Look the President's comment was idiotic and insulting to everyone's intelligence. That's all there is to it. He has been dismantling our nuclear capability and giving Russia the advantage in the Start talks. Get a clue, remember the remark he made the Russians when he thought no one was listening? Ya know, the "I'll be more flexible after the election" comment, assuming he will be reelected and can do whatever he wants? What Patriotic American would have ever said that to our former Cold War enemies?

Are they gonna arm wrestle the Chinese once both Russia and China defeat us from "within"
No I seriously consider your comment as genuine, but i think china has a better opportunity than russia.
The only time i'll be concern is if that whole missle shield, euro missile shield or whatever it was called will be put in place

That has been posted on here too. Right now the US Navy is under strain trying to keep up with the demands that our country makes of it. Sailors are having to spend much less time at home....and also in training, which is just adding gasoline to the fire IMHO.....because they are having to spend more time at sea.
Deployments for me were 6 months long, and I can tell you that not only was I glad to be home, so was my ship, with a lot of repairs needed.
Now they are having to spend sometimes 4 months more out there.....
If we need to be in places less, than yes, a smaller Navy can work just fine. But if not, you need to have enough ships that can be rotated out, so that the ones that need to can come home and get the repairs, and the personnel the training they need.
And that has NOT changed, since yes, even Horses and Bayonets. Doesn't mater how advanced a ship's weapon system is......ships still break and wear out, crews still need to rotate out and be trained.

I know, but honestly, no one can invade america, unless Russia and China joined forces... Does russia have the capacity to shuttle a billion soilders to u.s. soil? doubtful
