But this isn't true. If that's the case, Ukraine had thousands of nukes after the fall of the Soviet Union. Were they a superpower too?

There's more to being a superpower than having nukes. The United States is the world's only superpower currently.

Why are we having TLR convos in Higher Learning? Y'all got me like :francis::patrice:right now.
ukraine was in desperate need for good relations with the west, so no, they were not a superpower like russia, which is why they got rid of them. obviously it takes more than the existence of intercontinental threat, but the point is russia has enough of the intangibles coupled with ICBMs to make them a superpower, and not merely a regional power. there have been several TLR moments in here, especially you cheerleaders, but this isnt it.

This isn't true. You're making this up, breh. :gucci:

Russia is not a superpower. Neither is China.

What's happening to Russia right now should show that they aren't a superpower. Can you imagine America being isolated on the world stage like that?

That's right, you can't, because the rest of the world relies on us, not the other way around. We're the top dog. Everybody else is up under us.

There is no scenario where what's happening to Russia currently, happens to the United States. Even with that fool Donald Trump at our helm, we lost some influence here and there, but other nations still deferred to us and depended on us, and followed our lead.

Why? Because we are the superpower. The world's LAST superpower.

The entire world relies on us. When the US economy tanked in 2008, we dragged the entire globe down with us.

Russia's economy is tanking right now, and it's affecting us, no doubt, but we're not going into a recession because of freakin Russia.

Come on, breh. You know better than this. :gucci:
China not a superpower? Boy stop. :comeon:

The only thing they lack is the ability to project their military worldwide via the navy and that probably won't take them long to change.

thousands of nukes riding on ICBMs or being delivered by nuclear subs in every ocean on earth makes them a superpower




Imma need yall brehs to educate yourselves on what the meaning of "superpower" is cause it's woefully apparent that y'all don't know.

I wonder if we'll see a Kiev Airdrop.
Theyre going to run out of food quickly if they keep this up.

Breh, stop. China can't even take Taiwan.:hhh:

Can you imagine the US forced to lean back on Puerto Rico?

Or Hawaii even?

Yall brehs truly don't understand the meaning of "superpower". :francis:

USA couldn't get Castro out of power in Cuba even after the Soviets fell.

And they absolutely despised Castro through the 60s, 70s, 80s but failed to do shyt in part cause he had Soviet backing. Just like China is wary of Taiwan because they have American backing.

UK had to let China have Hong Kong even though the people of Hong Kong didn't want to leave.
