Lol, another uneducated village square fallacy. cheesy

USSR went into Afghanistan to install a puppet government and the puppet government it installed outlived USSR by years even after it left. And USSR didn’t collapse due Afghanistan - it collapsed due to other internal issues and power struggles.

The US and NATO went into Afghanistan to do the same thing. Spent 20yrs and $3trillion, yet ran away with its tail between its legs and the puppet they installed was overthrown within 24hrs, lol. Now, that’s what utter failure and humiliation looks like, lol. At least they gifted Taliban almost $100billion worth of modern American weapons, lol.

I’m done here. I only engaged you because I was on cross country train and I was bored. I already lost enough IQ - time to take a quick.
The ussr were disgraced and chased out and it lead to d ussr,the usa achieved there aim ,chased taliban out and stayed for 20years but left wen it seems Afghanistans still prefer taliban rule. The ussr lost more soilders in those few years than usa lost in 20years in Afghanistan.
You can’t run along and keep telling ur Russia propaganda lies to ur fellow pro pootin retards but it won’t change d fact that no one fears d midget or kremlin again,
D stupid guy should have not shown his hand while his main enemies like usa are observing,but I don’t expect sense from a midget dictator

And this is how you know Putin fanboys have zero knowledge of foreign affairs.

Britain don sign deal with Finland as security guarantee. It is even doubtful that the Finns need it since their army is well trained, very well armed and they have a staggering amount of artillery.

Russia is barely hanging on in Ukraine. You think they can try to open a second front against Sweden and Finland? �

The ignorance on display here is yours.

Russia's economy is smaller than Italy's (despite russia being 57 times bigger than Italy in land mass).

The Russian economy is 1/8 the size of china's.

Russia is largely has an extractive industry with very limited capacity to produce consumer goods. If China doesnt show mercy on russia, the country will flounder. The west has also started phases out Russian oil and gas from their value chain...this is by far Russias moat significant export and they need a big uptaker to replace the west.

China is Russia's lifeline to survive western sanctions which is why the G7 recently warned China to not undermine russia's sanction (https://www.google.com/amp/s/tass.com/world/1451391/amp). I quoted Tass because some russian bots on NL will quote it as propaganda...but this is russian gov official news outlet.

In any relationship between china ans russia, russia will have to bow to china and trust the chinese to take advantage of it

Russia's economy is d 11th biggest in d world.India is d 5th.Are India citizens living more comfortable Dan Russia's? China has d second biggest economy,is d poverty index in china lower Dan day of Russia's.Nigeria has d biggest economy in Africa,are d citizens living a beta like as dose of south Africa, Egypt, Morocco ND co? Biggest economy sums up d inflow ND outflow of economic activities in a country.pls ponder on dat.And here we are talking Abt military warfare,u swerve to economy.As big as China economy is,is it military as strong as dat of Russia? Italy economy is bigger Dan Russia,is Italy military as big ND stronger as dat of Russia? if u av frnds in America,or ur a bit used to American society,ask any Americans, who's deir biggest threat militarily,dey ll tell u it's Russia.Americans only c a threat frm china wen it comes to d economic aspect.And pls Russia's isn't looking up to china for anything,Oda Dan to help it evade sanctions,aside dat tell me wat bragging right china has ova Russia.China even has bragging right ova d USA more,do u knw hw much d USA is oweing china? Soo wat are u saying. China is nt interested in warfare nw,because it's lifetime ambition is to ova take d USA as d biggest economy in d world.afta it has achieve dat objective,Oda tins can come into play.D mistake Russia did ND will try ND correct nw,is trying to neglect it's manufacturing industries,ND concentrate more on military warfare,in Oda to scare d USA away.wit d current happenings,ND how easy it was for d west to sanction russia economically,it will nw b forced to look inward,ND nationalize more.Russia is already making inwards into Africa militarily.we saw how dey are stabilizing Mali, central African republic, Niger republic, Libya ND co,ND even building military bases in dose countries.If it plays it politics ND diplomacy well,it will b a can't do without,same way d west can't do without china now.D same china dey all relegated ND sanctioned years back.

