There's nothing special about Russia. The west is just afraid of their nukes.

Without those nukes, there's nothing special about the Russia military. Hitler and his tiny Germany invaded them in WW2 when they were still solvet union and about 10 times the size of Germany; and almost succeeded if not for the Russian winter and logistics problems.

NATO can take on Russia in an invasion warfare but if Russia decides to deploy their nukes on American and British cities, the tide of the battle would change, cos no one is ready to gamble millions of lives of her citizens over a war that could have been avoided.

This is what America and her allies are afraid of.

I dont think so. I think the US would love to use an middle east for the war undecided

Nonsense!

This is one cowardly soldier probably working for the Russians.

If not for Truman, George Patton and Douglas MacArthur were ready to take on the Russians during WWII.

In fact, Patton once said if he found himself between the Germans and Russians, he would shoot both ways... grin

This Scott Ritter is the kind of person that allowed Russia to build a nuke in the first instance just because they wanted the war to end quick. Russia should NEVER have been allowed to have nukes!!
Go and stop them nau. Clown

This is not true when it comes to war Russia is a beast entirely. The wwll battle was more of strategy and when it comes to war anywhere it is about strategy. During the war Russia planned and executed and reclaimed the island it lost to Japan in 1905 in the Russo-japanesse war. The mongols and ghenis Khan , Napoleon of France and The Nazis couldn't defeat Russia that should tell you about there strength militarally. Its a powerful military nation. They may have issues due to bad leadership but they don't joke with there military.

What do you mean by the bolded? Are you in anyway suggesting that PUTIN is a bad leader? angry

Thank you very much...

You get better sense.

Unlike Putin's Nairaland Separatists that are calling NATO weak because they refuse to engage directly with Russia.

Some of them are even calling for Nukes to start flying.

I open threads here mostly on foreign affairs and If you see the comments of some of these Putin's Nairaland Separatists.... E go SHOCK YOU.

Only Putin's Nairaland Separatists wants a full blown war because they believe Russia would remain standing when the Nukes start flying.

Not knowing that There are no winners in a Nuclear War.

Don't believe or trust Americans , they are masters in mind games.

US keep developing dangerous weapons without announcing or making details public.

Remember US annual defence budget is $750m annually while that of Russia is $56m , so what do you think America do with $750m defence budget annually ? Yeah building unclassified weapons.

Till this day no one knows the bomb US used in Hiroshima, not even the Russians can tell.
hahaha lolz, Germans were d first to bring d idea of atomic bomb, and they were already working on how to develope it before allies through a Jewish scientist developed it ok, finally dat atomic bomb is just 4megaton bomb and no longer in USA arsenal, what we have now is THERMONUCLEAR DEVICE aka Hydrogen bomb which cand be delivered through various means, such as ICBM,Submarine and bombers, Nobody will win a THERMONUCLEAR war since ICBM has no defence because it used to travel all over the world than normal missile, atomic bomb of 4 megaton ravaged two japanese cities imagine what THERMONUCLEAR device of 50 megaton which russia possess over 6,000 will do

But the same Putin has threatened that if anyone sent weapons to Ukraine, there would be dare consequences, but even smaller NATO countries like Norway have sent weapons and Putin is yet to to do anything. He also threatened Finland and Sweden that they shouldn't join NATO, put today both nations are on course to become full members of NATO.
You know why US is here to stay, they understand that Unity and alliance makes one stronger. Russia is almost alone except for Dictatorial countries like Iran, North Korea backing them. China is siding Russia just for economic gains and nothing more and they won't waste time ditching them at any slightest opportunity because the US is China's biggest trading partner.
The war going on in Ukraine is uncalled for, look at the number of lives wasted and properties destroy just because of a man's ego and pride.

Shut up

Keep deceiving yourself that this is not a War while your are basking in Russian Propaganda.

It is obvious that your number 6 have been engulfed by the lies emanating from the Kremlin by calling the War crimes been committed in Ukraine as a special military operation..

It is a Special War Crimes Operation

Nobody wants a full blown war ...

