This is the actual state of the country that the left is calling a global threat.

Nukes make all of this irrelevant

Russia isn’t going to invade Europe.
Russia isn’t going to attack the US.

Russia is probably more Christian than we are. They would probably be a better ally to us than most of the EU, if we would let them.

The saying goes: don’t put all your arrows in one quiver. The whole navy thing could be a ruse.

I told them they should have bought the Extended Warranty, but did they listen?

What an incredibly wrong statement, I’m sorry.

There are untold numbers of times our Aircraft Carriers have been used and VERY relevant since nukes have been around.

Even when NOT AT WAR their strategic importance CANNOT be stated STRONGLY ENOUGH.

Not every war or battle is going to be “THE BIG ONE” with Russia.

In fact, none have.

If Russia had a dozen MODERN Aircraft carriers I would have to assume you would think THEY were irrelevant too.

You’d be wrong.

“Russia is probably more Christian than we are. They would probably be a better ally to us than most of the EU, if we would let them.”

Which is why the left wing elites hate Russia 24/7.

Russia would be best advised to ditch the surface fleet and concentrate on the submarine force.

Historically Russia has been a land power. She has not really needed a blue water capable navy.

Russia has four main strategic assets: a substantial nuclear arsenal that could devastate the United States virtually without warning; vast natural resources, especially of strategic metals and oil and gas; a large export arms industry that often equips the world’s bad guys; and membership on and veto power over UN Security Council action. In sum, Russia is capable of being a major aggravation to the United States and her allies — and frequently is.

The carrier was already a 30-year old lemon

Oh, you make Putin mad. You not like Putin mad.

put a crate small block 350 in it, install a 2” lift kit, and it should be good to go...

I think they need to work on fire suppression.

They had a sub fire on the nuclear sub "Losharik" in July of this year. 14 souls were lost.

Count me in as well.

I want to see burying the hatchet with Putin as a top priority of Trump’s second term.

And I certainly agree that Putin’s strong support of the Orthodox church is one reason he’s hated by American Leftists.
