This would be the Russian army on day three (but with more shattered booze bottles).

Shockwaves reverberated through Eastern Europe tonight after Vladimir Putin boasted he could invade five NATO capitals inside two days.
This came amid new reports that almost 4,000 Russia troops are massing in Crimea close to Ukraine's mainland.
'If I wanted, Russian troops could not only be in Kiev in two days, but in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw or Bucharest, too,' Putin was quoted as threatening, according to Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko.
All are former USSR or Soviet-bloc cities and apart from Ukraine their countries are now NATO and EU members.

The cold war is over. Oh wait.....
Don’t be a child, you want to play a game where you remove the United States from NATO to live your fantasy of a Russia that would stand a snowball’s chance in hades to successfully invade NATO.
Yes, that would be pulling us out of NATO after Russia launched an attack against us, in your goofy fantasy, Americans are being pulled out of NATO reaction forces and and Europe, as they retreat from their European wide entrenched NATO positions.
There are some things that Obama couldn’t pull off even if he wanted to, and retreating in the face of a Russian invasion of NATO, is one of them. Besides while your man Putin may be there for life, we have a new election in about 2 years.
Our few Russia backing freepers are determined to rebuild the Cold War and Russian empire.
Meanwhile, the Chinese continue their buildup west of Taiwan at a rapid pace.
It’s like the American Dad episode. “The Best Christmas story never Told”.
Russia has a sizable army. Probably spies all over the place.
Polonium-210, anyone?
Er, then what happened in 1939?
Does your psychosis often cause such imaginings?
Do you think that just maybe, there are Putinistas under your bed?
Probably.
You see 'em everywhere.
Psychosis is living in a fantasy where you have your man Putin attacking NATO with his limited, degraded, Army, and the United States retreats and pulls our 70,000 troops out of Europe and flees, and watches as NATO fights and defeats Russia without us.
You are one strange, goofy kid.
Russia’s entire military is about 766,000 which includes the Navy, after being wiped out by NATO it would be too tiny to defend itself and keep it’s territories from seceding and China from encroaching, it would have to ask NATO to help it survive.
This would be the Russian army on day three (but with more shattered booze bottles).
Yep in a nutshell.
LOL!

Exactly! The scene where mondale surrenders and tanks start rolling in...
It worked for the Russians in 1939 in Poland.
I do not think he would have said this—even if its true. He could get to Paris in two weeks, London in three weeks.
Only because Poland was occupied with her other neighbor.
For Poland to be defeated, it takes more than one nation.
That is very true. Hitler did help Russia beat Poland in 1939.
Putins talking big, but he don’t have the support at home for such a moive. Obama might renig on NATO obglizations but most of the rest of NATO wont and they only have to start the responce before we get drag in.
Frankly Russia isn’t strong enough to take on France, Germany, Poland, and whatever is left of the UK tomorrow.
How would Putin get there, on a bus? He sure doesn’t have a military capable of such invasions.
For good measure you even have Russia invading England, by sea and air, with what?
