re: Neocons claim NATO can defeat Russia in 3 days. Have they lost their mind?

A few things have changed since Hitler, who made it to Moscow considerably faster than Napoleon because…a few things had changed since Napoleon rode his horse through Russia.

We could indeed defeat Russia in three days, but we would have to go nuclear. And the US would probably survive that with few, if any losses. But obviously that won’t happen, because no one would take responsibility for killing 50 million Russians.

In a conventional war we would certainly beat Russia but it would take a couple of years, unless we have fancy weapons we don’t know about.

At this stage in the game, there are valid arguments that Russia should nuke Kyiv and show the entire world what nuclear war will be like.

there are no valid arguments for nuking Kyiv.

Yes and even the supply aircraft and ships need service and refueling at some point. The line goes all the way home.

I don't know about 3 days. But conventionally we could wipe them out in a head to head and it would not take very long comparatively. The Western part of Russia is flat mostly, so geographic advantages go away.

The Russians so far have proven overall unable to truly master the integration of air and land forces whereas that is what NATO thrives on. We pound from the air which gives our land forces cover to get into position to move offensively. If this were mountainous terrain, I think we are much more limited

But 3 days is very much unrealistic. But with our airpower we could hurt them greatly. Also in an artillery duel, if we know where there forces are we can be incredibly effective.

However, our logistics capability is remarkeable. We can get supplies into position in impressive fashion and continue it. As Yamamoto once said, you really do not understand the awesome industrial capacity of the United States.

I'm not sure Americans do either

I agree. What I would rather see the retaliation method used be similar to Israeli tactics whereas a few prominent leaders are removed. These decision makers have lost their minds in an effort to profit off of war.

Sounds like a good idea if your strategy is to extinguish all life on earth

Ukraine has been using “NATO tactics “ against Russian forces. They have largely failed.

If I could push a button to kill just one single, solitary Russian soldier...I wouldnt do it. Let the Russians have Ukraine. If they were invading Poland, itd be a different story. Poles arent Russian. Ukraine is a made up country there just to siphon US taxpayer dollars and launder it back to our politicians.

Comparatively for how fast a military can move now and how we don't need a long supply line of troops or have to rely on immediate resources to supply said troops on ground it's a bit different comparison to today's military

Are you suggesting we can be at Russia without taking it with foot soldiers?

Absent nuclear weapons, this is actually correct. I'm not in favor of it by any stretch, but NATO could go from Berlin to Moscow in 72 hours if we were so inclined.
