    Define “ready”, Martin Jaeger. They’re second best in Ukraine, so it can’t be in terms of capacity to win.

      If you disregard ability to win, any one of us is technically ready to attack Europe.

      They still have their usual ‘wunderwaffle’ to roll out - Waves of Humans and zero care for human lives.

      Russia is as dangerous now as Japan was in WW2.

        Japan had an aircraft carrier fleet rivaling the US, better carrier fighter planes than the US, and were occupying a lot of China, who was a peer opponent. It also took a US-USSR alliance to take them down.

        Russia on the other hand is able to wreak a lot of havoc, and is also good on some technological fronts, like drone warfare, espionage and ballistic missiles, but it has recently lost a lot of its fleet against an opponent with no navy, and is stuck in trench warfare with equipment that in WWII would be the equivalent of muskets.

        This whole posturing is because Russia ran out of easily recruitable people, and needs internal justification to start throwing in conscripts as well.

        Oh, BTW it’s “Wunderwaffe”, if you want a “Wunderwaffle”, go to Brussels, they put strawberries and cream on it so high it won’t fit in your mouth.
