Go read your history book and stop brandishing ignorance like its some virture.
Thank goodness Russia won't allow misleading cheers of terrorist Muslim nations and your likes to push to challenge US to war.


Russia have technology yes....but Russia cannot afford to prosecute a full blown war with US, their citizens will die of hunger and surrender in 6 weeks!


Russia have nukes, yes but have you seen a situation where two people wants to fight, one tries to pull out a dagger to stab the other and he wasn't even allowed to pull out his dagger to talk of stabbing the other person That is what US will do to Russia, Russia will be struggling to detonate their nukes and the war will be over with it lol grin grin


Russia have not fought and won any war solely on their own, but US has been fighting and winning wars since 1920s till date, so experience matters...they have full military base that can challenge any nation in almost all part of the world....they have allies, they have global economy in their palms and they control global currency and politics, so who is Russia to challenge US in a one on one war

Don't get me wrong, I love Russia because they are good technologically....but don't compare them with US in a conventional warfare.

My only problem with Russia is their support for terrorist sponsoring nations in the Middle-East, they need to watch it angry angry

Russia is broke, struggling economically and any direct confrontation with the great US of A will finally bury the struggling Russian economy and send them back to Yugoslavia and Serbia, Putin must understand this and not allow the small crude oil money he is stealing from mischievous Arab countries to deceive him into thinking that Russia is now the global superpower when Germany almost sent them to oblivion when they were a bigger USSR if not for the intervention of US!!!

You know nothing about WWII and don't come on nere and spew nonsense. Stalin's Soviet defeated Hitler's Nazis & Germany. Hitler committed suicide when the Red's Army (U.S.S.R) broke his final line of defense. U.S cheated their way into the way by mischievously inviting Japan to attack Pearl Harbor so they can have a excuse of entering the war to showcase their new one and only Hydrogen bomb to the world as they were the first and only one with it then... This started the cold war btw U.S and U.S.S.R.

Please, don't come on here to misguide the already ignorant 9ja fools.
Go here kiddo, your fellow Nairalander shared the gory images of how Germans roasted Russians before US allied forces arrived and saved their asses, go to this thread kiddo>>>https://www.nairaland.com/5620424/pictures-world-war-ii-holocaust#85618310


I don't want to start quoting long articles from outside Nairaland.

Go and read history, USA ended World War II not Russia! Which was why US Became the world power.

Have you watched any documentary on the invasion of Stalingrad by German Nazi soldiers Russians were decimated.

US divided USSR into:
Armenia.
Moldova.
Estonia.
Latvia.
Lithuania.
Georgia.
Azerbaijan.
Tajikistan.

Who born Russia to challenge US



Germans suffered loss in Russia due to cold weather and miscalculation which made their guns to stop firing and their car radiators froze and they couldn't advance while Russians who were well prepared because its their terrain had advantage over them, and while this was happening, US allied forces with Royal marines and other allied nations were bombarding German defense from all angles.

You really don't know who you want to argue with sha, it is well.


Russia is strong, but they cannot challenge US at all...they don't have the economy and population and allies to do so, take it from me, stop arguing like kids who think war is by who manufactured bomb and guns!


Go and read about Operation Barbarossa (also known as Unternehmen in Germany), then you will understand better.

For your mind you are making sense abi? You think everybody is a dullard like you ba? America tricked Japan to attack their biggest Naval base and kill their personnel... Make i no call you fool.

Of course, ignorant fools like you would come here and rant without knowing sh!t. Go and read " Howard Zinn's - People's history of the United States". The same way you're made to believe the Native Indians were savages and that God gave them (the Europeans) their land from coast to coast. Rubbish!

U.S needed to get into the war and the ONLY way is to find an excuse to get into it. 3 days prior to Japanese assault on Pearl Harbor, the U.S already broke the Japanese communication code and realize Japan was planning to surrender. Since the Soviet already defeated Hitler, the U.S weren't ready for a cheap surrender. They needed to flex to the Soviets and rest of the world of their newly found weapon of mass destruction... that a new Sherriff is in town indeed.

They needed to unleash the mother of all bombs... the hydrogen bomb which several scientist (including Einstein) greatly warned against. Truman ignored their warnings and went ahead with it. Of course, they got their wish. The Soviets and the world were shell-shocked and amazed at the same time. Three years after, the Soviet got theirs. and also beat the U.S to the space race. That's the beginning of the cold war.

When Russia was a great, united, rich USSR, they couldn't face small Germany.....some years back, ordinary, small Ukraine challenged them and held them to ransom, talk of USA....maybe you don't know why US is the world superpower.


USA have strong army formation and base all over the world running 247....Russia can't even challenge their bases in the Asia alone.


Yes Russia have some technology and military might, but USA have everything you can think of; money, population, wisdom, politics, economy, allies, and what have you, what does Russia have except supporting rogues and terrorist nations all because of crude oil that they also have


Russia know they cannot challenge France or Germany to talk of US angry angry

They all can't challenge one another because they knew what is at stake. Countries like Russia, China, Germany, UK, France don't need to have what USA have before they can stand up to USA. You should know that.

What's your definition of an "attack". Russia were just like "who be these small boys make una clear road for us abeg". They kept moving closer still the US no clear road. They sent some warning shots into the air and honked yet the Russians weren't moved. After some minute, they decided to free them and everyone went his separate ways . One went east, the other north.

Next time write Copied underneath.

Plus your source is inaccurate.
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor because American had imposed several sanctions on Japan. So they used the war period as an avenue to see if they can scatter all those sanctions because they know the attack will definitely drag the US to the Ww2, unfortunately for them, that attack necessited the end of that war as the US set in

Dannybammz:
(CNN)A Russian warship "aggressively approached" a US Navy destroyer while it was operating in the North Arabian Sea Thursday, ignoring warnings from the US vessel and increasing the risk of a collision, the US Navy said Friday.

The incident is the latest example of a close encounter between US and Russian military forces that US officials have described as unsafe and provocative and comes roughly seven months after another incident in the Pacific in June when US and Russian warships came so close the US ship had to perform an emergency maneuver to avoid a collision.

"On Thursday, Jan. 9, while conducting routine operations in the North Arabian Sea, USS Farragut was aggressively approached by a Russian Navy ship," the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, which oversees naval operations in the Middle East, said in a statement.

A US Navy official says that the Farragut is part of the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier group and the Farragut is tasked with intercepting potential enemy ships to prevent them from approaching the aircraft carrier.

Two defense officials said the Russian vessel got as close as 180 feet from the US ship and that there was bridge to bridge communication between the two warships.

The incident is the latest example of a close encounter between US and Russian military forces that US officials have described as unsafe and provocative and comes roughly seven months after another incident in the Pacific in June when US and Russian warships came so close the US ship had to perform an emergency maneuver to avoid a collision.

This story is breaking and will be updated with additional developments.

Russia is under US sanction that's damaged their economy and US and Isreal are bypassing them to carry out air strike in Syria.


Forget it, this is all Russian can do. The US military is built to fight 2 major wars simultenuosly and not loss.
Russia is just grandstanding because they know the US will always act with restraint.
Isn't Russia under US sanction?
Russia has over 6000 live nuclear warheads... The US has about the same arsenal too...

Both countries know too well not to engage each other in anything other than mere shouting matches. They both know that if shiit gets real and those demons released, God may have to start creation afresh.
