Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday other countries should not have the illusion that they can attain military superiority over Russia, Interfax reported.
"No one should have the illusion that they can gain military superiority over Russia, put any kind of pressure on it. We will always have an adequate answer for any such adventures," he was quoted as saying in an address he will present next week on the Defenders' of the Fatherland Day holiday.

a la’ Hitler, who flooded the Berlin subways to keep the Russians out, killing some 95K loyal Berliners. Germany wasn’t good enough for the great Hitler so he said.
"Is Vladimir Putin hiding a $200 billion fortune?"
That big vehicle it sits on, made in Belarus, is actually kind of impressive in its own right. Russia also uses versions in anti-aircraft systems.
Either carry your go back or an anti-tank missile. You're going to need one or the other.
"Go bag". Not go back.
I hate autocorrect except when it corrects my typing to match my thinking.
“Obama has replace the military brass with fellow travelers (and homos).”
That may explain why the Pentagon announced today what normally would be considered top secret war plans for Iraq.
During the last few years of the reign of Czar Nicholas II, attention was being paid to southern Siberia, that swath traced out by the Trans-Siberian railway. His Prime Minister, Pyotr Stolypin, was a proponent of offering incentives for groups of eastern Europeans to move to southern Siberia to farm, to occupy the land and raise the economic level there. Relatives of my Grandfather took part in this movement and emigrated to the Irkutsk region in 1910.
“Im really curious how you guys have decided that our GIs are now the dregs of the earth that are suddenly incompetent, and cant fight.”
The JAG runs the military. That, and when the military is more concerned about crushing Christianity and promoting homosexuality and a myriad of other liberal causes, we can expect nothing else.

The only reason why the Russians during the Soviet Union era had a credible nuclear deterrent was their ICBM force with nearly 1,500 launch sites—we now know that their ballistic missile submarine force were not paragons of reliability and they didn’t have a big bomber force like the USAF did up until the end of the Cold War.
That also creeped me out and made the hair on the back of my neck raise up. I could not believe someone, especially from the Republican Party, would create such a named agency.
I have been leery of our ever expanding government since I was a teenager and when DHS was created I decided we had become something other than a free nation where the individual reigned supreme.
Yes, Putin brought back the old military parades on May Day in Red Square
Pfft. Putin lacks one thing. Our tranny brigades courtesy of my Obama.
The question in post 59 is for you also.
In an ultimate military showdown the only thing that matters is nuclear throw-weight and quality.
Armies, navies, supplies, wealth...none of that matters when the balloon goes up.
My ranking of various nuclear powers throw-weigh and quality is thus.

Good grief! I left off China.... wish it could be left off the list.
The “Rodina” is Mother Russia.
It’s easy to thumb your nose at the big dog when he is heavily chained. The problem is when the next “owner” of the dog unlooses the chains (and figuratively, the dogs of war). Remember what happened when Reagan won - the nose-thumbers did a very quick turnaround...
Putin is full of his bad self. Jerk.
