very true! i was listening to Sean Ryan and an Intel Officer Guru & they were saying Russia has more nuclear capabilities than anyone on the planet & nuclear confrontation with Russia specifically is not an advantageous spot for anyone.

If Russia ever gets into a bad spot in conventional war & risk of losing with NATO/USA, i think they do what it takes to defend themselves & I don’t blame them. these are the same folks that gave them the Bolsheviks & that didn’t work out well for Mother Russia, it was a 100 year cancer.

I’m so tired of our tyrannical MIC controlling government our entire Gov’t, it must be stopped.

i just hope DJT, Kennedy, Elon, Vivek, Tulsi etc. stay alive because the Banking Cartel has been known to “Killary” folks that threaten their money flow.

There are some really dumb people in this world. If Russia was attacked, especially targeting their nuclear arsenal, they would launch their missiles.

Russia has enough nuclear missiles to overwhelm our defense and take out a large portion of the US and cause a nuclear winter that would kill millions more.

Top U.S. generals said Russia could defeat Ukraine in 72 hours.

As Yamamoto once said, you really do not understand the awesome industrial capacity of the United States.

I'm not sure Americans do either

We couldn't even supply ourselves with basic medical supplies during covid and had no means to quickly ramp up production. IV bags, tubing, saline, etc...those kinds of basics.

America then versus America now. You would think we would have learned a lesson by now.

So we can drop a few nukes on RU forces and call it a day?

You don’t think Russia would not respond with nuclear weapons, and likely against US targets?

That’s insane

We couldn’t even cover our own withdrawal from Kabul.

How about finding some sort of peace and not another GD war?

lol wtf Take a guess on how long an Abrams tank can roll around the battlefield without more fuel. Tell me...what's your guess?

This.

We already emptied our supplies of many artillery and other ordnance reserves to help Ukraine to the point we can’t even run routine exercises, HTF are we supposed to defeat Russia in 3 days?

We will need months if not years to even get our supply chain situation fixed given our current output capabilities.

Not to mention the obvious need to uparmor many platforms in the face of the drone and other threats which have emerged based on the battlefield lessons we’ve seen over the past few years so it’s not a replay of the HUMVEE / IED situation from our last war.

I'm all for no war. We are arguing a hypothetical. Given our resources, I will stand by my assessments. Conventionally NATO could neutralize the Russians. Nukes keeps either side from getting too ambitious

Technology allows things to happen faster. NATO contains a lot of countries. What would a 3 day air campaign do to Russia?

I'm suggesting even with foot soldiers that were far more nimble than Napoleon or Hitler's army and have much greater resupply capabilities than they did.

It’s time for the USA to cut ties with NATO and being Europes daddy. Kick them out the nest and let them handle their protection on their own. There is no reason the USA needs to have bases in Europe.

I’ve friends who are reliably Democrat who voted for Trump because they genuinely fear war is about to break out and they don’t trust Democrats to find an exit ramp.

My only hope is that Putin has the temperance to ignore that little shite Zelensky for two months…

LINK this is a 15 minute youtube interview of colonel wilkerson. he doesn't even think we could defeat iran. so, 3 days to take out russia doesn't seem right.

That is how they raise money. They create fear and respond with what they need to quell the fear.

If war was absolutely horrible there would be less war and far less war profits. The question is, which do you want more of?

Russia could do that. Ukraine would be defeated in days by themselves. However, Russia is fighting Ukraine propped up by NATO/West.

I think that if we struck first Russia would be unable to respond. I reiterate that this is a nutty hypothetical.
