And the US has plenty of that.

Sorry no… beating up first graders doesn’t count! :)


Sereios. You call ISIL, Al Qaeda,Taliban as first graders.

It's the most difficult format of warfare. We the enemy is invisable.

America will not fight a country like Russia where it gets to send soldiers to trenches as cannon fodder losing 500 a day. That isn't the type of warfare you can expect from US. They actually value the lives of their soldiers.

If the US was fighting Russia in Ukraine, it would be shock and awe of 300 sorties a day, followed by ATACMS, HARM and EW. In other words, the entire joint would be glass.

the T-72 Tanks from the 70s will achieve nothing.

R ussia is a conscript military. US Military is fully professional. That's a big difference.

Not only are these US-made militias (except Taliban), but Russia wiped them all out in Syria ages ago!

The trick is you must EXTRACT the Russophones from in there without hurting them... and therein lies the Russian skill that America doesn't have.

No it didn't.

America wipoed out ISIL. Russia wiped out Syrian Armed Resistance and never really targetted ISIL at all.

Yes it is correct. Russia is a conscript military and US isn't. Military service in the US is completely voluntary and competitive. People actually join for career.

Or put your hand up to be an intelligence officer, a pilot, a submariner, or medic and so on. They only pick probably the top 50 per 5000 applicants.



Nope! They pick up about 70%. And that's for Officers. Imagine what happens with simple soldiers. 95%+??

According to OfficerCandidatesSchool.com, the Marine OCS acceptance rate was about 70 percent for 2017 sessions,

America needs to grow a spine and confront a 6th grader for once.


US Military doesn't beat up first graders.

The US Military vapourises and incinerates them with Aviation and precision missile, and drone strikes.

The kind of stuff Russia can't do because they are a minnow now.

You can't get anything right...

Volunteers in Russian army are called contractors, which implies they enlisted for money. As of March 2019, about 400,000 contract soldiers were serving in the Russian army. According to Defense Minister Shoigu, in each regiment and brigade, two battalions are formed by contractors, and one by conscripts, not participating in combat missions. The armed forces had 136 tactical battalion groups formed by contractors. As of March 2020, the number of conscripts was 225,000 and the number of contract soldiers was 405,000.

Military service in Russia is compulsory for 12 monthsw for all 18 to 27 year olds.

The US has more contractors than Russia - usually private enterpises like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Electric, Raytheon, Halliburton and so on. Actual professionals, not some Syrian and Iranian or Jihadi trash.

Russian soldiers are crawling through trenches FFS, as we watch grenades being dropped on them from toy drones that we can all buy from a hobby shop.

The Ukies are liars and deceivers… they have no credibility or honor.

Oh right.

So Russians are using toy drones? You would think the Z on their armoured vehicles are a dead giveaway.

Russia still hasn't evolved from WW2
