russia is not a credible threat. and it is decades away from being one.



Losing? Lose to whom? Current events don't seem be anywere close. As for
Russia? They have in the last year expanded their military activity. They
are flying Bears again, opposed our missile defence plans, and Nato
expansions. Decades may be a bit much.


Russia is not the only possible future technologically advanced enemy -
don't take your eyes of China, or a possible Arab alliance.
