But Russia used to be a power and they have a macho acting leader. Obviously they are a great military threat to the world.


Dude, it's so funny. He takes some shirtless photos and has machismo so suddenly he's taking it to President Obama (meanwhile, Russia is losing their economic stability and credibility in the rest of the world).

You nailed it on the head.

Also laughed at this because -- most Russian tanks are

1. Outdated.

2. Concentrated in one area.

3. Suffering mechanical failures.

They're much like China -- they produce one technological wonder and so everyone thinks every thing they have is exactly as that one is when in reality it makes up almost nothing of their fleets or divisions.

More tanks.

More aircraft.

Better aircraft.

Better Navy.

Better technology.

More resources.

More combat veterans (way more).

More allies.

Russia lllllloves the 1970's and so they know if they get a reaction they will keep up with this macho posturing bullshite.

The reason I react to this conversation so much is because I have a bunch of frickin' idiot friends who adore Russia, or at the very least are enamored with them.

''Women are prettier.''

''The men are more manly.''

''Spetznaz #1 yasss.''

frickin' burns me, man.

Americans love a show and Putin delivers that. The appearance of strength is enough to con folks into seeing actual strength.

Then you know, Obama wears mom jeans.

I know it's simply aesthetics, but I would like the next president to at least...not wear mom jeans.

Pronounce corpsman correctly (I'm ex-Navy and that one hurt), maybe be a little closer to the American military.

Not a war-monger, but also not a cherry, you know?
