    Count warheads. Russia is still a superpower. Their economy is leaps and bounds what it was during the Cold War, as is their technology because they got access to pretty much everything available in the West. They drive Hondas and BMW's and talk on smart phones now. They've also been plowing money into modernization. Though still far behind the West, they're catching up as long as oil prices remain high. Pushing the US out of the Middle East is one way to get those prices back up.

    Where they cut back is in the sheer size of their conventional forces. They also realized how vulnerable their forces were to Western weapons, and so unlike the Cold War, they're not deluded into thinking their conventional forces are a match for the West. Thus they're not going to play that game. With nuclear forces they actually have the advantage in throw weight and number of warheads. As long as they make it very plain (which they've been doing) that any war between Russia and the West will go nuclear, the West can't risk attacking them. But Obama is going to do it anyway because he's a narcissistic delusional dumbass. So if the balloon goes up, no biggie, because liberals will be vaporized far far out of proportion to population. Eliminate about 20 of the biggest cities in the US and the Democrats will never again break 100 electoral votes, and they will never again threaten Russia.

    And in Hillary they see an existential threat. She got on the debate stage and started ranting about the Russians like she was Joe McCarthy. If we believed her bullshit we'd probably go through Hollywood rooting out Russian sympathizers.

    We're not talking television. We're talking about the extremely alarming statements and actions in Russia. They conducted nuclear defense drills with 40 million people taking part. Their TV is telling people how to prepare for the coming nuclear conflict. People on the streets are explaining how long it will take them, personally, to get to the nearest bomb shelter. They are in full-bore 1950's nuclear war paranoia while we're watching The Kardashians" and talking about what an awful groper Donald Trump is.

    I barely know who the "kardashians" are and Donald Trump is an "awful groper".

    Not sure where you get the information about the rest.

    Well, obviously I don't get the information about the rest from the US media, who have decided to pretty much black out any real news that isn't about Trump groping somebody. If you check non-US news sites, you can read all about Russia's civil defense drills and near panic about the coming nuclear war. They even interviewed Soviet jail inmates about it, and the inmates said they know they'll die in the first attacks because the jails have no shelters of any kind, nor was their ever a plan to get them through a nuclear war. They're resigned to their fate.

    Here's Hillary after the debate, on her plane talking to her loyal followers.



    I cracked up when she said "We are a nation of laws!" :rotfl:

    You can also tell that her drugs are starting to wear off.

    I'm actually a little frightened by the fact that not only do I agree with this statement, but that I'm also agreeing with you.

    War between US and Russia Could Be Sooner than Later. “The Danger of a Nuclear War”

    Right now the US mainstream media is obsessing over Donald’s alleged womanizing and female groping soap opera as the Clinton’s/MSM’s pruriently entertaining smokescreen, neatly designed to cover up Hillary/Bill’s serial raping and her criminal lead role as enabler/strong armed intimidator of past victims.

    Meanwhile, barely noticed in a virtual media blackout in the West are at least a half dozen high alert, significant international developmentsthis last weekend that all strongly indicate the extreme danger of a nuclear war breaking out at any time against Russia and its Eastern alliance. Again, do not pay attention to the US deceivers behind their Oz-like curtain and their frenzied pushing of Western propaganda machine levers as sleight of hand distraction to willfully withhold the fact that many unreported major world events are simultaneously occurring now that foretell the start of World War III potentially just days away.

    The current threat level to every human life on this planet even surpasses the October Cuban Missile Crisis of 54 years ago as the earth today is in more peril by manmade destruction than any previous time in human history. Yet the neocon madness of Obama, Hillary and their MSM minions do not want Americans to know this dire truth that the US is rapidly moving to very likely execute a series of false flags that could ignite a global war between US-NATO and the Eastern powers: Russia, China and Iran.

    Russian Television Warns of Nuclear War Amid US Tensions

    With diplomatic relations between Moscow and Washington at their lowest point since the Cold War, turning on Russian television can be an alarming experience. For the past month, Russian media outlets have been punctuated with reports asking people whether they are ready for nuclear war.

    "If it should one day happen, every one of you should know where the nearest bomb shelter is. It’s best to find out now," according to one particularly fevered report on the Russian state-owned channel, NTV.

    Russia’s main current affairs show, hosted by a presenter known by critics as the country’s propagandist-in-chief, recently spent two hours warning that Russia would defend itself with nuclear arms.

    "We’ve had it with American abuse over Syria," the show’s host, Evgeny Kiselyov, told his audience. "Impudent behavior," from the U.S. towards Russia, he said, can now take on "nuclear dimensions."

    Anti-Americanism is not rare on Russian state news, nor is an inclination for the apocalyptic. But more notable than the intensity of the warnings has been how Russian government ministries have joined in the alarms in recent weeks. Since September, Russia has conducted a nationwide civil defense drill, purportedly involving 40 million people, preparing them for catastrophes -- among them nuclear fallout. Russia’s military announced who would run the country in the event of war and ran an exercise simulating that in the south.

    Even more bluntly, Russia announced this week it was moving nuclear-capable ballistic missiles into its Northern European enclave, Kaliningrad, putting them within striking distance of Western capitals. In the same week, Russia test-fired 3 intercontinental ballistic missiles.

    Putin ally tells Americans: vote Trump or face nuclear war

    Newsweek

    PUTIN’S THINLY VEILED THREAT OF NUCLEAR WAR IS WORKING

    Moscow recently announced that it will procure 50 new nuclear-capable bombers, the Tupolev TU-160 or Blackjacks, which are the world's largest combat aircraft. This seemingly anodyne announcement points to a critically important element of Russian strategy that we overlook at our and our allies' peril.

    The procurement is the latest in a continuing series of unilateral Russian violations of arms-control agreements and treaties with the United States and Ukraine. The systematic dismantling of arms-control agreements through unilateral violations has become a consistent theme of Russian policy.

    If Putin actually goes to war anywhere it would most certainly be the three Baltic states.

    small, easily handled by any reasonable level of Russian power, short supply lines, substantial minorities of ethnic Russians for Putin to "rescue". Also Russian success (as in lack of NATO response) would cause the de facto collapse of the NATO alliance thus giving in the eyes of many Russians "victory" over the west.

    Frankly, it's rather easy to believe. It's been clear for a while that Trump is utterly predictable and quick to make an ass of himself, and the only reason other Republicans couldn't take advantage is because attacking Trump loses votes with the Republican base. As soon as he faced a Democrat in a debate, Trump was always going to be properly attacked and always going to completely lose it. Trump is John Castle with a filthy rich daddy.

    So it's just coincidence that every major Trump fuckup except for the video was in reaction to Hillary?

    Who invited the Khan's to the convention?
    Who brought up Alicia Machado in the first debate?
    Who wound up Trump in the last debate, using words like 'choke' 'puppet' 'failure'?