Even Putin on his victory day speech said

"we have to do all it takes to avoid the horrors of a global War"

So for Putin's Nairaland Separatists to be calling NATO weak for not engaging with Russia directly is Utter Nonsense.

NATO refused to close the sky when Ukraine called for it because they don't want to start attacking Russia directly.

America has warned Ukraine never to use the long range weapons it has supplied them to attack Russian soil.

Not because NATO is weak.

All this point to the singular fact that America and NATO don't want to engage Russia because:

There are no winners in a Nuclear War that would happen if both sides engage each other.

The P5 members of the United Nations security council know this fact as enshrined in a United Nations Treaty.

But it is Only in Nairaland that you see Putin's Squad calling for Nukes to fly.

Na their village and their Papa farm the Nukes go Land.

Slava Ukraini .... Glory to the Heroes.
Well said but I was only reacting to a fraction of your write up. You asked why Russia couldn't attack Poland if they were so powerful. Now you are here telling me why USA are not attempting to attack. Dem for attack na. Make we see who truly get the power.

US would not use nukes on Russia cities because of their civilian population, USA has a high respect for human lives, but Putin wouldn't blink twice if the opinion of nuking New York, Texas or California presents Itself regardless of it's high civilian population.

That's the difference between both of them, and that's why the US are threading softly and cautiously. They're more concerned about human lives.

USA has so much respect for Human lives yet they bombed nuked the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan on 6 and 9 August 1945
and of recently yugoslavia, Iraq, Afganistan, libya, somalia, to name a few...where is the respect for human lives?

Rusian has been shying away from bombing civilian population despite Ukraine using them as human shield..they..Russian..Putin don't want to toe they part of US in that regard! otherwise Ukrainian civilian population cities would be rubbles with dead bodies strewn every where in

You don't need to be told, you should know this by now that US has no respect for human lives where their interest is concened or threatend!

An atomic bomb, by contrast, uses the energy released when a heavy atomic nucleus splits, or fissions, into two lighter nuclei.

Fission weapons are commonly referred to as atomic bombs. Fusion weapons are also referred to as thermonuclear bombs or, more commonly, hydrogen bombs; they are usually defined as nuclear weapons in which at least a portion of the energy is released by nuclear fusion.
The bombings in the two cities were so devastating, they forced Japan to surrender. But a hydrogen bomb has the potential to be 1,000 times more powerful than an atomic bomb, according to several nuclear experts.

Mind u Iraq and Libya was never a full blown war like what Russia declared on Ukraine



SlavaUkraini:


Stop dodging my question...

Poland has opened his borders for Weapons to flow into Ukraine.

Putin should fire a single bullet into Poland or a NATO member country and see whether Article 5 would not be activated for the defeat of his weak army that cannot defeat small Ukraine.

NATO invaded Afghanistan because America was attacked by a useless terrorist.

The Taliban refused to give up that useless terrorist and was sympathetic to his campaign.

The reason America and NATO Allies pulled out of Afghanistan was because they (The Taliban) have vowed never to harbor again any terrorist that poses a treat to the US or their allies.


NOTE : I don't support every campaign of NATO or the US.

I never supported the Invasion of Iraq or Libya because the argument and evidence the West presented were baseless.

War Crimes were committed in those nations and the West should be held accountable for them.

Oga stop this on line, it was the effort of the US that ended WWII. Hitler would have won that war without the interference of the US army. If Russia challenges NATO, it will be a disaster for Russia because the attack will be coordinating from all angles, land, sea and air. Don't think that most of these NATO countries don't have air defense. Russia will be confused because they will be attacked from all angles. Mind you NATO countries, France, UK, Germany...etc. Make una think small shaa

You elements kept saying Russia is not using her full military might, and that this is not a full blown war etc...
What else can be call full blown war?
Russia is using cluster bombs..
Russia is using cruise missile with strategic bombers, phosphorus mutations etc.

Russia have so far have used everything it has in the arsenal.

The only thing they have not used is nerve/saline gas, atomic and nuclear bombs.


Be there be thinking Russia is super power and can take on NATO.

Chechens, Syrians and Hezbollah both are fighting for Russia in Ukraine.
