Will Russia Emerge As The Next Dominant Superpower

[YUriy1991]

I think it is too early to say who will emerge as the dominant superpower. The future is a broad concept, so we'll have to see if this actually happens or not. What is important now?? is how to get out of the current economic and financial crisis.

I agree and it's better to think about getting out of the current economic crisis first,
that's much more important and surely it's also not something easy,
I hope that the economic conditions will improve in the near future even though it is actually difficult

You hear, you are a stupid fascist, Ukraine will be, do not doubt it, and the Kuban will be Ukrainian territory, but you will no longer be, you are on the black list.

LOL.. I should be really frightened now since I am on the blacklist.  

I asked some legitimate questions and you resorted to name calling, since you don't have any valid answer. How is conquering Kuban any different from Russia's current invasion of Ukraine? And at least in Russia's case they can claim that the vast majority of the population in regions they have annexed till now are Russian-speaking. The same is not true with Kuban. Less than 0.1% of the population there speak Ukrainian. And obviously everyone will be a fascist if they disagree with what you are saying. ROFL.

When in Russia, due to a military defeat in Ukraine, everything becomes very bad and the country will fall apart into separate "republics", in the Kuban they may remember that they are the descendants of the Ukrainian Zaporizhzhya Cossacks, who moved to the Kuban after the Zaporozhian Sich on the orders of Catherine II was defeated by the troops of Suvorov, who was returning from the Italian campaign. Therefore, it is quite possible that the Kuban itself will ask to become part of Ukraine and for this they will remember the Ukrainian language, otherwise Ukraine simply will not take them. Believe that after that the majority in Kuban will speak Ukrainian.

Two countries partnering up right now to bring the war in Us soil just near Alaska. Its China and Russia where their ships are already very close to US, doing military exercises. Why do you think they are challenging US right now?

US had always been creating conflict and wars to countries far away from them, so the two wanna find out what US would do if the war happens on their soil. You can tell us whether China and Russia are not dominant superpower with what they are doing.

China already declared war on US as a retaliation for Opium Wars that ruined their country many years ago in form of a new Opium War where US is the target this time.
The amount of fentanyl China is shipping towards United States to be used by drug cartels has increased significantly while the drug-abuse crisis in US is getting worse.

So better mind your own business - each country official should care for their people and stop worrying about other people - that is one way to save their face.

It is easy to say so, but it is impossible to achieve such thing. As you have noticed, countries around the world are not identical. Neither their natural resources are either. Everything is imbalanced and some countries are in better positions than others. This causes unions (trading and political) between countries to appear. And from that we all have obligations towards others and a must "to worry about other people".

[Wind_FURY]

Hahaha! That's a funny quote. But I'm only speaking out of what I've read from history books. Perhaps in times of peace, being of friend of the the United Stares is fatal, but in times of war, it's a friend that you truly need. Those countries have always helped each other during times of war, and I don't believe that will change.

That's even more true in times of war. Take World War 2 for example, the Americans didn't even get involved in it for the first 3 years, and only came in until the Axis showed both capability and will to attack US mainland.

Even during these days where 3 wars are going on (energy, food and the armed conflict in Ukraine) US is seeking its own benefits and is using EU (the "friends") instead of helping them. They sometimes even use them as cannon fodder like Australia and Taiwan against China, South Korean against North Korea, etc.

It's probably because the United States of America was also worried about another "Empire" from the East, Japan, which was also having its own expansion of its war in Asia which also included China. We can't point fingers why they were late  in entering World War II, but the probability is high that the war would have taken longer than 6 or 7 years without the Americans. Or it might also have given the Axis Forces a better probability to win.

I just read news about the Ukranian advances today and this makes me wonder if Ukranie would try to recover Crimea as fast as possible in case they manage to clear the rest of their territory of Russian soldiers.
I am not sure whether it is true or not but I have read Crimea has become a stronghold for the separatist cells and there must be an important number of Russian Units there to protect those "Autonomous Republics" the Klemlin proclaimed not long ago.

