I would like to ask a question:
Why do Nations (like Serbia in the war against NATO) do not strike back?
I found the article about how US Marine General Paul van Ripen in "Millenium Challenge '02" sank two thirds of the US Navy in the Gulf in unconventional warfare.
I will use the war against Serbia as base for my questions.
Everybody knows that every code can be cracked but General van Ripen used motorcycles to send messages. So why did the Serbs did not make a fuss about a very secret base in a certain area in transmissions. And there is a lot of sensitive material stored.
Now if I had been the CO of the Serbs I would have put bunkers and remotely controlled weapon stations in the valley by the thousands.
And when NATO planes appear to bomb then they meet SAM alley. I would not fire one or two SAMs at a plane - I would fire forty. Then I would wait for the inevitable rescue mission and bag me some more pilots. Remember: forty SAMs per plane.
Then I would have a very good bargaining chip for peace talks.
And if no planes come?
Send transmissions that nuclear materials are turned into a dirty bomb in this valley. This would draw NATO fighters faster than you can say "Hello". They would do anything to stop it from happening. Or you can say you have them. And then its a whole new game. Just remember: When North Korea announced their possession of nuclear devices nobody asked if dirty or functioning. Since then everybody, including the mighty USA mollycoddles the North Koreans.
The second step involves the "Tu quoque" defense of World War 2. When a german Admiral was acused of warcrimes because of unrestricted submarine warfare. it was Admiral Nimitz who stated that the US was using the same type of warfare against Japan from the first second of the war.
So, if NATO is bombing power stations of Serbia, Serbia is free to bomb power stations in any NATO state.
If I had been the CO of Serbia I would have sent entire companies of troops to every NATO state, disguised as refugees. And once there they would in full uniform attack any power station, power line, freeway and so on. Uniforms you can buy in any so called NATO / military surplus shop. And weapons: If I remember my time in the army, you could walk into a german army base at saturdays and walk off with the weapons without much problem.
And before anybody accuses me of butchery: I would order my troops to engage in phony war. If they fire at civilians they should fire blanks. And one or two snipers should fire real bullets but make sure nobody is hit but all are forced into cover.
And if an attack is directed at a nuclear power station they would be ordered to break off once the system is shut down. You see, I expect as a security measure that every nuclear power station is equipped with a very fast shutdown system to prevent nuclear material falling into the hands of madmen/terrorists. And once this system is used you need weeks and heavy machinery to access the nuclear material, let alone producing power again.
This would make live difficult in Europe.
The third step would be used mainly against my own home country: Germany
The reasons:
Germany had its spine removed after WWII (Remember JCS 1067?)
In Germany the armed forces can not make an oath taking ceremony without heavy police protection (thanks to the anti fascists), should not wear their uniforms outside the base and may not be used as police force (the spectre of the SS). Not to mention: Since WWII the germans do not want to go to war, "No Blood for Oil" remember?
The germans have no longer the fighting spirit of their ancestors. Their willpower is brittle. Just mention the warcrimes and germans will cower.
And I do not think that the german police or former Border police (now the Federal police) are a match for a fully equipped military force.
And: both are combatants and according to the rules of warfare my forces may engage them without commiting a war crime.
You remember "The A-Team"? They always fired their rifles, made some holes in the wall but nobody gets hurt. Do the same.
Storm a building, assemble all people in one place. Meanwhile my expert would prepare the area and then the people are moved to the right place. A salvo of blanks over their heads and then tell them that this will end when Germany withdraws from the war and no NATO country may use its facilities in Germany. An then my troops would disappear to repeat it a few days later somewhere else.
Done a couple of times and at the same time the German government would be told that if they let slip that blanks were used then next time real bullets will be used should do it.
