Old Russian generals and Russian admirals are dying or being replaced
and the new one's don't want have the same thing happen to them.
Job protection and foreign sales of arms (old and new) keep them going.

I think it's very important and logical that Russia at this time is investing heavily in its military, who has been in neglect for quite some time.

Military policy and spending is one thing. Foreign policy and politics is another.

russia needs to become a superpower asap, because during cold war there were 2 sides, and america could not go around policing the world, alot of countries are pissed at the U.S because they go around acting like they own the world which is a big no-no , russia and china will help counter that cuz of former communist political ties, and they can keep (and i quote a japanese general)"trhe great beast" at bay

A quite remarkable view on the foreign policy of the US as a Superpower...
:rotfl:

Never mind that the War of Independance was not the Civil War, never mind a couple of Zero's and Val bombers above Pearl Harbour on Dec. 7th 1941, a couple of civil air planes flown in some builings on Sept. 11, 2001 and a handfull of other historic facts.


Some stupids over here in Holland still celebrate each year that those wicked Americans came over - together with British, Canadians, French and Polish troops - to occupy our country after the Second World War.
Mind you!

And 8302 of those occupiers are still here!

Mind you!
:hmm:
Well done Abraham! I find facts don't seem to be his strongest suit. Bile. That could well be.

Yes. I always act in the precautionary sense first. It is a well established fact that I do not like to delete posts or lock threads. I feel that they are unsightly and give a poor impression for new or casual members. Accordingly, I issue warnings when things get heated, or when they appear to be heading down this path. There are serveral red flags waiving in this thread. As such, I have reminded the participants in this discussion that I am watching the thread in the hopes that they will regulate themselves.

Regarding deletions and magical instruments: There is always a tab left with the name of the poster and moderator who performed the deletion. I am not able to perform a 'hard delete', where the post dissapears entirely. Only Mr. Stevens is able to excecute such an action. As such, no posts have been deleted.

I hope that this has been informative. Now, back to the sandbox.

You came along just in time Takeda, because I was fixing to post a picture
of the entire United States Navy and all of it's ships and men,
but I figured it would take too long to download ...

You're responding to someone who on another thread suggested that Serbia use nukes against Kosovo to resolve its own problems.

What's good for the goose........................

Of course, it obvious that I am biased from my choice of a name.... lol

Default Putin is saying that because thats what the liberal world media wants to hear

All Putin is doing is sucking up to the liberal world media, does no one have the common sense to see that... it is pretty plain and simple
