Desu Putin has made insane upgrades to the Russian military all branches, in the past decade. It is legit modern global power now.

Western propaganda doesn't want you to understand that, but take the fucking red pill already.

Russia IS incredibly strong. I feel the only reason Russia and USA are rattling sabers after the end of the Cold War is the simple fact that there's no one else to bicker with around. The top dogs bark at each other.

Its large by numbers, but it mostly exists on the arms subsidies from the EU (like everything else in Poland).

Still nowhere close to germany due to population and technology being way behind.

"The military forces are tired," Bartels remarked in an interview with the German newspaper Handelsblatt on Wednesday, a day after he released a report that depicted Germany's military as small, demoralized, and struggling to fulfill missions with malfunctioning equipment. "There are too many things missing."

Michael Moran, a managing director at the Control Risks security consultancy in New York, was unsurprised by Bartels's pronouncement. After the country's defeat in World War II, Germans felt ashamed of their role in the bloodshed and in the genocide of the Holocaust, and adopted a pacifist stance. Germany controversially rearmed during the Cold War, but only with the goal of defending against a Soviet attack. Since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country has deliberately avoided reviving its once-vaunted military.

"They've never gone down the road to creating a warrior class," Moran said. "It's a very touchy topic."

Still, the parliamentary ombudsman's report contains shocking data about a country whose military preparedness has long caused concern among statesmen.

"For centuries, our main worry in Poland was a very strong German army," former Polish Defense Minsiter Janusz Onyszkiewicz told Foreign Affairs recently. "Today, we're seriously worried about German armed forces that are too weak."

Lol, no, guys. Do you think that we are so pathetic idiots that we are trying to hitch ourselves to Yuropian culture to assert ourselves on the basis of membership of a successful group? No thanks. We are a self-sufficient nation with thousands of years of great history.
It is not we are interested in to cling ourselves to Yuropean culture and it is Yurope interested in to speak about the Russian culture as a European.
If we are Asians, please delete from the European culture of all our writers, scientist, and composers (hello, Ayn Rand). Remember - this is the Asian culture.
Please note that all the greatest military leaders of European nations (Karl 12, Napoleon, Hitler) were smashed by Asians.
Please remember that the first representative of the human species, who performed the original dream of all mankind, first entered the expanses of original space was Asian, and that is an achievement of Asian culture, and not European.

Every time you Euro fucks bring up Vietnam and think America got booted, I have to re-educate you on the definition of warfare.

You win if you kill the enemy.

No, the Viets did not win a war in which we ravaged their homeland, killed 1 million of their countrymen, occupied their airspace and waters, and sprayed their populations with chemical fertilizer. No, they didn't have some "military objective" like this was a fucking RTS or something and you had to conquer this base or capture this general to win. We basically entered a foreign country, fucked it up for almost 20 years and made it ours, then when we got tired and hippies back home started yelling at us, we left.

There was literally no scenario in which America would have lost the war, militarily, financially, any way. You play too much Command and Conquer and think if you don't capture this base and convert the citizens, you lose. Our mission in Vietnam was an attrition war. We wore down the VC and the NVA to the point that they had '40s radios to communicate with each other from mud tunnels. Then your friend China decided to help the Soviets launder money and equipment to them.

You wanna know how I know we won? Look around in Vietnam today. People on the streets selling lighters that American GIs dropped, in a """communist""" country that supposedly """resisted""" American influence.

The Paris peace accords signed in 1973 stopped pretty much all involvement of the US supporting south vietnam with airstrikes and ground troops (operation linebacker 2 was the last time the US really bombed the shit of the north vietnamese) The war was pretty much over. Nixon also signed an agreement with a south stating any plane that were to be shotdown by the north, A brand new one would come in the next day. Any magazine lost in a firefight, the US would supply a brand new one. This what was keeping the South from being completely destroyed by northern aggression. It wasnt until 1974, when Nixon was impeached, did the North move back into the South. Congress took all the defense budget of south vietnam and put it into programs in the US (Public housing, healthcare, all that liberal hippie shit). President Ford actually had to almost beg congress to Keep the US word on protecting South Vietnam, but since congress was a liberal cesspool, they overturned it. It took less than a year for the south to fall to communism, All because Nixon got impeached and congress didnt keep the US word on protecting it.

Let me simplify.

Like I said, you look at this like it's an RTS game. You would be a fool if you thought the US came into Vietnam with a "military objective" like "take over that NVA communist base in Hanoi." There was much more nuance and not just one, but multiple military objectives which we achieved. We bombed and destroyed the supply lines we wanted to. We killed the enemy forces so they presented little more than a guerilla threat. We took back Hue City when they overran it with all their might.

