Every country has something to be proud of, but I can't remember a country that is a master of offensive war. Country that declared war and win, got territory and keep it for centuries.
but 1945 shows that it was temporarily. 5 - 6 years and all this gains are gone.
Russian Empire is collapsed - USSR is smaller. Russia is smaller than USSR.
Empire lose war with Japan. USSR lose war in Afganistan, powerfull USA lose war in Vietnam.
Also USA do nothing in Afgan. Most territories are under of anti government organisations.
This is why I wrote DEFENCE. People are better at defence. For example: Nazi germany went to war with USSR with 6 millions soldaires. USSR then had something around 150 millions people. Definately more.
Why Russia is the master of defence war?
Russia is mastered 4 tools of war.
1st tool - internet payment systems.
You've heard of Pay Pal, but did you hear about QIWI?
QIWI is a Russian PayPal, but I would say better. You registering with a telephone number, hence it's more secure. You can send money with a message "15 $ -- Hey, I bought your vibraton, please send me a file to [email protected]". Also russia has Webmoney. Russia has good, really modern, banking system.
You may think Cardano it is a future of transactions, or IOTA, but I am waithing Russian's move. I think Russia and China are the kings of internet money.
2 tool - Oil and nature gas.
You know that tank T-90 use a liter of benz per 0.344366403 kilometers. It's something around 3 litres per kilometer. War is really fuel driven. You have oil, you can fight. It's a blood of war.
If you cut fuel supply, then you cut his throat.
3 tool - killing machines
Recently Putin said that nucliar weapon is an old stuff - we have something better.
This is why russia has denuclearization program. Russia is famous for their military technique. It's very efficient. AK gets better and better.
4 tool - Propaganda
Have you heard of Maslov pyramid? In Russia we can do little adgustmens to this
Russia has very powerful propaganda. Old people are all into this TV news world. They watch and then speak about those events. Putin come every day to say that something is cool or someone is bad.
There is interesting news construction: Russia is winning in Syria, Russia is developing something, USA is evil, Ukraine are doomed and last two story about something interesting.
This construction is repeat itself every day.
Yes, I am exaggerate, but it's really common to people be interested in politics.
