"Our Asymmetrical Response Is Nuclear Warheads"
"The U.S. is the permanent 'world champion' in the size of its military budget – almost $600 billion, which is 10 times more than Russias. Even if we add together the military budgets of the top ten countries in the world, they would not reach the American budget! Now it turns out that even that is not enough for Donald Trump. He intends to increase defense expenditure by $54 billion. This money would be enough to maintain five Polish armies. Or 10 Ukrainian ones.
"The American public is already grumbling at Trump, who prefers guns to butter." But cunning Trump understands what his trump card is: He is 'buying' the support of the army, as well as of military industry corporations.
Former Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army Yuri Baluyevsky is certain that 'the idea to increase defense expenditure was presented to Trump by the U.S. military, who argue a lot about the power of the Russian army, realizing this is an opportunity to get new money.'
But how will Moscow react to the growing military budget of the U.S.? Baluyevsky answers: 'Russia will not compete with the U.S. in defense expenditure. We are in a different weight class. For us, the main question is how to ensure Russia's defense at a lower cost. I am sure that we have already found asymmetrical responses. I don't see a big problem here.'
"What are these mysterious 'asymmetrical responses' that our politicians and generals speak about so often? Maybe it's a myth or a pretty turn of phrase? No! Our asymmetrical response is nuclear warheads that can modify their course and height so that no computer can calculate their trajectory. Or, for example, the Americans are deploying their tanks, airplanes and special forces battalions along the Russian border. And we are quietly 'seeding' the U.S. shoreline with nuclear 'mole' missiles (they dig themselves in and 'sleep' until they are given the command)[...]"
"Oh, it seems I've said too much. I should hold my tongue. In short, we have something to provide an 'asymmetrical' (and cheaper) response to the Americans."
But if Trump has money to burn, let him spend it on weapons that the U.S. may never even need. And they say Trump is a good businessman..."
I wouldn’t click on that link if I was on your computer
This reads like a letter from a looney bin.
We do have the scariest politicians in America.
“Perhaps not easy to do but it does seem possible”
Have these dipweeds mastered the supermarket yet?
I love your map!!!!
Telefon bump!
“Formatting and emphasis are mine. “
The BS is the referenced/linked website’s.
Close. Bronson was one of two KGB agents sent to stop Donald Pleasance from triggering the embedded moles. Still a good movie.
Win what?
After our Boomers are done with it there won’t be anything worth shooting at. Just one of those subs can handle the entire Russian landscape.
The USN probably is second to none in scooping up spend rockets & other lost military hardware off other ocean floor. How long before one or more of Thos containers are located and recovered by us? Not long. And nuclear warhead designs are the technological crown jewel of any nation.
Basically it’s a dumb idea to park your warheads where the enemy can grab them and you can’t service them when needed.
You forgot this part:
“...On February 28, Russian military expert Viktor Baranetz, a retired colonel and former defense ministry spokesman, published an article in the Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda...”
BTTT .... Stay Safe !
That’s a really cool map.
One word: maintenance.
Another word: theft.
