first, the war won't be a serious one until it becomes a full scale war. Once it becomes a full scale war. US will have no choice than to take out the commands (Putin and his Generals). And they already know where they're all based as they watch them from space every minute. The US believe in the strategy of taking out the leader (head) of any terrorist gang. Germany ended their war because Hitler killed himself. So, it's that simple, once the head of the source of the war is out, the body will be weak. And Russia don't have any defensive system like the Israel's Iron Dome that is powerful enough to take out any US undetectable misile on Russia's command base where Putin is. Trust me, Putin himself don't want any war because he knows who is who that's why he's delaying his strike against Ukrain

Lol! It is obvious you know nothing about world politics and even the military.

War between US & Russia will result in a nuclear war. Both the US & Russia leaders don't need command post. They move around with briefcases. These briefcases can be used to launch nuclear strikes. So both Biden & Puttin can launch Nuclear strike anywhere they are in the world.

Iron dome is designed to neutralise short range cheap rocket. It won't stand a chance against Iranian advance ballistic missile. Israel has other defense system that is designed to neutralise ballistic missile. They called it David's Sling .

If a Nuclear missile is fired from anywhere in the towards Russia. It will be detected by the Russians and they will not hesitate to retaliate.

The US is negotiating with Russia on Ukraine. Biden himself said, he thinks Russia will invade and he has repeatedly threaten to hit Russia with swift & heavy economic sanctions. He also made it clear that the US will not send it combat troops to Ukraine. Antony Blinken was asked the same question yesterday and he said the US is doing it's best. He said, the US has sent high tech military weapon to Ukraine. The West will do everything possible to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia. Russia is the most capable Nuclear State in the world.

War with Russia is suicidal. All the Europeans and US leaders know this.

Chinese economy stronger than the us? Quite sad , being a black, supporting countries who would turn you and other Africans to slaves

I wasn't going to make any comment on this post as I believe a lot of people are arguing in ignorance. However, your own comment made me cringe & I had to reply you in particular. You're speculating about some other random countries 'turning' black folks into slaves & yet you're blindly still supporting the same country/same people that actually in real life kidnapped black people, took them thousands of miles away to new lands and forcefully made them slaves for centuries. It's not those people you distrust o, it's other people who are also defending themselves from the same people that enslaved black people that you trust. You seem like a wise man.

See Russia who couldn't defeat Germany without the help of U.s forces. Who watched as every Other country like Poland, France, belgium, was taken over by hitler. If u.s hadn't intervened in "OPERATION OVERLORD" at midnight June 6 1944, half of Russia would have been under control of Hitler. The rest of Europe would have been nazified. China would still be an annex of Japan, Iran could have been swallowed by Saddam Hussein Iraq. Ungrateful slaves. North Africa had been taken over by Nazis too. Don't worry, u.s. no dey like Sabi talk. Ww1 and ww2 can testify . The pix below was the aircraft the U.s used to drop bomb on Hiroshima in 1945. The name is enola gay. A transparent aircraft, partly made of glass.Till date it's the most beautiful and complete aircraft ever produced by man on planet earth, produced solely for that mossion. It's in the museum. U.s are millions of miles away, forget their conference of some of their short comings. Na to make una think they aren't as powerful as before. the pilot who flew that plane, Paul tibbets died in 2013 or 15, Nagasaki pilot died about 2007, Charles Sweeney

Correct. UK too tried a whole lot in the 2nd world war. In fact it was the problems the Brits gave the German Luftwaffe during the preliminary battles to gain control of the air over Britain that made the Germans postpone operation sea lion planned for the invasion of Britain, and subsequently turned to execute operation barbarossa to invade and conquer the Soviet Union. They almost succeeded too, recording some of the largest military encirclements in history during the war.

If it wasn't for the Soviet factories that were relocated, US lend lease and massive supply of materials to the Soviet Union as well as the recapture of North Africa, the invasion of Sicily and the opening of the western front with the Largest military amphibious landings in history at Normandy mainly by US and Britain (supported by French, Canadian and Australian forces) which effectively split the German forces in two and gave the Russians some breathing space, the war could have ended very differently.

Poor nation?

Can’t you see how they rush to the media after they make a discovery?

How much Russia got for research? How many strong allied share military informations with her? China? lol….

