A retired British general, Sir Mike Jackson, issued a warning about Vladimir Putin’s plans to revive the Soviet Union, reports the British tabloid Daily Express. Translation provided by "InoTV"

The publication notes that this statement was made after British Prime Minister Theresa May in her speech addressed to business representatives, accused Vladimir Putin of trying to split the West, cyber espionage, violation of the airspace of European countries and interference in elections in other countries.



Media: the British general suspects Putin in an attempt to revive the USSR


According to the newspaper, in a recent interview, retired general Mike Jackson linked Russia's attributed interference in Europe with Putin’s plans to revive the USSR.

I always remind people what Vladimir Putin said publicly <...> that the worst - the worst, let me emphasize - what happened in the XNUMXth century is worse than two world wars, worse than the Holocaust, worse than the Great Depression, the worst was the collapse of the Soviet Union
- declared the British military.

In his opinion, this says a lot about Putin. He sees modern Russia as the successor of the status of a great power, like the Soviet Union. Therefore, the British general believes, the Russian leader is trying to recreate it.

The publication notes that the words of Sir Mike seem to refer to Vladimir Putin’s statement 2005 of the year, in which he called the collapse of the USSR “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century”.

                  The USSR as it was, of course, will not be reborn. The catastrophe of Gorbachev’s parish showed that the ban on all parties except the communist party was a mistake. Opposition (I emphasize - HEALTHY, NOT FINANCED BY THE WEST, AND CONSIDERING OF PATRIOTS) opposition is a necessary element of the government, so as not to get too excited, as happened with the leadership of the USSR.
                  But the UNION OF STATES BASED ON MUTUAL RESPECT - yes, it is possible to create. And this Union is growing stronger now. And in the future it will destroy the economy of the dollar, and the whole West will collapse with it. I hope the last war can be avoided.

                    I wonder if the state is based on popular power, what other parties could be in it? Monarchists, anarchists, Socialist-Revolutionaries, Cadets? Now the Cadet movement is being revived. This is the same thing that bloody Sunday staged in 1905, having shot an unarmed demonstration. Did the Cadets have to be allowed in the Soviet Union? Or Vlasovites? Or give fists to steer? It seems that you vaguely imagine what you are advising.
                    USSR leadership snickering? Where did you get such data? If you are talking about state deliveries, machines from the chernushny cinema of the 80s, then now things are similar. And this is normal. People who are responsible for the state should not have restrictions in such elementary and, in general, cheap things, such as car-dachas. The damage from the unsettled life of senior leaders will be immeasurably higher.
                    True, the Soviet leadership was decrepit, did not prepare a worthy change, and missed the traitors in power, missed the education of young people and lost the information war to the west. That’s why.
                    About the union of states on the basis of mutual respect, this is utopia. The world has changed irreversibly. The main value for citizens now is money. And if the leadership of the states can still feel that collective security, common production capacities and the economic space are more important than solid cash, then this is not familiar to ordinary citizens. They continue to think in terms of "what I will have" and "stop feeding the republic." Alas.
                    And we lost the working class. Slowly but surely, our society is transforming from winning builders (construction sites of the century, social conquests, storms in space, a social camp) into consumer vegetables (taking away property and land of enterprises and collective farm land and land of pioneer camps for buying summer cottages near the city and apartments in historical part and with a view, personal transport with traffic jams instead of public on the free roads, social networks instead of real communication and books, etc.). The Vegetable Society is unable to build relationships with neighbors on the principles of mutual respect and mutual assistance. Because such ideas are not provided for in the concept of modern society.
                    Or the power of the people, or the power of capital. There is no third way. While you are looking for a third way, everything will be decided for you. While we decide that the power of capital is closer to us.
                    While Putin and the oligarchs agree with a carrot and stick, the situation is under control. As soon as the power changes (sooner or later it will happen, because there is no continuity and no party, but there are a bunch of like-minded people who, without a leader, are an empty place), everything will be like in a prosperous West, everything will be according to Marx. And then just hold on. European problems will seem like flowers to you.

