I love these military drills because in my lifetime I have never seen The might of Russia before and now I finally I can. Also This should also prove to the west that Russia Like other Former Soviet States Like Belarus can rebuild and re-capitalise from their Loss although they have inherited Soviet relics from the early 1990's. Now I finally do not agree that NATO does Military Drills in either Post-Soviet or Russian Airspace or ground. Because This is a provoking aggression Toward Russia and trying to worm their way into the Russian Secure Space among its former Soviet Counterparts, and try to divide their opinion that works against what Russia has been trying to do for nearly two Decades and that is to have security and peace in these regions. NATO,EU,and the U.S. please for all of our sakes please stay away from this rather Delicate process of peace because you are causing fear among the countries that you are trying to divide.

It is good to see Russia's military in such fit condition. The military assures self-determination in a world where conflict cannot always be resolved peacefully. Beyond the demands for a healthy military is the often neglected need for strong political channels and mechanisms for resolving conflict which could go military without political solutions being obtained. Political discourse as a means of resolving conflict lacks the charisma of military means to resolving conflict, but it can assure as good or better results if the will for political dialogue and problem solving exists.

Does performing the biggest military drill since the collapse of the USSR have anything to do with Barrack Obama's visit on Monday. Interesting to see the squaring up. God Bless America and Russia. Regards Anton

Russia and it's allies have always been the target of people trying to conquer the world. Napoleon, Hitler, etc. So I think that Russia deserves a military at least as powerful as the United States' one.
