Like I said, you have nothing at all to offer.

The US removed their nukes from Turkey, one year after the Cuban missile crisis, whereas Krushev was forced to remove his to forestall a US invasion.

You'll be ignored form here on.
To forestall a US invasion..... tongue Even the craziest US general would be amazed at your incredulously suicidal bragado.

Lol. Having the missile is one thing, having the capacity to take out the entire NATO satellite system is quite another. That is obvious propaganda designed to scare western populations into pressuring their governments to stay out of the war.

It is the same tactic used by China and North Korea, and Iran. What do they have in common? Despite all their weapons tests and displays, they never actually make a move, while NATO makes no threats, but moves all over the world.

Incidentally, that was the same tactic used by Saddam Hussein, who promised the mother of all wars shortly before his entire military infrastructure was ravaged in less that 24 hours.

If you still think you are making sense, let me ask you, do you think Russia can interfere in Puerto Rico the way the NATO is interfering in Ukraine? Have some insight!

Oh, and your statement of evidence, "Everyone knows" really means nothing.
Edited.

Your argument lacks logical deduction. In essence, you are saying for one to be relevant and be taking seriously, one has to be a "bully", right? If that's the case with your illogical assertion, I'm sorry to tell you that you made no sense.

It also shows that you know nothing about geopolitics and realpolitik.

That NATO and the US does interfer, invade, overthrow legitimate governments and destabilize nations everywhere is what certified their capabilities as a true power while the likes of Russia and China just sit within the periphery of their borders to deter threats without making concerted moves is what make them irrelevant means you're reasoning like a kid.

NATO was designed to serve US hegemonic influence of world domination. Russia's geopolitical interest lies within the periphery of it's formal Soviet space, with a flinch down the Mediterranean from the Black Sea, pivoting towards the East of Europe and Asia.

So while Russia will sit docile on most international conflicts, it won't hesitate to act decisively where it's national interests cum geopolitical red lines are threatened.

Iraq and Libya are strong Russian business allies but Russia did nothing to help them when the US led NATO missions invaded and turn these countries into rubbles today. Apart from weapons sold to them, Russia did not intervene because they serve no geopolitical core interest for Russia as a geopolitical power.

So Russia acquiesced even to the bombing of Libya and from then, the West took the initiative and, mistaking the Russian passivity as weakness, they opened another front door in their hegemonic quest for control of resources and power...by destabilizing Ukraine and sponsoring revolution in Syria. The primary goal was to make Ukraine a NATO member and the price for that was Sevastopol and the Crimean naval ports where NATO ships would be stationed. The goal for Syria was to get a pipeline via Turkey and Israel that would pass through Syria into Europe to cut off the Russian gas leverage.

And they got the shocker of their lives.

Russia did not only outflanked NATO in Syria and in Ukraine but it took Crimea and annealed the CIA sponsored colour coded revolution in both countries. After giving a one hour clear-the-air notice to the US military command in the Middle East stationed in Iraq, the next day saw Russian forces launching kaliber cruise missiles from submarines hundreds of miles away in the Mediterranean sea while Russian fighter planes started bombing the NATO sponsored and equipped terrorists in Syria, thereby establishing itself as grandmaster of the geopolitical game.

The ediots could only sit and watch while US polithiefcians wailed and demand explanations from the US army on how come Russia was able to deploy it's forces so fast. cool (because they always believe that Russia has nothing to offer militarily aside nukes). Till date, Assad is still in power and Ukraine can't join the EU let alone being a NATO member because Russia acted when the West crossed its redlines.

So, let this sink into your mind. NATO can make moves wherever they liked, but once they cross another Russian red line, even Satan would be shocked what the Russians would do.

History tells us that those who dared crossed the Russian geopolitical redlines never returned alive or remain the same to tell the tales. Georgia, Ukraine and Syria are prime recent examples that confirmed historical truths about Russia.

Those of you kids who thinks that Russia is irrelevant just because you don't press a Russian made smartphone or you are not opportuned to be zombified by a Russian version of Hollywood, which decieved you that life started and ends in America, better pray that the idiots in political suits in the West don't drive Russia to nut one day because your entire existence might depends on it.

Don't bother replying me.

When the war starts soon, "he go shock u" how Russia will quickly make the US missile defence systems useless. I rest my case! smiley
No missile defense system is as useless as the Patriot System. Even the Jews blasted it performance and the Saudis couldn't hide their dissatisfaction with it when they visited Russia and demanded for the S-400. You know the uselessness of US defense had reached a regrettable height when Pentagon have to induct the Israeli Iron Dome. angry

Pathetic how the MIC is milking the government dry through dubious and overblown contracts.

As if the US doesn't do the same thing..
If we to do a research you would find out most people know more US weapons than Russia..
If US failed defense systems like patriot is popular..
If they don't exhibit how do you know most of their weapons..
Just say you don't know where to watch US display their weapons
Unfortunately, that's what happened when you have a bunch of ignorant kids yapping on things they know nothing about online. No nation is more warmongering than the United States of Atrocities. But this kids here don't know it.

US military defence has never been built on the mantra of the first strike with Russia, it has always been built on MAD and the Russians know that. The reason you make this assertion is that the Russians always make their inventions available for all to see, and this basically is to denounce the integrity of US weapons missile defence systems deployed in Europe especially within former USSR member states. If you think the US is docile in this area I rest my case.
Really? Tell me, which weapons the United States has that hasn't been showcased for people to see? Stop deceiving yourself. No nation can hide the presence of a new weapon, they can only hide it's actually capability.

