$600 billion over 10 years is $60 billion per year, which is approximately what the Russians are spending anyways. Or do they mean to suddenly double their defense budget?
Is this anything new ? The Russians are "modernizing" their army since about the times of Peter the great.When will they learn that economy,science,art and literature is more important then guns and missiles.
Just fucking great.... Russia is upping military spending, while Finland is foreclosing whole brigades!
This is not good.
Finland will be practically defenseless in 2015, while russia will be approaching a peak in military readiness... I pray to God that Russia doesn't suffer any crisis that will push it to avert its people's attention towards weak neighbors...
@Tounushi during the cold war we had 25 thousand tanks on the border with finland which was not a nato member, there is no reason to attack finland or anyone else
Then explain soviet involvement in Afghanistan, a country that had nothing to do with the cold war.
Russia has been an empire bent on expansion and the growth of its own power ever since Muscovy. Whenever there's a chance for the country to develop in a positive and peaceful manner, someone hijacks it and leads it down the imperialist path again. The most obvious lost chances being Alexander II's death, Kerensky's government and how Yeltsin ended his presidency.
@Tounushi afghanistan bordered pakistan and ussr lost pakistan to america, it was a struggle for global influence, we have enough land and resources, plus attacking finland will gain nothing,
Why is Putin backing Bashar Al Assad? This fool Assad is an embarrasment to Russian Civilization and its humane Orthodox Christian values! Yet, a day ago or so, a Russian ship with arms was stopped at the Syrian coast! ..I say this, Alexander Nevsky, if he were alive, would destroy the baby killers of Bashar Al Assad!
Well two things can come from this; Russia could be gearing up for WW3 which is highly unlikely. Or Russia will continue to be freinimies with America and do what Soviet Union did with America of the 40's, which is fight the same people while not really being friends. I dont think Russia or America want to fight each other. That was 50 years worth of nonsense.
@Dontopitek You havent paid close attention to the recent history. US reduced its yearly military spendings from 400 billion in 1990 to 300 billion in 2000. While US GDP increased from 5800 billion in 1990 to 9950 billion in 2000. In 1990 US spent 6,8% of its GDP on military. In 2000 US spent only 3% of its GDP on military. It was massive cut. US military spendings started growing only after 9/11. Therefor facts doesnt support your anti-americanism.
@Dontopitek If you mean G.W.Bush's ''mission accomplished'' sign in aircraft carrier, then yes it was excessive gesture of false hope. On 15.12.2011, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta officially declared the Iraq War over in Baghdad. The last U.S. troops left Iraq on 18.12.2011. US 'advisors' can operate only under Iraqi government control. Obama has kept his ending Iraqi war promise. 'Nation-building' wars in muslim countries are thing of the past. US will leave Afganistan in 2014.
What a faulty education we received! Spending trillions worldwide from our own money to kill ourselves, while half of the planet's population is dying of HUNGER! 33,000 children each single day!
We have the knowledge, resources and manpower to create a paradise on this beautiful planet we call home, yet we choose chaos, sufferance, torture, murder, famine, and wars.
@Olga32555 Im westerner by heart and if its ''out of morals'' according to your standards then im guilty. Notion ''Serving devil'' is insane. Actions of the Western troika are not insane. Reason why US reduced its defense spendings was budget deficit true. But it also means that US cant afford to take on military adventures anymore. And new wars cost lots of money. So we will see less US military involvement in the world over the next decade. And that rebuts your earlier claim.
@janustinus Of course they serve devil. Remember reaction of Hilary Clinton at killing Gaddafy - she said WOW and it was happy laughing after it. Nobody from normal people can have such reaction at military crime and death in general. Look in glass eyes of Rassmusen when he said there were not victims between civilians in Libya during the NATO bombing. For sure devil completelly ownes their souls. But it is not enough for them - their plans are Iran, Syria, etc...
@janustinus -- sorry, but the arguments concerning the future events are not arguments at all. it's the breach of laws of logics. what the future us military involvement will be, nobody knows. we only know for sure that they can run endless wars having a trillion deficit and printing new benjamins. now they look like preparing to attack iran. may be i'm mistaken but who knows...
