"Indrid, The more I have just read your posts the more I realise you are basically a product of bc and sky news and maybe possibly CNN"

and you seem like a believer of Kremlin propaganda. and just to get this clear are you saying the Kremlin controlled media of Russia, where no news agency has any freedom, is that more reliable then western media?

"I mean the dismal failure in Afghanistan doesn't even appear on your radar"

remind me of how Russia got on in Afghanistan please?

and how long did the US hold Afghanistan before they simply chose to believe? come on then explain how the US/UK "lost" against the Taliban then......?

"You are not alone in this there are many people who do not comprehend geopolitics. Currently unfortunately the people in positions of decision making power in the United States do not"

this is just wishy washy nonsense, use some common sense. explain how Russia are winning in Ukraine (and no bombing schools, playgrounds, hospitals doesnt count)

"They instigated a proxy war in the Ukraine and We're completely opened over it and outplayed"

again zero substance or logic to this. in fact its as delusional as the drivel that comes out of the Russian state television where they admit one of the goals is to "de-satanize" Ukraine.

how are the west outplayed? their weapons deliveries are killing thousands and thousands of Russians every month whilst not risking a single soldier of their own. Russias economy is shrinking far more than any western nation. Russian materiel is getting destroyed at a rate never seen before since WW2. NATO is bigger and stronger than ever. the west united more than ever. the only nation openly helping Russia is Iran. you have to be a bare faced liar or completely deluded to think Russia is getting the upper hand on the west.

"The reality on the ground is that a 1000 people die A-day in the Ukraine And they are Ukrainian"

firstly that is a gross exaggeration. secondly Russia have lost more troops than Ukraine whilst only losing land for the last 5-6 months

"May I ask have you ever played chess?Or have you studied history at all? Or battle tactics?I wonder do people like yourself have any actual idea of what's really going on at allIt must be very strange to be so confused in the world and surprised by everything"

again just pure drivel, the ramblings of someone that doesnt want to discuss specifics, admit to facts and reality, its just honestly pure garbage that only highlights the fact your debating abilities on the particulars of the conflict are completely absent.

"Indrid How many men do you suspect the United States and the United Kingdom could field on a battlefield? Are you aware the Ukrainian army was the biggest Standing army in the Western World"

it's largely irrelevant when the US would have air supremacy immediately. but either way the US has a standing army of circa 1.3 million, so not sure what your point is?

add to that the Western troops are far, far better trained, equipped, skilled than Russian ones. Western weapons are better, tanks are better, planes are better, ships are better. You (like most pro-russians) value quantity over quality.

and Ukraine isnt in the "western world" so not sure of your point, and again troops numbers are secondary to weaponry in modern warfare.

"Have you any comprehension of the fact that the Russians can field one million men"

yes fully aware, but again your argument is based on quantity over quality. Russia sent in its best soldiers in the first 200,000 and obviously that didnt work.

the second 300,000 conscription is made up of far less capable, less equipped, less motivated soldiers.

if Russia is so strong why is it making threats every week and not following through on any of them?

do you know the world now refers to Putin as NATO salesman of the century?

"Indrid, bakhmut? Hypersonic missiles? Mean anything to you?"

hahahahaha

the fact you think those are debating points in favour of the Russians is utterly laughable.

Bakhmut, that the city Russia have been trying to take for 7 months? this being the ONLY area not Russian Army Troops, but Wagner, have been making ground and at about 10 metres per week?

funny you dont mention every other single front where Russians are either retreating or making ZERO gains

and hypersonic missiles? what have they done so far?

"Sukhoi Su-57?"

yes, good plane. but cant match the f22.

please confirm Russia's jet fighter strength compared to the US's.

then confirm why Russias air force hasnt managed to obtain air superiority in 10 months of war?

"For example we dont know how aircraft carriers will function in a conflict where the other side can knock them out"

again this shows your lack of knowledge on the subject, WW2 (specifically the Pacific War) taught us exactly how important air-craft carriers were. with the US and Japan both clearly capable of taking each others carriers out, having both done that a number of times.

"None of what you say has been really tested in a conflict"

i agree to a certain extent, but in the absence of WW3, it's not going to happen. So "power" is measured on other available criteria and metrics. And based on all those, and all EXPERT opinions, the US is by far the most powerful. only some with very, very limited knowledge on the subject would claim otherwise, and someone who claims that world renowned and globally held conclusion has been arrived at based on "films" and "comics" is beyond unresearched and ill-informed.

you havent substantiated anything you have claimed, nor put forward any alternative militaries that have the power of the US's.......that speaks volumes.

