Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.

Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...

Stalin got Karelian Peninsula and Viborg and that was enough. Land invasion from Finland made no sense 60 yrs ago and makes even less sense in 2020s. Finland isn't that important strategically even when it comes to Baltic Sea. U need to control Danish straits to control the Baltic. Warsaw Pact had an invasion plan of Denmark for this one reason. Likewise Mediterranean Sea was no priority for Stalin. SU wasn't a naval power back in the day.

Russia and Soviet Union follow that tactics for many decades, Stalin became a huge WWII winner because of that. NATO can't really afford a war of attrition or any open war against above par army right now. And Putin knows that. At least the nonsense about nuclear bombs is over. That threat was never going to materialise since Ukraine isn't that important to be casus belli for WWIII.

I know that but Russia is more than Moscow and St. Petersburg. The Asian part is light years behind even former communist bloc like Poland or Czechia - enlisting in the army is really a way to get some money, in the wealthy democracies that wasn't the case since at least 1918

Most of Russia lives in poverty and has gotten used to it. That's what the wealthy democratic countries don't understand...

need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them? Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...

It's waaaay too expensive & inconvenient. Basically WOG minus the bobsleigh track & indoor arena for figure skating/hockey(which is the easy part of Olympic bid). Just won't happen anytime soon. Winter sports are too facility dependant and the entire alpine skiing requires a separate venue.

had a penalty saved in the first half vs

Ida Lien (biathlon) - back surgery - out for the season.

Two pages of bitching about biathlon and Giacomel will get a win

A bit mini Tora Berger in the making? If she stops having these 3+ miss races she might go on a rampage

Bened might don't even finish on the podium. Yikes!

Passler with one miss but should be enough for a PB result? Jeanmonnot & JBB one miss too and Bened probably steals the win unless she blows 14 secs lead...

@copravolleyPassler in the mix for a Top 5 finish in LGB mass start... last shooting left..
