Are we SURE about that? Seriously. Russia has the same reputation as China when it comes to honesty, and when it comes to proper maintenance of older equipment. Russia doesn't have any new nukes, and their military budget is one eleventh the size of ours. AND they've been losing men and materiel for 2 years now, while failing to take Kiev. They need to spend money on maintaining and replacing those losses, they need to spend money and resources on pretending to have a military that compares to ours, AND they're going to maintain the largest number of warheads on earth??? (5500 to our 5000). On only 9% of our budget???
Color me highly skeptical that they have more than a handful of VIABLE nuclear missiles. They seem a lot more like a paper tiger thees days, while getting their tails kicked by an unarmed Ukraine.
I guess you play the popular game from Russia not with a six round cylinder, but rather a single chambered bullet?
FAFO!
Under this administration , we too rank right there alongside of Russia & China for honesty. But they have us hands-down when it comes to competency of our rapidly evolving rainbow military.
You might have had a point back in the 1990s. No longer. Russia not only has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, they have some very new, very fancy stuff.
They are ahead of us hypersonic missile development. We finally got one that works about two months ago.
Also, Russia is winning the war, despite Ukraine being backed and armed by US/NATO.
We have a bloated defence budget in part because we maintain over 750 military bases throughout the world.
