Rawani:
America suddenly doesn't care about its citizens safety any more, then Russia swoops in to save the day?

the plot thickens...

cc: sukkot

You never can tell, but don't you forget that the US also abandoned many of its soldiers in Vietnam after the war.

sukkot:
All smokes and mirrors. they all work for the same people. the illuminated elite bankers. all wars are manufactured.

all wars are bankers wars, but i dont think there is any plot here o.

bogzyboy:
America cares about its citizens but the thing is there are different class of citizens in the US.
No one gives a sh1t about Yemeni Americans.

Yemeni Americans or Americans doing business in Yemen?

Hello Nairalander...

I would be glad if we can allow this #bouycutSAbusinessinNigeria to trend on all social network. Due to what's is going on in South Africa, as the south africans have no respect for other black Africans. They blame other black africans for there stupidity.

They have numbers of business in Nigeria and they can't treat ppl badly that too bad.. Few of SA business in Nigeria.

MTN
DSTV
PEP
Shoprite
Spar

And many more. Human Right Law should be respected.

That won't stop the cold war between them

Of course, it wont..

The US government has thanked the Russian authorities for their help in evacuating Americans from Yemen, after the US State Department said it had no plans to evacuate its citizens from the war-torn country, leaving hundreds stranded.
US Secretary of State John Kerry "expressed gratitude for assistance in the evacuation of American citizens," from Yemen in a telephone conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday, after 18 US citizens were evacuated aboard a Russian ship taking 308 people, including 45 Russians from the port of Aden to Djibouti.

Two airplanes carrying 366 people of varying nationalities fleeing the Yemeni capital Sanaa landed in Moscow on Sunday, where one American traveling on the plane told RT, "We feel like we’re left behind. No support. I called every Embassy – all the embassies in Riyadh, in Cairo, in Djibouti – to help me and my family, but they always apologize. They said 'help is coming' – but it never came. People now think that Yemeni American are like second-class Americans."

Thousands of Americans are trapped in Yemen. US gov't had no plans in place to evacuate them from a war zone.

The US State Department evacuated its American Embassy staff from Yemen in February, having suspended Embassy operations due to the deteriorating security situation in the country, but maintains it has "no plans for a U.S. government-coordinated evacuation of U.S. citizens at this time."
"For more than 15 years, the State Department has been advising U.S. citizens to defer travel to Yemen, and we’ve been advising those U.S. citizens who are in Yemen to depart," said State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke last week.

Somebody pls explain to me why Russian navy ship evacuate americans from Yemen? Where is US Navy?

According to a statementon the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the acknowledgement from Kerry came in the course of a telephone call in which the two sides discussed a range of pressing international issues, including the agreement reached regarding Iran's nuclear program, and the Syrian crisis.

Another Aircraft Evacuating People From Yemen Lands in Moscow RegionThe British Foreign Office likewise thanked Russia for assistance in evacuating its citizens from the country on Monday, having advised that "the British government can’t provide any form of assisted departure to British nationals in Yemen."
A UK Foreign Office spokesperson said on Monday, "we can confirm that six British nationals left Yemen at the weekend on a Russian Navy vessel. We thank the Russian authorities for their assistance."

US, Ukraine, EU and UK citizens evacuated from #Yemenby Russian Navy. People can rely on #Russiawhen in need. pic.twitter.com/9HDa0fRnLN— Alexander Yakovenko (@Amb_Yakovenko) April 13, 2015

The above tweet is from the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the United Kingdom, Alexander Yakovenko.

Last week 41 American citizens stranded in Yemen filed a federal lawsuit against the State Department and Defense Department for their refusal to evacuate them from Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition, with the backing of the US government, has been carrying out air strikes on Houthi-controlled targets since March 26.
"Despite the clear danger to Americans in Yemen – and the death of at least one American – the Obama administration has not yet taken any substantive steps to help citizens or permanent residents reach safety," reads the court filing.

