russia's military needs realistic strategic ambitions

instead of russia's military focusing on to trying to keep parity of strength compared to usa's military, 

it would be more logical if russia's military focused on being stronger than russia's neighbours and being strong enough to prevent rebellion inside russia 

if usa would have benefitted from russia splitting into different countries, then russia would probably have split into different countries long ago and most likely after soviet union collapsed 

russia and usa can still disagree in media and so on, that's part of the game, but russia's military need to focus om what it can realistically achieve and not further waste opportunities
