Will Russia Emerge As The Next Dominant Superpower

[stompix]

Well.. it is not a simple Russia vs Ukraine battle. Now it has grown to Russia vs NATO battle.

But, Russia was supposed to trash NATO even in an open battle, not they are running away just because the US has sent 5% of their missile launchers, 0% of their tanks, 0% of their aircraft, 0% of their aircraft carries,0% of their submarines and 0% of their troops in battle?
 
How's that 50% getting conquered by April, then 25% then 20% ?
Right now Russia holds 68k km2 conquered from February 24, that's 11% and even if we include Crimea and the DPR/LNR is still below 18%.

Meanwhile, speaking of a superpower, the super profits that some experts were talking about are, guess what...melting away!
I can remember the stupid cheering on how Russia is making billions in profits, how they have trillions in budget surplus how they can afford quadrillions while Europe sinks in poverty, well, as usual, reality kicks in after the last glass of vodka.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-12/russia-s-budget-surplus-is-nearly-erased-as-ukraine-war-drags-on

The fiscal surplus shrank to 55 billion rubles ($850 million) in the first nine months, from 137 billion reported in the year through August, according to preliminary data reported by the Finance Ministry on Wednesday. Russia’s surplus over the first six months of the year reached Rbs1.37tn as it built a war chest on the back of soaring energy prices.

Superpower, why can't some understand that with just gas and oil the only superpower level you're able to achieve is that of Bartovia?
Seriously rather than sending those conscripts into battles they would be better of investing money into bitcoins and trying to sell their tanks as NFTs, far better than having them blown off.

If one country is cutting the ties the other country is in line to strength the terms with Russia - there is no denial that Russia is a very powerful state.

In the new official status, "terrorist country" - of course, it groans as a leader! Among losers, scum and world outcasts
True, the world was hesitant for a long time, shy, and some were afraid to admit this fact. But now the situation is changing dramatically. Even many yesterday's supporters of the terrorists with the "second army in the world" voted against the recognition of the fake "referenda" and the temporary occupation and annexation of the territories of Ukraine. Of course, Russia will not become "Great North Korea" tomorrow, but in a very close time. As the people say, "The kid went to success, it didn't work out, it didn't fartanulo*"

Given that russia has been under threat from SWIFT sanctions. Part and component sanctions for many years. I'm surprised they haven't been able to do more to kickstart their own native and domestic sources of manufacturing and supply.

The one area russia has done well is in agriculture and food production. Russia has steadily produced higher quantities of food everywhere to alleviate economic stress from food imports being banned into the country. I assumed russia would do the same with its technology and manufacturing sectors. But it seems that they have suffered a steady string of defeat there.

While russia has been able to produce impressive technology in their fighter jets, helicopters, hypersonic missiles and missile interception systems. They have not been able to produce those items in any real quantity. It appears that they also lack many fundamental things necessary to having a basic war effort. Such as some sources claiming russian soldiers lack radio encryption. Can you imagine a modern military lacking radio encryption in the year 2022. In an era where many firefighters, police and law enforcement have radio encryption as a standard measure.

Russia survived the dark days when they were facing sanctions from all over
now they are in better position and they have proved their strength to the world already

Russia was darkness, in the days of Muscovy, and the fictional "Russia", and in the form of the RSFRS, and in the form of today's terrorist country. Muscovy / USSR / Russia - has always killed, robbed, neighboring countries and entire nations. This is her story ... Study the history - you will learn a lot of new things ...
But you're also confusing cause and effect.
The sanctions were the result of the start of REGULAR aggressive, terrorist war, in violation of the mass of international obligations and treaties by that same Russia.
Threat I’ll answer in advance - no, Ukraine’s entry into NATO - this idea appeared much later than 2014, when Russia attacked Ukraine ....

[Sithara007]

The whole EU tried to pull the Russia down but Russia stood tall be it sentions or anything else.
Now there are other suggestions to pull Russia out of UN too. They can try this and face the music. the way they have already faced by putting sanctions on Russia

They tried to isolate Russia, and attempted to destroy the Russian economy through sanctions. They failed pathetically with both the attempts. First of all, not just China, but also other countries such as India, Pakistan and Indonesia refused to follow the NATO narrative and join the sanctions brigade. And secondly, despite all the sanctions and embargoes, Russian economy is doing relatively fine. The Russian Ruble is one of the best performing currencies of 2022, and that says a lot about the effectiveness of the sanctions.

[Wong Goblog]

While russia's invasion of ukraine has stalled. Russia isn't trying very hard. They don't have to. They simply have to wait for the next big economic crisis when free money and support thrown at ukraine can no longer be funded. Then resistance may well crumble.