"The USA has huge budgets ,thats for sure, but recent conflicts (Iraq, Afghanistan) have shown it to be not much use"

how on earth have you come to that conclusion? they conquered and held onto power in Iraq and Afghanistan for 2 decades with ease. i mean you're not one of those m0r0ns that thing the Taliban won because they took over after the US chose to leave, please tell me you're not that cerebrally challenged?

also look at the damage that US "budget" is doing to Russian troops in Ukraine. not a single official US soldier has died and tens of thousands of Russians have met their end due to US weapons and intelligence. and so far the US has contributed a fraction of their defence budget, that's the importance and power of the US military industrial complex.

and if the US wasnt so powerful, why cant Russia do a single thing to stop the flow of US weapons into Ukraine?

"Please dont act supercilious here , its funny"

no what is funny is someone who hasnt got a clue on the subject, pretending he has. then has the audacity to claim i am acting superior on this matter when there is absolutely no doubt i am. you have displayed, in abundance, your knowledge on this matter is basically none existent.

whats also funny is claiming this is "boring", but its on a subject YOU were asking questions about, and then also still continue the conversation.......

"this is getting boring"

i didnt expect anything different to be honest. your lack of knowledge on the subject is clear as day, so claiming its "boring" (despite you actually asking questions on the matter!!) just so you can leave without accepting you're out of your depth isnt surprising at all.

i gave you perfectly reasonable facts and data points, to an already widely accepted fact, if you simply dont like it as it doesnt fit with your bias, no worries.

i presume you arent going to explain how this is "a peer level adversy conflict" when the US isnt actually directly involved/fighting?

"hhaha you made an assertion which I quoted below . I dont want to repost as it becomes repetitive. But what film did it come from"

another very strange and irrelevant post. stating the US is the worlds most powerfully military is common knowledge, that is for anyone with even half a functioning cerebral cortex and has done 5 minutes research on the subject. it doesnt really need explaining, unless someone with absolutely no clue enters a chat on the subject.

just claiming that opinion is of a reality on found within a film or comic book shows utter, utter ignorance on the subject.

"what comic book or movie does this come from. I'm curious"

what a strange comment for someone who i presume is of adult age and has an IQ above 80?

if you don't even have a clue why (or even the fact) the US is leagues ahead of everyone else I am not sure i can help all that much. you really need to start from scratch.

but some head line facts

the US spends $800 billion per year on defence. that is more than the next 10 countries combined. the US spends $70 billion on just maintaining its nuclear ****nal, that is the same as the ENTIRE Russian annual defence budget.

the one big thing sets the US military apart from the rest of the world, and that is Power Projection Capabilities.
The USA has, in terms of tonnage, the largest navy in the world by nearly 3 million tons. the US Navy operates operates 11 super carriers, China has 3. no other nation has a true "blue water" (i know you'll need to research that term) navy.

the force with the worlds largest number of fighter jets is the US Air Force, you know who is second........the US Navy!!!

then there is the fact out of the top ten arms producers 8 are in the US.

OK then you name a another country that can compete in terms of quality and capability of all things military..... tanks, air craft, ships, missile systems, happy for you to quote specific examples i.e. what (and why) beats F22's, F35's, The USS Gerald R Ford, the Abrams Tank etc

ah i see, so you cant substantiate your claims......i thought as much

why dont you actually make direct reference to something i have stated you deem as incorrect and then an adult discussion may come of it?

"a peer level adversy conflict"

eh? the US arent actually fighting, so how can it be as you claim?

"oh dear , I dont think you do either"

brilliant, LOL.........and that opinion is based on what?

and do please elaborate then........?

are you saying the US is not the most powerful military? and if not, who is and why aren't the US?

"USA lost in Syria, they are losing in Ukraine, they've managed to unite the world, which was some feat. Idiots"

you'll have to help me on this one, how are the US losing in Ukraine?

firstly, sending weapons is not the same as being "in" Ukraine.

secondly, since the NATO heavy weaponry arrived in summer, how much territory has Russia lost and how many Russian soldiers have died?

and who has managed to unite the world and in what sense? and who are the idiots?