Running away from a cop do not represent a threat to the life of the cop. There was ZERO threat to that cop and he shot the guy in the back with 8 Bullets. ANYONE trying to justify that is a DEVIL.

May the God of truth reward you for your factual stance. It is regretably pathetic that some persons can't even accept a fact base on the way it is. Very pathetic.

This war will lead to something else.

CyrusXandria:
Putin and his predator instincts.

I wonder what he gets in returns from giving the Islamic republic of Iran an early Christmas gift.

As usual,we shall and see.

In return, He gets some good amount of money, a boost in reliability and trustworthyness from prospective buyers and business partners in the committee of nations, and atleast, a balance in the Middle East geopolitical game of hide and seek, then with the ''Middle finger'' up to the US and Co gang up against the Bear in the wake of the Ukraine crisis.

That is what the Master got from this Deal.

IbnSultaan:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has opened the
way for Russia's delivery of a sophisticated air
defence S-300 missile system to Iran, a move that
would significantly bolster Tehran's military
capability.
The S-300 missile system, which has a range of up
to 200km and the capability to track down and
strike multiple targets simultaneously, is one of the
most potent air defence weapons in the world.

and thats why they are crying like babies.. Geopolitics at its peak. Putin the mosquito buzzing westeen ears..

Chess master,Messr Vladimir Putin! Just when it is least expected in the West, the unpredictable grandmaster has pushed back against western sanctions in its own way.
I wonder why the US and Co are now crying foul to high heavens. They simply have forgotten that There is always a way to get back at sanctions and enemies.

Game on...

A turn around in the Power Sector is always imminent, but the fear of government unenviable record in mismanagement, ditto radiation, should be the begining of wisdom to all well meaning nigerians.
It would be better to have a continue epileptic power supply than a possible nuclear leakage with radiation curculating against a defenceless people.

All the same, God will help us.

So much for talks of human rights, freedom and equality in the US. Racial profiling and segegration is now the main theme of ''justice'' in the United States of death.

I wont be surprise should the ''white god'' police officer is found 'not indictable,' and gets away with the murder. After all, Gardner and Brown's cases are not different.

Pathetic!

thoth:
Do Americans really care ? There is the first place I saw people living on the streets like mad people when they are not actually mad, such sights are still to be seen in my country, the first I heard someone went to Jail for collecting rain water from his roof, cus a certain Company has PRIVATIZED ALL THE RAIN !!

they don't really care .

Exactly! They dont realy care. The heigtht of insanity!

Hacking is common to both sides of the game. But the truth is. No one is king of the jungle when it comes to hacking. Even some naija bad guys can fare better in hacking. Provided one have the inate ability and the favorable environ to work in.. Na man breain do computer securities, and na d same brain still they brake am so..

What a marvellous and powerful piece of writing.

Yeah, its no longer news that the USA as we know it, is, like every other empire, slumping to its knees. And how can you tell? Well, this could help:

thirty-six sure-fire indicators that your empire is falling apart:

You know your empire’s crumbling when the folks who are gearing up their empire to replace yours start blowing up satellites in space. And then they don’t bother to return your phone calls when you ring up to ask why.

You know your empire’s crumbling when just about your entire military land force is tied up in a worse-than-useless war launched on the basis of complete fabrications, that every day is actually making you less – not more – secure from external threat.

You know your empire’s crumbling when almost half the soldiers in that war are high-paid mercenaries, and you don’t dare institute a draft.

You know your empire’s crumbling when you send soldiers into war with two weeks training and a lack of armor, and then you keep them there for three, four and five rotations.

Both sides are guilty of propaganda but i get your point thou. I actually believe the SU 24 story myself until i read that it wasnt really true on a pro Russian forum and the link a gave you (good website actually you can see a lot of Russian stuffs there from military to culture etc)

As for the lack of response to the Russian buzz, I think (but not sure) the story stated that the plane was clearly not armed and since it doesn't have an internal weapons pod, The crew probably saw that it was just a deliberate troll and we have to keep in mind that it is the black sea too (Russia's swimming pool) so there must be restraint in every response. We can speculate different scenarios

Correct! Propaganda is the cloud trying to veil the eyes of our understanding and sense or ability to seive the fact from the conoting mist of propability, in a given event or situation. It has never been easy.

