They will all fail. Best thing GB could do, walk away
It's insane to wage war like that.
But they don't need to.
Its a catch 22, if Putin raises an army of 2 million men required to finish the job in Ukraine , He then poses a Very real threat to the border lands Possibly prompting NATO action. I know theres a lot of Bullshit saying he is going to attack and over run NATO , but NATO knows different, they understand that Russia hasnt demonstrated the actual capacity to do the job. And that was by intent by the Russians , they can sell it to the public , but the military understands He hasnt shown the intent or the ability to invade the west .If he raises an army of huge proportions he poses a viable threat .Its a very calculated response. He wants to use just enough troops to win without poseing a threat to the west.
Nobody serious thinks Russia can invade the west, or even make a serious attempt to do so.

Thats the story theyre trying to sell to the public to help support the military aid to Ukraine , If Russia defeats Ukraine, then all of Europe is in danger. Hogwash.
I'm sure Russia is just one good Calvary charge from victory.
You honestly think Russia could present a real conventional threat to NATO ?
Is it? You think they should have just run over the NATO trained, equipped,army which was larger , and just brush them aside so easy? Without question, there are some serous problems with the training and leadership of the Russian armed forces , that is apparent. Both sides had to contend with a new form of drone warfare for which there had been no real consideration or counter for . With real time satellite intelligence. The russian military had to fight with limited use of airpower because they could not absorb the losses, and if it was attritted to badly, they would have no hope of countering a NATO air campaign, they were forced to husband thier air assets as much as possible , leaving it to artillery and the ground pounders . in the back of the Russians minds is How are we going to deal with an attack by NATO? The Russians cant go 100% , it exposes them if they fall short
Throw in real time intelligence, and its a game changer
But the only answer to "how will we counter NATO ?" Is "you don't".
Yeah right, Like the Russian general staff is going to just quit and walk away. Now thats dumb.
What is it you think they would do ?
In WWII the polish sent Calvary charges on horseback to repel the German Blitzkreig combined arms assault.
Yes thats the theory. But it isnt going to work the way you think, there are many counter measures the Russians can take, They can already block our GPS systems, they can use Jamming, and they can field thousands of radar emitting decoys Possibly hit our own airfields with drones or missiles. In any case, this demonstrates your belief that We are immune to enemy action and that technology cannot be overcome with lesser means. The Ukraines themselves had better training , better equipment , better intel than the Russians and they are losing.
We have fought all these Russian systems.
You know how terrain mapping works right? Radar. It sends radar waves directly to the ground and reads the terrain compares it to its on board maps and makes corrections . You send out enough radar chatter and you can blind them .
This! You see this shit!!?? You do understand why this wont work right?
Yeah Im getting that from the fact that Ukraine citys are being bombed by missiles , Im getting that from the fact that patriots are not capeable of hitting hyper sonic missiles. You can see those facts on any news station chief,
Can you specify what personal feelings ? because I have no idea what your talking about.
Yes, but that sort of jamming is impractical for the whole path, and the terminal guidance is usually optical.
Yes, militaries have contingencies and plan out everything.
that would be correct. But certainly the most likely and probable possibilities are going to be addressed. NATO or Poland entering the war would be a primary threat and contingency plans to deal with it have already been drawn up, and those plans require reserve forces . IM sure the Ukrainians have reserve forces posted in and around Kiev in the event of a Russian break through , and this demonstrates the point why you shouldn't go 100% , its to dangerous .
Apples and oranges, Shitty air defense, and no air force , wide open terrain , and the Iraqis were not exactly a high end military, they had some tough units from the republican guard and a lot of conscripts.
Thats not what I said at all.
Baghdad was considered to have the most sophisticated air defense on the planet at the time.
