Russia can’t shoot down Israel jets because 30% of Israel citizens are Russians.
Most Russians billionaires and millionaires are also Israel citizens.
They own many businesses in Israel

It's documented fact that Russia has a soft spot for Israel. But if push comes to shoves, don't be surprised to see some IDF planes fallen off the skies. The Russians never forget a backstab.

barojana:
It seems no one knows for sure the capabilities of s400 in tracking and killing off the f35.

You can only say that to yourself, not the Turks who knew everything that was happening in the Eastern flank of the Euphrates about how Russian Defense systems were "painting'' US planes all over the Syrian skies as they fly to and fro the Icirlik airbase, including the much rated F22. That was the MAJOR reason they gave the middle finger to the F35 program despite the huge investment they made on it, and instead went for the Russian S400. The US DoD even complained about Russia equipment painting all of its planes in Syria.

A NATO member going for the S400 against all odds is a testament to it's capability. You need to see how the US and Turkey were fighting each other over who should keep and study a Pantsir S1 short range defense system captured in Libya from a based abandoned by Hafter forces few months ago. Russian Defense systems are highly craved workaholic assets. That's a fact.

rottennaija:
Just shoot down the jets as well. Let's have a little war.

What would you gain from a war?

Livelystone01:
Cool reply bro but let me say this fact. Ideologies hardly die when there are willing people ready to front it. Racism may be dead on paper, but there are silent voices operating in it today. Court judgements and cases sentencing are examples.
How do you explain different sentencing for same crime between two different people, let's say black and white in the US today?

Can we also relate this to what is happening in Nigeria today?
Because racism is just an international term, there is a whole lot of "isms" playing out here locally.

The Igbos are hardworking, yet they are still talking because it is the right thing to do.

Truth is, there is no level playing field anywhere in the world where a tiny little dot of "ism" exiat, that's what I am talking about in the US.

Things might be normal on paper, but the reality on ground is way different and unless you are trying to ignore that, I don't think anyone can help and make things better.

One of the reasons people are fighting against racist abuses on the media today is because they might be texts today, but if not checked now, who knows what might happen when they pick up arms and begin another holocaust tomorrow.

Finally, it is difficult to understand the pains of someone who's putting on a shoe with pins inside. Unless you try it on, you'd shout at him to stop making noise.

Sensible all through.

The world today is far from normalcy. The more we humans evolve along an avalanche of civility, the more we move closer to self destruction. Man is an irony such that I sometimes wonder whether the Creator himself even understand us. We want the 'best' but at the same time crave the 'worst'. Well, that's a topic for another day.

You were right about racial ideology vis-a-vis the United States. The self-acclaim bastion of democracy in modern human history. Yeah, the US waste no time in lecturing, sanctioning and even declaring wars on other nations for not respecting democratic principles especially in the area of human rights, when itself has very little or no respect for coloured people on it's soil.

Here is a country whose political, social and econonic institutions thrive on covert racism. Even in 21st century America, a black kid who sees the police, turns his back and run simply out of fear get multiple shots from behind, but if the kid was white, the police would, in most cases, only just give a chase or even let them be.

Of all the developed nations of the world, it's only in 'democratic America' that a criminal black man is mugged, stripped and threated like a slave, and sentenced twice for similar crime committed by a white felon who can work into a church, kill black worshippers and after his arrest, the police buys him a burger.

If anyone tells you that racism is a thing of the past just because the Jim Crow's slave era is no more, well, tell them to wake up from their delusive sleep. Racism is well and alive in the US, just that it's in its covert form; in democratic institutionalized uniforms.

I'm interested. How much is the pay? Here is email. steveemem at Gmail dot com

Meninmen:
Very well. They backed down!

Explain.

seanwilliam:
Just shut up if you can’t comprehend simple English ..

He said “. Russia is a poor country if you don't know compared to the top European countries, US, Uk and even China. “ Russia is very poor country compared to those emboldened.. Russia no even Dey top 10 ..


Which means , if dem go to war, Russia is gone

Really? What's your definition of poor? You said if Russia go to war, it would be finish for her. But Russia fought Georgia, fought assymetrically in Ukraine, singlehandedly aided and gave victory to the Assad government in Syria with cruise missiles flying from one continent to another and ships and planes flying sorties that surpassed the amount flown by the allied forces in WW2, and they are still very much around. Have they fallen into national poverty yet?

Leave CNN or BBSin alone if you want to get real facts. Russia is not a poor country by any standard. You call a country where millions of it's citizens can afford vacation travels around the world a poor country? Don't let them fool you friend. There are more than 40 million people living on food stamps in the US today. Every nation has its share of poverty.

seanwilliam:
Some people are just so uninformed..


America military budget is more than Russia , China , Indian , uk, Germany combined.


This is just simple analysis

USA spends over 600b$ which is more than naija economy on military alone , yet some Are still saying Russia can match usa .. una funny ..

Brother, military spending does not dictate capability. The Saudis outspend Russia,France and Germany, but they are not even a match in terms of armaments not to mention technological known-how or quality.

