Russia's geographical position is commonly described as "Eurasia". Its Asian part alone has larger area as compared to an entire country.

The world's ten biggest countries by size are ranked based on information from the CIA World Factbook.

The numbers shown are based on the total land area of each country, including both land and water areas within the international boundaries.

Russia is the largest country in the world by a wide margin, covering 17,098,242 square kilometers. Russia stretches across Eurasia, spanning nine time zones and covering about an eighth of the inhabited land area of the Earth.

The next largest country is also located in the far north. Canada covers the northern part of the Western Hemisphere, with a total area of 9,984,670 square kilometers. The United States and China are next on the list, so close in size that their positions are sometimes reversed, depending on the inclusion of particular territories and water areas.

Just behind China and the USA is the largest country in South America, Brazil, with an area of 8,514,877 square miles, followed by Australia with an area of 7,692,024 square kilometers. Rounding out the top ten are the much smaller countries of India, Argentina, Kazakhstan and Algeria.

Annie holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s largest natural boobs

The 57-year-old fetish model from Atlanta, Georgia has held the Guinness World Record for her eye-poppingly voluptuous cleavage since 1999.
Unbelievably her enormous boobs, which weigh a staggering 65lbs each and are over four and a half foot in length, are still growing.
Annie began developing breasts at the age of five, and by nine they were a size 36D.

Her boobs have helped net her over one million pounds

“When I was a teenager I struggled with the fact my breasts just kept growing and growing,” she said.
“Finally I was diagnosed with of gigantomastia, a condition that involves slow, progressive growth of breast tissue which is why my breasts continue to grow even today.”
Annie was dubbed “whale boob girl” by her peers and feared boys only wanted to date her because of her large chest.

However, in 1991 she met the “love of my life” Allen Turner, an air force officer who was 20 years her senior.
“To my shock I discovered Alan loved big women and thought my breasts were magnificent,” she said.
“Despite the age gap we got on really well.  He boosted my confidence continually told me I was beautiful and accepted me and my kids.”

Annie has stopped wearing a bra and only wears stretchy dresses

After dating for five years the pair got married and Allen encouraged Annie to start making the most of her super-size breasts.
“He encouraged me to send in some pictures to a specialist magazine a year after we met and I was inundated with requests,” she said.
“It was a magazine that featured white women and I was featured, breaking, I guess, another record.”

Her breasts are a whopping size 102ZZZ

Annie’s career blossomed from there - she set up a website and charged men to admire her boobs.
Within months she had over a million subscribers and made £40,000 in her first year.
Annie credit’s her success to Allen and says without him she would not have achieved the career she has.

Annie is a fetish model and runs her own website

He sadly died of lung cancer in 2003 but Annie has carried on with her business, which sees her model, lecture and make special appearances.
Doctors have advised Annie, who is a size 22 and 5ft 6in tall, to have a breast reduction but she has refused.
“I don’t want to mess with nature. As my breasts grew the muscles in my back developed and supported them,” she said.

She says her kids are proud of her success

“I can only drive a 4x4 and need a larger airplane seat. I have to be extra careful walking downstairs.”
She cannot sleep on her back because the weight of assets could crush her, has to have sex on her side and has never breast fed her children – Darius and Clara – in case she smothers them.
But she feels these inconveniences do not matter because her boobs have earned her over a million pounds.

Annie is marking 25 years since turning her boobs into a business

“My business has put my kids through college, bought cars and nice homes. I travel the world and I am my own boss,” she said.
Annie says her children are proud but sometime get “angry” when fans ogle her.
She is now marking 25 years of being a ‘boob-preneur’ by launching a global model search for other women with super-sized real natural breasts.

Annie is usually mobbed by fans when she attends events and has to employ a bodyguard.

