What you call propaganda about the US military is true! They have bases all over the world and can quickly mobilise to go to war! They still have a strong and active alliance(NATO) that something Russia doesn't have!
And please don't come and give me the bull shit story of how china will come to Russia aid!
China and Russia don't have a defence pact and before China will aid Russia she is going to look at what she stands to benefit for allying herself with Russia!

The superpowers won't fight a conventional warfare but an economic war. That what is in play now! The American sanction of Russian financial sector comes to mind!

Very true!!
On your first point: There is no reason why Alaska should be part of US. But Alaska is one of the 50 states that make up the US even though it is physically separated from the continental USA by 1000s of km. Has anybody asked why?

On your second point: There was this rumor that the crash in oil price is due to US producing her oil reserve. If it is true, is it a coincident that US started oil production at a time she need to sanction Russia? In addition, US has Saudi and ALL the major oil gulf countries as allies (now Iran may be joining the party too). That means US can turn Russia's major income generator to "pure water". The war may already have been won before the first cannon is fired!

But still, I don't really like US that much because she spread wars and by extension poverty, hunger, diseases etc to "non-conforming" countries while spreading wealth to those that are in her good books - effectively, US is playing god But that does not remove the fact that she is the most powerful country in the world by a wide margin

Dont be surprised, most people that are shouting Rusia and Putin here, are people, which are either moslem or people that have been denied visa at the America embassy.If these set of people were to chose between migrating to U.S or Rusia, majority would gladly chose U.S over Rusia.Set of hypoctrite.

NATO!!! NATO can't do nothing without u.s the are toothless bulldogs. the creation of NATO in the first place was to counter the threat of the Soviet Union, which also had its defence partners in the Warsaw pact. the dissolution of the Soviet Union ended the Warsaw pact, but the entire Europe were still scared of Russia so NATO has to stay.

without the u.s I don't know if NATO can survive two days in a war with Russia and also without NATO I don't think the u.s can survive any long war with Russia.

u talk of economic war, the question now is, is it working? despite the sanctions and threat to sanctions Russia is still standing firm.

the u.s should stop forcing European countries to follow suit in sanctioning Russia, as most of them are unwilling to join the sanctions team.

Russia is not a threat to anybody especially in Europe, but a threat to u.s hegemony. but the u.s spread lies and propaganda to Europeans of how Russia is a threat to them.

if the u s believes Russia is a threat to them let them face Russia squarely and not coercing other nations to fight their economic or military battle for them especially in Europe .

People refuse to understand that the economic and financial system of the world is controlled by the US! That alone she can out muzzle any county. Yes she is powerful, she has a lot of enemies, her approach to things reeks of hypocrisy. The truth is that you can't win an economic war with her!

I really want Nigeria to take the same approach America has taken over the years! That one of the ways we can secure our place in the international system! A powerful economy, a powerful military, charismatic leaders! How size and population already makes other states uncomfortable, that why they want a divided Nigeria. Our leaders aren't helping matters too! Nigerians should have the best of life! They deserve it!

oga Russia isn't interested in fighting wars and destroying independent nations, what Russia is more concerned with is their national security and interest. well I agree with u saying the u.s has much to loose if it eventually go into war with Russia, but mind u even if the u s goes into a conventional war with Russia it would never regain its world power status. they can both destroy themselves conventionally. just like I said before the u.s spreads to much propaganda about their military that it would look as if they can occupy the whole planets in one second. of course remember they have the media which Russia doesn't have. one thing in war is tenacity, the Russians infact to a large extent the people of eastern Europe are more tenacious ad have experienced more hardship and brutal life styles than their counterparts in the west and western Europe. they would be more willing to die fighting than their western neighbours.

