I disagree. I have no idea why anyone in their right mind would underestimate USA even after they have proved again and again why they are the most dominant superpower in the world in the long-term.

Russia and pathetic Putin are being criticised for the Ukraine war and their economy is suffering because of all the sanctions, COVID etc. This doesn't imply dominance in any manner whatsoever. Think!
Nit only Russia is suffering currently, all countries of the world are suffering due to the covid that hit the world without any information for us to get prepared. I still don't know why we keep agitating on dominant superpower because the world is meant to be peace and everybody living a healthy lifestyle. I am not in to argue on what country or region a tend to be more super power in the next decade or currently. Since the war in Ukraine started, I knew that something is going wrong and if we are not careful with the current conditions, this might lead to third world war that could destroyed the world.

How did people imagine Russia not being a superpower already is beyond me. hey have always been a super power and they will continue o be a super power for many more years as well. Do not mistake the fact that they have been hated by other nations (mostly western like us) doesn't mean that they are not a superpower. Are they the most powerful?

I do not think so, if we count nuclear weapons then we do not know who would win in a war because everyone would destroy each other anyway, there won't be life on earth. But, if we just look at non-nuclear regular old style fighting, USA and west would destroy Russia and China very very easily hence why I believe they are not the "biggest" but they are big.

The Ukrainian sources have stated recently that they are outnumbered and outgunned in the Donbass region. A few days back, I was watching an interview with an Ukrainian commander, who was saying that Russians fire 50,000 to 60,000 artillery pieces per day, while the Ukrainians can fire only around 5,000 per day. Given the fact that most of the deaths in this war has resulted from shelling, I don't think that it will be logical to assume that Russians suffered more casualties despite firing 10x shells. Western weapons maybe more accurate, but still that won't cover the 10x numerical advantage.

Also, most of the casualties on the Ukrainian side consists of Ukrainian citizens (up to 5% maybe from foreign volunteers). On the other hand, at least half of the Russian casualties are from non-citizens of Russia (mostly rebels from DPR/LPR).
Just a stupid move by Ukraine to fight with such a mighty power i.e. Russia. There is rear chance that ukarine win this war, they are just playing on behalf of USA and EU who just wanna down Russia without getting involved in the conflict directly. Its better in interest of Ukraine to negotiate with Russia and end this conflict. 
If your country are the ones that will be attacked, won't you fight back? Maybe yes because you are coward but Ukraine isn't like that and even if they know that Russia is an aggressive country, they didn't think twice but they just do what they can to stop them.

Other countries are proud of the bravely showed there by Ukraine, and that is why they send help not only in terms of financial but they also send their own armies to help Ukraine fight with Russia. At the end, even if Ukraine fails to win the war, that was fine. They will still look good in the eyes of the many because at least they have tried their best and they didn't do nothing while Russia are attaching them.

Could you show us some of those "proofs" too maybe we can also believe it. Over the past couple of decades the only thing US has been experiencing was a downtrend of their economy, society and military strength. US hasn't had any military victory ever since WWII. They have attacked a lot of defenseless countries though.

For example they sanctioned and disarmed Iraq for 10 years while bombing their defenses and airfields. Then after a decade they invaded the defenseless country and lost the final war.
They also invaded the defenseless country called Afghanistan that was controlled by cavemen (and I'm being literal) spent trillions of dollars and were defeated and had to donate $100 billion to the same cavemen to buy their safe passage while they escaped Afghanistan in the worse way possible.
Every day their bases in Middle East are being attacked and they can't do anything about it. 3 days ago for example one of the biggest bases in occupied Syria was bombed hard, all they did was to send back more body bags.
$7 trillion dollar and tens of thousands of dead US troops later they are fleeing the conflict they started.

I don't know who in their right minds considers this a super power.

I'm one of those people who don't like the US government one bit, but there's no denying that they are superpowers and they will continue to be the hegemon of the world for many years to come. Russia or China are still not strong enough to surpass them both economically or militarily.

But the balance of power in the world is becoming more and more balanced with the emergence of the BRICS bloc, a direct counterpart of the EU. This will make the world more balanced and will not depend so much on the US and the EU.

From what I have seen, the Russian economy is doing just fine. Their trade surplus is at all time high and they are benefitting immensely from the sky high fuel prices. The West tried to boycott Russian commodities and the latter just rerouted the exports to Asian countries such as India and China. Now nations such as Pakistan and Myanmar are lining up to purchase Russian hydrocarbons.

And they are not using USD anymore for these transactions.
More countries joining the new order but I doubt Russia comes to dominate when China is the leader of CBDC. Its China that will be dominating due to its nation building projects thru their Belt and Road as its their global interest.

The world leaders are courting Africa as it joins the revolution, Xi Jinping is about to visit Africa for the first time in years without traveling.

The centers of power in the world have changed in nature, and international alliances (as opposed to regional alliances) have become the dominant force. In other words, it is no longer correct to say that a particular country is the most powerful and dominant. The countries of the world need each other to meet the growing needs of each of them, and the successful force today is an economic alliance between powerful economies.
Russia cannot be an important part of the world scene without its allies China, India and even Iran.
America can only be strong under the cover of NATO, but unfortunately it is a military front rather than an economic one, so it is not able to face many challenges.

yes thats very much true. Role of USA and EU in ongoing conflict between Ukarine and Russia is very disappointing. Even NATO the military alliance is not able to help Ukarine to get rid of Russian invasion. Just supplying arms and placing ban on Russia (while EU begging for GAS to meet energy crisis) wont be able to defeat Russia.

