Better than reading the same repetitive shite on the rant, because no one is smart enough to see if their dumb arse question or statement has been posted 47 times..

I'm not hungover, just burnt out on the same one liners being used 24/7 around here

The OT needs new material, too many copy cats and imitators around here

Don't forget the fact that Russian railroads were different sizes than Germans. That slowed them down for a while. Also Russian roads were(are?) made of dirt. Very difficult to drive a tank down dirt

North Korea-Larger military than every NATO member except US


"Larger" by what standard? China has the largest army by numbers with over 1 million soldiers.

I don't think railroads and dirt roads would be the biggest difficulties these days for a Russian invasion

I was referring to Hitler's invasion, not modern day logistics

If it's limited to each countries own military forces, I disagree with the entire list except for Russia, Iran, and Israel.


Switzerland is armed to the fricking teeth, they can form an organized militia of 400,000 in 24 hours, has mountainous terrain, bunkers built into the sides of multiple mountains enough to where they can abandon their cities and survive nuclear fallout, and their whole population is trained how to use arms. Per capita, I'm relatively certain Switzerland would be the most difficult country to invade.

I'd need a caveat on whether it's a scorched earth campaign or not, i.e. Whether civil casualties and infrastructure destruction are to be avoided or not.

If the invasion is just to wreck shite and take down the govt the list is drastically different than otherwise.

Goddamn, you're dumb.


"SuccessfullY invade" might have been a better use of language, but we can all agree invasions of Russia have not gone well.

Come on man.

The fat rednecks of the South are going to be all the defense the U.S. needs.

China isn't a NATO member.

Neither is India who also has a larger military force than the USA.

Hitler almost did it. It literally took an entire city eating rats and generally just being weird Russians to not lose.


And that is why Russia would make the list. Those weird crazy, rat eating bastards are not going to be subjugated by anyone but their own subjugators. "Stalin may be a mass murdering hyper authoritarian psychopath, but he's OUR mass murdering hyper authoritarian psychopath!"

And between Napoleon and Hitler there was this little scrap we now call World War I. People tend to forget that invasion of Russia worked out pretty well for the invaders then...

Nonsense. it's actually the other way around. If the US didn't hold Israel back they would wipe out the countries in that region that hate them.
