"We have munitions that when dropped from a bomber can wipe out an entire semi-dispersed armored or mechanized division in one shot. Russia cannot compete with that."

Yes they can, it's called a nuclear bomb.

"Since they have 28 divisions (Their military numbers about 1/3 of the United States at this period) this means they have to disperse. Dispersed units are dog meat to US forces... we eat them, we chew them, we poo them out. And the smoldering remains will be visible for miles."

They can recrute/draft a lote more if the americans attack, it'll be seen as american imperialistic, and the army would become extremely large.

"They have no real chance. Their aircraft are so pitiful even Europe makes better. Their tanks... well lets just say their tanks are not winning any Olympic medals, not even bronze, for their capabilities."

Don't you get it? A war in Russia is not going to be fought in the air, but on the grounds of Russia, in wich the Americans will just suffer and die.

"Their infantry is mostly 2 year conscripts. You cant win with 2 year conscripts."

The Iraqies aren't even that, and yet you suffer quite some heavy losses. They have the advantage of playing at home wink

"Russia is a paper tiger. They are weak. They have nukes and want to be a bully. Stand firm with united voices. Do not let them push you around... instead tell them if they do not do what you say you will take their oil fields and keep them for the indefinite future. This will wake them up."

Go ahead then America! Show them what you're worth if their militairy is such a scrambled bunch. Go you! People will not die in a war that can be avoided so easily, not in my name.

Hitler was just that bit worse though... Putin is more like Franco, clever enough to stay in power for a long time...

"To release their pent-up frustration and anger."

I'm not restraining from sexual activities, so I'm the one that's least frustrated!

For the rest, it sounds random sillyness. Can you rephrase your argument?

"The EU needs another Bismarck."

Someone who leads us into war wich only realisation was a moral victory against a weakened France? Somehow, I don't see how that applies to this current situation.
Bismarck's realpolitik would fail miserably nowadays. It's horribly outdated and originates from days where every country was able to fulfill it's own needs, and every country was thus far more independent than we are nowadays..

I don't know how you see it, but in case of an actual conflict against Russia, we're pretty much screwed. You might have noticed thi that having no oil or gas, usually leaves quite a strain on a military operation. wink We'd be cut off, our reserves would be able to get our armies going for a few weeks at most. The US wouldn't be able to supply us enough, and the oil they do supply would be extremely expensive (you can't claim that your brotherhood would stretch that far).

"Based on that "logic" people also have the need for murder."

As said above, you don't need murder to be healthy. Now come on and show me what your incredible logic is then!

Also: Maslow's Pyramid of needs:

Notice how sex is at the complete bottom and religion at the complete top!


"you don't need sex to be healthy"

I disagree. Psychology has proven that you need a sexual outlet for your mental health wink

"I feel sorry for the little Paul and Alan, who it appears may not know what logic actually is"

lol! Logic would be what then? A God-inspired system?
About religious people, I have a single good advise: "Never trust a person who read only one book in his entire life, or is influenced by only one"

"Who's talking nukes? I saw level the bastards with conventional bombs.  If they wanna take it to a nuclear showdown, THEN we turn the biosphere to plasma"

I was merely pointing out that people got quite carried away and several posts appeared about nuking the russians.

"MAD = Mutually Assured Destruction is what US tries to avoid by achieving Nuclear Primacy. BTW USSR was trying to achieve the same goals too..."

I prefered the mutual agreement to destroy parts of the atomic arsenal, rather than this cold war tactic.

"as soon as NATO achieves it russia will be crushed in a nuclear blast unable to retaliate"

But why would we even want to nuke Russia to oblivion? For the love of god!! If you'd even attempt to do so, you'd spread enough fallout to destroy the rest of the world along with it...

Honeslty, I'm frightened by this gun-pulling ideas that float around here. Yes, what happened to Georgia is bad, but it's at least understandable why the Russians pulled the trick. My point of view is that their attitude shouldn't necessairily be a reason for us to start a war with them..

The world is NOT the setting of Dr. Strangelove!

"Thanks. I know there's some real problems that I'll encounter, but it's possible I'll find a solution smile.
Now to be honest, since Europeans favor post-modernism and Continental Philosophy, I think they are unqualified to "disprove" any kind of philosophical theory."

No, you can't rationally destroy an idea that's not rational.

"Behaviorism has been very medically useful. The alternatives really just suck compared to Behaviorism, and it isn't so "discredited" in the sense that it continues to advance. A European argument that it's reductionist isn't an overriding criticism."

We were talking behaviourism in History, wich has been discredited and abandoned (well, mostly)..

"I became a Christian due to using reasoning and logic to then propel me to using faith."

Strict logic only allows a Deist god, and even that is doubtful.

And indeed, there aren't many true believers in Belgium, and I don't mind them either. But they should accept religion's boundaries.. Those christians I know believe in creationism etc, wich really is stupidity.
