Wait a second. Are you seriously posting this? The Russian military has seemed pretty potent these last couple months. The SU-35 s are really phenomenal pieces of machinery. I read the article and the author is a European Council on Foreign Relations shill. I'd be willing to believe that they were impotent if I hadn't seen such contrary results. They are CRUSHING all opposition in Syria. They have advanced EM jamming capabilities and a TON of conventional armaments. They have never spent anything close to what USSA spends on military, but their costs are much more manageable. They churn out a SU-35 for around $40 million whereas we've spent $1.5 trillion on the F35 fighter and its still not working right. They may spend less but they certainly get a LOT more value for money.

Nukes that are 30+ years old? The Russian military has been hilariously underfunded since the 70's, and maintaining a nuclear arsenal isn't cheap. I'd be amazed if any of them can still fly, let alone hit us.
Plus, if Putin wants to act like a spoiled brat and nuke everyone because he isn't getting his way, he can go right ahead and do it. Put up or shut up, Vladdy.

Hey Amalek, what's my real name? Have you figured it out from that useless IP you got yet?

You are confusing me with that Kike that keeps impersonating me and threatening lawsuits against Voat in order to defame me.

It's strong enough. They'd probably lose WW3 handily if we had it as a military battle, but tanks and soldiers won't see the front in that conflict.

+1 from me. That piece is definitely Council on Foreign Relations propaganda. Anyone that thinks Russian military power is not impressive is deluded.
