Russia is so desperate that it is relying on Iranian weapons and North Korean troops, but according to the Trump admin they are too mighty for the greatest military force of all time.

Russia is a failing nation. Population loss, brain drain, corruption exposure. They couldn't conquer Ukraine and needed help from The hermit Kingdom. The only thing keeping them around are their nuclear weapons.
I say this with complete sincerity. Be very wary of people who spend too much time in the gym, especially those who post pictures of themselves online and boast about their fitness. It's a sign of narcissism and deep insecurity. They're rotten on the inside, so they try to perfect the outside.
The newest major sea battles will not be fought using yesterday’s technology. We need forward looking people in our military leadership. Pete is a moron. Do you think that Ukraine is destroying the Russian war machine because they do PT.

I've long wondered why anyone would be either awed or scared by Russia. It's a (un-) developing country, clearly in decline, yet the alt to extreme right seem to consider them an example of strength and power.
Domestic Instability and a loss of foreign foothold for a state like Russia where the highest value chips that remain are nuclear…does not lead to good things. They are not an example of strength but you better believe they are powerful and they are extremely wary of US/NATO on their doorstep
I wouldn't be surprised if they literally blew up in their faces. Do you think the Russian army has resources and know-how (and integrity) to maintain them, let alone upgrade them?
I think that’s highly disingenuous. Nukes definitely do mean shit and if you think the Russians aren’t ’suicidal’ or at least that we don’t believe they could be I think you should check out the Cold War, particularly the chapter on Cuba. The issue definitely is defined by ‘nukes innit’.
Hmmm I respect that opinion but I wouldn’t put too much money on it. It also proves that the west definitely think that suicidal nukes are an issue re. Russia. Especially with a despot like Putin who I honestly believe is more of a megalomaniac than khrushchev
It's because they like Russia's politics, obviously. Their ideology demands that countries like Russia are the epitome of strength - facts be damned (which is a general rule for them of course, they literally don't care about facts, only about what benefits them and their ideology).
Yes, Ukraine-Russia war has shown that Russia's military equipment has degraded over time, partly due to corruption, since everyone was skimming off the top.
US Military is #1 and probably has kept up their equipment prowess.
The Navy probably doesn't need 7 years to prepare, but Hegseth might.
As of 9/2024, US Navy
- not the highest count vessels
- BUT has the most powerful and versatile fleet
- fleet has best logistical benefits (refueling)
- aircraft carriers => own airforce
The only thing Russia excels at is producing dead soldiers. The notion that we should be afraid of a country that has lost nearly 200,000 soldiers in 3 years (1 million casualties in all) vs. a much smaller nation is laughable.
What an asshat! Bet the Navy Commanders are thrilled! There is absolutely no end to their treason. If they made a perfume that smelled like Trump's ass, I'll bet they'd all be wearing it. I just can't believe we're letting them get away with all this deceit.
The sad part is that they know exactly what they are doing. Do you really think it’s anything other than agreeing to let Putin have Ukraine so he won’t publish his dossier on Trump? Blackmail!
Hegseth is so deep down the fundie / MAGA rabbit hole that he likely has no fucking idea what an utter shitshow Russia has been making of the SMO. Here's hoping his smooth alcoholic brain breaks wide open once he starts absorbing actual hard intel.
Can one believe that a US SecDef declares to the world that russia is "the greatest military force of all time?" How exactly is it that russia controls rump and everything his totally incompetent cabinet does?
If “the greatest military force of all time” actually goes up against Russia, we’re all dead, idiot.
I despise Trump but I don’t know when Democrats decided that mushroom clouds over American cities were an acceptable risk to take to rescue Ukraine. Not that they actually *would* rescue Ukraine.
Well, when they send all the well-trained soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen home who don't meet the criteria of MAGA (only White men need apply) we won't have the power to stand up to Russia. He is looking ahead. They are going to ruin the military, too. A lot of cowards in MAGAville. #1 Trump
This all appears to be Trump admin trying to re-gift Russia their rhetorical military dominance they once had prior to Ukraine’s invasion. Back when Ted Cruz was drooling at military propaganda videos.
We have the mightiest military in history of the world and our Navy is more powerful than all the other nations navies combined. It's treason to give aid and comfort to the enemy by lying that we are weak when we are not. Russia conventional military is an absolute junk & in particular their Navy.
