If they can't take Ukraine with the US providing the bare minimum amount of aid the Republicans will allow, I'm curious what they think they can accomplish against our best efforts in an actual war.

I'm not curious at all. Let's just stop this shit already.

How unlikley is it they've held back at minimum one airplane and a big ass bomb (atomic, nuclear, etc, I have no idea) for the USA? Best effort or not, if one thing gets through some people are fucked. Some is more then none and that's too much.

On the other hand the United States has been politically gridlocked for the last 15 years because of Russian puppets. For some of us that's been as good as a death sentence.

Absolutely - and I bet with Trump in office he could almost taste the win.

Your best effort? Nuclear armageddon. Both europe and russia will be wiped off of world map. US might be able to survive but some towns will be Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

That is with your best effort, so save your fucking bullshit.