We did not enter the war with the military objective of taking over North Vietnam, which we could've done in less than a week were it not for the USSR and China. This is not Command and Conquer. There were multiple nations involved in this conflict and no clear goal of "lel we gotta stop the communizms"

>you look at this like it's an RTS game
No I don't, I look at this like reality that matters beyond your nonsensical shouting.
No one goes to war without wanting to accomplish something, thats how it works.
If you fight someone, you try to get something out of it. The U.S. went into that fight trying to keep the North from conquering the South, and North Vietnam went into this trying to conquer the South.
At the end the North conquered the South, thats winning. Whatever they had to ednure or what it cost them is utterly irrelevant to the fact that they got what they wanted and you got nothing.

>>81407327
>We did not enter the war with the military objective of taking over North Vietnam
That is correct, you didn't, you went into it to keep the North from conquering the South, which you failed at.

You can keep trying to call military objectives a "RTS thing" but that does nothing but reveal how you know absolutely nothing about warfare.
Countries go to war because they want to achieve something, that is the military objective, you will always have one. Its literally just a term for a innate thing of warfare.

You threw bilions of dollar worth in material and tens thousands of lives into this conflict and you got nothing out of it. Absolutely no benefit was achieved for the U.S. or its allies, you left that country with nothing to show for 20 years of war. Thats losing, and no amount of juvenile wankery about how many attricities you commited in the process of fighting this losing war will change that, deal with it.
>>
>>81407782
>That is correct, you didn't, you went into it to keep the North from conquering the South, which you failed at.

No we didn't. The entire time we where there and indeed for 2 years after we left South Vietnam was its own country.

Again see
>The Paris peace accords signed in 1973 stopped pretty much all involvement of the US supporting south vietnam with airstrikes and ground troops (operation linebacker 2 was the last time the US really bombed the shit of the north vietnamese) The war was pretty much over. Nixon also signed an agreement with a south stating any plane that were to be shotdown by the north, A brand new one would come in the next day. Any magazine lost in a firefight, the US would supply a brand new one. This what was keeping the South from being completely destroyed by northern aggression. It wasnt until 1974, when Nixon was impeached, did the North move back into the South. Congress took all the defense budget of south vietnam and put it into programs in the US (Public housing, healthcare, all that liberal hippie shit). President Ford actually had to almost beg congress to Keep the US word on protecting South Vietnam, but since congress was a liberal cesspool, they overturned it. It took less than a year for the south to fall to communism, All because Nixon got impeached and congress didnt keep the US word on protecting it.
>>
>>81403837
I'd say Russia. I feel like they probably have better organization and strategic advantages. Russia has been involved in more conflicts than China over the past few decades and would likely run into fewer issues getting their military ready for a large war. Not to mention China gets a lot of their equipment from Russia or knockoffs that function in a similar manner.

It would certainly be an interesting match up and largely dependent on how long the war last as China has so many more people they could afford to lose.

yeah kinda, One of our biggest strengths is our ability to project air power via aircraft carriers and quick response troops via Fleet Marine Force, but one of the US's biggest weakness's is Naval vulnerability
>primarily to mines and secondarily zerg rush enemy combatants (including anti ship missles)

if you're interested in modern warfare, look up Millennium Challenge 2002. It was a huge War Game designed to test the readiness of a major engagement with Iran in iranian waters. (likely scenario actually since minor engagements have happened before)
>Red, (iran), adopted an asymmetric strategy, in particular, using old methods to evade Blue's (USA) sophisticated electronic surveillance network.
>Red used motorcycle messengers to transmit orders to front-line troops and World-War-II-style light signals to launch airplanes without radio communications.
>Red received an ultimatum from Blue, essentially a surrender document, demanding a response within 24 hours.
>Thus warned of Blue's approach, Red could prepare.
>In a preemptive strike, Red launched a massive salvo of cruise missiles that overwhelmed the Blue forces' electronic sensors
>destroyed sixteen warships (one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five of six amphibious ships)
>in a real conflict would have resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel.
>After the cruise missile offensive, another significant portion of Blue's navy was "sunk" by an armada of small Red boats, which carried out both conventional and suicide attacks that capitalized on Blue's inability to detect them.

Basically it was proved that Iran could destroy the entire US armada in mere hours with fairly realistic tactics and circumstances. The wargame was reset the day after and scripted to ensure a Blue victory.

