downsizing US military

[Colon™]

You need to post that 4 times over to make it worth as much as a post of mine.

Those Russian guys don't have any national insignia on their uniforms either. I guess you need plausible deniability when you know you are in the wrong.

[regexcellent]

It's not all that plausible though.

He's obviously just a freedom fighter exercising his rights, reg. I don't know what you are talking about.

Serb is like a lot of Russians. Real tough guys until they come up against a real challenge...then they fold up like an accordian or beg help from the west. Delusions of graduer is the Russian way. Serb's bellicose attitude shows not only his inadequacy, but is a microcosim of Russiam desire to be relevant.

When I said any place anywhere, I meant that there is no place on Earth that the U.S. military wouldn't dominate the Russians. It just depends on the cost that we would be willing to pay. This simple fact explains the continuing chest thrusting that Serb tries to do. It is sad really. Most Russians I have met are decent people. They all, however, have had a terrible desire to be thought of as relevant...no matter what the facts say.

Russia has the biggest little man syndrome of any nation in history.

I'm not exaggerating. I mean it. They have the biggest little man syndrome of any nation in history stretching all the way back to Peter the Great and maybe further.

Most Russians I have met are decent people.

You mean, when
1. they are men and not drunk (which is about the first 5 seconds of the day)
2. they are women (most of them are really nice persons if they are not hitting on you all the time)
3. you don't don't have to depend on them to get your work done

[pchang]

2. they are women (most of them are really nice persons if they are not hitting on you all the time)

You say that like its a bad thing.

Just for your information, Peter the Great was 203 cm high (6 ft 8 in). I'm not that high of course - only 190 cm. Just how tall are you?
Perhaps you (the West) are just jealous, because Russia is the largest country on this planet?

You don't even realize how nazi you sound.
Ok, I'll skip your racist your comments for once and just give you a little curse of history instead. We beat US in Russia during the international intervention to Russia after the Russian revolution. We beat you in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and other proxy wars in 20th century. You never beat us on the battlefield. Cause you are not a nation of warriors, you are a nation of murders. And your own words just prove that: "It just depends on the cost that we would be willing to pay." That is a mindset of murderer and robber, not a warrior.

[Serb]

Come and get us, nazis. And let's finish this once and for all.
(and for everyone too)

[Serb]

I wouldn't like to be Serb. Every time I'd post there'd be subconcious knowledge that however disorganized and cautious the West may be it would still be able to squash Russia like a bug.

lol, sucker, The bald, organized and united as ever West has tried to do that twice in history, and the first time our Cossacks were in Paris soon after, the other time our tanks were in Berlin at the end of the day.

"The West" wasn't united on either occasion unless you think the British Empire wasn't part of the West.

[Felch]

Russian history teachers have a lot to answer for.

Even if there were incontrovertible proof that having a large military doesn't bring peace or stability and the U.S. drastically reduced it's military spending (saying a 80% reduction over what's already been proposed), I don't think the world would follow America's example. In fact I think rogue nations like North Korea and Syria would take advantage of the situation. Having a credible military threat mean that it must have the capability to reasonably carry out a proposed mission.

Yeah, but all the pentigon was actually talking about was a 5% reduction which is basically what is legally required of them out of the sequester law.
