Related: About this forumBig Bear Rising: Russia will spend 640 Billion to Upgrade Military
I have completely ignored the ridiculous (and inaccurate) title of this RT video. Watch, and you'll see what I mean.
I'm especially intrigued by the fact that Israel is selling weapons to the Russians, along with the French and Italians.
Who do these "allies" of yours think that shit will be used against?

Meanwhile, the US will spend more than ten times over the same period.

We must be able to crush anyone in the world, yet we will wage these never ending wars.

It's a known fact that Putin despises the Mountaineers. Ask elleng if you don't believe me.

You made the comment in your op, I'm curious who you think Russia poses a military threat to.

(48,181 posts)11. Well your insults are devastating, but I would still like to know who
Russia is a military threat to.
You said:

Who exactly is Russia going to use these weapons against?
