⚡Brazilian President Lula:

Brazil has stopped depending on the United States and has built strong economic ties with most countries in the world.

⚡China just tightened its grip on rare earths again cutting magnet exports in May and reimposing restrictions on critical tech materials.

China controls 90% of global supply, and the West is scrambling to catch up.

The U.S. wants defense contractors off China-sourced rare earths by 2027, but building alternatives is expensive and slow.

⚡India's PM Modi:

Countries are only looking out for their own interests. India will be the world’s third largest economy.

The interests of our farmers and small industries are paramount.

Let me even add that the enriched uranium the US needs to build more nukes or even maintain old ones are supplied by Russia till this day.

A country that supplies nearly half the world enriched uranium is who you think will be lacking in Nukes??

All these 5000 nukes bla bla are just guesses. Nobody knows the true amount in Russia's arsenal and that's what scares the west.

A country that produces and supplies vast amounts of enriched uranium and nuclear fuel cannot have less or equal nukes to countries that don't.

You are stating what is not part of the argument.
Nobody said US Minuteman missiles (MMM) are not land based. Even the MMM have received advanced upgrades.
Nobody said the Tsar bomb was not the most powerful nuclear weapon detonated in history.

The summary of what I want you to know is this;
1. When it comes to nuclear weapons, the US beats Russia in nuclear weapons that are more advanced and precised. It is not about detonating the most powerful nuclear bomb that you can't use today. How advanced and precise are Russia's nuclear weapons?
2. Under the sea, the US has more deadly and more powerful submarines (all nuclear powered) than Russia.
3. In the air, the US is the only country that has stealth nuclear bombers (the B-2). And a new nuclear bomber (B-21 raider) to replace the B-2 is underway.

All these are not up for debate. They are facts that even Russia knows.

When it comes to conventional warfare, the US beats Russia hands down; advanced fighter jets, nuclear powered aircraft carriers and surface battle ships.

When it comes to encirclement, the US has been encircling Russia since the days of USSR. There are constant nuclear submarines under the sea that are at striking distance from Russia. The US has access to land and sea through Nato that are very close to Russia. This is why they will do anything not to allow Ukraine join Nato because the encirclement is now too much for them.

Did you read about the Cuban missile crisis?

Even with all of these, there is a current 1.5 trillion dollars nuclear weapons modernisation program going on in the US as we speak. Can't even delve into this here.

However, the only area Russia is ahead of the US is in hypersonic missiles. Even at that, the US army long range hypersonic weapon, the navy's conventional prompt strike and the airforce hypersonic attack crusie missile are all expected to enter service in 2027.
I bet you've never head of Russia's S-70 Okhotnik-B heavy stealth bomber drone. A super secretive project.

Has longer range and better specs than the B-21 Raider.

In terms of conventional warfare, Russia will beat the US hands down.

Russia has a diverse array of missiles and systems. The US will have no breathing space to deploy troops or even land aircrafts or carriers. They'll get blown off before they even take off.

No country possesses more conventional missiles than Russia.

Russia has invested so much in long range missiles that they would sit right at home and deliver devastating strikes on US cities. While US will be scrambling jets here and there. Before those jets refuel and takeoff, Russia would have flattened 2 or 3 cities. Let's not even talk about the time it takes to maintain those jets.

And currently Russia is producing over 3 million Kamikaze drones per year. These are battle tested drones that are currently being used in Ukraine.


Russia is currently producing more weapons in 3 months than the entire NATO alliance is producing in a year. Look it up.

You have no idea who the Russians are. They were made for this. War. They've only known war and nothing else.

A country that lost 27 million people and still became the world's most powerful country is who you think will be a pushover. Hahahahaha. You'll learn a brutal lesson.


The only advantage the US has against Russia is aircraft carrier and we both know those are easy targets. Sitting ducks waiting to be blown to bit.

One strike and the US will lose both an aircraft carrier and 20 fighter jets all at once.

Will you be the one to tell the Russians not to use the Tsar bomba in a war? Or what kind of backward reasoning is that?

The Tsar bomba was even adjusted to 50 megatons because the Russians feared the fallout and destruction would be devastating and uncontrollable. That was 60 years ago.

Imagine what they have now. And how they've perfected it.

Even at the height of the cold war, Russia had over 60,000 nuclear bombs while the US had about 30,000 or so.

