Videos: Putin orders massive snap Russian 'combat readiness check'

Must be ready to ship troops to the east side of the country to keep an eye on China

For some reason I do not view 150,000 troops as "massive" and I would guess that represents the bulk of an armed force that Russia can rely on....which is kind of sad. Now looking at the equipment, I am not very impressed either. Russia no longer faces just the Ukraine, I believe both Poland and the Baltic States have some support agreements in place if not full blown armed support if Ukraine is attacked. If thats the case the Russians will need a LOT more than 150,000 troops and they can't really rely on Belarus to help them either as Belarus is growing tired of Russia as well.
