And from where does this Hydrogen comes from?

They burn natural gas and generate electricity. And then this electricity is being used to produce Hydrogen. And the most ironic part is that the energy produced from this Hydrogen is less than what is needed to manufacture it. Hydrogen-run train is just another eco-scam, which is used to siphon off government funds and to fool the citizens. And it is not surprising that the German Green Party is behind all this. Their supporters have the lowest IQ for any political party in mainland Europe.

Putin has a very firm leadership trait that until now makes everyone think to fight the country. it's absolutely true that if putin still leads it would make things dubious to play with russia or mess it up. I don't imagine if Putin gets angry and launches their nukes.

With the way that it's going, Russia emerge the next dominant superpower, in as much as Putin stays in power for a long period of time, its now obvious that United States and other top European countries are now afraid of Russia, Putin is a man of his word he dare them and non of them dare to trespass in his lane, the nuclear war heads and other ammunitions Russia posses says it all

Oh, and tell us how the Russian military-industrial complex showed itself?
Interested in - the effectiveness of C300 / C400
Interested in the reliability and efficiency of armored vehicles that are not afraid of javelins, is it the T-84VM, T-90, BTR-82, Tigr, Akhmat armored vehicles?
Where is the "unparalleled" tank T-14 "Armata"?
Why don’t the “invincible” MiG-29, MiG-21 and Su-30, the Su-25 attack aircraft fly into the territory of Ukraine, except for the temporarily occupied ones, and where are the “invincible fortresses” of the Ka-52 reconnaissance and attack helicopter hiding?
Where did almost 2000 Russian tanks go? 230 "world's best and most reliable" aircraft? 200 "unparalleled" helicopters? 15 ships of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, which "can turn any US aircraft carrier group into ashes and wipe the whole country off the face of the earth"?
Why "unparalleled, and for many decades ahead of the best examples of Western missiles" do not fall into military facilities in Ukraine - but through schools, children's gardens, residential buildings, shopping centers, and 75 simply do not reach being shot down by air defense "which the second army world, destroyed in the first days of the special operation in Ukraine"?
And why do Russian soldiers, after the word "HIMARS is not far away", immediately take a stool and urine test, but all in their pants?

PS and about su57 - when you tell fairy tales, make a note "according to the Kremlin propaganda" Do you know why? Because there are only 10 of them, 2 of them are ground test models, and the rest have old engines, because. "unparalleled Russian designers", told fairy tales, but the engine for the SU57 has not been made for 10 years, and for the next 5 years it will not be created as a serial product

And please remind everyone - why did India abandon Russian military helicopters, and why did they close the project to create a new multi-role fighter based on that very fabulous SU57? Enjoy the truth!  

Many of the overhyped American defense innovations have failed in actual use scenario. One perfect example is that of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter jet. The Americans spent around $1.7 trillion on the development of this jet, and in the end they got a product that is much inferior to the Russian Sukhoi Su-57 (which was developed at a cost of around $60 billion). And the most comic part is that a part of the cost was borne by the European allies such as France and Germany. The unit cost is also much lower. Su-57 costs $35 per piece, while F-35 costs $110 million.

The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan is a purely political move, and has nothing to do with "loss of power."
In this trend, it would be more logical to discuss the "strength of ruZZia" - the biggest fake of the 21st century the first days, the heroic ruZZian army destroyed the armed forces, aviation and combat-ready formations " Losses in the terrorist army of ruZZia, in some areas, amount to up to 50% of the entire "strength". The prospects are purely negative, the Kremlin's bald scum is hysterically looking for the option of at least some kind of negotiations, since soon there will be nothing to protect his old rotten ass from his own "grateful population", brought to a bestial state by this war ....

PS By the way, it is American weapons, of the 80s of the last century, that bring "the second army of the world, armed with the most modern means of warfare, and having no analogue in the world" to hysteria and pissed pants And the manpower of the ruZZian army is destroyed by US weapons, like sheep at the slaughterhouse - quickly and massively. For which many thanks to our friends from the US, the EU and other countries who help us fight the terrorist bastard regime of ruZZia

The strength will vary on military strength as well. But given the fact of what happened Afghanistan,  this made the conclusion that the military strength of the US had declined. In many aspects actually because in the race to Space, China had won already and in the case of military weapons, China had the hypersonic as well.

