Tkester: Thanks alot, brother. But like i said before, we can do nothing but for the Truth. However, we must return all the glory and praise to God who keepeth and watches over our souls; and when thou sayest "thank God," it implies you have acknowledged His omnipotent supremacy and praise worthiness. Therefore, you shall in no wise lose your reward. Just keep the fire burning! Now, pertaining to your question as to why i detest the US Empire as it relate to my line of argument on this thread and in similar ones, like you rightly mentioned, is due to a number of reasons, for which the answers are not far fetched. Also, from the outstanding responses-in-posts by some undeluded Souiljas of Truth and Realism, ditto this topic, is prima facie evidence that i am not ALONE on this line of thought. We must understand that many people hate the US for alot of reasons, but the most valid and prevalent form of anti American feelings is based on intellectualized reasons. Intellectual hatred is based on principles, morals, and historical hatred based on past and present conflicts and actions of the USA. And the answers are deeply rooted in America's military interferance the world over. Every military conflict and strike causes innocent people to resent the attackers, even when the attacks appear necessary from one point of view, of course it does feel like that to the average person on the street. I could therefore list every conflict that America has been involved in, supplied weapons to one side, both, or more, made a profit from or secured oil from. But such a list would basically involve listing nearly every conflict across the world. The answer lies in America’s global history of intervention and interference. People such as Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gaddafi were undoubtedly responsible for some atrocious acts, and many believe that regime change was rightly forced upon those countries. However, the US government's history of foreign interference goes well beyond this century, and well beyond controversial characters. In fact, America has toppled many publicly-supported democratic governments around the world, and this has traditionally been instigated through the exploits of the CIA. After WW2 the CIA committed acts of assassination and torture, and replaced democracies with dictatorships in countries all over the world for more than 30 years. The justification was often that the Soviets had influence over the country, but in many cases there was little or no evidence to back up this claim. Regardless, it is little comfort to the millions who died, or the millions who lived without the freedom that America treasures so much within its own borders. Countries that suffered at the hands of the US government include Afghanistan, Angola, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, Congo, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Laos, Nicaragua, Panama, Uruguay and Vietnam; and these are only the countries for which substantial public information is available. Unconstrained by any superpower rival or system of global governance, the US giant has rewritten the global financial and trading system in its own interest; ripped up a string of treaties it finds inconvenient; sent troops to every corner of the globe; bombed Afghanistan, Sudan, Yugoslavia and Iraq; maintained a string of murderous embargos against recalcitrant regimes. America, as a self-identified military big brother, has been harassing much of the developing world for multiple decades. Strongly anti-communist sentiments have seen a departure from democracy in American foreign politics and an embrace of political fascism... if you are not democratic, or trying to be so, historically the chances are the American government has been funding attempts to take your government out! Some years ago, in response to embassy bombings, America attacked a pharmaceutical factory in one of the poorest countries in the world. The Clinton administration said that the Sudanese factory was linked to Osama bin Laden and involved in the production of chemical weapons. In the following months, that justification fell apart. With tragic results. While there were few injuries from the bombing itself, the people of Sudan have suffered enormously as a result of losing this crucial source of medicine. Today, the US still brings destruction and pains on some parts of the globe. Where there is war and crisis, you are sure to find Uncle Sam, not just as an umpire, but as the Pepetrator. Democratic US died following the assassination of John F kennedy, and what will have today is a US whose political and economic life has been highjacked by the same occultic cabals that cruxified Kennedy (for refusing to be controlled,) and by means of an increasingly authoritative Washington, fuelled by an "unsuspecting" constitutional provisions, a two party system, and the use of electoral colleges ,etc; have enabled such political and economic Elites to facilitate and consolidated on their lofty positions and grip on the