Of all the times to not tangle with the US/Nato this is one of them. Think of all the combat tested troops from A-Stan and Iraq available to join the effort.

Which is something a lot of people forget. A lot of US/Canadian troops have spent time in Iraq/Afghanistan in real combat. How many Russians can say the same?
You can have the best training in the world, but it means absolutely nothing until you are out in the field in an actual real life operation. And the US/Canada have guys that have gone back to Iraq/Afghanistan 3-4 times.
You can't buy that kind of experience.
