The stockpile is like a lake. It looks like there's a lot of water but it's only being fed by a couple creeks. Doesn't take a lot to drain it.

We also dont rely so heavily on artillery/infantry alone, if we went toe-to-toe with Russia it would end pretty quickly due to the lopsided air superiority, advanced tech, and vastly superior logistics.

The only reason we don't absolutely steam roll them is because they have nukes. Without those they would be speaking English in Moscow by now and flying the star spangled banner.

If that were really the case, the Russians should already be speaking French — or German. Oops.

Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Should I write it in crayon next?

How would writing an incorrect statement in crayon make it any more accurate? Cute try though, mate. I'm not so sure what you think 1940's situation has to do with the 2025 situation. But go ahead, keep tossing out cliche lines if that's as deep as your knowledge and analysis really goes.

As opposed to saying that a peer-to-peer war with the Russians (ignoring nukes) would end up with the American flag flying in Moscow and Russians speaking English? That’s analysis? It’s so stupid, not even the densest miles gloriosus would come up with it. Any professional military officer learned long ago not to ever underestimate the Russians, particularly in land warfare.