"China, Russia, Iran, Syria, and possibly Saudi, are uniting. Are Turkey?"

this is the China who have refused to even publicly support the war? the same China that essentially just bombed some fish when Pelosi visited Taiwan?

this is the Russia who keep threatening to nuke the world every week? have only lost ground in the last 6 months, whilst losing circa 60,000 men since feb. With the most intelligent, educated men of working age fleeing the country. and the same Russia that is cut off from western finance and tech?

then Syria and Iran.........LOL......i think thats all that needs to be said there

And plus, you see Saudi and Iran on the same side???!!!

and Turkey, you mean the Turkey that is part of NATO and keeps sending weapons to Ukraine?

"What would USA do now if they roll into Kurdish Iraq? Ww3?"

who is they? you think Russia (again who is only losing ground in Ukraine) has an ability or will to start another war?

i just dont think you have any idea how many decades ahead the US military is from anyone else. if they actually go to war themselves, no one stands a chance. let alone when you have the whole of NATO backing them, plus Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea etc

"The oil cap is insane, the sanctions are insane, and show the world they need to unite to stop the Anglo Saxon lie factory of trans madness"

i think that last para just about sums up your state of mind

can i just confirm that in your head Russia dont lie?

assume like another poster here that you are anti-west, but let me guess you chose to live in the west and actively enjoy freedom of speech?

straycat, pay him no mind. he's officially lost it. did you see the articles he posted today on the Chinese Navy? the bloke picked out the ones that substantiated everything i said and contradicted every he did, and in the same post called me stupid........he's a very bizarre little man.

the only analogy i can think of for his quite frankly weird and baffling behaviour is.......

a man turns up to a tennis club, he's never picked up a racket in his life, doesnt know the rules either. jumps into a game with someone. not only does the man lose the match, he loses every set, every game. in fact he doesnt score a single point. every shot he makes he hits the net, every time he is served at he misses the ball. and to add to the embarrassment and hilarity of it all, whilst the ****show and obliteration is on going, he is constantly shouting across the court "you're **** at tennis mate"...........

what a clown

****-eye yet again a pathetic and feeble response. you tell me where the logic is watching something you posted. you literally lie in every post, you cant string a sentence together without looking like a moron. and on top of that you even post articles that contradict your very own argument, lol. i have seen numerous posts and videos of nutters like you talking absolute nonsense, another one wont change my mind. and if it goes into the biology of it all YOU and I would have no idea if he/she is telling the truth or not, you're not intelligent or experienced enough on the matter and i'm the latter too. so its futile. you just WANT to believe it, thats all.

and 75 years? eh? either way the efficacy rate is 95%. again thats fact. and whats contracting covid got to do with it? you do understand the vaccine doesnt stop you getting covid right, do you even understand the very basics of vaccination?

yup i've had all my jabs, and so have my work colleagues, so have my family, so have my mates, so have all my mates partners, and guess what........zero issues, zero deaths, strange that eh?!!

and the fact still stands, the virus is more deadly than the vaccine. that is FACT. even nutters like you cant get around that.

and thats what blows your argument out of the water. but you hate common sense and logic.

by your logic you're standing in front of 2 doors. if you go through door A you have a 10% chance of getting ill, severely ill, or dying. go through door B you have a 0.1% chance of getting ill, severely ill or dying and you choose door A. in fact its worse, you're standing there shouting at everyone that they're idiots for going through door B.

you'd be dangerous if you had an IQ above 80.......lucky for the masses you dont!

****eye the film is posted by YOU, why on earth would i watch something posted by someone so deluded, stupid, dishonest and detached from reality? that would make as much sense as your posts today. i have no interest in your illogical, nonsensical conspiracy theories.

vaccines work. the pfizer vaccine works. vaccines cause far, far, far less illness or deaths than the virus itself. these are not just conclusions based on common sense, they are based on scientific fact, cold hard data.

if your life feels fuller and more rich by believing in the tripe you do, i mean fair play i suppose, each to their own, but you clearly are a sandwich short of a picnic on so many levels, and thats being kind.

right so again you cant answer the question with any resemblance of a fact or data, its all just twaddle and highlighting exceptions rather than the rule. brilliant.

even with the suspect counting of what defines a covid death the vaccine causes less illness and death than the virus itself, that's a fact, its not up for discussion. to say the opposite would be an outright falsehood.....and i guess thats why your drawn to said conclusion. that and you just "like" that side of the story better, the one with little common sense and reasoning.

