WWIII
Is it the alcohol? Late hour? Or has reading comprehension hit a new low?
I didn’t write a damned thing about ‘the Puppet’ (my own oft-parroted pet name).
And Americans DO support our enemies, as pathetic as that is.
The powers that be seek to remain in power by any means. War, Crises and terrorist attacks make them stronger because the simple-minded among us can’t say “when”.
Making war with the Russians, when we should be making amends and working them against the Chinese...not driving them together...will be this country’s undoing.
And yet they’ll try to do it anyway so-as not not to be insignificant...to not be the last one without a chair. Because they do a good job of convincing stupid people that they’re ‘on-target’...
Thanks.
Such transformation was in the works long before Obama was even in the Senate. There are arguments for and against it, but it’s not anything Obama did. I doubt he even knows what a BCT is.
If you know what we have and how we fight with it, then that answers your question.
They're sending the 4th ID HQ, not the entire 4th ID. Divisions don't deploy anymore.
Really. And how will Putin respond? Probably with a larger show of force than 100 troops.
I don’t how much the doctrine changed, but we always planned on our superior tanks and air power to retard the Soviet advance. That’s what the A-10s were for.
What do we have, and how do we fight with it?
We’re definitely going the more maneuverable route with tighter air integration along with vastly superior C2 and SA. We have capabilities on those fronts that were unthinkable in the Cold War era. Plus we still have a fair amount of armor both staged in Germany and in prepositioned stocks. Not to mention the overall strength and capability of Russia or, rather, lack of it. I wouldn’t worry too much about the “Soviet hordes.”
We weren’t ready to fight in 1941 either, but once we mobilize, there’s no stopping us.
Good!
Glad I read the poorly written info incorrectly, LOL! :)
We are not interested in trying to appease the mass-murdering war criminal KGB Putin and begging him to “make amends” with us. That is not going to happen, so just forget about it.
Yeah Putin is really good at his “shows” of force. Because Putin is “all show.”
Head to head, we would clearly kick their asses.
If the dollar is still the reserve currency, we could afford to kick their asses.
If the dollar is not the reserve currency, we could not afford the gas for the tanks.
Things change, and sometimes quickly. Wouldn’t it be funny if we lost this war because we were not planning to fight the war before the last war? We are all technology and drones and fast light infantry. The war plan in Europe was suppose to be mobile heavy infantry.
In any event, Putin would take it nuclear pretty fast (low yield tac nukes.). Would MAD still apply?
I just don’t see Obama doing that, and I can see the JCS stopping him from doing something really stupid.
No we don't. Not anymore.
Who is “we”? So simple. /s
On that basis we should all be relegated to the ashpile due to our own so-called ‘leader’. I also never wrote of ‘making amends’ with Putin.
You have absolutely no comprehension of geopolitics, let alone ‘reading’...
We are not driving Russia into China's arms, Putin has rejected us and chosen his Communist Chinese comrades. You want to "blame America first" for everything our Russian enemy does. You are the one who is apparently unable to read and comprehend your own stupid gibberish, I understand you and all your kind perfectly. You can forget about your fantasy of uniting with Russia. That will never happen.
