USA has far superior conventional forces and better planes, ships, tanks and technology and better trained solders

Russia has a clear advantage in Nuclear weapons and capabilities. I hope Trump can double our Nuclear weapons and fast.

Under OBama, our Military is being run by Ivy league progressive hacks and not by the people who should be running it.

There convenfional military strength is a fallacy. Even in the Soviet era they were chased out of Afghanistan. Nuclear carriers are a world away from what they have.

Russia has a largely defensive military, relying on state of the art anti aircraft and anti-ship missile shields, with a mobile infantry for ground wars.

The US emphasis is on massive bombing, with several fleets around the world and many bases able to use stealth bombers to destroy whole cities, such as Shock and Awe on Baghdad in 2003 and the destruction of Kabul in November 2001.

But we both have thousands of warheads and hundreds upon hundreds of delivery methods ready to fire quickly. Many from both sides even having MIRVs that would split of and nuke several spots at once.

Yes, they may have a little bit more nukes (they do), so in that sense they might theoretically have a better nuke force.

But it matters 0%. Why? Because we both have not only enough to destroy all relevant targets in the other nation (yes, we still can take out all of Russia at a moments notice), but really the entire globe.

So, why again is what we have inadequate to get the job done? What, do you want to make it a 4000 meter deep crater over Moscow, rather than a 400m one?
