precisely. the “OMG, the russians and their awesome military are going to kill us all!” threads are hysterical crap.

Nuclear weapons in the hands of a force willing to use them are the game winners - not billion dollar high tech military machines. Just low level down and dirty 1970's era battlefield technology which both sides have plenty of. First one to go nuke has the best chance of surviving - like maybe as high as 2%.

I've been saying that for months.

Every Monday there is a new Russian Wunderwaffen. One week it's a ship. One week it's a tank. One week it's an airplane-doesn't matter. Every week the Ruskies are just about to go on-line with something that will put the West to rest.

Then on Tuesday or Wednesday we get another story about the Russians having to steal fuel from their aircraft carrier to put in the tugboats that are needed to push the carrier around or their new radar array that can't identify Eurasia.

They sure do "dream up" some nifty make believe stuff though.
