  1. Preston, I think you are giving WAY too much credit to Rusi here. This is a British think tank that’s using the British current military system and the British current way of thinking. The UK military is absolutely unprepared to fight almost anything other than an invasion of the UK at this point in time. They’ve been suffering decades of attrition, underfunding and misappropriation. This model doesn’t understand the force that NATO is able to field rapidly, using solely its active duty personnel. It doesn’t comprehend the strength that the reserve systems of its members bring to the fight, and it doesn’t comprehend that all of its member states do have systems of call-ups/drafts in place, if needed. It doesn’t understand that NATO fights on land, in the air, at sea, in space and in cyberspace, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. It doesn’t comprehend how nuclear weapons play into a war. In very short, it simply doesn’t comprehend. The US alone has over two million military service members. This doesn’t even include the US Coast Guard (but should) or inactive reserve. So this isn’t just about the high technologies. It’s also simply a large number of personnel.
