Scandinavian countries as well:(
Flying with transponder turned off as the Russian plane do is inappropriate, serious and dangerous. There is a direct threat to the security of the international airspace.
This is what happened 3 mars 2014 when a SAS flight was on a collision course with a Russian military Aircraft. Only 100 feet from collision!

Jens Stoltenberg revises the number of Russian aircraft intercepted by NATO scrambles in 2014. FOUR times as many last year as 2013.

Haven't followed any of these events I'm ashamed to say, but wouldn't Putin make a lovely candidate for my "successful sociopath" category? :)

What do you guys think, does he make the cut? Seems fruit-loops to me...

I dont realy believe a majority of Russian citizens agree with Russias military tactics and political polls are most likely rigged to show major support. Most russian citizens, I believe, are subject to scare tactics to show support to the reporters covering politics, but this is far from the truth. Putin is trying to resort to the only thing he was programmed to, the KGB tactics. Thats why I believe the russian citizens are still showing support for him, they fear retaliation. Look what they have done to the band "Pussy Riot" in an effort to scare people and it largly worked.

Then look at what the EU and the US do because of cold war era laws, countries like EU, US, others, We discriminate against Russian women by not allowing them into our countries unless they have important assets in Russia.

That alone directly prevents families from traveling to our countries to show their support of our views, which are most likely theirs also. They are trapped.

We, US, EU, etc.., all need to change equaly in order for Russia to change internaly.

Yes, in the US it is defined in law that has not been repealed yet, when I find the link I will post it. In thee mean time, this wikipedia article explains it in non legal detail.

I didn't say the article was current, lol. I meant the laws that were passed because of this, still have yet to be repealed. When I find the link to this law, which will be from the US Government Printing Office (GPO), I will post it.

I just read it a few months ago, in 2014, as I was researching something else, may take me a day or two to remember exactly where it was.

Military tactics? Should it not be military strategy?
We even do not know the political strategy that Putin has set up.
Russian citizens are not informed of military actions anymore...

I'll no longer be posting any replies to this thread, it seams you all are just critisizing comments/replies based on anti american views you've come to accept and feed upon when you see the country flag under a username.

Enjoy your bickering.

Bear in mind also that Putin got divorced last year after 31 years of marriage. No idea if there is anyone else.

Of course you do. Because when a TRUE far left DICTATOR (one who forced his way back into power and another term by creating a new office, the office that really holds power) acts like he's a centrist capitalist and pokes fun at Obama, you'll ignore the contradictions and love him because he picks on Obama, just like you. Nice bedfellow you have. ;) Does he look as good in person without the shirt? ;)

Umm not quite.

A strategy would be that to win this fight we need the take that hill. The tactics would be to attack from the West where the enemy defences are weakest.

Bear in mind also that Putin got divorced last year after 31 years of marriage. No idea if there is anyone else.

Not quite either. Both examples you give refer to the Operational level. Strategy refers to the general, high level planning of a war. This includes measures taken at home, as well as the planning of general offensives in certain areas. The operational level is sort of the mid level. When we are talking about an offensive, what are the objectives that need to be reached in order to call the offensive a success, and how are those objectives to be completed. Tactics refers to the low level, immediate measures taken in order to win immediate, individual battles by units.

According to the Russian Commissioner for Children's Rights, Scandinavian social services take away children from the families of Russian immigrants without any reasonable explanation to compensate for the population decline.

You are wriggling!!! As you do :-)

Country A declares war on Country B.

Campaign

We need to win this war. In addition to firepower we will need other measures. How do we do it?

Strategy

By taking that town, then that area, that bridge, and finally that hill.

Tactics

For that hill we will attack from the left flank as their defences are weakest there.

No one wages a war like that.

I'll just let Wikipedia do the talking :)

Strategy

Operational Level

Tactics

Changes in philosophy and technology have been reflected in changes to military tactics; in contemporary military science tactics are the lowest of three planning levels: (i) strategic, (ii) operational, and (iii) tactical. The highest level of planning is strategy, how force is translated into political objectives, by bridging the means and ends of war. The intermediate level, operational level, the conversion of strategy into tactics deals with formations of units. In the vernacular, tactical decisions are those made to achieve the greatest, immediate value, and strategic decisions are those made to achieve the greatest, overall value, irrespective of the immediate results of a tactical decision.

Exactly, and what do you think the Russian Bankers are saying to Putin now? Remember, Russia have increased their defence budget enormously recently. Their military budget haven't been this big since the end of the so-called "Cold War"

That doesn't mean much. Even now, there are other countries that spend more on their military than Russia. Furthermore, just spending money on an army doesn't necessarily mean you have a good army. Discipline is meh and the army is generally run by incompetent drunks. And still most of the material is of sub par quality.

The real threat with the Russians is that they have a rather unpredictable guy having access to one of the largest nuclear forces in the world.
