COL Macgregor’s point was that Ukraine could field a massive army of hundreds of thousands of motivated, patriotic irregulars against a trained Russian force of about 50,000-75,000.
Why should we get involved at all in an area that Russia has, for many centuries, considered part of their territory? Why should we get involved in Syria and risk WW3 where Russia has had significant influence for 50-60 years and will further wear themselves down?
Iran is a real threat who passionately hates us. Russia is not the USSR anymore. They don’t really give a damn about us aside from what they see as our meddling in their spheres.
Hell, I wonder if the USSR was ever what we thought the USSR was.
LOL! You're not serious, right? Go look at the OB for the WGF alone and then come on back and say that.