White house, by determining whoever is to emerge as the "anointed one," who is nothing but a puppet in the hands of the Illuminatis, the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and all the greedy little redneck bunch of Anglo neo Z capitalists thieving Sons of Cain! And by virtue of their coporate greed, they have redefined the concept of democracy, as it relate to their multinational coporations (MNCs), to mean; "the government of the MNCs, for the MNCs, and by the MNCs." And presently, this is the focal point or centre piece of American Foreign Policy. And The results are overwhelming: with the bombardment and rape of nations, as these hordes of hell cum Multinationals strive for the wealth in Oil, Gas, Gold, Diamonds Uranium, etc; wherever it can be gotten. Just follow the Oil and peep through the curtains of the conflicts and conspiracies, and you shall find Uncle Sam. But be sure that thou arth well hiding in the shadows, if not as powerful as Putin, otherwise you may not live to tell the story. For out of thrumped-up pretext, false flag operations, colour revolutions and lies, the United State of Anarchy has brought untold anguish and devastation upon many hapless nations of the world, whose only fault is to have been blessed by God with aboundance of natural/mineral resources. The lies told by the US-led Anglo terrorist Empire are unrivaled as such that, even Satan is considering applying for tutorial. We now know that Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction. But it has to bleed for its Oil. And is still bleeding till date. Liby was invaded following the "coloured revolution" in the wake of the arab spring (another mission of the CIA) for the same purpose, and to liquidate Gaddafi for trying to stand up against the petrol Dollar. And today, Libya that use to be Africa's best economy is in shambles. Syria is bleeding profusely from Assad's refusal to play the pipeline politics of the US/Saudi/and Isreali gangsters. Russia's Putin who stood against this current US dictated world order, have to be demonized, santioned, and antagonized by moving Ukraine out of its orbit. Thus, the ongoing carnage in that country right now, being formented as a proxy war against Russia. Such is the unbriddled evil nature of the US led Anglo Empire of chaos. And with its armies of Death such as ISIS and Al Qaida, coupled with its war machine and crony bloc called NATO, the Eyes of Mother Earth continue to be blinded by the oceanic blood of innocent women, children, the aged and the disables, butchered and spilled. Even dogs, chickens and goats have no place of refuge as the US governed by Satan unleashed terror on the residue thereof. Such is the brand of "demo-craZy" been exported by the hegemonic United States of Atrocities. The pains currently been experienced by the Earth right now, do reminds me of Micheal Jackson's Earth Song. The most hypocritical nation in the world. They go about preaching peace, equality, and respect for fundamental human rights. But in reality,they can't even guarantee this at home-with a police force that specialised in racial profiling and systematic murdering of blacks and latinos broad day light. God created them as Adam and Eve, but the US want all of us to marry them as Adam and Steve! Is this the kind of democracy you want in your country? Certainly, i don't think so! The last straw that broke the carmel's back as it relate to whatever little reservation i may have had towards the States, was when it decided to frustrate my FatherLand, Nigeria in whatever ways. First it was with the Ebola trial vaccine, and then the refusal to offer help or sales of weaponry to Nigeria, and blocking all the moves we made to acquire from other sources like Isreal, in the struggle against Bolo Haram. If not for Russia, i wonder where we would have been by now. Brother, i can go on and on, but i just don't have the strenght to so do. However, In the light of the little exposition above, one can rightly conclude that the Hatred and dislike felt by many towards the US government, as it relates to it's foreign policy, is valid and justifiable. And as such, you may wana draw your own conclusions. But for the sake of fairness, do bear in mind that, in time past, it has also affected the world in some positive areas, like in innovations, vaccines etc. Though it now seem that all such positiveness has been dwarfed by its horror show globally. Take that as a pint of salt! Now, relating to where i came from: hm! I do pride myself as one who metamorphosed by means of a time matrix secret machine, and originated from a tunnel in the Rustov region of Kalinegrad, adjacent to Vladisvostok, in the very hearts of the Black holes craters created by aliens in the Siberian artics; from wherein i, and the likes of the unrelentless Nairaminted, the indispensible Cyprus000, the incomperable Sirshymexx, the buldozer Truckpusher, and the resurrected Underground, were forged and been guided through the seas of geopolitics, by the spirit of the Vladinator's game know-how.

