The only reason shit hole trail-park Russia is mentioned in this context is because they have Nukes. Russia should never be called a Superpower.

Item: While the population of Russia is almost five times that of Texas, Texas outpaces Russia when it comes to GDP. Russia's gross domestic product amounts to about 1.3 trillion, while the Lone Star State's comes to about 1.7 trillion. That means Texas crushes Russia when it comes to per capita GDP.
