syria is a sovereign nation. afghanistan was too before nato put their boots in

feedthenation:


---What's Putin's rationale for this invasion---Ukraine is an independent sovereign nation, that is enjoying dividend of democracy by having elections---Putin is not happy with them because of Ukraine's pro-West policies---these people voted overwhelming in 1991 for their independence---

---This is an incursion which will bite everyone very hard financially---there's is no winner in any war---

---Looking forward to how Nigeria will appropriate the enormous gain from the crude oil price which is over $100 p/b---

Putin isn't the only country in Europe with nuclear submarine. Europe can find alternative means of energy. You sound like it is Russia's or nothing. Expensive isn't same as impossible.

Unleash India on Pakistan. It is about allies. The west has more than Russia. Putin cannot win if the West get involved unless he makes the same mistake Hitler did. However, we don't know Ukriane and Ukrainians worth in Western Europe.

Europe is preservative, there is no signal they are going to send troops in to help Ukraine.
The fact that you even think they will offer themselves as cannon fodder, it ain't gonna happen.

Deescalation of the situation is in everyone's best interest: Russia, Ukraine and the rest of Europe.

Some countries will just have to learn to live in a world where issues do no start and end with them.

Where other countries have their own way of doing things.

Where other countries can form alliances among themselves for their own benefit.

The world can't be unipolar.

Neutralactivist:
Russia Vs the West. Power jamb power. Let's see how it ends. US, Britain and France should be blamed for Putin's actions. When they were invading other countries under flimsy excuses without the United Nations approval, they didn't think that any other country will try it. They set the example in Irak and Lybia. The super powers are the ones that weakened the UN, making it only relevant when dealing with weaker and developing countries. What a democratic and just World! Hopefully at the end of this whole thing, new measures will be put in place to checkmate unilateralism and bullying in world politics.

Israel has broken more codes and resolution than UN has had Sect Gens, no country dares throw a bad look their way, the big bully will strangulate you.

grandlexuz:


The point is after shutting Russia off SWIFT which is a banking payment system, how does she access payments for the over 43% of Gaz it supplies to Europe and the 26 % of oil to same block. Russia will proceed to shut it's supplies bringing a spike in prices for oil, gas , wheat and other important metals. A spike so high, so enough to bring the global economy to a halt. Countries like Germany know that better.

The world is seriously sick bro

Which is exactly what I said and has been saying.

No one said the world is unipolar. I wrote that the West have more allies than Russia.

In history powerful rulers had failed. We are all humans. Prolonged economic sanctions by west will cripple Russian economy in the long run.
Read how economic sanctions work. Also, Russia is useless to the world.

Smh, this one is being emotional.

How useful is Russia to the world? Ask Europeans that question.

Saw a tweet by the former Russian president medevdev, saying Russia is ready to get banned from SWIFT if Europe is ready to go through the next several months with energy crisis. You remember the recent energy crisis in UK right, that would be joke compared to this one.

Why do you think France and Germany (which basically are the EU right now) have been dragging their foot on the whole issue?

This issue is a deadlock, Putin made sure of that.

The only real fools here are Ukrainians (or their leadership), there is no fighting through Russia for them, it's either they accept reality and come to terms with Russia regarding NATO (become a Finland of sort) or Russia pound them and impose their will.

But eventually, if the latter happens to be the case, their deaths would be on their comedian president.

Russia has shown great restraint so far, no attacking civilians, giving passage to troops who surrendered. In fact, even most cities are intact, only military or high value targets were struck, which is commendable.

The bulk of their force is still at the border, telling everyone that cares to observe that they don't have the intention of bringing harm, but Ukrainian authorities arming civilians and sending out to fight a trained army is a very bad move.

It should be on record who wanted blood to flow.

If you think Putin is going to loose in this affair you have to think again. Putin is no fool and has taken into consideration all possibilities. Why do you think even American is staying away? Putin will rather see an end to this world that loose like Hitler, even America know this.

I will never justify the death of Ukrainians, but people should leave CCN propaganda alone and see the facts, which clearly shows that American and the West, is the aggressor here.

