What's Next for the Russian Military?

How concerned should the rest of the world be about Russia's weakened military? Can Russia ever aspire to be a superpower like the old USSR with the military in its current state?

Affordable Virtual Beowulf Cluster Every nerd drools over Beowulf clusters, but very few have even seen one, much less own one. Until now, that is. Eric Gylgen, the open source hacker famous for EviL (the dancing ASCII paperclip add-on to vi), is working on a program that will emulate Beowulf clusters on a standard desktop PC. "Of course," he added candidly, "the performance of my virtual cluster will be many orders of magnitude less than a real cluster, but that's not really the point. I just want to be able to brag that I run a 256 node cluster. Nobody has to know I only spent $500 on the hardware it uses." Eric has prior experience in this field. Last month he successfully built a real 32 node Beowulf cluster out of Palm Pilots, old TI-8x graphing calculators, various digital cameras, and even some TRS-80s. He demonstrated a pre-alpha version of his VirtualEpicPoem software to us yesterday. His Athlon machine emulated a 256 node Beowulf cluster in which each node, running Linux, was emulating its own 16 node cluster in which each node, running Bochs, was emulating VMWare to emulate Linux running old Amiga software. The system was extremely slow, but it worked. soma online order soma online What excuses stand in your way? How can you eliminate them? -- Roger von Oech soma buy somaWorld Domination, One CPU Cycle At A Time Forget about searching for alien signals or prime numbers. The real distributed computing application is "Domination@World", a program to advocate Linux and Apache to every website in the world that uses Windows and IIS. The goal of the project is to probe every IP number to determine what kind of platform each Net-connected machine is running. "That's a tall order... we need lots of computers running our Domination@World clients to help probe every nook and cranny of the Net," explained Mr. Zell Litt, the project head. After the probing is complete, the second phase calls for the data to be cross-referenced with the InterNIC whois database. "This way we'll have the names, addresses, and phone numbers for every Windows-using system administrator on the planet," Zell gloated. "That's when the fun begins." The "fun" part involves LART (Linux Advocacy & Re-education Training), a plan for extreme advocacy. As part of LART, each Linux User Group will receive a list of the Windows-using weenies in their region. The LUG will then be able to employ various advocacy techniques, ranging from a soft-sell approach (sending the target a free Linux CD in the mail) all the way to "LARTcon 5" (cracking into their system and forcibly installing Linux).

Internet Censorship, a popular topic for the past two years, was supplanted by Biology of Penguins as another of this year's most popular subjects for research papers. "The Internet has changed all the rules," one college professor told Humorix. "Nobody wants to write papers about traditional topics like the death penalty, freedom of speech, abortion, juvenile crime, etc. Most of the research papers I've seen the past year have been computer related, and most of the reference material has come from the Net. This isn't necessarily good; there's a lot of crap on the Net. One student tried to use 'Bob's Totally Wicked Anti-Microsoft Homepage of Doom' and 'The Support Group for People Used by Microsoft' as primary sources of information for his paper about Microsoft." A high school English teacher added, "Plagarism is a problem with the Net. One of my students 'wrote' a brilliant piece about the free software revolution. Upon further inspection, however, almost everything was stolen from Eric S. Raymond's website. I asked the student, "What does noosphere mean?" He responded, 'New-what?' Needless to say, he failed the class."

I think the Russian Military will become as powerful as the US military sometime during the next 15 years. Russia is recovering from a depression and a complete turn-around of the economy. But, they are making progress and will soon be a stronget nation.

This is very good because having US be the only superpower is not good because they can do anything to the world and still no one will dare do shit to them (classic example: Iraq). You need at least 2 superpowers to keep peace.

To those faggots who think that the Russian army is evil....stict the facts that are:
~ US is the only country to have ever used a Nuke on another country.
~ US only joined WW2 when it was obvios that USSR and Great Britain were goint to win. I bet that if Hitler had taken Stalingrad, US would have joine the Nazis. Now the fucking bastards take all the credit for the war that UK and the USSR won.
~ Why does the US spend 6x more thatn any other country on its military? Do you really thin that the US needs a military like that?
~ US had even awarded themselves the victory in the space race by landing a man on the moon. The Soviet Union wasnt interested in the moon! If they wanted to, they could have started a colony there. The Soviet Union had won the space race by:
~Sending the first object into space
~Sending the first living organism into space
~Sending the first man into space
~Condicting the first space walk
~Constructing the largest space station ever constructed by a single country. (Mir)

Some people say that the ISS is US-led. Then how come Russia provides the supplied to the station, 2/3 of all astronauts were Russian and 3/4 of all the modules have Russian names and were made by Russia?

