Come up with all the diversion you need, but at the end of the day Putin wants Trump as President and you are complicit and supportive of selling the nation out to Russians.
Thats what you call all the failures of the party to take Trump down. Diversions?
The Russians aren't coming, they are a broke nation. Their last aircraft carrier has to be towed. If you want to fall for Russia Russia Russia part two, help yourself.
You wouldn't even know why Putin would want Trump as president. You just regurgitate it because its what you're told to do.
Its just fodder for the little brains to have something to squawk about.
Modern Russia inherited the military arsenal of the former Soviet Union, complete with a formidable force of nuclear-armed missiles, but it also inherited all the structural economic problems that plagued the USSR. Moreover, the breakup of the Soviet Union, and the loss of Soviet control over the eastern bloc, left Russia with a much smaller population and industrial base and a military arsenal that needs billions to stay effective.
In 1989, when the Soviet Union collapsed, its population was roughly 286 million. The U.S., by comparison, had a population of about 249 million. Since then, the U.S. population has grown to about 325 million, while that of Russia has fallen to about 143 million.
A comparison of automobile production between us can serve as a rough index of industrial capacity. In 2016, Russia produced about 1.3 million vehicles. The U.S. in comparison produced around 12.2 million vehicles.
In terms of GDP, in 1989 the Gross Domestic Product of the U.S. was $4.862 trillion, while that of the Soviet Union was $2.5 trillion. Per capita GDP was $19,800 versus $8,700.
By comparison, in 2016 Russia's GDP was $1.283 trillion, while that of the U.S. had grown to $18.62 trillion. Russian per capita GDP was roughly the same at $8,946, while that of the United States had increased to $57,608.
At $1.283 trillion, Russia's GDP is smaller than Turkey's and just barely larger than the Philippines. Alternatively, it is slightly larger than the state of New York and slightly smaller than that of Texas. Russia may have inherited the military arsenal of a super power, but it is an economic dwarf on the world stage.
The Kremlin's dilemma is that Russia's military aspirations are simply too big for its wallet. It may have a formidable military force, but that force requires maintenance to keep it effective and its technology has a life span. Most of it will be obsolete within one generation, all of it in less than two.
They are no more a threat the the US than Turkey is. If you want to worry about somebody, worry about China.
