Americans have short memories. Russians don’t. It’s only been 25 years since the Wall came down, but in Russia’s mind the Cold War didn’t end. If Russia’s invasion of Ukraine isn’t enough of a heads-up, then maybe their new generation of tactical nuclear weapons is.
Russia's tactical nukes are now better than both ours and NATO’s. NATO member countries have only 260 older tactical weapons. Sited in Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey, the U.S. has 200 nuclear bombs with an overall capacity of 18 megatons. France has 60 atomic bombs.
The US has 300 tactical B-61 bombs on its own territory, but this does not touch the imbalance. The United States cannot improve this situation as we have destroyed many of our Cold War tactical nuclear missiles, land-based missiles and sea-based Tomahawk cruise missiles. And we pinned ourselves with our own treaties. The recent START 3 treaty was overwhelmingly favorable to Russia.
Russia has developed long-range cruise missiles of a new generation that will soon be deployed on submarines of the Black Sea Fleet and missile ships of the Caspian Flotilla.
The U.S. State Department admitted as much ina reportpublished at the beginning of September, stating that Russia has passed us in nuclear weapons capability for the first time in 40 years.
Letting our nuclear arsenal fall into disrepair is one thing (Washington Post), but allowing Russia to build a new strategic nuclear weapons force more advanced than ours is another thing altogether. And they even have a new generation of missiles.
So Russia does think it has the upper hand. And they might, if Putin and the hard-liners are willing to use force as much as they seem lately.
Maybe it’s just coincidental that Russia plans to send long-range bombers to the Gulf of Mexico “just for practice”. Russia has decided not to participate in scheduledjoint nuclear security effortswith the United States. Russia is boycotting a U.S.-hosted international security summit meeting in 2016.
When the heads-of-state gave Putin too much grief about the Ukraine at the G-20 meeting last week, he just got up and left.
The decline in U.S.-Russian relations is symptomatic of many things and can be dangerous as isolation can breed misinterpretations (NYTimes). Russia views our Congress as weak and ineffective, hamstringing our Commander-in-Chief. Russia is paranoid that they themselves will be seen as weak. And Kremlin hard-liners are reticent about letting U.S. experts into their nuclear sites.
Which would be bad enough if our weapons actually worked well and were ready if we ever needed them.

To me i do not care either way but most everyone is brain washed in thinking its all good not only is your moral falling apart so is your country as a whole
The Once super power is no longer and the truth of you being actually weak has shown its self over and over
Facts that is what its all about right ??? but meme away and run from the truth again i don't care Nukes are not pointed my way
America’s military is dangerously weak and unprepared today, and it’s not getting better. At least that’s what top military leaders told Congress recently. Unfortunately, the testimony of these top generals and admirals did not get the attention it deserved.
For the last 15 years, the United States military has not prepared for conflict with a near peer competitor like Russia or China. General Mark Milley, chief of staff of the Army,shared his worries with Congress, explaining that the Army would be able to handle a serious conflict but “not at a level that is appropriate for what the American people would expect to defend them.”
In other words, because soldiers are not adequately prepared, the U.S. Army would either be late to arrive to a conflict (due to more time for training) or they would send soldiers into harm’s way unprepared.
FACT
The chief of Naval Operations, Admiral John Richardson, alsoadmittedthat there is “a readiness debt that we have had difficulty pulling out of or even making progress on as the funding levels are what they are and the security environment continues to put demands on the force.”
Almost two decades of conflict and years of budget constraints have taken their toll on the military, both in terms of deferred modernization and insufficient readiness
With your Government chopping every sector because of debt sorry your going to be left behind
FACT
Half of the Air Force’s combat forcesare insufficiently prepared for a high-end conflict. The Navy is forced to put more strain on its sailors and ships bydoing eight to ten month deployments, instead of the more manageable 6 months.
All Marine Corps aircraft eitherneed to be replaced or recapitalized. Not to mention, the Marines’ currentlevel of Class A mishaps is nearly double the ten year average. Neller confessed that “the simple fact is that we don’t have enough airplanes to meet the training requirements for the entire force.”
Last year, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefssaidthe planned defense budget was “the lower ragged edge of manageable risk need to execute our nation’s defense strategy.” The suggested base defense budget at the time was$573 billion. This year’s defense budget request is more than $20 billion lower.
If last year’s estimate was the lower ragged edge, this year’s budget request surely is below that edge of manageable risk.

Perhaps they are spending huge amounts to develop nuclear arms. A Trumpian sized yuuuuuuge waste because they will never be used. Perhaps they have really fast rockets, OK. If Russia is such a wonderful powerhouse, then why are their military forces in such a decrepit state?Americans have short memories. Russians don’t. It’s only been 25 years since the Wall came down, but in Russia’s mind the Cold War didn’t end.

So, how large is the Russian economy? Russia's GNP is 12th in the world, behind South Korea and ahead of Australia's -- big but not anything like the US, China, or Japan. 2015 GDP of the US is about 15 times that of Russia. Military spend as a percentage of GNP is about 5% for Russia and 3% for the US. US GDP grew 1.4% last year, has low inflation and unemployment has finally dropped to within a healthy range -- not good enough but not the disaster that Trump claims.
Why is this important? Because the Russian economy is in decline and has been for several years now. In the past year, GNP has declined almost 4%, the Ruble lost 25% of its value and inflation runs 13%. In light of this, Putin is at odds with it's neighbor Ukraine, advancing military adventures in the Middle East and dealing with sanctions from the larger, healthier economies of the world due to it's annexation of Crimea.
Basically, Putin is putting on a great nationalist show for the Russian people to divert attention away from increasingly hard times.
Not saying Russia isn't a great country. The people I've met from Russia were friendly, well educated and every bit the equal to anybody else I know. Russia also has great natural beauty and resources. The real problems in Russia lie in the health it's economy. The situation in that country can't remain where it is. At it's current rate of economic decline and high rate of military spend, the country will bleed out and become a second rate nation. Regardless of missiles with the speed of mach 6 gazillion.

Another FACT "You know, every time you have some sort of violent crime or mass killing, you can almost see the media salivating, hoping, hoping desperately that the murderer happens to be a Republican, so they can use it to try to paint their political enemies. Now listen, here’s the simple and undeniable fact. The overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats. The media doesn’t report that."
For instance, in New York, about one-third of felons released from prison registered to vote after their release. Of those, about 62 percent registered as Democrats and 9 percent registered as Republicans, with 26 percent registering as independents or with other parties.
In North Carolina, about a quarter of those who were released registered after their release. Of those, 52 percent registered as Democrats, 19 percent as Republicans and 22 percent as independents or with other parties.
And in New Mexico, 41 percent of those who were released registered to vote. Of those, 55 percent registered as Democrats, 10 percent as Republicans and 18 percent as independents or with other parties.