I hope that if a crisis occurs, then we can't feel it, so that we can still enjoy Bitcoin as it is today. Lol
I'm just worried that if the global economic crisis continues, there will be a world war. Powerful countries like America, China and Russia will invade small countries.
If we look at the current conditions, America has lost compared to Russia. We know America's involvement in Russia's war with Ukraine is obvious. But the Ukrainian forces were unable to make the Russian troops retreat.

This means that Russia's capabilities in the context of war are currently above average. The thing that I dislike the most in every war is, the superpowers are always looking for fields in small countries to test their abilities. The involvement of America and Nato in Russia's war with Ukraine made Ukraine's condition worse.

Russia survived the darkest days - now they are emerging as more powerful state.
If one country is cutting the ties the other country is in line to strength the terms with Russia - there is no denial that Russia is a very powerful state.

True, although Russia has always been prevented by Europe and the USA but they can survive and continue to run, Russian economic and military strength is currently very strong so they are ready if there are bad things such as world war, and also many Russian companies expand to other countries so that becomes a good bargaining value.

Did the countries of Europe and other world powers suddenly want to bring down the Russian economy for no apparent reason? No, this is a fair reaction to the aggression and aggressive wars of Russia itself. Russia has been attacking neighboring states under far-fetched pretexts for decades - Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine in 2014, where it created territorial objects of tension under its control. It seemed to her not enough. Now she has made a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine and unleashed the bloodiest war in Europe since the Second World War. It robs, kills, rapes and terrorizes the civilian population of Ukraine, deliberately destroys schools, hospitals, houses and other civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. Should terrorists and murderers be punished? Of course you do.

Economic sanctions are the most humane way to punish an aggressor country. Their results are not immediate. In Russia, there are certain stocks of sanctioned goods, at first it is possible to partially bypass them. You have to wait a year or two. Where to rush to conclusions? However, their results are already being felt in the Russian Federation. Along with the failures on the fronts of Ukraine, the virtual destruction of the regular army of Russia, the big problems with the mobilization inside Russia, because the army is gone, the sanctions inevitably do their job.

Now Putin is rushing about and does not know how to get out of this war with dignity, he desperately wants to put Ukraine at the negotiating table. But Ukraine has already said that it will not negotiate with Putin the killer, it will only talk with his successor and on Ukraine's terms. By the end of October there should be good news for Ukraine on the southern front. After that, the Putin regime should crumble ...

They should but not by other "terrorists and murderers". Don't pretend that what Europe and other "world powers" are doing to Russia is because they invaded Ukraine. It is not. They don't give a crap about Ukraine any of the things you listed here, if they did and were worried about "a country invading other countries for no reasons" they should start with NATO countries and more specifically United States that has invaded, destroyed and directly or indirectly murdered millions of people all for reasons like free oil, exerting geopolitical power, etc.

I am Ukrainian and I talk about what is happening in my country. In this case, Putin and his soldiers are ordinary murderers and there is no excuse for them. And at the same time, all the citizens of Russia are accomplices, who support the war in Ukraine by more than 70 percent. As for the countries of the European Union, they realized that if Putin is not stopped in Ukraine, then he will go further and get to them. Therefore, they have an instinct for self-preservation. It is easier for them to provide Ukraine with weapons and weaken Russia with the hands of Ukrainians than to fight the Russians themselves later. The same is true with sanctions.

This day was foreseeable ever since the 90's where they disarmed you and you guys celebrated that event. Today Ukraine has to beg for missiles with a range higher than 300 km.

Strategist say we have 3 threats: military, political and social. When you lose all 3, all is lost.
They first disarmed you so the military threat became real that day.
Then it was the social threat where domestic disagreements among people turns into hatred and polarizes the society. That too happened in Ukraine.
Finally it was the political threat with coups, colored revolutions and finally installing a non-politician (ie. a celebrity in entertainment business) at the highest political position who is just playing the part.

They did the same to a lot of countries, like Iraq: disarmament, polarization, hatred towards the administration and finally invasion. An invasion that Ukraine was a part of by the way...

As for the countries of the European Union, they realized that if Putin is not stopped in Ukraine, then he will go further and get to them. Therefore, they have an instinct for self-preservation.

Umm did you just justify Russian invasion of Ukraine? LOL
Russia is saying the exact same thing for what they are doing: "NATO has been expanding eastward and therefor they have an "instinct for self-preservation" and had to act", as they claim.

Ukraine was not disarmed. Considering that Ukraine, being in the center of Europe, did not see the threat of a military invasion and was among friendly states (Russia was seen as a brotherly people), it was decided to abandon the third largest nuclear potential in the world and even get rid of the missiles that it transferred Russia. In exchange for this, the Budapest Memorandum secured security guarantees from the leading states, including Russia.