Another potential but unlikely escenario would be Ukraine trying to return the favor to Russia and annex some land, hopefully not that would definitely scale the conflict, imo.

Ukraine has declared that it will retake all territories occupied by Russia, including the Crimean peninsula. In September, the Armed Forces of Ukraine almost completely liberated the Kharkiv region, which is approximately 9,000 square kilometers. There are great successes on the eastern front. Since the end of September, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have also counterattacked the Russians in the south, where the most combat-ready part of the Russian army, numbering approximately 25,000, was pressed against the Dnieper River. These are practically the remnants of the regular Russian army that invaded Ukraine in February. Russia already has neither the strength nor the ability to help this encircled grouping, and they are methodically destroyed by precise strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on command posts, warehouses, accumulations of manpower and equipment. Because of this, mobilization has been announced in Russia, but Russia cannot even clothe and provide the mobilized with everything necessary.
So over time, Crimea will definitely be Ukrainian again.

If turnips were watches, I'd wear one by my side.
If "ifs" and "ands" were pots and pans,
There'd be no work for tinkers' hands.

I understand that Ukraine has achieved some major victories in the Kharkov and Kherson region. But don't forget that 4 of the Ukrainian oblasts are still partly or fully controlled by Russia (in addition to Crimea). First show that these regions can be reconquered, and after that we can talk about the Kuban region. 300,000 fresh troops are being redirected to the Ukrainian front after partial mobilization. It needs to be seen whether the Ukrainian armed forces can fully withstand this huge force, once they are fully deployed.

Ukraine is not yet going to win back some parts of the territory of Russia. She has enough of her territories. I mentioned the Kuban only in the sense that when national liberation movements begin in Russia itself and entire regions secede from the Russian Federation as separate republics, the territories of present-day Russia that adjoin or are located close to Ukraine may themselves want to join Ukraine. Of course, for such events to mature in Russia, it takes a certain amount of time.

As for the "partially mobilized" Russians, in Ukraine they expect that there may not be 300 thousand, but up to about 1.2 million people. But such a mobilization is likely to create more problems for Russia itself than for Ukraine. So far, such mobilized people complain that they have to buy clothes and equipment themselves and big problems in everything else. Russia tried through Turkey in third countries to buy 200,000 body armor and 500,000 sets of winter uniforms for its mobilized, but was refused. More than 2,000 of these mobilized have already applied for special telephones in Ukraine in order to surrender to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The mobilized have no desire to die for Putin's imperial ambitions in Ukraine.

At this point, Russia and it's allies have only around 160,000 soldiers in Ukraine. The new additions will increase that amount by 3x, and partially eradicate the manpower advantage that Ukraine had on the ground. As per reliable sources, around 700,000 Ukrainian troops are right now on the frontline. Combined with the airpower and artillery advantage, this will create issues for Ukraine during the winter war. And regarding the surrenders, far more Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered to the Russians, than vice versa.

RUSSIA is a big country that has a lot of potential to become a super power, the economy and military in Russia is so strong that it can make many countries such as Europe and the USA reluctant to Russia, and what is now being done is the invasion of Ukraine as an initial test of whether other countries can act decisively. and the facts as we see.

The only reason why the NATO hasn't bombed Russia till now is because the latter has one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world. That is the difference between Russia, Iran and DPRK on one side, and Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and Libya on the other side. If they had agreed to denuclearize when USSR disintegrated in 1992, then there would be no country called Russia now.

The only reason is that NATO is too weak for any real confrontation with any actual military force despite the fake front they show from themselves. This is exactly why they are involved in so many proxy wars. Besides if they could bomb anyone, they would have bombed Iran in 2020 when Iran conducted what Pentagon refers to as "the largest ballistic missile attack on America in history" that left US with over 900 casualties (140 dead).

The main reason why the NATO countries have not yet attacked Russia after its attack on Ukraine is that they see that Ukraine can  defeat Russia militarily with timely help with weapons and financial support. Now the last remnants of the regular Russian army are being successfully destroyed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on all fronts. Of particular interest in this regard is the most combat-ready part of the Russian army in the Kherson region, numbering about 25,000 people, which is surrounded on three sides, and on the fourth side is pressed against the Dnieper River with four broken bridges that the invaders used for supplies.

