Title: WW3? Post by PoliticalPuppet on Jun 18th, 2012 at 12:01pm
Russia has moved ground forces and naval fleets into Syria to defend her, assuming they would have air force in as well.
The West is slowly progressing to a full blown invasion... What do you think will happen? Here are the links for a little idea of what Russia is doing, I am sure I do not need to supply links to tell you what the west is planing: EXTRAORDINARY: Strong Russian ground forces moved in Syria http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.defencenet.gr%2Fdefence%2Findex.php%3Foption%3Dcom_content%26task%3Dview%26id%3D44901%26Itemid%3D139 Quote:

You and Puppet are more interested trying to blame the West for some supposed WW III rather than any concern for the Syrian people. You are hypocrites.

If you believe that the Russians are willing to risk a direct military confrontation with NATO over Syria then you're smoking the turbocrack. The most they'll do is cordon off their naval base at Tartus and otherwise stay the hell out things. They know as well as we do that conventionally we can clean their clock any time we want, but that's besides the point. Such a confrontation would go nuclear almost immediately and neither of us want that.

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. |

when it comes to high-stakes poker the Russians always blink first.
They have more brains than you guys that's why. Dropping the bombs on Japan was such a great idea wasn't it? You're all talk and no substance, and like someone else said, sh1t broke, and going down faster than a fat kid on a water slide. |

It was a BRILLIANT idea. One question you must ask is why didn't the stupid Nips surrender after the first? They had three days to do it. |

As much as what the Nazis did was a brilliant idea. Winning a war by destroying civilians is not winning but cheating and not something to be proud of. Its a shame that corrupt leaders and puppeteers give a bad name to our brave soldiers. angeleyes wrote on Jun 19th, 2012 at 9:47am:

OK HC. You said...."are you going to face the facts? " So i say "OK, i will face the facts" So far your 1 fact is many will die if the West invades. As there is no invasion, we are just talking hypothetically. So what is the next "fact" to face? |

Oh... So much for figure(s) of speach. Well the other fact I have stated in this thread is that currently the Syrian government/army is innocent until proven guilty because there is no legitimate evidence to back up the Wests claims. |

Innocent until proven guilty and people will die if there is an invasion. OK, agreed. So, what’s the next fact? So far it’s all been a bit banal really. |
Title: Re: WW3? Post by PoliticalPuppet on Jun 19th, 2012 at 10:37am Quote:
Banal? Probably not if it was your life on the line I am guessing. We are letting a psychopathic body of corrupt individuals possibly push us into ww3 where millions if not billions of people could die. I know you like to stick to the right or whatever but this has nothing to do with sides, both bleed blood just the same. |

What? Again I agreed with your “facts”. Banal was a reference to your “facts” – people die in invasions and you should be innocent until proven guilty. I mean that’s hard-hitting stuff man. ::) And the next bit is just hypothetical, hysteric rambling. It just won’t do Half Cocked. |

Hence why I stress the fact that CONVENTIONALLY the US can curbstomp Russia. Problem is that Russia is a nuclear power, and the fun benefits of being a nuclear power is that 1. you can't get your ass kicked by another nuclear power, and 2. you no longer have to ever worry about a nation invading you. There's an old saying in my line of work that applies here. "One flies, they all fly." Meaning is that once a single nuclear weapon is used all sides involved that have them will use them. If you don't believe me, just ask and I'll explain why. bobbythefap1 wrote on Jun 19th, 2012 at 9:36am:
I take this sort of thing seriously as well. The last sixty years or so bears out my claim that the Russians will not get involved in a conflict in Syria other than to secure their naval base simply because they have nuclear weapons and NATO has them. We've sent six decades or so doing our level damnedest to not get into a confrontation that we both knew would go nuclear, so why would we start now? |
Title: Re: WW3? Post by PoliticalPuppet on Jun 19th, 2012 at 5:11pm
Even in conventional methods they are pretty much the same. Both have negatives and positives, whats assured is that many would die on both sides so that is a loss for both sides.
Russia and almost all countries are very ignorant if they do not get/keep their hands on nukes. Russia is a sleeping giant, they do not go out and look for trouble as much as the US. But its the silent ones you should be most weary of. An idiot will jump like a bull at a gate for the smallest thing, A smart person will bide their time and only react in serious situations. There is a common misconception in the west that we are militarily superior and that is pretty dumb considering we haven't really seen China and Russia in full action since the 40's. It seems fairly clear to me that it is bound to happen eventually. We are happy to let things start small without thinking about where they may lead. |

Russia's military isn't even a shadow of what it was under the USSR. They don't have anywhere near the naval assets to contest the US Navy, their Air Force is kind of a joke now, and they're army is still a pack of poorly trained conscripts. Conventionally we'd have an easy time of it. Sure, we'd take some losses, but the k/d ratio would be so hilariously skewed in our favor it resemble clubbing baby harp seals. If you'd like I can take the time to give you a full order of battle for our military and theirs so you can see the massive disparity of forces here. bobbythefap1 wrote on Jun 19th, 2012 at 5:11pm:
The last thing the world needs is more nuclear armed nations. The more nations that have them the greater the likelihood that an irrational state actor will get them and use them. bobbythefap1 wrote on Jun 19th, 2012 at 5:11pm:
They don't go looking for trouble because they can't afford to do it. Their economy is seriously jacked up. bobbythefap1 wrote on Jun 19th, 2012 at 5:11pm:
It's not a misconception. We really are that much more capable than either Russia or China militarily. Neither country has the ability to project military power outside of their region, and even then only on land. bobbythefap1 wrote on Jun 19th, 2012 at 5:11pm:
Yeah, the history of the Cold War says you're wrong here. We all go to great lengths to not get into direct conflicts with each other simply because we all have nuclear weapons. |
