dermmy: Get your facts right. Russia ordered the Mistral ships because back then their ship building yards were signed up to the brim on long-term civilian and other military contracts. The Soviet Union from which Russia emerged was a renowned carrier building superpower. Same tech know-how resided with Russia as the successor state. The Sevastopol and Vladivostok are just two examples of Russia's current self-built helicopter carriers after the Mistral deal was axed by France. The fact is, everyone at some point buys one or two things from others because somethings are cheaper when you're buying than when you're building. Examples are chips. Plus you may not have all the time needed to get somethings ready. Even the US buys some armament from other nations. Not that they don't have the technical know-how but it's cheaper buying than producing it, plus the time factor vs it's strategic need. The war in Ukraine will definitely have its toll on Russia's military modernization, but at the same time, it will help speed it up in a way. Already, the Russians are now mastering the act of self-depedence, thanks to its ability to adapt to different scenarios, which is where the west greatly miscalculated Russia. The longer this war gets, the stronger and more resilient Russia would become. Just look around you and see the numbers of nations aligning around them since the war began. Normally, when the west places sanctions, you would have expected majority of the committee of nations to follow suit in helping to enforce the measures. But, on this occasion, many nations are instead aligning with Russia. Including some US traditional allies. That tells you how strong Russia is, and how fast the gllobal geopolitical terrain is changing. The days of the Anglo-imperialist empire always having it their way with their gunboat diplomacy is over. On your last point, I'm sorry you're wrong. While China is fast rising Economically, it's still far behind in terms of military and technological capability. Majority of their tech are either copied from others or gotten directly from Russia, eg, their carrier building tech, space and nuclear capability. Yes, China is rising but it will take another 3 decades for them to catch up to the level the US and Russia has ascended. And while they're rising fast to catch up (they have the economic power to bridge this gap rapidly), the rest are not sitting idly waiting for them to catch-up. That said, this war isn't good for anybody. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Gbadebo19: Truth is, aircraft carriers are obsolete with the emergency of new age weapons. You don't even need to sink them. Just destroy the run way and they're useless as they can be. The only reason some nations are still investing on them is because they give you the power of projection and sense of "reach", but that too is dependent on the opponent. If you go up against third-world nations like Iraq or Nigeria, you can swarm their airspace with your planes flying from your carrier far away in the middle of the sea close to the enemy territorial waters. But if you go out against a worthy opponent with classic missile and submarine technology, your carrier will just be a big phat target. It will never make it. The US knows this from multiple wargames they have played with fellow NATO states in which their aircraft carriers were destroyed many times. The funniest one was a French 30-year old submarine sinking the US Theodore Carrier some years ago, and the most recent one was a Swedish submarine taking out another US carrier during one exercise. Carriers are great symbols of power but in this age of new flying hypersonic shovels and stealth submarine technology, they're just seating duck. 11 Likes 1 Share |

stanluiz:I think the UK will be legally forced to give the money back at some point. I don't see how international legal system can survive if some countries are allowed to just go into the accounts of people based on the nationality of the people and take their money and give it to someone else. The UK has always been a thieving nation, even the Oba's bronzes are still in the British museum where the British still pride themselves on how good they were at taking other people's property without consent. But today, British old tactics will not survive, and one day they will reconcile with Russia, and then Ibrahimovic will be asking for his money back. 9 Likes |

⚡President Biden says threat of Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is 'real' President Joe Biden said on Monday the threat of 🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is "real", days after denouncing Russia's deployment of such weapons in Belarus. On Saturday, Biden called Putin's announcement that Russia had deployed its first tactical nuclear weapons to 🇧🇾 Belarus "absolutely irresponsible". "When I was out here about two years ago saying I worried about the Colorado river drying up, everybody looked at me like I was crazy," Biden told a group of donors in 🇺🇸 California on Monday. "They looked at me like when I said I worry about Putin using tactical nuclear weapons. It's real," Biden said. 2 Shares