The only reason you're hearing all the noise about Russia's new weaponry (some of which are not really new but upgrade of old tech) is because the crazy Western media covens in larger parts over blown it out of proportion and make it feel like Russia is the only nation doing these sort of things. Of course, one of the reasons they do this is to get more fundings (more stealing of taxpayers money) from their governments.

This same satellite destroying weapon was tested by USA, France, India and China few years apart to recent time and nobody heard any of this crazy media mantra. Now that Russia has tested its own upgraded version (mind you, it's old tech) the west are singing war rhetorics like the crazies they have always been.

Leave Russia alone and stop falling for the west double standards.

When the US undergrades themselves , the one thinking to be at the top position should start worrying, because the reality
is way different.
The General wasn't undergrading US capabilities here, he simply stated an obvious fact. The US have been playing catch-up in missile technology since the last two decades.

While this current rap is part of a traditional scheme to get more fundings from the government, it is also true that they do not have hypersonic glide vehicles at the moment.

Eventually, they will catch-up because they have the finance and the manpower to do it. But for now, the unprecedented corruption in the MIC would make sure that they syphoned so much funds from the government in the name of Russian and Chinese threat. That's how America work.

olugabbie:
Lol! You can't build a missile without testing. When u fire it into the sky, satelite will pick it up. The Chinese denied testing hypersonic missile. But the missile was picked up by different satelites when it was released into the sky. In this day and age, some weapon can be built in secrecy but testing can not be done in secrecy Especially if it is a flying machine.
Very correct.

CSTRR:
Well, the US will focus on stealth planes to breach those defences.

How feasible would that be?

Hopefully we will never know because that would be WW3.
Stealth? grin LMAO. No stealth plane can penetrate any area covered by Russian defense forces. The S-400 sees everything, including the F22 raptor. That is why Turkey abandoned the F35 flying coffin (despite spending so much on it in initial investment) and instead went for the S-400. Because the Turkish military top brass knew what was happening to US planes over the Syrian skies. The S-400 was "painting" all US planes in Syria whenever they fly in and out of their bases, including the F22 raptors stationed in the Icirlik airbase in Turkey. Think about it: a NATO member state abandoning a joint stealth plane project to purchase a A2AD system from the block arch enemy, that speaks volume.

cool

Anyway, I don't think a plane violating the airspace of another can lead to WW3. It's only when they attack each other in open conflict that we stand the risk of such escalation. Till then, the US is a dying superpower that may just decide to drag the rest of the world with it to the ground.

It's laughable that while the US is scrambling and scampering about trying to dissuade state actors from purchasing the S-400 due to its unmatched capabilities, Russia has rolled out the S-500. I wonder what foul cry they will cry next when the S-700 comes calling...the system whose missile can fly round about the world.

It's fact that missile technology is a lost race to the US.

The amount isn't the problem, it's the reliability that they will pay whenever necessary. If a betting company cannot guarantee this confidence, then no one should take them serious. If you cannot guarantee the payment of ordinary 3k, how would you guarantee the one of 300k?

That's the crux of the issue here...

I myself I'm currently having this same issue with merrybet. I put in for withdrawal 3days ago and got nothing from them. I decided to check the account today only to see that the money has been reversed back to my betting account.
It doesn't suppose to be this way.

Your statement and claims are false.

How has Russia been unable to cater for infrastructure? A country that has the 3rd largest rail network in the world with over 80% of it electrified.
It has the 5th largest Road network in the world with 1.28m km of roads with over 70% being paved roads. It has the 2nd largest Inland Waterways networks in the world with 102,000km of navigable rivers and river ports.

You claimed that the German economy is 3 times bigger but this is false. The size of the German economy in 2020 (in PPP terms) was $4.4tn while the size of the Russian economy in 2020 (in PPP terms) was $4.09tn. So how is it 3 times bigger?

You claimed that the Russians are on average "hungry people" but then it is world's largest producer of wheat, oats, barley and buckwheat, 4th largest producer of carrots, cucumbers and cabbages.

All this despite being one of the countries with the harshest climates in the world.

You seriously need to get your fact rights and remove your mouth from the feeding bottle of propaganda.
You can't blame the poor boy, too much Hollywood and brainwashing by Western media's have left him unable to think for himself. Most of them think US is the El Dorado of the world's best living standard.

Mangekyo:
It is not the dream of Russia to become world power. That dream is for China. What the Russians want is just to protect their land and citizen, you never hear them threatening to attack Europe or to conquer the world.
If you haven't noticed, all the weapons the Russians are creating now are for their defences. They have no reason to go to war with anyone, it's just the western media that make it look like they are threatening the peace of the world.
Even during the world War 2, the soviet Russia signed a threaty, a non-aggression pact with the nazi German. They only wanted to be left alone despite being a very powerful organization. It is only the after the Germans broke the non aggression pact that they had with them when they attack Moscow that they finally decided to enter the war. They were even the one who ended up defeating the nazi Germans.

I still say to this very day. Any country including the USA who attacks Russia in their home soil would meet a miserable defeat. The chances of them winning wouldn't surpass 10%. The Russians are ruthless when it comes to defending their land.
Meanwhile, it is also true that they aren't that strong economically, and that is why they have formed an alliance with the Chinese who are.

Also, the USA may be strong economically but don't be deceived. Those guys are currently owing £11 trillion dollars of which they haven't repaid. The USA would suffer with repaying those loans the moment they get overtaken by Chinese.
Sensible.