Appleyard:Bro, my bitterness is something that words can't describe .Why would a political leader in black Africa go to the West to set up businesses with stolen funds and buy choice properties even when they are aware that these same awkward and skewed mentality would be used as a tool for blackmail and gag them to push for and expand their stranglehold on the black continent but again even we the citizens are busy bickering over tribal superiority that we fail to understand that a divided people is a willing tool in the hands of these imperialist. There is need for our people to be educated on the need for a united black race that would be economically virile and militarily strong but again we have zombies for leaders whose head is still stuck in the ass of their slave master. With all these said I still believe in this country - We can't wait to take over from these zombies in human clothing. Thank you Appleyard, your in-depth analysis and that of other gurus like sirshymexx and co is pushing me to take up another degree on international diplomacy - We can't move forward until we educate ourselves . Once again thank you and I have so much respect for you and also hoping to meet you someday. 4 Likes |

Truckpusher: Oh, dear Soulja, be it known to thee that thou arth not alone in this moment of your patriotic grief! for constriction twines me like a snake each time i come Upon the wake of Africa's political leaders kleptocracy, with special reservation for those from the Fatherland-Nigeria! How, for Christ sake, a rational human being can steal money he can't use, see, need, reach, or access; is truely beyond whatever my humble understanding intelligence can comprehend. For instance, the US government froze about $483.00 million stolen by former Nigerian dictator – Sanni Abacha, in largest kleptocracy forfeiture action ever brought in the US. If you wish to know; the $483.00 million dollars, is in addition to the £500- $700 million dollars previously recovered from the same culprit by the Nigeria government. These were monies he never used, saw, reached, and as we now know- accessed. I weep for my country! The stealing by government officials in Nigeria is endemic, and extreme in so much that it is pathetically becoming an acceptable norm in everyday life. This genetically mind and brain defective thieving autocrats have turned every treasury in Nigeria into a crime scene. No funds are spared- no matter how consolidated. They spare no assets or public accounts because they are morally depraved and ethically bankrupt. They steal so much that no matter how lavish their life styles within the country become, they can only use a fraction of their loot in their life time. Most of these loots are hidden in foreign bank accounts in tax heavens, like Switzerland. This is so, because their stealing spree creates huge holes in the development process at home; hence HOME is unstable and unsafe to keep stolen funds. Home may explode at any minute. Nevertheless, at the commencement of the inevitable trouble at home; the foreign hosts of their looted funds also commence their black mail. “Sorry you can't reach the funds until we clarify certain issues”, "this is laundared money" etc. The foreign host tax heavens then ensure that the funds are seized, forfeited and fire-proofed with dubious financial policies. The looter starts to think, soliloquize, blood pressure increases, he gets ill and then dies. The one lucky enough to escape death is embraced by the white man's prison doors, or suddenly becomes bankrupt, or may have to be on the run for the rest of his miserable life. While this is going on, the primary schools are in shambles, there is no primary health care, the Universities are living on old glory, our roads are competing with malaria for 'which kill most', so called pure water says " i am the senior", and there is no pipe borne water to dispute it. The health systems remain so rotten that it has virtually become a place where people now go to die; while almost all the Kleptocrats pride themselves in accessing health facilities abroad. Such is the Finality of the zombie nature of most of Africa's political criminaloids cum leaders, in their "unblemished' tracked record in continuation of African slavery, even when official slavery has ceased decades ago. And The ultimate loser is the ordinary African/Nigerian in the street. Pathetic! And as if this is not traumatic enough, we the ordinary citizens are seen adding fuel to an already burning fire. Nothing is more provoking, devastating and abhoring to hear or see written text from myopic and unpatriotic people advocating the break up of their own country, as if that would bring an ultimate end to their sufferings. These bunch of uninformed, whining pigmies, without natural affection, suffering from a psychophantic syndrom of tribal superiority hallucination, see the East as the problem, the West sees the North as the problem, and so we must break; blah blah blah. But their moronic