Yeah. Like i said, thats a very good link you provided, and permit me to again say, thank you!

On the Yankees non-response towards the Su-24, i think your thoughts are quite plausible. Howbeit, i still feel that something aside ''buzzing'' might have happened that we are not been told. But like you said, we can speculate on different scenarios, and yet, never get to the actual buttom of the truth. On this note, i am keeping my fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, i want to use this medium to thank you for the good work you are doing over here, especially as it relate to your level of analytical prowess that you have shown so far accross this forum. I particularly like your reply to a certain poster on this thread who myopically opined that Russia's input in the technological front is Zero. Your postulations cited with facts as it relate to Cultural background and the Unbriddled effect of communism, effectively scored home your thesis, in so much that, i need not post any reply to our misinformed brother.

Am glad that we have people like you, and the likes of Sir Shymexx, NairaMinted, etc, here on this
'' free barrack'' ccalled Nairaland..


Keep the light illuminating.

Stay well.

The USS Donald cook story was just an internet rumor that was pick up by Putin fan boys. No truth in it

http://in.rbth.com/economics/2015/02/16/blind_and_conquer_top_5_russian_radio_electronic_warfare_systems_41393.html

It is imperative that i thank you for this link. I have been looking for such that contains infos on Russian electronics capabilities.

Now, i percieve that what informed your opinion that the USS ship jamming claim was not true, could be as a result of the fact that the Khibiny jammer was not officialy stated as deployed on the Su-24 type of bombers (as evident in the link you posted above.) If thats the case, i must admit you just nailed home your point.

However, looking at it from another angle, not withstanding the West's habit of non reporting or 'doctoring' of the actual as it relate to such events that does'nt fit their 'mapped out' naratives and objectivity, many tends to follow the line of most of these alternative media bodies (the likes of which you called Putin fan boys, though many of them are actually truthseekers, or ''middle seaters,'' not actually Putin's fan boys) because, unlike most of the Corporate Main Stream Media, most are privately independent from States under cover control and blind reporting.

And when you take into consideration the fact that the US openly complained in the wake of the event that took place between the USS Cook and the Russian jet, one would see that certain facts conote some questions, which in turn, beg for answers.
For instance, this is'nt the first time this type of thing is happening at sea, and NEVER were
the CREW on board on such any encounter with Russia planes ''EVER BEEN DEMORALIZED.'' (though this also has been debunk as false)
But for the plane to make not just 1, 2 or 3 (at the most) simulation passes, but A WHOLE 12 in a row, and the Yankees did nothing about it? Except you wana say they were ENJOYING THE SHOW. And come to think of it, since when did a Russian pilot develop ''Mike Tyson's ball'' of steel that gave him the ''audacity'' to make TWELVE buzzing simulation fly-pass attack on a US formidable ship as this? is the pilot on drugs or an alien? (just wondering aloud.)
And the fact that the US complained aloud (when this is nothing new to them,) and where even ''forced'' to ''Mentained'' that the Donald Cook was more than ''capable'' to ''defend'' itself, speaks volume of what actually transpired over there.(who asked Warren if the ship can or can't defend itself?) Plus the fact that, Since that incident, which the Atlanticist media have carefully covered up (not even a mention of the encounter, let alone the jamming theory on most MSM headlines) despite the widespread reactions sparked among defense industry experts, no US ship has ever approached Russian territorial waters again. I dont know if this has changed, though.