Today, at about six o'clock in the morning, the Kerch bridge was blown up, which the Russians built to connect the occupied Crimean peninsula with the territory of Russia. Two spans of the automobile part of the bridge fell into the water from the explosion, and the third moved. The explosion set fire to seven fuel tanks, which at that time "accidentally" drove along the railway part of this bridge. Now the invaders cannot supply the occupied south of Ukraine with manpower and equipment. The Russians boasted that this bridge was impregnable for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Now there is panic.

When the war started and there were sanction on Russia - the whole media was predicting that Russian economy is about to collapse
But nothing has happened and Russia emerged as a very powerful state. Do we still doubt thaT?

russia's economy has collapsed, sanctions have begun to operate in full force, oil prices are falling, mobilization has failed, the front has been torn in many places, russia is undergoing a total defeat.
but you believe the putler that everything is fine, the reality is completely different.

tand that Ukraine has achieved some major victories in the Kharkov and Kherson region. But don't forget that 4 of the Ukrainian oblasts are still partly or fully controlled by Russia (in addition to Crimea).

russia actually lost this war, but you are so stupid that you completely believe putin's propaganda and don't want to see obvious things...
you are a stupid zombie fascist and you have to live with it...

[Vinaa77]

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 is now suffering defeat on all fronts of Ukraine and is retreating under the onslaught of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Failing to achieve success at the front, the Russians launch missile strikes and actively use attack drones to destroy critical infrastructure and densely populated cities.

So, yesterday, on October 10, Russia launched a massive attack on 18 peaceful cities of Ukraine, launching more than a hundred cruise missiles. 43 of them were shot down by Ukrainian air defense. According to Forbes, Moscow spent about $400-700 million on strikes on Ukraine in half a day. The missiles hit a thermal power plant, a playground, asphalt on the roadway, cars with people, museums, hospitals, residential buildings.
The Kremlin acknowledged these strikes, and the Russian Defense Ministry stated that the purpose of the strikes had been achieved, all designated targets had been hit.

From a military point of view, these strikes do not matter. Due to the fact that the Russians are unable to detect and neutralize Ukrainian mobile air defenses, out of impotence, they are using their usual tactics of intimidating the civilian population.

seems that they are desperate now on how to defeat ukraine. however, from the looks of it, ukraine is indeed not backing down with this battle. remember, russia is a big country and yet, they can't defeat this small country. translating the notion that russia is not the superpower country that it portrays it to be. if they do have more than enough weapon and other resources, this war should have been ended a long time ago. so i don't think russia will be the next dominant superpower, because this war alone, they couldn't show it.

Well.. it is not a simple Russia vs Ukraine battle. Now it has grown to Russia vs NATO battle. With every passing day, more and more modern weaponry from the NATO ends up in Ukraine. And a large part of the Ukrainian soldiers are now being trained in NATO nations. There are thousands, if not tens of thousands of foreign volunteers fighting on the Ukrainian side. On the other hand, the Russian side is fighting on their own. Despite numerous rumors, they haven't received any inflow of foreign weapons or volunteers.

A little about the "greatest army of Russia", with which she "single-handedly fights NATO"
1. Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using fairly simple weapons such as Jevelins and NLOVs, have destroyed a significant part of the WORKING equipment of Russia. Without the involvement of weapons such as HYMARS and the like.
2. Russia is forced to actually attract thousands and tens of thousands of mercenaries from other countries. It's fixed, it's a fact.
3. In Ukraine at the moment, there are foreign combatants, but firstly they officially serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and secondly there are only hundreds of them.
4. A month ago, "great advanced Russia", barely begged for a UAV from .. IRAN
5. Failed to beg for shells and missiles from ... NORTH KOREA

And you can continue to amuse yourself with a NEW fairy tale from the losing, fake army of Russia, as well as fake Russia itself
