“Most of the independent military analysts I read have agreed that currently Russia would defeat the United States in a land war. Russia is clearly on the ascendency and we are now clearly...uh...“

There is not any Military analyst that would agree that Russia would defeat the US/NATO in a nonnuclear conflict. The US would suffer casualties, the Russians would suffer defeat. The US/NATO air supremacy would ensure the destruction of the Russian military.

After NATO/US soaks up the damage, we win? right? Russia they lose. Brilliant! Where you gonna sit it out at Einstein?

LOL. How worthy is the “expert opinion” given that they were wrong on every point about the Ukrainian thing?
The obvious disadvantages of the American doctrine are reliance on the oversized logistic train, air supremacy, and light infantry. USMC didn’t even have tanks anymore.
How do you plan to defeat the Russians when they are going to blow your forward based and deny air superiority? How the truck-hopping light infantry is going to fight against the Russian combined arms?

The propaganda you see in media in one thing, the reality is another thing.

Perhaps you should refrain from speaking for other people. In fact, one of the specific military analysts I was referring to specifically said that the U.S. would BEGIN with air superiority, but that Russia’s EXCELLENT air defence would quickly result in negating our air advantage.

I think he was being sarcastic.
