Future Russian army could deploy anywhere in the world – in 7 hours

sure all of the things u wrote in yr post is true and i also as well as any sane person will accept that reality, but but the point is for how LONG! This is what i have shown is just tip of the iceberg my friend, if i include the georgian crisis, ukrain crisis, syrian crisis, denuclearize and balkanization of my country, iran, china, india and so on in all these scenarios u have apparently failed to achieve yr goals. Politically speaking yr influence has waged a lot. And now this financial system which may introduce the new and revolutionary standards in the world will further decrease yr influence. The most Key element in yr influence was the grip u have over the global financial system in such a way that u set the standards for others to follow. That may not be the same anymore. Plus this Bank and the joining of yr some of the closest allies is just one step ahead for yr competitors, next step will be to introduce an alternative currency since if im not wrong all BRICS members have agreed on that. And when that happens many of the third world and other countries who r tied of the IMF, WB policies and yr dollar will likely to go for alternative. Yes yr right that i will still take decades to challenge the dollar but when others may join for alternative then that may not take so long.

What u have written in yr post is what yr today but tomorrow will u improve further or atleast remain same? Thats what i meant by that syndrome i mentioned earlier first sign of it is denial and telling one's self that nothing can chance what im today.

Who managed to rally the Europeans to sanction Russia after the annexation of Crimea? Who rallied Middle Eastern countries to conduct initial strikes on ISIS? The US...
US Army vehicles are currently traveling through Central Europe and the Baltics, and US Navy ships and planes are rotating through countries like Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia.
Yeah, our influence is waning...


As I stated above, the US still dominates financial markets. Our allies joining a bank is largely symbolic at this point. We'll see what comes of it.

The US has proven time and again that it can innovate and better itself. I hope people like you continue to underestimate us.

i have accepted this obvious things, but still these are mainly military things, but politically yr influence is waging....I f i still let go this financial thing even though in my PO V is the key for yr influence then politically yr still not where u used to be, also about militarily yr not the same as u used to be specially after the iraq n afghanistan saga. The regional countries like Pakistan, China, Russia have seen yr performances in afghanistan specially. Now there is a thinking that y r not all that invincible .

But then again its all what yr today in future there is not guarantee,plus in history where u have risen again have been under different geopolitical times and there was not real competitor against u probably russia under Lenin n Stalin but there was none with as might as of China as its today and its industrial and population base.

To say u may recover and become as powerful as u were in 90s is now an outdated idea.

World crises can't get solved today without the intervention of the US. Look at the Ukraine crisis, the US has taken the lead in sanctioning Russia along with its allies, and now Russia's economy is in the gutter. The US has also taken the lead in fights against ISIS and Ebola. These are examples just within the last year.

Iraq and Afghanistan were not "defeats" as you described earlier. In Iraq, the US routed Hussein's military within 3 weeks and then later defeated Al Qaeda in Iraq by 2009. The last couple of years US forces were in Iraq, it was a stable country for the most part. There was the occasional suicide attack, but nothing like it had been a few years prior. It was only when we left, did that country go to hell. We've also accomplished our goals in Afghanistan by overthrowing the Taliban from a position of power and denying core Al Qaeda safe havens to attack us from. It's now up to the governments of Iraq and Afghanistan to take responsibility and lead their countries. Unfortunately, we've already seen Iraqi forces fail in the face of ISIS.


So, is the US a superpower? Without a doubt, and is the only one today. China will challenge the US in some areas, but is unlikely to become an all aspect superpower as the US. It's our civil society and its ability to innovate that gives us our edge. It is unlikely that the US will cease to be a superpower within our lifetimes.

Start of this kind of plane will mean new age of aeronautics with a lot of innovations.
I'm glad if Russians can realise this concept for a cargo plane but is very obviously that plane will be subsonic with some 100-140 tones of load,not more ...

400/40= 10 tonnes a tank?

40 ton tanks in 200ton payload aircraft so that is 5 tanks per aircraft. 5 tanks x 80 aircraft = 400 tanks.

Well as it seems clear that we both cant change eachothers opinions, so lets just agree to disagree. But yes i would really like to see how future unfolds within our lifetimes.
