Russia v Georgia

Russia's stated military policy is to use nuclear weapons against nations with greater military technology

even if one believe your claim about France, England and Germany, there is no reason to remove nuclear arms from the equation, which GREATLY tip the favor for Russia

You have to take out nukes in the equation of any war now because the use of such would be as detrimental to the country who uses them. Nuclear arms are way beyond the Hiroshima bomb. No country is dumb enough to use them.

also, France, the who has the largest army of the 3 you mentioned (and of any NATO country excluding USA, and of EU nations excluding Turkey) has roughly a quarter the size of the Russians (active troops). Looking at total troops, it jumps to almost 1/5.

Size doesn't really matter now, and Russian numbers are also inflated by the government.

[B]plus, France is not America. America's military policy is to stay at least a generation ahead of all nations, meaning that France's technology is probably not that much better than the Russians.

[B]Wiki lays out the basics of each wing of both the French and Russian militaries. Just having a quick look, France would be ****ED

I'll take a Kalashnikov over a Famas anyday, at least when I used to play Rainbow Six online.

The Eurofighter, which France is going to order, is comparable to the Raptor in terms of air superiority, Mirage's and Rafales are comparable to their Russian counterparts, and the Leclerc is in greater numbers and is a better tank than T-90s. There's also the better training given to pilots and tank crews.

I wonder if this Georgia thing is just an excuse for the USA to have a crack at Russia.

Russia is helping Iran & N. Korea build there Nuclear facility´s which can´t be going down too well.

And with this role reversal "cuban crisis" situation, ie the USA deploying those anti missile, missile´s in Poland right next to Russia, it all seems like a barrel of gunpowder ready to blow.

Screwed in many ways:-
:- People will die in large numbers, mostly poor sods who have no choice.
:- the economy in the world will go the the dogs.
:- The US and its allies military are already stretched and Russia knows it
