I really don't know how many people commenting has really taken their time to go through American weapon inventory. If not for American, Hitler would have ruled the world and Japan would have continue to conquer Asia, China inclusive until America intervened. I have been following this unprovoked war that PUTIN unleashed on Ukraine and it has really exposed Russia and proven that USA still remains the world power. America is busy building High Tech 21st century weapons while Russia was fooling the whole world with their probably inoperable Nukes.

He who have ears, let him listen, THE DAY RUSSIA OR CHINA will try America in open warfare, AMERICA will crush them.

The AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System or XN-1 LaWS is a laser weapon developed by the United States Navy.

[s] NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN!!! America isn't powerless in military intervention,[/s] the only reason they haven't intervened is for the sake of humanity, because Putin is a f*cked up bastard, he would be willing to fight with nuclear weapons and that will spell the end of humanity as we know it. So don't say they are powerless, they just don't want the total destruction of mankind.

You still don't understand, the reason for being powerless in this situation is the bolded part of your comment. It is because it is Russia. Lol
And not for the sake of humanity, it is for the sake of their citizens. You got the difference now?

honestly Russians arent really in fighting mood ATM. And it would likely remain that way until or unless any external forces challenges russia militarily. Or interfere in their internal affairs. I can imagine that this is why the US haven't DARED trying to overthrow putin. Whenever any country gets on the nerve on the USA, what they do is first is try to overthrow their president, replacing him with a friendly one. They've don it many countries. They've even tried it with Erdogan, the president of Turkey. I was surprised that they've never contemplated trying such nonsense with Putin and this article totally explains wht. According to the CIA, the Kremlin is the most coded place in the world. Putin has even started clearing off some elements that he doesn't trust fully. The moment he notices that the USA are trying anything, he would be sure to leak it to the Russians who wouldn't have any of it. So the hands of the US are tied right now. The more they decide to interfer in Russia's affairs, the more the Russian people would become anti-west which I'm sure they wouldn't want.

This is very funny. Yeltin, the man who was the president of Russia before putin, was a certified western ass licker. The man did as he was told to do by the USA as they constantly humiliated Russia. Note that while this man was ass licking the ass of the USA, he was still criticizing their move to expand NATO towards Russia despite the reason why NATO was crated, the USSR was no more. When putin took over, he was fairly pro west as well. His attempt to join NATO was thwarted. NATO needed an enemy and if russia joined, pretty much NATO would become a useless bloc.
https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/01/19/putin-russia-ukraine-nato-george-robertson/
Which is why Putin asked in Germany, 2007.
"Are we still your enemies that you keep on expanding your alliance towards us?"

It is obvious that after the dissolution of the USSR, Russia legit wanted to form ties with the USA and the west. But USA felt like they won the Cold war hence they can treat their former rivals which was now a shadow of his former self, however they like. They became the proud fućks that they've been known to be.

Meanwhile, If USA can manage to overthrow putin and replace him with a pro western president like they did with Ukraine, believe me they will treat Russia with more respect than they have since the fall of the USSR. But the thing is, it is too late.
Lavrov, 2 days ago said "the illusions of Russia forming ties with the West is all but over now".
Meaning, instead of trying to create ties with the West they will instead with China and others in Asia and South America and even Africa. Russia has been of late increasing their presence in Africa. I don't know if it is just me that notices it

Not just increasing presence. They are fight against from the side line.

