Russian Economy fitted into Western Europe.

  1. That’s what I always say, Russia is only irrelevant because of their oil an gaz.

    They want to bully other coutries with the economic power of BeNeLux.

    Sure they have a huge military, but it has a lot of problems.

    They have 15k tanks on paper, how many of them are T-72 tanks?

    Back in the 90s they had the leftovers of the USSR and still failed in chechnya.

    They have too many officers in relation of soldiers.

    Sorry but if the european countries would finally acknowledge that the world has changed in the last 10 years and that countries like russia and china are not our friends, then it would be another situation.

    In order to encounter russia you have to be strong enough and with minimal effort we would be strong enough.

    Yet countries like germany- and also others – keep kissing putins and Xi’a ass. It’s pathetic.

  2. It’s not as simple as that.The economy is obviously not Russia’s strong suit. But it also isn’t where they’re trying to stay competitive.

    The current Russian regime has strong capabilities in the military (and specifically in military intelligence), in the cyberspace, in the energy sector and in (at least civilian) morale (the people are primed for war, propagandized to hell and back and aren’t as accustomed to certain comforts as people living in the democratic world). Plus it would seem there would be very little internal conflict, since the balconies in those Moscow high rises appear to be extremely slippery.

    The current Russians regime can leverage these strengths significantly.
