    "Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and 'smart!'" Mr Trump said in his tweet.

    All air bases must be destroyed if of course the west is "seriously" worried about the security of its only true ally in the region. Also let's not forget the risk of losing everything to Russia-Iran in western Syria.

    Military secrets are the most fleeting.

    Not too worried. Even if Russia knows how to build cruise missiles, its rotting economic infrastructure will make producing them a burden.

    Both, USA and Russia have "Detroit" cities, but I don't think Russia has a "Chicago" problem AKA Chiraq. And, the most criminal countries are in central America. So, who's the rotten here? Russia's backyard does not look that criminal, does it? And, if it does, who brought it there?

    I wonder if you’re aware that everyone completely disregards everything you say. You convince nobody of anything because of your overly enthusiastic and dramatic criticism of the US combined with your unflappable defense of Russia regardless of reality.

    We respond to you for our own amusement but your ideas are discarded as soon as we click away from your thread.

    Russian experts thanks to the two cruise missiles delivered by Syria, used during the attack of the United States, will be able to learn the latest western developments and improve their missile defense and electronic warfare system, a member of the expert council of the board of the Military Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation Viktor Murakhovsky told RIA Novosti.

    "It would also be interesting to look at the US missile, which was first used by the US in combat operations - JASSM-ER.The study of these missiles can help Russia improve its ABM and EW systems." We will be able to learn in detail the latest Western developments, designers will be interested to look at these rockets ", - concluded the expert.

    Yay, lots of money for the MIC little to no strategic damage and technology in enemy hands for analysis. Obama would not **** up like Twitler. Perhaps next time we do something it would be good not to direct our military to piss into the wind.

    They don't have to, Russia may have some imperialistic goals, but nothing yet as marked as the US'. They just have to develop a decent countermeasure, for a fraction of the price, effectively negating said expensive US junk while keeping a pleasant smile.

    About 200 million dollars. This is only the cost of missiles. What is the cost of the entire operation to destroy two abandoned buildings in Syria for the American taxpayer - is unknown.
    And of course a nice bonus for the Russians - two new American missiles (which by the way did not explode) to improve new developments of Russian air defense. And the Russians got it all for free. American taxpayers paid this gift to the Russians ..

    Were they shut down by Russia's awesome electronics jamming technology? *hint hint* Come on, guys. You're missing a great opportunity here.

    That's not a worry, the worry is not to lose everything to Turkey - or is it Saudi Arabia these days? Of course it would please you no end, so how is the weather there?

    Yes, but the stocks of the military industrial complex rose dramatically, so the neo cons and others made a killing.

    Strange thing about those two missiles, why didn't they explode? I betcha they were French? Maybe they should stick to cheese. :roflol:

    I'm only joking)

    Not so, it costs Russia about 10% to produce the same product than what it costs the US. Russia doesn't need to import any raw materials as well as parts. If you add China to the expanse of Russia, since the trade between them is increasing daily, they have become a world in itself.

    Turkey is the latest that is going off the American dollar. Add them to the Brics and some others, and the Western world has a big problem.

    I would think that this is a sector which they do not allow a rotting economic situation to affect that much. For I am sure one of their main priorities is defense and they have much less to work with than the US, given their economy is about the same size as Spain's. So they must be very smart in how they use their defense spending, and indeed have been, in concentrating on missile tech and perhaps others things.

    Russia is no real worry to the US and its own national security. It is certainly not a threat. But making them a threat is very profitable for a few at the top. And of course russia is listed in PNAC and PNAC is what is driving our foreign policy sine 911.

    What we have done in regards to russia, economic warfare, including the artificially low price for oil, and making them paranoid in our never ending move to surround them with NATO troops and assets, along with ABMs being placed on their borders as we lie to them about the reason, and as we pulled out of the ABM treaty, has given russia a damn good reason to be opposed to us. And to be worried as to what insane action we will take next. We are intentionally trying to back russia into a corner, which is not how we dealt with the old USSR, back when we had more responsible leaders and few neocons. It is irresponsible, but PNAC is irresponsible and dangerous foreign policy. While US hegemony might in some small way benefit an average american, the people who really reap the rewards are the people at the top, who own the big banks, the huge corporations. No one should be surprised that the PNAC scheme created by war mongering elites would see personal benefits from their foreign policy.

    Youve got to sort out the troll factory posters first to be sure who's who... Check out my oldest posts from 2015. There's no conflicting posture.
    Last time I checked he was theorizing and the trillion dollar dude in Moscow was trying to put that in play. You tell me :)

    I think you shouldn't post anything about politics with such a narrow perspective because everytime you do so you make a great fool out yourself and make people laugh at you. Think!
    Bringing NKorea to the US demands is a much harder job than taking care of the "all-of-a-sudden-reformist" Saudi Arabia or the "all-time-US-air-raid-cheer-leader" Turkey... Youve been always weak.

    No. These missiles simply asked for political asylum in Russia. They say that they can not be in the same place with the crazy in the White House and the Pentagon. Even Trump said it was "smart missiles."

    I wonder if you are aware of the number of "likes" in his OP as compared the number you received for your response.
