I dont mean to insult you but sometimes i just have to shake my head when you post. First, You need to look at how the institutions function not the mere availability of that particular institution that can be in existence in name only.

Why do you think people are were concerned when Putin was missing the last time because a sudden death of someone like Putin can lead to a crisis in Russia because of its weak institutions but Kennedy can be shot and life goes on.

America's have strong institutions and the survival of the republic doesn't depend on few individuals like Russia. That was his point

The US is a nation of laws, and not of men like Russia historically.



You see yourself? The last time i rescued you from Langley since your defection, and after we paid a visit to the zoharariel spiritual cleansing centre at Ijebu, cheesy i thought you have been completely delivered, but alas, i was wrong. You posting this trash is evidence enough that you are properly enveloped in the Frenzy of western crazy media propaganda.

First, it was your crazed western medias who cannot sell their news or papers at the stands without Putin, that actually went on the frenzy and made a crazy issue off nothing. What your likes failed to realize was that all economic, institutional and social activities were going on well in Russia when Putin went on his sabbatical leave to Nibiru to commune with Karl El, the 26th alien descendant of the sons of Rus. cheesy The world didnt stop in Russia, and life was bubbling all across the different 11 time zones, while your masters ministries of truth were busy formulating theories of how Putin had been assassinated, overthrown by a coup, blah blah blah. And when he finally reemerged from Nibiru, some of them having nothing else to say, suddenly started to point out that ''Putin had been doubled'' grin grin I almost laugh my head off back then. grin

Now, your logic on the issue of sudden death of a leader and the aftermat thereof, is very flawed while using it to determine strong institutions. First, you failed to acknowledge factors like what may have cause the death, how did the ordinary citizenries view the leader, etc. But what you want to believe is that, if for example it was clearly established as at that time that Kennedy was assassinated by a foreign government, especially when it was during the coldest part of the Cold War era, the yankees simply would have taken a bow and move forward with their lives, while Moscow who no doubt was the apparrent criminal would be taking a nice walk in Siberia, abi? If that is the logic behind strong institutions, then i wonder why America is a nation at the first place.

Contrary to what you want to believe, the sudden death of a leader will always put a nation in a full blown or semi crisis situation, depending on the nature of death and the level of political perception of the people. When Stalin died, life went on for ordinary Russians, except for the dark men behind the scene gunning for the post. Many simply do not have much love for the man. But it took just the assassination of an Austrian crown prince to cause a global war, one in which nations with strong institutions were dragged in and fought.

Another thing you fail to realize is that, the ideology and tenets governing of and in gauging and determining the strenght of institutions, varies from place to place in accordance with stated principles and traditional consciousness of a nation.

Until you can tell me how laws are ruling the US without men, and how men are ruling Russia without laws, i will rest on my oars. cool

Remain bless.

Non military keh. grin I don't need to swim in the gutter of delusional bias victim with you, dear brother. So, i will just leave you with only a hint. Ever held of Zil, Kalmaz, Ural, etc. Russian civilian tech and equipments are popular as much as their military ones, they are cheap, rugged and requires little education to operate. The fact that you don't see Russian trucks and bulldozers in use in the west, doesn't mean or deny their capability and competitiveness, since you don't see their tanks or armoured vehicles there either. Kalmaz (the manufacturers of Kalmaz military trucks) also manufactured about 40-50 thousand civilian trucks yearly, with about 14% of them exported. Just go to Cuba, and you will discover you are surrounded by Russian stuffs, from cars to lorries, tractors, oil derricks, etc. It is believed that 80% of the Cuban economy is tied to the Russian export market.
Also, formal states of the USSR and in Africa with roughly over a hundred million population, are some readily available market for Russian civilian equipments. The Russian civilian aircraft market is just another emerging factor, with the production of the latest Sukhoi 100 passenger jet, for which customers are already queueing up for supply. The US did not create the sanction war for nothing. It was meant to stiffle a resurgent Russia in both military and technological terms. And that is a fact.


Now, talking about a bigger power fighting a lesser power, pls don't kid your self: the day the US will engage Russia in open war, that would be the end of much part of the earth's population. Don't think you would be watching Hollywood movie where one man call rambo kills off a full country. grin The fear of Russia is the only reason why your oga still have NATO around. And thats a fact, my brother.

