Russia is the only country in world that could prove to be some kind of threat to US. Americans are nobody friends. There should be military alliance between Russia, China and India against NATO and the US. China and India has the second and third largest armies and Russia has highly developed Weapon system. All three states are nuclear armed and could pose a serious military and economic threat to NATO and the US. Time has changed and there should be a shift in the balance of power. There should be new AXIS powers- (RUSSIA, CHINA & INDIA) Unbeatable.

Hate militarism for militarism is bad for the world but as long as the U.S imperialists are bent on dominating the world in their dream of gaining a Full Spectrum Dominance over the world world-including outer space-strong Russia is the only counterweight to restrain The U.S imperialistic expansion. This is my view but I would like to say that Vladimir Putin is the ablest and the man who truly understands the the U.S imperialistic dream of Full Spectrum Dominance. President Medvedev made very bad start with his bookish image but also his PR people made tactical error of falling prey to Western media campaign that paint Medevdev as a junior to the real master-Putin. Rather than showing that indeed Putin’s ideas are brilliant and that he backs them up 100% he wasted his first year in office rebranding is self image as not being like Putin! He seem to realise his errors and his last end of the year address to the media seems to suggest that he is a fighter as much as a bookish geek. Putin knows that game and is a master tactician and will be remembered in history as the man who saved Russia and the world from the jaws of the worst imperialism in 21 century.

NEVER BRING A KINFE TO A GUN FIGHT. This must be Putin's idea of balance of power. It is such a waste for our countrie's resources to spend so much on weapons when both countries already have enough nukes and delivery systems to destroy the world, several times. It would be nice, if any future disagreement could be setteled by staging a contest between the Russian leaders and the American leaders, without war and a lot of innocent Russians and Americans having to die. They could settle on using "HAND TO HAND" combat or any other form fighting to determine the winner. Even the CONGRESS of both countries could participate in the "LEADERS ONLY WAR". This would mark an end to the useless loss of millions of innocent lives in a war. Only the leaders who cause the war would have to fight. Would any "POLITICAL WARRIORS, ARM CHAIR WARRIORS" be brave enough for this kind of WAR?

balance How many dumb decisions has Putin made in the past? I know nothing about these weapons but Putin is cold, calculating and very smart and will not waste the resources of his nation on weapons which are wasteful. Call me fool, but I think Putin is the man: he knows what is doing.

Im pretty sure we ended the Missile shield. All this hoopla about the missile shield is bull. Putin just wants your blind support. I pity you people, have no real freedom of speech. I wonder if this comment will even make it up?.....Since RT is a state owned news organization. hahaha