                      The same Communists periodically had very different trends within the party. Mao Zedong led the party different from Khrushchev. Czechoslovakia built its "socialism with a human face." The opposition, if it is competent, and not financed from abroad, can be used for good, and not crush tanks.
                      But the leadership is not decrepit, but rotted.
                      When, during a famine, the People’s Commissariat provides its workers with decent rations, this is normal. When in peacetime high-ranking workers are provided with good apartments - this is normal.
                      When soldiers build summer cottages for the generals, when the waiter is quoted above the engineer, when the seller in the store hides goods "for the elite", when there are special stores "for their own" - THIS IS ROT.

                    Correct - MVG .. Well, okay. The weapon of the United States has always been money, and this weapon from your hands has been knocked out of the Russian Federation. Proof - gold return requirements. Fort Knox is empty. And what should be stored there has disappeared. The scandal with gilded nickel for the PRC in the United States was suppressed by all means. Lesotho is a place in Africa that the United States held as the last frontier for the elite bought up by the Russian Federation and China.
                    In the United States, processes are going on as in the USSR in the 80s. Your leaders, politicians and journalists talk to the population with slogans, analogies and cliches, and this is a sure sign of separation from the bulk of the population - a sign of the end of the state. Your FEMA has prepared coffins and cartridges for civilian weapons - the government is waiting for mass performances with blood. And this is inside you.
                    Weapons: Abrams to modify - no blueprints, nuclear weapons - not modified or updated 25 years (scheduled maintenance period - 5 years), in space - fly on our engines, electronics in military developments - China.
                    We have. 45% update of the air and ground fleet, new tactics and strategies for warfare. Your elite PMCs in Ilovaisk in the amount of 2000 people. A. Merkel saved by a personal visit to Putin .. Our missiles from the Caspian are hammering your proteges (ISIS) in Syria. Our long-range aviation is flying over Washington and the outskirts of London. Our submarines for the US are black holes. Our hyperspeed rockets up to 20 max (an example is a downed Chebarkul meteorite).
                    Yes, after applying all this, I will come to you on the T-34 and no one will even dare to blather. And you tell me about the T-72 ??? Yes, you really laugh ???

                      What? Almost half? Remind about your fleet? Fleet? If there is something new then somewhere around 30%, no more. More talk than real achievements. I recall the “killer Abramov” and “killer F-35. Until you talked about T-50, the United States took and made more than 200 F-35.

                        Yes, the Russian economy is in poor condition. But I would love to look at the States if they only in the last 100 years survived two revolutions in their country, a civil war (by the way, during which America made good money in Russia), the Great Patriotic War after which America would be in ruins with industry destroyed. Then this fucking perestroika, another coup d'etat in August 1903. And all these revolutions and perestroika were accompanied by a complete change in the political and economic course. Although, if you could answer yourself honestly, could there be America in such conditions as it is now? And do not forget about the external debt of the USA and the Russian Federation, which is clearly not comparable. America has external debt of $ 20 trillion, which is 77% of its GDP. External debt of the Russian Federation is 537,5 billion, $? F 'nj 14,7% from its GDP. Do you feel the difference?

                        Our standard of living is terrible only in the speeches of liberals paid from the USA.
                        Example: at a time on vacation in Turkey, about 20% of citizens with low-paying professions are vacationers. Half of the female population traditionally walks in furs in winter. Cars in the Russian Federation per capita - 0,7 units. When the price increase began, we rushed to buy cars, all dealerships were empty. At the plants - program management, in agriculture high-tech BELARUSIAN equipment. All varieties of cheese, traditionally considered valuable, are made by our manufacturers. Meat, fish, poultry, grain, milk - domestic.
                        And we live in houses that are made of concrete, brick, steel, timber. And the cost of housing with us an average of 600-800 dollars. per sq. m. - in the property. Everything with the economy is normal.