Now, on the question whether the Su-24 was fitted with the khibiny device, i can't realy confirm that becuase, the Russians at times could be shrewed and very secrective when they want to be, especially on matters as this.
Not withstanding though, the Su-24 along with the Su-35, and Su-30, was use in the Buriyata training where the Khiniby was attached to some of d planes, and it is possible that it was also attached to the Su-24. (honestly, i cant confirm it)

One thingTthough, is that the Su 24 is actually a rather old, in terms of combat aircraft, plane that has been modified to perform electronic intelligence missions (Elint) and obviously is quite good at it. Hence, the possibility that it actually occurred.

Though, am not taking this line . Hook and sinker, the position of the alternate media, and even my own postulations, because i also maybe wrong, neither will i simply dismiss this nor believe the US own account, knowing how terrific they are when it comes to telling LIES.

A war with Russia and China will be catastrophic yes but Americans are not Arabs, they know how to fight! The Russians and the Chinese will not want a direct confrontation was well.

Yes! It is true they know how to fight. But when you purposely target civilian population and bombed them into oblivion, or in the name of a strategy called ''chaos,'' is indeed, a way to fight. Am still wondering how they can fight real targets by the time they have no more buildings or villages to anihilate. Little wonder they usually struggled whenever they put boots on the ground.
So much for a ''chaotic strategy.''

US conventional strength is far superior and both nations as still trying to catch up.

yes, but only in numbers. I still believe there is hardly anything the US have the Russians dont have. The difference being in numbers. And what they lack in numbers, they have made up for in advancement in other areas. For instance, the US have alot way ahead in fleet carriers, but Russia counters with missiles and Jamming devices.

Missy89:
appleyard,

Too many half truths in your posts.

The Russian plane that buzzed USS donald cook did not jam the Ageis system. That was a hoax made up by the Russian press.

Will deal with the other half truths later

A Russian forum hoax,@missy? Alright, what is your source on this?
Half truths you said... Alright, bring them on. We are learning everyday.. I will be waiting...

Thanks!

What else do you expect from Satanists?
Dont he know the road to Russia? Better still, he should take permission and cross over to hell and seek the advice of Hitler and Napoleon...

I bet you, even Satan himself would be amaze at the level of ignorant and stupidity of this warmongering son of a gun!

Thousands of people that looked like you were facing the scourge of Ebola just recently, Russia was no where in sight. It never shows up for anything outside of its boarders especially when it comes to rendering assistance. Any wonder why they have very little clout elsewhere besides when it comes to talking about nuclear weapons?

You are dead wrong! Because, during the rampaging chaotic period of the Ebola epidemic, Russia, like most other well meaning nations, fully supported a UN Resolution 2177 aimed at curtailing, if not eradicating, the virus, and thus, provided financial support to some of the most affected areas.
The Russian Federation for instance, contributed bilaterally and multilaterally, financing medical modules through WHO to treat 60,000 people. A specialist Russian anti-epidemic brigade had been deployed to Guinea, which was assisting the Health Ministry by building and equipping treatment centres and in organizing activities to stem the epidemic and diagnose the virus. Personal protection equipment were also dispatched for health-care volunteers, as well as food assistance given to the three most affected countries. The virus was being studied in the Russian Federation, with trials for treatment, and supply laboratories were evident in the area of the outbreak, such as in Guinea.

http://m.rbth.com/news/2015/01/17/russia_opens_ebola_center_in_guinea_42952.html

If these are not help enough, i wonder what else could amount to help in your own view.

And you willfully or say, unknowingly, refrained from mentioning that, at the first instance, when nations were busy gearing up to render the little help they could muster, your ''United State of Thieves'' was busy deploying some few troops to Liberia and Sierre leone, (to shoot Ebola, right? Or simply to secure the Diamond interest. Hm?)
Neither did you notice or refused to believe that the same US refused to help your own Nigeria with their Ebola trial vaccine, for no good reasons. But when the same virus paid the US a ''courtsey call'' of death, they shamelessly rushed down to Nigeria to study how we were able to tackle and defeat the Virus..

Very pathetic!

