Just a thought about NATO forces in eastern europe..
the only thing US has against russia is the nuclear threat. US will never be able to mass troops in the area, nothing comparable to operations in iraq... which necessitated a huge and long deployment to a NEIGHBOUR country (saudi), while iraqis could watch it and did nothing about it... Russia will never let this be. So US can only deploy very small troops, like the 20 abrams in latvia (wow so impressive
) and the 30 odd in germany... It's just publicity stunt, self contemplation...
We have all witnessed the reality of the war in ukraine, the sole war to date in europe with massive conventional warfare since WW2... Intel and artillery simply played the key roles and won battles, and russia emphazises pretty much all on its artillery (be it MLRS, tubes or missiles), and all russian units have an integrated recon unit, and many whole units are even dedicated to intel and infiltration in russian army...
Seing what "outdated" artillery from the rebels have done to fortified positions, bases, and armoured vechicles of all kinds of the Ukr army, simply with dumb high explosive rounds... I can see a "war vs NATO" in eastern europe being very bad for "NATO" considering russian artillery capabilities, and the counter attack shock force of tanks and mechanised infantry.... Russian artillery will be able to use extended range, guided, and cluster ammunitions at the will, not only dumb HE rounds...
Overall NATO air forces will be the sole real power, but they have 0 chance vs russian air defenses (just look what ukr airforce endured vs low density and badly manned AA defences of novorussia, pretty much all combat capable Ukr aircrafts were writen off), and won't be able to strike the russian units on the ground.... So the only real threat, is nuclear, it has always been, but it's far worse (for NATO) now than during the cold war, since all european armies skrinked by 75% and US/UK /FR forces left the area (just remaining a fanfar force for parades and pretty media displays)
Leading NATO army will be Poland, with the largest army, artillery and tank force in the whole europe (only speaking feasable things in eastern europe, not mobilizing forces from germany/fr/uk who have no interest in this).... Maybe romania, CZ, and baltics will be able to mobilize a significant force, all that "helped" by the microscopic US/UK forces in eastern europe... well... in fact, the sole belarus army (helped by russian advisors and specialized units, belarus being the core of the force, tanks, arti, infantry) would easily wipe out this "NATO" conglomeration....
So here is the bottom line, david cameron, and other russophobic cunts in the US, PL, and whatever, openly talking of "war against putin" and all that jazz... better think twice. NATO sole chance is US nukes, as always been and is even more true now than during the cold war. Playing the game "fair", the NATO have 0 chances against russia-belarus-novorussia.