What most of you don't know is that majority of the US military budgets ends up in stationeries and maintenance of bases.. only a fragment of that sum transcend into actual armoury and new military hardware.

atonement12:
The whole US moon landing is a hoax!

Unfortunately, many of these brainwashed fellows don't know.

DenreleDave:
U r a big time liar....

Russia didn't fight nazi alone... Us too fought, UK too fought
..


Use less liar

The UK fought bit we're beaten like idiots. The Yankees contributed much as well but everyone knew they came only when the war was reaching its peak end. You cannot compare that with a nation that fought from day one to the very last, practically ended the war after marching into Berlin.

toxtimmy:
Una watch too many Rambo movies and think say war with NATO/USA and Russia will be like movies.. lol..just like Hollywood mess una thinking up na so Nollywood too don mess our thinking too.

This is just a way for private companies selling weapons in NATO countries to up profit, and supply used training materials and spare parts, contractors making money, they NATO generals are getting kick backs in plush jobs in MIC companies when they retire, mic donating to politicians as mic make money, it's a way of controling the minds of their people via the old psychological fact that if you portray you have an enemy the whole country will unite and submit to anything goverment do or say.

I mean ask NATO how they fared in Afghanistan?... Over 20 years and NATO is withdrawing with no victory... Russia have the capacity to fight back in land, sea, air and space and with every type of weapon USA or nato have.

First for them to gang up as NATO to fight Russia shows they know Russia's strength and the country pushing other countries in NATO is the USA as USA only cannot fight Russia and win... They bribe this smaller nations with money and they all jump on the band wagon not knowing they are being set up by USA.

None will use nuclear weapons so all good for now... But the first person when go taste defeat will use nuclear weapon... Vis a vis it means mutual assured self destruction for all including you

If it's conventional weapon war then the whole of Europe will turn to graveyard... And for the first time ever there will be thousands of bombs raining on USA homeland.

The silent part is China will publicly be on Russia's side... Russia have allies too and they have Russian speaking people in all through most of eastern Europe that identify with Russia... All the way to Germany.

To summarize it will be an apocalypse... What you folks don't know is Africa will be impacted big time and honestly... And people will suffer here in Africa.

NATO is just an arm of colonization... Why is only oyinbo countries in NATO by the way?... Why is it small countries or countries with very poor economy they attack?...i.e. Yugoslavia, Syria, Iran, Libya and after they attack the share the countries amongst themselves from a business perspective such as natural resources.

Even NATO is afraid of North Korea as they fought and they could not defeat Korea.

War is not movie... Especially war with a country that can destroy the whole world in 30 mins is simply madness.

Very insightful but unfortunately, most of the people you are trying to educate are already dead to reality. They live in the fantasy world created for them by Hollywood, CNN and BBSin. Pathetic.

Meninmen:
Lol. You don't know your history. U2 planes flying over Cuba confirmed the presence of those missiles in Cuba which triggered the Naval blockage of Cuba and the other events that lead to the Soviets backing down.

The Soviet backed down how?

kendrick9:
Russia didn't win the war,
The Allies did...
Don't buy into the propaganda
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/6/1/why-putin-wants-to-monopolise-victory-over-nazi-germany[url]

Unfortunately, you're the one buying into the revisionist attempt by the west trying to rewrite history. Who marched into Berlin and ended the Reich? Certainly, it isn't the allied combined: it's the damn Russians.

Yes, the allied forces fought and did their part, but no other country can boast of or replaced the kind of sacrifice the Russians made in th course of victory over the axis: not in this world nor in the the next to come would mankind ever experience a battle like that of Stalingrad where the incomparable Russian will turn the tides against the enemy.

crystalpapers:
Russia is a strong country militarily. They posses some of the worlds advanced and dangerous weapons.

Japan announced herself to world when she defeated Russia at the sea in 1905, it was a total annihilation.

If war should breakout today I think countries like Japan, India and the other allies would support USA. What is war without allies? Destruction.

India would support the US when major war break out? Tell me what would be the rationale for their support.

Japan would have been understandable considering their beef with Russia about the Kuri Islands, and their long standing rivalry with China....but....

The reality of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is still very fresh in the historical mind frame of the average Japanese. Take it or leave it: Japan will NEVER support the US in any major war that would break out. Many of these nations you call allies now will simply declare neutrality once the Sparks starts to fly.

It is when the first bullet strikes that many of you keyboard generals will realise just how hated the US is in the eyes of many nations.

Beancounter93:
I thought we were having a discussion, not an abuse shout fiesta.




Most , if not all of space x tech was developed in the USA.

