Fantasy Scenario: If Russia was Hellbent on European Domination

[poiuytrewq0987]

If one morning Putin decided to conquer all of Europe... would he succeed?

Russia has a total troop count of 3.7 million. If it went to war with the Baltic states, Finland, Ukraine and Poland. They would certainly win as their missile forces are more than ample to seriously damage the fighting capability of those countries. If it went onto Germany, I believe Russia would easily defeat them because the German armed forces are tiny... they only have around 200 to 300 thousand troops (active and reserve). France? It would certainly be defeated as easily as it was defeated by the Germans in the past within mere weeks. Russia would then go onto Spain and Spain would probably lose pretty fast since its land force is pretty small... not likely sufficient to defend against a Russian incursion. The UK will be a bit more challenging since the Russian navy will have to go up against a pretty modern naval force but in the end I believe the Russians can triumph against the British navy by nuking their ships.

Discuss.

Russian armed forces status is flat line. They barely made it at Georgia. Sudden attack with nuking half of Europe could possibly do it but then again, whats the use of all that radioactive land ?

Nuclear weapon made large-scale conventional warfare obsolete. WWII was the last.

Do you think the French and the Bri.. would simply let this happen with out enforcing mutually assured destruction

Its all a bit silly.

Russia would be stopped at our borders. With a pool of nearly a million reservists, all of whom equal 10 rooskies, we'd end up conquering Russia instead.

What, its fantasy?

Russia is a borderland, Finland an Empire!"

[Eldritch]

It's not a fantasy scenario. Russia is doing all it can to achieve European domination.



(exactly like Germany, France, the UK, Poland, China, Brazil, Estonia, Burkina Faso and Luxembourg, among others)

First of all Russia does not need to do it. She holds half of Europe via resources and tight intelligence network.

If it went onto Germany, I believe Russia would easily defeat them because the German armed forces are tiny... they only have around 200 to 300 thousand troops (active and reserve).

Belarus and Ukraine could easily take Germany on with the arms they got.

France? It would certainly be defeated as easily as it was defeated by the Germans in the past within mere weeks.

With H-bombs? Some 300 Mirages? GIGN, RAID, 11th paratrooper Brigade and Foreign Legion? I highly doubt...

Did you see any of those pics ? Tanks were new during Soviet-afgan war of 80's. Hairy Chechens riding on top of them, like in some African public transportation "FAIL" picture. People do anything they can, so that they wont have to do their military service (bribes, hiding, what ever it takes). Submarines keep on sunking etc.

And this success at Georgia ? You think their mission goal was to control Abkhazia or Tshinkvali ? They allready controlled those. Mission goal was to take over Georgia's capital and oust that crazy president of theirs. Mission not accomplished.

Lol you're crazy. If Russians wanted to take Tbilisi they'd do it. They met 0 resistance in Georgia. The only thing that stopped them from doing so was eminent political scandal.
