Honestly speaking...

Honestly speaking, what are the chances of Russia successfully taking back Constantinople/Istanbul if they moved to annex it from Turkey?

The more I think about it the more illogical it gets. I'm pretty sure they can blow through the army (they outnumber them vastly) but Russia's been a paper tiger for a long time. I don''t think they have what it takes to commit to a long term occupation of Turkey without crashing hard. Especially with the more religiously zealous Chechens and Dagestani's chimping out in their borders.

I can't even imagine a war of such scale without nukes. It's just impossible and there is no point in discussing it.

Yep nothing to see here, Australians being retards as usual.

>the more I think about it the more illogical it gets
it was illogical at the start, you're just slow

This
You think Russia can afford a war with NATO?

> Taking back Constantinople
When did Russia own constantinople?

They use to larp as the 3rd rome.

Is this the dreaded autism that i've head so much about?

But WHY would we?

Back during Rurikovich times our they somehow got a Byzantine princess to marry, giving them a somewhat valid claim to Constantinople. Rurikovich has been a dead dynasty for a while though.

Autism

What has that to do with modern Russia which descends from the Bolshevik takeover and has declared itself their successor?

>attack a member of NATO
:^)

Its what happens when you confuse Paradox games with reality

firstly

>take it back

it was never rightfully theirs to begin with

secondly, the chance is zero, it's impossible

The last sentence of my previous post answers your question.

It would be extremely easy if the Anglos didnt feel threatened of Russia expanding its power and get in the way like always. You'd probably unite with the Turks again.

>paper tiger
Youre thinking of China.
We're a very real bear.

>has declared itself their successor
We're the successor of both

>assraped by japs

Yeah, A FEARSOME BEAR

>commie romans
imagine the gladiator arenas where you pit the rich and religious against lions

Turkey doesn't have nukes though.

>they outnumber them vastly
Turkish army is far bigger than Russian.

Чтo этoт гacтapбaйтep ceбe пoзвoляeт

>Forgetting about Georgia and Ukraine

>Turkish army is far bigger than Russian.
This Ivan drank too much windshield washer

What about them? We assraped Georgia in 5 days and took Crimea without any fight

Yeah that's why i said that desu.Based putin

But that janitor was talking about Russia's "loses"

What? I think you need to got to sleep my Australian friend.

Turkey seems to cooperate just fine with Russia nowadays so I doubt there's any need for aggression.

Bosnians are so amazing!

Shitposting. Who even needs it, LMAO. Are you from Sup Forums?

Turkish regular army consists of 410 500 men, our army is only about 270 000 men.

Turkey is member of NATO

Russia would need a casus belli to annex istanbul. They have zero claim on that city

>Turkey
>in europe

Turkey is as European as Russia is European

Ктo eщe нa кoгo зa хлeб paбoтaeт

i hope you are not serious about that.
first turkey is a nato member and russia would get destroyed if it attacks turkey.
second putin is already gagging on erdogan's cock because putin wants turkey to be friendly towards russia. and russian military is total shit without nukes.
and of course instanbul and all that region is a rightful turkish clay, they conquered it fairly (like russia conquered kaliningrad or kuril islands for example). only braindead Sup Forumstards think something like that might actually happen.

True, we are 100% Eurasian

>attacking a NATO and EU member

Great idea

>EU member
Mehmet, pls

I thought they were

life isn't a EU4 game, you imbecile

"taking" istanbul is unrealistic and pure meme. The USA who have the strongest army spend billions and billions of dollars on wars in irak and afghnistan for a shitty result. Turkey is way stronger than those 2 country combine. It's not 1700 anymore you can't conquer like in age of empires.

lol cringe.You can't delete this post :D

You do realize that if the U.S. initiated a total war scenario we could take every capital/city on the planet. Without any real problems.

Just look how quickly we took over Iraq in 2003, and that was only a small portion of our military.

Russian army is only a single man: Putin himself.

Yes, I also remember how smoothly the occupation of Iraq went.

>we could take every capital/city on the planet
stop there keyboard warrior.You can't touch countries that has nukes.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_cost_of_the_Iraq_War
with this amount of money, you could just buy a random island on the ocean and build a brand new country

I said the invasion, not the occupation you fucking dumbass.

All we'd have to do is build a shit ton of THAAD's

Turkey is a NATO member, and various NATO bases on its soil store nukes.

Constantinople is Finland