Let's be sincere with ourselves. Russia doesn't have the kind of money US has to spend on their military. Imagine Iran helping Russia with drones to fight Ukraine. 🤣😅. North Korea helping with soldiers. 😅🤣.

If not for nuclear weapons, Russia wouldn't be in a discussion where military might is being discussed.
You were born this morning. Russia has been a world power since the 1500's. Long before the US was even discovered. Russia is an ancient power that has existed in different forms and shapes.

Russia have fought and won world powers in Europe before the founders of the US were even born. Sweden was a world power, Russia fought them in the 1700's and won. Sweden lost their world power status that day and present day St Petersburg in Russia was annexed from Sweden.

Napoleon and France were the number 1 powers in the world... They challenged Russia and lost. France lost it's super power that day.

Hitler had a formidable war machine. Unstoppable and brutal.... until they faced the Russians and lost. Nazi Germany was thoroughly stripped of its power and identity. The bloodiest and biggest war in human history. Russia defeated and occupied them for decades. The US got involved 2 years after the war started. After the Nazis have already been weakened by the Russians.


In any of these battles, mention one where Russia had to win with Nukes. You think Nukes are what analysts use to judge military might? Russia/USSR was number one world power during the cold war, even before nukes existed.

Imagine the US losing to goat herders in Afghanistan despite the entire backing of 32 NATO Nations. They still lost after 20 years of fighting.

How is their "powerful" military faring against the ragtag rebel Houthi groups. Last I heard they were chased out of the Red Sea and the Houthis blockade the Red Sea.


Ignorance is the only reason why you equate military budget to true power. The US spends over $2 trillion on it's military yearly. So why haven't they been able to figure out hypersonic weapons?

Something Iran, North Korea and even poor Houthis have been using for years now. We saw these hypersonic weapons on display against Israel.

More than 80% of the so called trillion dollar defense budgets goes to the top brass defense contractors pockets and also used in servicing their 800 bases worldwide. They have even admitted it themselves.

DiasGodinHeaven:
Russia cannot save a terrorist regime from Israel long arm
The same Israel that was silent throughout Assad's reign, just because he was backed by Russia?

And only started bombing the current terrorist leaders after Assad left.

Do you think Russia and Israel are mates?

The Ukrainain territories Russia have captured is about 10 times the size of Israel. Not to talk of Gaza that Israel is still struggling to capture half of it, despite full US support.

Gaza is like a street in Ukraine.

Let's not derail the discuss with two many talk here and there. We are on which country have more advanced warheads. Just mention me once and I will respond. No need mentioning me 4 times. It makes responding to your points difficult. I will discuss all other things you said, but let me start with this.


Also, we are talking about land based systems now. When we are done, we will talk about air based (nuclear bombers) and sea based (submarines) and compare between the US and Russia.
US Minuteman missiles are silo (land) based.

And what makes you think the US will upgrade their nuclear missiles/bombs and Russia wouldn't?

Russia we know, regularly upgrades their missile platforms.

The Tsar bomba is the most powerful nuclear weapon detonated in history. Go and argue with the scientists who recorded the seismic data on their seismometer.

⚡Ukraine started to cut down “Russian trees”.

About 70 trees were encircled and eliminated by heroic warriors. The trees had no chance.

"These trees were planted during the Soviet era without any need," said Vladimir Remenyak, head of the Horodok City Council in the Lviv region of Ukraine.

-Another official, Tatyana Gretsko, added that the trees reminded people of the NKVD and KGB activities during the Soviet rule, and such forests are not found in the squares of European and Ukrainian cities.

Charcoal pot calling kettle black.

The US leaves death on it's trail. Ask the Middle East, Latin America and Asia. More than 10 million people murdered in those continents by the US.

Let's not even talk about inside the US. More mass shootings than the entire world combined. More people died in gun violence in the US last year than the entire Ukraine war.

This year alone more than 5 CEOs and whistle blowers have been murdered in cold blood. Who do you think is responsible? Me?

⚡“He wanted Rafales — and got one”

Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Chief Sidhu wanted Rafales downed — and he got one.

A J-10C using a PL-15 missile allegedly shot it from ~200km away, shocking the global defense community.

“He wanted Rafales,” said a PAF official.

“We ambushed them.”

India underestimated the PL-15’s range and paid the price. Their intel said 150km — the real range was much more. The Rafale pilots didn’t see it coming.

“The winner… had the best situational awareness,” said UK Air Marshal Greg Bagwell.

Yet they're the loudest of the bunch, it's irritating.