Talking about jets and rockets, cheesy are you kiddin me? grin grin grin Don't let me get angry and call Serbia back to the party of death in the air.... grin cheesy grin you better allow sleeping dogs lie so that flying coffins and bathroom basens won't be further exposed for what they are... grin

God bless you...
Appleyard, , talking about Russian stuff in Cuba, it's a no go area. Been to Cuba twice on missionary projects with my church. There is nothing about Russian stuff in Cuba to write home about. The only reason the Castro brothers allowed those inferior Russian made cars and goods is because of the economic and political blockage of US. America is not only a military superpower, she's economic and technology superpower. Tell me any other country in the world that can lay a claim to that. You guys can deride America all you want, it doesn't take away from her greatness. You just need to live in US or visit for a few weeks to know the greatness of what a country should be. Here in US, we don't have vodka for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The greatest companies in the world are in US. The Google you America hating guys use is an American innovation. The internet is an American invention. $$$ is a world wide currency unlike the worthless Russian money that you won't even pickup if you see it on the street. The semi dictator in Russia won't even argue about US superiority . I challenge any of you guys to come to Chicago and I will host you for couple weeks and your hatred of US will turn to adoration. That's my challenge to you and my favorite Crown Prince.

Let us not get ahead of ourselves here. I do not hate Amerika because of her economic, technological & military mights.

My reasons for despising Amerika are as innumerable as the sands on the seashore but I'll just give you a few.

I hate Amerika because she invaded Iraq & Afghanistan on false pretext.

I hate Amerika because she preaches democracy, whereas she is in the business of toppling & subverting foreign governments that do not do her biddings (Democratic or otherwise) such as Iran in 1953, Guatemala in 1954, Congo in 1960, Dominican Republic in 1961, South Vietnam in 1963, Brazil in 1964, Chile in 1973.

I hate Amerika because she is responsible for all the chaos & anarchy in the world. Middle East, Africa, Korean Peninsula, South China Sean, Baltics.

I hate Amerika because she is the financier of all terrorist organizations in the world - and yes including Boko Haram.

I hate Amerika because her double standards & duplicity are unparalleled.

I hate Amerika because she is the land of the sheeple & home of the slaves.

I hate Amerika because she was responsible for the downing of the Malaysian MH-17 in Ukraine.

I hate Amerika because she hijacked the missing Malaysia MH-370 & kept it in Diego Garcia.

I hate Amerika because she preaches a faith in God and a belief in Satan.

And I will continue to hate Amerika until she falls & burns to ashes; but if you think hosting me in Chicago & treating me to a delicious banquet would change my perception about Amerika, then you need a brain transplant.

Meanwhile, I will continue to love & support Vladimirovich Putin with my unflinching loyalty for boldly & confidently standing up against the tyranny, lawlessness & conspiracy of Amerika. Thanks for your offer by the way.

Like I said before, hatred is an incurable disease and that's what you are afflicted with. All your rants about your hatred for America is nothing but what we call bladderdash here. You hate a country that doesn't even know you exist. To America, people like you doesn't even matter in the scheme of things because she has to deal with almost 350 millions of her people that matters. Your rants is a rant of a delusional being. Like I told you before, go to Nairaland Travel Section and see how your better informed country men and women idolize the great USA. Go to your Russia and kiss the ring of your semi dictator Pootin. I doubt if Russia will even issue you her visa. Keep swallowing your dirt in your backward Third World village with no portable water and electricity with mosquitoes doing a job on you. The US consulate in V/I is not far from you. Go there and let the people know that your hatred is pathological and see how your own country security forces will deal ruthlessly with you. About you coming to visit Chicago, I was just trying to open your face to what a good living suppose to be like but you love living like a junk yard dog in a Third World village. Anyway, wouldn't want you to bring mosquitoes here since we don't know how to effectively treat malaria here. Keep your delusional hatred for the most advanced country in the world. You and your fellow hate America club members are just delusional. America is the most benevolent and philanthropic nation on Earth and you can't say that about your Russia. In closing, when you get that visa to your heaven on Earth Russia, holla at me.

Yes, Russia does well in military engineering -military aircraft, tanks, miss nukes - and it has a well funded military industrial complex. But that's where it stops. Russia is not a country that is pushing the frontier of technological innovation.

Yes on the above, but again, wrong on the bolded. Contrary to what many people would want to believe, Russian inventors (both home and abroad) and their revolutionary innovations has constributed generously to the global scientific thought, helping us to enjoy the much of what the civilized world got to offer today.
From the invention of Catapillar tracks/tracks assembling in 1837, which gave the greenlight for the production of tractors and tanks globally, then to the invention of Electrically-powered railway wagons, Videotape recorder, radio,
Helicopter, Solar Cell, Transformer, Television, Petrol cracking, Synthetic rubber, Grain harvester, and so on, are some of Russian contributions to the global technological prowess.
It is only a russophobe that would deny Russia its place in the history of technology.


