How do I think it would go in a conventional war



Today I break down a possible theoretical conflict between Russia and the USA. This is entirely theoretical, and I do not condone a conflict between these countries. I also forego the possibility of nuclear weapons and just compare them militarily. I try to use as many historical references to back my theory. Please let me know what you think.

  1. Can't disagree. The world is over if nukes get used so I truly believe it will never come to that. Russia also has multiple layers of AD. SA-6, SA-8, SA-19, S-300/400/500 and the Pantsir.

  2. Based on my experience with Libya (I was at a RAF base in the UK in 1986), and my deployment to Saudi Arabia in 1990 for Desert Shield/Desert Storm, I would say it’s a good overview of what probably would play out if it’s a conventional campaign. Great breakdown!

  3. I’ve been saying we would body russia in a conventional war. We have so much budget and so many advanced weapons systems due to capitalism and a big one I’ve been saying that I’m glad you’ve mentioned is our ability to amass the whole hate of the US military ANYWHERE. Ukraine (whether you agree with it or not) is a great example of how just our simple funding and equipment can fend off the “big scary” Russia in a minor country such as Ukraine.

  4. When the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) heard about the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on 9/11 the without orders did an about face and LEFT it's Task Force behind to get in Aircraft Range of Afghanistan to hit the Taliban. And they were only 2 DAYS After they were Originally Scheduled to get Home …. Our Carriers can Hit Anything they Want WhenEver they Want.

  5. I pray it never got to that point but it be so amazing seeing the faces of the Ukrainian people as the US just comes from behind and stomps Russia.. Like I said I don't hope for war but that would be moving.
