If it turned into a hot war it wouldn't just be the US against Russia... It would be some of Western Europe and some of Eastern Europe and the US against Russia.. The Eastern Europeans especially do NOT like or trust the Russians.

As for would the season matter.. I'm sure it would to some extent, but not nearly as much as it did in WW II and for Napoleon. Drones and todays air forces don't really care about the weather.

If it was a hot war, the question would be can we invade russia during nuclear winter

Logistics and an ability to fight might be hampered by weather more than anything else. And this would reflect on both sides in any confrontation.

zee germans were foiled by communists russia's backward ways more that winter. that is, if they had built roads (and if their trains had the same gauge) the world would be very different i think

OP's link is pretty pointless. Its a mindless calculation based on numerical values, as opposed to qualitative ones.

Yes. (assuming China stayed out)

We'd be better off if we went in through Alaska and seized Vladivostok. We'd have a much easier time supplying our troops in Eastern Siberia via our massive Pacific Rim infrastructure than the Russians with their easily blown up land-lines.

Also the open spaces of Siberia are ideally suited for our type of war-fare.

Have the NATO hold the line in the West while we f**k them in the ass out East.

I wonder if China could beat us in a conventional war? industrial output says...maybe.

be like Werhmact vs Red Army all over again.
