America needs Russia more but their foolish ego and post cold war arrogance wont let them. I am more on Moon of Alabama dot org now, where intelligent people talk devoid of insults. Orban just said the war will take a long time and they are already feeling the consequences of the nonsense sanctions.

Fear of Russia...Ukraine should tell you that nobody fears Russia! Ogbeni dont turn logic on its head so you can sleep better at night...bro Putin aint buying this your incongruous logic.
last time I checked Russia was still occupying Ukraine with less than 15% of their forces even without declarating war and almost ten million Ukrainians have ran out of their country while Russians are still living normal life in Russia. So what exactly is Ukraine supposed to teach me?

Dude, I don’t read trash western propaganda. They just project their thoughts on the guy and his plans.

Find me a direct quote from Putin. All his speeches leading up to the invasion, invasion speech and weekly wartime speeches are on YouTube with translations and he never said that crap.

No one knows what that man and Russians are thinking and their plans.

Winston Churchill said it best when he said: “Russia is a riddle wrapped in an enigma”. You never know what they’re thinking unless they say it and even when they say it - there’s always a lot of misdirections and feints. You only go with what Russians do. That’s why they’re excellent poets, mathematicians and physicists.

Everything you read on MSM is just propaganda until you see Russian doing it. That’s why NATO is scared of Russia.

why would Russia attack NATO normally? Have you ever heard Russians trying to create labs at USA border? It's USA that's just try to create conflicts. A war between Russia and NATO will never happen USA are just trying to make money while sacrificing Ukrainians

Extremely silly. These nearby countries will face the fate of Ukraine is there is a war. Attacking them will be so easy. With what is going on, Russia will triple its weapon production. Waiting for the evil day when it is banter for banter.

LoL. "Russia will triple it's weapon production". With what? The Russia economy has taken a fatal hit. And even before the invasion, how much is Russia military budget? Combine China and Russia military budget, it's still not near that of the US.

US is NATO, get it right and they are making a statement big time. Do you know how much they have sunk into the war? Can Russia do that for any nation; my friend they don't have the money to do it. Russia is defeated and tired already, get it right. Their military weaknesses have been exposed. Do you know California or Texas alone is richer than Russia. US is bigger than you think in every area.

Oh lest I forget, your darling Russia is also leading a security alliance known as CSTO. Guess who the members are -Bekarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Krygyzstan and Tajikistan. Jokers. Lol

Is there any reason for the West to invade Russia when in fact Russia could be easily destroyed pain free without confrontation or firing a single bullet?

War is not always about gra gra and boasting, the lesson is playing out as we speak on the battlefield, Russia can not defeat Ukraine, but you still want us to believe they can destroy Ukraine in a week, something that they can not even achieve after destroying towns and cities who to me is madness and frustration, not military strategy.

Ukraine is at the Russian border as we speak, Russian prized warship is at the bottom of the black sea, 12 generals are dead, 40 colonels are dead, countless military hardware including tanks, jets, helicopters, command and control structures are destroyed and so on so when is Russia going to destroy Ukraine?

Small country like Ukraine shouldn't be inflicting so much pain and damage on a supposedly called superpower.

So you want us to give Russia another week to achieve that objective?

Abeg leave these guys and their complicit illusion . . . don't spoil their daydream . . . they operate with emotions/sentiments; not facts.

Lol, judging economy based on GDP is the most flawed metric out there. Even the greatest economists will tell you that.

Nigeria has the biggest GDP based economy in Africa but it’s one of the poorest countries on the continent. The US has the biggest economy in the world but its economy isn’t as healthy as China and Russia’s and might enter depression next year.

Russia and Germany are the only true big boys in Europe - the rest just look big based on inflated GDP numbers. And Russia is the richest country in the world in terms of resources.

The only problem here is, you don't have the education to distinguish between GDP Real, GDP nominal, GDP PPP, and GDP per Capita.

This is why it's waste of time doing back and forths with random folks online.

There you have it, sir.

Do not forget, that figure you are seeing is in BILLIONS US Dollars. This means Russia plus China is not up to half of the US military budget. US is the true definition of a BEAST!. Know, understand and respect the beast you are toying with!!

this one dn watch Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, come dey think say you can shut down ICBM by hacking it when no be you fire am.
If you did bother to read about what you claim you know, you'd know the controls and firing mechanism of ICBM are analogy not digital to save them from EMP explosion.
This implies that unless you can hit the bunker where the nuke is stored and manage to destroy the fire mechanism, chance of a counter strike is very high.


Whats that thing in space that guides a nuclear missile to hit its target. When you are ready i will school you.

Britain don sign deal with Finland as security guarantee. It is even doubtful that the Finns need it since their army is well trained, very well armed and they have a staggering amount of artillery.

Russia is barely hanging on in Ukraine. You think they can try to open a second front against Sweden and Finland? �

You speak like a novice over 1000 nuclear missiles can be launched at once by Russia and even the USA. What will be the difference is who gets hitted first and who has countermeasures against it. The only countermeasures against a nuclear missile in flight is to disarm the nuclear warhead it via satellite hacking when that happens there will be no nuclear explosion when nuclear missile gets to its destination. Russia has military grade hackers same with the USA.
you can't hack a nuke

I’m more educated than everyone in your bloodline combined.

GDP real, GDP nominal, GDP (PPP), GDP per capita are all just academic crap that aren’t cognisant of a lot of other factors, including the country’s total debt profile. These things neither measure true wealth nor wealth distribution - they’re useful for business activity and the currency in circulation.

A country like America with huge GDP per capita and GDP (PPP) doesn’t really translate to the standard of living for the average American since the top 1% controls 90% of the wealth. And it’s the same for all countries in Europe, excluding Scandinavian countries.

Whichever GDP you picked - it’s still very flawed. The true wealth of a country is measured by resources in context of population size and self-sustainability.
