@MuantanamoMobile In this case the word "deep" does not mean underground. A better word might be "thick". So a minefield 5km and 600m deep means a rectangle 5000x600m.

Russia of the 1990s had really serious corruption and could barely be described as a superpower. It struggled militarily against Chechnya. Yes Russia is back now but 1990s Russia was a serious mess.

@Ultra-Violet Not really. You have to look at multiple metrics, official GDP is important but so are others like PPP, electrical generation, steel production etc.

@SvetlanaVladimirova8590 Raw numbers aren't the whole story. The German soldier of the early 1940s was vastly more efficient than the soldier of any other major country. In 1940, the Germans defeated the larger French army together with the BEF and the Belgians at the same time. In 1941, the Germans cut through huge Soviet forces. In North Africa, the Germans defeated a larger British force several times despite a difficult supply situation even though the same British force had defeated a vastly larger Italian army. You can argue this changed later in the war but in 1942, man for man, the German army was more powerful than numbers alone suggested.

It was fighting three powerful empires at the same time - Soviet Union, British Empire, the USA. And it was doing all this with a smaller population than any of them and an oil shortage.

@SvetlanaVladimirova8590 Not in 1942.

I don't think they're dangerous for NATO. They'll be really easy to shoot down over contested air space. They're useful as a launch platform for missiles and FAB guided bombs.

The US is dominant but the EU is definitely not a dog. Only in military matters does it follow Washington's lead.

LOL what a pathetic cringe. The Irish have been fighting each other more recently than the British. You have to go back hundreds of years to find real oppression by Britain, to Cromwell's time. Every country can find grievances if you go back hundreds of years. It's 2023. Time to grow up mate.

Macron is not the EU.. He has always played his own game. Look at his recent trip to China. He was given a warm welcome whereas the EU representative was ignored completely.