@Dontopitek US dont run enless wars. Iraqi war just ended in last december. US plans to withdraw its military from Afganistan by 2014. US cant maintain massive budget deficit and print new money, because laws of market economy wont allow that. Its obvious that US must cut its military spendings, which will limit its capability to wage wars. If Iran honors its ratified NPT and doesnt block Persian Gulf, there won't be any war. You dont have to predict future. You can look into trends.
@janustinus -- oh, yes, "its obvious that the us must cut their military spendings", and everyone was sure the us would do it in 1992 after the collapse of the soviet union, their bitter enemy. but t-w-e-n-t-y (!) years have already passed since then and "their military spendings" as you call it are still over $ 600 billion, more than all the other military budgets on this planet. and you're trying to persuade me "they will cut them" now? you are a hypocrite.
@janustinus -- iraqi war was formally declared "ended" but over 2000 us' counsellors stay in iraq untill now. yes, obama promised to withdraw from afghanistan in 2014 (like he promised to close guantanamo prison) but promises are not arguments, you know.
@Dontopitek Um, like nearly all the troops are gone. In every war America always keeps a couple left but basically is a withdraw. Also the president cant close Gitmo, he needs approval and nobody gave it to him
@Olga32555 Sorry Olga, but I really think that your ''selling their souls and serving devil'' narrative is completely insane and has nothing valuable offer to this debate. Unless you can provide some solid evidence about their contract with the devil (and lets face it you cant) you should drop this nonsense.
Obama announced recently that US will cut 487 billion $ defence budget over next decade and decrease the size of military. This doesnt support your premise about active warmongering.
@janustinus I am sorry as well that you don't see that actions of these people (Obama,Sarkozy,Cameron etc) are completely insane and that yourself are out of morals in the same way as they.
Of course Obama announced cut of defence budget because this year the state debt of USA has exceeded the size of their GDP.
Россию никому непобедить! Hо Россию может одолеть САМ РУССКИЙ НАРОД, Пропивая Себя и Снаркоманивая Aфганским героином ! Kоторый Америкосы там и выращивают для России! После чего злоебучим Америкосам-задротам будет достаточно просто вьехать в пустую огромную страну. Они же не дебилы, они не силой одолеть пытаються, а умом! Так что хотите спасти Россию., небухайте, уважайте других и плодитесь на славу великой и сильной России !
Но 90% страны это похуй ;( Мы пили, дохли, пиздились и будем, Увы! ;(
@janustinus I am very impressed with you. Very knowledgeable, and level-headed especially considering the ridiculous crowd of arrogant, ignorant, anti western, conspiracy theorists that you are setting the record straight to. I envy your calm, for sometimes these animals can be so illogical, I lose my cool, and thus my purpose in commenting in the first place. Keep up the good work.
@superyoyonigga Russia needs a lesson from the west how to make everything. Not just cars lol. Can you name one blatantly obvious "thing" that Russia makes/creates that is superior to its western equivalent??? Lol because I cant.
@Olga32555 You should know when to stop lost argument. UN peacekeeping mission UNOMIG was established after Abkhazian war in 1993. In Abkhazia, not elsewhere in Georgia. Certainly not in S-Ossetia. Next, you will claim that UN peacekeepers were in Tbilisi also, because its part of Georgia.
I know that Russian government has conducted big-time disinformation campaign about 2008 S-Ossetian war, but intelligent people should look into other sources aswell.
@Olga32555 What defines 'russian nation' then? Being a imperialist anti-american putinjugend? Allow me to not agree. I think its time to end this outdated, unreasonable and unrealistic delusions that wont do any good to no one. No democratic european slavic nation will prefer current Russia over US/EU. They are perfectly happy with the ''NWO''. They prefer to ''serve the devil'' over Russian version of the WO. We have all tasted Russian WO in the past and no one liked it.
@janustinus Of course it does not have sense to explain so long to servants of devil that it is bad to serve devil. One of the fathers of eastern church gives such an image of a sinner: a sinner is like a dog which licks with his tongue a sharp saw and does not notice harm which he does to himself because he is drunk with a smell of own blood.
@janustinus After Libya Obama,Sarkozy,Cameron completely lost reason, they sold their souls to devil and they are ready for any new war,for any suffering of innocent people to have more money.It is not a problem for them to kill some thousands of not democratic people,to make widows some thousands of not democratic women and to make orphans some thousands of not democratic children.But when usual people support this lawlessness–i can only sorry they lose their souls with them...

