Russia Had a Little Test Today

[eagle1462010]

The US shouldn't screw with the Russian Bear, for the sake of humanity...

The MAD principle still applies today..............

Russia is flexing it's muscles to see whether the world will blink as a policy decision.

That response from the world will determine whether or not Putin will seize the Ukraine.

You archaic neocons amuse me.

You archaic neocons amuse me.

Neo cons are soooo early 2000s hun. The Neo-Lib crew is in charge now, and Ukraine coup and the Russian escalation are on Obama's watch. The only neo-con near this mess is Robert Kagan, who is married to Victoria Nuland, who is one of the engineers behind the coup in the state department. Yea, the neo-cons support you guys, but you are in the lead right now. Ironically a new cold war has been ignited by a liberal progressive president, but because he was born of a single mom and is a half black bisexual, it is all super fabulous.

Quick! Someone tell Ted Cruz to give a speech telling Putin to tear down those walls!

Heck with tearing down walls, I would settle for building a fence. But thats another thread

-Geaux

A fence with backed by a wall of .50 Cal machine guns. Slapping wrists just doesn't seem to be working.

obama is still reducing our military and capabilities. Russia would not dare attack a country as weak as obama is making us into. Would he?

The US can kick half of the world's ass, including China and Russia, without blinking much.

You neo-cons just don't have the traction anymore.

With most of America's tech companies currently working in China FOR China it won't take long before "their" technology is equal to ours. But standing armies are also a force to be reckoned with and their standing army is more than twice the size of America's:

China's Active force = 2,285,000
China's Army including reserves = 7,054,000

America's Active force = 1,429,995
America's force including reserves = 2,291,910

List of countries by number of military and paramilitary personnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not saying this because I admire the Chinese military but because America had better get her crap together and recognize that China is not only about to take over as the world's number 1 economy but because she's on the verge of becoming the world's number 1 military as well.

Here's some of China's technology. I personally believe that China is a bigger threat than Russia.

They already claim the title of "the world's largest military force":

Except that our bombers are parked and not even loaded with nukes, our subs are not on station and our missile force has been cut back to the bone.

And our standing army is stationed in about every nation on earth and the ones left here aren't allowed to carry guns. What a laughing stock we must be to the armies of Mexico, the Congo, and Cuba.
