A question will be if the Russians will have learned the lesson the Iraqi's failed to heed before the first Gulf War. Up until the start of operations the Iraqi Army could have sweeped down out of Iraq and Kuwait and taken Saudi Arabia and put everything we had put in out right fast. They gave us time to prepare. Would the Russians be that dumb to allow us time to ship all that gear over? I have a feeling they wouldn't. There would be suspicious sinking's, accidents, Power outages, industrial sabotage at ports, rail lines, etc. No matter what happens it won't be up to the US to be the leading edge, but the members of NATO inside Europe. The chronically undermanned, under equipped NATO members in Europe.
