Kids definitely don't understand like you. Show a top military officer and he or she will teach you alot. If you think NATO is not prepared then you are fool. Russia won't hesitate to attack NATO if what the general said if literally true. Do you know US (NATO) and Russia is govern by the principle of mutual assured destruction? There are many things you need to understand. afube: |

Awesometouch1:Really? I should give you a documentation to it? You did not see screenshot or read up yourself! Oga there is no difference, it was an outright aerial invasion without UN Security Council approval. And yes, the entire alliance went on an aerial invasion with Spain launching the very first strikes. Also, yes, you cannot water it down, it took all of them 78days to bomb Serbia into submission, that is, 2 months, 3 weeks. Small tiny Serbia ooo, no assistance, no one sending volunteer fighters and jets and armament. The biggest shocker was that the almighty proven stealth F117 was shot down disgracefully. Maybe by your logic we should say Russia is not yet at war in Ukraine because it only sent 150k army instead of all its 900k. When did a bombing raid by the air force of 15 countries not qualify as a war of aggression/illegal invasion ? War is war, wether by air, land or sea, or a combination of all 3. Moreso when it is an aerial invasion by a superior combination of a 15nation alliance, tagged its second major military operation as an alliance. I stand by my assertions, the person I quoted is not intelligent and I won’t respond to him again because he talks without facts, or do you agree with his baseless points? 2 Likes 1 Share

princeeze1:My friend, there was no known war between NATO and Serbia. You are misinterpreting things. No one goes to war by air raid alone without getting defeated. YOU CAN BOMB A COUNTRY FROM NOW TILL ETERNITY, WASTING EVERY THING IN YOUR ARSENAL, WITHOUT ACHIEVING YOUR PURPOSE. That they achieved their purpose within just 78 days is not only surprising but a great feat. What NATO did in the case of Serbia is what they did in Libya. It wasn't a war between Libya and NATO. Air raids are meant to weaken, to soften your enemy for a possible ground offensive and it doesn't go beyond that Is it supposed to be such a big deal a stealth fighter was shot down? Only 1 in 78days. That only shows the fighter lived up to it's name. I think there is a difference between stealth and invisibility and by extension invincibility. When you come to the issue of Russia and Ukraine that's exactly where you began to sound unintelligent. That is a full scale war by land, sea, and air and everywhere it's been documented as war!. In your thinking it has to be called a war if only Russia went in with its 900k army!! REALLY?? By the way, that 150k soldiers account for almost 80% of combatants in the Russian army. Experts even put it at 85%. I'm only being reserved here. You need to understand the bulk of a Nation's army are non combatants. 1 Like |

Awesometouch1:You can tell lies all you want but I will expose your lies. What NATO did in Libya is called “airspace closure” and not a bombing campaign and it was authorized by the UNSC. Don’t get it twisted, what they did in Serbia was a bombing campaign to force Serbia into retreat and agreement to terms of ceasefire. While they were even bombing non stop from air, their military advisers(soldiers) were working on ground with Kosovo. When does a bombing campaign and airspace closure mean same thing? You go to war by means of air, land or sea or a combination of all or some. See how you shamelessly said 2months and 3weeks for a then 15member coalition is a feat. Read online and find out NATO’s campaign was already tagged a failure by the 2nd month. Mind you, Serbia was unassisted ooo. It was even an embarrassing outing for the US due to a loss of a stealth F117, this led to its retirement. Lastly, I won’t even debate this with you, I will just disgrace you with the screenshots below as proof. Oga, Russia has 900k to 1m active combat troops and a reserve force of 2m. The US has 1.3m active troops and over 700k reserves. So the 150k is just a tiny fraction of its force and not 85% of its force as you have lied. Can’t you even research before you respond? Google what an airspace closure is before you respond again. First shot-Russia Second- US 1 Like

princeeze1:What a shame. I even thought you have small sense self. Only morons like you will be confusing ACTIVE PERSONNEL figures with combatants. The bulk of any military is made up of mostly non combatant PERSONNEL including cleaners, engineers, medical and technical staff, cooks, and so many others. In your Stupidity you keep sharing screenshots of figures you don't understand. So Russia has 900k active combatants yet they are bringing in almost 20,000 mercenaries from Syria and Africa to help them fight? Only imbeciles like you will come here to say it was only airspace closure that NATO did in Libya. So Gaddafi was defeated by the rebels simply because of airspace closure? What a crap! How am I sure you are not even drunk? Libya's military were already at the outskirts of Benghazi and at the brink of defeating the rebels before the air raids began and continued till the defeat of Gaddaffi. Only idiots like you don't know about that. My only advice to such a dumb ass like you is to get on the military niche of Quora and learn from top military experts from around the world so they can at least reduce your level of arrant ignorance! Finally, no where in the world is there any documentation of a NATO-Serbia war except in your pathetically empty head. |

