Not unless Belgium decides to become un-cucked... The French really are stupid...
>>30086541
No. It was stupid when strategic mobility was just primitive air drops and armor.
now with airmobile and airlift and precision munitions its just dumb. all positions could be marked and the whole complex could be taken out by a couple hundred cruise missles.
>>30086541
No.
>>30086649
Not to mention the atom bomb.
Static defenses have a tremendous advantage in that it makes your enemies movements predictable.
>>30086541
You need strategic defense in depth.
Pic is assuming an attack through Belgium. Each square are reserve armies that can instantly be deployed and after the German offensive has stalled, initiate an offensive of their own.
See operation Citadel and operation Kutuzov for examples.
>>30086541
How would walls and mines stop missiles?
>>30086843
by building it in america or isreal.
>>30086541
Against refugees?
Yes

>>30086690
yeah, but "flank it by invading the neighboring country" can be achieved by digging an equally long trench & making it wide enough that building pontoon bridges to cross it wouldn't be an option (would probably be cheaper as well to dig the trench)
>>30086541
Trump's wall.
>>30086713
Or I can just airlift my army behind yours.
Probably less so. Give it another 20 or 30 years until we have working active defense that can shoot down nearly all missiles or artillery.
>>30087822
Unless you have the VDV or the 15th Airborne Corps at your disposal, then your forces wouldnt stand a chance. They would simply lack the vehicles needed for the task.
That and you would need to have air superiourity or at the least, parity.

Nope, gliders made it obsolete

Unthinkable. We friends now.
Undenkbar. Wir sind jetzt Freunde.
Impensable. Aujourd'hui, nous sommes des amis.

Germany generally starts wars after stewing in the feeling that they're being screwed over for a couple of decades.
Before WWI, they thought they were being screwed out of colonies, a fleet and superpower status.
Before WWII, they thought they were being screwed out of Danzig, West Prussia, and being blamed for a war they didn't start.
Soon enough, Germans may start feeling screwed over about hosting millions of migrants when France admits 30000 and England and Poland none, and about having their savings slowly eaten away to the benefit of Italy and Greece.
Never underestimate furor teutonicus. Just wait 15 years or so...
>>30086541
No. Tank is just about as slow as you can make a bunker nowardays
>>30093049
Get a grip. Germany is one generation away from being a islamic republic, the cucks that live in germany have nothing in common with their warrior forefathers.

Since I'm swiss, I wonder if Belgium would still be the easiest way compared to Switzerland. I know that Belgium isn't any more relevant than it was at the time, but our army is reaching pathetic levels. I'd say our only chance are the Jura mountains. There are some inbred creatures not even the germans would want to awake over there.
>>30086541
we could have pushed further while the krauts were busy in germany.
I wonder what could have happened

You don't know what are you talking about.
Germany is heavily export-based economy, they need to pump money into poor slackers like Greeks or Italians otherwise the price of Euro would grow too much and the export would drop significantly.

>>30093770
Exactly - if anything the whole thing should look like that - the entire point of fortifications is to make your enemy attack the other part of the front.
>>30093810
Fixed
>>30086713
What an idiot
>>30093867
I can add "deeper" reserves that would get in in case you'd engage the ones on the frontline but I was just making a point.
>>30093886
Yeah, I get your point. However I would've increased length of fortifications all of the way to the Switzerland border so the Germans can't exploit the flank.

Like i said, it assumes an attack from Belgium.
You can have further lines of defense directly bordering Germany (Maginot line).
>>30093853
Unlikely to happen.
>>30093884
No, you are the moron, one of your attack vectors goes straight through all of those defenses and if you have that kind of offensive power, then no defense is going to work anyway.
>>30093937
Very funny.
Yes, i am a bit butthurt right now.

How do you think World War I started?
Do you think it was something other than Balkan shitflinging combined with huge empires making sketchy alliances?
>>30094830
actually if the Bong and Frog had not fallen for the feint in Belgium they would have had a good chance at defeating Germany in 1940.
>>30095094
Part of the reason we Brits failed to stop the Germans in Belgium was thanks to the belief their tanks couldn't pass through the thick forest regions. Which they could meaning all of our dug-in troops suddenly were in bad or useless positions.
>>30086623
>>30086649
The Maginot line, and static defenses are not to stop the enemy, they are there to make it easier to defend with as few men as possible. The Maginot Line WORKED as it was intended and it worked brilliantly. You have a few thousand men man the forts on the edge and keep most of your army in reserve. Once the enemy attacks the men in the forts hold off the invasion while you bring up your reserves for the counter-attack. It's weird reading historians talk about the "failures" of the Maginot Line, all the while hamming up how "formidable" Hitler's Atlantic Wall was. It's the same idea as the Maginot Line.
>>30098695
Because they have to demonize Hitler as much as possible to continue extracting shekels from the western world.
