The True State of Russian Army

[Bob Riebe]

                 
                   

        There is a video, I did not copy, on line that states the much hyped hyper-sonic aircraft/missiles is mostly hype, from both sides, due to simple physics of propulsion systems that only function well at certain speeds, so it takes multiple propulsion systems to reach and maintain x speed.
        Plus for such vehicles to strike a target, they MUST slow down to speeds that make them as easy to intercept as any missile or they will burn up in the atmosphere.

So the Russian military is a paper tiger.

General George Patton had the right idea towards the end of WWII. Wipe out their corrupt government while we had the troops already there.
Ukraine is at least as corrupt as Russia (it was Bidens piggy bank) and we need to stay outta that mess and let the Europeans deal with it. If they have the intestinal fortitude.  Which i doubt.

While Trump's trying to broker a peace treaty, the Ukrainian Nepoleon is running his mouth about what he will, and won't accept, and at the same time, begging for help, and American taxpayer dollars.

I hear nothing but crickets from Russia and Ukraine, because I don't listen to their bloviating.  Let them blow each other up.  IDC.

I did hear when the Biden Administration handed over BILLIONS of American Tax dollars to protect Biden's medling there.  That got my dander up.  There is nothing the Liberals do that doesn't.

theyre controlled by a mad man with nuclear strength equal to ours. hardly a paper tiger! would we beat them in a conventional war. probably but with MASS casualty's and bottom line is they have no intention of squaring off against us in a conventional war. then add to this the real chance that china would ally with them against us and we couldnt go toe to toe with that in the condition our military is in today even in a conventional war. Only a fool would under estimate putin and trump is sure no fool.

So far the miniscule Ukrainian army is not quite holding its own against the much larger Russian military. As long as the Un-United States keeps pouring billions of dollars of military hardware into the shithole known as The Ukraine, they will continue to not quite hold their own, and the rest of Europe will continue to watch, and criticize Trumps efforts to end the war. All the while, the whining little Napoleon of Ukraine begs for money, and dictates what he will, and won't accept for peace terms.
I say, give the rest of Europe 90 days notice that the Un-United States is kicking all of Europe off the taxpayer tit, and they're on their own with Russia.

As to Russia vs Un-United States military. I don't believe that Russia would have a snowballs chance in hell whipping our military. But I don't want the fight.

[Lloyd Smale]

we need europe but we need it fair where theyre paying their share. if russia china korea iran and others ally we dont stand a snowballs chance in hell of standing alone against them. also if we break all military ties with europe there is a good chance their only hope for survival is to give in and become allies to the other side because given free rein with no fear of us getting involved, russia and china will OWN Europe in a couple years. probably march through without a shot fired. i dont know what these "huge" punishments trump is threatening russia with today are but it better not be more paper tiger sanctions that do basically nothing like in the past. what he really needs to do is line up a couple hundred thousand troops on the border and tell putin to crap or get off the pot. tell Zelensky he gives us free access to ALL minerals and anything else we want including land for bases until he pays back every dollar we gave him and if he waffles on it we will walk away and send putin a personal invitation to crush them. What surely should be done is we need to walk away from nato and tell them we will gladly come back when they prove theyre willing to get serious about defending themselves. there should also be a nato rule that says no nato nation can impose tarrifs on another nato country. thats a no brainer. but sadly none of this will probably happen because although trump might be tougher then some past presidents he still has to fight the left at every corner and bottom line is hes a businessman not a warrior like Washington, Eisenhower, Roosevelt or even truman. now i like trump and hegseth but its a bit scary to think of being lead in a world war buy a wall street tycoon and a secretary of defense that was only a major against dictators that have been planning and controling for decades!

Personally, I don't understand why the rest of the world doesn't "call out" Putin for being the nekulturny gangster that he is.  HE started this war, for a warm-water port, and he could have just as easily went to Ukraine, asking to purchase rights to a right-of-way, and cost Russia a hell of a lot less than has been expended so far, in an effort to STEAL the warm water port.

He is a common armed thief on a grand scale.....nothing more, nothing less.
