No way. Russia would bomb the US back to the stone age. Not even a contest.

I think you've got it flipped. The Cold War was largely fear porn propaganda on the American people. The US claimed Russia had 6000 nukes so it had to get more, meanwhile they only had 8. (Numbers are approximated due to my poor memore, but the real ones are equally stupid.) Regardless, nuclear war is MAD: mutually assured destruction. I don't think that's ever going to happen.

If you're not talking about nukes then you're again deluded. USA spends more on their war machine than the rest of the world COMBINED. That we know of. That's not even counting all the black ops / black market stuff. Sure, I know much of that is inefficient and corrupt scams that can never be traced. But there's no way Russia has more bombs. I'm not bragging for the USA. I'm Canadian, and lucky to be so, but not proud of something I had nothing to do with.
