Russia realy isnt a threat. Their military tech is 30-50 years out of date, their missle tech is a good 20 years old now, they have no ABM systems, no laser tech, no real other tech.
Even in the convetional war field, their tanks are outdated, their guns are outdated, their planes...even the Mig-31 is wayyyyyy outdated by the F-22 and the Joint atack fighter. Thats not even looking at the JMS, the older but still in the air F-15 eagle air superiority platform, or the navy's F-18 air superiority intersceptors.
no...the big threat in the world is china, THEY we should be watching close.

I would love to get a gun.
Seems like it's always time to worry about Russia.
Not to hijack, but your post reminded me - you can legally drive/ride quads and dirtbikes in Sweden - I have seen so many quads with license plates it's wacky.
USA may be speaking a Cantonese in the future but I think I will be speaking Swedish.

it doesn't matter what their military has, as long as a nation has nuclear capabilities they are one nation that is a a threat if you go to war with. besides, right now is probably one of the best times to pick on the US. presidential elections coming up, bad economy, military has been at war the last 6 years.

1)Russia's nuclear ICBM system is antiquated, there is doubt it could even launch let alone target correctly. Keeping in mind they own NO active GPS or working modern military satellites.
2)China has a HUGE vested interest in keeping the US up and working. Over half china's monetary base is planted on US bonds. We go down, they go down.
3)The fact we have been at war for 6 years makes us MORE dangerous not less. It means our troops are battle hard, and our equipment is in top fighting form.
...Im sorry but are you really that ignorant of world politics and military systems?

But as I pointed out, with china now in world politics, russia isnt going to push the issue. Unlike the US, china will go to war with russia over the drop of a hat (they hate each other), and china would smash the former soviet union like a toy.

Thanks...
*facepalms* you aware of our kill to death ratio? we kill 100-300 of theirs for every ONE of ours they get. I would say its working quite well.

Poland will serve as our forward base of operations should we go to war with Russia.
We can set up a few THAAD sites and that should deter most launches.
Meanwhile we will have bombing runs around the clock until Moscow is rubble.
My fear is not a direct Russia - US attack, either arming militants in developing nations to rally against us or a suitcase nuke. Either scenario could cripple us to where we may not be able to fight a war.
