Russia has over 3.5x more rare earth minerals, about 45x more oil, and 56x more gas reserves than Australia. So yeah, about the same. [facepalm]

Russia is not a world military superpower like the US or the USSR was. Russia is a regional military superpower, as Ukraine and NATO are proving since last year.

Please point out exactly what I got wrong. I do not accept a blanket, "that is Russian propaganda" in serious discussion. If you can't do that, we're done.
