Trump was partially involved with that as well.

If anyone is wondering, yes, we kicked their asses and sustained no casualties or wounded.

Technically, the EU can survive an eventual war with Russia even if the US doesn't really back us up, Poland, Belarus, the Baltic countries, Ukraine and eventually perhaps Finland will most likely be sacrificed by Western EU however for this to happen. Russia aint dumb enough to try to win a war with whole Europe at once. Several countries, such as for example Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria(?) in EU will either not fight at all for EU or may even side with Russia and this will further discourage Western EU to go to war. Russia's influence over EU in that situation would be huge and I doubt the US will just lay back tbh

Russia was siding with Assad in order to fight ISIS, otherwise ISIS would have taken complete control over Syria

russia isn't even that big of threat, i don't know why the conversation is centered around it

not that big of a threat when it comes to raw military strength

Russia would kick any European Nation's ass who tried to conventionally fight it.

really, what does it have really?

but they have a lot of strategical influence and eventual allies

Well, Europe for one, especially the United Kingdom has been decreasing its Military Strength significantly.

just raw numbers or equipments and tech as well?

They don't see war as a thing they must prepare for.

USA's main forces are in USA mainland and dispatching all of them will require time

Numbers, specifically. They believe their current technology in smaller numbers is just as effective as the same equipment in larger numbers.

the thing is large scaled war is a thing of the past. It's mostly cyberwar and puppets

while Russia is just knocking on EU's door

The National Guard is on the U.S. Mainland.

With a decent amount of Active Duty stationed there, but not awfully many.

The United Kingdom for one example is starting to get rid of most of their tanks.

Active Duty Troops are 9/10 out and about.

@Deleted User that's actually true to be fair, I dont think that the leaders of any of the major countries that can cause a domino effect and lead to WW3 is dumb enough to do it

but there's always the chance of some sort of escalation

World War III isn't that likely for the next few years.

i have a generally negative view of europeans because of i commonly see them complain about things they probably know nothing about

However, I'd say that a war with Iran might be.

Same, Filthy.

Americans mainly only really care about their Military Capabilities, if we try to learn more, we will and we try to get it right.

Europeans see anything about America and then generalize it.

It's the most annoying thing to talk with them about.

That's why it's relieving to see Europeans who actually have some sense in them.

I judge a coutry by it's actions

and by the outcome of the actions

What's your favorite country, in your honest opinion?

Yours too, Filthy.

Switzerland

Australia

Sweet. Why?

why australia?

What are your favorite things about it?

I think it's been clear what mine is. Lmfao

Kangaroos, the ton of deadly animals, the nice hot temperatures during the whole year, the beaches, surfing & the coral reef
