What you need to understand is the difference between the the US and Russian military budgets. Russians see defense spending as a way to protect Russians. American rulers see defense spending as a way to rob the American people by the tens of trillions of dollars. Dr Mark Skidmore told us that $21 trillion had gone missing from two federal agencies - HUD and DOD. He once told a funny story. The US Army has an annual budget of $122 billion. So much money had gone missing that the US Treasury sent them a check for $800 billion. Guess what happened? The $800 billion went missing too!!
It is a regional Navy but if you look at the world and add up the Chinese, Russian and Iranian Navies, they all add up to doom for the US. Their ships are cheaper to build. And their missiles are far superior. Russia can launch a missile, have it go into orbit and come down thousands of miles away destroying a much larger and more expensive aircraft carrier.

Doom????
That statement is so ludicrous that it tests ones idea of sanity.
Is there even one shred of reality and logical thinking there?
Russians see defense spending as a way to protect Russians.
Protect Russians????
That displays total lack of knowledge of the Russian military.
Anyone interested in current military affairs will find that the past and current LARGEST segment of the total Russian military is their...PARATROOP DIVISIONS...
Paratroops are OFFENSIVE forces not DEFENSIVE.
Russia has the worlds largest offensive paratroop army in the world to protect Russians?????
Russia is a regional power. They have 60,000 paratroopers. The Russians have only deployed troops in Syria in recent years. And that was to save Christians from Al Qaeda and ISIS who were funded by American taxpayers because Israel demanded it.
By contrast the the US has 60,000 JSOC troops who do lots of Dirty Work all over the world. That is in addition to our paratroopers.
Russia is a regional power. They have 60,000 paratroopers.
Bummer when one has to look on Wikipidia to inform themselves. Wiki says 60,000 paratroops...but HORSE conveniently left off Wiki saying Russia would have 72,000 by 2019.
That is dishonest Horse.
Anymore Freedom 4um has a tag team of anti American posters. ADA and Horse.
Still less than we have from JSOC and paratroopers. And we are all over the world. Russia is not. Yoy are just being paranoid. They do not have troops and drones all over the world killing people. We do. We do it for Israel.
I saw the line that said they intended to increase their numbers if future years but did not see when.
However, Russia is cutting down the size of their military. They are shifting to mobility. The US is the one pushing troops into Poland in violation the US made to Gorbachev during the BUSH I admin.
#30. To: Lod, ADA, Horse, Esso, BTP Holdings, All (#28)
The US has never realistically "feared" an invasion by anyone since 1812.
Lod...
That is not correct and I will steer you to the information on the internet that will explain it in great detail. It will explain the "fear", the reality and the reaction taken by our military AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL..IT WILL TELL YOU POINT BLANK WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS READY AND WILLING TO DO.
I was there, took part, never knew until years later what the hell we were doing.
Horse is so wrong, so uninformed, so misguided BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT INTENDED IT THAT WAY. Our government was very concerned and willing to sacrifice.
I will steer you to the information on the internet that will explain it in great detail. . . IT WILL TELL YOU POINT BLANK WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS READY AND WILLING TO DO.
I credit your sincerity, Cyni.
However, please be so kind as to put the thesis in a few words without resorting to the guessing game.
There are many threats to this nation in the name of individual nations or groups or designated practices (like printing money) or philosophies (like marxism). Many things could be characterized as significant perils that might lead us in some way to destruction.
A link is OK, but it never hurts to be explicit using in plain English.
In 1952 Truman, military realized that Russia could land 50,000 troops in Alaska BECAUSE WE HAD NOTHING TO DEFEND IT WITH.
The government was willing to write Alaska off. Truman and Hoover sent FBI agents to Alaska to recruit and train spies that would be left behind. Volunteers were equipped with radios, codes, arms etc. That was 1952.
Alaska would be written off. We had no manpower as we were fighting China in Korea. Truman feared Stalin would INVADE Alaska.
It is all on the internet for those that care to educate themselves.
In 1953 and 1954, we took many aircraft to Alaska, made penetrations to demonstrate different possible russian incursions.
But one place had army boots on the ground in the snow fighting the supposed "enemy". As air fforce, we wondered who this enemy was in the minds of Washington. The answer was simple.
We were only allowed to make high level penetrations, no mid level.
It went on for two weeks ,
Air defense knew we were coming and many still managed to get into deep Alaska.
We were never told the FEAR Washington had about Alaska.
Truman lost his nerve, fired MacArthur and Stalin knew he was free to move if he desired. WE HAD NOHING TO STOP HIM IF HE INVADED ALASKA.
In winter in Alaska, nothing moves except by air.
From the air we watched army grunts wallowing in the snow, fighting a mythical enemy. They knew, we knew it was not the Canadians they were preparing for.
The experts here on 4um never heard of the FBI last ditch effort, claim we have never feared invasion and paratroops are for internal protection. they make me sick.
