Is armed conflict with Russia a real possibility? 

Because NATO is USA - they fund it to the tune of 70%+

lol don't be so naive

Putin: "Kiev is the mother of all Russian cities". Skip to 0:18 of the video in the link for this quote. www.washingtonpost.com/posttv/world/putin-kiev-is-the-mother-of-all-russian-cities/2014/03/18/ef945a80-ae94-11e3-b8b3-44b1d1cd4c1f_video.html

With snow, and nuclear submarines and hypersonic nuclear missiles. How many submarines have Nigerians manufactured? How is their aeronautic education? UK

@@mikeutube7888 With cost of “black gold” at 15-23 dollars per barrel, the USSR economy collapsed, and the sovok itself collapsed, and the "golden" horde ("russia") budget can only be fulfilled only with oil price at $ 42.4 and higher

@@eugenlitwin5887 there is an aesthetic associated with “gas station” which is unflattering at least as it appears to me. True it’s not much of an economy if it’s survivability rests on one export. Because the balance of payments turn the other way. By his logic England was a crack house circa 1830s. It’s all history. Is Russia a gas station today? Maybe. maybe not. But if it were running automobiles are useful. Drug addicts are less so.

@@mikeutube7888 do you agree that Moscow empire produce 1% of the world economy and can't challenge the free world ?

@@eugenlitwin5887 according to this logic England should not have been able to challenge China and India circa 1820 as both combined had 20x gdp of England. I don’t know what challenge means in contextless statement. My answer is maybe, maybe not. Economic output is useful during peacetime. In wartime economic mobilization tends to be resource heavy and here is where Russia is an absolute undisputed heavyweight and England would be more or less a beggar. Germany had the better economy, the better military, etc…but in 1943 when they couldn’t break through Stalingrad to get to the Caspian oil fields their fate was sealed. Peacetime output is meaningless in context of total war.

Russian troll - Anyone who disapproves of the current U.S. foreign policy and 6 corporate mass media agenda.

NZIGNANTI, that pretty much sums it up!
