Nice try Einstein

I've already seen how this goes.

If i say "no" then you'll brag about how the US can't build nuclear powered icebreakers.

If i say "yes" then you ask "then why haven't they built their own nuclear powered icebreakers".

If i counter with "they have no need for a nuclear powered icebreakers" then you'll retort with "Russia has no need for nuclear powered aircraft carriers".

The ultimate gotcha moment for you.

Oga go and rest. No amount of cope won't ever put Russian low budget navy on par with US Navy. 🇺🇸🚢

Trump on Ukraine:

The pause was for Sunday to Sunday.

It opened up and Putin hit them hard right now.

Putin kept his word on that. One week is a lot, we will take anything. pic.twitter.com/VAYKRPBxd3

Sounds like you're indirectly agreeing that Russian ships are not that sophisticated.

They are probably even less sophisticated than Turkish ships.

WriterrNg:
Russia get more ships and specialized vessels but dem go wan dey use tonnage confuse gullible ones.

Wetin concern weight of ships to size of Navy?

That na the only metric US dey use rank their Navy as number 1.

Russia and China get more ships, larger fleets than US but trust Google to put their own country (America) as number one.

Russia dey build more ships and submarines but dem go wan whine person with "tonnage"

Oga.

Aircraft carrier wey useless. Aircraft carrier wey still need those "cheap improvised" ships to defend itself?

Aircraft carrier na just glorified air base wey dem use asphalt pour on top so dem fit pack jets..

E no dey serve any purpose other than to launch aircrafts and house troops. Very slow moving and easy target crap.

you no lie, the post dey harsh but e talk plenty truth.

Aircraft carrier really na glorified air base for water. Just pour asphalt on steel, pack jets, and pray say nothing go reach am. The whole hype dey come from how expensive e be, not because e be invincible.

I wanted to seek your thoughts on the latest moves by the US and its allies in aggressively diversifying its sources and refining of rare earth minerals. Other commentators are welcome as well.

You have here: https://www.afr.com/world/north-america/us-pressures-allies-to-break-china-s-hold-on-rare-earths-20260130-p5ny6q
and here: https://archive.md/2026.02.03-013023/https://www.ft.com/content/0a27adbc-1c8b-4361-9c57-c9f7f53f49d3 (US to launch $12BN fund for critical minerals) and recently a French minister visited Malaysia to assess the rare earth refinery there. In Pakistan, the US is funding the extraction of those minerals for export. Rubio will host a meeting of allied countries and mineral rich nations (many from our continent, too). Here: https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/just-what-we-need-us-calls-key-countries-together-on-critical-minerals/
Here, the EU aims to partner with the US on critical minerals so as to by-pass the dependence on China: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-02-03/eu-to-offer-us-critical-minerals-partnership-to-counter-china

Na why I no dey fazed with the so-called division between the US and the EU. They are one and together. Trump's "mean tweets" mean nothing in the fight against China. In Vietnam, leaders are preparing for a war with the US because they fear being used to counter China s Ukraine was against Russia.

In DRC, the govt ordered a miner to sell hitherto shipped copper to China to the US. I think the mining firm is even Chinese. And we know the sudden bromance between its president and Trump. The US is now buddies with Mongolia and Cambodia.

So, the race to break China's dominance in sourcing and refining is on.

How should or would the Chinese react? If the US-led West succeeds (long time though since the latest refining technologies were developed and perfected by the Chinese, who also have the intellect), how would China respond to coordinated attacks and sanctions, since that retaliating option has been reduced?

American ships are only sophisticated on paper. They have not fought any war with a formidable foe since ww2. The one they fought it Vietnam their so called stealth bomber was shot down.

They have only fought against slippers wearing goat herders 🤣🤣🤣🤣so they can brag that their ships are sophisticated. Let them fight a formidable foe then we will know how strong their ships are.

Ukraine will take on any European country or any NATO member of given the weapons needed and will defeat them hands down.

Ask the fellow to tell you the stealth bomber shut down in Vietnam he will start running amok aimlessly.

Go and read your history books son, read up the US navy battles in the Pacific!!


The flagship of Russia famed black sea fleet is currently chilling under the sea, sank by a country with no functional navy using ingenious anti sea weapons..The weapon that took one of the most sophisticated navy vessel of the Russian navy was a Ukrainian weapon made and developed by Ukrainians.
