Roadcop: "But... Russia really will return to superpower status, maybe not this century, but this millenium. LOL (on myself)." You know my opinion about it. You first should climb up from the floor in financial meaning. Russian GDP is mostly from oil and gas. As you learned in the school the colonialists bought the raw materials cheaply from the colonies and sold on a high price their products on the colonies. When Ireland joned to the EU. they were quite poor. They decided not to spend the EU money to the consuming goods industry (They left it to the Cinese) but to the research and education. Now they are amongst the richer countries in the EU. In Russia it seems to me there are problems with the consuming goods (not enough nor in quantity neither in quality) But you have (still) good human resources for research and development. (Not necessarily the natural resources make a country rich and strong!) But you shoud hurry! Those human resources and their knowledge eroding quickly and the competitors advancing fast. Sooner or later the gap will be too fast. Than you will have to start from zero.

Ok firstly the American Amry is not invincible it is far from it , let me make it quite clear, any of the following nations could crush any american invasion Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Iran ,Syria and Vietnam are just a few. The American army is the most overrated asset of america , they do not have technological advantage, Vietcong massacred the army and the US army is so dam invincible why did they pull out of somalia after 18 soldiers died. The Somalians were militia who had never been in a army or seen combat and they had the US out gunned. In short the US has no advantage over any nation tehy are so confidant that they are indestructible but if thats the case how come they lost Vietnam (Go Vietcong for defending a free Vietnam), they lost to Somalian militia group. Quite frankly they United States is a pure example of imperialist ideals and there military power they have is nothing but show for once it hits the battlefield they are one of the most ineffective armies today.

Yep, and the SOmalians lost over 1000 dead to those outgunned us MArines. US pulled out for political reasons, NOT military. And again, you show your ignorance. The US was there to provide the Somalians with FOOD, and the warlords were disrupting and stealing. THEUS went to suppress them, and the militias came out and got chewed up royally. Now please put your scissors and toys away, and let mommy tuck you into bed. It's way past your bedtime, and there are monsters under your bed. swhitebull

politics, thats what defeats an army, if it wasn't Hitler's medling the German army would of made the out come of WWII very different. The US could of crushed the Somali war lords had the US used A-10s and M1s and Vietnam could of easily been a US victory really, we all know it the US could of won, but politics stabed them in the back. In Iraq despite the 700-800 casulaties the US is winning but it is winning Saddam is in custidy and Iraq now has it's own goverenment. However no armyis invinicble but it would take alot to bring down the US army, but you have to remember the US army never really goes it alone it alwas has support by the Nvay and Air force in a time of war.

Well i dont agree with Desert Fox. Im sure that the U.S could invade syria. However i do think that there is alot imperialist ideals. And the American army has been defeated before. Also the U.S hasnt been in that many wars.

I dont thik so. The Vietnamese forces were get better and better. In the end of the war they started getting tanks. True, it was mostly political problems that ended the war. Even if the U.S forces had stayed the casualties would have been very high. A complete take over would never have been possible.

I supose may be I was wrong to say that, speaking of US defeats the Germans sure well rolled over the US 1st Infantry early on in North Africa.

The North Vietnamese admitted in their official histories that they were never able to defeat the US on the battlefield. They won their war the same way the Somalis won at Mogadishu--politically. Desert Fox, take a page from your namesake and read history. You might be surprised.
