@tolis7411 No on the contrary, I jsut know much more of economy than the average delusional people in the internet. Russia has a very low total production. How much land you have is nearly irrelevant if you cannot make something of it. Canada is almost as big as Russia but has an even lower population so it is even further away from beign a superpower. China and USA are the ONLY superpowers because they can leverage their resources. CHina and USA if they had to face the current situation that Russia has they could tripple or more their production. A superpower must be able to heavily influence geopolitics in ALL CONTINENTS, both economically and military. That is the definition of a superpower. Russia is a LOCAL power. It has near zero presence in Oceania and Americas right now and It cannot do much economic leverage. Even Brazil is more powerful economically than Russia as of today.

@TrevorCrook-c1s From where in hell you get those absurd fake figures? To say that America produces nothing compared to Russia is basically flat earth speech . Russia PEAK steel production, just before war started 6.8 Million tons per year. USA Current steel production (and not in a war economy ) 88 Million tons. America outproduces Russia in almost 9:1 ratio. On grains Russia record production is 153.8 million tonnes per year while USA is 360 million tons per year this year. When you go into more complex production the USA advantage is even larger.

No it is not. It lacks economic power, population and productivity. RUssia GDP is simply too low, and GDP measures your capacity to leverage your resources. Also their population is too small to use their resources effectively. Conquering ukraine is one of the things they need since they expect to agregate a large batch of population.

@kartikeyatiwari2502 One could have said one of the most experienced armies in modern warfare , and that would be true as they had to face this Drone revolution directly and probably learned a lot by it, but people that consider them more powerful than US army really must be gamers because they fail to realize the most important thing in an army is A) logistics b) Logistics c)An absurd supply of money to fund it) .

@sergeiegorkin7873 Where in hell you take those data? Russia installed capacity is estimated t 67 Million tons, but they have not been able to use their installed capacity for almost 20 years (because economy reasons) Yes probably now during the war they managed to forcefully increase beyond the pure drmand of pre war status. But USA coudl increase as well if it were in a war like Russia (that is why I compered peace time values of both.)

@TrevorCrook-c1s I am not denying china is even larger base economy than US. I am just denying the guy that said Russia produces more than America. On gas and Oil USA when needed can also increase vastly its production, but their govenrment increases and reduces internal taxes on production to not expend their reserves without need (but in a war they would go to zero) I am basing on a few products? The more products you put the worse Russia will look compared to USA. China is a match for USA and that is why China IS a superpower, but Russia can only compete in a very few segments.

@nuurulbasarmohdbaki6046 Military forum? Check top of your screen LOGO, it is called youtube.. .not a military forum. Second if you think economics are not critical for war, then you are simply a fool.

@kartikeyatiwari2502 Soviet union won with a massive economic help of USA. And germany was fighting USA, UK and SU. Churchil was sure they woudl win the wa when USA got itno it not because of US armed forces but because of US economics. There is a reason for them term sinews of war to exit.
