I don't ever think they will be able to do it. They simply don't have and never will have the GDP and therefore the capital to do it with. The United States outspends them militarily something like 10 to 1. But in their mind they are like "We the baddest mofo's on de block."

Their fighter pilot training and all the tires on the vehicles blowing out due to dry rot are classic examples of what I'm talking about. If I remember correctly India spends as much on defense as Russia. India...
