In terms of military might alone, the US, by itself, could batter Russia really badly.This is no game, Not anymore.
Snowden may have handed this to Putin, and We Peps may have handed it to Snowden as a Trojan Horse.
So, it is a real mis-step. Either our current admin as been caught flat footed or they want it to seem that way to force the Putin Error.
Nothing and i mean nothing is real in the American Press.
But, you are right, This is tripwire, Up the ante. But, you are wrong if you think NATO can handle Putin,
Putin hopes he can twist Obama into a corner where he will sacrifice a NATO candidate. Maybe then he thinks he can have an insignificant NATO partner, like Estonia.
At that point, I hope he doesn't forget, (but we like to make them forget) he is not facing the President any more, he is against the US Congress and the Treaty Alliance,
The President has absolutely nothing to do with that one, if the Critters get aroused,
They can simply get a new Commander any time they want through Impeachment.
Self rule.
We have never fought Russia or any Nuke armed State.In terms of military might alone, the US, by itself, could batter Russia really badly.
1.4 million active troops in the best equipped, most technologically advanced military vs 845,000 active troops, with mediocre equipment.
NATO has what... 12? Aircraft carriers and Russia has 1....
Just sayin....
Oh I know, just pointing out the difference in sheer military might. Not saying anyone would really 'win' if it came down to nuclear warfare.But if it were a conventional war, Russia would certainly be the underdog.We have never fought Russia or any Nuke armed State.
Do you know why? MAD
Yeah, VICE is the cats-ass.It is 10 levels above that equipment count in Global Real Politics.
There won't be a fight with us, The fight is happening every day in Ukraine.
It may very well be setting up in Estonia already.
Watch VICE news Dispatches from Ukraine for a look a civil war and just how they can be started.
It is a very interesting question, so I thank you for that.In terms of military might alone, the US, by itself, could batter Russia really badly.

7 pages of this stuff. This is just a snip. And it kinda made me think there is a lot to waging war. How many generations of replacement for attrition, coming of age? wHA???. Very strange read. Nobody is fooling anyone here.
If Modern War if not dealt with constantly, it can become global population attrition, quite easily.
