Take it one step further. Ever think that may because they don’t intend to invade Europe? Their defense posture is pretty much built around the idea they expect NATO to invade them.
Whoa. That’s pretty bad arse.
Not my problem
A 2,000 man force is not really huge.
So how do you envision a direct US-Russia conventional war that doesn’t go nuclear?
Maybe this is a clever ploy by Putin to get us to bankrupt ourselves. Sort of a reverse-Reagan caper. “We will run war games and fool the Americans into spending themselves to oblivion”.
It’s not necessary Valdimir. We have RATs doing that already.
We already dumped huge sums into Afghanistan and trashed our industrial capacity for China.
You would think historical memory would reach back to the 1980s, but apparently not.
Where’s Matt Helm when you need him?
One Reaper Drone can carry up to 14 Hellfire’s. Probably not more than 3 or 4 needed to totally take out Command and Control.
You might be 100000% correct.
I did some work with a bunch of guys that used to work on a variety of the Air Forces Fighters. Sharp dudes. Was told about the capabilities of our stuff and some of the newer weapons systems that they knew about. Smart bombs that can track a target, fire and forget JDAMS that can track to the target itself without the old school crosshairs. One of them was telling me that if the leash were ever taken off with the assets we have, the US could take out all the air defenses of any country in less than a few hours.
They talk of war games where F15s and F22s are not allowed to use the weapon systems to make it fair. Apparently, during a fight with Syria, the Israeli F15s were shooting Syrian jets as they were taking off, while they were flying over the Mediterranean.

Nothing a few Canadian geese couldn’t take out heh.
Biden is wondering how much Putin is going to make leaving all that stuff behind for an enemy. Jealous...
Tell that to the Georgians. 20% of their land is under Russian control.
12 Years After Russian Invasion, Georgia Sees No End in Sight

“Some 2,000 servicemen and more than 200 pieces of military equipment featured in the drill, as troops stormed ashore in a war game in Kaliningrad, on the Russian border with the European Union.”
What....? no trannie servicepersons...? I’m sure they took time out to discuss white supremacy and white rage within their (probably) lily-white ranks....I’m sure they also are aware of the vast importance of diversity and inclusion in their ranks as well......
We are sooooo f**ked.
Sounds like a NATO wet dream.
Why would Putin invade his biggest oil and gas customers?
It looks like the easy score in an arcade game.
