LOL bias

Russian Military News, Reports, Data, etc.

to those kibitzing on Russia here:

you should know 1866 lines (yes, from even before the Bolshevik revolution which had happened exactly 100 years ago)
Умом Россию не понять,
Аршином общим не измерить:
У ней особенная стать —
В Россию можно только верить.

LOL tough to translate so I now used yandex to find the English version (credit goes to )

For the insight of Russia you should not use your brain.
And measurement of Russia in common yards is vain.
It has a very special and very unique gist...
A great belief in Russia you ought just to persist!

Russia will remain in a terrible rut for at least the coming decade. Even China's economic support cannot help much with the US destroying the Russian economy with their sanctions and lowered oil prices. Choice is to play nice with US and perhaps become a vassal one day. Russians have too much pride and potential to do this, so we can be certain there is no recovery for Russia anytime soon. Many of its best and brightest understandably leave the country for western Europe, North America, and even Asia. As long as this dynamic continues, there is no hope for the economy or the military complex. They are already buying foreign ships and even Chinese engines. There is little investment into these high tech fields and we are already seeing the results. They will become only more obvious in coming decades but propaganda will make people believe it's all good.

There is no balance of power. USA reigns absolute supreme despite China and Russia's best efforts at defending themselves against encroachment. Less hope for Russia because it's been a bigger target for the US for the last few decades. More attention will turn to undermining China in coming decades as Russia is considered finished by then.

Nothing is permanent, you should know that. The Romans rose and fell, the British it was the same, as was the Soviet Union. America is no different. It's a simple law of physics, what goes up, must come down. $20 trillion in debt, one has to live in fantasy land to believe that America has absolute power. Petroleum dollar is steadily losing its place as the preeminent currency in the world. Chinese Yuan is positioned to replace the dollar in trade for China in procurement of oil. Russia-China trade has increased phenomenally and Russian trade with other countries has increased considerably, ever since the sanctions were imposed.

Those who are over confident about American dominance reigning supreme over the world. Have a very narrow understanding of how the world works. More and more countries around the world have come to the realization that there whole segments of Western policies and processes which have been exposed over the past few decades. Like the "Economic Hit Men" that destroyed Central and South American economies. Regime changes based contrived elections, protests, hyper inflation and bribing corrupt politicians. It's a never ending list. As these revelations set in, countries around the world have understood that what "appears to be, is not" and that scandals are used to divert public attention from the truth. Both at home and abroad.

One of the best examples of the demise of Western hegemony is "RT" (Russia Today). A single News Network which demonstrated the ability to bring news to the world based challenging the narrative towed by all major Western News Networks. Vast swathes of population within the North American and European continents have started comparing the western media narrative with what RT is saying and made their own conclusion that things don't add up when it comes to the likes of CNN, BBC, FOX, SKY, CNBC & etc. Not discounting the African and Asian continents, where more and more countries and their populations are now tuning into RT, rather than CNN etc.

I mean really!!! One channel managed to project the thinking of "question more" in minds of major populations in the west! If that's not a clear sign of weakening hegemony of the West, than what is?

Crimea was taken back with lightning speed, as a result of direct meddling of Ukrainian internal affairs by foreign powers. And none of the Western powers were able to prevent it from happening. Also, when the Western military was gearing up for "another Libya" in Syria. All it took was half a dozen Russian Navy destroyers and frigates to park up off the Syrian coast. And woala, no more Libya in Syria. In fact Russian intervention led to the destruction of this "Impostor Caliphate". Due to Russian intervention in Syria, the fact that ISIS was predominantly Wahhabi-Salafi by origin, was exposed. Saudi elites (not government) were forced to withdraw support of ISIS and began to distance themselves from these murdering dogs.

Russia's actions gave way to actual investigative journalism. Where a Bulgarian journalist, embedded in Syria since the start of the ISIS madness. Traced weapons supplies running from Bulgaria to Azerbaijan, using Azerbaijani aircraft (Silk Airways). Under the protection of these flights being "Diplomatic." Smuggled Bulgarian manufactured weapons to Syria via Azerbaijan, purchased PMC companies and ended up with ISIS.

