What does this have to do with anything? Besides Putin keeping company with Berlusconi(Italy's illuminati hitman)?

How so besides karate chopping? Russia and China will never invade the U.S., not in your wildest wet dreams. The U.S. spends more militarily than all other nations combined, including China and Russia. Half of every tax dollar goes to the military.