                        For Tomahawk.
                        Hello again.
                        According to our technology: 30% of the upgrade of the military park of the Russian Federation recognized by you is already a monstrous amount, so not a single state is being updated. But we also upgrade the old equipment so that your new one is not suitable for it. Our submarines are called "black holes" by your military experts in their usual analogistic manner, they don’t say that.
                        According to your technique: Our RPG-7 was adopted by the US Army and is produced for it in the USA, your Abrams are modified only in part of the tower, the rest cannot be strengthened because there is not enough engine power. Our active protection for tanks of the 80s model was acquired in an integrated form on the T-72 in Ukraine, exported in 2012 and yours still cannot deal with it. Of all the training battles, the SU-30 with the F-35, the SU-30 comes out victorious, and your military specialists are silent about the results. But the long languages ​​of your journalists regularly give out this "secret." F-35 is invisible ?? Fairy tales! Even our outdated S-200 systems bring him down. F-35 made 200 pieces. Well done !! But this is not an indicator of quality, but lobbying for interests in the US Senate of the interests of F-35 manufacturers. For in business you need to sell as much as possible before the buyer wakes up. F-35 is an unreliable aircraft, your journalists say: it has poor horizontal stability, computers crash, problems with virtual reality and oxygen supply to the pilot, it is incredibly expensive and just as insanely expensive to maintain.

Aircraft for air launches is a technology purchased in Ukraine, which you still cannot bring to mind.
                        The United States is not a country, it is a business and all that is inextricably linked with it: to praise a product, to bribe cursors of someone else’s product and to sell bullshit. You have never had and never will have quality, by virtue of the foregoing

The Russian Federation is almost one on one the whole world practically with Belarus, Iran, there are still CIS countries but their economy is so weak that let me not comment.

In addition, Erdogan, although tyrant, but not, he makes the difference between membership in NATO and his own economy. China will still leave from $, t. K. claims to be one of the leading roles in the world, and its economy allows it. China has long been tired of America, which for any movement that it does not like is threatened by sanctions and “bringing democracy” (by the way, the whole world has already perfectly understood that the US doesn’t give a damn about democracy, they simply bomb and destroy countries that do something in their interests, not the interests of the United States). Venezuela is now supported by Russia, so it’s hard to say how it will end. , and a small economy, but together they are all the same what they are. But with Britain it’s very curious in general. This is a country that, earlier than America, realized that it was better to fight with the wrong hands, pitting countries against each other. And therefore the economy she is also better than Russia. Do you know how many times she set Turkey against Russia? Great British wine is also great in defeating the Russian fleet under Tsushima. Do not give recommendations on pyroxylin to Russian admirals (although ours are also good, as we always believed "good" Europe), Russia won would be in the very first battle. And how many countries did she conquer when she colonized them? And let us recall the "opium wars" in China, which were caused precisely by England? And you can talk about the war with India, the sepoy uprising, as well as about the Boer War. But there is little to say. Great Britain, unlike Russia, conquered and colonized hundreds of countries and territories around the world, robbing and exporting values ​​from there, natural wealth. And you didn’t forget to count the money that Britain actually stole from the Russian Empire? In 1914, Russian gold bullion was transferred to British banks in the amount of $ 50 billion. They planned to pay for them with the supply of military equipment and weapons. None of them have been completed. It turned out that the British factories are simply not able to fulfill such a large order. But the gold was not returned. War, you know, once. And in the 17th year, there seemed to be no one ... Yes, remind the stone, what kind of wars were fought on the territory of modern Britain? I don’t mention World War II! As far as I know, the Germans bombed only London several times. Yes, tragedy, people died, almost one and a half thousand people. But can this be compared with the destroyed cities of the Soviet Union? Are the losses in industry in Great Britain and the USSR comparable? So no need for the UK and its economy.

