Russia is a dump. She is lucky that she has retained nuclear weapons from the USSR. Her army is so weak that it cannot defeat small Ukraine, which is ten times smaller than her.

Russia, the USA, and China are the world's three strongest countries due to their military, economy, and global influence. The USA leads with the most powerful military, advanced technology, and a strong economy. China has the second-largest economy, growing military power, and influence in Asia and Africa. Russia has a strong military, large natural resources, and plays a key role in global energy supply. All three are permanent UN Security Council members, shaping world politics. Their strength comes from population, land size, and global reach, making them the most powerful and influential nations in the world today.