Hello! Their is no way a China and Russia can defeat The United States. They toy soldiers!

I told you earlier doers don’t make noise.

thank you guy. And now it's Germany, US vs Russia, China. Germany seem to be on a revenge mission against the latter two... Lol! This particular war won't last for more than 24 hours if it ever goes into a full scale war as it will cost the lives of the leaders and commanders of the two latter countries (Russia and China).

yeah, I remember British royal air Force efforts, when there was the repeated bombing of Britain, known as blitzkrieg. Brits no gree for them too. Thanks for this information

Remman:
Putin won't strike or start any war. But he has to fake a war strength so as to maintain investors like China, Iraq, etc. because if he quickly retreats at the US warning, he'll loose trust in investors. So, he'll need to be threatening Ukraine until he gets a very good reason to back (run) off. He knows how weak his defensive system is already so he won't dare it.

You don't get the point. The West is scared because they know that they can't protect Ukraine. Ukraine is Russian neighbour. Russia will never allow Ukraine to join NATO. Even if Russia invades Ukraine. The US & allies will dare not attack Russia.

Remman:
you're actually deceived with Russia's outdated tech. To know any powerful nation, go and check their scientists. Presently, the US have the best scientists ever both on earth and in space. That's how you evaluate a country's strength. Just check out Israel's recent wars, that's the US techs. Before China could improve in space programmes, they sent their scientists to NASA. Now, how many Russian companies can build space vehicles like the US' Tesla and Origin and how big are they compared to this two US companies?

US fight with their brain and not with their mouth. And they have a very wicked strategy which is to kill a leader and it's very easy to take out Putin through alien air strike to end the war in minutes if it ever goes into a full scale war. Russia would need to surrender in a short time. To make it worse Germany (Hitler) is behind Ukraine on this. Revengers...!

LOL... When you're done watching your Hollywood movie, wake up to reality & talk factually. Good morning.

You have been brainwashed by western media as regards "greed and laziness" - bbc, cnn, ft, etc all try to sell that africans are greedy and lazy and dull and thats why poor european states of uk, france and US the "hardworkers" have come to "help" - its not true though. You as an african are more powerful than you think.

The fact is that all the empire builder countries are POOR - which is their motivation for empire building not because they are such hard workers - italy, uk, france and us (an empire) are all poor countries who rely on colonization to steal from others - these are not "stronger" countries.

Iran-China-Russia cooperation will put a stop to that. These countries have abundant mineral deposits and hence dont need to steal from others whereas UK, France, Italy etc have next to no mineral deposits.

The Western (Germany, France, UK, Italy, US empire) model of theft is to say that africans are sub-human who cant think for themselves or exploit their resources (false) and hence need western european "help".

Russia, China and Iranian cooperation with Africa is based on mutual respect as equals, win-win relationship in extraction and sale of mineral resources etc

Hope you are not just arguing for argument sake as I aint got time for that....

Fake post. The account of the war with Hitler u are reporting, was the one writing by the west! Have u read the account of Russia on the war? Have u read the account of Germany? U need to wake up. In WW2 Germany had planes that cud conduct midnight bombings. Britain had no single reply or defense against that. They watched helplessly as Germany bombed them silly night after night. Yet to u, the clumsy bomber American used, that needed to be escorted by lighter planes for dog fights was the best plane of the war? Mumu.

You still don't understand what is going on here. Do you think the US will openly say they will respond to any Russian millitary asault on Ukraine with millitary response? Lol. They don't want to be seen as lords. If Russia is as strong as you said, why did they retreat with 10,000 troops out of the 100,000 troops initially sent to the Ukraine's border at US' first warning to them? I don't know on what planet you're getting your analysis from. The Russians know what is at stake already especially now that the Germans are fully behind Ukraine. Trust me, Putin is looking for a very obvious excuse to back off because he knows he has already stepped on toes. But he has to maintain investors they're not fooled by China to go to war with the US because they know China (trap) is nothing in war against the US

Countries with western influence are going backward not forward bro - Mali, Lybia, Syria, Venezuela, South Africa, Canada (a backward 3rd world country actually), etc

Noting that the nations are all above average military wise, victory will be decided by side with the best spies and infiltrated assets and Russia has always been ahead when it comes to infiltration of intelligence agencies of other powers.

