The title should be "EU vs Russia: Will it Ever Happen"

That way, instead of arguing about it for pages and pages, we could just have a 1 reply thread. The answer, "No"

heheh ConstantineK ...

USA China Japan EU ... all against Russia after victory sharing your mineral resources (like 10 years ago) ;-)

Slavs are Slavs

i gave you hypothetical answer on hypothetical question- EU vs Russia war - who would win?

to be clear

If Russia is aggressor, you won`t see that other Slavs advance together with Russians and devastate western part of Europe. Even more, you can expect that Russian has many problems `traveling` via other Slavs to reach western parts of Europe. On the other side, ask great majority of Poles (ask Czechs, too) how would they react in case that some EU/German divisions enter Russia and start to devastate Russian villages, towns and infrastructure. Let`s just say, German, Franch, British... transports would need to count on `some problems` on their way to Russia.

All in all, if EU attack Russia first, Russians won`t be alone. Believe it to Serb.


Now, you can see why your comment in case with `all participated` wasn`t just a precise

Like in 1939? Wait a miniute.....they didn't come. Why was that? Oh yeh, there's no oil in Germany. So what happened? Oh that's right. Germany declared war on America in december 1941. Who was fighting Nazi Germany on their own for two years??? Oh yeh. Britain!

So when have we ever RELIED on America?

So do we!

Oh look. You contradicted yourself in the same paragraph. How many nuclear weapons do you think it will take to make the whole area un-livable for 4.5 billion years?

Again I ask. When/where was Americas help for Poland in ww2?

Yeah if we weren't betrayed by britain and others we would not be occupied.


Germany invades Poland September 1st 1939. Great Britain/France declare war on Germany September 3rd. Again I ask. When/where was America? Oh yeh, that's right, they didn't declare war on Germany, right?

If Poland had the economy of Germany we would be one of the strongest militaries in EU.


Poland doesn't need a big army. It's got the EU! the money would be better spent improving the very poor health service and investing in the education system.

No you don't!

Seanus wrote:
conscription in Poland means, according to probability, that u r gonna attract quite a lot of good soldiers.


Sorry Seanus. I was trying to keep everybody else out of this. But I can't let this one go. On the same argument that you've used your going to get a LOT of people who DON'T want to be in the army and will therfore be lousey soldiers. A professional army like the British army are always going to be better because you only have soldiers who WANT to be there!

matthias wrote:
Daffy great post. this was just a hypothetical however though unlikely I believe its still a small possibilty. Hopefully not. But I agree that that's how the next generation wars will likely be fought..


I'm only quoting this because you didn't edit HA HA...

matthias wrote:
If it was conventional forces EU would win because of greater numbers and great technology. However only if their would be political will like you said and solidarity. Not like in ww2


So your saying that the EU CAN protect Poland now?

matthias wrote:
Not like in ww2. Russia if nukes are involved.


If "nukes" are involved, then there won't be a "winner". So I guess that that means the EU CAN protect Poland without the help of America!

matthias wrote:
My point was from all of this that America is the only country that can offer Poland any sort of military security


Like they did in '39....Oh that's right! No oil, so you didn't come to help. Did you?

EU vs Russia war - who would win?

Let me put it this way - if I was taking bets on who would win a war like this, you would have to lay $10 to win $1 if you were going to bet on Russia to win. EU would've paid 10 to 1 adds.
EU are nothing but a bunch of pussies, they have no chance to win any wars, especially against a bully and a warmonger like Russia.

Germany - for Russia

this is controversial to me and can be problem for Serbian public in general

Germany is deeply involved in actions against Serbs on the Balkan. Lusatian situation, i won`t even comment. German pressure on Slavic West and South is traditional, from time to time they even manage to endanger Slavic East.

How can Serbs rely on Russia if Russia collaborate with Germany? Germany should be blocked to interfere in Slavic interests, stop to germanize Slavs.

I`m afraid that Russian-German collaboration on the long run can harm Russian-Serbian relations. BDW, its not pleasant to Serbs when we see destine of Poles between Germany and Russia. To underline- while i understand German intentions, i am deeply confused with Russian deals with them against Poland. Following that logic- Serbia can come on `menu`, same as Poland.

Can you please enlighten me, ConstantineK? What`s all that game?

It's not Russia who has been actively involved NONE STOP in one war or another since Korea in the 1950's! It's the USA! so the term "the pot calling the kettle black" springs to mind.

If Russia was to attack Poland. America wouldn't get involved. There's no oil in Poland!

Nothing. Some people just like to point out America's flaws...Forgetting that every country has them. I'd like to point out that even though America is consistantly involved in something it's not always some we initiated or something that was our problem, just assisting where needed/asked/wanted.

And as previously stated :) .... EU would probably win.

No proble I wish they were bullies at the end of WW2, if Russia respects Polands independence there won't be an issue.

U have a good point hairball. I was just doing a logistics operation that u could get good soldiers through sheer numbers but many don't want to join. Conscription has no place in the days of democracy. I'd be furious if I had to live under it. No damn fool is gonna tell me that I have to fight if I'm a pacifist. There are so many other worthwhile pursuits in life than shooting at things. I wouldn't fight for situations that I didn't cause, even more so when greedy politicians brought it about. Fook them, I'd rather go to prison than have my self-conferred right of pacifism taken away. I therefore revise my posting above.

More and more people are rightly saying that nobody would really win this war. A somewhat simple but true quote of Bush's, "It's negative to think about blowing each other up. That's not a positive thought. That's a Cold War thought. That's a thought when people were enemies with each other."

You're absolutely right. The question in the subject was more of a joke, while everybody is taking it seriously now.
The fact is that Russia is on the way back to be a world's super-power again due to the energy crisis, so it would be nice if Europe and the rest of us learn to live with them in peace.

Good point again Celinski, while we may privately suspect Russia of doing some unsavoury things, we don't look for ways to take pops at them. One person does this in America to a high level, and he is Russian (Azerbaijani). None other than Garry Kasparov. He went to the EU to expose Russia. They appreciate his candid judgments but remain cautious. Kasparov had the potential to add fuel to the flames but he accepts that he will have to do it from afar. He did the right thing in not contesting the leadership of Putin. He wasn't allowed to attend the EU-Russia summit and is fighting a battle from the sidelines. He doesn't seem to see the prospect of his assassination by the KGB.

Thanks joe, for your great analysis. Wow so in depth that I now see the light. Please EU doesn't have enough nukes to destroy Russia, but Russia has enough nukes to destroy EU. As we talk about winner we mean who will inflict more damage. Yes both sides will not be winners in the sense your talking about but your just planning games with the question. Its a hypothetical: pretend their is a war declared, pretend that both sides will use full force that they have at their disposal and pretend winner is declared by the one who inflicts the most damage. Now answer the question.