views resulting from a staccato signals of constant tribal sentimentalism, fully activated in their obnoxious ignoramus, won't let them see that the real problem is a FAILURE IN LEADERSHIP! Neither can they see that they make up a substantial causal factor for such failure. Our inability to see that Nigeria is the hope of the black race, and there is every need to consolidate on our unity, especially in the face of the current gang up by foreign elements in lieu with some dysfuctional locals to destroy the entity called Nigeria; may never enable us to get it right: even as we continue in squabbles and squirmishes-a baseless struggle for tribal supremacy. You only need to see what is going on in the Politics section on Nairaland, it has become so bad that i now find it hard to post any thread or reply over there. The infighting and tribalistic views instead of patriotic nationalism, is so much intense that, it has a way of bringing out the dark side of you. Very pathetic. It is only God that will help us! There is need for our people to be educated on the need for a united black race that would be economically virile and militarily strong but again we have zombies for leaders whose head is still stuck in the ass of their slave master. You have said it all! One of the reasons i still keep faith in places like Nairaland, is that no matter the disappointment, provocations, and sheer foolishness you may face in the wilderness of a social forum like this, you can be rest assured that atleast, one or two persons are reading and learning closely from your line of argument and sound doctrines, be it in politics, religion or whatever segment or topical issue. This has been my source of encouragement for long. And come to think of it; everyone must not agree with you. Thus, this has been my motto, and conversely, i have also learned alot, both from my own short comings and from the expertise of others. At the end, it is a win-win situation. Therefor, the need for we Africans to be more educated, especially as it relates to our inward capacity building, developing our potentials, believing in our ownselves, while reviewing all areas of relations with the western world, can not, and should never be over emphasised ,and subsequently not be underrated. Education in all forms of goodwill, intent and purpose, is vital for our survival and continual evolvement as a race seen by the others as inferior. Though we still have a long way to go, we must nonetheless consolidate on the little we are doing here now, in facebook, whatsapp, or wherever we find ourselves. Also not forgeting the conventional class rooms and other means of educating ourselves and the people. But as for our leaders, i have nothing else to say. Time shall be no more! Let he that is a zombie be zombie still, and he that wana be good be good. For we the people are coming, and our reward is in our hands- to de-zombify our councils, towns, cities constituencies, wards, economy, health , security, and the public sector; together with the wrath and fierceness of almighty UNITY. In that day when the Purge shall commence,, the spirit of Justice shall cry forth with joyous anger. And Mercy shall know no peace! For Justice is the firm and Constant will to give everyone his due! Thus, there shall be no place for the Truth to Hide! For there is Time for Everything! On this note, Oh Soulja, strenghten thou your weak hands, Confirm your feeble knees, and let your grieving heart be at peace. For the time of our deliverance is at hand. I can smell it accross the hemisphere. Keep up the good work, Soulja. I have never cease to bask in the euphoria of having the grace in anchoring along a Soulja like thee. And with all sincerity of mind, am also looking forward to seeing you someday, if Christ tarry! Till then, i remain Appleyard of Vladisvostock, in the Siberian region of Delta State. And thanks for the compliment. OVER, Soulja! 1 Like |

Tkester: Of course, brother. Planes fallen from the sky is nothing new to Russia, and even the USA. There are some factors responsible for the current spate of Russian plane crashes. These are: 1) The overuse of old aircrafts-- Following the colour revolution that took place in Ukraine as sponsored by the west to move that country from Russian orbit of influence, Russia responded by taking Crimea. The European Union and the US introduced sanctions, followed by counter sanctions from Russia--and then the upthick and sabre rattling by both sides of the fence, led to increase military show of strenght in terms of exercises in air, land and sea. Since last year, from 2010, the pace of Russian air patrol and flying sorties increased dramatically, with NjATO claiming it intercepted over 400 Russian aircraft near its airspace in 2014 following the start of the Ukraine Crisis, a 50 percent increase over the previous years and a rate that goes back to the antagonistic posturing of the Cold War. Some of these Russian planes are old and there is always a backlash when they