| #2 RUSSIA = CHINA + even IRAN = "RUSTY" = Unlike the older generation of Russian Soldats, Russia's contemporary Armed Forces are mostly or increasingly Newbies/FNGS wid little military andor experience in prolonged or protractive combat this far away from Russia's borders, e.g East Ukraine-Crimea + Chechnya. To save the "dying/collapsing" Assad Regime + defeat the seemingly "victorious" ISIS/ISL + Al-Nusra in Syria [Iraq?], RUSSIA + ALIGNED MUST NOW HIT 'EM HARD + OFTEN, WID FULL CONVENTIONAL FORCES POWER ASAP AMAP ALAP + NO LONGER IN US = OBAMA-STYLE LIMITED OR HIGHLY "SELECTIVE/RANDOM" STRIKES, I.E. DRONE OPS. ACROSS-THE-BOARD HIGH-INTENSITY BRUTE FORCE, which Mama Russia is historically well-known OR notorious for, NOT LIMITED OR SELECTIVE/RANDOM, LOW-INTENSITY FORCE. Iff OWG Co-Superpower Russia is going to deter -n-protect its post-Cold War, post-9-11 "Sphere(s) of Influence", ITS CURRENT MILITARY MUST BE ABLE TO PROJECT ITSELF + FIGHT LONG-DISTANCE MAOR ANDOR MINOR WARS. DITTO CHINA, DITTO IRAN, OTHER. |