          I don’t know here. Yesterday I shot down Russian planes. Today I show sympathy for the Russian Federation. Better not to predict. The Turkish economy is almost equally connected with the Russian Federation and the EU. It just probably does not want sanctions from either side.
          Also, China has long been fed up with America, which, for any movement that it does not like, is threatened with sanctions and "bringing democracy"
          The economy of China is very connected with the United States. It’s just that the United States exports production to the PRC because labor is cheaper there. China makes very good money on this. Yes, there isn’t much foreign policy either. They are taking timid steps in the Indian Ocean. Now the PRC is the “workshop of the world”, and it’s very profitable for them. You would choose: 1) to sit in China and earn big money; 2) to go build your ideology with a poor economy.
          (By the way, the whole world already perfectly understood that the States did not care about democracy, they simply bombed and destroyed countries that did something in their interests, and not in the interests of the United States).
          Let me disagree. Yugoslavia? DPRK? Libya? Iraq? Those countries in which everything was fine? Repression, dictatorship, some terrorism. Although you are right about Afghanistan. The United States supplied weapons, and then it was used against the United States.
          The CIS countries may have a small economy, but together they are all the same something.
          The economy of almost any NATO country will block the economies of these countries.
          Great Britain is generally very curious.

            Of course you can. During World War I, Russia borrowed money from other countries, because military expenses demanded a lot of money .. and a large amount of weapons that RI simply wouldn’t have time to physically manufacture. The UK was ready to give loans to buy weapons from her (!!!), but she required a deposit in the form of pure gold, which the king agreed to. Great Britain and its other "allies" constantly pressured Russia, demanding additional supplies of Russian gold as a condition for granting military loans at the interstate level. During the war, Russia transferred 498 tons of gold to the Bank of England; 58 tons were soon sold, and the remaining 440 tons were in Bank of England safes as collateral.
            According to the Soviet historian Sidorov, gold was delivered to England in December 1915, in June 1916 and in February 1917. Interest-free obligations were issued in exchange for 3 to 5 years in returning gold after the war. These obligations were credited to the balance sheet of the State Bank as “Gold Abroad”, which made it possible to use them as formal support for the ongoing issue of credit tickets.
            According to some reports, 1917 tons of Nicholas II's personal gold were also sent to Great Britain in early 5,5 (to the Bank of the Bering Brothers).
            After the end of the First World War, gold was not returned from Great Britain, the USA, Sweden to Russia, although most of it was not used to finance military purchases. The UK simply "did not have time" to make the right amount of weapons for Russia, and somehow it arrived too soon revolution in Russia, the emergence of a new state instead of the Russian Empire - the USSR, which, it turns out, no one owes anything.
            But Russia of the time of Humpbacked and EBN ... this is already beyond the bounds of idiocy ...
            In August 1986, Margaret Thatcher, announced that her country rejected claims for the royal debts of Russia in the amount of £ 900 million. (However, no one from the representatives of Great Britain could clearly explain where this debt came from, only those then accounting books and financial documents, which, naturally, at that time of general admiration and apology for the existence of our country, no one from the top leadership of the country delved into at that time). Gorbachev immediately responded with a generous gesture - he signed a decree on forgiving England 2 billion pounds, which she owed us in compensation for the damage caused by the British troops during the occupation of the northwestern regions of Russia in 1918-1920.

    But I would love to look at the States, if only in the last 100 years they would survive two revolutions in their country, a civil war (by the way, during which America made good money in Russia), the Great Patriotic War, after which America would be in ruins with industry destroyed. Then this fucking perestroika, another coup in August 1903. And all these revolutions and perestroika were accompanied by a complete change of political and economic course.
    Without it, in Germany it was much worse in the 20th century, but now Germany pays most of the EU bills. Yes, and in the 19th century, the Russian economy did not openly shine.

