The Russians will run out of ammo , fuel and supplies in less time than that . Been that way since the beginning.
You think the Russians will run out of Ammo, Fuel and Supplies in 60hrs when performing a military advance on a neighbor?
Yeah . But the entire defensive strategy of Nato is to delay . The Russians will run out of ammo , fuel and supplies in less time than that . Been that way since the beginning.
Oh , wait , you had 60 hours..NO FREAKIN WAY

I dont worry if you dont take me seriously.
Nor should you. That was out of line by me, and I apologize.
I worry that you think you can play out your apponents hand against yours like you know exactly what cards are in play or up the others sleeve. Seems foolish.
That's exactly what the Rand Corp is doing, isn't it? Or any other "think tank".
Of course that's what I'm doing. I take the available information, process it in my wee little brain, and see what comes out. Every simulation I've ever seen, that doesn't involve WoMD of some sort, Russia/Soviet Union makes inroads into Europe...those almost always involved Germany...now it's the Baltic region, and Poland, and other former Soviet Block nations who have little love for this new style Russian Bear, and their attitudes reflect that.
For anyone, regardless of who it is, to even remotely think that Nato, and its allies would be overrun within two to three days is in the same dream world you seem to think I'm in.
It's not just about numbers of tanks, airplanes, or any other weapon systems, though that does play a part, of course. They are neglecting the human aspect of this. The Baltic states/Poland have all been pawns in these games for hundreds of years and have had enough of it. Yes, the Russians may overwhelm them, but it won't be in sixty hours, or even sixty days...and by the time they do? Germany, France, Great Britain, and the US, will all be there.
China will not do anything in a European war. They are not a global power...yet. Their power projection capabilities are regional at best. Non-factor

The time is 4 months. That is the estimate of supplies the Russian's have.No not 60 hrs nor 60 days.The Russians would have 4 months to take over all Western Europe. How long did the Western Front go on in WW2 ? Now , NATO's strategy is not to overcome. The strategy is drag out the war past this 4 month period. Easily done..(i.e. bend , but dont break)
And the Russians no longer have their coalition of Soviet States (i.e. which may mean they may not even have that 4 month preiod now .)
It has been conjectured (even today) that in a case of Russian aggression in the west ,the Chinese would take advantage and come across and at least take Siberia . SO , then you would have the Russian's fighting on 2 fronts. However , since it would take all they have on the Western Front , could they spare to turn around and have to go back ? Or just give up eastern Russia to the Chinese?
Thats the problem with "folks" that make such rat crap predictions . No one knows for sure. Too many possibilities and unknowns.

Russia couldnt hold Europe and they know that which makes anything unlikely. But they would crush their army without the usa

I doubt either really wants to see what will REALLY happen but IMO Russia is the least affraid of it.

So you are saying Rand doesn't have the info you do? They didn't think of any of this? They didn't do military modelling and run the scenarios? Iean I find it hard to believe myself but I also don't have nearly the logistical info Rand does as a contractor.

A good reply. Though I wish you hadnt put that first statement in. No one said that info came from me. I get my information from reading books on different subjects. Not from you-tube videos or obscure articles posted somewhere from someone .
The military stopped using Rand in the late 80s for their think-tank work at the Pentagon. There was a reason for that.
