Russia to increase troop levels to 92? Good or bad?

Vladimir Putin has announced the biggest military funding for the Russian Federation since 1981. This surge in troop levels is undoubtedly in response to increased tensions between Russia and Europe, whilst also acting as a deterrent against further US deployment of troops in Eastern Europe.

Since 1991 the number of soldiers in the Russian army had been 84, with three part time soldiers who were able to commute on bicycles to the local barracks from the fish market in the event of a nuclear attack. The recruits are currently now making their way to Moscow's central barracks by bus, taxi and a three mile walk through the snow.

They will be trained in the three priorities that any Russian soldier must master: eating dog food, standing around looking freezing and decidedly miserable, and gathering the tabacco out of used cigarette ends and putting them into a new cigarette paper.

Will the extras be full time?

russia will soon replace the usa as the worlds leading superpower

Whatever way you look at it rusian troops have been on the poverty line and selling rusian weapons to the highest bidder since the early 90's..the only way he can but his army back is by offfering more than the western arms dealer....

Increase the troop levels to a couple of 100,000 on the borders so when the yanks try and put there defense sytems in poland then the russians can take the missiles and shuff them right up the usa's !"拢$