I think our conclusion is both the same - Political influence is one of the primary reasons why the US is a superpower. It has the ability to influence Global governments/parliaments


Correct.


Firstly, It seems you think that US alliance rests on NATO. This is false. Many Non Nato countries for example Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, contributed troops to the Iraq War.

Secondly, countries don't "feign" alliance. If the US does not believe that it has something to gain from being in an alliance with a country, it simply won't do so. For example, turkey did not join the Iraq war, but it hosts many forward deployed US miliatry assets.

Thirdly, it seems you consider the role of an alliance to strict military sense. Greece and Hungary have good relationships with Russia, but they agreed to a US led economic sanctions, why do you think this is the case?

Firstly, i wasn't alluding that NATO is the only sphere of US political influence. I only cited the bloc as part of that US influential credibility, and the fear factor vis the percieved Russian threat. Like i said earlier, the US Power of influence is never in doubt, and its ability to build up alliance quickly, is second to none.
But the fact remains that, NATO as a bloc makes it much more easier for the US to weild that influence, and also, there is a limit to that level of that influence.

Secondly. My brother, some countries ''feign'' alliances, most especially when its a military one. For instance, what would a country like Montenegro gain or contribute, in purely military sense, if it joins NATO, if not for some of the largees or prestige that it believe might follow NATO's structural deployment, which of course is mostly constituted by US components? This is just an exaggeration though.

The fact here is that, a nation may join an alliance not because of the primary interest of that alliance, but because of a certain objective which is totally different or quite contrary to the primary objective of that alliance. When this is the case, that country has feigned its alliance motive.


Thirdly. No. Alliances are not strictly limited to military basics alone. We have economic alliances as well, but the fact is that, both forms of alliances are interdependent. Economic alliance is a precursor to a military one, and vice versa. The issue of Greece and Hungary you mentioned further corroborated my point on feigned alliance, though in very minimal terms. They have good relations with Russia but becos they must play along, they joined in the sanctions; but the fact that now they are on the verge of rebelling against the EU and the US, courtsey of the Russian counter measures, underlined the fact that there is a limit to the level of US political influence, and also that nations have objectives that basically runs contrary to alliance stated objectives. And when you consider that these two nations are members of NATO, then you can understand this reality better. If they are rebelling now just becos of market impacts, i wonder how NATO's Article 5 can compare them to go and engage in Nuclear war with the same nation.

The reality speaks for itself.

As Missy has mentioned, the existence of institutions does not mean that they function.

How many courts in Russia can overrule Putin? Well, i will tell you - NONE!

Missy's logic (citing Kenedy's killing) lonly appease to kids,cheesy and you would do well to stay away from themgrin

What makes she think that institutions in Russia doesn't functions, but those in the US functions, and are the ones only democratic and legal? :-)Lets live that for now.

Which legal situation has arisen with Putin that he blatantly overuled?

Insinuations and facts differs, sir.
So, my brother, Lets not put the cart before the horse.

[b]1percent, by the neocons, by the Zionist.. all the main stream media, is controlled by the same crooks and this bastard here says crap about institution and compares it to Russia.. in Russia, the police don't kill anyone anyhow or even Africans there.. they live peacefully..


the masses do not carry guns about because there is a functioning institution in Russia... if your entire generation is being deceived by just changing the puppet known as potus every year but not the regime that controls the puppet itself.. it's saying the same thing and even worse than any president in Africa staying in power for more than a century..

what could be worse than a regime that is controlled by 1 percent...you should shut you dirty mouth when normal and well informed people are talking.. during the forum, Putin said, on two separate occasions that the super delegates dictate or choose the president for the people... where is the failed institution here.. all i see is just deceit parading itself as demo-crazy.

a failed institution that could not correct the institutional racism in the same land of dreamless African Americans.. those ones do not have dreams right..

a failed institution where you are being killed and highly discriminated against... you are even more likely to be killed in the same failed institution as an African American. the institution has failed the general masses on so many occasions and it's an institution for the super rich.



which institution is this agama lizard olodo talking about self.. the one that caused last recession stealing over 2 trillion hard earned money of the masses worldwide and this crook is saying junks.. russian institution did not steal the masses money like that..



Kennedy was killed by the same 1 percent because he did not do as they say.. now that is the most blood sucking institution..s in all human race. an institution controlled by 1 percent is no institution at all.



