Because when I see comments like yours I know its based on emotions and the narrative you want to beleive instead of actually digging and getting facts on ground.

Let's start with their poseidon underwater drone that is capable of creating Tsunami's that can bury all of the U.K as was analysed on a news network some months back...

I disagree with this. NATO and the US would defeat Russia, but it's not the same if they choose to fight Russia one-on-one. They knew they couldn't fight Russia one by one.

In fact, Patton once said if he found himself between the Germans and Russians, he would shoot both ways... grin

This Scott Ritter is the kind of person that allowed Russia to build a nuke in the first instance just because they wanted the war to end quick. Russia should NEVER have been allowed to have nukes!!

Lol..you don't even know the country I am in...you have already assumed. Is it the U.S I decided to leave for a European city you are making mouth of? How many of my colleagues are trooping out because many cities have become a shithole. Even many Americans who have been to other countries say they don't beleive it is the greatest country presently.

Don't believe or trust Americans , they are masters in mind games.

US keep developing dangerous weapons without announcing or making details public.

Remember US annual defence budget is $750m annually while that of Russia is $56m , so what do you think America do with $750m defence budget annually ? Yeah building unclassified weapons.
Till this day no one knows the bomb US used in Hiroshima, not even the Russians can tell.

That USA has a huge defense and military budget doesn't equate that they are using it all for developing new or classified weapons.

Remember that USA has the largest military bases in different countries of the world.
They spend most of these funds to supply of weapons, logistics and intelligence in those bases and indeed the world.

How many military bases does Russia, if at all they have compared to America.

So don't use their military budget to judge their arsenals.

Russia still has the largest collection of nuclear weapons in the world.

The Russians defeated the greatest army to ever exist - Hitler's Wehrmacht!

From the ashes of Stalingrad where the Germans held the Russians in a seige and inflicted a whooping 20million deaths , the Russians slowly crawled out and began a counter offensive putsch that drove the Germans 1,700 miles back to Berlin.

Russia is the only nation/empire never to have been conquered by a foreign invader.

The Swedes, Napoleon , Germans were all defeated on Russian soil.

The title of where Empires go and die should be Russia and not Afghanistan.

There is something about the Slav. He is determined to survive . Growing up in the harsh winters of Rus land creates such a formidable opponent that will refuse to stay down despite being knocked to the ground.

The reason why would be invaders always repeat the folly of the past invaders is because at first glance, Russia is begging to be invaded. Large swath of flat land with no natural barriers between Europe and Russia makes a land invasion a very tempting prospect for any would be invader. Hitler wanted to drive the Slavs beyond the Ural mountains and occupy all of the land before it in his Lebensraum goal aka "living space" for the Third Reich.

America and NATO however want all of Russia beyond the Ural mountains up to its eastern most flank. A tall order none the less but this is typical PAX American expansionist over ambitions mixed with Anglo Saxon constant degrading of perceived rivals which that chalk island known as Britain is used to .

As Russia roll in Zelensky as the president would surrender to invading army to save his people, right?

You reason like your Moniker.

The problem with the average Nigerian is the evident lack of the ability to think critically. In your World, you are convinced that Russia just decided out of the blues to attack Ukraine. In fact this is how most people see it.

Propaganda and fake news serves to brainwash and direct public opinion. The truth is always there for you. Do a little digging and you will find it or you can just to be mentally lazy and believe whatever mainstream media is feeding you.

The Pope who is the highest authority as per Christianity have told the West on multiple occasions that they provoked Russia into this war. That is why they hate the Pope right now but unfortunately they can't do nothing to him. Diplomats and expert on international relations have all condemned the US for practically starting this war.

Crimea was not the beginning. This war has been on for a very long time. It's a shame something as avoidable as this has been allowed to perpetuate for this long. Every right thinking person knows that Ukraine is a no-go area for NATO due to its proximity to Russia. In case you didn't know this, Russia and the rest of Europe have always been at loggerheads for as long as we can remember.

