re: US sending tanks to Europe in response to Russia...

True for the most part, but they also possess a metric shite ton of tanks.

Also laughed at this because -- most Russian tanks are

1. Outdated.

2. Concentrated in one area.

3. Suffering mechanical failures.

They're much like China -- they produce one technological wonder and so everyone thinks every thing they have is exactly as that one is when in reality it makes up almost nothing of their fleets or divisions.

More tanks.

More aircraft.

Better aircraft.

Better Navy.

Better technology.

More resources.

More combat veterans (way more).

More allies.

Russia lllllloves the 1970's and so they know if they get a reaction they will keep up with this macho posturing bullshite.

The reason I react to this conversation so much is because I have a bunch of frickin' idiot friends who adore Russia, or at the very least are enamored with them.