Considering how Russia treats the handful of black people that lives there today, I can only shudder to think about what they will do if they had close to 40 million black people living in their country. One will think that should matter to an [url]Afro-pean[/url], but carry on, I don't want to interrupt you from drooling over Putin as Russia can do no wrong.

Yes! Some, if not Most part of Russia, are very unfriendly and dangerous towards black people. But what difference does it make? Racism is a universal issue, though more extreme in some places when comepared with others. And come to think of it; blacks that are suppose to be 'bonafide' citizens in the US of A, are being killed right, left and centre, by security operatives of white origin , stemming from racial profiling, segregation and Class-i-fi-cation.

We all know that the US justice system is a Class-based system.

Hence, its less or more a matter of the pot calling the kettle black.

SirShymexx:
Yanks are brawns - and they make too many boneheaded mistakes during wars. Coupled with the type of training their marines get and it all about shooting everything in sight. Their soldiers also always lose morale so easily when the going gets tough and start panicking. Their doctrine is also very watery and dependent on heavy weapons.

The UK saved their ar.ses during both the Gulf and Balkan wars. Their only adventure without Europe in Vietnam ended in a disaster, with mofos crying everywhere.

You can say that again.. The yanks prefers bombing from afar, but whatever successes they have recorded on that scale, is limited, not just only to a strong air projective capability, but to a very large extent, the inferiority of the opponent that is on the recieving end, especially when such nations/opponents did not recieve equal or better armament from another superior nation on par with the US, to atleast, curtail or balance the equation, or create a fair playing-ground, even if it does'nt ensure victory at the end.

Take for instance the Soviet covert help for the Vietnamese, and the result was that the Yanks got beaten right, left and centre. The favour was also returned by the yanks during the Soviet vs Afghan war..

However, the over reliance of the US on larger weapons and air power, is the greatest factor limiting its capability. Take that out, and you would have a whimpering US army whose ground troops specialty is only to shoot at anything that moves, be it babies, women, and even animals...
The Vietnamese were able to disrupt US air power, and we all know what happened after that.

And now, faced with a Russian and Chinese powerful air defence systems,(not forgeting the S300, S400 and now, S500 air defence systems that is sending shivers down the spine of Isreal and the US, on possible supply to Syria and Iran) one wonder what they can do with their ground forces against a Russian and say, Chinese ground troops, that over time, have proved to be very skilled, formidable and better motivated on 'Earth wars'.


On the navy front-- dont even go there.. Its been reported that Russia now have attached to its balistic missiles a new capability that supposely renders useless the Aegis Defence System installed on all American fleight carriers and ships. Infact, there was a time when a Russian bomber capped with this said capability apprached the US navy ship(name forgotten now) and disabled the much touted Aegis system, meaning, it simply could have blown it to shreds. Not to mention the fact that the US Navy have confessed that they can't even detect and track most of Russia sub-marines, which they dubbed as ''black holes''. Yet, the Russians say they are not enough and are rolling out new ones that are designed to be more 'invisible' when submerge..

On this note, the yankees stand little chance of success in a conventional ground, but i can bet my money on them once it involves ''chaos'' and outright war crimes..
You may want to ask the thousands of thousands of women, children, papas and mamas, even dogs and fowls, targeted and murdered in cold blood, and of course, civilian houses and hospitals, etc, that were intentionaly bombed and gased up in places like Panama, Iraq, Vietnam, Serbia etc... And now, Ukraine..

The only problem is that, DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES...and so you may find no one to ask, except some of the veterans that returns home and later spill the beans, as they could no longer grabble with their nagging and accusing conscience..

Those who are underestimating Russia militarily are doing so to their own peril..

[quote author=SirShymexx post=31967954]

You mean the same country that had to wait for the Soviets to destroy over 90% of Nazi's army before joining the 2nd world war would get so brazen to fight a country where no invader has succeeded in modern era, especially one with more than enough capabilities to destroy the planet, in Europe conventionally?

