Sadly you're right.

If America is ever attacked by Russia, we will lose because of our
weakling youth. I blame it all on those goddamn cordless phones and

I feel your pain, bro. But it's the same appalling situation outside the
US too.

How will America be attacked by Russia? Landing craft packed with with
soldiers with guns, landing at Malibu beach?

No! Polls packed with MORONS incited to vote for a fellow MORON by Russia. No one really cares to occupy this wasteland, but they do care to see it cease to exist, and that calls for more of a self-destruction strategy.

You people need to learn some history. The state of health of the British population in the WWI era was appalling. Your food supply was of very low quality, and full of adulterants and pathogens. British youth were small, sickly and underdeveloped.
"Almost 40 percent of the volunteers were rejected for medical reasons. Malnutrition was widespread in society, working class 15‑year‑olds had a mean height of 160 cm, while the upper class was 171 cm.[10]"
And the bar for rejection by the military was pretty low!
Do you think swine flu killed so many people because of its virulence? Don't believe it! It killed so many people because of government mismanagement, military mismanagement, and near criminal ignorance and incompetence of authority. Not at all dissimilar to the what's happening today with global warming, except the death toll will be MUCH greater.

My car broke down on the freeway. I had my two teenage sons come to

7mph. The speed limit is 60. The minimum speed is 45. I told them they
must push the car at least 45 mph. They could not do it.

What the hell is wrong with today's youth? When I was their age I could

Russia would be perfectly peaceful if simply left alone. The problem lies
with Globalists who want to impose their mad and dangerous views on how
the country should be run. Globalists have no time and no respect for the
concept of sovereignty and want the entire planet to dance to their tune.
A great many countries have or have had leaders that have sold their
citizens out to these vile bastards. Thanks to - and *only* to - the
internet, more and more people are discovering this self-anointed shadow
world government for themselves and greater awareness among the citizens
of the countries thusly afflicted is the only thing that can save us and
roll back the plan.

Numerical superiority and surprise is what wins individual battles, for
the most part.

In the movies the goodies routinely fight off 5 or 10 to 1 of the baddies.

In the real world even 2 to 1 of evenly matched forces is devastating to
the side without numerical superiority, in all situations except when
the side at a disadvantage is in an extremely solid defensive position.

In the movies 10 guys defending an Old West tavern can fight off 20
attackers. In the real world the 10 guys inside get wiped out with the
20 guys attacking suffering minimal casualties.

The Soviets didn't win because e.g. the T-34 was such a great battle
tank by the standards of its time (it wasn't) or the Soviet soldier was
that much more tenacious or "tough" than their German counterpart (they
weren't.)

They just went into most fights on the Eastern front with at least 2 to
1 in numbers, and often close to 3 to 1.

The Iran-Iraq war wasn't fought much different than WWI. Jets and tanks
made appearances, from time-to-time.

The Rwandan war in the 1990s was fought mostly with knives, axes,
machetes and baseball bats, about a half-million dead over a couple months

That was when they were still Communist, though. Since 1992 they have
only sought to defend their own borders against Nato encroachment from
the West. Remember it was Nato who broke their promise in this respect,
not the Russians.

It has a lot to do about motivation.

If you are defending your own turf compared to a superior attacker in
which the attacking solders are more or less forced into the army with
political kommissars pointing a pistol at your back forcing them to
attack.

Solders which have only two options, being killed ny enemy fire from
the front or being shot in the back by kommissars are not well
motivated.

In such situations even a 3 to 1 superiority in both troops and losses
are possible for years of fighting.

In the movies 10 guys defending an Old West tavern can fight off 20
attackers. In the real world the 10 guys inside get wiped out with the
20 guys attacking suffering minimal casualties.

Not sure about that, but I do know Britain doesn't have a democracy any
more. That much is obvious, more than 3 years after that Referendum
they're still hitched up to the EUSSR.

Cursitor Doom does like to keep his arguments simple.

Britain is a representative democracy and has more or less worked out how to manage the democratic election of representatives. They are less practiced with referendums, and let Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage mislead the more gullible fraction of the population (which clearly includes Cursitor Doom) with a barrage of lies.

The business of actually leaving the EU has to be managed by parliament, and it has had enough sense to reject a disastrous no-deal Brexit, while not liking the terms of the deal that May was able to negotiate.

In so far a representative democracy has been able to stave off the destructive consequences of a badly run referendum, the UK does seem to have a working democracy. Boris Johnson may silly enough to undermine that.
