Funny how the NATO sissies are so confident when they are faced with a force that will demolish them in days.
If you are talking from a purely conventional armed standoff, the U.S. would be dominant on the battlefield. I don’t say that because I am a U.S. citizen either. Even Russia’s own military planners are under no illusion that they could ever win an outright conventional war against the U.S. and NATO. The hypothetical scenarios will never happen. If things got to that stage, Russia would consider that a threat to their security and sovereignty and resort to their vast nuclear arsenal in self defense and preservation. I don’t understand why people have all these romantic notions about war. Nobody wins in war.
