Russia maybe one time superpower, but the country is slowly dying. How? The population of Russia is reducing by half a million every year.
Russian Men have lower life expectancy than Indian Men (despite fact that Russia was Superpower for 70 years while India is the capital of poor hygeine and squalor). Alcoholism has destroyed Russian society from inside and Russian women are marrying outsiders simply because there are few eligible Russian men to marry.
A country like Russia which was a great nation during Tsar period is today a showpiece that is dying from within. Thank you communism, for destroying a nation totally.

Dont be surprised - With 2 million muslims in Moscow alone,Putin has aligned Russia towards caucausian Muslim countries like Uzbek,Kazak and turkemenistan defying US interests.Putin once said Islamists are the biggest menace and never minced words against Muslims is now is honorary observer of orgnaization of islamic con(OIC). Russia which sent just 20 people to Haj 10 years back is sending 25,000 every year. He has changed and changed for the better. Let the islamophobe of India learn something from this and learn to be pragmatic see the newyork times article on this nytimes.com/2007/12/17/world/europe/17hajj.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper&oref=slogin

India paniked and withdrew from the IRAN gas pipe line fearing the Big brother's wrath.This is a big loss for US.This is unbecoming of a country of a billion strong India
I dont understand why the Communist Russia was the biggest threat to US in all ways ( They outdid US ) not anymore and the same way how communist China is doing that ....

I dont know why you need an enlightenment to figure out that .. A kid can tell you why US was afraid of USSR and the same thing is happening with China .. Do you think the US have guts to do the Iraq model with China ???
RE:Russia & China

Countries dont attack each other like fools, except Iraq case which was more of Bush adamancy.
Compare the level of technology of US defense equipment versus Chinese. US has at least 2 generation ahead fighters, submarines, ICBMs, as well as missile defense systems. The only country that has equivalent power is Russia.
China is inferior power and they know it. Besides US dont have any plausible reason nor does China to attach each other and loose over $1000 billion worth of two way trade.

RE:Russia & China

I will advice you again to think deeper to understand international politics.
It depends on how you perceive threats.
China thinks USA is a threat because it fears USA will intervene in Taiwan in case China uses force to invade Taiwan. USA feels should China attack Japan or Korea, for some reason, USA has to act. USA has 13 aircraft carrier groups which are loaded with nuclear weapons and superior to anything that China has, just as a show of strength. Even in wildest dreams Chinese will never think of attacking mainland of the US soil unless if they want to get wiped out. China on the other hand can surely destroy one or two US cities, which US fears naturally.
In essence, THE PRICE OF WAR IS TOO HIGH without any commensurate benefit for both parties, HENCE WAR IS UNLIKLY, TRADE WILL CONTINUE nevermind mutual suspicions.

I definitely dont know much details about ICBM's and thats not my business. But about the other stuffs you mentioned , China will not think of attacking US but they can do it Via Thaiwan.. And China will wait for that too. And with all these so called military power why US lost in Vietnam and losing in Iraq and will lose in Iran ?? So , weapons doesn't matter , money matters and China has that now...
RE:RE:RE:Russia & China
by Bhola on Dec 21, 2007 09:33 PM Permalink
BTW USA already has missile defense system to destroy lesser ICBMs as that of North Korea. Destroyed from Space. They are not those highly superior Russian ICBMs which are like hell breaking lose , a barrage of MIRVs.

Why will USA kill a trillion dollar trade relationship with China ?
What was level of US Iraq trade ? Do you have any answers or arguing for sake of arguing. By your logic all stronger countries attack weaker countries just for NOTHING.
So Russia should attack Ukraine, China should attack Vietnam, India should attack Nepal ?
Stop this childish discussion and grow up and read more about international affairs instead of showing your genius.
OK for your sake, I AGREE you are a genius, now stay happy.

