Sounds familiar somehow or other. They say that at Agincourt, the French knights charged into a funnel-shaped field and, when they got to the narrow part of the funnel, all trampled each other and that, even had there been no English there with longbows at all, most of them would have died...
Every Russian kid knows this story. I wonder how many West Point grads know it.
From the Russian perspective, it is waves upon waves of Zombies coming from the West - be it Vatican-inspired Swedes, Napoleon, French-British or Hitler, it starts the same way (sustained heavy Russian losses), and ends the same way - by the total annihilation of the invaders. Ruskies' moves are predictable. They fight on their soil and they will not allow another 20 million Russians be murdered by the new Nazis. They will use nukes. First strike, retaliatory, does not matter, it will be equally bad for everyone.
The question is - what is the end game? Mutual joint destruction of U.S.A. and Russia, like taken from James Bond movie? It looks more and more probable with every passing day.
