I was under the impression that Russia was kind of bankrupt too.
Didn't the arms build-up of the cold war contribute to the Sovjet Union's financial problems, and eventual down-fall?

Wouldn't it be nice if the USA and Russia would invest the trillions and trillions they spend on war and death, and put It towards their people, their country, their future...
Instead, the leaders of all the land masses on earth choose to fight each other... and waste money, like they think the land was given to them.
I wish i could find a planet without greed, anger, and control.

Have you heard about the Su-34 fiasco? So much for "the most powerful military" and "spending trillions". They have 16 Su-34s, and every one of them has problems, including 2 that aren't even flyable. They apparently built the computer boards and parts by hand, and they're not even standardized.
