Listen hear Half Cocked i didn't say the so called "west" should invade, did i.

I agreed with your so called "fact", that many would die if the west invaded. It's a no brainer really..

What's the next fact we have to face?

<<we can clean their clock any time we want,>>
.......................................................................

lol! the yanks are pathetic at war. Remember Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan lol!

Afghanistan, a bunch of bloody desert dwelling farmers lol!

I saw a clip of a bunch of American soldiers on the top of a tank when they were pulling out of Iraq, shouting and yahooing "yoohoo!!! we won, we won the war!! woohoo, we won!!!", USA!! USA!!! USA!!!

Pathetic, going back home to live in a cardboard box.

America didn't win sh1t, they ran away to invade another country, just like they're doing in Afghanistan. Can you see a trend?

You guys are good at the mouth but you can't fight.

The one thing you live for and so ashamedly bad at it lol

The thing is with those "wars" is that the "enemy" looks just like the "allies". Nobody knows who is supposedly good/bad so they just kill everyone.

SOB

Ok, you're official a smacking idiot, here's why.

It's all about force projection.  The RUssians have at best what forces they can move into position by sea up until such point as NATO, by which I mean, the US navy asserts ownership of the entire Mediterranean. We can do this any time we want simply by virtue of having the world's largest Air Force, the world's largest Navy, and the world's second largest Air Force (which coincidentally happens to be our navy). If it came to a purely conventional shooting match we could steam a trio of carrier Battle Groups into the Med and we'd have the largest air strike capability in range of Syria outside of strategic bombers.

Sure, the Russians have the "carrier" Admiral Kuznetsov, but her air group is all of 48 fixed wing combat aircraft.  Meanwhile just one of our Nimitz-class boats has twice that number of fixed wing assets plus AWACS, Aerial Refueling, and EWAR aircraft.  The Russians have just one Admiral Kuznetsov boat (technically they built two, but they sold the Varyag to the Indians who sold it to the Chinese). We've got ten Nimitz-class boats in service and we've got two of the newer Gerald Ford-class carriers currently being built.

We could very easily tell the rest of NATO to just hold their dicks while we flatten ever government and military installation in Syria and there wouldn't be a single smacking thing the Russians could do about it without using nuclear weapons.

And that would be without increasing the FY2013 USDOD budget a bit. See, now that we've pulled out of Iraq and we're pulling out of Afghanistan we've got all these shiny toys and this f*ck-off huge military budget to justify.  It's the 1980s all over again, only this time the Russians don't have anything to come play with us with other than strategic nuclear weapons and we proved during the Reagan administrations that when it comes to high-stakes poker the Russians always blink first.

When it comes to warfare there's one thing you really need to keep in mind about the US military.  The entire reason why asymmetrical wars like Iraq and Afghanistan are such drains for us is because out force structure for the last 60 years was designed around a single mission...

Ball punching the Soviet Union.

Time will tell I guess.
At the end of the day this is a war that can be won with the press of a button so ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
That's why I take it seriously, and so should everyone else.
If you underestimate your enemy you have already lost.