The number of persons CIA has made to disappeared in this world, is more than the people killed in WW2. CIA plans wars, coups, insurrections, assassinations, etc. But you don't get to read that in the news. America is the biggest Terrorist the world currently has, with Brittain as her lapdog.

Let me bring it down further, Russians as a people Originated from Ukraine. That is to say that the history of every Russian is traced back to Ukraine, which is the Mother land. Putin has always been sentimental about bringing them back as one, so for him, this is not even just a war, its personal.

I beg make una no dey praise Putin.

Which is exactly the crux of the matter, your neighbour is being armed by your enemy, even america couldn't accept that.

The reason they invaded Cuba and mexico. Why are they attempting the same thing?

There is an agreement to this end (after the fall of the former USSR, that the NATO will not move towards former USSR countries), go and look at the former USSR countries and state how many are in NATO and how many are not.

Story-induced headache. Russia has no justification to invade Ukraine and he is even calling Ukraine army to plot coup. That is irresponsibility. Most sit-tight war -loving leaders ended their regimes badly. Putin is not an exception.

DropsMic:
....These guys need to understand that Putin is not a black man.. No be emotions dey control am. Before he sent his troops into Ukraine the baba don already weigh the pros and the cons.. There's nothing that the West can do to stop him.

Even the west gan would do same to their neighbors if they tried to join forces with Russia, China or North Korea

The way you guys keep putting this man on a pedestal is strange to me.
He is still a man an afterall, prone to mistakes and not all risk analysis are fully taken into account especially those to do with innate human nature. He is no demigod
Even Hitler overestimated his capacities

America bad this and that. I still prefer Ak49 in the hand of soldiers to having it in the hands armed robbers

TruthSocial:
It’s just so funny that the Uk want to kick Russia out of swift, something Europeans don’t want, the scale of what that would do to the European financial markets and economy will be bad and bad for Russia too no doubt, but we should know if we haven’t that Russia has one of the best money laundering networking in the world, Latvia-Estonia-the tax havens and so on. Kicking Russia out is Russia getting close to china and reducing the dollar power as the reserve currency, nothing scares America more than that. What does kicking Russia out of swift mean for crypto, Russia can then embrace it and in turn maneuver the sanctions. Kazakhstan is like the number two btc mining country in the world, a very close ally of russia, russia is responsible for the security of that state, they can use the crypto power and infrastructure over there to evade the swift system too. Besides it is further escalation which will make Russia retaliate as well.

Peace needs to rain, what so hard in Ukraine saying we will not join NATO, and why is American pushing Ukraine to join Nato against the wish of other other European countries. America will push Ukraine to a point of no return if they don’t back peddle before it’s too late

Too much wisdom is worrying you.
I am legit jealous

Flier:
Russia will shut down if they should get deleted from shift,this is why they call it nuclear option
No country can survive without swift,though Europe use IBAN but they still use swift for business

If they shut down SWIFT how will those Parasitic European Nations Pay for the gas PUTIN is supplying them??

Putin loves them that is why he did not totally shut that Flow of Gas which shockingly USA is getting from Germany and as well reselling!!!

Like I ask on another thread recently: must Britain/America or Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-America have everything there own way?

To Hell With One World Government and their Covert Organizations starting from W. H. O!!!!

Looks like you are out of arguments.

joyandfaith:
Germany and some top economies opposed that. If Russia is banned from SWIFT, Putin will tremble. I think putin is taking advantage of divided NATO.

The China Factor at play, they are trying to weigh if China can benefit or help Russia out if more sanctions are placed and if that's the case they lose out finally.

Nice. Winning the war with no shots fired.

Where do you live in Lagos? Do you know that the same pekus you pay for some chop it free?

Wallace said Britain would continue to lobby its allies to win support for a move on SWIFT.

"We will work all the magic, do everything we can in diplomacy," he said.

Goes to show you these people believe in magic.

This is not just a matter of semantics, for those thinking about giving it a soft interpretation.

what did the innocent russians do? Abeg face mr poortin and his soldiers only.
