Some days it doesn't pay to play in the military spending game...What will the wily old Pootin' do to build his flagging military muscle?

Russia unveils new 'masterpiece' tank — and it immediately breaks down




According to the Associated Press, there was an attempt made to tow it, but that failed as well. After 15 minutes, it was able to resume moving under it’s own power.

But the Russians are spinning the story, as the Russians usually do.

No, that wasn’t a mechanical breakdown. It was all part of the plan.

While the tank was stranded on the cobbled Red Square, the presenter commenting over the PA system said it was part of the training to “evacuate weaponry” and had been planned.

Right.

So the next time you’re stuck in rush hour traffic and there’s a stalled car in the center lane, just remember, it’s all part of that person’s plan.

Just don’t expect Russian President Vladimir Putin — or his troops — to ride on in and save the day.

Every new Russian and Chinese weapon is a supposedly a superweapon. Until it isn't.

The USA hawks play up the superweapon angle as well, to justify more military spending in the USA. I remember back when the T-72 tank was the bogeyman of choice.
