Even Iran would be a struggle, and that would be possible only if we didn’t plan to occupy. Now Russia, there is no way we could defeat them with conventional forces, and it is an open question if we could keep them taking some of our artic territories.
I am aware that we are vastly superior to Russia in air and naval forces, but the Russians will not challenge us in the air or sea. Their attack would be a land operation in the artic. We don’t have the combat troops to oppose them. We have 250 to 300 hundred thousand combat troops, and unlike Russians, we have no civilian force to back up the army.