We have not really seen Dongfeng17 in use and hope to not see it because warheads flying all the way across the world are not going to make us survive even if we are a hundred miles away from the target. This is why they do have the chance of winning in a military confrontation especially if they can hit the Whitehouse while they are not in the Mexican gulf.

The strength of the United States lies within it's currency. The USD remains as the trade and reserve currency of the world. And this enables the US to loan trillions of USD from the creditors every year, at near-zero interest rate. And this is also one of the reasons behind the inflated military budget of the United States (~$600 billion per year?). Other countries don't have this luxury. So they are forced to tone down their budget. Now I don't think that this situation is going to change sometime in the near future, especially as currencies such as EUR are sliding down steeply against the Dollar.

For this moment, I think it will take time for either Russia or any other country to emerge as the next dominant superpower. We know the United States has won the title for a very long time but the predictions of the birth of a new power are starting to emerge and that is what we will continue to see in the next decade or so as new superpowers emerge.

For Bitcoin itself may be part of this new world order. Not now possible but may eventually be adopted by some countries. It all depends on how well they can make it visible and how much the public will accept it. For the final outcome of this situation is just predictions and predictions only.

Russia is already a superpower. They have the political influence, foreign presence and nuclear weapons cache much bigger than USA. I don't think that they will be an economic superpower though, Ruble exchange is pretty bad that even though my country has a weak purchasing power with dollars, I could probably live comfortably there because the exchange rate is much better.

In this case, Russians are more justified. Before the war, around 80% of Ukraine used Russian as the home language. The Kiev regime was discriminating against the Russian speakers and that resulted in the civil war of 2014.


LOL.. the funny thing is that Taliban was created by the Americans themselves in the early 1980s. Their aim was to fight the Soviets. Taliban leaders and cadre were taken to the CIA-controlled training centers in Pakistan and provided tactical as well as equipment training. The Americans also provided them with the latest defense technology, including Stinger anti-air missiles.

You see contrast only because of your point of view.
You see Ukraine from the PoV of a Ukrainian (the victim) but
You see Afghanistan from the PoV of America (the attacker).

If you change your PoV and stop having double standards you see that the situation in Afghanistan was exactly the same as it is in Ukraine.

This is from the PoV of the attackers. Similarly from the PoV of Russia they are sending their peacekeepers to Ukraine in order to help them since Ukrainians just like Afghanistanis are struggling for their "independence"!!!

You are too naive or brainwashed if you really think that. Do you know how many Taliban leaders has US killed over 20 years? The answer is ZERO. The extremists in control of the country today are the same exact ones from 20 years ago!
If US was really fighting against Taliban then why the hell were they negotiating with them at the same time? And why the hell did they donate $100 billion worth of weapons to them when they were escaping Afghanistan?

The United States can help the people of some country in the struggle for their independence, but they are not obliged to fight for them and will not. For twenty years the Americans have helped the people of Afghanistan with everything they could and even fought for them against the Taliban. But this cannot continue indefinitely. They trained the Afghan army and armed dozens of times more than the US has now provided military assistance to Ukraine. If the people of Afghanistan would give a worthy rebuff to the enemy, the help would continue. But they cowardly gave almost all the US equipment to the Taliban and surrendered en masse. Therefore, we have what we have. And there is no US fault here.
In contrast to this situation, the Ukrainians showed complete unity and mass heroism and professionalism in the fight against the Russian invaders. This causes a well-deserved respect and desire  to help defend their country and their nation.

Do you even have the slightest idea of ​​Putin's plans for Ukraine when he decided to bring his eight combined arms and armored armies into Ukraine on February 24? What to negotiate with Putin? That he does not capture the whole of Ukraine and does not kill half of its population, but only some of its smaller part?

Recently, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on an open day in his office that Russian dictator Putin had told him before attacking Ukraine that Ukraine and Belarus "should not be separate states."
Russia wanted to physically destroy the political and military leadership of Ukraine, kill or otherwise destroy all those who disagree with the established regime of the occupiers, and effectively turn the rest into silent slaves. Did you have to agree to this?
Absolutely all the leaders of the states were of the same opinion that Ukraine would not last more than a few days, and therefore they did not give it serious weapons for their defense. Therefore, they are still shocked by what the Ukrainians have done. In fact, they have already defeated the "second army of the world" and will soon drive the occupiers out of their territory.