russian tv makes its reporters speak normally while american tv is full of mentally ill jews who scream endlessly. the west only deals and trades with russia because russia has nuclear weapons. the jews in the west do not want russia to aid iran and syria.
@Olga32555 UN resolution 1808 confirmed mandate in Abkhazia not S-Ossetia. Geography was my favourite subject after history. Im not hating Russia or russians. Russian blood pours through my veins and I have russian friends and colleagues. I want what is best for Russia. And its integration with european family not another cold war while supporting dictatorships all over the world. Your americanphobia is detrimental for Russia.
@janustinus 15.04.08 South Ossetia was a part of Georgia so UN resolution 1808 included observing ALL Geaogia and South Ossetia as well. I don't care about your blood and about blood in general because not blood definites russian nation.
And of course we russians are sorry about our slavic brothers (and our european brothers in general - because we have common christian roots with them) that they lost their way and are together with servants of devil now.
@janustinus But as i said our slavic/european brothers are free in their choice - if they decide to change their decision to be together with NWO-providers - we are glad to see them in our Eurasian Union ;-)
And we invite not only them, but everyone who is against NWO - welcome to our Eurasian Union.
@Olga32555 Ofc Iran can launch its ballistic missiles. You can google Iran test-fires Shahab3. Good thing about missiles is that they can be shot also vertically not horisontally ;).
@StrawberryRizla I personally love Britain ( as many russians do) don't assume i'm a hater. Russia had their golden eras like any other empire but such cold, vast, multicultural country is hard to keep but we're rebuilding :). don't forget russians don't want never wanted war with europe
@landialiha I think millions of russians share ''Putin must go'' manifesto. They cant be all CIA puppets. Even CIA aint so almighty. Some commentators here may believe that Russia is homogenous entity all supporting Putin. But its not so. Recent public protests over rigged Duma elections showed it well. There is a growing opposition against Putin and we will see it at the incoming Russian presidential elections.
Putin rebuild Russia thanks to high oil prices. Hardly a cataclysmic achievement.
@Olga32555 NATO membership doesnt exclude unilateral actions by countries individually. Iraqi war wasnt official NATO military operation due to the FRA and GER opposition. Your connection between ''puppetry'' and NATO membership is unreasonable. US has broken international law in Iraq not continuously. Just like Russia broke international law by violating Georgian territorial sovereignity. I think both invasions are condemnable.
@janustinus Russia protected the international law in Georgia - UN moderated that conflict and Russia had UN-mandate in South Ossetia. Georgia ruined the international law, yes, in the same way as they ruined the laws of Soviet Union first, when they did not come true the procedure of getting out of Soviet Union and started military actions against ossetians.