So these two parts of Germany did not rise on their own, not at their own expense. and another pretty interesting point. where did the Nazi party go? After all, his traces have not yet been found. I'm not talking about gold hidden in other countries, namely, that which was in Germany. What is his fate? There is an opinion of some historians that it was extradited (fully or almost completely) to the States for their "condescending" attitude towards some Wehrmacht officials and for helping them take refuge in other countries. The States also took many of Germany’s prominent scientists, who were Germans collected from all the conquered countries and "invited" them to work for themselves.

      they then restored it.
      You know, the Berlin Wall was built by the Germans almost overnight. I honestly don’t imagine that the Soviet Union could do this. Germany was rebuilding after the First World War. This is where the German people themselves manifest.
      There is an opinion of some historians that it was issued
      I don’t know here either, if there are any documents, then it’s probably under the column “TOP SECRET.” We don’t need to know this. I think that let the gold lay where it lies. At best, in the Museum. wink
      .Likewise, the States took for themselves many of the outstanding scientists of Germany, who the Germans gathered from all the conquered countries and "offered" them to work for themselves.

      Great Britain and the USSR and the USA were engaged in this.

        1. No matter what the German people may be, without finance and economics all its advantages are equal to zero.
        2. The States took a lot more scientific research and scientists. While the Soviet troops finished off the Nazis, America quickly fussed
        3. In one of the comments I mentioned to you that Great Britain grabbed $ 50 billion worth of Russian gold bullion. I only forgot to say that after the collapse of the USSR, the Russian Federation took over not only all the debts of the USSR, but also the debts of the Russian Empire, parts of which the Bolsheviks refused during the revolution. It seems to me that it would be fair if the other countries gave Russia what they had taken from the Russian Empire. However, for some reason this was not done, and not a single country even hinted at it. I mean the fact that some European countries and the States (from December 1915 to November 1916, Russia supplied $ 23 billion in gold to the United States as an advance payment for weapons and gunpowder. The United States government invested money for its own military needs, and Russia did not receive either money or weapons.,), they simply simply appropriated Russian money for themselves, constantly accusing it of a weak economy and backwardness.
        Although, rightly so. We should not show nobility with those who understand this less than the mole in the light bulb.

          Well, that scientists in the USA were taken away there is nothing illegal, the USA, as you said, just thought about it before.
          , they simply simply appropriated Russian money for themselves, constantly blaming it at the same time for a weak economy and backwardness.
          I don’t know, even if the United States paid that $ 23 billion, I’m not sure that something would have changed in the Russian economy, and to be honest, I recently read a book about World War I written by a famous British historian, in which he says that the Russian Empire made a very big contribution to the victory over the German Empire, while not receiving anything. Although if there weren’t a Revolution, maybe everything would have happened differently.

            I think that would change. In any case, Russia would not have to do everything from scratch after the revolution. According to the estimates of the British firm Pinkerton, Russia is currently entitled to claim its gold worth $ 100 billion, as well as real estate with a total value of $ 300 billion. And again, it is not curious: why did Russia pay off the debts of the Russian Empire to other countries, but nobody is going to give back its debts. Judge for yourself:
            in 1916, the Russian Empire transferred the equivalent of 300 tons of gold to the foreign currency accounts of Japanese banks. The transfer is confirmed today by the successors of the then Japanese banks, but with a return it is somehow silent.
            In 1922, Lenin sent 93,5 tons of gold to Germany, which turned out to be a "trophy" in the "Bank de France" in Paris. In 1963, the status of this gold was confirmed by an agreement at the level of the governments of the USSR and France. The Russian side agreed to give 45 tons to pay off old Russian debts in favor of France. And 48,5 tons of gold have not yet been returned to us. The National Bank of France also stores $ 25 billion worth of Russian gold bullion transferred in 1914.
            Now about my "beloved" States. The foundation of its financial system - the Fed - was laid by Abraham Lincoln and Nikolai II. To create a “gold pool”, Russia contributed 48,6 tons of gold stored in Spain to the “authorized capital” of the IFS. However, Woodrow Wilson, who came to power in 1913, transferred this system to private hands. Currently, 88,8% of the Fed The USA belongs to Russia. In addition, between the United States and Russia, agreements were signed on the transfer of our gold not as a gift, but for rent for a period of 100 years, which expired in 2013.
            The agreement specifically noted that the interest rate on the use of 48,6 tons of Russian gold reserves per year is 4% per annum. However, these percentages have never been paid, although America has always recognized the rights of the USSR to invest in the Fed made by tsarist Russia.
            Well, now let's repeat our mantra about a strong US economy and a weak Russian economy ....

