Putin was shouting with his useless nuclear warheads threat, he know even ask what other people have but kept it secret and quiet.

I don't think Putin would want to topple a government in this 21st century.. However, I still can't tell what was his main aim.

Problem with most Nigerians is that they lack Analytical Skills or maybe they are just too lazy to seek information and would just make ignorant unfounded statements that lack any form of credit!

In Ukraine, the War is still ongoing and Ukrainian Officials just confirmed that "Russia is taking Village and Village, though their advance is slow but Certain". I have quoted it Verbatim.
Does that sound like Russia is tired/defeated?

Yesterday, Russia paraded about 1700 Ukrainian Special Forces, (Battalion 34th and 36th) and the "crack" Azov Battalions that it Captured and they SURRENDERED. It was on many TV Stations, (including our own ARISE NEWS) though CNN refuse to carry it so that it can continue to fool Americans that Ukraine is "fighting and advancing" against Russia.
Does that sound like a defeated or tired Army?

About HALF of all GAZPROM Customers (European Countries that put Sanctions on Russian Energy) have OPENED RUBLE Bank Accounts as of today! Italy just said it would take far longer than it thought, to win itself off Russian Energy (meaning, paying in Ruble is Game! ).
Does that look like a Russia that is crippled and tired?

The Russian Currency has gained FIVE TIMES its Pre-War Value, as of TODAY and still increasing, while Europe and America are steeped in spiraling Inflation, due to High Energy and Food Costs! Even Baby Food is in Shortage in America, as of Today.
Does that sound like a Russia whose Economy is destroyed?

MrBiggs (of America) Business Franchise in Russia has just been BOUGHT OVER by a Russian, other Fast Foods like KFC to follow.
Does that look like Russia facing food Shortages or Economy suffering?

On Sweden and Finland:
Truth is, Russia is in a War with over "30 Countries" and it is still STANDING. It deserves respect joor.
As long as all these Countries, are supplying Weapons to Ukraine, training Ukrainian Soldiers to use them, Discretely Supplying "Contract Soldiers and Mercenaries" to Ukraine, to fight Russia, Supplying Military Intelligence to Ukraine (Troop and Weapons Movement, target Coordinates for Missiles, etc), ALL those over THIRTY COUNTRIES are in a "Pseudo War" with Russia.
It does not matter what anyone thinks or says, the FACTS is what l have stated above., Happy about it or not, is immaterial.
"Weapons and Intelligence" is what wins War of the 21st Century, not the number of Troops you station somewhere, that can be wiped out with a Missile.

You're a fool. Putin is only trying to re-strategize. How many war does he want to fight at once?

Rahkman:
oga his main aim was to topple the ukraine government and replace it with a puppet, that has been the aim from the onset

Ceenachi:
It's not about Russia tolerating Finland and Sweden. The truth is, there's nothing Russia can do about it
They've not been able to take care of Ukrain, it will only be foolhardy of them to attempt to take on Sweden and Finland. Any NATO member country will definitely have military hardwares stationed in their country, so this is just a cheap excuse to avoid a military conflict and still not appear weak. If attacking Ukraine was a business venture, Russia ventured into, it would be a bad investment. In other to stop Ukraine from joining NATO, they lost Finland and Sweden to NATO

InoGetJoy:

Sometimes I wonder why you guys keep cheering NATO as if you have anything to gain from them. Do you guys even realize that the Boko Haram issue we're currently having in Nigeria is as a result of NATO's actions in Libya?

Go and read you will not. Finland and Sweden in NATO pose no threat unless strategic missiles are deployed there. Ukraine poses a major threat due to its geographical location and Russian previous experiences with invasions. You Western BOTS will never read only get your information from CNN

You are right, Putin wants to remove Zelensky and replace him with a more sensible (in my own opinion) President.
One Russian "Puppet" President was replaced by another American "Puppet" President and Putin is making an attempt to replace the American "Puppet" President again.

I hope we have not forgotten so soon, that President Yanukovych of Ukraine, was removed in 2014,by these same Neo-Nazi Azorv Battalion (Being one of its "objective" in this War, Russia has now captured them and locked them up in a detention Camp, pending prosecution!), with the help of American CIA, just because he said Ukraine will not be an Enemy to Russia.

Unfortunately, Putin's Russia did not envisage that Europe, NATO and America will use Ukraine as a front, to fight him.
Left to Russia Vs. Ukraine alone, "Game Over", a long time ago.

I also blame Russia for their "indecisiveness", allowing historical emotions to color their decision-making, in a War.
"I half-killed Enemy is very dangerous", do not fight if you can avoid it but if you chose to fight, it should be decisive, total and swift.

No one expects Russia to start another War with Sweden, they have No Existing Dispute at the Moment.
America and Europe (NATO) are just trying to "drag" everyone around Russia into their "Orbit of Control", so it can give them advantage over Russia.
Not one of these Countries ON IT OWN, can face Russia, that is why they need to gang-Up.

Russia has done what it needs to do and what it always do: Lay Down the WARNING! Whether Sweden and Finland decide to heed it or not, is their own problem.
Any sane Country knows that it is disadvantageous, especially if you are facing threats from multiple Nations, including America, to start another War when the "Threat is not as imminent" ....... unlike the case with Ukraine.

