no sir, heres why: the russians had a surperior production rate due to their huge forced work system and an incredible number of factories, also they had an good and very large tank force, practically unlimited soldiers, and their enormous country had unlimited resources, making it so that they could mass produce rather than super quality weapons and men. and besides alaska was only 50 miles awy from them(The alueisions are part of alaska). and they have retained that ability to this day, despite the destruction of the U.S.S.R.

After World War II everyone was interest in the military and its people. Now that the people aren't interest. The latest events hasnt interest them to learn about these events. so most people dont know! Its a military isn't cool right now so i dont care kinda thing.

I disagree with you on many many levels (Russia's current involvement in Chechnya, the complete distaste of her citizens for a resumption of hostilities between our nations, the lack of available resources in Russia in the enormous amounts required for such an invasion, and the near complete lack of a bluewater navy on their eastern side are among them), but I do not believe they had the ability to successfully invade even at the height of the Cold War. If they couldn't take on Afghanistan (as much due to poor morale as to poor tactics/warfighting if what I have heard is correct), how the devil could they take on America?

Now in my opinion, if they somehow got a fleet of magic Harpoon-proof transports, China would have the greatest chance of successfully invading, and even they wouldn't stand the chance of Frosty the Snowman in hell in July.

What the hell are you talking about?

This thread should go to the humour section. First we have the Japs invading the US. Now the Russians are capable of doing so.

I love comedy!

hey, laugh if you like, but i do believe tat the choices are limited in number.

The russians are a shadow of what they once were and even at their peak they didnt have a chance of taking the U.S. without nukes. They cant even pay for the gas to get their fleet out of the dock.....