Russia has sarmat icbm for each usa cities and so each for European cities with enough nuclear warheads to destroy everything mutually, sarmat icbm is unstoppable and too heavy and fast. Only the usa has considerable amount of nuclear warheads combination of all the west nuclear warheads is not up to what Russia has in stock and ready to be deployed if threatened. Most usa and Europe at large didn't possess kind of air defense system Russia got. They are one of the most secured and impossible to invade on the world. Forget what is happening in Ukraine. Russian didn't fight war there rather military operations as they said and their army also unwilling to fight their Slava brother ad they were almost all related. If Russia should fight Europe, usa or other, then you will understand their might. Don't be carried away with Ukraine war they and not taking it that serious. Nato knows that very well. 2 Likes 1 Share |

princeeze1: The level at which you display your ignorance is not surprising given that your level of education may not be adequate enough to use basic information to analyze complex scenarios. Your Copy and paste shows you are not educable and trainable. I could bring up other copy and paste to counteract your claims. But I won't condescend to that level where you fail to use your cognitive functions as expected. MAD doesn't validate non existence to life after nuclear war. It's a phrase used in explaining the degree of destruction or aftermath of nuclear war. Intellectual capacity is not displaying copy and paste and asking another to challenge it with copy and paste. Your Russia cannot wipe out US and Europe. Rather US and Europe are more likely to wipe out Russia. You don't expect me to give you the reason. And if you do, then it further validates my impression of you. Regardless of nuclear war head, icbm bla bla bla and all the trash you spewing everywhere. I don't need any edumacation from someone who is wallowing in ignorance, who can't use common sense and thinks highly of himself as smart when your text says opposite. Stop quoting quora or using copy and paste to engage in intellectual convo. Use your brain. That's why you have one. 1 Like |

Topmaike007: I can see that you lack basic reasoning capabilities. Ask yourself why Russia is against US having military base at it's borders? Apply the simple Logic to your weak response. That should enlighten you better. And if you still need me to explain it further, then that will really confirm my impression of you as someone who is incorrigible. |

Kingsnairaland: Let me guess ..You seem to have a myopic way of reasoning. I know definitely well that is how far you can reason. Not surprised though. Your Russia is afraid of US and NATO military bases at its border. Ask yourself why? Now in a situation of nuclear war, Your Russia will be overwhelmed with nukes coming from over 30 countries. Those countries are just within reach of your Russia either by land or sea. Don't ask me how. Before your nuclear war head gets to US, Russia may already seize to exist due to its proximity to US and Nato nuclear war ships already at its border not to talk about those nukes that will be going into Russia from military bases such as Romania, Poland and others. You can figure out what that will look like in real life scenario. Summary: That's if you can comprehend. Having your enemies at your door step with nuclear weapons and you planning to attack over 30 countries that have their nuclear war heads pointing to your Russia. I guess you don't need soothsayer to tell you who gets wiped out first and if you do, you may need to have your brain examined. |

MrDebonair: You should cover your head in a big shame! Every discerning mind clearly sees that my write up are apt, clear and concise. If you claim it was plagiarism, you should have been able to provide links from where it was copied. If you were half as intelligent you would have provided a counter proof. Why should I expect much from you who has very low intellectual acumen. You think by coming to throw tantrums when an intellectual discourse is on, it makes you sound smart? Funny enough most of you little children here can’t keep a discourse for long! You know why? Because you lack capacity, so you quickly degenerate to tantrums. What is so difficult in backing up your claims? You think everyone is daft and swallows propaganda? Of course you do not know that he who asserts must prove. I gave you 2 screenshots not quotes from both quota and popularmechanics which supports my articulation that nuclear war is unwinnable by either party, since you claim the US has survival capacity, write your article to support your claim and back it up with either links or screenshots. Of course you can’t. Why should I expect you to give me reasons, when I know you have none. And when did your personal opinion without proof become a yardstick. Even the US does not agree with your assertions. Of course a lack of education makes it impossible for you to tell the difference between an article and one referenced from another source. And your little brain offered nothing comprehension other than a childish emotional charged rant. I have nothing else to say to you. I rest my case with you! https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a39227264/what-nuclear-war-between-the-us-and-russia-could-look-like/ 1 Like |