Not a chance in hell Russia could be the next superpower. For all comparisons the US is still ahead of Russia in that department. Russia has neither the economic, military or cultural power to do so. China would be the likely candidate for the next dominant superpower and the best thing Russia can hope for is to piggyback of Chinas push for supremacy.
We can't doubt if America is the most powerful country right now in the world, the power and influence they have can make other countries afraid if they disturb America at this time, I personally totally agree, if China looks like it deserves to be the next superpower compared to Russia, in addition to their country starting to strengthen economically, the number of troops and also the complete weaponry they have has begun to threaten American power today.

I have not seen that representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have ever stated that in Donbass they have a numerical advantage in manpower. In terms of the number of artillery shots, they really indicated a multiple superiority, ten times or more. However, this is not along the entire eastern front, but on the main sectors of the Russian offensive. As is known, the losses of the advancing troops in relation to the defenders average three to one. And in the Donbass, the invaders are advancing on well-equipped positions over the past eight years. Therefore, it is likely that in this scenario, the losses of the Russians will still be higher.
In addition, the actual length of the front in Ukraine is about two and a half thousand kilometers. In other directions, the Russians do not have such a multiple advantage everywhere. In addition, the Ukrainians are fighting the invaders not with numbers, but with skill. Therefore, in general, the losses of Russians are several times higher than those of Ukrainians. We will be able to find out the final figures after the war.

It seems that you fundamentally choose analysts who give the lowest death rates for terrorists who attacked Ukraine, this is bad - you still can’t get away from reality Smiley
For example, British intelligence says that now, after the Armed Forces of Ukraine have received a lot of new weapons over the past 2 months, the death rate of rashists is up to 500 carcasses daily ... Plus, you can’t imagine how many corpses of terrorists are lying around the fields and forests where they are "for 2 weeks took all of Ukraine" Smiley
Plus, after a successful Jevelin or NLAV in an armored personnel carrier / BRDM / TANK, there is essentially nothing left of the crew. I personally saw an armored personnel carrier and a tank after such a hit - there are fragments of charred flesh and nothing more. Well, the most important thing is propaganda and cowardice of the Russian government! It's cowardly to hide your losses - it's just a national trait of the Russians! And it goes without saying to attribute the fabulous successes of your "second army of the world", the truth of the third world Smiley
So - self-deception can give a little positive, but it does not cease to be a deception Smiley

Kindly - a link to the original of this resource, and we will all figure it out together here what was meant there, how did you understand it, and what really?
You have a comfortable position. If the truth does not fit, it is enough to state that "a certain resource said" and add whatever your heart desires! Smiley


I'll tell you - many media in Russia, including some generals of the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, officially confirmed that more than 120,000 Russian Nazis were killed, all Russian aviation was destroyed, well, a couple of planes remained, and Putin, out of habit, pissed himself in his bunker, out of fear. This is true ! Or how ? Or is this "not the case"?
Let's do it this way - there is no link to the source - it means it's a lie! In my honest and fair. It’s a pity only supporters of rashist propaganda are guaranteed to refuse Smiley))


So:
1. Link to Ukrainian RESOURCE. Where is the verified information. Otherwise, to your nickname, through a hyphen, add the prefix "unpretentious liar" Smiley
2. A link to some "some resource" is considered a deliberate lie in advance? Smiley

The problem with anonymous telegram channels is that they all lie. Grin
....

I will skip all the propaganda nonsense you love so much, I will only respond to this phrase Smiley
What distinguishes Russia from the normal world? In a normal world - anonymous channels, it is possible that they are lying. Not everyone and not the fact that they lie.
But in Russia - everything is much cooler and better! In Russia, totally, 24 * 7, all state, official, channels lie Smiley

Well, for example, tell everyone here, the truth - who smokes so much in the temporarily occupied Crimea, and even at almost all air bases and ammunition depots? Smiley

Russian official statistics and its propaganda are false through and through
Your problem is thinking only things coming out of Russia are propaganda and anything the other side says is god's honest truth. There is a war going on and both sides are filling the media with a lot of propaganda ever second of every day.

Media propaganda is important part of Fifth-generation warfare (5GW), in media propaganda you have to portray your mistake as success and enemy success as your victory. Big media House like BBC, cnn, fox news are in hands of usa and west so that broadcast the real news of this conflict rather what suits usa and west.
I still wonder what Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his country get from this conflict? They are the one who provoked Russia for this war.

The war is now not only about tanks, bombers or missile systems but also about social media. Who controls the media has a certain dominance because of the misinformation propagated around the world.
That's why I never believed everything from the Western press about the war, there was always a multi-faceted view and overall we were really able to grasp the situation. Don't let the media lead by the nose us with lies.

^^^ LOL.. 120,000 killed and wounded. OK.. even if we take this wild claim, assuming that there is a 1:4 ratio for dead:wounded, we will arrive at around 24,000 deaths. Number of Russian deaths reported by BBC News Russian and Mediazona amount to 5,507. DPR/LPR deaths amount to ~4,000. Another 1,000 or so deaths can be attributed to PMC Wagner and other non-formal organizations. After taking in to account all the undercount, the most liberal estimate may be around 15,000 and out of which 1/3rd maybe Ukrainian citizens from DPR/LPR.

I just want to post one more statistic, which exposes the double speak from the Western nations:



These are the numbers from 24th Feb to 9th August (i.e after the war started). As you can see, the EU nations have contributed to more than half of Russia's revenues, in terms of oil, gas and coal imports. Even the war mongers and Russophobes such as Poland are there in the list. And at the same time, these shameless people are continuously blaming India for importing a small amount of crude oil from Russia. Can there be any limit to this hypocrisy? And I don't expect much from the Ukrainian users who are active in this thread. They don't have an issue in EU spending $60 billion on Russian fuel. They have issues only with India spending 1/10th of that amount on Russian crude.
