(3,495 posts)7. Does anyone have any idea how many weapons we're talking about?
I mean, I know it won't HAPPEN, but, would it break down to one gun for every Ukrainian soldier? Two guns?

Wounded Bear
(58,648 posts)10. Might not be far off the mark...
Hmmm, doing the math...
400 million American guns, say 10 million AR/AK type rifles, maybe...
Ukrainian military is, what? About 3-4 million or so? So maybe 2-3 guns per soldier?
Interesting excercise, but impractical. Armies have to worry about logistics, which means ammo. Having a few million guns shipped in with widely varying ammo demands would complicate things pretty badly.
Cute excercise, though.

(3,331 posts)11. I don't think rw patriotism ever encompasses personal sacrifice
of their own toys. Their form of patriotism is just a lot of yelling, and an asinine illusion that when they bark commands at neighbors, they're relevant. Idiots to the end.
