Roy,
“One AWACS, two KC-135’s, four Wild Weasels, four F-22’s, some F-16’s and F-15’s. Russian tanks and vehicles all gone.”

You’re exaggerating the effectiveness of our air power, if you think that is all that would be required. Remember that they would not have time to “shape the battlefield”, and that the Russians have the significant advantage of fighting “locally”. And the Russians have high-quality anti-air defenses, despite what happened in OIF. This would not be a “turkey shoot” like many of you seem to think.
