My personal belief is that the quality of the Russian military is not all it is cracked up to be, and that the Poles are not Georgia. I suspect that if we flew air cover and provided CAS, the Poles could hold their own, especially since the Russians are short on strategic projection, and would have to come through Lithuania, Belarus, or the Ukraine, none of which are likely to look upon this favorably.

Just my .02, YMMV.

I personally agree with Reaper....The Russian military is not what it once was! "woof,woof" is all that they can do right now....
