Young Freud posted:I was reading that Janes' analysis and was surprised that they shitted on missile defense. Deployment of 40 interceptors is only possible because ballistic missile defense hasn't been a priority since the fall of the USSR and, despite it's increasing technical feasibility, it's a red-headed stepchild in the Pentagon. The cost of the GMD program is something like $40 billion dollars by 2017, but, in comparison, that's a drop in the bucket to the $1.3 trillion dollars we've spent on the F-35 program, and we've gotten successful intercepts out of GMD and THAAD. MAD and the cold war are still in living memory, so restricting missile defense to token containment of North Korea and previously Iran is a feature, not a bug.

Plan Z posted:Last I heard, as far NATO defense goes, Germany had an agreement with France where they were supposed to have a combined 15 ready battalions (Originally, Germany was supposed to have 15 on its own). They each have maybe 4 or 5 under-strength battalions each, and a good chunk of France's is motorized. Eastern and Central Europe have been picking up a lot of slack. Political reality and allied intervention aside, Poland could totally beat Germany in a fair fight right now. It's ridiculous how geographically-central EU members apart from France have completely atrophied militaries beyond the point of reasonable post-cold war drawdowns. C.M. Kruger posted:Orders for the PAK-FA have been quietly cut from enough to theoretically match the F-22 in numbers, down to 12 airframes. They've been having trouble finding export sales because it's really just a Su-27/35 with a bondo'd on stealth kit of questionable performance, and the Indians are reportedly upset because they feel the Russians sold them a bill of goods and are supposedly looking for a way to divest themselves of the program. ...and this from the only country on our planet to build and operate a large supersonic strategic bombing force (no, barely-over-mach 1-B1s don't count)  . Which areas of the Soviet Union contributed most to the expensive cold war era military that are missing now, besides Russia's economy being kind of lovely recently?Also  at 12 airframes, that's basically enough to pretend there's totally a domestic version of your export product apart from the prototypes.

Gantolandon posted:Meanwhile in Poland, the Constitutional Court found the December act that was supposed to "regulate" (read as "paralyze") this organ as unconstitutional. The Prime Minister of Poland already announced they won't publish the decision (as required by law), as the Constitutional Court didn't deliberate according to the rules of the aforementioned act. This means the executive and legislative is now in open conflict with judiciary. Is it too early to grab the popcorn in anticipation of the Polish civil war?

Friendly Humour posted:Tanks and anti-tank missiles can be bought when necessary before the existing reserves would run out in the event of an all out war, and as we've seen with the Arab adventures in conquering Israel, initial materiel supremacy doesn't count for much if your people are primarily poorly trained conscripts. The US is in no way irrelevant to EU military affairs, but it's still the EU that's the primary counterweight to Putin's ambitions, not America. While the state of EU national militaries is mostly deplorable, I don't really see how that makes the US anything but an ally when it comes to security matters against Russia. Push comes to shove, US opinion doesn't decide if the EU goes to war. The Russian tank horde could literally drive across Europe while taking occasional potshots at Leopard 2s dead in a ditch because nobody spent money on maintaining their engines. Building a sufficiently large European tank horde would take years so the only quick response would be to buy surplus Abrams from America.

You answered your own question, and yeah, countries absolutely can get into stupid slapfights about 3.68km² of land.

Rincewinds posted:Goods news everyone, Putin, in his eternal wisdom, have decided to make a new national guard consisting of a few hundred thousands troops with heavy equipment, who will be answerable only to the president and with a license to kill without warning. These troops will deal with terrorists, but also maintain public order in case of large scale protests, and it's a complete coincidence that this happens a few months before the elections.

Apparently as soon as Macierewicz heard about the plane crashing, he went straight into panic mode and was making GBS threads his pants that the ruskies are going to assassinate him next. This was before anything was known to the public or the people waiting for the polish delegation at the Katyń cemetery, his mind went straight from plane crash to russian assassination plot. Poland: leading the world in idiot kings with insane ministers, without actually being a monarchy.
