But isn't that all part of defense, make every one think you are stronger than you are, at the moment no one is really willing to test Russias strength and that in its self is a win cause it buts time to take the 'work in progress' and finish it.

How is it a bluff? They still have a huge fleet of subs, a new generation fighter, an army of tanks, a well armed standing army, and a powerful ally in China. When did they suddenly become weak? I must have missed the disarmament.

I'm not saying it is, I was responding specifically to what the article is saying. That's all. I don't know if it's a Bluff but if it is, it's a good one and they are playing it very well. And I'm just pointing that, that would be a good part of defense. Well when your enemy doesn't know what your strength is

Work in progress? Is that what you're calling it? Russia's economy hasn't been this bad since 08. They just had to cut their military budget last year. Its going to grow by .8% this year. Putin has the edge now, but he is burning through money and assets at a rate that just can't be sustainable.
