Business Insider: US allies worried about pricey weapons should look at what Russia's doing, the Navy's top officer in Europe says

* US and NATO officials have expressed concern about the growing size and sophistication of the Russian military arsenal.
* But the way Russia is deploying those weapons has some lessons for countries that want to bolster their defenses without breaking the bank, according to the head of US Naval Forces in Europe.

Usually when US military officials discuss Russian weapons systems, it's with words of caution.

Navy Adm. James Foggo, the head of US Naval Forces Europe and Africa, for example, has warned more than once about increasingly sophisticated Russian submarines and their ability reach into Europe with sub-launched missiles.

But in Washington, DC, in December, when asked about the US military's adoption of unmanned systems, long-range weapons, and long-range sensors and what that could mean for his operations, Foggo struck a different tone, citing Russian tactics as ones to emulate.

When the Soviet Union folded the US was robbed of an enemy.

Thinking is not your thing, Bob. Maybe you should stick to something with in your skill set like vegetating.

You keep going on that having a nuke will keep you safe, because if you don't have one, the US will in invade. Well the USSR did not have an nuke in 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948 and part of 1949. So what is your excuse?

The US did invade North Korea, but only after it invaded a peaceful South Korea. This was after The USSR had a nuke. Again what is your excuse?

Now Ukraine had nukes and gave them up. Who invaded? It was Russia.

Let's not forget that the Soviet Union stole land from 6 countries in the 1940s and took over 3 countries.

And yet our thinking vegetable (Bob) goes on incessantly about the US.


Maybe the the creators of the Trailer Park Boys should do an Archie Binker sitcom based on the musings of Bob.

They could call it "Ignorance, Stupidity, and Prejudice: The Life of Bob"

Bob, you are true believer, which sad to say is mostly based on you lack of knowledge, intelligence and gumption. But you mostly do this for shits and giggles per your own words.

When some rejects such as yourself starts throwing feces like a monkey at a zoo, it just causes others to step up their game and get reminded why they are not brain dead liberals.

Oh yes. Remember Bob the internet is a repository. Consider that what you have done is open a file on yourself in public.