Their first rocket...the Falcon was a two stage rocket...typical of the 'staged' rockets developed for NASA's moon launches.(which were developed by Werner Von braun, a Nazi German scientist)

Elon did recently praise a Russia rocket design though

See Space x wikipedia page

Friend, without Russia rocket engines, the US finds it difficult to go to space. Period. That's the reason they didn't include any of it on the CAATSA list.

baralatie:
The Russia army was only able to conduct this warfare as a result of supplies and backup from the us and the allied forces

Another truckload of ignorance and revisionism.

eminemkayc:
Kindly be aware that stealth technology wasn't developed by the Americans but by a Russian Mathematician called Pyotr Ufimtsev. In the 60s Pyotr was conducting an advanced research into the deflection of strong electromagnetive waves firstly on 2D objects and then on 3D objects. He derived the mathematical equations with all his literature written in Russian. His works were later de-classified by the Russian military at the time and the Americans stole and studied his research which Locheed Martins used in the design of F-117, a stealth fighter and thereafter, the B-2 strategic bomber. The Russians are highly advanced in the field of spacial and analytical physics and mathematics. They are known to have designed and tested the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by mankind - the Tsar Bomba. With due considerations to the capabilities of western nations, it will be foolhardly for NATO to directly confront Russia as the consequent devastation far out weigh any benefits. The Russians single handedly fought a ruthless war with the Germans in the battle of Stalingrad - One of the most deadlist War in the history of Warfare. They stopped the powerful Germans and kicked them out of the Soviet Union.

A lot of folks here are just plain ingnorant.

Vicotex:
hahahhahahha ignoramus.
Space x is using Russian made engines for his spacecraft.
Google is your friend

The guy is just ignorant.

Beancounter93:
Space X is Elon's initiative...Russia has its own separate space industry and agency...which manufactures the Cosmos and Proton rockets, as well as the Soyuz capsule, which was used to transport US astronauts when the Space shuttle was retired.

Infact the Russians were not able to get a man on the moon largely because their rocket design was defective compared to the US , to give an example.

Imao!

Beancounter93:
Actually, he is right. US is far ahead of Russia.

Russia is an advanced nation, but for every advanced bit that they have the US is probably miles ahead.

The problem was that for a long time, Russia was under communist rule...which meant that their inventors were not making money for their inventions, meanhwile the US inventors were making (for the most part!) money from their inventions, leading to more investment in more inventions.

An Elon Musk would not have been possible, or even a Bill Gates, in Russia.

US far ahead of Russia...when you make exaggerations without facts, you arrived at sheer ignorance. Militarily speaking, the US is only far ahead in numerics, not in quality or type. Get your facts straight.

Communism did not, and has not stopped progressive inventions in Russia. Rather, It's Russia geopolitical ideology that shapes it's sense of invention, not the system of government they practiced. The Elon Musk you're talking about cannot launch it's satellites into orbit without Russian rocket engine. It's a matter of ideology. US in spite of it's efforts is still pathetically dependent on Russian rocket engines to go to space.

And in case you don't know, Yankees actually copy some Russian techs, not the other way round.

My friend, let's not kid ourselves. There are many billionaires in Russia too but they're defined by their own ideology.

Has Russia won any war in the last 100 years ?

Be it known to thee that some persons are wired to die with their eyes wide open. Those are the sons of Adam who lives in the "False reality" world created for them by the hegemonic brainwashing machine called Hollywood. In that fantasy world, one man called Rambo can kill of a whole city without a single bullet penetrating him. When you have these type of kids running amoc on threads they knew nothing about, we can do nothing but to leave them to their ignorance. It's useless trying to educate brickwalls. Anyone that tells you that Russia and China combined are no match for the US don't deserve your response.

Okay, fellas....Goodvibes007, Prideoflincoln1 a.k.a Lucasbalo, budaatum, benalvino2...nice digging with you all. Don't take anything personal, we are better than all these follies going around. Let me retire to my humble fish farm to continue the hustle...

No matter which side of the political spectrum you find yourself, always remember that we are humans striving for humanity, with sulvival as the key. Let's fear God and do His will. See you later.

Goodvibes007:
Lol. I don't know of this guy. It seems I wasn't on this thread when he was active, but he has showed a severe lack of understanding of the subject matter.

Before there was Good Vibes, I am. Far more vast than you can imagine.

benalvino2:
He must provide left leaning news that lies all the time. Good, wait for it

You are wasting your time arguing with him. For someone of that nature, black can never be black if he isn't the one painting it.

Goodvibes007:
Here we go again. He doesn't even know that the daily mail is right leaning.
I think, it's safe to tell this guy to stick to APC's nation news paper.

Of course,every single news source that dismantle your narrative is right leaning, including Politico, USAToday, Vox, the whole of YouTube, while only the left leaning ones tells the truth. Try to live Good to your Vibes Mr. 007. God is watching.

benalvino2:
We are all partisan but theirs is coupled with hate.

Exactly. That's why I called it "uncontrolled".

Goodvibes007:
Absolutely zero clue.

Again, he is now confusing NewYork Post (far right leaning) with NewYork Times (left leaning).

Typical American politics casual.

This is far-right leaning too....

All these epistles for a severe lack of understanding of English comprehension.

Better you stick to ApC vs PDP.

I love the way you bow out honourably. It's always the most Noble thing to do when reality kicks in. Thanks buddy. Our Apc and Pdp are the ugly versions of your GOP and Dems, and we have been dealing with them since eons.
