Swedish archers entering the battlefield. Great performers, should be very effective in an environment with counter-battery fire.

Besides, it wouldn’t be a war against Russia alone. China would get involved as well.
Didn't the Soviet Union also get chased out of Afghanistan?
Thanks for the laugh. Nato crushed Afghanistan quickly. It is the nation building for a people that don’t want nation building that is the issue. Russia would be crushed in a conventional war by NATO. They are losing to Ukraine 😂. It is the nation building that would be problematic. You are amusing, please continue.They sure did. But the big difference is the Soviet Union was one country. NATO is 30+ countries. Big difference.

The Soviet Union was literally a collection of sovereign countries as per their own constitution. That's why Ukraine SSR and Belorussia were separate members of the UN.They sure did. But the big difference is the Soviet Union was one country. NATO is 30+ countries. Big difference.

You laugh, I have a longbow that could probably clear 200 yards if I didn't feel like finding the arrow. Now hitting my intended target might be a different question.LOL I thought you were talking about bows and arrows when I started reading this.
Yes, I'm not confident NATO could occupy Russia and nation build there (why would we even want to) but their army would not be a problem. It's a joke.Thanks for the laugh.

I'm going to say the history of countries trying to occupy Russia is not great. I'd rather skip that.Best case scenario is occupy them, get rid of all their nukes, then just leave. Russia is clearly no threat to anyone without nukes.

Maybe CN will provide the Russkies with some of their brand new, top of the line rifles.
Keyholing at 10 yards, what a joke.

So what makes you think Russia invading Ukraine is going to turn out any different for Russia than when they invaded Afghanistan?
He uhhh... did not think this line of argument through, haha.So what makes you think Russia invading Ukraine is going to turn out any different for Russia than when they invaded Afghanistan?
I think it will turn out different for Russia. But not in a good way.

‘A hard time’ to put it mildly. They are currently fortifying Crimea, indicating they think there’s a distinct possibility Ukraine will be in a position to assault it.The Soviets lost about 14-15k troops during Afghanistan. That is why it is known as the graveyard of Empires.
The actual invasion of a country is the easy part. Occupying a country with a hostile population, that is the hard part.
Right now the Russian army is having a hard time just executing on the easy part of a invasion and occupation.
