I have been out since 1996...and perhaps the current American Military Machine (and western world) is much worse than I think. However, I have a hard time believing the Russian military junk can stand up to our modern weaponry. The Iraq conflict was a great proxy test of our technology. What...did it take 2 weeks to defeat the 4th largest army in the world.?.?

I appreciate your candor - unlike other clowns that have NO CLUE as to what what we’ve been doing the past 20 years and think we still have the Reagan military (maybe the first Gulf War is why they think we’re so invincible).
And I especially love your screen name.
But no, for the past 2 decades the Washington Times has been chronicling the military advances in Russia on a near-daily basis...and the articles are either totally fake, or scary as hell, especially because we have nothing to match them.
As to the Gulf War in 1990, we had our Cold War military, and Iraq only had second-string hardware (like us, the Russians keep their best hardware at home, or at least under the control of their own soldiers), and third-string soldiers to use that hardware. Their army did look huge on paper, and like everyone else I was shocked by how quick we crushed them.
Trying to fight Russians on what is essentially Russian territory will be an entirely different fight...nothing like that cakewalk.