remember the battle of Stalingrad where Russia/Soviet union lost millions of soldiers just to make sure they push the germans out of their country and defeat them which was a success at a very high cost as the battle was one if the bloodiest in ww2

fineguy11:
YOUR ANALYSIS CANT BE MORE OBJECTIVE AND DIRECT !! Russia's foreign policy is centered around securing its security/economic interest...syria is russia's only access to the Mediterranean.(security interest)...as for the economic interest in syria,the 10billion dollar IRAN-IRAQ-SYRIA gas pipeline is a project that would cement its main ally IRAN,as the future economic power house of the middle east,,an idea that the US and its gulf allies detest......the US is pissed with Europe's dependence on russian gas,the simple solution would be the proposed SAUDI/UAE-iraq-syria-turkey pipeline which AL ASAD refused to approve instead he signed a deal with iran,that's why the gulf state /are against al asad and have been fueling the jihadist in syria with money and weapons to oust him.if they succed in busting ASAD,it wld mean an end to russia's access to the European gas market.,coz the saudi/UAE gas pipeline wld be channeled tru iraq -syria -turkey(nato member) to europe.........

All you written up there is retarded! Do you know the counties that make up NATO? Do you know how powerful militarily they are? I am removing US from NATO. The rest states do you know how many men they can mobilise? Their weaponry? Abeg when you arguing argue with facts!
NATO isn't weak, they just been cautious!
Russia can't face that alliance alone unless she has a defencive pact with other states!
May I remind you that during the second world war Germany almost defeated Russia. You might say they didn't ! There were just three reasons why Germany didn't totally conquer Russia

1) Hitler divided his troops they were fighting on two fronts. If Hitler had conquered the west before heading to the east, Russia won't have survived it,

2) The bitter weather condition in Russia

3) America's ammunition! Stalin told the allies he needed ammunitions and weapon! If he got that he would push out Germany at any cost no matter the human life involved!

mother of terrorist Russia!!! are u sure of what you are saying. Russia has been dealing with terrorist for long especially the Chechen terrorist or rebels. u call mother of terrorist now read.

alqeada ( Osama bin laden) was created by the u.s to fight Russia during the Afghan war in the 70s. finally they became so powerful and even terrorised their sponsors.

Isis was created by the u.s to oust ghadaffi, which was a success but just like al Qaeda they couldn't control them until they became so powerful and entered syria, the u.s saw this as an opportunity to oust their long enemy Assad. they left Isis to wreck harvoc in Syria thinking Assad would give up but no he didnt, then Obama said he would send a precision strike against isis, Russia knew that any strike by u.s wouldn't be against isis but Assad, so they set up a naval blockade in the port of tarsus which was a warning to the u s that Russia wouldn't allow such strike.

the u.s heeded to the warning, and Isis continued gaining upper hand. Russia saw the hypocrisy of the west and said enough is enough.

which country bombed iraq- u.s
which country bombed Libya - u.s
which country bonbed - Vietnam even using chemical weapons(agent orange) - u.s

oga in fact the crime of the u.s alone in the world is enough for God to destroy the world.

take it or leave it almost all terrorist organizations in the world has the backing or support or the knowledge of the CIA . anything u see the Russians doing now is for their national security and interest

as for Ukraine the u.s made a dangerous and foolish move by trying to get close to Russian borders, just as they won't allow Russia so close to Cuba.

U are right sir,

Most people see US as the saint of this world. They are so quick to associate with them and think Russia is the bad guy. But the truth is, US and Russia and other wishful super powers are all out for the same thing, PERSONAL INTEREST.

I told someone that Russia would rather kill everybody in Ukraine rather than allow US to take over that Country. US is really closing in on Russia and they need to act fast. It's a cold war actually and all parties involved are very much aware. It is never about Ukraine, Syria or Libya. It is about the perceived enemy.

gists:

And you don't know that for every homeless person in US, there are probably 5 in Russia. And by the way, this is not a the stand-alone comparison of the economic strength of both countries, I am talking about the influence the US has over the majority of the countries in each continent.
I just don't get when people just use sentiment to make decisions in this country. I am not the biggest fan of Obama/US but give it to them - they are the best!
The only reason why Russia still has influence in Europe is the fact that she supplies them Gas. Trust me, most European nations don't like that idea and they will jump at the next available alternative - which will most likely be brokered and probably part-financed by US. Can Russia do this to US? - NO!!


Unfortunately, Nigeria has leaders that only cares about money in their bank account. They are not interested in real power among nations. Its such a shame especially when you look at he population size. We have the potential but lack the will/drive.
