That is ok, Russia is also replacing it’s oldest ICBMs, which are newer than our MM3, with new ones, building new ballistic missile submarines, new missiles, and new warheads while we coast along on our 1980s nuclear hardware. Not to mention we totally surrendered tactical nuclear superiority to Russia.
But they are our friends now... (gag)
Thank God Hillary pushed that red “reset”/Overload button with the Russians...
And with all the shinny new mil gear our supplier of the future - we’re going to need something to repel both of the Canadian troops when Ottawa decides to invade.