@ the Bolded, scully, gaddamit. Just gaddamit! grin grin

A working institutions where the color of your skin does determine your ability to attain justice in certain circumstances.

An outstanding institutions under which the likes of Michael Brown could be murdered in cold blood, and the white police officer was deemed not triable under the institution.

The same best working institution under which when a similar case of a whiteman was killed, then the policer officer was deemed fit to stand trial.

An institution serving as a custodian of the law where racial profiling is the other of the day in law enforcement duties.

An institution under which you are most likely to be stopped and checked if you are black.

A very good law abiding and human rights obeying functional institution that manhandles, choke, and kills at the slightest provocation, even when the situation is far more avoidable. A country ruled by law with an institution enforcing that law, and killed about 200 blacks (most of which were unarmed and for the slightest cause) in 2015 alone, more than any other race, despite making just about 13% of the population.

How wonderful are such institutions.

You have the wonderfully working institution wherein a Presidential candidate can win most of the popular votes and still end up losing the election, yet it is called ''a democrasy'' - in other words, the government of the minority, by the minority, and for the minority. What an aberration.


When a man is pointing at the moth in another man's eye, he too must not forget his own. And the above are just a tip of the iceberg.

It is only a russophobe that would deny Russia its place in the history of technology.

No doubt, there are some really smart physicist and engineers in Russia. However, you must understand that Russia priorities defense spending over anything else.

One way of getting an idea of a country in terms of innovation is to look at how much a country spends as a % of its GDP - on research and development. The top countries using this criteria are South Korea, Israel and Japan. On an absolute basis, the top countries are USA, China and the European Union.

You can also look at how much a country spends in terms of education, and the ranking of its tertiary institutions on a global scale. Then you would understand that Russia, despite its large population, ranks very low in terms of human capital development or innovation.

This is not a Russophobe thing. It's just mere facts. If Russia has great technology, its industrial products will compete worldwide. Besides military and petroleum products, there is no single industry that Russia can boast of superior advantage, compared with countries like Germany, Japan and China, talkless of the United States.


Secondly. My brother, some countries ''feign'' alliances, most especially when its a military one. For instance, what would a country like Montenegro gain or contribute, in purely military sense, if it joins NATO, if not for some of the largees or prestige that it believe might follow NATO's structural deployment, which of course is mostly constituted by US components?

The fact here is that, a nation may join an alliance not because of the primary interest of that alliance, but because of a certain objective which is totally different or quite contrary to the primary objective of that alliance. When this is the case, that country has feigned its alliance motive.

I would argue that countries don't feign alliances. Countries look out for what is in their own best interests. Montenegro cannot contribute anything to NATO. But it can certainly gain from improving its National security by being in the alliance. You may choose to argue on whether article 5 works or not. But so far, no country in the alliance has ever come under foreign attack. So what's there for Montenegro to loose? Nations are not joining the alliance to protect the interest of the alliance. They are joining the alliance to protect their own security interests.

For example, a country like Hungary aggressively competed for a NATO headquarters to be established in its territory, even though it claims to have good relations with Russia, why do you think this is the case? Perhaps it is the case that these countries are only "feigning" good relations with Russia, but they don't really trust Russia? Why do you think many countries choose to stay in NATO despite the fact that they can walk away free at anytime? Why do you think more countries are knocking the door to be let into NATO?

It is simple, these countries have much more to gain from being in NATO, probably even more than the US itself. The US does not have to worry about little green men appearing in California, these countries do.

America is not only a military superpower, she's economic and technology superpower. Tell me any other country in the world that can lay a claim to that. You guys can deride America all you want, it doesn't take away from her greatness. You just need to live in US or visit for a few weeks to know the greatness of what a country should be. Here in US, we don't have vodka for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The greatest companies in the world are in US. The Google you America hating guys use is an American innovation. The internet is an American invention. $$$ is a world wide currency unlike the worthless Russian money that you won't even pickup if you see it on the street. The semi dictator in Russia won't even argue about US superiority . I challenge any of you guys to come to Chicago and I will host you for couple weeks and your hatred of US will turn to adoration. That's my challenge to you and my favorite Crown Prince.

