Really? It takes that long for a rocket to fly to Russia? Don't Baltics have some groups of American soldiers, strategically placed right in the harm's way, and wouldn't Pentagon react on harm to them? Won't NATO honor its obligations to defend its members? Does it REALLY take 24 hours for UK arms to reach Russia as well?
- jawbone3 10y agoWell no, if you want to start nuklear war over the baltics the ballistic missiles can get there in a few minutes. But air power is the only thing that can get there fast, and the russians have actual anti air systems... And anyway, an airforce can't stop a ground invasion, only an army can do that. The us does have som forces in place, but not enought to matter against a determined invasion, and since russia attacking the baltics pretty much is open war with the us, any plausible scenario involves a determined invasion.
