I absolutely, postively agree.
The Russian people are some of the toughest SOB's in history. Let's say for a moment that we won a war, there is no way in hell we'd of been able to occupy and keep such a large country, with all her proud citizens, under control for any period of time. There's just no way.
The only way to defeat a country like Russia would be complete annihilitation of it's citizenry. I think the same goes for countries like China and the US itself.