Dear Lucasbalo, possessor of a saving basket full of money; it is you i great. cheesy I know how you love America, and you have every reason to love it. By now you ought to have known the kind of person i am by my postulations. I am not a jingoist or a warmongering and trigger drunk kid like some of the brethren we have down here. I deal on facts and logical reasoning, and as a human, i may also make mistakes. I believe above all things, Spiritualism, pertaining to global events and the ordering of human course of action and inaction by the powers that be, and this much has informed my thematic posture in views as it relates to the likes of Russia, China, Isreal, and the US. These nations (whether we like it or not) are the time-piece that would dictate the winding up of the Gentile dispensation. I know you may not understand, and you cannot be blamed for that. We all have our own pacts set out for us according to the paths we have chosen. But be it know to thee, O Lucasbalo, that the United States has been programmed to be the LAST SUPERPOWER on earth, and its fate (to come from across the great waters) have been Sealed. Please study more on this issues and ask questions about them. This is a passionate appeal coming from a very concerned friend. Just do your bit on researching on the above. It won't take a dime from you if you do. Time is very short.


Now, speaking as an analyst, whenever you see me engaging some folks here in matters relating to Russia and The US, it wasn't becos i hate the US as a nation: No, For that would be very inhuman of me, becos the US as a nation constitute of at least, 300 million people, most of which are just plain innocents, and don't even know the horrors of their government.
But i hate the US as a government for the same reasons that are already known to you. If the US was voted as the greatest threat to world peace, then you can understand why the increasing rife in resentment. US military interventionism has brought much destruction to many parts of the world, and when you see people chanting for the likes of Russia and China resisting the US here and there, its not becos they also don't have their own problems, nor that life in Russia or China is the best, far from it; but its simply becos people are fed up or getting fed up already. And you know that to be the truth.

The US was, and is, since 1990, the only Superpower around. But when that superpower tells you he is afraid of a particular threat, then know he is talking reality. Russia is the only country that can exterminate the US, and vise versa. Yet, this is a fact which the various delusionist we have down here don't want you to believe, even when they knew quite well that, THERE CAN NEVER BE A CONVENTIONAL WAR BETWEEN THE TWO.

And this is the primary fallacy, inter alia, why i am always ready to challenge their diabolic blindman naratives, becos these trolls like the madmen we have as leaders, are poised in pushing the two, and consequently the rest of mankind into extermination suicide mission of no return.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Live in peace. God bless.

Now, that is how you know a kid when he types. You can't even make out his rhyme when he cries.. But for the kid you are, help is always the best. So, pls, Mention one single technology known to the US that is not known to Russia. Pls take some pills to help keep you awake as you surf through your computer. Happy digging, and God bless.

Re: Putin Admits US Is The Only Superpower In The World Today by NairaMinted: 7:44am On Jun 20, 2016
Oh yes, The United States of Amerika is indeed the world's only superpower. Was this ever in doubt? Did anyone state otherwise?
The United States of Amerika wields considerable military power and soft power - soft power in political influence (and subversions and destabilizations) across the globe; it's consumer targeted technological products in tandem with a formidable marketing machine; its ubiquitous mass media and "Amerikan culture" thanks to institutions such as Hollywood and its music industry; its educational institutions; and so forth.

However, I can't help but think Putin's remarks was flattery especially if you consider that this same superpower in the person of Amerika sees Russia as an "existential threat"

More so, Putin's statements were made in a humiliating response to a Washington foreign policy twerp, Fareed Zakharia who like many of his colleagues had tried to in the past, paint Putin in a bad light - as my Amerikan counterparts would say, put him on the spot.

But as satisfying as this is to watch at face value, it also teaches us something else...

Look at the intellectual disparity between Russia's leadership and Washington's policymakers. Yes, Amerika has immense power, but it has people completely out of touch with reality wielding it.

This is precisely what happened with the Roman Empire - an elite who no longer lived or worked in the real world, trying to conquer leaders and nations who did.

Let us not get ahead of ourselves here. I do not hate Amerika because of her economic, technological & military mights.

My reasons for despising Amerika are as innumerable as the sands on the seashore but I'll just give you a few.

I hate Amerika because she invaded Iraq & Afghanistan on false pretext.

I hate Amerika because she preaches democracy, whereas she is in the business of toppling & subverting foreign governments that do not do her biddings (Democratic or otherwise) such as Iran in 1953, Guatemala in 1954, Congo in 1960, Dominican Republic in 1961, South Vietnam in 1963, Brazil in 1964, Chile in 1973.

I hate Amerika because she is responsible for all the chaos & anarchy in the world. Middle East, Africa, Korean Peninsula, South China Sean, Baltics.

I hate Amerika because she is the financier of all terrorist organizations in the world - and yes including Boko Haram.

I hate Amerika because her double standards & duplicity are unparalleled.