@Olga32555 You claimed that 'our industry is lost' and pointed out its not the case. Back yard of civilized Europe is actually Russia considering that Europe ends at the Urals. We are in the middle. Thanks for your warm wishes. You should not forget that russians are europeans also. Like so many of your slavic brothers Russia should integrate with the rest of us, not cause problems like a capricous child. Well, in 10 years time you will out of fear of China.
@janustinus Everyone has right to definite its life and our slavic brothers as well. And Russia has such right too, so stop to think fot us how we should live in who should be our ally - we know it without advices of haters of Russia.
@Olga32555 More facts and less emotions please. Iranian Shabab 3 ballistic missile can carry a warhead. Iran is constantly developing new ballistic missiles and increasing its range.
UN has never had peacekeeping mission in S-Ossetia. Russian involvement in S-Ossetia is excellent example of double standards. In Chechnya and Kosovo Russia was fierce defender of territorial sovereignity, in S-Ossetia fierce violator of Georgian territorial sovereignity.
@janustinus My emotions are always off when i talk to haters of Russia. Iran not only does not have delivery systems of rockets, but even does not have chance to get it, becuase his territory is not enough for testing of such systems.
And stop to LIE that UN did not have mission in South Ossetia - for example UN resolution 1808 from 15.04.08 has confirmed mandat of a peace-making contingent of the CIS and Russia was a part of that contingent.
@Olga32555 Germans probably laugh at comparison of the German and Russian industry also. How could Estonia with its 1,3 million population has as strong industry as Germany has? We are doing our best you know. But indeed, hats off to the mighty German industry. However in relative terms of GDP by sector Estonia is more industry oriented then industrial beasts of the western world. So we havent lost our industry as you claimed erraneously.
@janustinus And i did not compare russian industry against german one - so germans don't laught ;-) And i say yet one time - all the best for you in EU, be the back yard of civilised Europe if you want it so much ;-)
@Olga3255 France and Germany are US puppets because they couldnt stop Iraqi intervention? Russia with its 11 000 nuclear warheads couldnt stop it also. What does it tell about Russia? You are so judgemental about others but totally neclecting Russian feebleness. If Germany and France are US puppets then everyone else are aswell.
@janustinus Russia is not NATO member if you don't know,Germany and France are and USA rule NATO and spit at minds of other members of NATO in the same way as USA spit at mind everyone in the world. Did not you notice it? Of course Russia could not stop american aggressions,because USA consistently ruin the international law. But Russia will be able to limit plans of american dictat very soon- and it is a resaon of your hatred to Russia, hatred of american vassal.
NATO is a relic of the past. the people who hate russia are 80 years old and won't be alive too much longer but jews know russia can change the balance of power in the middle east by aiding syria and iran. russia is another jew concern not an american concern.