I will provide you facts based on my knowledge of physics and science and based on what i know is happening in the world now. First, there is no ICBM that can travel up to 21 mach number. This is not because they can't make it to travel at such speeds but because the heat generated will be so high that the missiles the ICBM carries will self destruct before it hits the target. Secondly, at such speeds, it can't travel at stealth mode without being detected. Again, because of the red heat the ICBM would have attained at these speeds. The maximum speed that the latest hypersonic missile developed by Russia can travel is 12 mach. Before that, the fastest was the Brahmos II supersonic missile owned by both Russia and India at 8 mach max. Having said all these, modern missile defence systems can't handle these because of the higher reaction times required. However , there is a technology that can handle this and which , I believe ,the US is working on. It is laser technology and works on the principle of physics that light is faster than sound. Its principle is to aim the laser technology at the ICBM launcher thereby dissociating the missile from its carrier before it gets the its destination.
The requirement for this is that the laser technology be close (within tens or hundreds of kilometers) to the ICBM launch location. This is partly what US is usually trying to achieve by having bases in countries close to Russia and China. US is also at a vantage position in terms of first strike advantage because they have military bases close to Russia, north kirea and china while these countries dont have any close to the US. Also, it is more advantageous to impose economic sanctions on a country and save your money for something more useful instead of spending it on a war. US and their allies also have an advantage in this because over 60% of all foreign reserves and international transactions are in US dollar. Another 33% are in Yen, Euro and GBP while the remaining 7% are split across other world currencies. Finally, it is not as if US cannot develop hypersonic missiles at a pace faster than both Russia and China but they slowed this down because they were championing the world denuclearization program. US is light years ahead of both countries with respect to technology and even sells them some of the technology they require at times.
princeeze1:

Nobody, not even the US can win a nuclear exchange. It will be the end of civilization, there maybe survivors in nuclear bunkers, but then they will have to go back to medieval times. There are currently no counter measures for an ICBM. Am ICBM travels at Mach 21+, existing interceptors at their best intercepts incoming at mach 7. Secondly, they come with MIRV. E.g satan 2 has over 15MIRV warheads, meaning for every single one, you need 15 accurate interceptions. If 1000 was launched at you, you would need 15000 accurate interceptions, how is it even possible? Each warhead carries over 1000kN of ordainace. The one that destroyed Hiroshima is just 15kN. So even if your interceptors are able to shoot down some, the ones that scale through would be enough to totally annihilate you. This is the principle of MAD. This is the reason for the American humility. Because there is credible deterrence and a second strike is assured even if you were to launch a devastating preemptive first strike. The US is not after who blames them for what, after all they brushed off the UN and invaded Iraq. What they fear is MAD. Now you know why Kim is very much after nuclear deterrence, that’s the only language the US understands. Even if they do not have a means of delivery to mainland US, they have the capacity to wipe off SK which the US would want to avoid. Everyone calls Kim a dictator or rocketman, but that rocket is the reason the US has not cooked up a reason to invade him. Rather they would use sanctions as we see in Russia.

Military experts that have studied Russia and have collaborated with Russian army for years are saying Putin can't order use of nuclear weapon should NATO step in cos it will mean an end to Russia, so to what end? To please one man Putin? Some are saying such orders from Putin won't be carried out cos the army commanders know the huge consequences.


Meanwhile, if NATO had intervened militarily, Putin would have called for dialogue cos if he escalates, it means bombs and missiles will be dropping in Russian cities which will open his secrets to Russians he had been deceiving that there is no war going on in Ukraine. It will expose his deceit and cause Russians to revolt against him because they will know Putin just want to destroy the whole Russia for a needless war to massage his balls.



US President failed Ukrainians.


In 1994, US convinced Ukraine to hand over all their nuclear warheads to Russia, promising to protect them against any external aggression, even Russia promised never to invade Ukraine should Ukraine hand over their nukes to Russia. They deceived Ukraine.



If Ukraine had their nukes today, Russia wont dare invade them.


All Biden needed to do is to remind Russia of their agreement and the US promise to Ukraine in 1994 and that would back US to intervene militarily together with NATO.


Joe Biden is a coward, he allowed Putin’s empty barkings to intimidate him.



Joe Biden have bartered US image starting from his last year's sudden withdrawal of US army from Afghanistan leaving behind sophisticated US munitions for Taliban

Those nukes were useless to Ukraine and they cannot effectively use them because the nuclear launch codes belonged to Russia and only Moscow is in possession of the Launch codes.

Maintaining them is another challenge that Ukraine of that period could not handle due to huge cost.

