Russia cannot afford to fight a 10-year war...

Last I checked they are not $37 trillion in debt and trying to eternally fund three different wars.

Just my $0.02

Apples and oranges.

Russia is a third-world economy, with an economy not much bigger than Canada's or Italy and below most other developed western countries.

But, since you brought it up with the American debt, what is Russia's debt? Mind you that neither Russia nor China will divulge their real economic problems. So, let's have it.

But, we told Russia was running out of missiles and ammo two years ago.

Here we are two years later and Russia keeps cranking out both while the West can't come closer to matching what it is producing.

The opposite of what you're claiming is actual true -- with $34 trillion debt, we can't afford to continue sink money into wars that have nothing to with our national security and, in fact, endanger this country.
