It’s always been a tactic of the Western military industrial complex to overstate Russian/Soviet capabilities in order to extract more public money. Anyone with any sense was always aware of their shortcomings.
Competent countries lose hard in their wargames, because the whole point of wargames is to learn something from them. If you set out to roflstomp the opfor, you might as well stay home and play Red Alert on easy mode.
More succinctly: when training is hard, the mission is easy.
I wonder what kind of shit-ass tactics they attempted
Human waves lmfao
You can bet that NATO is drawing up plans to not fall back in the Baltics.
They could still win (and lose) in three days. It all depends on who gets the first nuclear strike.
There are enough warheads on both sides that no “first strike” could get all or even most. It’s lose/lose any time.
Look, I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed…
I just watched the British film ‘Threads’ about a nuclear exchange. Idk, how much nuclear winter will we need to counteract the global heating over the last 50 years?
Nuclear winter doesnt exist so ww3 is not the solution.
It also depends on Russian nukes not being made of cardboard. Or Trump selling him the US arsenal.
Or Trump selling him the US arsenal.
The Military Industrial Complex is more powerful than the oligarchy, I’m sure they’ll coup before they lose the nukes.
- they are part of the oligarchy
- do they car about “loosing the nukes”? As long as they continue to build replacements and are allowed to continue their maintanace in Russia they will not care who sits at the launch button. They want to get paid.
