The Moskva which was sunk, was designed to sink US aircraft carriers. The bombers recently destroyed at Engels Air Base in Russia were designed to launch nuclear armed cruise missiles into the United States (which was still their mission, for which they regularly trained). The huge stockpile of tanks and Artillery that has threatened Europe for over half a century, has now been well over half destroyed/expended.

The USA provided around two percent of our FY2022 Defense Budget in equipment to accomplish that (less than $20 Billion, out of $777 Billion). Something similar in FY23 seems to be about what it will take to subdue Russia’s Military for likely a generation, but at least a decade.

For more than a hundred years, and continuing under Putin, Russia has actively been working to subvert the USA internally, stoking racial and political divides, and working to undermine the values and policies that made us strong.

We are effectively demilitarizing and weakening that enemy for a trifling cost. Their aggressive war of conquest, and barbaric tactics of opppression cannot be tolerated, if we want to live in a civilized world.

the Russian nuclear submarines are in the same state or worse as the Kursk.

Theoretically they have 49 submarines. in reality the working ones are probably in single digits and in a bad state of repair.

the US, UK etc. will be tracking those and they most likely don’t venture far from their home ports — looking at the state of Russia’s navy

You know I read a couple years ago That the navy had to scrap a whole bunch of ships because they couldn’t get rid of the bugs in it that’s the problem with high technologies stuff the more complicated to make a system more subject it is To chaos theory the larger system the more it’s prone to random errors. My point is the US military is no better. General’s lie to the politicians and the politicians lie to the people