Russia treacherously violated this agreement, and now the missiles transferred to it by Ukraine are being fired at the territory of Ukraine. In this regard, Ukraine has the right to demand that the guarantor countries of the Budapest Memorandum provide it with weapons to protect its territory from an attack by another guarantor of its security - the Russian Federation. Of course, Ukraine will draw a conclusion in relation to its neighbor Russia and decisively break partnership relations with it for many generations. If you want to rejoice at the treachery and betrayal of Russia, rejoice. Ukraine will survive this difficult period for it. But whether the Russian Federation will survive it and whether it will retain its current territories - we'll see. As a result of this war, Russia has become very weak: Ukraine has already destroyed almost all of i professional army Russia. This will be used by the peoples living in Russia and which the Kremlin kept in obedience only by threats and force of arms.

Yesterday the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, at the request of representatives of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, recognized its independence. Dagestanis, Bashkirs, peoples of Siberia and the Far East begin to fight for their independence. Russia has always stated that it respects the people's right to self-determination. In any case, this was the case with respect to the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine. Let's see how it will react to similar processes in its territory. Drowning them in blood, as was the case in Chechnya, Russia is not strong enough. And if the indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Far East separate from Russia, its current power will also disappear - the gas and oil that Russia is pumping into them, and to which crumbs are now falling. After all, in the central part of Russia there is no oil and gas of its own.

The threat from Ukraine, if it were to join NATO, is a far-fetched threat. As a result of an open military invasion of Ukraine, Russia's immediate neighbors Sweden and Finland have recently joined NATO and Russia has acquired 1,300 kilometers of direct border with NATO. And what did Russia do? Absolutely nothing. Threatened these countries and calmed down.

[pooya87]

Considering that Ukraine, being in the center of Europe,

Isn't Ukraine at the farthest eastern part of Europe not the center?

In exchange for this, the Budapest Memorandum secured security guarantees from the leading states, including Russia.

That's what they always tell the countries they disarm.
BTW your own politicians have been saying that if they hadn't accepted that disarmament they would have never been invaded in first place.

If you want to rejoice at the treachery and betrayal of Russia, rejoice.

Why would I ever rejoice in that?!!

Ukraine will survive this difficult period for it.

Iraq survived the NATO invasion too but the point I was trying to make was that it could have been avoided very easily if Ukraine had a politician instead of a celebrity. All it took was not planning to join NATO and not letting US colonize Ukraine. A real politician would have received benefits from both sides threatening each with joining the other side if they didn't comply. Meanwhile kept independence and increase self reliance, specially in military field.

But whether the Russian Federation will survive it and whether it will retain its current territories - we'll see.

NATO survived after they lost a lot over the past 2 decades in all their invasions so...

The threat from Ukraine, if it were to join NATO, is a far-fetched threat.

NATO has been a serious security threat for a lot of countries all around the world.
Taiwan is a good example that has turned into a national security threat for China and they keep insisting on pushing them into a similar proxy war with China.
Azerbaijan is another example where NATO has turned into a very serious national security threat. Not only they are destabilizing our our north west borders with the number of terrorists they are arming there (same terrorists who were part of ISIS) but they are threatening to literary wipe out Armenia from the maps one region at a time.

As a result of an open military invasion of Ukraine, Russia's immediate neighbors Sweden and Finland have recently joined NATO

They haven't joined yet, they are basically "invitees".

A resident of Israel, Syoma, calls to his historical homeland in Ukraine, to the city of Odessa, to his friend Monet:
- Monya, what do you have there in Odessa?
- Yes, Russia is fiercely at war with NATO
- Well, how are you doing?
- Russia lost a cruiser, 65,000 soldiers, 250 planes, 2,500 tanks and some other little things.
- What about NATO?
— Oh, Syoma, you won't believe it, NATO hasn't arrived yet.

Apart from the United States and Turkey, none of the other NATO members even have a combat ready army. And the chances of NATO sending a large number of soldiers to Ukraine are low. They will provide weapons and funds, and that too for a limited duration. Russian and Ukrainian people will continue dying (both soldiers and civilians). And BTW, if Russia has lost 65,000 on their side so far, then the losses on the other side would be at least 2x of that number. Because even now in the artillery department Russia has an advantage.

To defeat the fake "second army of the world", and in the group, which included the most combat-ready units, it was enough for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the formations of the Territorial Defense of Ukraine Russia? At the same time, these disposable bodies are told that they have nothing to provide, they demand to buy socks, underpants and pa-baaam, TAMPAX and WOMEN'S sanitary pads (!!!!!) Do you know what for? Don't cry! In order to close bullet wounds and bleeding  

Maybe you want to say fake? I will immediately give you a link to the original entry from one military unit of "Great Russia"

Russian and Ukrainian people will continue dying (both soldiers and civilians). And BTW, if Russia has lost 65,000 on their side so far, then the losses on the other side would be at least 2x of that number.

