Is a war between Russia and Nato still a relevant scenario?

Question

Do you still believe there is a risk of war between these two opposing sides? which countries do you think would support Russia and if it remained non nuclear who do you believe would win? I'm aware Russia is behind in technology but more than makes up for it in manpower...

Thanks for answering.

Answer 1

If Russia would not use its nuclear arsenal they would have no chance.

Answer 2

it's  what the Zionists are trying to stir up .

Answer 3

Very possible if Russia insists on war with Georgia.  

Answer 4

Please don't use daft words. The answer is no.

Answer 5

hang on and watch the fireworks surrounding Georgia and Russia concerning the breakaway province of South Ossetia.  Georgia is pro-west and seeking NATO membership.  Could get uglier before it gets better.  You may get your answer

Answer 6

No war likely between Russia and NATO - Georgia is not a member of NATO - and looks like it never will be now or at any time soon if the Russians have their way.

Keep an eye on it, but keep out.  We're busy.

Answer 7

No Europe has become too dependent on Russian Natural Gas, if war broke out Russia would stop the flow

Answer 8

No.  For all the same reasons the old Warsaw Pact never decided to go after the NATO Alliance.  That is, they would have had their asses handed to them in short order...and they knew it.  Short of a nuclear exchange, which NOBODY with two brain cells to rub together really wants, or wins, Russia would be driven back into the Stone Age by NATO's collective power and overwhelmingly superior tactics and technology.  

As far as manpower goes (And this goes for the Chinese as well), we can make bullets and other ordinance faster than they can make soldiers.  As for the Iranians - mentioned in previous answers to this question are concerned; if they don't want that pest hole they call a country turned into a smoking, glassy crater, they'd best keep their little dab of nuclear capability put to civilian use.  Trust me on this, the Israelis alone, without any outside help, can utterly flog Iran or any other Arab nation(s) who try to destroy them.

The Russians are notoriously tough sons-of-b*****s...on their own soil.  Not so much when they're outside the confines of Mother Russia.  And the famously brutal Russian winter won't have its storied effect on a modern conflict either.

Answer 9

Yes it is. If Iran continues with its nuclear weapons programme Israel will attack. Iran will counter attack and has also sworn to attack Israel's allies, notably America who are prepared to allow Israeli jets to fly over US controlled areas. The US will retaliate and will support Israel. The big problem here is that the Iranian nuclear plants are staffed largely by Russian workers and Russia are not going to sit by and watch their country folk get blitzed. The chances of it remaining non-nuclear are zero and so the question of who will be the winner is rather academic. Few of us will crawl out of it alive. The whole of the Muslim middle east and Russia will support Iran. Iran is the second largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia and so Oil would shoot to over $400 a barrel creating a world wide fuel crisis that would plunge us into deep depression and fuel riots. Not a pretty picture.

Answer 10

Yes, Russia remains a clear and present danger to peace in Europe!