That is it, Sir Shymexx. Some folks still thinks that the US would win a conventional war with Russia, not to mention a nuclear one. No thanks to Hollywood-brainwashing machine, and CIA control-Main Stream Media. Most have forgotten that both nations are almost equal on all fronts in the conventional sense, with new weapons rolling out everyday. Not to mention that a conventional war between US and Russia is most unlikely, thus leaving the nuclear option, for which you and I know who is on the lead. And we have'nt even mention secret weapons that can manipulate weather and cause artificial natural disasters (stomberger stated this in his prophecy on world war 3. And You can guess who have them).

The fact that the US had recorded success in wars but mostly against hapless or overly inferior nations like Nicaragua, Panama, Iraq, Libya , etc, has made some of these folks ( some, out of genuin reasons, and for others, is simply out of zombification) believed in, and dream about a US/NATO anihilation of Russia-the biblical Gog. It is only when those secret weapons and nuclear bombs will start to drop, that they would wake out of their SICK DREAM. Just that by then, it may be too late.. For Russia is here to stay, even unto the end of days..

The US military also lack a lot of capabilities - and it needs Europe for most of it. However, most European countries aren't even militarily strong at the moment - apart from the UK to an extent, and maybe France. A scathing expose came out about German military last month - don't bet ya money on the Germans cos their military is almost in comatose right now. The rest of Europe sucks.

The whole tank movement is just unnecessary posturing from the yanks to militarise Europe - they're not brave enough. They know they have a better chance taking on China right now, than Russia. Even that is never going to happen.

The Europe (most especially the EU) that will know is a continent 'endowed' with zombified leaders who are readily willing to propagate US imperial interest, even to the detriment of its own people and security. Germany, for instance, is a US colony, and so do most members of the EU that have US puppets as their national leaders.
I have never seen a body that is so politicaly myopic as the EU, because once the bombs starts to fly, it then would be too late that they (the EU) have helped in creating a scenario of unprecedented proportionate repercussion. It is Europe that would suffer most from the event of a nuclear holocaust, the outcome of which even the likes of Stromberger, Johansson, Nostradimus, William Braham, Rick Joyner etc (in their respective prophectic utterances on the destruction of America-world war 3,) could not find enough words to describe it.
No thanks to the pathetic thinking faculties of Europe's ruling 1%ters elites, and coupled with the sinful and abominable state of evil mankind has degenerated into.

America and Europe in focus. The centre of all evil. I weep for Europe.

As for US movement of tanks to the baltics and other parts of Europe, it makes no difference, nor can it serve as a game changer. Just like what the Russian Defence Minister said,
'' we would take care of that with ONE misile'' (refering to the US shield and weapon platforms in Poland and Co).
In short, i can almost feel the agonising ghosts of Hitler and Napoleon exclainming from hell
'' no no, back, backkkkkkk...''!!!! as they try desperately to get theit message accross to the craze goons in the White house, just if only they could come back from the dead, even for two minutes..

But it appears it is too late..

Prophecies must be fulfilled..

World war 3 will surely occur, and one thing is certain..

THE UNITED STATE WILL BE DESTROYED!

However, the main question is, having befor hand know all these, how are we prepare for the SECOND COMING OF THE SON OF MAN?

Niwdog:
In russia voice "i don't care whom you(usa) are.
Bring it on"

You can say that again... For those who think that the US cwould win a Nuclear war with Russia, must have under estimated or at all, not aware of the spiritual conotations or the cosmic orderliness of these events, and the outcome therefrom..

Please, lets take note of these prophetic utterances as they relate to the much anticipated 3rd world war:

Also consider the Stromberger's prophecy, yohan Johassen's prophecy, known for their accuracies in predition of global events.
and many more... America is on its way to fulfilling this prophecies. A journey that would leave it permanently devastated.

Thanks brother. God bless you. Hollywood is part of US propaganda to make people think they are superior to any other nations.......... The last thing USA will likely do is to fight Russia even with coalition forces.

