Completely dominating another world super power in two weeks? So a war would be over in a month. I admittedly have not read as much about our military and other powers, but I don't think it would be a quick walk in the park.


Russia is so far behind the US in terms of military technology it's laughable. Thats including their recent attempts at modernization. Then you cut off their oil fields and it's over. Russia in its current state is no world power.

Comparative to other countries, they're not that bad off.

They've got their own oil... and lots of it.

While not on the same level as they were at the height of the Soviet Union, they're still very dangerous.

Don't forget that quantity has a quality all of its own.


Supposedly German tankers used to complain that they were able to take out ten allied tanks for every one that they lost.

Didn't stop tank number 11 from chugging up the hill.
