Turkey drops objections to Finland and Sweden joining NATO

Rubles and Yuan......what are two currencies no one wants to own?

BRICS: GDP (PPP) is 51.49 trillion $
G7: GDP (PPP) is 49.37 trillion $
The BRICS is Important if not more important than the G7, more so when other countries join it.
NATO is past its prime and you will learn it the hard way.

Thanks Turkey - but why did you hesitate?



Welcome Finland.





Welcome Sweden.

Unlike Crimea, Taiwan is recognized as part of China by the International community. ...

Austria for example is a historical part of Germany. You are not able to understand the German history without Austria and the Austrian history without Germany. So what? ...

Russia got BRICS plus now with many developing countries joining the new multipolar order.

You and your NATO countries can continue to rott.

Yea….Putin has made Russia more secure

He has not only depleted the Russian military but exposed how weak it is

Now, he has more NATO countries at his border

Russia has a larger army than most EU countries combined and can mobilize over 150 million people if needed while most of the population in Europe is either too old or unfit to serve in the army.
Cant win a war when you dont have enough young people and a collapsing birth rate.

As for the US, only 23% of US youth is qualified for military service. The US even considers lowering the standards for the mentally ill.

We saw what that Russian Army is capable of
NATO let out a sigh of relief

We have also seen what the US Military is capable of doing….by far the best in the world

Yeah, Russia just makes gains in the Donbas while the Ukrainians keep fleeing and getting tired out.

Yeah, we have seen what you are capable of in Vietnam, Syria and Afghanistan. Your army is a joke.
Do you seriously think an army of stunted weaklings with 2 moms is going to stand a chance against Russia or China?

US Military rapidly swept through Iraq and Afghanistan
The hard part was occupying captured territory. Something Russia will find out

The mighty Russian Army went begging for food and supplies against an inferior opponent.
Russia has already had more killed in three months than the U.S. had in 20 years

The US military is well trained, well led, well equipped and motivated.

Something Russia quickly proved incapable of. Lets face it, our women and gays could defeat your best forces

How did that "training" and "equipment" pay off in Afghanistan?

We captured Afghanistan in three weeks
What is taking Russia so long?

Why has Russia suffered more casualties in three months than we did in 20 years?

You didnt capture Afghanistan, you merely overstayed your welcome in Kabul while the Taliban grew their influence over the rest of the country.

Remember Vietnam and how Chinese and USSR backed North Vietnam pushed you out of Saigon?

Yet Russia can't muster more than 200,000 in Ukraine, even after scraping the very bottom of the barrel, and even after importing rapist-mercenaries from Chechnya and Syria.

Russian spec ops forces were pretty much wiped out. That's why Russia had to call in the Wagner Group mercs. They're not doing well either.

Russian strategy is to shell everything into rubble, then send in the cannon fodder. You know, unwilling draftees from Donbass, largely 60-year-old men, and various Russian minority groups that the Russians want to kill off. If the cannon fodder doesn't die, they send in the mercs. If the cannon fodder does die, they'll shell the rubble into smaller rubble. Rinse and repeat. That doesn't seem sustainable. And all it does is gain them some rubble. You can't rape rubble, so it doesn't benefit Russia.

if needed while most of the population in Europe is either too old or unfit to serve in the army.

And Russia is _much_ worse.

As for the US, only 23% of US youth is qualified for military service. The US even considers lowering the standards for the mentally ill.

And Russia is _much_ worse.

We see Ukraine making small advances in the south, and Russia making small advances in the middle. We're also seeing lots of big Russian facilities going "boom" now, as the new Ukrainian artillery comes into service.

PPP? LOL!

What's their real GDP?

Yeah, but they're ill-equipped and poorly trained.

Russia is a leader in that. Probably the vodka.

Let’s compare a modern Super Power like the US to a Paper Tiger like Russia……shall we?

The US launched simultaneous invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq a few months later. We deployed and sustained these invasions from 10,000 miles away. We completed the invasions in a matter of weeks with minimal casualties. More importantly, we maintained 10,000 mile supply lines for twenty years.

Russia has been planning an invasion of Ukraine for decades. Invading across their border, their 40 mile long invasion force ground to a halt within ten days due to a lack of fuel, food and maintenance . Within a month, they had suffered 20,000 casualties and were forced to fall back and regroup.

No one will cross NATO territories to invade Russia, so Russia is more secure.
More troops in Europe will also mean more "defense" costs.

NATO has never had a desire to invade Russia

But given the inept performance of Russian forces, it is obvious they could

Based on Russias demonstration of military weakness, it is obvious NATO needs fewer forces not more

"NATO has never had a desire to invade Russia"
That's why it is more secure.
Biden announced more U.S. troops for Europe.
"But given the inept performance of Russian forces, it is obvious they could"
Can you imagine the thinking right now in the Pentagon?
