people forgot that america is a superpower for a reason. we arent a bitch we usually just play passive. and if they think what we are doing in other countries is interfearing with shit with force then they must have failed history class. ww2 is when we became the defacto top country. we have stayed that way ever since in both military and economy. just because some other groups got nukes as well doesn't mean their military power increased in quality. all they did was enter a cold war that never ended. wont end until someone throws a nuke. but then the world ends so :/. but our troops have always been better trained our tactics have always been better. everyone has forgotten that during WW2 once we entered the war we ended the war. passive doesn't mean weak. WW3 hasn't happened yet since china and russia still have half a brain cell left to not attack us. and the fact that 2 countries who could easily become allies do not attack a single country shows they don't want the problems.

It's also interesting how that plays into how the US (and NATO allies) typically talk down our new equipment in order to keep its capabilities unknown from potential enemies, whereas the Soviets (and since the fall of the USSR, Russia) always oversells its equipment by making claims the materiel can't back up in order to make potential enemies scared of it. Effect vs. Intimidation. (Or in the case of the Russian Federation, attempting to sell overpriced and underdeveloped new materiel to other nations in the hopes that those countries would actually front the money to get the actual production capabilities up and running, like as happened for the Armata, Su-57, BMPT Terminator, and a slew of other post-Soviet vehicles that dead-ended before going into full production.)

I joined the navy almost exactly a year later I served with a few guys that were there. 23:13 way I heard it that's pretty much EXACTLY the conversation. "Bet you can't get them to shoot at you." The response was more along the lines of 'bitch please.'

"I'm just here to take pictures". -Soviet Commander Translation: "I'm here to gather reconnaissance on your wartime capabilities and tactics". Wasn't a joke but... I guess it's funny that they were direct about it, lol.

You have to check out his video about the Finnish soldier who tripped out on meth. It is hilarious!

Yea, that dude got all kinds of messed up. Must have been one HELL of a trip.

@@JustinDLink I just realized again how bad the word Pervatin sounds when put with American slang. I know what it was called but when I talk to people in America about that video I call it 'military prescribed methamphetamines' for multiple reasons. Believe me when I say that's me doing it a favor.
