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.
Equally important but not mentioned is maintenance and crew training. In the past Russian ships were not maintained properly. Currently our naval crews are not trained properly which has resulted in several embarrassing oops over the last few years.
My son, a marine engineer, tells me that turnover is so great that those promoted to fill the vacancies are not given proper training. Training for a new position is given by handing out a videotape and being told to study it. Small wonder the accidents.