2. Hypersonic anti-ship missiles which you don't even have.

3. Ewar (shut down the entire hohol land last year)

4. Submarine torpedoes (literally 4 times faster than yours)

Finns look like Europeans today. Just usually when it comes to European nations is also important roots of these nations. The Slavs are a subsection of Indo-European culture and "came out of one pot" (as we say) with the Germans (tribes), Celts, etc.
And the Finns - from the Finno-Ugric tribes.
But it was a long time ago and before the formation of specific ethnic groups, so that we can say that the Finns and Estonians ordinary Europeans, I think.
In any case, I think that no genes is important, but belonging to the culture, the people.

>2. Hypersonic anti-ship missiles which you don't even have.
Guess you arent familiar with how the tomahawk cruise missile works. It's suppose to fly low and slow with ability to make multiple flight path changes to avoid detections.

once something goes supersonic, anybody's missile defense system lights up like a Christmas tree giving time to shoot it down unlike our way of zero/minimal detection (see how effective our cruise missiles were during the evasion of iraq, poor repub guard didn't know what even hit them

Literally got all your knowledge from Rome Total War or some other game. Probably spent a little time on Wikipedia reading about your country getting raped in Operation Uranus and thinking you're some big shot military strategist. Lol

Listen here, you autistic one-track-mind fuck, wars happen for many reasons, take a break from call of duty and wake up to the fact that war is not make an objective, somebody loses, somebody wins. War is not a goddamn sports game where the objective is clear-cut. We didn't go into Vietnam to stop South Vietnam from being taken over, how laughably retarded you must've been in history class. You probably thought the Nazis invaded Russia because there were jews there.

Just to show you how retarded your logic is, let's think like you do for a second.

>US went into war to stop South Vietnam from being taken over
>while US was there South Vietnam was not taken over
>US left and South Vietnam gets taken over
>US loss

Nevermind the fact there was a plethora of reasons for why we intervened in Vietnam except for kinder-garten level "lulz to help protect south vietnam." Never mind that militarily we achieved every objective we wanted. Never mind that only political objectives like win the hearts and minds of an entire fucking nation was not met. How in the world do you see this as a loss? Do you realize the amount of money we lost in Vietnam we made up literally ten years later? Do you think there was some kind of economic repercussion to our intervention there?

Literally the only thing that guides you in any way in this conversation is your infantile emotion. Just let it out. You were probably very young and read about Vietnam in your German classes, thought to yourself "how can a mighty empire like the US fall to a bunch of rice peasants" and stuck with that ideology all your life, and now here you are, shitposting your drivel on a Buddhist watersports forum.

for ship defense we have the Phalanx CIWS as a last resort, pretty effective and Sea RAM for additional missile defense. During Operation Praying Mantis when the US sought retaliation for iran damn near sinking one of our frigates, we decided to fuck their shit up which resulted in an exchange of anti-ship missiles.

you can guess that our electronic warfare ability was sophisticated to defeat most incoming and the remainder shot down.

pls look up this incidence cause iran fired a fuckload of anti ship missiles and the US was able to assert itself competent against such a threat.

Si why bring them up when they are not relevant? Russia has its own tomahawk variant, you don;t have hypersonic ship killers. That's all that maters.

Anything else is fluff and not relevant.

No actually nevermind, you're probably going to rant about successes during the campauign because you don't understand what a military objective is.
Lets rephrase this, what would you like to pretend was the reason the U.S. intervened in the Vietnam war which was actually accomplished by the end of it?

You keep saying it wasn't preventing the North from conquering the South (nevermind that that is what the U.S. goverment and military themselves state as reason to this day, but hey maybe they are lying), then what was it?

>>81408324
I know what you're saying anon but it was US personnel theorizing what the enemy would do, which isn't a guarantee that the enemies even that smart

Most countries lack Military Academies and War Colleges like we have at West Point, Annapolis and a few in Virginia

Iran also has rampant corruption, just because one's appointed general doesn't mean it was done so by merit and skill, more so patronage, even without prior military experience

I'm not saying the US isn't corrupt but our generals usually know what they're doing, look at the likes of Norman Schwartzkopf and recently retired Army Chief of Staff Odierno. They're exceptionally smart people of different breeds. Odierno has a degree in nuclear engineering while Qud commander whatshisname has 0 academic hours. Their general of the army dropped out freshmen year pursuing a construction degree to join the islamic revolution. Their command system is basically old guys who deposed a king

present day russia's anti air may be better than present day USA's anti air...

but our ability to conduct electronic warfare is miles ahead of anybody elses, That is why i cited NATO intervention in serbia/bosnia, we hardly lost any planes because we always sent our planes up with the ability to defeat SAMs, primarily through electronic warfare.

