haha, “combat-credible” forces were quite sufficient to terrorise and destroy Yugoslavia, when it was necessary. It was never close to zero, quite the opposite.

- bell-cot 2y agoGlancing at Wikipedia, to compare the Area, Population, GNP, etc. of Russia and Yugoslavia...yeah. Charitably put, the latter was within 2-ish orders of magnitude of the former. Were the Soviets also cowering and whispering "OMG, we're next!!!" back in 1983, when the US invaded Grenada? After all, there were (given sufficient stretch) actual Soviet forces defeated in that case.
- jesterson 2y agoIf you do like cherry picking numbers you look at, you may find it extremely inconvenient to compare combined nato forces, which you have dismissed as “near zero” and russian forces. That makes the point but not the comparison of Yugoslavia to anything.
