Russia’s Ascension to Global Military Superiority

Prior to embarking on what may be a futile textual endeavour, if mis-information is the case, Russian claims and real world demonstrations appear to have tilted the scales. No longer is the USA the world’s military No.1 if media claims both US and Russian are to be believed.

Reality supports at least the fact that Russian guidance, targeting and cyber warfare systems are well in advance of America’s, prompting the comment, “impressive” from a Pentagon brass monkey. Russia demonstrated to the WORLD when they launched breath-taking ultra-precision missile strikes against Syrian rebel positions from the Mediterranean Sea, which act dispelled immediately the derisive laughter of neocons in Washington, “what could Russia do?” [to stop us] after America launched its invasive illegal (terrorist) wars on numerous resource rich and strategically located nations, all the while enlisting the support of ultra-extremist terrorists as proxy fighters in Libya and now Syria, which nations mentioned, I should emphasise, Russia and China abandoned, before being forced to defend Syria, with Iran as the final target.

I would also mention that when Russia and China failed to support traditional ally Yugoslavia, the test case Balkan war of the 90‘s, what other conclusion could neocons come to? They couldn’t believe their luck and were easily able to believe in their own dreamworld of global supremacy.

But things have changed dramatically, Russia at a fraction of the cost of America’s weapons development/manufacture has produced more advanced and capable weapons than the USA, a tentative fact if all considerations are weighed. However, America has emphatically demonstrated to the world that outsourcing development in this critical area produces exorbitantly expensive lemons/failures, the F-35 strike fighter (flying lemon) being the most notable example. So we could rationally assume that Russia in fact does lead America in weapons systems at the present time, which is a HUGE development in its own right, and people wonder why that duplicitous, sell-out bastard Putin is always smirking and cares less what the Americans do or say, notwithstanding he has Trump eating out of the palm of his duplicitous hand.

Now with a real shift in military superiority comes a shift in global reach-power, but the Russians and Chinese are not screaming from the roof-tops about it. China’s new silk road initiative for the 21st century, the BRI, would soon be ready to destroy global trade dominance by US corporations/multi-nationals, for which all American wars are fought. The Russians are now able to neutralise and obliterate US defenses with their new weapons and the Sino-Slavic alliance is now something to be reckoned with economically and militarily, an example of how co-operation (rather than conflict) between Asian superpowers is easily able to make short work of US global dominance, as America is forced to do it ALL alone today, it remains the most reviled nation on earth for obvious reasons.

So the west is facing a new future completely foreign to anything it has known in the past, as old and recent alliances crumble on a daily basis.

My advice is learn Mandarin if you wish to compete in the new age, nevertheless, remember that the old must be swept away first and that could be painless or very painful indeed, as any nation that once led the world does not surrender with a whimper or without a fight, which could be the fight to end all fights, unless sanity prevails in Washington, fat chance!
