re: Russia sends worlds largest Sub to the Baltic: armed with 20 nuclear missiles

Russia's Navy isn't as strong, but it doesn't need to be. They aren't nation building; they do not need to build a big navy to protect their oil and natural gas from flowing smoothly as we do here in the states.

So, their navy not being a threat is irrelevant.

Where they are better than us is on the ground. More tanks; better tanks; and they have caught up technological wise with their nukes to their precision missiles (if not surpassed us entirely; thank you Obama).

The frightening thing is that we don't truly know what the hell China or Russia really has. They could have things we haven't seen yet. We have things they haven't seen yet too I'd assume.

I do not wish to find out either way.
