Are they still a super power?

They never were; they needed food handouts from the US to keep them going even under the Soviet Union. Today, the average person earns something like $400 a month, nothing like the American dream. Russia have leverage with nuclear weapons, nothing else. Russia is a gas station run by oligarchs LARPin as a country. It's never been the same since they murdered the Romanovs; before then Russia produced more food than Argentine, Canada and the US combined.

Are you retarded? How 5,000 dead will change anything? Even 30,000 per Ukraine won't change much it's not like we are sending scientists and philosophers, it's full volunteer force that would either way sit in their base and do nothing. Also, male surplus.

They got their asses handed to them by a former Soviet rump state so badly that they had to retreat and focus only on Donbas.

No.

I don't know. Nuclear weapons aren't enough. Israel has nukes and they're not a superpower.

400 dollars is a lot of money for the average russian kek

nuclear armed power, not a super power

Soviet union was always an odd case because they overspent on military to the point where they could be considered a superpower on that level, but the general population was one step away from breadlines. Russia is the same, they are missing a few puzzle pieces, they are a regional power with a large legacy nuclear arsenal.

Why did your dad rape you in front of your rabbi kike?

The soviet Union was a superpower. The Russian Nazi Federation has never been anything more than a weak regional power with an outsized arsenal of weapons and a 4rth Reich mentality.

Because Ukraine is winning, amirite?

>t. CNN brain
Russia will always be a major power simply due to their natural resources and their nuclear weapons.
They will never be a military behemoth (they will have

lol no

No, but they are a pooper sour.

Kikes are the global empire. We live in a jewish empire

What the fuck are you doing here? You don't belong here. Any Forums is an American forum. Russian Nazis are toxic human waste that may be infesting this place now, but hopefully Putin will range ban your shitty asses soon and you won't have any internet.

Basically a third world extraction based economy with nukes.

oh, you are b8
you have to be slightly less retarded to actually bait people

They haven't been a superpower since before I was born (I was born in 1992)

Turns out, yes.
NATO have been fighting goat herders for 40 years and it turns out that all their tactics are obsolete against a technically competent opponent. They're now shitting themselves and have hundreds of billions of $ of equipment and training that is useless.

Regional power since 1991. 24 feb 2022 lower the veil completely.
At this moment we have only two superpowers - US and China.

NATO forces are actually engaging in combat with Russia? Where?

They won't be after they're done in Ukraine, they're wasting so much equipment, manpower, and time

I don't understand why Putin can't see this is going to lead to China invading them

They stopped being superpower in late 80s
