I don't think they have very many, and it's a beauty, but tanks don't feature so strongly on the modern battlefield as they did in WW2, however. There are man-portable launchers that have single strike capability for most armoured vehicles, not to mention the move towards cheap and plentiful CAS craft (turboprops with Mavericks).

If Trump gets re-elected in 2020, add Ukraine, Belarus Baltics and Finland to that. NATO will have ended so Poland is left hanging in there.

Poland? Oh, you mean Greater Germany.

Poland? Oh, you mean Greater Germany.

Actually, it's not Germany, it's the Warsaw Oblast

Are you sure they're not pressing the claim on Prussian territories as they were prior to the signing of the Treaty of Tilset?

[Svartalf]

East Prussia is already called Kaliningrad these days, it's just waiting for the Bear to push for the rest of Poland to be assimilated again

[Jason]

Soon they'll be renaming Volgograd, by public referendum.

[Svartalf]

and they would rename it as what? Stalingrad again? c(mon, they won't have the balls to do that, even if they got a huge war memorial on Mamayev Kurgan.

I haven't heard anything for about 2 years, but there was some noise back in 2015, and I think Putin made a statement that it would be allowed if it passed a public referendum. They also tried to name the airport after Stalin in 2016 I believe.

Putinograd has a certain ring to it...

From all I've read, the majority of people in Crimea are happy enough to be a part of Russia, but the same won't be true if Putin moves on the Baltic states or the remainder of Ukraine...

Which propaganda rag did you get that from Jim? The Australian equivalent of the Daily Wail?

Nah, they want it to change back to Stalingrad. It seems modern Russians are ready to to romanticize the Stalin era and view the old days rose-tinted glasses.

[Svartalf]

sure, at that time they had trains running on time, and nobody ever complained of anything (cos every complainer ended up dead or in the gulag)
