What Ukraine achieved after leaving the USSR in 1991. It was: - 52 million people - the birth rate is 850 thousand per year - 3rd place in GDP among the EU countries - inherited industrial giants of the USSR, which made it possible to produce from heavy ships to modern aircraft - there was no debt - developed social sphere, from education to medicine - before the change in the non-block status, they received 18 mlds each. $ per year from all types of cargo transit through the country - we were an energy hub between Russia and Europe - we were part of the "one belt one way" project, due to which we could earn much more on transit and reduce our logistics costs - they had some of the lowest prices for energy that they bought from Russia - Russia and Belarus were the main trading partners and investors in the Ukrainian economy It became: - since 1991, starting with the change of the anthem and ending with the change of the non-aligned status, they began to very actively drive into the head of the population the idea that Russia is evil, Russians are not people and they must be destroyed. We have been preparing for this since we were young and children's cartoons - the population has decreased to 19 million (including those people who no longer live in Ukraine), of which 3.6 million. disabled people, 11 million pensioners - they refused to transit Russian and Belarusian goods and trade between these countries - the debt level is 98% of GDP - budget deficit of 48% of GDP - there is no industry anymore and their only export product is Russophobia - energy has risen in price 6 times - the deterioration of infrastructure before the war was 97% (the Minister of Infrastructure called this figure in 2016) - lost 20% of the territory - the birth rate has decreased from 850k to 188k - The economy has shrunk so much that Moscow alone earns almost twice as much as the whole of Ukraine. Soon Crimea will overtake the whole of Ukraine at such a pace - education has been replaced by propaganda - 48% of men, according to polls, want to leave the country as soon as they open the border Interestingly, there is no hatred of Ukrainians in Russia. We treat them with compassion. It's like a relative who got involved with drugs and is in another reality. Since 2014, several million Ukrainians have already arrived in Russia and they do not experience harassment. I have relatives from Ukraine who have moved to Russia and have already obtained citizenship. Now the Ukrainian government plans to revoke the passport of men living in Europe in order to force them to return to the country and send them to the front. The only country where Ukrainians do not need a foreign passport and the easiest way to obtain citizenship is Russia. It is also interesting that many are still convinced that Ukraine has some kind of secret plan to return territories and many Ukrainians are sure that they will be worse off under Russia, but their Crimea, after joining Russia, doubled the region's revenues in 9 years, despite sanctions and Ukraine's attempts to deprive the region of energy and water. They are also sure that sanctions will kill our economy, but now our GDP is higher than it was before the sanctions. Here we can say thank you to many companies that left because of the sanctions and sold production at very large discounts and freed up the market for our companies. A very strange decision 😅 I hope that we will not have to take the western part of Ukraine, because the economy is no longer there and it will already be a ballast for us. And in 30 years they have managed to make a very Russophobic region out of the western part of Ukraine and let them better deal with the consequences of their actions themselves I sympathize with the adequate Ukrainians who have been held hostage by their government

The Russian Navy visiting the US during the Civil War had a lot more to do with events in Europe. The Poles rebelled against Russian rule in 1863, and it was looking like France, Britain, and Austria might attack Russia and Prussia. Russia sent it's navy to the US so that if a European war broke out, its ships would be poised to attack French and British trade. While the Russian Pacific Squadron offered to defend San Francisco if a Confederate raider attacked, the Russian ships did not participate in the war or take part in the blockade of the South.

Very good note, I wanted to put it also. It's peculiar that, if I'm not mistaken, only Russia has Strikers as a separate type of Military Aviation (as are Bombers, Fighters, Scouts). In the western doctrine CAS is defined rather as a specific military action and is ensured mainly through attack helicopters currently. Closest thing in Nato equipment would be the infamous A10, as pointed out, and though born in the 70s, the army don't want to "pension" it. 😊
