For the millionth time, Russia spends 7% of what we do on their military. Even allowing for the fact that our politicians steal half, we would be spending 7 times the amount Russia does. We would beat Russia almost as badly as we beat Sadaam.

I feel like you people are crazy. money isn't everything. F35, zumwalt, rail guns.. failures and/or ENORMOUS money pits. plus our naval strategies (in particular) are outdated with our insistence on carrier groups. imagine if Russia sunk a couple trillion dollars worth of carriers/jets/personnel with 2 50 million dollar hypersonic missiles? Our spending didnt help us against Taliban..... or Vietnam... We are woefully inefficient in our dollars to production ratio. hell.. I work for the Missile Defense Agency. which is, what, like 40 years old now? sure. we've developed some cool things, but 40 years and tra trillions of dollars later and its all still defeatable by a few decoy missiles or a hypersonic missile.
a war against a near peer would be the end of the US, win or lose.