              But you probably understand that with such relations between the Russian Federation and the Western World, no one will repay these loans. And this does not cancel the fact that the gas industry accounts for 70% of the Russian economy. And the fact that the US economy is stronger than the Russian economy.

                You know, I’ve just returned from a walk with our sand, and sometimes clever thoughts appear in the fresh air. I want to apologize to you, I didn’t answer you exactly. No, in terms of numbers, everything is fine, just not quite in essence. You say that "even if the United States paid the $ 23 billion, I’m not sure that something would have changed in the Russian economy." But it seems to me that it would have changed. States, like people, have been saving their wealth not for years, but for decades and centuries. Imagine that your family was completely robbed, deprived of everything, only bare walls were left one hundred years ago. And now those who plundered your ancestors live in abundance based on these wealth stolen from your ancestors, but they say to you: think what is it? The affairs of bygone days, the old legends of the past, how could your money help your ancestors? This is exactly what happens to Russia. It is reproached by poverty for those who robbed it, who appropriated for themselves what they had earned and created generations for their country and their descendants. After World War I they left her a beggar, having pumped out everything that is possible (sometimes it seems to me that she was dragged into the war for the sake of "cannon fodder" and in order to rob her under the pretext of making weapons for her. The writer Averchenko has a surprisingly sad story “Khlebushko.” It is small, only 1-2 pages long. If it is interesting, find it on the Internet and read. It is there that the whole truth is about Russia and World War II). Then there was the Entente in Russia. And they also stole, plundered everyone who was not lazy. The notorious English and Americans were well "distinguished". The Japanese were also noted. Well, okay, with "tyrant" Stalin they somehow raised the country at the cost of incredible efforts. So the Great Patriotic War began, too, by the way , not without the help of the West and the States. There America was already in the allies, it seems as though somewhere helped. True, for the sickly money in the form of gold. Although, none of these countries was an altruist, not like the fool Rasseyushka. War is war, and business must be continued. He defeated the USSR (although the States, as always, shout about their victory, but we are modestly trying to object, prove our victory with facts, although who needs it there?) Then several decades of hard work to raise a ruined country. And here you are, came Judas Mechny, and then a “democratic” drunk Yeltsin (who was stubbornly pushed through the States for a second term). Who says that the States did not take any part in the collapse of the USSR? But what about the American medal Congress "For a victory in the Cold War", which is issued not as a military, but as a civilian? About how American "advisers" from Harvard destroyed our country and the economy, I’m tired of talking. But the Constitution, written by the Americans for Russia, is a land mine actions, and all the pitfalls in it creep out gradually, which is precisely what prevents it from developing our economy. Then the Chechen wars, for which militants were prepared by the Saudis with American money. And money left the treasury for this. Now R Russia is forced to intervene in Syria. And why? Yes, because the States need this territory because of oil. And again, our budget costs. And now tell me, dear man, what makes the American economy so good? And why is Russia forever poor? And in general, why does America eat at the expense of others, including Russia? Now that they will not repay loans. They will not repay, I know. They will only reproach us with our poverty. And we will again wipe ourselves out. And the point is not that such relations with the West and America. They simply will not return, whatever relations may be. These countries in themselves are like that. Well, you can’t honestly and in all honesty. A thousand times Russia has stepped on this rake and will be stepping on them as much again. Only here is the request ... at least for our credulity, at least for the fact that you use our money for free, do not reproach us with a weak economy. If Russia is to blame for this, it’s only its eternal naivety. And now we are trying not only to sell hydrocarbons. Our agricultural products have gone for export all over the world, as well as many high-tech products. And I will tell you a big secret: Russia still sells more than one and a half thousand pointe shoes namely to the States, which are very much appreciated by all leading ballerinas there. And the States are very pleased to buy Russian motorcycles with a Ural stroller in manual manufacture. Still, the States are very happy to buy scanning probe microscopes from Russia for their research centers ..