I hate Amerika because she is the land of the sheeple & home of the slaves.

I hate Amerika because she was responsible for the downing of the Malaysian MH-17 in Ukraine.

I hate Amerika because she hijacked the missing Malaysia MH-370 & kept it in Diego Garcia.

I hate Amerika because she preaches a faith in God and a belief in Satan.

And I will continue to hate Amerika until she falls & burns to ashes; but if you think hosting me in Chicago & treating me to a delicious banquet would change my perception about Amerika, then you need a brain transplant.

Meanwhile, I will continue to love & support Vladimirovich Putin with my unflinching loyalty for boldly & confidently standing up against the tyranny, lawlessness & conspiracy of Amerika. Thanks for your offer by the way.
He that have an ear, let him hear what the spirit sayeth through the mouth of the Prophet...cool

When people all over the world talked about America, you will hear some Americans like my rebellious wife, telling you that people hate America because they are jealous of its wealth and freedom, but they are always wrong, and i don't blame them, because many of these innocent people don't travel out that much, nor study alternative news and information sources, and as such, are not conversant with the evils and mayhem their government is doing abroad in their names.

America's horror interventionism and tnppling of governments abroad since 1953 till date, is the major reason why America is so hated all over the world, and trying to impose its will and lifestyle on the rest of mankind, further exercabated the whole level of that hatred. Its even on record that after when Nigeria and Ghana criminalized homosexualism, the likes of Cameron and some US officials threatens to suspend certain levels of aids, such as in HIV, and other support to Ghana and of course, we saw that intent against Nigeria when they wickedly refuse to help with the Ebola trial vaccine, simply for refusing to officially copy their lifestyle, instead, choosing to mentain the status quo by nature, as against western satanic aberration of ''democratic right.'' (Little wonder you are now officially licenced to have ''sexual relations'' with animals in Canada, just as it is your right to walk up and down and engage in normal activities while completely unclad, in Australia.) and when you dare speak out, some kids will tag you as being jealous. (Very pathetic.)
These are some of the ''virtues'' the US-led west want the rest of the world to imbibe in the name of rights, forgeting why there is need for a government and blatantly negating the multipolar nature of the world in culture, religion, economic, and socio-political history and ideological differences among the nations and people thereof. It wasn't a child's play that the US was voted and is today seen as the Greatest Threat to World Peace.

Since man is always Unique and mentally alert to its immediate environment and survival instinct, the resistance (such as the likes from Russia and China) will continue to gain momemtum, and every rational, mentally stabled and critical thinker men like us , will continue to stand up against this hordes of hell that are matching.

For we can do nothing but for the truth, and the truth is: THE UNITED STATE Government and its Satan Controlled Foreign Policy that centred on Global Hegemony, is THE ONLY TERRORIST WE HAVE IN THE WORLD THAT THREATENS THE GLOBAL PEACEFUL ORDER.

Respect to you from me. I perfectly understand where you are coming from and I respect that. I don't care for America military interventions myself and that's the reason I always protest when Crown prince try to link me with it. I love America because she's been good to me and my family. I don't agree with everything she does and I let it be known here through Chicago newspapers. I know you don't hate US and a lot of this is just an overreaction. I criticize the government because I believe critiquing your leadership is the highest form of patriotism. One thing you have to realize is that a lot of Americans are not jingoistic either. Sometimes your government do stuff that you do not agree with. I grew up in a section of Chicago 'UPTOWN' that used to be called Buckets of Blood and I have seen war in the neighborhood without going to war. I was fortunate to escape from that due to the love of my parents and siblings. My number one pet peeve is war and I hate to see guys on Nairaland that never seen a shootout talking about war like a soccer game. War is very ugly especially Nuclear war. Hiroshima and Nagasaki went through nuclear attacks and the Atomic bombs now is one thousand time stronger. Who on Earth would survive that. Hopefully, the war mongers will see that is not the way to go. When Crown Prince told me that he won't be satisfied until America burn to ashes. That brought out a big smile to my face because I know he's truly delusional. America and Russia are not going to fight and the jingoists wishing for that are just hallucinating. I have deep respect for you even though we may disagree sometimes . What you and I have in common is our mutual hatred for wars. Peace and out.

Any body with a brain clearly knows the US is well ahead of russia in every possible criteria. But then how wonderful would it be for both to work together and deal with the scourge of global islamic fundamentalism.
Both countries have a judeo-christian national history, and have a majority christian population, and could probably defeat the rest of the world if both militaries were aligned.