are put up for more and more flying sorties in military excercises and patrols, which is exactly what is happening now. This also has some similarities to the situation faced by the US Air Force, where service leaders have explicitly said they need to recapitalize aging fleets. But the situation in Russia, where sustainment and upkeep have not been strong suits, is worse. Historically the amount they expand on maintenance has been substandard when compared with Western approaches. Something they are still working on to over come. 2) Another identified issue maybe the lack of qualified pilots to fly the kinds of missions the Defense Ministry is asking of the Air Force as Moscow raises its military deterent in the face of NATO provocations. There are less pilots [in Russia] than there are aircraft, and they gave young pilots missions that are supposed to be given to experienced pilots. These young pilots are lacking in basic skills such as midair refueling. And the Russians have not hesitated to ground whole fleets while they attempt to find the sources of the problems. However, it must also be corrected that the recent plane crashes are not up to 12, not to talk of being over 12. And the su-34 (not su-35) advance bomber that crashed close to the Ukrainian border, was as a result of a technical hitch when the Fullback went off the runway after its brake parachute failed. This can happen to any plane, whether new or old. Not withstanding, Russian air force is to recieve up to 200 aircrafts before 2015 runs out. |

| Re: US Alarmed By Russia's Satellite Maneuverability! by Appleyard(m): 11:44pm On Aug 09, 2015 |
castrogee: Hi Castrogee! Where have you been? On your question; i think it has much to do with understanding the strategic posturing and view points of the two sides of the coin, in relation to the form and level of capabilities available to and deployed by any of the sides concerned, in line with such strategic stance. For instance, the United States military strategy is said to have been developed on the bases of so-called Regional Strategy. But this is not true, considering the conduct of the US, its military adventurism and political interferance the world over, goes well beyond its immediate Latin American sphere of influence, or European scale of preference. It is a GLOBAL military Strategy that has as its hallmarks a commitment to realising such global dominion, by way of continuing alliances, maintenance of a 'forward presence' with over 600 military bases world wide, entails focus more on global conflicts and tendencies than the acclaimed regional one. Thus, the numbers of fleet carriers and such other large and gigantic equipments designed to achieve that aim. On the other hand, Russia's strategic posturing in the wake of the Soviet Union collapse, has been based on self sustainment within the confines of the formal Soviet space, as it relates to its security and national well being. On the economic front, it entails realising its stated goals and objectives through a more balance and uninterrupted multi-polar world, by way of bilateral and diplomatic relations. There was no immediate or long term security needs that warrants any upticks in military or weapon proliferation. This was probably the thinking of the Russkies. As they believed that all was well around its borders and within the canopy of the formal Soviet-so overwhemingly relied on its Nuclear umbrella to wade off any potential threats, while neglecting its conventional capabilities in pursuit of Economic success. But they were wrong! The back-breaking series of domestic and foreign calamitious factors that slammed through the back door unannounced, violently poked the Bear out of its self induced illusion based on mutual understanding of a West being governed By Satanists and greedy bastard banking elites. The Chechyena war was a pointer to look inward and reaccess its military status. The Georgian war was the eye opener to that effect, and the Ukrainian coup and MH17 False Flag operation, was the Last punch that fully gave a foolish Bear the sense to see things the way they are, not as they ought to be. The fact that Russia's secret service could not even see the Ukrainian plot coming, was a testimony to the very policy that was dictating its military and strategic posturing. Nevertheless, it has been forced to re-orient its strategic posture-both in military and economic terms. The Ukraine crisis—and the broader Russia-West tensions tat it has stoked—obscures the fact that Moscow is quietly but rapidly re-orienting its strategic posture. And it is doing so to the east, not the west. Although, Moscow's strategic posture has long stressed the need to look east, by virtue of the Ukraine crisis, it has now begun increasing its Indo-Pacific trade and security footprint, including in Southeast Asia, in order to give its intended policy substance. Hence, the speed at which it is re-emerging as a solid and indispensible military power. Now, having understood