Who'd win in a conventional war? or semi-conventional war? or would it be stale-mate?

The HuffPo had this article explaining how NATO would be totally outmatched by the Russkies, and in the end complimenting Trump on a policy that suggests that a European war need not be fought and will not be fought against Russia. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/na ... 3f2c65e892

This article puts Russia in the driver seat, too. http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-bu ... -war-22167

Polish officials announced Thursday they were sending a group of troops with engineering equipment to assist.

As of Thursday afternoon, officials said land dredging equipment was on the way, and a dam was being reinforced to isolate the mud pumping area.

There is that NATO country that actually has a substantial army that no one seems to mention.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Yup. Well trained and able to fight in winter. To a lesser degree Poland has stepped up as the spearpoint of Europe.....they've seen the script to up close and personal to want a repeat of Russian shite.

So after about 6 weeks of Trump "tough talk", Trump got the NATO sec general he wanted and a commitment for a serious military re-arming of Europe. Trump says NATO is stepping up now, which makes negotiating with Putin just a little easier.

Turkey may be able to field more tanks and armored units than Russia, after three years war Russia is depleted.

We in Africa don't care. Washington and Moscow should eliminate each other and let the world carry on.