Russia has a total nuclear arsenal of around 8,500 while the USA has around 7,500. Russia still has around double the amount of tanks that the USA has. The new radar jamming system on their planes makes it so it takes around 4-5 missiles to even hit the plane effectively. Russian S-400 system can knock out pretty much anything any other country throws at them, for example, in Serbia, the Serbs used old Russian equipment but still downed a few F-16s plus a stealth fighter, imagine nowadays against these NEW Russian weapon systems! The Russian Armata tanks and armored vehicles are like playing world of tanks the video games, just point and shoot, no calculations at all, and the recent Russian cruise missile launch on ISIS shows that they can effectively combat an overseas threat from a large distance (The Caspian Sea).M

Japan is a powerful nation. But I must argue that they are not the most powerful. Their Type 90 MBT Is superior to that of Russian design but lacks the additional tech and fire power that the US M1a2 Abrams MBT boasts. Japanese troops are well trained but not as good as the British or Americans. The United States also posses the largest navy not Japan though the Japanese navy is very advanced it is not quite as advanced as the American fleet. The Japanese also don't boast a large land army in comparison with other world powers. The Japanese do not even posses a nuclear weapon. As for economics Japan is very powerful but lacks the Great industry of the states. Japan also lacks many natural resources and are forced to import them from countries like Canada, and the US.

Germany is very powerful from a military perspective. The Leopard 2 Main Battle tank is the equal of the American M1a2 Abrams or the British challenger. German special forces are also very formidable especially GsG9 the counter terror unit. Germany also has a lot of experience in war. But Germany lacks aircraft carriers, or a sufficient fleet to compete with other navel powers. Germany can not mass produce weapons on the scale that the Americans or Russians can as was seen during WW2. Germany also does not have the best soldiers and while their special forces are well trained I have to say that the SAS and the seals are better. The reason I say this is because the SAS taught the GSG9 everything they knew. And the Seals have better tech more funding and more experience having been created even before the SAS.M+2

Why We Killed Dangote Staff
THE kidnappers arrested in connection with the killing of the Human Resources Manager of Dangote Industries Limited, Bello Istifanus Gurama, have adduced reasons for their action. Gurama had gone to pay a ransom of N5.6 million to the kidnappers for the release of five expatriates that they kidnapped. They had demanded for N100 million ransom. The suspects – Abubakar Gide, 24; Abdullahi Salihu, 22; and Babuga Adamu 25 – killed Gerard after collecting the ransom from him. They dumped his body in a river. He was shot in the head. Nine of them were involved in the killing, but only three have been arrested. The kidnappers have told the operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team who arrested them that they killed Gurara because the money he brought fell far below their expectations. They said having worked it out that none of them will get less than N11 million each from the N100 million ransom, only for Gerard to appear with just N5.6 million. Salihu reportedly fired the shot that sent Gurara to his grave. A police source said: “It all started after four expatriates and one Nigerian working for Dangote Group in Ijebu Igbo Ogun State were abducted on November 9, 2016. “When Gurama was alerted about the kidnap of his colleagues and asked to go and negotiate for their release, he had thought it was like other negotiation: fluid, simple and successful. “The negotiation turned out to be his last. “On November 13, 2016, Gurama went to pay ransom for the five workers to be released. “When the kidnappers discovered that the money was not N100 million as they demanded, they held Gurama. “When the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, got the information, he quickly deployed his IRT operatives to the Ogun State. “The team was led by a Chief Superintendent of Police, Abba Kyari.”

The function was held at the traditional healers' headquarters at Ttakajjunge village in Nama sub-county in Mukono district on Sunday. Nakamatte was baptized in church and named Ruth but she denounced it to adopt Namukasa. Buyondo was the first to enter the shrine which was filled by a number of traditional healers and their followers from across the country. Nakamatte, a professional nurse is a daughter of Mukono Central division National Resistance Movement (NRM) chairman Ssalongo Male Bakipakampulawa of Ntaawo village in Mukono Municipality. Nakamatte arrived dressed in a wedding gown which she later changed to wear a backcloth dress. Unlike the past where traditional healers where known to be operating in darkness, this time they did everything in broad day light. They also had recorded music and melodious singers who performed music interludes of the tunes praising the African culture. They were only heard singing four choruses of traditional songs with drums only once as they were starting the service. They made the marriage vows; a service led by Kabona Jjumba whereby the vows were for good and for worse. It is only death to do them apart. In the vow, Buyondo was told never to think of marrying another wife before discussing it with Nakamatte and getting a go ahead from. However, Nakaweesi vowed to stay with only Buyondo as her husband until death does them apart. Kabona Jjumba said that this place was bought recently at shs76m from President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni by the help of the area Member of Parliament and state minister for water, Ronald Kibuule. -