No need of a certifcate Bhola .. whoever rules Eurasia rules the planet . And a war between US and China cannot be ruled out too.. And you were talking about ICBM's ,,, North korea have ICBM's which can reach Chicago .. I mean North Korea... And the other stuffs you mentioned tells more of your genious brain than mine.
RE:Russia & China
by Bhola on Dec 21, 2007 09:47 PM Permalink
So ? Defeats happen in battles. USSR lost in Afghanistan, Indian lost to China 1965, China lost to Japan ww2, France lost to Germany, USA lost in Vietnam battle but you cannot say Vietnam invaded USA soil, a smaller country can beat larger country in battles where it has a tactical advantage as in Iraq like you say, but you cannot say Iraq invaded USA.
Besides I have yet to see any news report to say USA has lost Iraq war, they are there still, and will withdraw , it is not their country.
As for money part, by your logic Saudi Arabia who holds $3 trillion reserves in the US banks, should be the most powerful country of the world.
Anyway, you seem too childish to discuss any futher, lets leave it at that.

A dictator like Putin is better than people like Devegawda, Mulayam Singh etc. Dictator can kill you in one shot where people like Devegawda make you feel dieng daily
Putin can be compared to Stalin, except for the genocides committed by Stalin. Putin turned around Russian economy same like Stalin did almost 80 years ago. Putin reinstated Russian pride same like Stalin did. And Putin has an ability to inflict a crushing defeat if WW3 happens same like Stalin did in WW2.
Putin wud a give a damn about what is said or written about him..Mayhave embezzled funds but he enjoys over 70% popularity in his country, would never be another statesman trying to please the west, has always refused to extradite russians involved in wrongdoings outside russian borders, may have been inhuman but has brutally crushed Chechen fighting, brought abt economic turnaround after Yelstin left the country in tatters, put pride back into Russia...Done something atleast for the country unlike our politicians who only play the religious card all the time alongwith making shitloads of money...For him only Russia matter the rest of the world can go to hell..he has run the country like a KGB cheif should

Yea that too, OIL supplied the cash crunched Russian defense and space sectors much needed respite. As of now things have changed. Thanks to $435 billion dollar cash kitty as of 2007, Russians have tested new ICBMs as well as latest missile defense systems which are second to none in this world. Russia is massively upgrading its awsome military power. Days of 1990s cash crunch is over. Check latest about Russia in google news. Russian defense budget is second only to the US now. Superpower is back. Russia is also preparing next generation submarines, warplanes, as well as missile systems.

Hi, Price of oil was in the teens when Putin took over 10-20$. This is a lie spread by American media to weaken Putin in the Neocons attempt to control Eurasia. The economic reforms he initiated have led to an average 7% growth since he took over. He has used surging oil revenues to pay-off 200 billion in debt and creat a reserve fund of 155 billion 470 billion in currency reserves. HE HAS NOT PUMPED THIS MONEY INTO THE ECONOMY TO ACCELERATE GROWTH No leader has done more for their country than Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin(VVP)

you all are ignorant dumb heads. west countries are always after putin to tarnish his image because Russia is getting back. yes very fast. west is insecure. that's why this rumor monging. there is no truth
Its a bloody negative propgation against the State of Russia and Putin. The state has overcome from all the economic travails and has acheived a trillion dollar economy and to this Mr.Putin is credited and certified as the man of the year By Time magazine. The way they charge him as corrupt is brutually wrong and he has more proven honesty than the political fellows in wstern world! We have witnessed the collapse of world's numer one energy company ENRON collapse by corporate frauds and all who did that have escaped from the accountability! They don't have the morality to charhge Mr.Putin!

Russia is an underdeveloped country. It exports oil and gas and imports all the manufactured products its citizens need. Their only acheivement is in manufacturing rockets and nuclear bombs. Well, even ISRO has succeeded in doing that.

In 2007, Russia carried out 70% of all commercial space launched in the world. Russia is the world top weapons exporter. Russians are world leaders in fields of defence as well as civilian space market. Russian economy is booming and Moscow is the most expensive city in the world.
Russia continues to be a superpower to be awed and feared by west and east alike, an enigma.
