“Don’t totally belittle the NATO fighting men the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Poland, and the others just to prop up the Russians.”
Stop throwing strawmen.
The American Soldier is the best in the world.
Our POLITICAL LEADERSHIP however, isn’t.
There is no straw man, except for this heroic Russian fighting man that you guys keep putting over us as the superior man, the superior warrior, able to defeat the United States and the strongest militaries in the world, united against them.
Your constant political propaganda is an effort to defeat American will against Russia, not strengthen it.
American soldiers are average, with gear they are better. If you want to find excellent world class troops, look a bit further north.
Russia world never get past Poland. They are tenacious.
“Our POLITICAL LEADERSHIP however, isn’t.”
My comment is not about the shrinking American military or the capability of our soldiers, Marines, airmen (which I was for six years), and sailors. My comment is about Europe’s lack of military preparedness/spending and the missing fortitude in Western nations that the next world war will require.
Our current administration won’t even help the Egyptians and Jordanians bomb AQ/ISIS. He will not send our military to protect a bunch of white people in Europe.
Poland would put up a fight but they are too small. England and France are run by Socialists (with large populations of dangerous Muslims). Canada cannot conduct a meaningful war without USAF tanker support.
