Don't be so sure Maverick. I feel in my heart (Through track record and facts) that the U.S. is the most powerful..but whats to stop them from saying that Russia isn't the most powerful? It is kinda like football.. "Any given Sunday, any country can win a war" Well no..but that was a nice try at a simile (I think.)

Ok, name one country besides the U.S that has 10 super carriers. Or, why dont you name a country that has just 1 carrier, that is even close to the size of a singal U.S carrier.
maverik... a 2 billion carrier can be easely destroyed by sea skimming missiles like the yakhont or the sunburn on a fishing boat, think of all the equipment/men/aircraft that would be lost, carriers are just too expensive and easy to destroy, russias Oscar II has 24 SS_N-19's for example, it can singlehandedly "wreck" havoc on an entire US CVBG

France, UK, Russia, Spain, Brazil, Italy and India..
Have carriers..
Russia, UK, France and India have more than 1..
Btw,
US only has all those carries because:
You are trying to take over the world.
And that is nothing to be proud about..
I would be shamed..
Your worse than nazis!

Just to clear the air, Webdevil you misquoted back on page 11 or 12. Russian said what you quoted, not me.
Look, its very simple. Russia lost the Cold War because the USA spent more money and Russia couldnt keep up. The reason Russia couldnt keep up is because the whole world was against Communism at the time. If the whole world wont sell you food, clothes, cars, oil, ect. theres no way a country can survive in the Global Economy.
If you look at it, the USA is getting into the same problem that Russia has. The world is starting to look at us differently than before. Also, if you remember the USA and Russia fought side by side in both world wars.
The main problem with the posters on both sides of this debate is no one is consistant. On one hand Russian and his peeps want to trash the US than say how good there country in comparison. Than, when the US side defends itself the Russians than get there cocky attitude again. example: "Im putting you on my ignore list." Grow the F up already.
Anyway, both countrys suck when it comes down to it, both countrys could give a # about any of us, and both countrys are screwing the whole world by there obsession with spreading there particular beliefs on everyone else. How bout this USA and Russia, do whats right for the people for once.

You too have learnt to talk out both sides of your a -hole.
(I downloaded your little video in your sig)
Can you sit there and deny that the same exact # goes on in your own country and not counting the last 8-10 years, your country has been the worst at trying to take over the world with there beliefs on how everyones life should be ran?? You cant deny it.

Im Brittish. But hopfully im gonna live in germany when Im older. I dont want to live in a country known for yobs and racism and I dont want to be controlled by another country like in england. USA has invading UK, not its military, its lifestyle. Gun crime, gang related stuff etc. all comes from american influence on UK. Dont get me wrong I do like both England and America I just cant stand the corruption in the governments and all the racsim and #.
Anyway....
I agree, It's a draw. America does own some nice Tech but so does Russia its just they dont have the manufacturing facilities to make their tech count.
