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.
Putin had to be stopped.
Well all that sure stopped his nuclear armed
submarines patrolling the water god knows where,
Not to mention whatever massive operation Russia had going up in the arctic before this war even started
