Except oil and weapon, what things does Russian really have?

One other thing, that I didn't put on my prior lists: The Nuclear ice breaker fleet, the only one in the world capable of navigating to anywhere in the frozen Arctic Sea.

About vodka. It is more of an invention coming from the northern territories, from Finlandia. Russia is big, and various types of drinks are consumed across it. Traditionally, Russians drank mjod (honey), beer and kvas, the fist being alcoholic, the second (almost) non-alcoholic.
If you haven't drunk kvas, you haven't tasted Russia. I can recommend Ochakovo, if you manage to come across it:

Don't forget the typical pre-tale: "я тaм был, мёд-пивo пил, пo ycaм тeклo, дa в poт нe пoпaлo."
"I was there, drank honey and beer, it ran down my moustache, but none ended up in my mouth."

We all see that Russian is really weak in recently oil price crash.
The exchange rate of ruble and the inflation in Russian as follow the  oil price crash imply that Russian is just a third - rate country who depends on selling cheap resources.
After the Soviet Union collapsed, the Economic of Russian growth just benefit from the oil price risen.

A lot of oil and other natural ressources, still large fiat and gold reserves and almost no debt. They raised the interest rate to 17% and the economy was still functionning. What would happen in Japan, US or Europe if the interest rate goes to 17%?

Russia has one thing that no other country in the world has: RESOLVE!

Wow that would be perfect for a brainwallet password.

They have a market that still is fairly new and emerging.

Russia is rich in history, culture and resources.  And much much more.  Russia is a beautiful country.  Unfortunately, they have a nasty habit of expansionism and for some reason (Stockholm syndrome?) those they expand into end up converting into proud Soviets.

But whatever.  Russia has a whole lot going for it but they aren't immune to the foolishness of leaders that tend to gamble and out do their own reach.  Russia needs to be more diplomatic and remember all they history lessons they have taught others.

Largest land mass, unlocked potential, nuclear arms, large natural resource base, geo strategic alliances and despite the EU US boycotts and dispute economic resilience on par with a Western nation, and they can still go to space since the Americans are still riding the Soyuz capsules to the ISS.

Oh and North Korean tourism/debt differences

I don't know what the Russians Officials are going to tell the Russian civilians, including their family and loved ones when the claws of the Empire will fall on their country, taking everything in it's path. This obsession to grow the rmiic is so dangerous. It will cost everything that there is now. Furthermore what's more tragic is the complete inaptitude of certain posters here in realizing it. It appears that in their own illusions they have been trapped. However it appears to me that the Russian patriarchs are committing a grave mistake to take on the USMIIC. the core issue is that as human beings, even if forming a "great" team (bent on using violence against civilians like in Syria, Georgia, Chechenya...) they don't stand against the FORCES they have awaken. Once upon a time human beings could master chess (BootChess is only 487 bytes in size). So dear Russians please tell your great "leaders" to stop now, or at least as fast as possible their hubris. putin like gary, who still can't admit that the game hasn't been mastered by him, because the way he was born, not the way he play (and at a speed that freeze immobility, all moves, all ways, always). 1 or 0, the choice that the Russian faces... it'ain't a game, it's the USMIIC. And what's even more tragic is that there is THE PEACE PROJECT by the USMIIC, but they, the Russian imperialists stand in the path of it. Don't stand in the path of peace, PLEASE.

the thing that Russians, or anyone for the matter should not have, and using force to impose it, is nuclear tactical suit cases. In Short or you work for Annihilation of such terrorists, or you are annihilated. Chips /<3 emp. seriously. btw do they really exist? due to their nature they should leak, and or be able to find. What would the Russian people say if one of those deadly weapon is found in a Russian embassy in a western country... that's the type of relation they want with the rest of the world? high tech terrorists (for Russian scale  ).

As only one GLONASS satellite was ready in time for the launch instead of the expected three, it was decided to launch it along with two mock-ups. The American media reported the event as a launch of one satellite and "two secret objects." For a long time, the Americans could not find out the nature of those "objects".

Ahaha nice trollling

Using their army is even more expensive. I think they would probably quickly run out of resources if they were to invade any major country, especially considering the trade sanctions that has recently been put upon them

I see that the sanctions hype is working for the Western audience, so the main goal is achieved by the US.

Oh, and a newsflash: Russia was not and still is not planning to invade anyone. Even in the face of the American/Nazi aggression in Ukraine, Russia still prefers diplomatic solutions, as was demonstrated by her actions over the last year.

As for resources, see my post above.

They still prefer diplomatic solutions... LoL i must dream ...

Tell me in Donbass who started to take weapons ? Ho yes old soldier high grade from Russian Army ... who is selling weapons to Pro-russian in East of ...

If he wanted so much diplomatics solution ... tell us why he keep so much troop near the border of Ukrainia .... ? You do diplomatic with Army you ?

I know that deny is a sport in russia ... but Crimea has been well INVADED by RUSSIAN litle Green Men .. LoL either Poutine clamied it during the 6 June comemoration ....

So please stop to propagate false information.

Invasion is when you steal a land with army men ....

Beside that Russia has a bunch of cheap whores ... LoL

[Souldream]

They don't need to buy it anywhere, while mining is cheaper than buying.

.... why Poutine would want Gold .... he has already all what he wants ... LoL
