Sergey Shoigu said Russia will focus on weapons to level the playing field against overwhelming U.S. force.

Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has suggested that the"huge" U.S. military budget could be cut if American foreign policy was less aggressive.published on Sunday, Shoigu said Russian armed forces were more concerned with defense of the country rather than force projection, and would prioritize weapons to level the playing field with the U.S. military.

But Shoigu argued that Russian military spending is proportionate to the country's foreign policy goals."The U.S. spends huge amounts of money on private military contractors, on aircraft carriers," he told the."Does Russia really need five to ten aircraft carrier strike groups, considering that we do not intend to attack anyone?" he asked.

"Was that Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya? And one certainly can forget about sovereignty and independence after American involvement."

You’d like that, wouldn’t you...

Putin is a kissasssuckfacebaby

There is some truth there.

FakeNews

Russia accusing someone else of attacking other nations is a sad and cynical joke...

Where is the lie?

RobertGEdge It's a gravy train, which is why the US keeps doing it.

Hahahaa.... Russia who has so often forget to Respect the Borders. Hungary Czechoslovakia Georgia Crimea SYRIA The Green Men's Memory LOL

DenbrotS That would sure make the Russian Mob happy. ...go figure, eh!

TheAltWorld

And let them do it instead...

FigVilleUSA What’s the point of that?

True, money spent to muddle up and fixing back other nations should be well spend to bring refugees in, to develop vast inhabited empty land.

So now you’re delivering messages for Putin too eh?

If Putin says it, Trump will do it, because Putin has 'the goods' on Trump and can play him like a puppet to the detriment of the USA and the Rest of the World. Trump sold the West down the river just to get Russia's assistance to win 2016 and he's doing it again.

Russian defense chief should take his own advice and do the same. Stop attacking other nations to build the Russian empire.

MarkSleboda1 what would all those retired generals do, then - contribute to Soylent Green?

Or defending them from Russia and proxies he added in coded message to WH

Hi, Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

Russian defense chief says U.S. could cut military budget by 90% if it stopped attacking other nations to maintain it’s empire.

Well what’s the fun in THAT! That would be just too easy, now wouldn’t it In the age of Trump, we must all act stupidly.

Kind of obvious but hey if that's who people will listen to okay.

They are some cheeky bastards.

Since WW I USA has this syndrome of policing the world.

Russia would take the position then two b....s on the same rope.

One step further, get the Zionists out of the government and end all wars.

Hmm, he's not wrong...

So? When did we start taking instructions from our sworn enemy Russia? Oh yeah, when trump was bought and paid for by Putin. GMAMFB!

'Russian defense chief says U.S. could cut military budget if it stopped attacking other nations' Russia could've cut its' own military budget if it had not attacked the Ukraine.

I mean, they’re not wrong...

There is no reason for violence today. The US could just cut it's military spending

Where's the lie?

Daily insults even from a banana republic like Communist Russia.

Russia and China are both increasing their military spending like crazy they are coming up with new weapons even when they weren’t supposed to but hey yeah let’s cut our military spending lol insane they probably want us to spend that money on the green new deal right ? 🤡

brannonj17 Russia would love it if the USA cut back on its defence spending !

So Putin has invaded Ukraine taken over the Crimea, is helpjng Assad in Syria with Air power and troops, helping Maduros in Venezuela, Helping North Korea, Hacking & Undermining Democratic governments all over the world. Nothing to see here

That's important, because I care deeply about what the Russian defense Chief has to say.

Look who's talking!!!🤡🤣

Really? Name one war the Americans have won on their own in their history aside from their Revolution. I'll wait.

Of course and Russia would like the US to completely eliminate it's military budget. Expect nothing less from FakeNews Trump - hating Newsweek...

Russia could cut millitary spending buy not attacking outher nations.

true

True... True. This, and Russia makes trade deal with China. Owned twice by Russia in one week.

Oh crap, here we go, Russia telling America about our defense posture.

All of this when Russia and China just conducted a joint military exercise. The pieces of WW3 are slowly falling into place.

Sometimes I wonder what news Newsweek really gives. Its been 16.5 years since the Iraq Invasion. Since then & bcause of that move whenever theres a war/crisis like in Syria where Russia is bombing civilians now at least a million children affected the US has paused done nothing

SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM

Wow, who would’ve thunk it?

Hilarious as always

Shade thrown

True!!

Is that so? Crimea
