mark my words, the Germans would frick Russia sideways if they ever invaded...If the USA can keep them supplied, Germany would beat their arse

I'd agree with you if this were still the 1980's. But the Germany of today has gutted its military. They've got some good equipment, especially tanks. They just dont have near enough of them or the well trained crews to man them.

you are not very good at history are you?

Go on....

Despite what many people want to believe, no one wants to go to war with the U.S.

That includes those crazy fricks in Russia.

What does that make America to Russia?

Right now they look at America and see a military ground down from two decade long wars and reeling from a morale standpoint due to progressive social engineering. The see an American army that's at its smallest since before WWII. They see a leader is is both clueless and spineless. And most importantly, they see that we don't have enough forces in Europe to do more than defend one single good sized city, much less blunt a full scale invasion.

Have you ever taken a look at the huge losses Germany took in the Battle of France? It was no cakewalk for them despite being a six week campaign.

There was a thread on here not long ago where I took the time to dig into the German losses in France in 1940. You'd be shocked to know how much the French made Germany bleed.

I'll give you that.

Previous engagements that America joined, or was directly brought into, lead me to believe that America would not be short on man-power.

Frighteningly spineless.

Easily correctable.

I don't doubt that. France still signed the armistice though.

Not really. Ever hear of an exercise we use to do back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's called REFORGER?

Basically it was an exercise where usually we were shipping one heavy division to Europe to reinforce the other divisions we already had there. The problem now though is none of those divisions we had in Europe are still there. If war broke out today, we'd have to try pulling off a REFORGER of about four or five divisions. We simply don't have the shipping to pull that off in less than I'd say 4 to 6 months.

Russia is not the enemy. Islam is the enemy.

Now once the Islamic horde has been slaughtered and Europe reclaimed...maybe then Russia will be the enemy again. But for now they may need to be our allies
