Russia has got to be stopped . Who will stop them?

Question

Russia has a population less than half of the USA . I have read people saying we can`t defeat them . Are These statements fact or words of Cowards?

Answer 1

Size of population really has nothing to do with successfully winning a war.  As noted above, the US cant seem to win against the Taliban, and has struggled against loosely organized militias in Iraq for the past 7 years.  Russia is loaded with weapons and they have less compassion for people than even Americans do.  War with Russia would be stupid.

Answer 2

Russia needs to be stopped! They are in Georgian territory, they have no business there!

All this is happening, because Georgia is an ally of USA, and if the world leaves this matter with no more reactions than "we are deeply concerned', Ukraine will be next, and the plan of restoring Soviet Union will start to take shape little by little.

Stop Russian Agression and Bombing against Georgia!

Answer 3

We can not even beat Iraq and they have no navy, air force, army or tatical nuclear weapons.  Besides if we make them mad they may ask chia to not fund the war.

Answer 4

Why don't you just go and try to stop them?  

Oh, by the way, regardless of their population, they have around 6,000 nuclear weapons.

Answer 5

Im hoping it will be the EU ot UN but i think it will end up being the US because they have helped us in Iraq with over 2000 troops supporting our cause and we are trying to help them with Nato so we should atleast back them with some American Toys at the least but Russia has been warned to back off and i worry it might progress into WWlll but all we can do is watch and open our eyes instead of living our day to day life with no worry

Answer 6

have you seen "war games"??

there will be no winner...

Answer 7

I half way agree with Seth, however much has to be considered here...like where would a war between us and Russia be fought? Could we get our troops here fast enough to defend if they attempted to invade us? How much of a toll has the war in the mid east taken on us? and most frightening of all which one of us is daring to cross the line of nuclear force?

I would be hesitant to say that ANYONE or ANY ALLIANCE  in the modern world could even fathom invading Russia been tried for centurys, very little matches the brutality of a Russian winter. And their terrain isn't exaclty very navigable in any other season for that matter.

All in all contrary to popluar belief wars are not like boxing matches you don't just "beat" the other guy. they are more like football games with 50 quarters, many of factors must be taken in consideration and sometimes it comes down to who can no longer carry on.

Matter population last time I checked Russia had a higher population but I'm not sure now.

Russia has about 1000 more nuclear warheads than us that are active and about 3 times as many total (not sure what un-active would mean but i'm thinking it wouldn't take much to make them active)

Russia has 18,000 armored vehicles compared to our 8,000

Our Navy is a lot better equipped and larger, however Russia has a lot of decomissioned ships sitting in their shipyards, not because they are obsolete or anything but because the didn't need them at the time.

I know we are past the days of the arms race and the cold war but Russia is an enemy that no one wants to face. That is a cold hard fact!

Answer 8

1)Vietnam

Answer 9

Georgia don't pay our taxes. This is our country and our congress won't let him go to war . And what is the point more killing aint gonna help any.

Answer 10

It's none of our effing business, and it's time Americans learned to stay out of other country's business. Is the Superman symbol on our flag or something?

Answer 11

Do you really think it's needed to Russia? this war? M? no. The reality is deeper. this war started by candidates to increase their rates.

To build the new promises & forget about olds.

to see the difference you had to see not only english, but russian newspapers & TV. & after, i think you will never ask this question again.

Answer 12

For Christ's Sake..... I am a Russian. And I tell you what, people, Georgians tried to eradicate Osetians 15 years ago, and the latter requested our help. Since then, under international agreement, our peacekeepers were there. Now, after promising to negotiate, Saakashvili attacks and burns Osetian capital city (which is mostly populated by russian citizens) to the ground and attacks and kills some of our peacekeepers. I'm sure your media left out those little details. If we didn't interfere and go to protect our soldiers, you would've said We were weak and couldn't protect our countrymen. And you call our country the aggressor???? People who waited until we lose 15 million people to break the back of the germans in stalingrad (Volgograd now) and Kursk and after that went to war??? The people who interfered into vietnamese and Korean internal affairs????? The people who sent thousands of your own citizens to a slaughter for motherfraking oil money?????????????? Your double standart policy is gonna get you killed some day. Do something about it. Fast.

