Russian weapon - BEST IN THE WORLD

US GDP comes from "petrodollar recycling", borrowing + printing press (M3). If the US were to declare war on Russia, confidence in US treasury securities would plummet, dollar would drop and the market would go into depression overnight, rendering US military bankrupt... It doesn't matter if the US has a more of this or more of that, they CANNOT have a direct confrontation with a nuclear power, such as Russia. CANNOT!

And after all of the money Americans invested in mujahadeen. Do you know that Americans are fighting in Afghanistan against their own stinger missiles. And by the way USSR didn't have an advanced heat seeking technology which would allow them to win that bloody war.

Russia has a huge load of t-80's. Russia has a huge load of money in their reserves. more oil..more natural resources. if you cut off trade for the united states their natural resources wouldnt be enough to combat russia.. despite russia having a weaker economy. and note the usa is strong by foreign investment. take that out and your economy collapses.

Russia was trying to outspend Europe as well dont forget that.

The chinese invented the first rockets, and the Germans made the first powerful ones. If you say the moon landings were faked then I say Sputnik was faked-I've never seen it. I would like to see you prove the moon landings were faked. And look at how many Mi-24 Hind "Flying Tanks" you lost to the Mujihadeen just because we sent over a few stingers-you weren't even fighting a government in Afghanistan.

Nations don't generally brag about being empires, as it is currently considered an insult. And I doubt you know what it is like being part of an empire, as there are none around today, and if there were Azerbaijan wouldn't be one of them.
