Die NATO sei „unzureichend“ auf einen groß angelegten Krieg mit Russland vorbereitet, sagt Hodges

Such a nothingburger news. Of course Nato is prepared. would be weird if it was not.

Considering they can’t really handle the situation with Ukraine, there is a 0% chance they don’t get completely folded by NATO.

lol, remember the headline that the U.S’s conventional capability threatened stability? Because it was TOO capable. Able to address all threats of China and Russia combined supposedly drove them to be more war like.

So… are we too capable or incapable? Me thinks everyone just needs to calm the hell down.

Absolute nonsense.

Russia has no answer to NATO stealth aircraft, no balancer against them, and no system that can reliably detect them, leave alone track and interdict them. Its tank forces are in shambles, its accuracy with artillery and missiles is utter dogshit, its troops are largely ineffectual and clueless, and those that aren’t either thing are under equipped and under supplied.

Russia can’t defend itself against counter invasion, it can’t achieve its aims without emptying entire towns of men in first and second world war style human wave attacks, its combined arms strategy…isn’t combined at all, and would be outdated even if it were. It’s naval power has been proven to be utter shit, its air force isn’t worth crap, and its army is pathetic, and only makes headway through numbers, not capacity.

Whereas, NATO has members that contribute some of the most effective human force multipliers in all of military history, including the entirety of the top ten most effective special forces units ever bought together, and the only truly battle hardened ones in all the world, something that Russia cannot counter even if it goes to China or North Korea to get help, because their special forces are made of as much paper as the fucking Spetznaz were, before getting their cards punched by the Ukrainians in the first weeks of this conflict.

All Russia has is a stockpile of nukes it can’t use without getting turned to glass itself. Every other military asset it possesses is on a per unit basis utter shit, and only has numbers going for it, and rapidly shrinking ones at that. If NATO joined Ukraine in actively combatting Russia, the conflict would be a wrap inside of a couple of months, and far less costly than some people seem to think.

Yeah uh, he would know, he was NATOs Allied Land Commander when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Almost like deactivating an armored brigade combat team stationed in Europe was a bad idea.

But Russia did. They were trying to get Trump to kill nato

A lot of you guys are underestimating the damage Russia would do in even a non nuclear war. They would start shooting down satellites, cutting undersea cables, and launch massive cyber attacks. That would just be the beginning.

Europe would be bombed as well. Ultimately, Russia would probably lose, but it really wouldn’t be good for anyone.

Say North Korea decides to go south at the same time, and America would be spread pretty thin for a while.

Dennis the menace with a broken slingshot is prepared for a war with Russia

No lies spoken. Most major powers are now aware that they have the last war’s force structure and tactics.

The trick will be if any of them can change and modernize.

The best part of a statement like this is it ultimately changes nothing.

Like, sure, it might be true – but does Russia REALLY want to risk calling their hand?

Did I miss the part where the US is not part of NATO?

Oh yeah? Well Russia wasn’t even prepared for a war with its own neighbor

Hell, even that Wagner weirdo almost managed to invade Moscow

Russia isn’t even prepared for war against its own

I admit I didn’t read the article but the headline sounds stupid. Ukraine is holding its own with what iwould seem to be NATOs surplus and in some cases outdated equipment

This is Ben hodges one of the few guys who’s been almost spot on calling every one of russias bluffs from the start that being said he is the former General of united states army Europe so he would be cautious and want to have an overwhelming power differential with russia.

And with that also being said he is a NATO mentor for logistics so I think he is right to call on NATO to improve its military production capabilities and get it on par with our adversaries.

The Russian army is the third best armed force in Russia, I don’t think we have anything to worry about.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say NATO has over prepared for war with Russia, had Russia’s three day invasion of Ukraine instead been an invasion of a NATO country the war would have indeed lasted three days. In three days Russell‘s military would’ve been obliterated.

Ha. Russia can’t even handle ukraine.
