The USSR was. Not sure about Russia. I guess having a massive nuke stockpile puts you somewhere on that list.

...

India and China are the real superpowers of the 21st century.

Wtf happened?

nope

regional power yes

Sanctions

economic sanctions

What abou US

I wasn't aware it was that bad. Jesus.

soroz

Nuclear superpower.

But calling her regional power would be problematic, because you'd need to clarify what region you have in mind: European, Middle East, Asia, North America (Palin can see Russia from her house, and essentially Russia borders Canada via arctic).

No LOL

Russia has nothing of value and will continue to be crippled by the establishment here in the U.S. as we seek to expand our global empire.

Burgers are the only superpower then you have two Great Powers China and Russia and then three (not so) Great Powers UK, France and Germany.

sanctions are only a short term measure. This chart will recover, just like Iran.

No, poland does not allow us to be one.

ftfy

Ok, the facts are they lost half of their gdp

No

Yeah but they have a bunch of pic related and stuff.

wow holy shit they have 80 year old technology.

No, Russia haven't got any power.
Russian bear is just a scarecraw for brgers.

considering we got Trump elected, yes we are

Nukes, ressources and a veto in UN. So yes, as long as wealth is not too important for that.

700 billion is closer to one third than half
and again, this is in US dollars, which have been going up in value, that has nothing to do with russian GDP

I was expecting this sort of response.
Point was, surely it is part of the equation, no?

it was oil price in fact

He took back the money.

Nope it is a boogieman for muricans and stupid europoors, so that elites can justificate NATO existence and their bases next to europeans houses.

In other words this "Russia is a global threat" meme helps muricans to manipulate and control europeans.

Oil price is minorly significant. Oil industry gives 2mil.jobs, but all taxes they pay returns to them via govt.support.

It`s other factors, that include sanctions. But mostly it`s corruption and production sabotage, that is possible due to corruptions shading everything to hide their crimes.

Navalny might be a CIA agent, but he is not wrong in his points. That`s why he is popular.

130 million people. $2 trillion GDP. Not even close. Germany and Japan are actually more powerful than Russia.

3rd world economy, 1st world military

...

>those welds
Oy vey America is this where your billions are going?

BRRRRRRT

Hes got a point.

Think about relations of russia and eu before ukraina war.

Mostly it`s a meme to not pay debts they`ve made by sponsoring bolshevism and nationalistic socialism. And it only helps anglos.

Look at how buttmad anglo was, when Trump declared, that he would not pay for nato shit in europe.

>economic sanctions
>I wasn't aware it was that bad. Jesus.
>Wtf happened?

Can't you tards read?? It says "billions USD". Nothing happened, Putin's government halved the RUR/USD exchange rate instead of raising tariffs. In real terms the GDP is actually growing.

(Protip, gaming exchange rates is a favorite tactic of populist politicians, I fully expect Trump to try this sometime in the near future.)

...

Russia would've collapsed by now if they didn't get their puppet installed as president.

Idiots. The sanctions are peanuts. The oil barrel price fell like a rock after Saudi Arabia started to dump production on the market and refused to agree to an overall threshold for OPEC. It was in response partly to congress lifting the decade-old ban that disallowed US producers to export. Saudi Arabia wanted to crash the market and clean up market shares afterwards.

And pic related is what comes out of the exhaust when that ship is at full power and not starting its engines in port.

Now show me a pic of the kuznetsov at full power.
If the kuznetsov can even reach its design top speed without blowing its boilers...

>cuck

By this logic all eastern europe is third world economy, because they have the same GDP PPP as Russia (while getting € from EU fund).

And pic related when nato edits image to look good, but ends up just shitting it`s pants again.

They are a regional superpower but the only global super power is the United States.

nukes and big population even if in a war 70% will starve i think

Popular among young brainwashed idiots (such as yourself) and libshits. Who in their right might would support a guy that wants to balkanize Russia (give independence to southern regions).

Calm down Vlad. I was right then, it wasn't as bad as the graph suggests. Glad to hear thanks.

USA is only superpower currently

Russian Federation only has one aircraft carrier and has many internal problems.

the loss of Little Russia and White Russia will cripple them forever I think.

>HMS York travelled around 1,000 miles from Portsmouth to keep watch as the 65,000 tonne Admiral Kuznetsov and a number of other battleships ANCHORED on the edge of UK waters.

The pic you posted is from 2011 when the kuz was anchored off the scottish coast to avoid a storm.
Do you think the engines were running while she was sitting there waiting for the storm to pass?

??? Why is russia so high there? Germany has 30% bigger economy? Russia is only big in miltary.

watch this to answer your question.