@Olga32555 Proposed anti-missile defense shield cant repel thousands of nuclear warheads Russia has. Everyone who has even a small amount of intelligence and sense of objectivity understands it. Shield is needed because thanks to Russian help, Iran has developed ballistic missiles that can hit Europe already.
@janustinus Iran does not have delivery systems of rockets - everyone knows it. And everyone knows that you have more chances to bring down a rocket in the beginning of its moving - that's why they surrounds us with their anti-missile defense.
@Olga32555 Georgia has every right to restore territorial sovereignity over its rebel province of S-Ossetia. Just like Russia did with Chechnya. I guess what is allowed to Russia, isnt allowed to small nation? Also, your information is false. UN has never mandated peacekeeping mission in S-Ossetia. Russian ''peacekeepers'' dont have any right to violate the sovereignity of Georgia. Another example of impudent intervention to other country's internal matters by Russia.
@janustinus YOUR infomation is lie that russian peacemakers did not have UN mandate in South Ossetia.They had UN mandate and they were attacked and some of them were killed. And zone of their responsibility, peacefull sleeping town was attacked as well. So stop writing LIE. Plus you must know that before leaving of Soviet Union Gerogia had to do referendum for their authonomies- if they want to go out together with Georgia - but they did not do it and it is the root of conflict.
@janustinus Why do not Britain have the same rights while Georgia has? Why doesnt Nazi Germany have it? Because unlike Hitler, Stalin(who donated those lives to Georgians) was an ally of the west? Wait a minute then why the hell those pseudo nations of Baltic be "independent" how many times must the Russians conquer them to obtain same right?
It is UN's problem who turned its back to these peoples in early 90s.
Internal matters of other countries Like Iraq Afghanistan Panama ...
@Olga32555 Iraq was mistake true. Other interventions were justified: Afganistan because Taliban refused to give out Al Qaeda, Yugoslavia because of the ethnic cleansing. UK and France played central role in Libyan civil war, not US. They had Arab League permission. US has always had wide international support. All US involvements (except Iraq and Afganistan) have happened because international community has asked US help. I think we are blessed that its US who is world policeman not China or...
@Olga32555 Estonia 'lost' many things with the collapse of the USSR, like soviet yoke, red flag, foreign military bases and planned economy including artificial industry that wasnt never meant for estonian needs. That doesnt mean we have 'lost industry'. Our industry provides 29% of GDP compared to Germany's 27%.
@janustinus i think germans laught a lot of your comparison parts of industry in german and estonian economies. But i will not laught - i said, be happy in EU, be free there ;-) USA understand freedom as freedom of morals - you don't see that it is a way to self-destruction - i can only sorry. So be toghter with USA and be free in american sense - i warned you - so my conscience is calm...
@Olga32555 If Germany and France are US puppets then why didnt they support Iraqi intervention in 2003? France, Germany and US have been in different positions in many issues. Notion that NATO membership constitutes US vassalship is ridiculous. I think people tend to mix up NATO with the Warzaw pact. 27 countries became NATO members because they wanted to not because US enforced them. And major reason why Eastern-European countries wanted to join was Russian aggressive and revanchist rhetoric.
@janustinus That's good Germany and France had brain enough no to take part in the offensive war against Iraq - they decided right that all profit from Irag oil will be in american pockets and they would have mostly expenses and death of their soldiers(how all small particinians of the coalition-Estonia too) .But they could not stop this aggression - and they are in the same miltary block with USA and USA spit at their mind - that's proves they are amrican puppets and nothing else.
@Dontopitek You claimed that US and EU make enemies at every corner and I pointed out that its not true as you admitted it now yourself. I perceive democracy differently then you. UK with its 1,5% of population who had voting rights in 1853 isnt real democracy for me. Standing behind doesnt equal with war. Besides considering Russian Empire/USSR history you are hardly in position to blame someone else for ''aggressiveness''.
@Dontopitek My original point was that its foolish for you to think that China has any love towards Russia. Lets remind братский отношение между Russia and China, shall we?
1) Russia annexing Amur river basin and Vladivastok from China in 1858-1860.
2) Soviet-Chinese border war in 1969
3) USSR supporting Vietnam during Vietnam-China war in 1979
4) China's military aid to mujahideens during USSR war in Afganistan 1979-1989.
@Dontopitek In 2020 China's GDP (PPP) will be 28,1 billion $ vs Russia's 4,3 billion $. China's population will be 10 larger. Chinese military budget will be 5x larger and its military techology more advanced. Russian arms export to China has decreased considerably. Go google ‘‘China is rapidly turning into a formidable rival in the arms market’’ by Konstantin Makienko.
Is above mentioned equal partnership or does it remind ''equal'' partnership USSR had with its eastern-europe satellites?
@Dontopitek Unfortunately many stupid russians still have soviet imperialistic anti-american mentality and thats the reason why Russian government's current foreign policy is so shortsighted and irrational, ignoring completely long-term strategic threat from China. China wants to become world superpower instead of US and they want to exploit Russia for that purpose. Go google ''China’s Threat to Russia'' by Andrei Piontkovsky.