The bottom line? US is a bunch of freaks who have one of the world's least democratic systems and call it DEMOCRACY who take credit for everything ever achieves by the Siviet Union and Russia and spend massive cash on thier military. The sooner Russia Matches thier military the better!

The most favorable effect on the military-industrial complex could be had from proper funding of the state defense order. According to the commentary by the Russian Deputy Defense Minister for armaments, published in Rossiiskaya Gazeta, the 2001 state defense order was fully funded. A State Armaments Program was approved, complete with resources and funding, allowing defense projects to embark on a long-term planning for their operations. Another good impact could come from the repayment of the debt that government owed to the military-industrial complex over the past years. Note that under RF Government Resolution No 1020 of 29.12.2000, full repayment of the outstanding debt should be completed by 1 January 2003. The repayment is currently on time. Those positive changes bode well for the defense economy.

The Chinese-Russian alliance is a reality the United States governments seems to overlook and underestimate.
he hoped-for death knell of anti-Western authoritarianism that began with the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 seems to have ended with the formation of a Chinese-Russian military alliance in December 1999.
The new alliance includes Belarus and Kazakhstan. Belarus joined this Eurasian bloc when it signed the Union Treaty with Russia on December 8, 1999, a few hours before then-Russian President Boris Yeltsin left for China. Belarussian President Aleksander Lukashenko had proposed establishing a Minsk-Moscow-Beijing strategic axis as early as January 1997, according to the China

As they pursue their self-perceived manifest destiny, the Soviets are convinced that time is on their side, so they feel no immediate compulsion to supplant the United States as the world's foremost political, economic, and military power. When it is in their best interest, the Russians can indeed be patient.

The Soviets did a strategic political and military withdrawal in the cold war with the U.S. {The communist slogan two steps forward and one step back. } Now are advancing again another two steps forward. The latest back stepping was to avoid a war directly with The U.S. so as to minimize cost and casualty in a war with the West. If the demise of the Soviets was not orchestrated there would have been a collapse grater than that what was observed. The collapse of the Soviets would have been as a giant red star collapsing in to its self; would have gone with a great (grate) struggle and upheaval in to a black hole. {The only places were there was war lordship developed was in Chechnya and that was helped by the C.I.A. using militant Moslems that hate the U.S. more than that of the Soviets.}

Glasnost and Perestroika as any remodeling is a mess and there is a struggle but it is managed and controlled. The progress of two steppes forwarded if interfered with will lead to WW3 with the powers that be.

The Berlin wall came down not as a trophy to the West wining the cold war but a Trojan horse for the communist to enter the West and operate more effectively . The Western power knows this and is accommodating the process as to destroy the communist with out having to go to a ww3 scenario nuclear war or what ever . So it is now a cold invisible war with a loud war on terror as camouflage.

I think the Russian Federation lost its touch. It's military is very poor. Yes at one point in history it's military was better than US's but after their humiliating defeat in Chechnia it shows that Russia is crumbling. Now the only super powers I see is The U.S. and the "Muslims". The cold war is over. I See the cold war as a test for the U.S. which it has passed. Now it's time to fight the hot war because all this time the US and Russia ruled over the muslims from the invasion of Afghanistan to the suport of da brutal autocratic ruler, Shah Pahlavi of iran. well now the muslims wants revenge and its coming after thesuper powers. The Soviets were defeated by the Muslims in Afghanistan. Now the real question is will the U.S. servive a war gainst the muslims?

I think Russia should adapt 25% or more of its military to adopting a strategy towrds protecting Russian from radical muslim extremists setting up bases in neighbouring regions like the Panski gorge in Georgia and attacking Russia.
Also increase the effort of intelligence gathering.

We should be verry concerned about the Russian army. Not now, but if they are in a war... we should. 'cause if they don't fight with guns, they do it with people. If you look at how they fought in WWII. than you can say: Times have changed. I don't know much for a kid of 15 years old, but I know that if they want, they can be the superpower like the old USSR was.

Russian forces is underestimated!
Never forget what a superpower Russia still is...
Even an invasion from USA had been stopped by the Russians strong defenses...course it is weaker that it was in the Soviet time,but Russia is still a superpower...
The bear is sleeping...For Gods sake DONT WAKE IT UP!