You would have actually saved yourself some embarrassment by actually using google before quoting me. Minute man 3 travels at Mach 23, satan 2 or rs 28 travels at over Mach 20, pics attached. ICBM are not about stealth but speed, maneuverability and MIRV. While minute man 3 has 3 mirv, satan 2 has 15. I repeat, the reason the US failed to intervene is MAD. Both sides would be destroyed, all for what? Ukraine? As for sanctions, I hope you are reading about protests in European capitals, don’t worry it’s boomerang effect will reach everyone. Europeans are already paying for energy at ten times its price before the war. Inflation is going out of control in the US. Lastly, the Ukraine crisis is not a full blown war. Russia sent about 150 to 200k of its active force of 900k and has been using very old jets like su25. Ukraine has thousands of soldiers sent from all over Europe as volunteers propped up with ammunition, anti air and anti tank from nato countries, yet its gradually been reduced to rubbles. It’s more or less a proxy war between nato and Russia. MAD is still the reason NATO does not want a direct conflict. Imagine if it was a weaker nation involved. NATO says it’s a defensive alliance all of a sudden, but in it’s entirety existence, all it’s conflict, it was the invading force, why the sudden humility, lol MAD.

Russia always alleges. They always fall short of all their claims when the time is ripe. Just because wilipedia told you something can travel at 30 mach number doesnt mean it can. If you check the beginning of my post, i mentioned to you that they can make missiles travel at that mach number but then it will be disadvantageous at such high speeds. The heat generated will be so much that it will be detetcted and deflected or it can self- destruct by burning up. An increase in mach number is usually followed by an increase in heat generation if you're a student of physics you'll know this. And like I said earlier, Laser technology can successfully combat ICBMs because they're one million times faster. I studied these things in school and not just talking from some nonsense googled online. Russia also alleged to have developed state-of-the-art T-14 tanks sometome ago but when the time came to use it the tanks transmission were faulty. They always put claims to things they know aren't possible from the laws of Physics. There's no way an ICBM launched at hypersonic speeds of up to 20 mach can go undetected till it hits its target. Itll be detected and the idea is to take it out with a laser before this happens. That's if the missile doesnt burn up

Lol, what has Russian claim got to do with icbm speed? Just because you want to bad mouth Russia, you jumped facts. Is Russia also the owner of minuteman 3 which travels at Mach 23? The US owns minuteman 3 FYI. Again , icbm does not depend on stealth, it is not designed to evade detection, but to counter missile defenses with speed, maneuverability and use of MIRVs. Again you clearly did not study anything in any school because you would have known even the laser you talk about is still an hypothesis, I.e, it’s just a postulated theory. It’s not yet in research, development or practice. Oga, ICBM has no counter measures, that is one of the founding principles of MAD. The ability to initiate a second strike after a preemptive first strike from an adversary is what makes deterrence credible. That is the humility we see. Every other thing you have said is trash. Update your knowledge please and add proofs not fallacies. Read up the following ICBM along side their speed and range, satan 1$2, minuteman 3, trident 2, French m51, Chinese df 41, and come back and tell me they are all lying in claims.

Re: War In Ukraine: 'America Is Learning The Art Of Humility' by smeag0l(m): 7:16pm On Mar 20, 2022
Theres no way to counter missile defense systems with speed alone. Otherwise, a development of defense systems with same speed nullifies the efficacy of such missiles. Stealth technology is usually added to modern missile launching systems. Please go read the entirety of these things before arguing.

If you must respond, respond with good points. I repeat, ICBM currently has no counter measures. In my initial write up, I clearly pointed out that it uses several factors to beat missile defense including speed which you must have read up by now. It has MIRV some up to 15, this confuses and overwhelms a missile shield. The best interceptor missiles travels at Mach 7 making it no match for an ICBM. Stealth does not hold water because AWACS and ground based sensors would always detect a launch. Again, all this stealth noise, stealth does not make an item invisible on radars please, it only gives it a smaller radar cross section, i.e makes it appear smaller than original size. You can also do yourself some favour by reading this up too. Lastly, building up more missile defenses against a great power has been proven to be inefficient because they will simply overwhelm it with more missiles. That brings us back to the time tested and trusted doctrine called MAD. No assurance of victories, just mutual assured destruction. This is the very reason for NATO’s current humility.

