      NATO has half a million troops. The largest navy and air force in the world. I like their chances

        NATO has more troops than that. The united state alone has 2 million.

          The largest air force in the world is the US Air Force. The second largest air force in the world is the US Navy.

        Both sides have enough nukes to kill the entire human race several times over.

        Russia is coming up on its half a million cassualties milestone. Would be the perfect time for the NATO half million to step in.

        First, war is always a tragedy. Always. It is to be avoided until the reasonably plausible alternative is worse for human suffering. People who ignore this are asses (not saying you are one of them).

        Second, as long as it stays conventional and China stays on the sidelines, then yes of course NATO destroys the Russian military, or at least keeps it hemmed into existing Russian territory. That’s been true for 30 years.

        Third, those are VERY big ‘ifs’.

      Disagree. I seriously doubt that anyone would turn the key. I don’t think Russia could inflict enough losses to hurt NATO logistical operations and I think NATO would prioritize careful advancements to minimize casualties and give the Russian military a frog in the pot treatment. When they realize that its all over, it will be too late and I think we would see a russian revolution before then.

        Doesn’t matter the tactics used, its corrupt politians measuring their dicks by using regular people as pawns on a chessboard.

      I would win. In times of war, I become a gentleman thief and underworld figure who is useful to both sides.
