Russia is nothing like what they used to be, they still depend on poorly trained, poorly equipped 1 year draftees.

They have a few small units that they have been trying to train and equip but you are over blowing their overall effectiveness.

The Old war machine had 7 Airborne divisions and massive amounts of Air Assault and bridge building units and tank Divisions, a military built on attack and conquest that doesn’t exist today. If they attack NATO, their military will be quickly destroyed, leaving Russia exposed to it’s internal and Eastern problems.

Russia isn’t anywhere close to the world power that it used to be, some estimates have their actual Army size at about 244,000 men, and in the attack against the West, they would be destroyed pretty easily.

Russia isn’t going to attack NATO. That’s nonsense.

As I have stated, many times, For the Obamunists, Ukraine is a part of a much bigger geo-political game, focused on SYRIA...
