We all saw our assessment of Russian capabilities…..remember “catastrophic, humiliating and strategic defeat of Russia?” Now it’s “please give us $60bn or it’s the end of NATO.”

Ukrainian Chief of the general staff, Syrsky, said "Constantly underestimate Russia lead to an assured defeat". Remember what media used to say one year and half ago : Russia has exhausted all its missiles ; Russia pretends to have functional hypersonic Kinzhal and Zircon ; Russia has a poor army, with no equipment, no good training, and most of the soldiers are drugged and drunk soldiers. Etc.

Not a first-class nuclear power. THE first-class nuclear power.

She is so clever until it is too late. I hope she is not an acting advisor to a person who can't find his way of the stage. Otherwise, we are all doomed.

Burevestnik missile is the above ground version of Poseidon. A nuclear powered nuclear armed cruise missile can can fly for months in the wild blue yonder and wait for orders from the head office. Nasty.

Russia conducts military conflicts only on its border, aimed at protecting Russia's security. Russia has never attacked remote countries. Russia has never used nuclear weapons. At the same time, the United States is fighting a huge number of military conflicts far from its borders due to its strength and resources. The United States has killed hundreds of thousands of civilians in remote corners of the world. It was the United States that used nuclear weapons twice, but not for military purposes, but intentionally against the civilian population. It is unlikely that Russia will strike first. It doesn't make any sense. but the US aggression is quite obvious

To those who does not understand: Poseidon is not a nuclear submarine. Poseidon is a nuclear powered, nuclear missile/torpedo, that can loiter underwater for weeks, and denotates underwater.

The Russian NUCLEAR TORPEDO POSEIDON can carry a HYDROGEN BOMB if The Armed Forces of Russia wish it so. So just because it MAY not be a 100 megaton warhead, it sure can pack a punch, anytime, anywhere.