Thats why i told you earlier that the US is either already working on or already already owns an interceptor that is based on laser technology which is away from everythong the world ever uses for interception and I explained the concept to you. Laser travels a million times faster than sound and a hundred thousand times faster than the fastest hypersonic missile. All these things are already studied and well documented in the west. I write scientific research papers and I'm very sure of this fact I'm making known to you. The MIRVs that work on disguise are just based on concealing the actual missiles by making visible a lot of dummy ones on the guided vehicle. However, a laser can be used to detect the guided vehicle from the the missile or group of missiles it is carrying at a speed way faster than that which it should use to travel to its target. And again, like I mentioned, these missiles just have a face value of mach numbers of up to 20 but unless the guided vehicle carrying the missile is made of tungsten shields it'll burn up quickly at that speed. The laser technology I pointed up there may not be available for you to read up online just yet because it's a new technology and the only way to stop hypersonic missiles.

House to house fighting now going on in Marioupol.( No more kind gloves )


neighborhoods as fighting goes street-to-street, officials say
By Loveday Morris and Anastacia Galouchka 12:08 p.m.
DNIPRO, Ukraine — Russian forces are present in all civilian neighborhoods of Mariupol, as the battle for control of the strategic port city descends into house-to-house guerrilla warfare, Ukrainian military and city officials said Sunday.
“They are in the center, in the periphery, they are everywhere,” Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko said in an interview with The Washington Post. He said that over the past four days, the war has shifted into intense street fighting.
“Our boys are fighting back,” he said. “But it’s hard.”
Russian gunships have also been targeting the city for several days, Boychenko said. With communications cut, information from the city has been scant, but those fleeing have painted a picture of a city where Ukrainian forces are losing their grip.
Lt. Col. Sergiy Bachynskyj, a spokesman for the military hospital in Dnipro, a city nearly 200 miles northwest of Mariupol, said dozens of workers from the military hospital in Mariupol have evacuated in recent days. About 40 essential employees have remained, he said.
“They are in all the civilian quarters right now,” he said of the Russian forces.
Industrial areas linked to the city’s steel industry, meanwhile, are still in Ukrainian control. “It’s the main zone of fighting,” he said. “I’m not saying that there are no Ukrainian soldiers in other parts of the city, they just don’t control that territory.”
Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to the Mariupol mayor’s office, said that, overall, there is “no complete control on either side.”
“Who can talk about controlling, when one building is Russian-occupied, and one is Ukrainian military,” he said.
“It was, is and always will be a Ukrainian city,” he added. “The Russian army can bomb everything in Mariupol, but that doesn’t mean Mariupol isn’t Ukrainian. That’s why they are bombing it completely.”

Points to note.

United States, almost all 30 Nato members countries have been training and arming Ukraine since 2014( 8 years) to fight the Russians even apart from Ukraine which produces a lot of her own weapons.

( Ukraine inherited lots of technology from former Soviet union) but Russia is still eating their Land bit by bit.( at least 1/5 of Ukraine is completely under Russian control while fighting are going on over some while some areas in the west are yet to see war because they are not part of the take over plan).

Thats why i told you earlier that the US is either already working on or already already owns an interceptor that is based on laser technology which is away from everythong the world ever uses for interception and I explained the concept to you. Laser travels a million times faster than sound and a hundred thousand times faster than the fastest hypersonic missile. All these things are already studied and well documented in the west. I write scientific research papers and I'm very sure of this fact I'm making known to you. The MIRVs that work on disguise are just based on concealing the actual missiles by making visible a lot of dummy ones on the guided vehicle. However, a laser can be used to detect the guided vehicle from the the missile or group of missiles it is carrying at a speed way faster than that which it should use to travel to its target. And again, like I mentioned, these missiles just have a face value of mach numbers of up to 20 but unless the guided vehicle carrying the missile is made of tungsten shields it'll burn up quickly at that speed. The laser technology I pointed up there may not be available for you to read up online just yet because it's a new technology and the only way to stop hypersonic missiles.

