Aging Russian Military Scales Up Rearmament -- Deutsche Welle
NATO's secretary general has once again warned of Russia's military capacities. A look at the country's armed forces shows modernizing equipment, more flexible soldiers and nuclear parity.
"Russian defense spending has grown by more than 10 percent in real terms each year over the past five years," said NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen at a security conference in Bratislava, Slovakia on Thursday (15.05.2014).
Rasmussen then bleakly contrasted Moscow's upward investments with declining equivalents in several European NATO countries, each of which cut spending by roughly 20 percent during that same period.
The comments by the secretary general were the strongest yet in a string of warnings on Russia's military capacity after the country annexed Crimea in March and stationed troops on Ukraine's eastern border.

My Comment: From my perspective it seems that Russia is rebuilding it's military in stages. The first stage involved special forces. Second .... nuclear forces. Third .... the Air Force. And the last will probably be the Navy and regular Army.

So what! They are building up their millitary. Why does NATO have to anounce that as a "warning"?
USA's millitary spending is more worrying to the world than any other country.
Even that the Us wage alot of wars in the name of "freedom and peace" they are not the ones snatching territory from another country. . In today's world ppl dont see the fact that Russia took territory from another country as a big deal, ppl dont actually see how worried are the nations on east europe.. 80 years ago the same situation would turn out very different and would end up in a HUGE bloodshed. .
Good point but what about the fact that The US slaughtered more than 2 MILLION iraqis? Isnt that a big deal? No?
Isnt it a big deal that they nuked a country before? (Hiroshima) and to this day people are still sufferening diseases from it......
I have nothing to be biased about when it comes to Russia and the US.
Just look at what each side have done......
Yeah Salim we just lined up 2 million Iraq's and shot them it's not like a civil war was going on.
Nuking the Japanese saved more lives if the US invaded more would have died on both sides quite nit picking history Salim.
And lastly communism has killed millions and millions more than us evil Americans.
You hate America and not Americans best comment ever on WNU.
And Iv never been anti eastern just anti extremist,communist.
I want to know who's English literature your reading ....Oh and how's the weather in the UK treating you.
You know how the british weather is like......very very random but atm is quite hot
I hope you don't take this the wrong way Salim but I think your hate is indoctrinated rather than self disagreement with American policy. . The fact that you twist History to favor your opinion is clear evidence of this.. How can you deny the fact that Americans even that they messed up numbers of times, had and keep helping alot of countries and people, and so many call the American Globo cop and say they always get involved too much in the affears of other countries but.. but let me tell you something... do you know how Bad how lives would've be if the US didn't keep some countries in Check? Look how bad Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe is because the US is backing up and getting soft with other nations.. Look how many death in Syria and the abuse of Chemical wep used against people.. that is just a Hint of this world without the US.
The only reason you think i "twist" the history is because i think differntly rather than being a deluded sheep. Always think outside the box.
You keep on telling your self that my views have been "indoctorated".
Ok the USA does try to help but the only reason they keep "on check" on country is so they can use them. "I.e. Iraq for oil. Afghanistan for geo-polictical ageda)
I hope you dont mind me asking but are you a jew?
No Salim im actually Dominican, Born on a tiny Islan in the Caribbean sea, I don't have to be a Jew to see have a different opinion, My country was invaded by the US too, during a civil war that was tearing my country apart.. the US Intervention saved many lives by quickly ending the war.. I dont expect you to see or know about it, but my country doesn't have anything that the US could possibly want.. but they still did what it was the right things to do and saved alot of lives..
We wasted damn near 1 trillion dollars on Iraq and you think we get free oil .And we had a damn good reason for Afghanistan wether you believe it or not.
And how the hell would you feel if I said I was anti Palestine but not anti Palestinian there one and the same.
Goodwin,
Glad things worked out for you guys.
I deeply apolagise phil.
And if im honest, if u sed u were anti palestine but not anti palestinian then i'd be very annoyed at you.
However, my views and opinions on things has not budged.
I have noticed how my comments make everyone upset, angry and annoyed.
So from now on i will keep my mouth shut. And not make comments on WNU ever again. But i'l still vist WNU for news updates. Its a pretty awesome news web.
Again, i apolagise.
I wish peace between my nation and the USA.
(I was born in the UK but i love to think that my nation is palestine....or whats left of it Anyway)
Salim,
No need to be quiet. You're young and have the fire in your belly of the true believer and so you're a little touchy about you're beliefs. That's cool, just remember disagreement is not always disrespect.
I like to keep an open mind about things. Case in point Israel building settlements in Palestinian territory and dismantaling peace talks. Which this administration was very much against one of the few things I actually agreed with....but in all seriousness Salim tell us how you really fell:)
And play nice..yall have a good night.