Let's face the facts, shall we. The world to is multi-polar. The days of America being a superpower are gone. Don't get me wrong, the American people from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and earlier were among the most respected and admired in the world. They were admired for their standing up for moral reasons and fighting for the little guy. But the last half century, it is successive American administrations which have betrayed the American people and the world. This is precisely the reason why, today America's standing in the world has diminished considerably and it's not gonna improve, like ever.

So yes, they may have slowed Russia down. But they wouldn't be able to stop Russia from becoming stronger. As Russia has demonstrated to the world how a "responsible" power conducts itself before the world. And China is demonstrating the same before the world.

you know little about geopolitics too little, Russia has something that you will never understand but i told you too much, remember this China culturally never will reign, Russia is forever Christian, its independence is sure, its technology will remain, the west ruled thanks to Christianity, one day the USA will realize they are Christian too, something in common with Russia and guess what? Europe never will let China enter in the middle east and west of Urals, the West will join forces with Russia, remember the USA is an ally of Russia despite it looks an enemy the USA will never invade Russia because they have a common culture

A day will come soon enough when Russia will know who is really its true friend and who is not. If you read history, it would reveal the truth.

And who might that be? Stop talking in riddles.

The world doesn't see Russian as a benign or benevolent power. Nor does it see the US as one, rightfully so. I just don't buy into this Russia will usurp the throne and become supreme superpower. That dream is long dead for Russia.

Now I finally feel it to be a proper Russian thread.
Kitchen geopolitics at their best.

Nah! it shows up on radar like New York City at night, LOL.. yes its fast, yes it carries a nice load, but it will be a missile magnate, its not a serious threat to a 5 gen Air Force, but to second tier players, yes its bad A. LOL

It's interceptor, not a fighter.
And, unlike it's Alaskan competitors, it actually can intercept intended targets in time.
American bombers, of course, not some serious 5th gen airforce. ;-)

You hardly understand the west, and hardly understand Russia, a society without spirituality decays, i have seen that in Japan, I know why Japan never became a true super power, materialistic societies only fed on money and materialistic views decay in their own filth, Rome was one, the Soviet Union one, that is the reason now Russia is going to its Christian past, does not matter if they have Su-57 or Typhoon Submarines or aircraft carrier people do not live upon those things, people get tired of wars, of being empty in their souls, of a life without sense, Christianity in Russia will boom, and China will be next, does not matter what weapons they have, nationalism, racism, militarism and even consumerism do not satisfy people, who cares about Armata or Su-57, at the Chinese and Russians will understand spirituality, and will come to their senses and the same will be the West, and the people only follow militarism when their lives are empty and can not empathize with fellow human beings, and the Chinese nationalism is the same, all nationalism are in one or other form disguised fascism, and my Christian brothers in China, will grow, in fact you do not know it the fastest Church growth is in China, and Russia will shine not for its weapons but its spirituality, not by Flankers but by the way they love their fellow men

Had you read my post carefully, then you would've known that I never said Russia would become some "Supreme Super Power," ruling the world by itself. Don't attribute your words and claim them to be mine, that's a rookie mistake. You must have "selective reading" to have conveniently skipped the part where I said that we live in a "Multi-Polar" world.

What I did say, however, was that America is no longer the sole super power in the world.

As for the "riddle" remark. The comment was meant specifically for b787 and other Russian members, no one else. Hence the cryptic nature of the message.

But you're more than welcome to try and decipher it. Just don't expect any help from me bud.

That second paragraph wasn't a response to your statements. That should have been more than obvious to you since the only person to claim future Russian glory is B787. It was obviously for his benefit. Only the first paragraph was meant for you. I'm not going to try and decipher your moronic riddles. I merely called them out in the hopes you would reveal this magical buddy of Russia we all seem to be missing and unaware of. Learn to read and think.
