franchasng:
I have said this countless times.


NATO will destroy Russia in few days should war escalate but the problem is leadership. Current leaders of NATO member nations are cowards, they lack the willpower and courage to use their strength and might. Even to disconnect Russia from SWIFT they cant summon the courage to do it and cripple Russian economy immediately.


If Vladimir Putin was a US President right now, Russia will be retreating in hours.


Its not as if Russia is that strong, yes they have military might but they are almost a poor country, but they have a strong man as President who understands the law of power and how to lead a war. He talks tough thereby making opponents to see Russia as the greatest giant. Vladimir Putin is the strongest President on earth right now but Russia is never the strongest nation.



Some people are rich but don't command the respect, thats the case of US now under Pa Joe Biden. US have gradually become a toothless bulldog under Democratic leadership, what a shame.



Just make Vladimir Putin the President of US and Joe Biden the President of Russia and watch Russians pissing in their pants with fear.




In as much as I condemn Russian invasion of Ukraine, I must admit that I admire Putin's courage and guts, its unparalleled

I only disagree with one thing you said. Russia is not that strong.
Russia is second to US and they have military might and technology.

CSTRR:

The strategic failure of American politics is allowing China and Russia to unite.

That was an amateurish mistake that the likes of Henry Kissinger would never have made.

China is the real threat, as far as western civilisation is concerned.

Their cities are world class, their prosperity is world class, their education is world class, and their technology is world class, and their exports, supply chain and manufacturing is peerless and cutting across every sector.

A true superpower in the making that Russia will never be.

Seriously, I am smarter than most of these politicians and diplomats.

Very accurate. America and Europe are living in the past.

The US core foreign strategic interest should be:
China
Asia
Africa

...beyond landmass, Britain will not match Russia. Lovely writeup above still.

Lol this is just sentiments not based on any data or historical facts.

Russia is having it hard to repel the Ukrainians and now the British you think them fit best because of landmass forgetting that war is now technological

We pray not for such a day to come. The Ukrainians are the ones to repel the Russians not the other way round.

I mixed it up,thank you but I am sure you got what I meant which was that the Russians did not expect the Ukrainians to be this resolute and dogged.

So, India is not a nuclear weapon country abi?

Russia - 6,255 nuclear warheads
United States of America - 5,550 nuclear warheads
China - 350 nuclear warheads
France - 290 nuclear warheads
United Kingdom - 225 nuclear warheads
Pakistan - 165 nuclear warheads
India - 156 nuclear warheads
Israel - 90 nuclear warheads
North Korea - none, but material to build 40-50 nuclear warheads

The way some of you underrate India ehn? It can only be ignorance.

France is no match for India. India will decimate it in a conventional and even non-conventional war. The Indian military is very powerful, and one of the most disciplined in the world. It is also one of the most technologically advanced militaries in the world.

Gobengroup:
Russia is not having it hard with Ukraine, infact this is not like a war with Ukraine.
You mean Russia telling Ukraine soldiers to surrender and not killing them at first a war.
Are you calling taking over a city and not killing the leaders a proper invasion. Mother Russia is lenient on Ukraine and that should not be taken as coward.

Lol, your mother Russia is being hit from every angle and cannot afford to fight the world.

According to American intelligence the Russians are having it hot so I would not be surprised if they become more desperate.

Glory to Ukraine.

Where do you get all this fake news?

There are only 5 Nations with Nuclear weapons that are recognised by UN.

Most of you minors talk with emotion and reality.

India war with France would not last 2days, they would be destroyed.

Let India defeat Pakistan first before punching above their weight.

I see that you have a lot to learn in international politics. [Check the screenshot I attached.]

There is a treaty called the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

There are NPT-designated Nuclear Weapon States.

But states like Pakistan and India have nuclear weapons but are not NPT-designated nuclear weapon states.

Israel is also believed to have nuclear weapons, and on the map of NWS, Israel is designated a presumed NWS. They have refused to declare openly, and are thus said to be maintaining a policy of deliberate ambiguity.

It is laughable when you believe only UN-recognized NWS are the only ones with nuclear weapons.

Then, show proof.

I have shown you a list by the Global Firepower, the most respected authority on military ranking.

You have shown nothing, and yet think I am the one fooling myself.

In the face of evidence, you are the one fooling yourself, sir.

Since I have been following military lists, I have never seen where France ranks over India.

I have even shown you the most latest ranking, and you have not shown anything.

You are just a waste of time.

OK, so we should just believe that this country is stronger than that country abi?

Why do you think France will beat India in a conventional war?

They are both nuclear weapon states.

And India even has the far larger military in terms of personnel number, and has the larger military expenditure.

What does France have over India?

Let us have this debate, please.

All you have done so far is talk. No proof. No sound argument. Nothing!!!

Ask yourself which country is wealthier which country is technological more advanced, which country has more experience fighting great wars which Country has bigger nuclear weapons and Allies?

Answer the questions and you would see your own error.

France and India are not far apart on the list of wealthy and technologically advanced countries.

A bulk of France's wealth comes from exploiting past colonies, and their human resources. Even their football team is not original. Take away this factor, and you have an ordinary country.

But India is powerful by tapping inwards. Their military is ranked over the French military, both in size, readiness to combat, and all.

As for Allies, the biggest of their Allies is the United States, and we know the United States will likely not want to go into such a dicey war against India, another nuclear weapon state.

Answer the questions and you would see your own error.

You haven't said anything.

Is the French army really strong, or just dependent on Allied Forces?

Barring nuclear weapons (which India has as well), the French military is no match.

If I share expert opinions on this now, you will still play the ostrich.

I have known better than to waste my time with someone who argues without one shred of reference. Just his own opinions.
