With Tweedledum and Tweedledee in charge of our military I don’t think the Russkies need to worry.

I grew up as a military brat in Germany during the Cold War.

I was a military nerd and became an Army Officer after joining the Guard in college.

I followed all of the latest info on the Soviet military threat and came away with one observation after the Cold War ended and the USSR dissolved.

The Russians can build some decent high end stuff but they cannot afford to purchase them in any volume. This is true for pretty much all of their stuff. Looks shiny and maybe its even competitive but if you don’t have enough of them they are not “game-changers”.

The Russians can not compete on latest generation tech nor do they have much money for training to use it in comparison to our military. Look at the difference in expenditures and look at the raw numbers of platforms.

We have an entire industry in the US that continually pumps the threat to keep the money flowing.
