It owns how Russia is getting away with all its shenanigans since Putin keeps on swinging for the fences since he knows the west can't escalate.

Also weakling Obama is basically using the soft power approach to deal with Putin. Things like encouraging foreign capital flight or trying to choke off bond sales is basically a more cunning way than going for a tom Clancy shooting way.

why would they even want to patrol the gulf of mexico and the Caribbean lol what the gently caress

why are they spending so much money on useless military expenditure while half their population drinks itself to death before the age of 35?


at this point it's like he's just doing it for the benefit of his own people. like N. Korea rattling their saber at the US.

russia is already hemorrhaging money and they are spending even more of it on these dumb military maneuvers

once they reach -10 gold per turn their units start to disband right

Nuking Russia isn't a viable strategy. If an all out nuclear war happened, Russia would have the best odds of surviving simply because it's infrastructure is so spread out and Russia is just so drat huge.

Granted the world would be hosed and most of the Russians would be dead, but odds are enough towns and villages would survive that a new Russian nation would be able to emerge after some time.

United States... the odds are significantly lower.

honestly if it came right down to it and both sides nuked each other I would be fairly surprised if more than a quarter of the missiles launched correctly let alone detonated as they should.

Somehow I don't think all that poo poo has been maintained as it should have been.

The bombs from planes would probably still work but those aren't as good.

Russia's just mad they aren't a superpower anymore and nearly all of their eastern European "buddies" are now in the US camp. Russia is pretty terrible at the whole evil empire thing, america is way better at it

Russian sphere of influence barely extends past their own borders while nearly the whole planet is within the US sphere

sucks that a country full of nihilists have nukes though
