In a recent appearance on Russia’s state-run television, Russian political scientist Sergey Mikheyev suggested that the country’s “empire” should grow to encompass three American states.
“I want the Russian empire with Alaska, Hawaii, California, Finland, and Poland,” he said, as translated by Gerashchenko for the clip he shared. “Although Poland and Finland are so stinky, I’m not sure, to be honest. We’ll clean them.”
They should start with Georgia, Tennessee, and Louisiana. The red necks would grab every gun they have , be the shit show of the century.
No they wouldn’t. Because the Orange Turd would tell them that it’s okay and to just go with it.
i fully disagree. they would for 2 reasons:
the rednecks wouldn’t put up with some foreign nation showing up in the south
and
Trump would just turn around and claim that he didn’t want this and ask the rednecks to get involved.
or another way to put this

Russia doesn’t have the naval, air, and amphibious forces required to do an invasion of the US to the point that they’d be fighting a land war in the first place. Doing that entails winning naval and air control adequate to move amphibious forces in.
This article is from a while back, but has a guy at Jane’s assessing that the aggregate militaries of the world wouldn’t be sufficient.

I don’t think most countries have invested in “projecting” power very far. I do agree there probably isn’t logistics enough anywhere to handle it. However, if you start with Mexico and build your armies over years, and somehow US doesn’t notice or doesn’t intervene, now you have a land war
“So we get to pick up arms and kill anyone we like?”
“As long as they’re Russian forces, yes.”
“And we won’t get in trouble for that?”
“No. This situation is precisely why 2A exists. It’s very clear.”
“Ooooooh, now I get it.”
Except for Atlanta, those states are currently welcoming Russian control with open arms
