Why do people believe Russia poses a threat again?

Misinformation and people tapping into the old *red scare*. Same goes for people that think china is a bigger powerhouse than it is.

what is that a picture of? gdps?

seems off if it is.

Russia still has power projecting capabilities

the Russians state has shown itself willing to use these capabilities in conventional and non conventional means

Russia also knows its place economically. So wont do anything stupid enough to force EU or US hand.

Russia still has loads of levarage over the EU

and there isnt much the US can do without pushing them to the chinese arms

which is a worse outcome since China is the only country right now that can become a hegemon

and so far its been more the US and the EU pushing Russia

Cause russians use unmarked soldiers to walk over Ukraine soil

Country doesn't need to have a huge GDP to be able to kill/maim/displace millions of people in a very short period of time especially nowadays. On the other hand, I would agree that the fear generated by the media is a load of shit. @radeon

I was talking military threat

They don't have the economic output to ever support full scale war, not even close

@radeon
Russia has more nukes than the US, that's why

and we have countermeasures for all of them

Yeah but the point is once shit pops off, you don't just whoopdie doo put it to rest, millions of people will be affected.

Like with North Korea, obviously we would entirely eliminate them, but not before millions of people died.

MAD makes nuclear weapons pointless

Regardless of nukes, even with other bombs and missiles a lot will be lost.

right but your losses from combat will vastly outweight your territorial/political gains

MAD applies to non-nuclear as well

My point is that no I don't think there is much to be too concered about regarding possible conflicts with Russia but I wouldn't say that if an engagement did break out, that there would be a small number of casualties.

russias military is a joke

Yes but I don't think Russia would care too much about avoiding collateral damages. They would have no problem attacking civilian infrastructure if a serious conflict opened up.

they literally haven't finished fully phasing in the AK-74M, and it was adopted in 1991