@StrawberryRizla 28 million isn't that 3 times population of britan ;DD XD obviously britain won't just exterminate themselves in war... silly little country
@landialiha ''28 million isn't that 3 times population of britain'' Maybe back in the 1800's but today Britains population is around 60 million.If the demographic decline of Russia continues Russia will be a very large country with a dwindling poplation in the near future.By the mid century Russias population is expected to plummet by 20 to 30 million.
My theory is that Politicians need to be so competitive to get into positions of real decision, they then treat the planet as a war zone when they eventually get into power, because that is all they know. Its time that peaceful citizens start having more of a voice.
Russia should keep making its own weapons but should do what the done in the cold war like buy 1 US tank and see its downfalls and its advantages and build one better that and the same with their missiles and stuff but its helicopters, ships, planes and fire arms are all just fine its most the tanks their tanks look like T54-55 tanks updated to make the T80's but the T90 is a great tank but they don't need to buy from foreign sources
@Clear4GPromo -- when someone has no arguments left he has but to count grammar mistakes in a speech of a foreigner. can you combine two words in russian, tiny american crap?
Not sure what to say here. I think that they in Russia should update and maintain there military for protection of there nation. I am sure that they would not be as idiotic as the military industrial complex here in the States. Which it seems in my opinion to run everything to the point of bankrupting a nation as well as making my nation one of the most hated to millions if not billions of people around the world.
Russians are a bunch of barbaric slavics. That's why Hitler consider you Russian inferior disgusting barbarians. Russia always fail - look at history.
It's not always the best thing to keep sticking upgrades on half rusted BMP's and jets, sometimes it's better to buy a couple of brand new ones, and use the old ones for other things, like support, training, or reserve.
lol Russians buying abroad, thats hilarious, can you imagine Rus soldiers carrying around M4s and Abrams tanks, lololol!!!! so out of place!!! AK FOREVER!
What? How did the British do "a-lot more" then the Russians?
Russia was involved in the war long before Britain, and the Eastern front was the most brutal of the WW2 fronts. More Russian conscripts died in single assaults on the German lines then the amount of British that died during entire battles on the other fronts. The Russian people paid a huge price during WW2, quite a bit more then the British ever did.
$600 Billion is about the amount America spent on military 2011.... so makes sense... WW3 for fun? What a waste of materials, time and everything else... human beings suck.
Russia has a lot of old equipment and since the end of the Soviet Union failed to reinvent itself or rather make clear what is the purpose of the armed forces. On the other hand if you look at USA the situation is far from being pink as well. The large American Budget is wasted on hugely overpriced equipment,maintenance of the old stock and war. USA might appear powerful but the opponents it is facing is third world. As for the drones they are a joke big RC plane under-armed....
Just make mass amounts of missiles. Bomb whatever it is to smithereens, then use infantry to take it. It worked against Nazi germany, it will work again.
@wikifacts Any nation that posseses chemical or even better - nuclear weapons are always the backbone of any army. While nations like Russia wouldn't use nuclear weapons against, say, Georgia, in a large war, they are always an option and sometimes, even the biggest of nuclear warheads find themselves on the top of the launching list.
The parent company of RT, Rio novosti has been bribed by Rothschild. They have been making anti Russian propaganda for a year or so. I think there editor is CIA agent who is exaggeration of fake protests and such. They lied about what orthodox churched said on christmas. They said they were talking bad about Putin and such. Then i looked up the real speech in Russian and found out that the orthodox churched was talking about west trying to put coup and was pro Putin.
@valkyrieQueensrf50lb That dosen't mean a CIA agent is "infiltrated". Trust me, I DESPISE capitalism, the USA and the CIA, but stupid, unbased conspiracy theories are just as bad.
@rimlanin Rio novosti has changed. It is not the same as it was a few years ago. It sounds like Washington post. Dimitry medvedev is the reason why united Russia party lost 20% support. He did that stupid reset with the west which offended the far right and the far left which supported Putin in 2008. Russian media cannot be allowed to write anti Russian articles. The people need confidence to fix the problems. We need the 2007 Putin back which stood up for Russia.
@rimlanin Anissa Naouai which works for RT voted for a CIA financed and backed Yabloko party. She supporters criminals like Boris Nemsov which is the worst of the liberal CIA trash opposition leaders. He was the one who did the Orange revolution in Ukraine which was disaster for Ukrainian people. just look for it there many photos. I think people who support Yabloko should no be allowed to work at Russian media which receive government funding. People who watch RT dont want west media
would be shmould be, Russia is not seeking war with anyone. Don't try to invade Russia and you will never find out what an incoming nuke from Russia looks like.
They need to work it out. Make a company that will priduce small engines for the drones. Make it a spinoff of Saturn. I think the potential is there but more workforce is needed, more factories are needed, less bureaucrating paperwork and last but not least - kick out corruption.
$600 billion over 10 years is $60 billion per year, which is approximately what the Russians are spending anyways. Or do they mean to suddenly double their defense budget?

