Accidents happen. Equipment and humans fail. Criticizing Russia's military hardware is a fool's game. Does Russia tote a 21 TRILLION dollar debt?

Underestimate your adversary at your own peril.

The rest of the world needs strongmen to lead them, even those with market based economies. This is what you get with fewer folks on the same page. We have the same problem but as long as there are more and more 401k’s our folks will go along. Trump is a strongman only in the sense that he bitch-slaps the impeachers and others who get in his way. No need for him to get violent. Just ask the Chicoms and the Iranians.

Overestimating an opponent is just as bad. It leads to tunnel vision and a misallocation of resources.
