Though this gentleman - Phillip Karber - deserves all possible respects as a former marine and then analyst, this presentation is a mix of absurd (major part) and truth (minor part).Very good to learn that the absurd part is being sold so good across the military folks. The farther they are from reality, the better ;)

Well it's thought very bad form in Europe to invade your neighbours........ and, TBH, history suggests it doesn't really work
The USA ?? Maybe not so.................. Technical capabilities? No-one with any sense has ever underestimated Soviet/Russian capabilities... but there really isn't a lot of cash behind them .... rolling them out in quantity is tough when people have a vote |
OOOHHH. Watch out for the Russians.
They're your biggest threat? Please |

Doing Soviet history at university we were told that in the 70 odd years of its existence the USSR had invaded the territory of every one of its neighbours. Putin's got a long way to go but he has made a start.

Strictly speaking we dont have any neighbours other than the Republic of Ireland and I don't think we have ever invaded them.

It's not RT, it's The Telegraph ;) : https://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/...uxembourg.html And so what? The key point is interpretation of the word "invasion".USSR, Britain and US invaded Germany in 1944, was it for bad or for good? USSR invaded a part of China in 1945 to take away the Japanese.
