Again, I remember when I was starry eyed about our military..Then I learned how it worked, and how others worked..
It always amuses me how people denigrate our military while worshiping the rest of the worlds. Throughout the cold war the Russian bear was going to sweep us away...only most of their shite didn't work for shite. Then the world's 3rd largest army was going wreck havok on the untested American army in Kuwait and on and on and on.
We spend more then the next 12 nations combined on shite to kill people and break things. I have zero doubt that there is not a single nation in the world that can stand up to us.
That is not me being a cheerleader, its me looking around and go..yup...we got this.
But whatever...since no one is stupid enough to challenge us directly no one will ever actually find out.
At this point the Russian armed forces (who are struggling with fricking Ukraine) would have problems rolling into and over Poland, nevermind germany. The Russians are no longer a world power, all the games Putin is currently playing are him wishing for the day back when the bear was something to be concerned with.
It no longer is.

You can read your books all day long...You'd be surprised to know how close other subs can get to our ships (and vice versa)

I'm not denigrating our military, I'm denigrating our civilians and government.

Go back a few pages and you'll see where I laid out how much stronger Russia is than Poland today. As for Germany, they've only got two armored divisions left. And between the both of them, they've only got a total of three actual armored brigade under command. That's right, the whole German Army of today only has a whopping total of THREE armored brigades. And of that three, one is a ceremonial unit so you might as well say they've got TWO operational armored brigades. As for infantry, Germany only has 2 mechanized infantry brigades, one mountain infantry brigade, and two airborne brigades. The whole German army today is barely over 60,000 troops total and the vast majority of those are not even combat troops. If anything, as bad off as Poland would be facing Russia, Germany is even less prepared for war than the Poles.
