Russian tank crews are any better trained than the Iraqi's were. Our armed
forces are a total and complete overmatch for any other armed force on the
globe. Period. It's not even close.


In the eve of the most important paradigm shift in the warfare since the
invention of gun powder its more a liability than an asset.
You might want to use your current military assets agressively before paradigm
shift (while they are still useful) to streghten your positions,but if your
peer competitor is very good on setting up a "Global Trap" for you and might
force you to waste your very limited resources for nothing.
(Any similarities with Brzezinskis' "Afghanistan Trap" are of course purely
coincidental)
As far as I can see, as paradigm shift nears,US administrations are getting
more nervous and aggressive and making even more mistakes
Thats so simple..