If you write papers as you claim, you won’t write these things you wrote here. Firstly MIRV are not dummies but war heads that are independently targetable. Hence the name multiple independent targetable reentry vehicles. It’s different from the decoys or dummies attached to the missiles launched in Ukraine. Again you will understand what an hypothesis is. Laser like you said is still an hypothesis. Or are you the CIA to assume the US developed it and decided to keep it in secrecy lol. The worse case would be to forbid it’s export like the f22 raptor. We are talking facts, not Hollywood fiction, so bring proof. Again, even if laser comes to fruition in later decades, the question will be how many lasers would you need to stop an annihilating attack of over a 100 ICBM incoming at Mach 20+. You suddenly decided to say ICBM speeds are face values, wonderful! And you know better than all the defense corporations and defense experts. Bring contrary proof. Don’t just spill, back up your statement, even with a proven essay. The most important attribute of an ICBM is it’s speed and reentry vehicles my dear. Help yourself na and read first, you will surely discover there are currently no known counter measures. It is on these principles that the doctrine of MAD is founded, because a first and retaliatory strike is assured, and nothing would stop it. The moment a credible defense comes up, then MAD is dead.

I really don't know how many people commenting has really taken their time to go through American weapon inventory. If not for American, Hitler would have ruled the world and Japan would have continue to conquer Asia, China inclusive until America intervened. I have been following this unprovoked war that PUTIN unleashed on Ukraine and it has really exposed Russia and proven that USA still remains the world power. America is busy building High Tech 21st century weapons while Russia was fooling the whole world with their probably inoperable Nukes.

He who have ears, let him listen, THE DAY RUSSIA OR CHINA will try America in open warfare, AMERICA will crush them.

The AN/SEQ-3 Laser Weapon System or XN-1 LaWS is a laser weapon developed by the United States Navy.

Hope you knw that some weapons are barred from modern warfer do your search, lazer weapons is one of them.so that pic up ther is just for show except you want a crime against humanity

Just take whag i have told you, there are credible defences for ICBMs. Theyre just proprietary for now . Screenshot this post and in a few months this year, ill remind you of it. MIRVs have both dummy and real missiles that are used to disguise the actual missiles. Like i said again, you need to read up on these things

I should take what you told me as encyclopedia abi? When you actually said nothing, everything I have said I gave proofs. This is what too much Hollywood causes. If they are proprietary, how did you come about them as they are supposedly classified? All military thesis available points to no credible defense, but somehow you know about some classified ones. You think everyone is dumb, I purposely took out time to shred down all your original assumptions point by point. It’s better you come to a forum properly grounded. America is the greatest nation economically and militarily no doubt, but don’t come and sell us bull and rooster stories without backing.

I would not say humble but cautious so that history will judge them as to be on the right side, as a defender of the oppressed. grin grin

First of, the Ukrainians are doing well enough with the little they have got, even though they are outmatched.

Secondly, the Russ started the war on the wrong foot and this has caused them a whole lot of embarrassment as it has exposed their weaknesses to the west and reduced their terror in the hearts of the westerners.

Thirdly, they have exposed their hands and more than enough times, their warfare tactics, weaponry and all that sort.

Fourth, they have created an enmity between themselves and the Ukrainians for generations to come and just as zelensky have said, it will take a whole lot to forget this event. It will be written in the folklore of the Ukrainians, and these are proud and unforgiving people.

Fifth, Russia and the Russians have now been effectively locked out of the world's wealth due to one man's pride and insecurities.

Sixth, the west, and primarily the USA is using this plot to degrade and drain Russia and Putin, letting him to make more mistakes that will turn him to a stench and an untouchable in world affairs.

Lastly, Russia is the toothless Bulldog in this fight. They lost the plot the moment the invaded Ukraine which was a trap set for their failure. He dare not strike further than the borders of Ukraine because NATO is actually ready and waiting for Putin to make that fatal mistake so that they can finish him once and for all. That will allow them refocus on China and tame her. tongue tongue
