More like the mega steroid users long after they stopped using steroids. The army today is nothing like what it was during the Gulf War. And it was a coalition of like 6-7 countries, all of which are either no longer friendly towards the USA or have armies that are now completely pathetic.
The US makes like 20 tanks a year, and they aren't new tanks. They're refurbished shit from years ago. The US couldn't field 1000 of them, much less multiple thousands.
And this is exactly the case across every single military system except the space satellite and drone stuff.
And Iraq wasn't occupied during the Gulf War, despite there being like a million guys involved in the conflict. Most of the damage was done by a massive bombing campaign due to supreme air superiority.
Air superiority that wouldn't exist today against Russia in any shape or form. Not only because the planes no longer exist to achieve this (you have 1/2 as many bombers as there were in the early 90s), but because Russia has one of the best integrated air defense systems in the world. Literally only 4-5 countries in the entire world have systems like this.
If you can't use bombers (of which you have like 100 to begin with), you need to use men (which no longer want to enlist so you don't have enough), or tanks (which you don't have in sufficient battle-ready numbers) with artillery (which is wildly depleted after all the shells were given to Ukraine).
The only thing that would work is tactical nukes, but good luck there considering Russia has better and newer nuclear everything.
