‘Risk of conflict is real’ – NATO chief

[Titanium100]

A common sense:
For a country as widely sanctioned as Russia, we should estimate its economic strength through PPP, not GDP.

In 2021, Russia's PPP ranked fifth in the world, second only to China, USA, Japan and India.

It is true that Italy has better economy then Russia

USA is using NATO to sow the seeds of a future conflict in European soil.

Lower then Italy? Is that not a bit exaggeration

That’s a fact. Russia is military very strong however very weak in economy. The US sees Russia as a petrol station the chinese see Russia in the same eye although they don’t say it.
What products Russia offers except gas, oil and weapons?
Germany can make thousands of tanks in short period of time if the Germans want to. Not a problem at all.

Exactly.. Some layman of this forum were saying that you need economy yada yada for everything but look at Russia it is basically a major power without wealth and puts interest in where that matters most---
