Could be worse OP, could be a movie about the North Koreans successfully invading America, you know, North Korea, a country that barely has a navy and who's Air Force is mostly old Migs from several decades ago, a country who starts threatening their neighbors whenever their food supply runs low because their chubby leader eats too much while the rest of the country is at famine levels of hunger.
At least the original version of the movie was against the Russians while they were a super power.
Modern Warfare 2/3 where Russia not only manages to successfully invade the US, but brings it to it's knees.
Even if you set aside the fact that the US has the world's most powerful military and a heavily armed civilian population, geographically it would be virtually impossible to invade from another continent.
But fiction is fiction. And the Modern warfare trilogy was outstanding.
Well how else do you justify maintaining defense spending at 5x the next biggest military? You need a boogeyman to keep the nation spending like WW2 never ended.
Now I'm hearing there isn't enough money for Medicare or social security...
I'm old enough to remember when movies like 'Firefox' and 'The Hunt For Red October' first came out.
The US was always miles ahead of the Soviets. It was so bad that during the Reagan Era the Right had to come up with a new metric that let the Reds look tougher than they were. "Throw weight" was the measure of how big a load an ICBM could carry. Because the Russians had inferior tech, they had to build bigger missiles. Kind of how a 1700's musket had a higher caliber than an M-16. It was actually a symbol of soviet inferiority, but you'll hear people talking about it to this day.
On the other hand, it does make the player character in certain Modern Warfare/Battlefield single player campaigns mowing down Russian mooks by the dozens seem a bit more realistic 😅
All of this was apparent since Afghanistan at the very least. Probably says a lot more about the US and NATO trying to justify maintaining itself after the USSR collapsed than it does about Russia.
I don't think you have any clue what the military power of the Russians are. I bet you've watched your telly and just trust whatever you are told by western 'analysts'. Currently, Russian military is the strongest military in the world, and are winning against the third Nato backed army. Deal with it.