Exactly, brother. There is no other machine that can boast of the brainwashing ability of Hollywood, the medium by which the Russians are depicted as 'aggressors,' the Chinese as 'enslavers,' the Indians as 'bush people,' the Italians as 'Mafias,' the Africans as 'slaves and primitive people,' the Arabs as 'Terrorists,' the English as 'good colonialist,' and of course, the United State as 'the messaiahnic and perfect nation' that saves the day.

When in reality, the only terrorist nation and cancer in the world, is THE UNITED STATE OF SATAN (oh, sorry, America).

Thus, when some persons mindset , sense of conception and perceptional ability, revolves around this image (hollywood) of Satan, their thinking faculties becomes clouded with misleading beliefs and deceptive wonders, having given away their ''attentive souls'' stemming from being 'glued' to that cursed box called 'TV'. And hence, they have become and are still becoming the ''zombified ones,'' having lost virtually every sense of reasoning and judgemental uprightness, as it relate to the occurrence of global events and the real facts behind them.
No thanks to the glamourous and extravagant life style of the people.(as strategically determine by the powers)

''keep the people occupied with the cares of life, let them have the best, live they way they wanted, let desires spread, let them feel they can live for ever..'' and then, we can have their SOULS..''

such is the underlying agenda of Satan perfectly ochestrated by the Occultic Elites and their hegemonic quest to take over the world in line with THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

At such, you have the zombification still recording success at all levels. But thanks be to God, there is always a remnant reserved that can never be zombified.... You and I and others out there are examples of such..

And we all must strive for this truth that has been delivered unto us.. For THE TRUTH IS TREASON IN THE EMPIRE OF LIES..

no you are confused....... Russia cannot challenge any one of those countries.....individually or together....all have nuclear weapons n even if u remove dat, der conventional forces will annihilate Russia....Russia was defeated by Afghanistan........but Afghanistan did not last one month b4falling to the USA...

wow! A Taliban-led Afghan that virtually have no air defense against US/NATO air superiority? Is even outstanding that they held up to, like you said, that long, given the disparity in the level of armaments and man power on all fronts.

Yes! Afghan defeated Russia back then, because of 'the collective will' of the people. Will-power and a ''consensus ad idem'' is what primarily wins a war. This was what entailed in the Afghan/Russian war (where collective will prevailed) and the Afghan/US-NATO war (no people's backing for the government). Unlike the Vietnam war, where the US was resoundly beaten, right, left and centre. That is the power of collectivism as it relate to will-power, though subject to the determinate consent of the cosmic order and rules. That is, the concept of spiritualism.

And please, stop watching Hollywood. There is hardly any weapon the US/NATO have that Russia does'nt have. So wake up from that dream. The US can not ''anihilate'' Russia conventionally. Even themselves know it. For in the book of war, NO ONE HAS EVER MARCHED AGAINST MOSCOW AND CAME BACK THE SAME.

You may want to ask Hitler and Napoleon.

Therefore, brother, wake up, its a SICK DREAM!

America is not in crimea or Ukraine...no need 4 google...

Neither is Russia in Ukraine. And as for Crimea, it has always been Russia, and so overwhelmingly voted to return home.

You won't google, becaise you would'nt want to confront the stark reality that would confront you. Hence, ''no need for google.''

yuncka:
There are atom of truth in what U say, but on another angel d blacks are putting themselves in the present predicament. Many CCTV footage of crime, have majority of blacks as the culprits.

CCTV, yeah. But that does'not justify the blatant killings of blacks that cant even get justice from the ''criminal'' courts . But when the victim is a white, the outcome mostly is different in both cases of police handling and the courts willingness to entertain such issues.

The US justice system is a ''Class -Racial based'' system. The much touted equality before the law, is only a theory in abstract imagination and deceptive conception.

Some animals are, and would always, be More Equal Than Others.