When your Neighbor decides to give your archenemy a safe haven, you have every right to declare war on that unfriendly Neighbor. It's called being proactive. Something you'd not know a thing about since you are from a country where the government always wait for the damage to be done before they React.

US would not use nukes on Russia cities because of their civilian population, USA has a high respect for human lives, but Putin wouldn't blink twice if the opinion of nuking New York, Texas or California presents Itself regardless of it's high civilian population.

That's the difference between both of them, and that's why the US are threading softly and cautiously. They're more concerned about human lives.

Is that what you think?? Only if u know how much the US wants to nuke Russia out of the face of this planet, but all they need is the right opportunity to do so and an opportunity that won’t put them in a bad light

Lol...Normandy invasion was in 1944, by then Germany had already lost the war, they were just fighting to keep their heads from drowning. Hitler had executed Erwin Rommel (one if the brightest German field marshal whom even the allies respected) and other high ranking generals. They lacked man power.

The Invasion of the Solvet union was done around June 1941 when the 3rd Reich (German high command) was at the height of it's power. They swept through the cities of Russia and were brought to a complete halt at the beginning of the winter. And since they weren't equipped for a winter warfare, they suffered fom logistics problems, supplies couldn't get to them, the Russians countered them by January 1942 and pushed them back.

If you must know, the Western allies didn't win WW2, Russia won it. Cos even the German high command admitted that they lost more than 70% of their manpower on the Eastern front.

The battle of Normandy was just to liberate France from Germany control after it became obvious that they had lost the war.
at midnight, June 6 1944, the whole of Europe was under German control, when it (operation overlord) was enforced under Dwight Eisenhower, and Montgomery. Then, it was only Soviets that was remaining for Germans to take... France, Poland, Netherland, belgium.et all, were under nazis. Remember Charles de gaulle was already in exile.

Really !! You are definitely living in a different reality. Soviet Union tested there first nuclear weapon on August 1949. At the height of cold War with the west. Infact, they did it before any other European country, including britain. Scott ritter was born in 1961. How on earth could he have played a role in Soviet union development of nuclear weapon ?

For your information, if the west had attacked Soviet union during the cold War, they will be met by a disgraceful defeat, just like many others before them. Infact, united states actually explored the possibility of engaging the Soviet union, during cold. They went as far letting nazi millitary war criminals, to work for them, because of there experience fighting the Soviet in the Eastern front. Unfortunately, the stakes were too high, and there was no way they could have defeated Soviet union. So they continued to jaw jaw, rather than engage there powerful adversary.The second World War made Soviet union/Russia a milkiatry power it is today. Out of ruins of war, a major super power emerged.

Without those nukes, there's nothing special about the Russia military. Hitler and his tiny Germany invaded them in WW2 when they were still solvet union and about 10 times the size of Germany; and almost succeeded if not for the Russian winter and logistics problems.

NATO can take on Russia in an invasion warfare but if Russia decides to deploy their nukes on American and British cities, the tide of the battle would change, cos no one is ready to gamble millions of lives of her citizens over a war that could have been avoided.

This is what America and her allies are afraid of.

That the Russians actually built a bomb almost 3times more powerful if not more than the atomic bomb the US used in hiroshima, but never went into full scale production cos of fear of its destructive nature.

It’s just a military scope - fake it make your enemy feels they stronger than you..

Ukraine proved nothing bro.

NATO is fighting Russia indirectly in the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Do you know the amount of funds, and Military aids NATO has deployed to Ukraine to defend themselves?

Do you know the amount of sanctions meted on Russia by different countries because of this war?

Yet Russia is keeping the war going and also balancing their economy.

How many sanctions were given to America in their invasion of different countries?
Iraq, Afghanistan etc?

America fought only the military of those countries without external assistance, so it looks like America defeated them easily. But Russia is fighting Ukrainian forces plus external military assistance, weapons and intelligence from NATO.
