You seem to think that's it's simply a numbers game. How many tanks did Hizbollah have versus the IDF Merkava in 2006? None.
Why do US Generals think that the US would be defeated in a conventional land war. Again I'm no military expert but there are more than one ways to skin a cat. Any fool could tell you that. US Generals will admit that Russian anti aircraft missiles, artillery etc are superior. If the Russians are so good at blowing a passenger airliner out of the sky then I would imagine they have plenty more tricks to knock out anything else. I don't know. Where do these vaunted 5G fighters fuel themselves? Where do they take off from and land. Target a few airstrips with missiles and that's the end of that. Are they all going to fly in from aircraft carriers in the Med? Another missile on the deck of that and that's the end of that launching pad. American troops on the ground will effectively be on their own. Any medevac helicopters shot down. Any field hospitals shelled Again these are the observations of AMERICAN military analysts, not me.
You would do better to maybe read Sun Tzu and not brag about capabilities that you think you have. The same "we'' kick anyone's ass" nonsense has been barfed out for 40 years and on each occasion it has shown to test American embarrassment and arrogance.
Just saw there that Hungary is refusing to allow further NATO deployments onto their soil as part of this Ukraine pantomime. NATO is looking more and more toothless and full of bull with each passing day.
It's the Oh-Macron variant.
Oh yeah, but the excuse is always that they've got the right to move troops around their own country, and if they happen to invade a neighbour, it's only because they were provoked to do so.
The Firtash story is more than one man’s grab for riches. It demonstrates how Putin uses Russian state assets to create streams of cash for political allies, and how he exported this model to Ukraine in an attempt to dominate his neighbour, which he sees as vital to Russia’s strategic interests. With the help of Firtash, Yanukovich won power and went on to rule Ukraine for four years.
This video says a lot

The EU deal was designed to have the IMF fleece Ukraine and hand their most fertile farmland over to Monsanto. The terms were onerous. If his decision was taken in bad faith then what has that got to do with the EU? If it was taken in good faith what still has that got to do with the EU? He wasn't run out of town because he was was robbing his country blind at the expense of Ukrainian Joe Sixpack in order to facilitate Russian plunder. He was run out because he would do that for the EU.
While on the subject of Generals and their statements, heres a Russian one for you... Or is it only the US / Nato ones that count? ( and then only when they say something negative about US military preparedness???} Personally, BurgerFace, I'd say that the back room Battle planning boys have been planning scenarios like this for years, and especially since 2014. Anyway. here's Leonid Grigoryevich Ivashov fo you.
The colonel-general of the Russian Federation, Leonid Grigoryevich Ivashov, who is also the chairman of the Assembly of Officers, has said that the leadership is not able to pull Russia out of the systemic crisis.
Ivashov states in a public letter that the situation in Ukraine is of a mercenary nature.
"The leadership of the country [President Vladimir Putin], realizing that it is not able to pull the country out of the systemic crisis, then this could lead to a popular uprising and a change of regime.
"Through the support of the oligarchs, corrupt officials, the lure of the media and the security forces, decided to activate the political line for the eventual destruction of Russian statehood," Ivashov wrote.
Head of All-Russian Officers' Assembly, Leonid Ivashov, called on Russian leadership not to use force against Ukraine in an open letter to Putin and Russians.
Ivashov's comments refute all of Putin's claims and basically call him a liar.
Surreal

How many 5 gen aircraft does Russia have again vs NATO?
Or should i say how many aircrafts in total does Russia have vs NATO
Must have been a shift change
The article was based on one particular airborne unit ,
But hey don't let that get in the way ,nato and the US would anilate Russia in a conventional war , likely nuclear one too
Like I said, it wasn't me who said the US would get hammered, it was US general McMaster.
You think that the US and NATO would control the skies in a conventional war against Russia?
It's been mentioned on here look at what the Biden family did to ukraine ,
Question what did the Biden family to to ukraine ???????
Like a lot of what the usual suspects say they post something and run away and then come back a week later and make another suggestion
He is dead since 1945,we are talking about Tsar Putin,former KGB operative in eastern germany,and FSB director, that wears high heels to look taller and suffers from Napoleon syndrome.
Explain ukraine and Georgia
Excuse me for interrupting but ‘invading’ Eastern Europe may have something to do with a certain A. Hitler.
You forgot the epic music!
all to the theme of the Lion King
Isn't this all in line with Russia's historic relationship with the rest of Europe? They agitate, invade eastern Europe, create a response, get invaded and then destroy that army after initial losses, suffer an internal revolution , put it down and rebuild. Isn't this just the cycle of Russia?
The crates of worms that will spill out when that prick dies will be something else. He's spent years basically claiming that he barely owns anything, but it's plain as day that he's probably one of the wealthiest people on the planet.
genuine legit though...swear
Imagine his country is in decline and yet he owns a 100millon yacht and a several billion euro retirement palace
Everyone's favourite diminutive sleepy nuclear dictator has removed his €87m yacht from German waters without the repairs it was initially sent to Germany for being completed. For fear of it being caught up in sanctions.
Now, why would you do that if you hadn't anything bad in mind .......

Ukraine for ye

2 more weeks!
Yes Burgerface, and I've seen what peasants ( they would strongly object to that term BTW) wearing flip flop sandals did to the Russians in Afghanistan, they took down the mighty Mi-24 flying tank, the Hind. They killed thousands of Russian troops, and destroyed thousands of tons of equipment. The Chechens did the same thing ( although they were not wearing sandals). Do you think that Russia will fare any better this time round in the Ukraine? And heres a story from me Burgerface. I was in a remote village in Chechnya, and spent the night in the local headmans house as his guest. He told me that when they captured young Russian soldiers, they took their weapons, fed them and freed them. Because they knew that these people ( kids, basically ) were not there of their own free will, and Allah forbids killing of the innocent.
The latest Russian expansion of forces 6 landing craft have arrived in the black sea
On 7 August 2008 Russia invaded Georgia, violating international law and flouting the principles enshrined in the Helsinki Final Act, including sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the non-use of force. Coming a few months after the Bucharest Summit, where NATO promised Georgia a seat at its table, it was a clear message that Moscow would not tolerate Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration aspirations. Yet, rather than sanctioning Russia for this act of aggression, the West gave Russia a second chance and offered a “reset” in ties. This was a major error.Thirteen years on, 20% of Georgia remains occupied. Russia has not implemented crucial elements of the 2008 six-point ceasefire agreement, including withdrawing its forces to pre-conflict positions. Instead, Moscow has increased its political, economic and social influence in the occupied territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The populations of both have become more isolated and susceptible to Russian disinformation and propaganda.
Now thats cleared up for ye
You've done whitewashing Russia invading Georgia, now do whitewashing the Nazis invading Czechoslovakia.
