Thanks for your help on this one except JS is blaming Obama when it was all

to after WW2.

Actually you are both right. The problem is that past military spending
was financed by debt and now even though spending has been cut the cost keeps
rising due to the interest on the debt. All these senseless wars must be
paid for sooner or later. Russia and China know that all they need to do to
defeat us is wait it out. Most Americans going to be in for a big surprise.
Total military expenses of $1.3 trillion per year means that more than
half the tax revenue of the US government goes solely to the military. Total
military spending by the US government is nearly more than all other
countries in the world combined. And, military spending by the US and its
allies
accounts for between two-thirds and three-quarters of all global military
spending.

Stanley,
What planet are you living on ? The cuts to the military have been on the
front pages for months. And you wonder why no one can have an intelligent
discourse with you.

In which fantasy world did you get all this knowledge of Obama bringing
our military down to pre WW2
levels? I do know because of the growing monster debit, with the
republicans leading the charge, government spending was reduced to the bone
including the military. Have you forgotten so soon?

While Obama has drawn our military down to pre WW2 levels. God help us.
The utter arrogance of this man and the fantasy world he lives in could be
the end of us. All you need is ONE nuclear detonaton in anger and the
consequences would be catasthropic.

Many people have written asking about Putin. The pundits are claiming the
Russian Army is weak and could not wage war. Russia is actually looking at
expanding its military policy re-targeting Europe and the USA as enemies,
and rewriting protocols for justification of a defensive first strike with
nuclear weapons. The greatest mistake that the West has made so far is to
judge Russia through their own eyes based upon themselves with extreme
arrogance and prejudice. Just because you would not want war does not mean
your
opponent has the same view. Additionally, the arrogance of the politicians
can force war by their unyielding posture and inability to realize that
they have left their opponent with no other option.
The arrogance that Russia is weak and could not afford war is a huge
mistake because it is the West who cannot afford war in the middle of an
economic implosion where we have a Sovereign Debt Crisis brewing on an
unprecedented scale. War also gas been an escape valve for fiscal
mismanagement and in
this respect, war become desirable as a decoy to hide the inability of
politicians to cope with managing the state.
The Russian military forces are composed of 150,000 officers and 766,000
soldiers on active duty. There are about 2,485,000 reservists. The Russian
Ground Forces have 15,500 tanks, 27,607 armored fighting vehicles (AFV),
5,990 self-propelled guns (SPG), 4,625 towed artillery guns and 3,781 multiple
rocket launcher artillery systems (MLRS), according to reports of the
Military portal Global Fire Power. For the Air Force, Russia has about 3,082
airplanes, jets and helicopters. Russia has only about 114 combat helicopters
compared to the USA’s 914 attack helicopters – not counting those bought
by local civil police as in Florida.
The Russian Navy has 352 ships and boats. However, Russia has only one
aircraft carrier – the Admiral Kuznetsov class. This was in the service in
1991. Moscow would like to supplement his holding by two helicopter carrier
Mistral class from France.
Moreover, Russia has over 4,600 nuclear warheads ready for use in their
collections. Additionally, Russia has 7,300 nuclear warheads in reserve.
Furthermore, Russia has about 330 intercontinental ballistic missiles that
could be targeted against the USA domestically. In addition, ten nuclear
submarines are equipped with 160 missiles and there are another 576 nuclear
warheads.
In the next few years, the rocket classes Bulava (SS-N-30) RS-24 Jars
(NATO code SS-24) and Iskander-M (SS-26 Stone) are to be built. Russian
technology in rocket manufacture is not to be under-estimated. Just in the
past
decades since the Cold War began, Russia has 117 different missile
technologies that have been used. These systems are partly to extensions of
older
technologies. The missile defense system A-135 (NATO code ABM-3) is in Moscow
and is ready for use. It protects the capital and the surrounding area from
possible attacks. Unlike Iraq or Syria, the USA cannot simply invade with
impunity. This is not a war that could be won in such a manner and the
capability of nuclear attacks/defense warn that those levels of warfare are
off
the table.
