It is pretty much impossible for them to even contemplate, and none of them do. They didn't during the Cold War, still don't today. I'm sure they'd love to do it, but that's still wishful thinking, and wishful thinking never gets translated into policy.

I'm still standing by my statement.
They can attempt to invade the USA somehow even if their efforts are completely futile. I'm not saying they will ;I'm just saying that it's not impossible for them to try. |

But then that's a moot point. It's also not impossible for me to try to score with, say, Hayden Panettiere or Holly Weber. But, assuming I wanted it badly enough, the probability of success is so low that I'm not likely to waste my time trying.

Anyway, let's get back on topic to talking about the movie...
The main thing I'm curious about is what sorts of "Red" military hardware (besides small arms) we're going to see in the remake. As I'm sure y'all remember, the original film featured excellent mock-ups of Mi-24 Hinds, T-72s, BMPs, and ZSU-23/4s. Of course, now that the Cold War is over and ex-Eastern Bloc hardware has been purchased by some of the movie vehicle rental companies, it'll be interesting to see what they put in this movie. I'm expecting T-72s mocked up as T-90s, as I expect that would be an easy vismod. |

Yeah, for the Russians.
That's one of the mock-up M1s built from a Centurion. And that's kind of weird. Maybe we're supposed to assume that they captured our own equipment and re-painted it for their own use? |

Must be, on this HMMWV they just put the Chinese insignia over the American Flag

Most likely done to keep the budget down. Not a bad way to save money rather than have mock-ups.
I still can't believe they're remaking the film. |

Anyway, there are already lots of T-55s, T-62s, T-72s, BMPs, etc. available from American military vehicle rental companies. I realize that the Chinese don't use these, but the Russians would use the T-72s at least (which could be made to look like T-90s pretty easily, I should think). |
