I was expecting to ask who the experts are if you are doubt.
That’s what a brilliant person who seeks the truth would do
A brilliant person would have added at least excerpts or figures from the experts he is quoting from while making elaborate claims such as the one he did.

Russia producing more than all NATO countries combined including the US is so elaborate that the claimant need not wait for a brilliant person to request before attaching relevant data to support the blanket statement.

Next time say, Russia produces more XYZ than NATO countries.

USA is a real JUGGERNAUT!

ALMOST a TRILLION dollar spent per year just to develop more efficient ways to DECIMATE their enemies.

With a budget that is MORE than 3X that of the next country and their population, they will remain the BIG DADDY of the world for a long time.
It's not really about the money. The differences in cost of living also comes to play. This means China can spend $200 billion dollars doing the same thing that the US spends $800 doing.

Anybody u see saying that is just a troll.

America strolled into Afghanistan (a country thousands of miles away) and the Taliban ran away. They don't care about that but America leaving after 20 years.
Was America meant to stay there forever. I don't even understand these people.
Afghanistan is simply no longer in the strategic interest of the US and they left.
Gbam, that is just the truth.

Russia budget is lower but their weapon are more sophisticated and highly effective than American weapons.

50% of US budget are actually embezzled by the manufacturing companies and that is why their CEOs always smile home with beautiful packages every year end.

In reality US doesn't even have hypersonic missiles , they just started developing the technologies after seeing how Russia is dealing with Ukraine.

The US doesn't even have missile defense system to cover their territory. The whole East Coast is entirely without missile defense system.

That is the first point of strike for Russia, New York and its environs are easily within total and fatal destruction in case war start today.

So big budget doesn't translate to big development.
u.s doesnt need hypersonic missiles...they already have airforce bases, carriers and submarines ìn europe and asia. Russia definitely have the best air defence systems in S400 but there have been reports in of ùkraine destroying couple of s400 systems.

Some of those assets were later left for Taliban

If you check out videos of Taliban on YouTube, those guys have evolved into a modern combat ready army, with tactical gears, looking like special forces, with arrays of Humvees, few helicopters, tones of thousands of automatic rifles, battle tanks, APCs etc... all thanks to America
If you think those Yankees don't know what they are doing then you are not so bright. Alkaida's boss after Osama was eliminated after the Americans left and those weapons left behind are being put to good use by fighting Iran and ISIS on behalf of the US.

You can delude yourself into thinking that the Taliban are more powerful than the US Army when we all know that they left Afghanistan because it no longer posed a threat to them.