Bro, the US spent over $3trillion in Aghanistan not $20billion and still took a big L.

Russia’s military budget is $65billion. But the US and NATO countries have spent almost $10billion on Ukraine in 3months, with almost $70billion budgeted and they’re gonna take another L in Ukraine, lol.

The US and Ls are like Siamese Twins, lol.

Well, that’s your village square uneducated understanding of what it’s going on.

If US and NATO think Russia can’t bite - they would’ve at least joined the war directly rather than keep sending billions of dollars in weapons. The US is always trigger happy to invade powerless countries and show its faux military might - why’s it hesitant this time and relying on propaganda war? Those at pentagon know better, lol.

I can list all US failures in Iraq and Afghanistan here and they’re more horrible than whatever Russia’s perceived failures in Ukraine are. And Russia is fighting a much more powerful country with endless access to billions of dollars worth of western weapons and the Russians are outnumbered by 3:1. American troops wouldn’t survive a month fighting the way Russian ground forces are fighting, trust me.

Russia isn’t even using its elite units in Ukraine apart from a BTG of VDV and SSO. The legendary 200 VDV paratroopers that captured Gostomel airport in Kiev and held it against 3 brigades of Ukrainian forces and hundreds of NATO special forces until other Russian troops arrived. And they never lost that airport and they all left voluntarily for Donbass. No unit in US military can pull that off and a lot of US vets on Twitter are still in awe of those guys.

Fear the Russian bear like Pentagon/NATO does, lol. Even without nuclear weapons (Russia can destroy all NATO countries in 30mins like the head of Russian space agency said) - NATO ground forces aren’t a match for Russian ground forces. The only advantage NATO has is with airforce. BTW, Russia captured 3 British SAS members two weeks ago around Dnipro and SAS are more elite than any special forces group in US military.

Leave the bear alone, lol.



NATO and the USA fear Russia, same Russia that small Ukraine is not scared of, the same Russia that small Ukrain is punching and slapping around like mumu.

Ukraine doesn't have a Navy, but they sank Russian ships with ease with their own locally made Neptin missiles like a superpower, they wasted 12 Putin generals like a superpower, they wasted40 colonels like a superpower, they destroyed countless Russian military hardware like a superpower, they blasted Putin back to his borders like a superpower...

.but it is NATO with the most modern military with the best military capacity in the history of man that is caring of weak Russia that is still struggling with a small country that doesn't even have one active fighter jet ii the air, no navy or any serious military hardware apart from MANPADS and drones..

Leave NATO alone, maybe we'll take you seriously when Putin is successful on the battlefield with small Ukrain that he can not even defeat.





Dude, your posts are so off base, so ridiculous and void of reality, I think you are just joking around and should never be taken seriously.

CaseSensitive:
Now Sweden and Finland have finally realised the strategic importance of being a NATO member. Russia can only threaten but they can’t do anything and Putin knows it. Moscow can’t continue to build up its military forces in the Arctic region and expect Finland and Sweden not to see it as a security threat.

Ukraine invasion obviously fast tracked that strategic decision because if Russia walk all over Ukraine, split NATO and possibly US-EU partnership, then very soon they will be knocking on the doors of Sweden and Finland with guns and missiles. Putin thought he could threaten and bully and the world will cower but what is playing out is exactly the opposite of his forecast. He successfully recruited two more members to NATO with very advanced military might; both maritime and air forces especially. Now who's losing?

Have ever find out How North Korea fires missile flying over Japan into the sea of japan. grin
a nuke isn't connected to the internet , the only option would be to infiltrate the location it's been launched from and change its destination that if the president of such a country would give u access to the launch code which are time sensitive (like ur bank token

In order to terminate a nuke u need an inside man( sorry men) in the destination the nuke is kept or launch launch a counter bomb to collide with it in mid air while it's still gaing attitude (good luck with that as most nukes have incredible speed)

Note *once it starts falling there towards its location there is little or nothing that can be done as their downward velocity is usually very high
