Hyper-power, seriously? Russia is not even a super power, it only has some nuclear weapons, that’s all. Just like India, Pakistan, France, Israel, etc. In all likelihood most Russia’s nuclear weapons aren’t even operable anymore.


I suggest you read, at least, the 2nd paragraph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Armed_Forces

Oh my! Someone made the Russian troll angry. Poor little troll having no way to respond and have to switch tactic


He’s not wrong, Russia is a gas station run by a mafia that happens to have nuclear weapons, not a superpower.

Superpowers don’t threaten to use their nuclear weapons, they don’t need to.


All official nuclear countries have threatened with their nukes, as far as I know. The unofficial of course stay silent.


I think I’ve heard about NAFO being mentioned, but didn’t pay any attention to it. Thanks for the tip!


Cope :-) Pyat rubley have been deposited into your Sparkasse account.


god russians are pathetic lol


I mention NAFO and I instantly get 5 or 6 replies, which goes to show who forms the main (non-bot) demographic of that group.


I think you just made a lot of people aware of it. Although I doubt people care all that much, unlike you do.

It's pretty insulting; as if people don't have agency and can't form their own opinions. No, it can only happen due to some external boogeyman, which seems to be NAFO in your case.

You seem to live in a very different world.
