Will Russia Emerge As The Next Dominant Superpower

[DrBeer]

Russia is already a super power but its still not as huge as US since they don't have military bases every country in the world. But they proved to be economically prepared than the US economic sanction has put together.

I would however turn to China being the dominant super power since they have already made lots of countries on their side through their Belt and Road Initiative project and as of now, they have BRICS. This alliance had invited poor countries in South America which could turn to military alliance actually like Venezuela. Today, they've cemented the Solomon Island to be an ally which Australia had been very angry since its pretty much a security breach for them.

Russia and China have developed a thriving partnership based in part on their shared interest in undermining the United States.

Amazing news from an alternate reality! )))
1. China took the side of Western sanctions. Not as active as the US, the EU, but also introducing restrictions - in the banking / financial sector, limiting the supply of high-tech equipment.
2. China uses Russia as its cheap, cover, raw material appendage - the price of Russian oil and gas, China is not set by Russia, but by China
3. The Chinese President, in a recent meeting with the President of the United States, spoke about a bipolar world, where the poles are the United States and China. There is no place for Russia in this world for China.

what is the source of these news?
China is not set by Russia but China - what does that mean?
Does that mean China sets their own rule and go with them?

LOL... all the best for a bipolar world with the United States and China at opposite ends. In that case, China is admitting that they view the US as their number one threat. And things are not helped by needless American intervention in Taiwan (Pelosi's drama a few months back?). There is enough demand for Russian raw materials around the world. Indian importers have recently faced stiff competition for oil, gas, fertilizer and wheat from Russia, because there is so much demand from the other countries (Pakistan, Indonesia.etc).

We are not at war with the Palestinians. We are at war with terrorists and their accomplices who want to destroy us.

It is interesting how you defend Russian invasion and occupation of special operation in Ukraine. They say the same exact thing that they aren't at war with Ukrainians, they are just fighting terrorists and are denazifying the region.

They think they are the biggest advocate of peace while they are destorying the peace of the world in half the world  -starting from Iraq - Iran- Afghanistan - Palestine Serya and they are actually in favour of peace - I fail to understand what kind of peace they are making? But invading the weak nation.

There are a lot of sources: read Chinese resources about financial bans on working with Russian banks and their lending. Read Chinese news about the exit from the market of critical suppliers of high-tech systems (Huawei and others)

The rest I had in mind is that China sets the price for Russian gas and oil, forcing Russia to do what is beneficial to China. Because China is well aware that from 2023 Russian resources, Russia itself will be forced to sell for a penny. And this means that China will further reduce the price of gas and oil that it buys in Russia. And Russia will dutifully fulfill all the orders of China!

Well, if you decide to pretend that you don’t understand simple truths, I’ll explain to you, it’s not difficult for me, I spent a lot of time teaching the people of Russia, even such simple things
1. Terrorism is a deliberate, politically motivated violence committed against the civilian population or objects by federal-level subnational groups or clandestine agents and organizations, usually with the aim of influencing the public mood.

2. By the nature of the subject of terrorist activity, terrorism is divided into:

Unorganized or individual (lone terrorism) - in this case, a terrorist attack (less often, a series of terrorist attacks) is carried out by one or two people who are not behind any organization

Organized, collective - terrorist activities are planned and carried out by some organization

Terrorism is divided into:

National - pursues separatist or national liberation goals;
Religious - may be associated with the struggle of adherents of religion among themselves

Ideologically given, social - pursues the goal of radical or partial change in the economic or political system of the country, drawing public attention to any acute problem.

I hope it became clear to you that the goals voiced by the Kremlin bastard are nothing but Organized, collective, National, Ideologically given, social TERRORISM. And this means that your arguments are primitive, an attempt to JUSTIFY TERRORISM and VIOLENCE. Think. As history shows, by supporting terrorism, you yourself become a participant in lawlessness, and very often, as a result, you become a Victim of what you supported. Here in December-January - they will collect another group of weak-willed, stupid bodies, who will be sent "in one direction", and parents / wives / children will soon receive tens of thousands of bags with the postures of their children, husbands, parents .... And if you , like many Russian men, you can’t cowardly hide from mobilization - most likely in the near future your life will not cost a penny, and will be very short

They (Putin) are actually saying Ukraine isn't a country, and never has been, it's always belonged to Mother Russia and therefor doesn't have the right to determine it's own future.