this two nations in terms of their stragies, it becomes important to know and understand the various type of cababilities they have designed or in their immediate or potential reach to take care of this strategies, vis the interpretations of the threats facing or given to these strategies as well as the importance attached to them. However, it must be noted that the US and Russia rivals almost in all areas of capability in the conventional sense, let alone in the Nuclear arena. The only real difference is in NUMBERS, in which case the US is way ahead conventionally. But the question is: how leather, how much more formidable, or better in terms of use, effectiveness, quality; in deterent, in deniability, equality, or in outright performance? These questions can only be best answered by considering some few facts. From the onset, given the degree and type of military strategy of the US and the incomperable amount of tax payers money spent in realizing its huge present status, one would have expected the Yankies to be far far away in quality, in performance and in know-how. But a deep study would reveal otherwise. Rather, the ONLY area where the yankees are far ahead of the others, is in NUMERICS! The rest are just hype upon hype and pure propaganda. I will come to this propaganda issue later. Now, you must know that Russian weapons are meant to work – they are workhorses. In 1958, before Western corporate interests and journalism became bedfellows, here's what TIME magazine wrote: “Russian weapons are generally simplerin design and more mobile. For too long the West believed that the Soviets made simple weapons because they were too unsophisticated to make complex ones. Now the West realizes that the simplicity bespeaks a high state of engineering skill.” A classic case is that of the MiG-25 Foxbat mach 3 interceptor. Designed to combat the American Valkyrie bomber that never materialised, it became a major scare word among NATO pilots throughout the 1970s. The chief reason was the Foxbat could fly faster and climb higher – often to the edge of space – than any Western aircraft. It was a mystery in the West until 1976 when a defector flew a MiG-25 to Japan. When the US National Air & Space Intelligence Center dismantled the aircraft they found the on-board avionics were based on vacuum-tube technology rather than solid-state electronics. There was derisive laughter in the Pentagon when they came to know the Russians were using outdated technology in their most advanced aircraft. But the Americans continued to deliberate why the Russians were using vacuum tubes. It took them many years to find out that the person who had designed the Foxbat was as clever as a fox. With the vacuum tubes the MiG-25’s radar had enormous power to burn through –that is, it was invulnerable to – any electronic jamming. And, the Pentagon generals were devastated to know, the vacuum tubes made the aircraft’s systems resistant to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP, about which the Russians knew long before the West did), meaning that in the event of a nuclear war the Foxbat would be the only – yes the only – aircraft flying on the planet. Lets just consider the follwing real incidents that the western main stream media always chose to ignore. Incident 1: COMPARING AIRCRAFTS IN REAL INCIDENTS " The time: 2 pm, December 22, 1971. The place: Jamnagar, a city on the west coast of India. One of the most eagerly awaited dogfights in aviation history is about to take place. The Americans have supplied their ally Pakistan with the most advanced fighter aircraft in their inventory, the F-104 Starfighter, while the Indians have opted for the Russian MiG-21. It will be the first aerial combat between mach 2 (twice the speed of sound) aircraft. Two F-104s of the Pakistan Air Force enter Indian air space for an attack on a forward airbase in the western Indian city of Jamnagar. As the first Pakistani aircraft dives in towards the airfield, a patrolling MiG-21 pilot spots the attacking aircraft and gets after him. Observing the MiG on his tail, the Pakistani F-104 breaks off the attack, turns and tries to shake off its pursuer. However, the Indian pilot pulls the MiG-21 into a tighter turn well inside the enemy plane and launches an air-to-air missile. It misses. In the meantime, the pilot of the second Pakistani Starfighter, the wingman, sees another MiG-21 turning towards him. Realising he's up against a much superior aircraft, he makes his escape. His captain, however, is not so lucky. He attempts to get away using sheer speed but realises the MiG-21 is equally fast. The chase now takes them over the shark-infested waters of the Arabian Sea. Instead of using his missiles, the Indian pilot takes aim with his cannon and fires a long burst. Wise decision – flashes on the F-104's metallic surface indicate a direct hit. Seconds later the American- built aircraft spins out of control and crashes into the sea. The Indians send out rescue boats but the pilot