P.S. what were you saying about the Chinese navy earlier? any redactions going to be forthcoming?

and you do understand what a vaccines primary objective is right? its limits the seriousness of the how the virus affects you, it makes your body more capable to deal with it when infected and thus stops you being ill for longer, and guess what, the shorter the time your ill, the less chance you have of passing it on, that's again common sense. Plus if you dont have to go to hospital when you contract it, guess what, thats a good thing too.

complete prevention of transmission has never been claimed (you can prove otherwise i presume?), however it may help you not getting it so that would explain the temporary passport.

the Pfizer vaccine had a 95% efficacy rate. its scientifically proven to work.

and why is the covid vaccine different to any other vaccine in principle? vaccines are world renowned (well amongst sane people) to benefit the entire human race.

vaccines have successfully dealt with all the following diseases: Polio, Tetanus, Influenza, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, Rubella, Measles, Whooping Cough, Pneumococcal Disease, Rotavirus, Mumps, Chickenpox, Diphtheria.

the above is scientific, undisputable fact. the covid vaccine works in the same way and has far, far, far less chance of making you ill or killing you that the actual disease. again that is undisputable fact.

people who chose not to be vaccinated, well thats up to them, its not based on any scientific fact or logic, but the nutters who claim its micro-chipped, all for control, worse than the disease, well are just that......nutters

every government and respectable scientific institution in the world recommended getting the vaccine.

even your beloved Russia and China agree, so are you saying they are wrong?

oh for crying out loud d1ckeye, you're such a sad, small, pathetic man. morally and intellectually bankrupt.

and yet again you're not answering the question, its all diversion tactics and trying to desperately avoid admitting you're simply so dense that your counter arguments involve posting up articles that prove you're wrong and the one you are arguing with is right.

you really are one of lifes losers.

finally riddle me this. what has killed more people covid itself or the vaccine? its a really simple answer that even the most brain dead brain washed anti-vax nutters cant dispute.......lets see if you have one iota of common sense or honesty in ya......?

"Obedient mugs like you are cannon fodder for the Industrial Military Complex"

again the stupidity of not recognising the irony in that. so where is more obedience demanded and freedoms limited, Russia or America? lol - again......but Russia good, America bad......that's the world according to d1ckeye

"and there you go waddling off to your demise"

ditto to the above - exactly how many Russians have died because of Putins ambitions? but Putin good, Biden bad.....genius.

and still the lack of a response to any counter argument is completely lacking. not man enough to admit you lied or simply got things wrong, what a catch you must be, PMSL.

i know you're not going to answer any of the specific questions put to you because you just don't have the honesty or integrity in you to do so.

but now that it is clear for absolutely everyone to see you actually have no clue what you were rambling on about earlier, i just want to try one more time to see if i can get a direct, logical and truthful answer to the below question.

when you were searching for articles earlier on the Chinese navy why did you post ones which directly agreed with me and proved you utterly and unequivocally wrong. just wondered what was your thought (if there was any!) process behind that please? come on, you gotta admit that was hilarious......well for us anyway.

oh and on serving, nope not myself. anything discussed today is actually pretty basic knowledge and such views only take a smidgen of common sense and logic to arrive at. and to be honest i think that's why you failed miserably, yet again.

stick to pulling bill gates micro-chips out of people that have had the covid vaccine, that's a lot more you.

"not to expand NATO eastward since 1990"

it's irrelevant, the countries that have joined because it is their sovereign right to do so. they wanted to, they chose to. and if the people of those nations dont like what a government do, guess what, you get to vote them out next election. can you do that in Russia, or Iran, or China etc.......but thats good in ****eyes mind.

NATO would have never attacked Russia, not in a million years.

and if Russia was an equal to the US it could have set up its own anti-NATO coalition and eastern European countries could have joined, but people dont want to align themselves with Russia, its a sh/thole of oppression. why do you think the USSR failed, because people like it too much, because it was too successful? lol

think about the countries that have actually openly supported Russia recently. ****eye is essentially aligning himself with Serbia, Iran and North Korea. LOL. thats the type of bloke he is.

but of course given the choice to live there he'd turn it down 365 days a year, because he is a fraud. he'll sit behind his western computer, on a western website, in his western clothes, bought with western money, that he got from a western store, freely spouting out utter nonsense because the western way allows him to do so.

a moron and a hypocrite......what a combo