First of all, you're an idiot, 2nd, how will the do it, by air or by sea, because their navies are not capable of landing a force and supplies to sustain a offensive, and their air forces cannot transport and sustain a task force, even if they did a combined air and naval operations they have neither the equipment of vehicles of sustaining a attack force against the Australian main land. How do I know this? first hand experience of reviewing Indonesian forces and second hand knowledge of Malaysian forces.

One of our Gotland class subs literally fucked the american naval fleet.

Americans have the man power and weaponry but they are so retarded at strategy and loses to Vietnamese farmers who digs holes in the ground and Afghan sheep herders who hides behind rocks. They are using our Carl Gustav against the Taliban now too to prevent more needlessly dead americucks against sais sheep herders.

lol, /k/ is a bunch of retards that couldn't cut the muster to even join the army.

and it's okay to admit that the usa COULD be defeated theoretically using fairly realistic tactics and circumstances.


Honestly, everybody knows that the US has a nasty habit of vocalizing our presence wherever we go because it earns politicans brownie points or something.

secondarily, those types of tactics DO work in the real world. I guess you haven't heard of the USS Cole either. hmmm?

>Beginning in 1965, Westmoreland sent large numbers of soldiers on “search and destroy” operations using helicopters and high-tech weapons to find and kill Viet Cong forces. Westmoreland’s strategy in Vietnam depended on the superiority of U.S. firepower, including intensive aerial bombardments of regular enemy units. The goal was not to seize and hold territory, but to inflict more losses than the Communist forces could sustain.

>With antiwar sentiment growing on the home front, the Johnson administration lost confidence in Westmoreland’s strategy of attrition and its chances for victory in Vietnam. The beleaguered president turned down Westmoreland’s request for some 200,000 more troops and recalled him to Washington to serve as the U.S. Army’s chief of staff. General Creighton W. Adams, Westmoreland’s deputy commander, replaced him as head of the MACV

Westmoreland's entire military objective focused on destroying the VC and NVA through bombardment and attrition. He achieved this on multiple fronts, just look up literally any battle from the period.

That was his military objectives. They were met. The military goal changed to a political one after he was replaced. I don't know how much more clearer I can make this.

Both Australian and New Zealand have "defense" forces, ie capable numbers and equipment to sustain a home land defense against any non allied threat in the local region. New Zealand has a very small land mass in a very remote location which gives the defending forces a force multiplier much greater then say a European nation would.

btw the one week that the US removed its own self imposed restriction on bombing the north supply and staging areas of the NVA, attacks and force numbers dropped by 95% approx against US and allied areas, just remember the US never lost that war to the VC or NVA, they lost it to themselves.

>why bring them up when they are not relevant?
I was making a point that hyper-sonic isn't necessarily better and in the case against US ships. it wouldn't kill shit unless a zerg rush of them were launched overwhelming our highly sophisticated missile defenses.


as for ship killers, the US is developing rail guns to become operational by 2018-2020. It will be able to shoot a small object up to mach 8-9 (Faster than nearly all missles) at ranges of 130 miles. Also due to it's insane speed, it's being theorized that it could be used to shoot down missiles because no known missile in the world can evade a small object traveling at mach 8-9.

Does it even fucking matter what a military objective is? You're just going to move the goalpost and re-define it over and over again until it fits your standard, kudos for picking a completely amorphous and generic term as the entire basis of your argument though.

I don't even know how to explain to you how the war started, it honestly requires a bit of research on your part which may be a little to difficult, so I'll just suggest read up on the Korean war, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, French Indochina and US foreign policy from Eisenhower until Carter. Read up a bit more so you can at least look a little educated in a discussion with adults.

guess you slept through the invasion of iraq, god that was a clusterfuck.

I also agree that iran probably doesn't have the level of military strategists minds that we do have but there has been isolated incidents where the US ate their own words. Jesus, just look at how long it took us to develop a defense against IEDs.
>>
>>81413321
and again, doesn't matter what alternatives you have or how they would be used. It's a high tech weapon you don't have

if you mention stealth I wouldn't go about how the Serbs brought down one or how Russia has had 20 years to develop stealth radar or how they would counter it with other tactics ina cinflict

all of that is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is that stealth is a high tech they do not have

Russian military is superior in many fields, that was the argument and I believe I proved my point

The USA would roll, if no Jewish tricks are involved Israel would be done in a day or two while everyone else is still fighting. Even Brazil could put up a fight against Russia. Everyone else would be worn to rags. Especially Turkey and Germany since they are so evenly matched, the winner would get stomped by US again.

It's what happens when your government cuts everything, your people see money being spent on military as money not being spent on social security infrastructure, and most of your new military joins are from people who failed in school

French Foreign Legion sounds interesting. Anyone know anything about it? Do any other countries have a foreign legion?
