    Ok. That makes sense. But wouldn’t it have beenmore accurate to claim that the US (and it’s allies) “could take Moscowin days”?

      Only if we’re also assuming the none NATO allies of the US are being considered in the equation. I guess it would be most accurate to say that The US (with no mention of allies) could take Moscow

        Yeah, that’s where Isdisagree. Although I’m no military stategist. I simply don’t think that a nuclear power the size of Russia could be conquered that easily without nuclear retaliation.

          without nuclear retaliation.

          Obviously but the conversation was about conventional military strength