Ruble is strong because the fuel prices are at all time high and Russia is earning around $25 billion per month in profits from the sales of oil, gas and coal. Wheat is also at very high levels, along with potash fertilizer. If the West want to destroy Russia, they can do that very easily. They just need to increase oil production so that the crude oil prices crash to $40 per barrel. But they are not ready to do that, since they don't want to antagonize Saudi Arabia. So in the foreseeable future, Russian economy will be able to survive the sanctions and embargoes.

When I saw recently from a report that the Russian ruble is becoming stronger and stronger, I began to imagine that maybe the US and EU is underestimating the economy of Russia. This is because there have been many speculations and predictions that the ruble would soon nosedive. Yet the Russian currency has gained almost 40% against the dollar becoming the highest performing currency. There are different reason that political-economics have attributed to this which includes the high price of oil and gas, restrictions on import and capital freight and forcing investors or clients to make payment in rubles. I am quite amazed at the economic prowess of Russia because I thought by now they would have been on their knees begging for a review of sanctions.

Russia is a super power, but it's activities of war and other crimes serve as a big setback. For this reason no country recognise it as a superpower. Russia doesn't need anyone's recognition, and no country stand in favour of them other than few neighbouring countries. Oil Wealth is a big source of Russia, and it always find ways to make others fear of them and keep the surrounding countries under its control. This isn't gonna work now.

A little about the "great Russia". Just facts

A small introduction - to describe the current situation in Russia, the phrase is ideal (I hope I can convey the meaning in English), which sounds like this: "... things in the country were going badly. That is, not so bad, one could even say - good, but every year it gets worse and worse.

- The Russian invasion of Ukraine set the Russian economy back four years in just one quarter after the attack (Bloomberg)

- The forecast of the Ministry of Economic Development in the base case for a fall in GDP in 2022 by 7.8% turned out to be more positive than the expectations of the Central Bank (a decline of 8-10%).

- The Bank of Russia forecasts a 7% GDP contraction in Q3 and even more in Q4 2022. The Bank of Russia estimates that the economy shrank by 4.3% in the second quarter. (Bank of Russia). Ministry of Economic Development - predicts (optimistic forecast) - a fall of 7.8% in 2022, but the reality is clearly worse

- Oil and gas production has declined. The allegedly high price on the world market, and, accordingly, the proceeds from the sale, are offset by the dumping price of the sale of "unnecessary" oil and gas to China and India. And it has not yet launched a program to reduce gas consumption in the EU, and has not yet entered the ban on the purchase of Russian oil by the EU.

- The forecast for a decline in oil production in the Russian Federation after the EU embargo is minus 20% right away!

- Gas. Gas has already begun to primitively BURN, just to avoid the conservation of wells. The conservation of wells, for technologically backward Russia, is equal to the closure of wells forever.

- Russian agriculture is not lagging behind in "successes": Vladimir Putin's ambitious plan to export 50 million tons of grain, which the Russian president flaunted at SPIEF, promising to rid the world of the threat of hunger, was in jeopardy. The Ministry of Agriculture sees risks for the collection of 130 million tons of grain planned for this year, head of the department Dmitry Patrushev said on Friday. It is being torn down by the weather and sanctions...

.... you can continue to state the facts about the "greatness" of Russia for a long time, but what greatness can a backward, third world country with a resource economy have?

And then there is the approach of losing the war, and global degradation for many decades

The countries of the European Union participating in the sanctions against Russia are the most affected by this war. And perhaps with the worst estimates, Ukraine will be the least harmful of all European countries, even if Russia makes it a colony entirely to it.
The American plan to isolate Russia cost it to sacrifice its European allies, including Ukraine.
The latest news indicates that European countries have begun to gradually abandon the sanctions they imposed on Russia, without this being reported in the media. They will not be able to hold out more than a few months, as winter is coming.

Russia is a super power and they're powerful. Being powerful can be connected with different things. Based on what is being found good in bitcoin, I state this to be powerful. To keep few countries under its control is different, and Russia wasn't able to be a superpower on such occasions, because countries give respect for what is being done.
