Putin says Russia's military strength unmatchable

[Chef Ramsay]

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday other countries should not have the illusion that they can attain military superiority over Russia, Interfax reported.

"No one should have the illusion that they can gain military superiority over Russia, put any kind of pressure on it. We will always have an adequate answer for any such adventures," he was quoted as saying in an address dedicated to the Defenders' of the Fatherland Day holiday next week.

Funny. If the US wasn't spending exorbitant amounts of funding on defense I might believe Putin.

[pedrog]

They all say that, it's the usual propaganda.

[pattu1]

It would be foolish to admit anything else.

[deepestfear]

Soviet Union vs Putin's Russia = Same wine, different bottle

[notbatman]

WWIII will go something like this, Russia pushes a button and instantly 48.5% of the worlds population drops then the US pushes a button and another 48.5% drop. The remaining 1% then beat each other to death with clubs made from chunks of plutonium scavenged from all the obsolete nuclear weapons.

Lord Rothchild then re-populates the world with miniature clones of himself.

Well, it's one way of averting a war - he warn the West not to fall into the trap of believing its own propaganda of weak Russia (like Hitler and Napoleon did before).
Starting with Gorbachev, the Soviet military was systematically dismantled. This continued in Russia with even greater tempo under Yeltsin. The damage done to Russia's defence has only started to be reversed around 2010. For example, the story with Mistrals. Russia had already built its own helicopter carrier, but it was sent to scrap metal after insistent advice from "friends across the ocean".

And the West is against!

- The defense industry today is restoring. It started after the departure of Yeltsin's team (before that it was impossible - without the participation of American advisers it was not possible to issue a single directive from State Property). I believe that the collapse of the defense was not a fluke, or stupidity. After destroying all that could be destroyed - including  Air defense system, which controlled the area from Arkhangelsk to Magadan. Right now we restored the over-horizon control station . There were two - in Irkutsk and the Baltic States. And in the 90s the stations were not just closed, even their concrete foundations were blown up!

By the way, Putin doesn't say "unmatchable", but "adequate". Different meanings, in light of the above.

A few thousand Taliban are enough to overcome their "unmatchable" military.

[sickhouse]

Consider this folks, US has invented drones, Russia has propably spent roughly the same amount on military research. They may have an ace they aren't showing.

Right, according to SIPRI, Russia spent nearly $72 billion on arms in 2011- considering the current situation that number is propably way way higher. Haters gonna hate...

I repeat Russia will never be able to win against Taliban(backed by US).

[Balthazar]

Is this "I repeat" supposed to be an argument?

Russia will never be able to win against Taliban(backed by US).

In case if you had no idea, in 2000s they've already won the war against the US-backed islamists. Which in fact were just another Taliban/ISIL/IS/whatever.

about this one, I know it sound easy once the fog of war is removed to judge the guy badly (on this topic). However I think he believed the lies of the Americans controllers, they spoke about peace and the end of the cold war, he acted accordingly. The Russian Way.

Happily they saw trough the lies, realities is best to be followed raw...

Never get fooled again. So long as Russian Revolution isn't executed in America, ie killing killing killing the infidels and D.E. never believed... and if they do the Russian Rev 3.0 on the America soil, you will see so much blood that it will be impossible to not aknowledge that they have changed... but I don't think they have the intellectual capacity to still do it... they will have to be confronted... let's wait for Japan to open their eyes... they will.

Strictly speaking, they already had a chance in the North Caucasus. Failed miserably, if you are curious. Just in case you don't know or happen to have any doubts, read about Abu al-Waleed, his likes and their inglorious fate.

[seen369]

It is not only Russia's weapons that the West must worry about. Its Russia sheer size.
Russia controls too much of the earth for it to be contained.

[Snipe85]

The great Russian military power. I bet they have enough rusty junk to match the rest of the world.

Just a few noticeable figures tightly connected with Taliban and Al-Qaida, who fought against Russia in the North Caucasus. All dead by now.

Abu al-Walid

Abu Hafs al-Urduni

It was the same story in Vietnam. The US spent billions and could never win either!

most of you never watched (enough) 漫画, this one is perfect to teach you the basic concept of war :

Understand why your foes are angry and ready to use violence, evaluate with an open and honest mind the complaints (generally you will see that there is a problem, for ex gmo, systemic prostitution, immunity for sexual offenders and ctrl+p for my case (in short ofc)), solve the issue$, become the best friend of your old foe that will do the Do with you.

Of course it's beyond the grasp of the "man behind the curtail" because he is a sociopath thinking only about him, him, and him. always. Which means that once the combat is engaged there is no others choice than to break him, just before death, so that he can still have a chance, and if his "soul" is gone, finishing IT as a sign of mercy.