Yeah, so you also don’t know the theory of warfare ?! And he tries to invent a "beautiful picture" on the go!

It's okay, I'll give you training here, I'm already used to it
Remember: The attacking side (aggressor, terrorist, i.e. Russia), suffer losses, in manpower and equipment at least 3 times more than the side carrying the defense. Those. For every 1 defender, there are 3 attackers.
How does this apply to combat sanitary irretrievable losses - losses that are the direct result of hostilities.
As for the wounded, it is already a little worse here: 1:4-1:5, this is again connected with the theory of warfare.

Well, the truth is, if "heroic Russia" will "heroically" and habitually shoot civilians / women, the elderly, children - then here they are "victorious heroes". The Russian army, as practice has shown, can more or less effectively fight only against the unarmed and with its noticeable quantitative superiority. This has been proven in Ukraine!

Not that simple. Russia captured around 20% of the Ukrainian land in the first few days of the offensive. Then Russia concentrated their offensive in the Donbass region, where the Ukrainians themselves admitted that Russian artillery is 10x more numerous when compared to their own. And for the last 2-3 months, Ukraine has been on the offensive, especially in the Kharkov and Kherson regions (where they have captured around 10,000 sq.km of territory). Now going by your own theory, Ukrainian losses should be 3x that of Russia.

As a resident of Ukraine, I will tell you how it really is. Since 2014, when the terrorist country attacked Ukraine, up to the peak of the seizure of Ukraine - March 2022, these vile rashists have occupied up to 25% of the territory of Ukraine. It was, I can confirm. Why this happened is another question.

But the objective reality is this - today, almost 50% of the territory of Ukraine previously occupied by international terrorists, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already returned under the control of Ukraine, having defeated the combat-ready grouping of the terrorist army. Terrorists for March-October 2022 lost:
-5200 armored vehicles (38% of the terrorists in service)
-2570 tanks (78% of the terrorists in service)
-1650 artillery systems (29% of those in service with terrorists)
-269 strike aircraft (20% of the terrorists in service)
-240 combat helicopters (25% of those in service with terrorists)

Manpower - more than 60 thousand corpses and about 200 thousand wounded ... But who will count them, as they say in Russia, "women still give birth"

Can you refute something?

[Sithara007]

~~~
Can you refute something?

My question was about the Ukrainian casualties. Still, I am not sure whether the 65,000 figure that you had given for Russia is close to reality. BBC Russian has given a figure of 8,000 confirmed deaths. I assume it will be much higher, because a lot of soldiers are listed as missing, and many of them were affiliated with PMC Wagner and other militia for whom the numbers will never be added to the official tally. Still 65K? Suspicious.

Ukraine on the other hand has a population of around 40 million right now and can't sustain with huge number of casualties. The Ukrainian government hasn't given any official figures for their own casualties since the start of the conflict. And now they are going on the offensive. In regions such as Kherson, where the terrain is flat, the attackers are going to face huge losses in manpower and equipment. And this is where Ukraine is concentrating their offensive.

[DrBeer]

Of course, Russia is the most likely contender for the title of "world superpower". It remains only to solve the problem with the payment of firewood for the mobilized residents of Russia ))

Yes Yes. That's right - in the country richest in resources, with the squeals of propaganda that the EU will be heated with firewood, in Russia I "compensate" those mobilized with firewood and tickets ... to ZZOPARK! And at the same time there are still unsolvable problems Greatness in Russian - looks a little different than on the channels of propagandists!

"15:47 The families of those mobilized in Buryatia cannot receive the firewood promised by the authorities. This was stated by the head of the republic, Alexei Tsydenov himself.

“I talked to the guys. They had no questions regarding provision and preparation. There were questions more domestic and to ourselves. For the issuance of firewood,” Tsydenov (ER) said in his telegram channel after a meeting with the mobilized, who had already been taken to Zaporozhye. - That the rules that we adopted are not the best and many of the relatives cannot get firewood. Let's change the rules."

Regional authorities previously promised 10 cubic meters of firewood to one family and 20 "cubes" in territories equivalent to the regions of the Far North - up to 20 cubic meters. In Tuva, for the mobilized authorities, families are given a sheep, in Yakutsk they promised a set of vegetables, in Novosibirsk - free tickets to the zoo.

If all the nato members contribute 10% of their regular armed forces it will be as big as Ukraine total armed forces right now. There is a very low chance that NATO will send troops directly but there are already soldiers from NATO members country fighting in the war. What causes most of the problem for russian armed forces is the intelligence that NATO countries provided to ukraine.
