Washington: "There is no Cold War between the US and Russia, since Russia is not a superpower"

226
The American administration explained their position that there is no cold war in the world at the moment. It turns out that Washington does not consider the Cold War confrontation between Russia and the United States, since "Russia is not a superpower." This was announced by the official representative of the White House, Josh Ernest. He is quoted RIA News:

There is no doubt that we have serious differences, especially in Ukraine and Syria. But the cold war was characterized by the confrontation of two superpowers. Now the situation is different. Russia is no longer a superpower.


Washington: "There is no Cold War between the US and Russia, since Russia is not a superpower"


Frankly, Russia, as they say, damn what power it is considered in the United States. If, according to American logic, only a country that is trying to wreak havoc, including supporting terrorist groups of all stripes, can be considered a superpower, then Washington can keep this “superpower” status “exceptional” with it.

The desire of Washington to somehow show that the United States and only the United States are the leading power on the planet, comes through literally in everything. As an example: at the conference on Syria that started today in Vienna, the hall was exhibited immediately two american flags. Is it also an attribute of "superpower"? ..

    In a 2007 interview with American journalist Amy Goodman, General Wesley Clark announced regime changes in Sudan, Lebanon, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Iran.

    At least Russia is just a power. Even Ukraine is NOT a power, but a power. And the USA is not a power at all. This is not even a state. This is a union of 50 states. It doesn't even have its own currency. Has 50 Criminal Codes. Those. screwed up in Illinois - move to Missouri or Michigan and live in peace. Look around so that FIA or SWAT don’t sneak into your trunk and take you to a neighboring state. In the same way, you can kidnap a person in Thailand and the Emirates.
    There is no single army. There is a Chief of staff/ (Committee of Chiefs of Staff). They don't even have a General Staff! There are 3 dozen special services. Most of them don’t even know what they’re doing. Apparently, the same as RossNana.

    In short, this is bullshit like the European Union, only on a separate continent, which is why it is not torn apart by contradictions in the form of “magnets” - centers of gravity such as Russia, the Arab world and China.

    The Americans are right. If you look at the Russian economy and its structure and compare it with the American one, you will see that this is a confrontation between a pug and an elephant. It was the USSR that could confront the USA on equal terms, but Russia is far from the USSR economically, ideologically and militarily

    Judging by the meaning of the above statement, White House representative Josh Earnest imagines himself as the “navel of the Earth,” but this rather characterizes his own powerlessness and his representation.

    To knock down the arrogance of the amers you need to:
    1. Withdraw all money from US government obligations.
    2. Following the example of China, create your own commodity exchange and trade raw materials for rubles
    3. Revive precision engineering on a scale that provides for the civil segments of mechanical engineering
    4. Revive civil aviation, commercial and fishing fleets

    There will soon be a war on US soil. This state will fall into pieces. Later, a war will begin in Europe, which will be torn into small pieces in 1 year. Everything will be quiet and smooth in Russia.

    Indeed, how sad are we, what does this spoiled, lost sense of reality and sometimes simply stupid American establishment think? We set a goal, defined tasks and move forward with a song and without unnecessary advertising. Work, gentlemen, work!

    You read the comments and are amazed. It feels like I’ve landed on an analogue of the Ukrainian site. The intensity of idiocy and mischief is simply off the charts.

    It’s a pity that no one bothered to ask this “partner”: What signs of a “superpower” do you know? I think the answer would be in the spirit of the dogs. Will you answer this question? Yes, next question.....

    )) You probably only know about the good in a foreign country, because there is no bad and cannot be. Lumpen only live poorly here)).

    There, as elsewhere, only the rich live well. The remaining problems with medical education are no less than here. Plus everything is on credit.
    Look at YouTube medicine in Norway, for example, well, or in the United States, find out the cost of kindergarten and how children live in it, thorough repair in Europe.
    And today's po-free impoverished life in Russia will seem like a paradise. )))

    I completely agree!!! Everywhere is a mess and people are stealing!!! But we must strive for the best!
