If it came to Cold War 2, I would not at all be shocked if it ended within 10 years with Russia going bankrupt again.Pirating_Ninja said: lol, maybe. Putin lived through the collapse of the USSR and the bankruptcy though, so I don't think he would make a plan that would just repeat that, I don't know what his plan could possibly be thoughMaybe Russia can go ahead and bankrupt themselves again, just to then take apart all the billions they wasted on missiles instead of their destitute population. |

| i vaguely understand why Putin feel so threatened by USA, its not like USA is invading Russia, meanwhile Russia is the one thats trying to invade and expand its territories |
| Like it's that hard to..the success rate of the defense system isn't as great as it could be. I think Israel can boast a 90% success rate, and that's one of the best systems out. Then again, I'm no expert so maybe they are very good. |

And it didn't, it's not like west was going to lose the cold war mentality. Romney called Russia enemy number one in 2012, when he was running for presidency and long before Ukraine, doesn't exactly makes ya want to drop your missile plans, does it? And currently the US does look scary with all its messiah rhetoric, incredibly huge war budget, jingoism, taste for war, bases all over the world and complete disregard for human life abroad (especially in non-first world countries). |

I'd look more to the US than Russia going bankrupt they spend more than the next 12 largest militaries combined and 9 times what Russia spends. Russian Armed forces spend increase is actually due to the 2008 military reform bill which was for a reorganisation and modernisation of it's armed forces mainly the replacement of all the old soviet era equipment and a reduction in the size of it's forces by about a third, they've done all this at a fraction of the cost of the flying duck called the F-35- lightning ii. And yes they have missile systems we currently have no defence against. |