Answer 13

Population has nothing to do with it.  Israel held off the entire Middle East and Egypt with a little help from America.  As for stopping Russia, if they don't heed our word, major trade sanctions by the U.N and pressure from the world should be enough to stop them.  If not, I've always wanted to visit Moscow :D.

Answer 14

why don't you yanks mind your own business & stop trying to tell the world what to do(nobody likes you's) it has nothing to do with the USA

fix up your country let the world live the way it wants to

Answer 15

I know it makes me sick when i hear Americans say we can't beat Russia in a war have no troops they say we have 350000 deployed all across Europe thats Russian troops don't even have body armmor or good helmets the american helmets can stop a bullet from 10 feet away. we also have more and better equitment ....our body armmor can stop up to a 7.89 mm bullet (the ak 47 is only 7.78) our m1a2s could tear the t-90 to shreads.....Not to mention their surronded from two flanks from europer and from Alaska we could easly launch shock and awe and ownn the Russian army with in weeks.....

That without our allies  the EU and NATO would back us and than the Russian wouldn't last longer than a mounth it makes me sick when I hear these young Americans, AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! say we would have no chance aginst Russia the thing is we wuld win out right the problem is idiots like that sitting back on the homefront saying o were gonna get beat we can't beat the we won't win we should lose........

We also have the wourlds largest navy the russian navy is a joke compared to the American one and don't even get me started about airforeces......and this whole **** about they would jsut nuke us is total Bull the US has the largest most qadvanced missle defence netwrok ever see if the Russians launched a mislle we would easly intercept it and than we would rain nukes down on Russia leaving a stupid crater if they even throught about using a nuke on us....

and as for these allies people keep talking about....Iran is surronded from 2 front Iraq and Afganistan they won't lat more than a week N.Korea can barly feed themselves and the South would easly over run them and China who the **** likes China India,Japan,the US and S.Korea would make quick work of them....

and this **** people keep sayin like o America lost Nam and Korea and now Iraq they should learn their facts we beat all of their conventional militaries within week its the gorrila warfare that gets us all we do is take out the army than leave that all we do....

Answer 16

We can defeat them, but why would we want to do that? They invaded Georgia, so what? Little Georgia picked a fight with big Russia, so they'll get their *** whipped. If Georgia is begging for help, why did they start it?

That being said, we could defeat them, I have no doubt.

Answer 17

I think US should be able to defeat Russian in a all out war, but such war would be devastating.

I don't see how US will want to get involve in this war, military wise.

The only help Gorgia can get is political support, to pressure the Russian to stop their horrible act.

Answer 18

"Russia has got to be stopped . Who will stop them"

Says who, what have they done to you?  My god why wont people stop seeking ways to get into confrontations.  When your son/daughter comes home and said they want to beat someone up that has not caused them any harm, do you encourage them and teach them how?  I am American and I am Orthodox Christian (little stricter than christianity) and I am absolutely appalled by such arguments which lead to confrontation which originate from bu** speculation/encouragement from such statements like this.  Sir if you love war and fighting and killing I suggest you enlist in your countries military wherever you are from.  Stop trying to influence and sway others, absolutely disgusting.

Answer 19

we can and will beat them. world war 3 baby lets do it!

Answer 20

Go right ahead I'll call Georgia and tell them your own your way.

Answer 21

The Greens. The Environmentalists with a phone call to demolish major airports to stop oil consumption. None in world of that sort no problem. Will happen away. Stop Global Warming before too late.

Humanity has to be stopped. Focus on religious brainwashing not Consumer though.
