What is the source for this article? How can you post an article without a source? :pop:
Just kidding.
I heard YEARS ago (as in, at least 10) that Russia was spending a LARGE portion of her national budget on beefing up her military. So I think this has been going on for years.
That article doesn't sound very scary though -- it almost serves better to convince its readers that Russia is not a threat -- at all -- than to wake anybody up.
The truth is, Russia is going to overrun Europe (which I believe was mentioned in the Third Secret). I don't think we have 10 or 20 years left, either. So whatever Russia has, Europe must have much less.
Some food for thought: Russia only has one old rickety Aircraft Carrier, but Russia has developed some AWESOME missiles that are so deadly, they make Aircraft Carriers obsolete -- and they have sold these missiles to Iran and other US enemies. So maybe Russia knows that ACs are obsolete now.
In Christ,