...

russian technology + chinese labor

i wonder sometimes

No puttin himself even said the usa is the only real super power left

> all eastern europe is third world economy
correct

Yes. As a Polak, I'm quite frankly shocked our fucking GDP is sub 1B. What the fuck is the government doing?

of AIDS yes

of other 1st world stuff? LMAO no

>north korean labor

Redpill me on carriers.
In my opinion in ((current year)) it's literally useless boats. They become to be useless in ~70s, when China, US and USSR developed good antiship missiles.
Now there's LITERALLY 0 chances to survive in global non-nuclear war on carrier, because current interception systems can't intercept maneuverable targets on ~5M speed.
AEGIS good for interception Iranian shit (which is copies of chinkchong dog eating missiles)

So tell me, why the fuck you're jerking on carriers so much?

btw the ONLY good thing in Kuznetsov is that 12 nuclear baddies under the runway.

Iron Dome has classified interception capabilities.

For all intents and purposes, American and Israel missile interception technology is 50 years ahead of Russia.

Carriers also have classified point defense capabilities.

Same question as asking is Russia poor...Both answers being yes

this is correct. anti-aircraft missiles are much cheaper too

Those aren't welds

carriers are great as mobile terror platforms

russia is a nuclear power but their arms forces wouldn't make it past berlin before america absolutly bobed them to deaf. Russia navy and Airforce would be totally rekt

REMINDER:Russians aren't white

>Iron Dome

You don't know what you're talking about, right? It's close-range system, which have radius of ~10-50km. They can intercept ONLY palestinian ballistic home-made shit like picreleated (I'm not joking). And even in that case 20% of rockets still not intercepted.
Even glorious THAAD can intercept old Scud-like missiles, and it's the best system right now.

>In my opinion in ((current year)) it's literally useless boats. They become to be useless in ~70s, when China, US and USSR developed good antiship missiles.

If that is the case, why is china building its first chinese-designed carrier?
Why is the US keeping its 11 carrier doctrine and replacing their nimitz carriers?
Why is britain building 2 carriers?
Why is india building its first indian-designed carrier?

The soviet union was an illusion backed by bombs. China is even more so a phony world power.

Yeah, they'd be useless and easily disabled in an actual war between major powers. Their only purpose is to serve as a power projection tool of the Anglozionist global empire. This is precisely why Russia hasn't built more of them; they'd be useless and a waste of money.

The USA are the only superpower currently, but that doesn't mean much. Their power is based on the massive number of vassal states bound in the alliance centered around US interests. The current state of Western countries as feminist open-border societies with a strong welfare state is unsustainable in the long term, and will lead to massive changes to the economic, political and general power potential of the West. Countries like Russia and China will probably come out on top at some point in this century.

>Shilling USA
>Shilling EU
>Shilling /pol

Yes! Russia is the only country effectively playing 45-dimensional geo-political chess.

Carriers are still useful terrorizing smaller nations and projecting some power when there are no full-scale wars going on.

for show?

i thought the power was only based on the petrodollar and the fed to print limitless notes

>Russia and China will probably come out on top at some point in this century.

A decrease in oil price affects revenue from exports primarily. That's where your budget losses come from, because the cost analysis assumes a specific band for oil price and the price of an oil barrel has been under the lower limit for some time.

Bobba

definitely not.
here are a couple of unrelated points that immediately come to mind.

it started it's life out in 1991 as a US vassal state.
>The US op went bad because oligarchs just stole everything.
>Best of Russia 2016

those videos alone should tell you that russia is not something to worry about.

t. A russian goy whose educated family moved to new york, like many others, leaving larger proportion scum behind.

They have huge nuclear arsenal, ok army and pretty strong secret services which are very good at psy ops and divide and conquer. However it is corrupt, poor, run by botox leader and mafia/kgb/olgarch elites that want to make sure it will stay that way. Because of that it's economy is shit (less than Italy's), it basically have no friends (except third world shitholes) and its soft power is basically nil. Does it make it a superpower? I don't think so...

>Redpill me on carriers.

They are white elephants only good for bombing 3rd world countries like Iraq and Syria.

Aircraft carrier would be a huge liability against a country with a decent anti ship missiles

no

slavs are the dogs of the white race

Also, no country one earth would dare attack an American carrier because the USA would more than likely glass you in retaliation

Putin pls stop making us into a superpower, I'm tired of this

No. You know this already, don't ask again.

>By this logic all eastern europe is third world economy

I don't see a problem with this, does anyone else?

Nah, don't be afraid of us, we are cute poor people who want love and peace. We just envy superpowers like USA, Poland, Germany, France, Romania, Lithuania and others.

Love and peace, guys, love and peace!

sry but china is not using them for war. they will be used to occupy and pressure small countrys. they are beyond useless against antiship missles.

anti ship missles=$1Million
Carrier=$1Billion

it is, although their anti-air defence and Armata tank are empty shit

Economic no. Millitary yes.