is not found. At that speed when you hit the water's surface it's like hitting concrete. The result of that dogfight led aviation experts to pass the verdict: the best Russian interceptor was better than the best American attack aircraft. You won't find mention of such encounters in the Western media for obvious reasons." Incident 2: UNDERWATER CAPABILITY Without breaking international law a Russian nuclear- powered submarine successfully accomplished its training mission near the coast of the United States. The submarine, which is equipped with long-range cruise missiles, shuttled for one month in the Gulf of Mexico without being detected by the U.S. Navy; the Washington Free Beacon reported citing unnamed high-ranked sources in the Pentagon. The American Navy detected the submarine only when it was leaving the waters of the Gulf. Incident 3: Conventional Navy (US better - in numbers) What makes the U.S. Navy stand out the most is its 10 aircraft carriers—more than the rest of the world put together. Not only are there more of them, they’re also much bigger: a single Nimitz -class aircraft carrier can carry twice as many planes (72) as the next largest foreign carrier. Unlike the air wings of other countries, which typically concentrate on fighters, a typical U.S. carrier air wing is a balanced package capable of air superiority, strike, reconnaissance, anti-submarine warfare and humanitarian assistance/disaster relief missions. The U.S. Navy’s 31 amphibious ships make it the largest “gator” fleet in the world, capable of transporting and landing on hostile beaches. The nine amphibious assault ships of the Tarawa and Wasp classes can carry helicopters to ferry troops or act as miniature aircraft carriers, equipped with AV-8B Harrier attack jets and soon F-35B fighter-bombers. Incident 4: Missiles(Russia is way ahead) In the entire history of the human race, there has never been a weapon as destructive as the Russian SS-18 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). To understand the true power of this doomsday weapon, try comparing it to the nuclear warhead the United States used to obliterate Hiroshima. The Hiroshima bomb had an explosive yield of ‘only’ 15 kilo tonnes (KT) or 15,000 tonnes of TNT equivalent, and yet it killed 70,000 people. In comparison, a single SS-18carries up to 10 separate nuclear warheads of around 750 KT each. Some missiles are armed with one humongous 20,000 KT warhead. During the early years of the missile age, the United States led Russia in technology and numbers but by the early 1970s when the SS-18 started entering service in significant numbers, Moscow had closed the missile gap and started pulling ahead inexorably. In 1990 Moscow had a stockpile of around 40,000 nuclear warheads (vs 28,000 for the US) but by just using the 3,000 warheads on its SS-18s it could wipe out all human life in the continental United States in 30 minutes. Codenamed Satan by NATO, the SS-18 weighs a gargantuan 209,000 kg. The highly accurate Russian missile can not only penetrate and destroy American missile silos, which are hardened to 300 psi, but its own silos are hardened to a stupendous 6000 psi , making the missile all but impregnable. Amazingly, for a missile of its weight and length (102 feet) it can sidewind (move in a series of S- shaped curves to evade antimissile defences) and its micro-electronics are hardened to function even under nuclear attack. The Satan’s reported ability to dig up strategic missile complexes became known as America’s “window of vulnerability”. The frightening power of this missile sent shivers down the collective spine of the American leadership, and quickly forced Washington to the negotiating table. The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks of the early 1970s resulted in a drastic slowdown of the hitherto uncontrollable arms race. Russia's Fast And Elusive TOPOL-M Ballistic Missile Is Scary As Hell. Stealth technology Pentagon generals and Western armchair strategists are known to boast about the range of stealth aircraft in the American armoury, against which the Russians have no match apparently. Well, first off, stealth technology is not an American invention. The entire idea, concept and theory of stealth aircraft was fully developed in Russia years before the Americans came to know about it. The reason why Moscow did not go ahead with development of a stealth bomber was simply because it wasn't needed. Russian plans to attack the continental United States involved strategic Tupolev-160 Blackjack bombers coming in over the North Pole and firing nuclear- tipped cruise missiles at American cities from international airspace. On the other hand, Russia's cities are deep inside the territory of its vast Eurasian landmass. But more crucially the Soviet Union, which was obsessed with security because of the Nazi invasion, had deployed no less than 30,000 surface-to-air missiles to defend against invading aircraft and cruise missiles. Nothing less than a