So, all this talk of our military and Russia's...have they gotten better or have we gotten worse or what is going on? Was our military in a better position to fight the Russians around the time of the first gulf war and over time we have just become complacent?
with all the feel good PC bullshit going on in the us military the last 20yrs, I give the edge to the russian soldier, they have pride in their country. they have not been told by their so called leaders and educators how terrible their country is. the only weakness is command and control, in the past anyways, subordinates were not allowed to improvise, adjust

The ROE makes all the difference.
But the bottom line is that MAD is still a thing. Neither military can really be unleashed.
As a strictly military matter, the answer is we can remove all of them from the planet in half an hour.
They can certainly do a lot of damage to us at the same time.
I have no doubt that US political leaders would set ROE from clown world that would give Russia a serious advantage.
I also have no doubt that with competent leadership we would mop the floor with them. I'm not saying we wouldn't get bloody, but even in their backyard we would win if Washington allows it.
I am sure their soldiers are top notch, and they would be able to put more bodies in theater than we would. Especially if we need to keep half of them in the Pacific as a check on China's ambitions over there. But force multipliers are just what they sound like, and we have a lot of them.
Of course, it's never wise to "get involved in a land war in Asia", but we would not be attempting an invasion, so a lot of the pitfalls there might not happen.

In addition we piss away that money and out equipment. I’ll bet the Russians don’t because of they did whoever was in charge of said expenditure would be dead.

They got a whole lot better since 91 and the break up of the Soviet union. Thats not shitting on our forces at all, its just that they stepped up thier game. They learned a lot about Western warfare first hand . They had decades to study the weapons and tactics and decided where they needed to improve . Dont think they didnt notice what happened in the first and second gulf wars . with armys usung thier weapon systems .
Thier doctrine has always called for the overwhelming use of artillery fire. It can shred any elite fighting force.
Do I think the US troops and doctrine are better? Yes I do. but they are a close second in a lot of things. and thier fighting sprit is exceptional .

So he’s essentially said it’s ok and we will look the other way and put Putin on a pedestal. Great just want Putin needs is his ego stroked.Biden Warns Russia Invading Ukraine Could ‘Change the World’: Would Be ‘The Largest Invasion Since World War II’

I'm seeing a lot more siding with Americas enemies these days, in forums like this one. Not outright treasonous language, but a definite tongue-in-cheek, wink-wink, "gonna drill that third hole in this receiver soon" sort of discourse is pervasive in right-wing, pro-gun forums lately.
To clarify, I don't see folks saying they are for Russia and China so much as saying they yearn for the day our country collapses into anarchy. As though it's the first step to something better, and not an invitation to foreign enemies and a balkanized, Syria-esque future for North America.

Right wing? How about just wanting to follow the constitution. Go buy a more narrow brush. C'mon man. You appear smart enough to understand the difference between calling for the country to collapse into anarchy and the real purpose behind the comments. Sometimes you have to get bad enough for people to wake up and call out the bullshit this administration and others like it implement and say, "No more." You just keep thinking what ever you want though.

You need to be reminded we are not at war with Russia. The word ENEMY doesn't apply. I never hear them calling us enemies. Enemies don't smile and shake hands, like Blinken and Lavrov.
How arrogant to label any country that stands up to us AN ENEMY.
I think it is rather funny how so many words in our vocabulary has changed over the years.
The word Enemy is being tossed out there like people actually understand the meaning.
Russia and the Russian people are far from an enemy of these Once United States.
Some are trying to change the narrative in order to create a bogey man that is not there.
Russia is not the enemy, but Biden and the Mutt are trying really hard to change that.

I watch the news from Europe and they describe Putin as a Crime Boss working with the Russian Oligarchs.
Now we have a guy that goes by many names, Brandon, The Big Guy or just Biden. Some would say the head of a Crime Family
Are going to war over two crime bosses flexing muscles.

They need to create an enemy for people to rally against before too many of the people figure out who the real enemy is.
Correct. He is a true Nationalist. Being a true Nationalist is not a bad thing, ever.
My County is far important to me than any other Nation. Imagine if all in America actually served their Nation....
Putin also addresses world problems, but with wisdom and sophistication, showing respect for other cultures, their history and concerns.

As much as I have always had negative waves on Putin, as of late, Putin makes Brandon look like a complete idiot.
Brandon had his chance at turning the country around and he failed miserably. Don't tell me he was put in a bad situation. If he was a sophisticated leader even like someone Putin, things would be a lot different.
Brandon just needs to admit, he's not fit to run the country -- in many ways.

Then I wouldn’t want to be living where people weren’t living in 1880. Like where a/c is needed to live.
