What exactly do you think stands in their way if they were to roll into any of the NATO countries on their borders tomorrow?

This is all theoretical anyway. And theoretically, you think Russia will deploy their forces to invade so secretly that no one will see it coming?
This idea that Russia will somehow roll through Eastern Europe like a hot knife through butter is a joke. They're not ready for a war with NATO, and no, I don't fall into propaganda hype. A neutered NATO is still better militarily than Russia. In a world where ATGMs are wrecking everything tank on the battlefield, rushing through the Baltics or Poland will be hell without air and naval superiority, which Russia wouldn't have.
Anyway, British tactics and training are better than Russia's and they would win alongside their NATO allies in a theoretical war with Russia. Especially if it was brought to the isles

mmm...doubt it. We arent talking 1945 British infantry here. The Russians have actually seen recent combat

The fact that, as a whole, British military professionalism is the best in the world. Their military schooling is one of the best and their national pride is unmatched on the battlefield.

Tanks are outdated. Military aircraft rule the battlefield. Tanks seem like a massive death trap

Most of their forces are already deployed close to their border. They could be ready to roll in a few days at most.

I'm sorry but that is complete and total horseshite. I honestly hope you're not stupid enough to believe any of that drivel you just typed. Before you post any more here and show just how clueless to the European situation of toady you truly are, I suggest you do a lot of research.

It's been years since the British have conducted anything above battalion or regimental maneuvers. Even the one division they do have left would take weeks (like 6-8 weeks) of training before it could meet even MINIMUM combat standards. The Russians on the other hand have for the past several years conducted huge training maneuvers to ensure their forces are capable of carrying out large scale "theatre" sized missions. Russia is ready for war today while NATO would take weeks or months to be ready for anything.
In other words, Russia has spent the last decade building up and training their forces. The British (and the rest of NATO) have not.

I don't think it will be a blitzkrieg attack but rather a slow infiltration amongst the local populace. It's likely to be a somewhat of an ambiguous attack at first. It would buy NATO some time for an effective full scale response.

We should absorbe them. They are basically our territory anyway.

I know you get a fricking raging boner when thinking about Russia but you're fantasizing far too much about a theoretical Russian invasion.
Their ground forces lack the support and logistics to carry out a large theater size invasion on Eastern Europe. Their forces would become quickly overextended and outflanked by even the shittiest NATO forces.
Even if they were to secure the Baltics and Poland, NATO air forces would obliterate their logistics rendering an offensive army useless.
Their shite is so Cold War that it's embarrassing. Tanks are becoming more outdated every year that passes. And even if they were to somehow sneak Europe like you dream about, they'd be in such shite with the rest of the world that everything would come crashing down around them.
Russia is more likely to dissolve immediately as a united federation if they were to invade than succeed militarily.
And you underestimate Britain, once again. Not a shocker though.
Yes and that's going great in Ukraine.
And the Brits win at both. The only thing they lack is deployed numbers. What Britian lacks in a standing army they make up for in their military excellence and flexibility

Average? No. And I do agree that France has a very capable and well-trained military. France and the U.K. have the two best militaries in Western Europe.

This is likely their biggest weakness, especially since these vulnerable eastern European countries have seen huge surges in national militia numbers. The only issue is that they probably won't get overextended because their goal likely won't be full takeover of these countries.

What reason would Russia have to want to go to war with England?
Posted on 1/22/17 at 9:26 pm to upgrayedd
Then what is their goal and how do they accomplish it without killing their own country? War as we've known it has been made obsolete since WWII. Everything must be fought through proxy wars and Russia has been getting outclassed in those for a while now.
They wouldn't have a reason, which is why this thread is retarded. It's just ole Darth getting his rocks off thinking about a war with Russia.

How the frick do any of you know this? You act like you're 5 star generals or secret intelligence.
I think you're strictly pulling shite from thin air...
