I have a question for you, and I'm very interested in your opinion. Do you think that if Russia attacks a European country (except Ukraine), will Russia be able to invade it, and if so, how long will it take (in this scenario, we assume that NATO will not intervene)?
>>526268381>in this scenario, we assume that NATO will not interveneThey invade Monaco and their 2 week special needs operation still somehow becomes a 10 year one
>>526268382This. And we must keep in mind half of the population in Monaco is Russian.
Tech inferiority means they can't blitzkrieg anyone the way they would like to but I think they win a protracted 1v1 against anyone now. The hardest would be Poland I'd say because of mobilisation potential, West Europeans are too unwilling to fight and would run into manpower issues very quickly.
>>526268382If they hadn't bungled Hostomel airport, that two week operation would have been fact. Its that one airport which caused this protracted war.
>>526268384NATO is also a byzantine nightmare. Article 5 doesn't even ensure collective defense in reality, NATO's production has been entirely captured by the MIC and proprietary bullshit which means they can't even produce more than 18k firable shells a month while Russia cranks out 250,000.One of the biggest ironies of NATO is most Eastern Bloc countries were actually far more militarily powerful as part of the Eastern Bloc in terms of production, hardware and manpower.
>>526268381EU (Fourth Reich) will get conquered.
>>526268381Well it really depends what country we are talking about. I'm fairly confident none of the Baltic states would survive a Russian lightning attack. Too small, too paltry, leashed chihuahua complex.Poland? It probably could invade but the conflict would drag for very long, Kaliningrad supply issues. No idea abt Finland, but likely much like Poland but with more Naval warfare.
>>526268388I theory it could Nuke London and flatter Trump into not letting them use their retailiation capability. But that's more of a meme Scenario.
>>526268386Well it certainly has made Finnish defenses stronger. We would always rely on Sweden the most, and that includes the other Nordic countries too. As of now, Sweden is preparing to take defense of northern Finland on its shoulders, something that didn't exist before us joining. That's the most critical weakness for our defenses if we are alone.
