In fact Russia commissioned three nuclear submarines in 2021 - of Yasen M and Borei class, both run quieter at 15 knots than LA class at pier. 9 more are in work, including one fitting out and one undergoing sea trials.

There is a parity between the Russian Navy and USN in SSBNs.

The Air Force received 60 aircraft in 2021.

Professionals outnumber conscripts in the Russian military since 2015.

Russia is a regional power. You want me to think they are the Soviet Union.

We have no beef with them. Getting worked up over Ukraine is a suckers bet. We have no business expanding East.

Someone is fixing for a fight, and no one was explained why it should bother me one bit. Russia knows we would destroy them.

Why are you building up Putin to be more than he is?