@Dontopitek You havent paid close attention to the recent history. US reduced its yearly military spendings from 400 billion in 1990 to 300 billion in 2000. While US GDP increased from 5800 billion in 1990 to 9950 billion in 2000. In 1990 US spent 6,8% of its GDP on military. In 2000 US spent only 3% of its GDP on military. It was massive cut. US military spendings started growing only after 9/11. Therefor facts doesnt support your anti-americanism.

On 15.12.2011, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta officially declared the Iraq War over in Baghdad. The last U.S. troops left Iraq on 18.12.2011. US 'advisors' can operate only under Iraqi government control. Obama has kept his ending Iraqi war promise. 'Nation-building' wars in muslim countries are thing of the past. US will leave Afganistan in 2014.

@Olga32555 Im westerner by heart and if its ''out of morals'' according to your standards then im guilty. Notion ''Serving devil'' is insane. Actions of the Western troika are not insane. Reason why US reduced its defense spendings was budget deficit true. But it also means that US cant afford to take on military adventures anymore. And new wars cost lots of money. So we will see less US military involvement in the world over the next decade. And that rebuts your earlier claim.

@janustinus Of course they serve devil. Remember reaction of Hilary Clinton at killing Gaddafy - she said WOW and it was happy laughing after it. Nobody from normal people can have such reaction at military crime and death in general. Look in glass eyes of Rassmusen when he said there were not victims between civilians in Libya during the NATO bombing. For sure devil completelly ownes their souls. But it is not enough for them - their plans are Iran, Syria, etc...

@Dontopitek US dont run enless wars. Iraqi war just ended in last december. US plans to withdraw its military from Afganistan by 2014. US cant maintain massive budget deficit and print new money, because laws of market economy wont allow that. Its obvious that US must cut its military spendings, which will limit its capability to wage wars. If Iran honors its ratified NPT and doesnt block Persian Gulf, there won't be any war. You dont have to predict future. You can look into trends.

@janustinus -- oh, yes, "its obvious that the us must cut their military spendings", and everyone was sure the us would do it in 1992 after the collapse of the soviet union, their bitter enemy. but t-w-e-n-t-y (!) years have already passed since then and "their military spendings" as you call it are still over $ 600 billion, more than all the other military budgets on this planet. and you're trying to persuade me "they will cut them" now? you are a hypocrite.

Unless you can provide some solid evidence about their contract with the devil (and lets face it you cant) you should drop this nonsense.
Obama announced recently that US will cut 487 billion $ defence budget over next decade and decrease the size of military. This doesnt support your premise about active warmongering.

Russia was involved in the war long before Britain, and the Eastern front was the most brutal of the WW2 fronts. More Russian conscripts died in single assaults on the German lines then the amount of British that died during entire battles on the other fronts. The Russian people paid a huge price during WW2, quite a bit more then the British ever did.

Russia has a lot of old equipment and since the end of the Soviet Union failed to reinvent itself or rather make clear what is the purpose of the armed forces. On the other hand if you look at USA the situation is far from being pink as well. The large American Budget is wasted on hugely overpriced equipment,maintenance of the old stock and war. USA might appear powerful but the opponents it is facing is third world. As for the drones they are a joke big RC plane under-armed....

Just make mass amounts of missiles. Bomb whatever it is to smithereens, then use infantry to take it. It worked against Nazi germany, it will work again.

@wikifacts Any nation that posseses chemical or even better - nuclear weapons are always the backbone of any army. While nations like Russia wouldn't use nuclear weapons against, say, Georgia, in a large war, they are always an option and sometimes, even the biggest of nuclear warheads find themselves on the top of the launching list.

The parent company of RT, Rio novosti has been bribed by Rothschild. They have been making anti Russian propaganda for a year or so. I think there editor is CIA agent who is exaggeration of fake protests and such. They lied about what orthodox churched said on christmas. They said they were talking bad about Putin and such. Then i looked up the real speech in Russian and found out that the orthodox churched was talking about west trying to put coup and was pro Putin.

@valkyrieQueensrf50lb That dosen't mean a CIA agent is "infiltrated". Trust me, I DESPISE capitalism, the USA and the CIA, but stupid, unbased conspiracy theories are just as bad.

@rimlanin Rio novosti has changed. It is not the same as it was a few years ago. It sounds like Washington post. Dimitry medvedev is the reason why united Russia party lost 20% support. He did that stupid reset with the west which offended the far right and the far left which supported Putin in 2008. Russian media cannot be allowed to write anti Russian articles. The people need confidence to fix the problems. We need the 2007 Putin back which stood up for Russia.

@rimlanin Anissa Naouai which works for RT voted for a CIA financed and backed Yabloko party. She supporters criminals like Boris Nemsov which is the worst of the liberal CIA trash opposition leaders. He was the one who did the Orange revolution in Ukraine which was disaster for Ukrainian people. just look for it there many photos. I think people who support Yabloko should no be allowed to work at Russian media which receive government funding. People who watch RT dont want west media

would be shmould be, Russia is not seeking war with anyone. Don't try to invade Russia and you will never find out what an incoming nuke from Russia looks like.

They need to work it out. Make a company that will priduce small engines for the drones. Make it a spinoff of Saturn. I think the potential is there but more workforce is needed, more factories are needed, less bureaucrating paperwork and last but not least - kick out corruption.