stealth aircraft could penetrate these defences. Or could it? During the 78-day NATO bombing of tiny Serbia, the Serbian air defence unit armed with a 1960s vintage Pechora SA-3 surface to air missile shot down a stealth F-117 Nighthawk fighter. Incredibly, as all hell broke loose around them, amidst all the radio chatter, the Serbs were able to pick the pilot who had days earlier bombed a children/s hospital. Bill Sweetman and Bill Gunston are counted among the world's leading weapons experts. More than 25 years ago, they demolished the stereotype about Soviet weapons being technologically backward in comparison with Western ones. According to them, while the Soviet civilian economy was a command one producing average quality consumer goods, the military bureaus had to face real competition from each other, leading to cutting edge weapons that were far ahead of anything the West could come up with. Sweetman and Gunston write, “In the entire history of the human race, there has never been a fighting machine as formidable and terrifying as the air and rocket forces of the Soviet Union.” The bottomline: in a combat situation if the military is well trained and motivated, Russian weapons will most likely carry the day. And you can take that to the bank. But you know, some Zombified ones will always chose to believe in Hollywood! Pathethic! 3 Likes |

^^^ Spot-on analysis, you are a genius!! Appleyard: I'm fine thank you. it looks like we have lost most of our intellectuals in the house - Foreign section these days have been so dry, that even a desert is more fruitful. I do remember the days of shymex, missy, nairaminted etc. However noticing that nothing much happens on the foreign section again has made me not to be visiting the thread again often. Nonetheless, I beg to disagree on the above quote, I think the FSB knew what the Yanks were up to in Ukraine. I think they (Putin) allowed it to happen so that they can legitimize their grab of Crimea. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so swift in the response after the Maiden attack... Also, remember Nulands phone call... 1 Like |

castrogee: I think you are making sense. But don't you think such awareness and the swift reaction is down to much of the infos publicized by CyberBerkut, a Ukrainian hacker group? or are they just a front for the Russians to provide the perfect excuse for them to retake Crimea in a strategic victory? I will leave these questions for the logical minds to answer. On the other hand, the shortage of most of our intellectuals, like you said, is something that is very missing to the ever expanding process of learning in the university of life. But be it known to you that you might have also unintentionally contributed to this predicament, particularly as it relates to Sirshymexx. I remember in a certain thread, you were Urging him not continue posts or spend much of his time down here, because of his vast knowledge of geopolitics; and for the fact that many posters here don't have what it takes to engage in sound geopolitical analysis, rather than insults. Then his reply to your advice was that he would try not to do such again. And ever since that time, i haven't seen him here again. Now, you have to render an apology to men like me, and also to pay a fine--by making available the longest libido to Mugabe in His quest to satisfy Obama's homo sexual urge. You may also wana add two gallons of fuel for our zombie leaders to burn up themselves. see ya! :- |

Appleyard: Mehn, you are too-much (so you still remember), I have actually forgotten that I told Shymex to reconsider his stance on issues. However, What I was trying to say by my statement to shymex, is that he should stop engaging in some vague e-debate. You know if you remember that thread very well you will know that over three pages were filled with (insults) and the likes, no sane person likes this. Here in Nairaland we share a common heritage - in that 90% of us are Nigerians, and to be quite frankly Nairaland has informed me more than any website in the world - honestly I mean it. In that case knowing that Nairaland is a site where we come to learn, I am most allergic to people turning it to insultland. So in principle, I was only suggesting to shymex to just state his stance on issues (as you know that the guy is well loaded and heavily informed), and leave the rest of the forumites to draw up their conclusions rather than engaging in e-fight. 1 Like |

castrogee: I agree with you! The spate of insults, misuse of educative contents and e-fighting, has taken a new dimension lately, and has been so for some time now. As a result of these trend, alot of intellectuals have abandoned ship, leaving behind only a few to fight lthe waves of engagement in analytical discourse. This is in deed, sad! I just wonder where he is at the moment. For i have learnt alot in this forum as well, and its mostly through the likes of shymexx. Nevertheless, we must do the little we can. Life goes on! 2 Likes |
