Actually, 'Russia' spent more resources maintaing the other states of the USSR than they returned in resources.  So with Russia being stand-alone now, they actually have more resources to devote their military since they are not trying to support the economies of their satellite states.

[offtopic] Estel, where are you from? While visiting the MAKS 2007 I met Boroda and some of his friends, too bad you weren't there (?) [/offtopic]


I finally got rid of internet connection at home, so I get some sleep at night again :D

Estel is from Msk too, unfortunately he was on the vacation all August.

Pre or Post Iraq?  Our power projection status is seriously in doubt.

I can name a country that holds approximately 60% of our national debt... thereby offhandedly owning our military.

Considerably funny, since we have missiles as old as theirs or older, sitting in silos right now.

Whatever man.... this 'debt' you refer to is an illusion.  It's an instrument of the 'new world order'.  What are they gonna do to us?  Stop selling us quarter machine toys and children's toys with lead paint?

AFAIK there's no people here born before 1917, so your sentence is generally true, except for quite a few guys who were born after 1991.

I guess your sources about the state of affairs in Strategic Missile Corps are much more reliable then mine, you probably even saw something about it on TV, did ya? Or even some B-movies with Russian characters like General Gogol or Corporal Yebanovich?