The US is the one who has been trying to steal Ukraine from both, Ukraine and Russia. Such subtle CIA coups since 2014. Zelensky, the nothing puppet. Let him direct his affairs as he wants. He has proven he doesn't have any strength without the US.

What the Russians are doing with the civilian population of Ukraine is increasingly convincing the West of the need to destroy Russia. This bloody monster from the era of lizards has no place in the modern world.

Why are you so much against Russia. Even if you say they don't have any place for them in modern - this would not change the fact that Russia is a powerful state and they have moved the world in last few months. And they will keep showing their strength like USA and China and Isreal in coming days

I think it's pretty clear that the world, including Putin, has been over estimating Russias military capabilities up until last Spring.  Nobody thought Ukraine had a chance in the first days of the war when the question was not if but how long it would take Kiev to fall.  The days of Russia military invoking images of Stalins red army are over - even though they seem to be using a lot of the same equipment.

ukraine got so much support for EU - but there is so much damage going on in Palestine and there was so much damage done in Afghanistan after 20 years of war.
The killing and power show will continue and it will last forever.

russian firing dummy missile to wear down Ukraine air defence - ukraine is bracing for more attacks
In Fact the diplomats of Ukraine are getting strange letters. they mentioned that there were parts of animals in those envelope - one mentioned there was a cow eyes in one letter and in other they mentioned there was a pig eye. What are Russians trying to give messages to the diplomats.

The satellite photo shots of Ukraine blackouts from electricity failures done by Russian missiles, are showing the US that they better get serious pretty soon. If they don't, Russia will take Ukraine back. If they (the US) do get serious, they threaten the world with WW3.

The US and Europe have pumped almost $100 billion into Ukraine, in arms and money. It makes you wonder what is really going on over there since Russia has been able to thwart this amount of money and armament.

Of course, a lot of the money was laundered back to US government people, etc. And some of Zelensky's people have bought themselves mansions in Switzerland. So, that accounts for some of it.

But the life is going on - I have seen a documentary and people are going to salons and getting hair cut - although they are tired and upset but they are maintaining their lives.
Russia should stop bombing on innocent people and fight on the borders face to face with soldiers.

You don't take over a country that has a functioning military by terrorizing civilians.  You have to defeat the military.
Russia is knocking out the electricity for innocent civilians because they can't knock out the Ukrainian military and have been losing ground since the end of Summer.

You don't seem to understand that civilians actively supporting their military in times of war, have made themselves part of the war.

In the Ukraine past, the Ukraine troops hid themselves among the civilians in the hopes that Russia would avoid harming the civilians, and thereby not harm the troops. And it worked to a very great extent.

Russia is still not attacking civilians directly - sure, there are accidents that happen. But that doesn't stop the Ukraine military. Rather, they continue to fight so that Russia has to turn to new tactics. The tactics include taking out the electricity.

Does Ukraine care about its civilians? They keep right on fighting like they don't care. Make peace with Russia and live. Or, maybe the civilians don't care one way or the other, and it is only the US media trying to spin sympathy stories.

Besides, when stuff like the following is happening, we see that even the US doesn't care about Ukraine civilians...

You don't seem to understand that it's wrong to attack civilians.  

Putin is literally just raining drones and bombs on villages hundreds of miles away from the front line hoping to knock out all of their power so that they will freeze during the winter.  He's trying to pull a Stalin on the people who's great grandparents were starved to death for the same reasons Putin is trying to kill them today.

There is no moral justification you will ever be able to come up with for that.  Doesn't matter what those people believe in, which country they support, what religion they are or what color their skin is.  It's wrong to attack civilians at all, much less make a campaign out of it.

You don't seem to understand that Russia is at war with the US. If the CIA hadn't done their election coup in 2014 and following, and then pushed Ukraine to start destroying Russian and Ukrainian civilians and their property in the Donbas area in Ukraine, Russia would never have done their police action.

There is no moral justification for the US to stick its nose into Russian and Ukrainian affairs to take over the Slavic areas of the world... which it has vowed to do in various writings, and talked about in speeches for decades.

If the US were gone, Zelensky would cave in and surrender, and the fighting would be over. But no! Let's see how many more $billions we can send into Ukraine to keep this war alive, and to make it into a World War.

So, you see that it is the US and Europe causing the deaths of Ukrainians, and using Russia to do the dirty work for them. However, Russia is being as careful as it can to avoid harming civilians who aren't fighting Russia through their civilian status.
