You will not become strong by hoping for the others to be or by waving someone else's flag. China is without a doubt the second strongest after America. Why else would China get so much media spotlight and friendly words and gestures from America? If you are talking about USSR and China at the time, then I'd believe you, but to compare Russia with China now? common now, wake up to the smell of coffee already. If you talk about Russia's stockpile of nukes or aircraft propulsion technology yes I'd agree with you, with everything else, then I'd beg to differ.
Oh yeah now compare ur SF with the spetnaz , ur pilot skill with the russians, heck u guys have every thing in ur military arsenal which is a copy of russian tech and still u r better than ruskies.
Oh yeah u need to deploy nukes against india which u think is militarily nothing against u and still u guys think u can win over ruskies who hold the world's largest nuke arsenal both in terms of quality and quantity, hadnt the allied forces which ur cursing and thta allied forces include USA and indians too which saved ur @$$ against the japs u guys would have been speaking japnese now instead of chinese..so never forget history we remember ours and so we keep up the vigil its time u recheck ur history..So yes Indian boy, do enjoy the time of not being placed under the spotlight, because when you get to the stage where you are strong enough to upset the American economy or military, then you can talk to us or Russia about it.
