How may Soviet/Russian submarine disasters are we up to now? It has to be at least six. If their allegedly superior missiles and fighter jets are of the same quality, Russia may not be as much of a threat as the media would like us to believe.

All I know is that NASA ended the U.S. space shuttle program after 50% of its shuttle fleet suffered catastrophic failures with a total loss of crew members. The U.S. is now in an ignominious position where we must rely on the Russians to send our astronauts to the International Space Station.

With an embarrassing track record like that, I don’t think we are in a position to criticize any other country over their military hardware failures.
