    Yeah we do, not like you think.

    We spent trillions over the past few decades while Russia was collapsing like a flan.

    Russia thinks they have nukes so that makes them feel safe, but you know the US never, ever goes without having a solution beforehand.

    Abm is 1 layer, we have a dozen others, because they don’t cost that much and we have nothing but people having ideas all the time.

    The whole point is that Russia knows, we can hit their launchers before they can fire (ours fire so much faster and aren’t liquid fuel, and we have so many fast attack subs compared to their few borei).

    They know they have a 50:50 chance at best to seriously hurt us, and Russia, the area of land they occupy, will be removed from the planet in that case.

    They pretend they actually are strong because the Russian mentality is ‘you are strong or you are a victim’, which is why they constantly piss people off and make everyone hate them, because they’d rather be hated than have people think they’re weak.

    Ukraine destroyed that illusion, everyone expected them to walk across in days. We now know for a fact that Russia is a true Potempkin state.

    And all the countries that have historical grudges with Russia? Ie, their neighbors?

    When it comes, it will come at once.