    For Tomahawk.
    Our standard of living is terrible only in the speeches of liberals paid from the USA.
    Example: at a time on vacation in Turkey, about 20% of citizens with low-paying professions are vacationers. Half of the female population traditionally walks in furs in winter. Cars in the Russian Federation per capita - 0,7 units. When the price increase began, we rushed to buy cars, all dealerships were empty. At the plants - program management, in agriculture high-tech BELARUSIAN equipment. All varieties of cheese, traditionally considered valuable, are made by our manufacturers. Meat, fish, poultry, grain, milk - domestic.
    And we live in houses that are made of concrete, brick, steel, timber. And the cost of housing with us an average of 600-800 dollars. per sq. m. - in the property. Everything with the economy is normal.

      As for weapons.
      F-35 almost without loss won in training battle with all European and American
      4 generation fighters.
      Of all the training battles, the SU-30 with the F-35, the SU-30 comes out victorious, and your military specialists are silent about the results. But the long languages ​​of your journalists regularly give out this "secret." F-35 is invisible ?? Fairy tales! Even our outdated S-200 systems bring him down.
      Do you think the United States, being in very bad relations with the Russian Federation, will still conduct training battles and will test invisibility on the S-200? And even if this was the case, the United States will never give out its secrets and tactics of air combat. All the shortcomings that you brought to your comments can be eliminated, a matter of time, and on 200 machines it is easier to eliminate shortcomings than on 10. The machine is new, unfinished. It recalls the situation with firearms, at first people laughed at you, then justified themselves.
      Cosmos: You still fly on our engines, you did not have your own offspring. Development Ilona Mask engines - these are concepts that were recognized by us as unpromising and were sold to you for a lot of money in the 90s. Aircraft for air launches is a technology purchased in Ukraine that still cannot be brought to your mind
      please do not make me say that we deliver to Russia. Although you probably know yourself.
      your Abrams are modified only in part of the tower, the rest cannot be strengthened because there is not enough engine power.
      Abrams is still successfully used, which cannot be said about the T-90. Everyone can speak of superiority, and military operations are an invaluable experience and an objective indicator.

        In Soviet times, I had a Buffalo buffalo leather jacket - a good thing, and now they are made not in the USA, but in Africa. And the quality is appropriate.
        The Russian Federation supplies the United States: titanium, vanadium, tungsten, aluminum, enriched uranium (from 1991 to spring 2017), rocket fuel, rocket engines (the third time I write about them).
        Russian technologies in the USA: HARP, Laser weapons, infrasound weapons, super-heavy aircraft, space shuttle (Spiral project)

          The USA supplies to the Russian Federation: automobiles, electronics (in most cases, companies from the USA simply export their production from the USA to the PRC, because labor is cheaper there. In fact, most electronic devices from the PRC are licensed production of a US product. So, production in China is engaged in businessmen from the United States.). Also, do not forget about the film industry, in which the United States broke into first place. I think if you put it all together, the United States delivers more goods to the Russian Federation than it receives from the Russian Federation.

      As for the nuclear submarines. I said that I admit that the Russian Federation has a very good submarine fleet. But the Russian Federation does not have any AUGs, UDK. The nuclear submarines are the only ones that can oppose the Russian AUGs, although the AUGs recognize a more multifunctional weapon.

        Our intercontinental missiles with multiple warheads on nuclear submarines are an indisputable argument for everyone on their own. Shooting from the territory of the pole was proof of this in the 80s and in the mid 90s. It is clear that now further development allows us to do much more than then. Question. Not an argument? With all the diversity of the US submarine fleet ?? Are super-fast missiles not a real threat to your aircraft carriers? And our ICBMs on mobile complexes is not an argument? Only this will be enough in the case of short-sighted actions by the US government. Sorry for the pathetic, but it's a reality. The USA has imperceptibly lost its hegemony and it’s time to put up with it already ..