I really love the arguments I'm seeing here. Even the ones where people are bringing up wrong and outdated stats. First off, America is a not so great country. The world has changed a lot from WW2, I don't know think they've won a war since then and they didn't win that war alone. Russia did most of the work. You're boasting of America's strength, yet they lost to rice farmers in Vietnam and goat herders that they themselves trained in Afghanistan. The flaws in the US army is becoming more obvious by the day. I wouldn't know who would win in a fight today but my bet would be on russia on the sole reason that US has lots of weak friends/ally e.g France, Germany, Japan etc. And also they have lots of strong enemies who wouldn't mind joining up with russia just to see the US
burn eg North Korea, China, Iran (they all have nuclear arsenal).
There's still much more to say but stop glorifying the US, a nation that couldn't stop an assault on their Capitol building. You don't know how that alone made US a laughing stock to the rest of the world

Someone actually said they'd win Russia in an hour, please if you're that person don't reply to this

No western country can mess with Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps or the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army or Russia's great intelligence and military capabilities. What makes things more interesting now is that African countries are now more aligned with China and Russia who have helped them at the UN Security Council to veto western unfriendly and colonizing acts.

Africa is rising guys!

Like i said earlier you need to devote more time to world politics to understand what is going on better. Are you aware that Germany is against arming Ukraine? Are you aware the German recently refuse to give UK military cargo plane that is taking arms & amunitions to Ukraine access to it air space?

Russia does not want Ukraine to burn. There are millions of Russia speaking people in Ukraine. It is not interested in destroying Ukraine. It doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO. The same way the US will say no to any millitary between Mexico and China.

Maybe u didn’t even see the title of the thread u are commenting in Russia is conducting war games on all the major seas. Does that look like the action of a scared nation?

just look at your flat answer. U s liberated Europe. Where was Russia when Poland, Belgium, Holland, France e.t.c were attacked? Russia only responded when they were attacked in 1941/42. U.s launched ops overlord to liberate Europe. Pls name one country Russia liberated. When all other countries were attacked, Russia were silent because of ribbentrop/ Molotov non aggression pact they signed with Hitler before the war

You actually have not addressed the point or what I said. I repeat: Russia took most of the pain and torture of Nazi wrath in WW2. So much so that Stalin accused the Western Allies of being cowardly at his meeting with Churchill when the latter visited him to firm up their pact. Of course this greatly irritated Churchill's pride but that is neither here nor there. You need to understand that one is by no means taking anything away from the United States. Their contribution was most crucial and certainly decisive on the Western Front. But on the Western Front you had the US, Britain, Canada, Free French Forces along with an assortment of British Empire troops advancing on Germany after D-Day.

On the Eastern Front you had only Russia. The invasion of Russia remains the largest invasion in history. Their fight-back remains the largest fight-back in history. By the time they flooded Berlin they were coming with some two million men and they had lost almost twenty million. The US by contrast sat an ocean away from the scene of battle and was therefore mostly immune to any attack from the enemy owning to the limited technology of the time. Thus it remains true that Russia bore most of the brunt of the war in Europe. This is an indisputable fact. This is also the reason they had the largest territory when Germany was split up after the war.

Head to head today, dont let anyone deceive you: the US is NOT the only country in the world with astonishing military technology any more. War has evolved and there are so many secret weapons the major powers hold which are unknown to the public. A single small country with sufficiently bright and sophisticated hackers can immobilize the entire high-tech weaponry of another power through a simple cyber-attack. So please you have to think deep and wide on matters like this, we are far beyond the days of Rambo defeating entire foreign armies single-handedly in Hollywood movies.

Story. From day one, Hitler knew he was going to attack Russia. Stalin himself knew and made preparations. It is easy to read useless accounts of the war in encyclopedias, the ugly truth however is that the west had secret deals with Hitler which Russia was unaware of. Normandy was almost tail end of the war, by which time, hitler had defeated France and could have obliterated the British third army at Dunkirk! Why didn’t he do it? Why didn’t he bomb France? Why didn’t Hitler cross the English Channel? Forget all the answers you’ve read on these things. The reason was why Russia built the iron curtain and started the Cold War with the west. The west did not help Russia, the reverse is rather the case.

My thoughts exactly. The US greatest weapon is propaganda, even the American citizens themselves know that their military can be rivaled and surpassed.
