This is very true these days.. You guys are talking about more Russian citizens being willing to die, but that dedication to your motherland won't mean shit when the bombs drop. The United States military is the most advanced on Earth by a landslide, you only need to take a look at the DOD budget to confirm this. I don't think a war against Russia or China would be "easy" or a smart thing to get into but one thing I don't doubt is that we have the capability to emerge victorious if it came down to that.