Even America "took steps" to reduce its number of Enemies, when this War started!
For example:
- America which has put Turkey under sanctions (Sweden and Finland also did at the same time) since early last year, decided that it is not in its interest, to make Turkey an Enemy at this point, otherwise it will side with Russia! America quickly reversed all its sanctions on Turkey! It even decided to SELL the F-35 Fighter Jets it said it would not sell to Turkey before (they built it together, Turkey invested over $5Billion, Man-Power and Software into it but America just "kicked them out" because they bought Russian S-4000 Missiles!)
Now, America is the one begging Turkey. You see why it is not just only Russia that knows it limits?

- Venezuela, with the largest Oil Reserve in the World, was reduced to a poor Country, due to American Sanctions on its Oil.
It cannot Sell its oil to anyone, America also sieved its Foreign Reserve!
But due to this Russia/Ukraine War, leading to shortage of Energy World Wide, America went abegging to Venezuela and is urging it to ramp up and start exporting Oil to "American Allies" in Europe!
Na so, "Strong-Man" take calm down to small Venezuela. Why should Russia be different?

The list is endless. Even to test its Hypersonic Missile whose Tests was already scheduled before the War started and it was to take place TWO WEEKS after the War started, America POSTPONED the Test (It just did it last Monday!) because, according to it, it does not want to spook Russia and make it think it was launching a Missile at it, so that Russia will not go and RETALLIATE for something that was not intended.
That is America using its brain and "calming down" before it regrets its action.

So, for all those gloating here about Russia not invading Sweden or Finland because they applied to join NATO, sounds "somehow" to me.
I will think that we should be more objective than this, if we want to venture into discussing International Issues that are critical to everybody/
It this was in the "Romance Section" and we are catching cruise, l wont mind at all but we are talking about "WAR, Nuclear Powered Countries, Hundreds of thousands of Lives and Destinies at Stake, etc.

helicoptarr:
Apparently, Putin must've regretted hitting Ukraine. It's a huge miscalculation whose ripple effects they can't manage easily.

bakar007:


Both Finland and Sweden saying they don't want NATO hardware nor warheads nor bases in their state which is a win win situation so why should Russia oppose ? Not that clown wanting UKRAINE to join NATO to then fight Russia. And again Turkey may not even let them join over sponsoring the PKK Kurds terror group.

kerry57:
Putin does not have a choice, he has rediculed himself and country. He can't afford to fight on three fronts. The west has successfully weakened him and his country. It will take Russia time to spring up again like of old. In today's world, u don't just wake up and go to war. The amount of allies that u have matters alot to ur success.

Rebelutionary:

So you believe in your heart of heart that a base wont be setup in these countries in the long run? U folks are just funny! Was there a base in Ukraine before Russia invaded it?

You join NATO, your country will be a base! Its not a matter of IF but WHEN, if not why the paranoia from Russia with Ukraine wanting to join NATO.

If you think Ukraine wont join NATO then u dont know zilch about what the west will do to Russia...

Russia is a test case to show emerging powers like China what the west can do to them if they decide to bite more than they can chew!

Nbotee:
Hahahahahahahahaha... Where are the Nairaland ediots ranting about how Russia will bomb them to oblivion

fabianiyobosa:
Don't trust Russia with anything they say. Their spies are out there looking for a way to infiltrate Sweden and Finland.

SIRTee15:


The way and manner the west handled Russia really amazed me. Putin was neutered n Russia demystified. Now all we hear is nukes.
Now he has a long drawn war on his hand, another Afghanistan 2.0 in the making.
I use to think the west hegemony is at it's twilight but I'm beginning to have a rethink.

I think china is watching keenly. Good thing is they are very smart n won't take western bait easily not even with Taiwan.
China is the master of the long/patience game, they've perfected the art of waiting unlike their western counterparts.
They won't allow themselves to be drawn into unnecessary battle. They rather suffer temporary humiliation than get into a war they can't win.

sweetjohn:
If USA set table for you, you must succumb. I have said it time without number, no country in this world not even in the next 100years can challenge and defeat the USA bc they have everything going on for them: intelligent, huge visible economy and not paper economy, slow to react but catastrophic in action, weapons, high technology, innovative etc.

The only country that has the capability to challenge USA in war in this world is Germany not noisy China or Russia. Germany is the only country that has displayed great strength in war in the world, fought and defeated almighty Europe and then entered east to give give the USSR the highest brutality any country can ever dream of. The only country that has been Germany nightmares is USA. In ww1 it was the USA that stopped them, in ww2 same USA helped ussr to stop Germany.

War and strength is not by displaying useless nukes everyday. war is fought in the battlefield and strength is displayed in war. You hardly hear Germany and USA make too much noise of wars and nukes. You only know about them in the battlefield. Noise is for weak countries

SamuelAnyawu:


He wanted toppling. Reason he said the military should surrender as his soldiers drove to Kyiv.

Putin felt the Ukrainians will not support their president as he felt he wasn’t a man of steel and just a comedian.

Putin found out immediately his column got to Kyiv that the Ukrainians were massively behind their president and it was too late to withdraw.

1) The president remained in Kyiv and called for more weapons.

2) Ukrainians celebrities like the Klitschko brothers instead of running away started adorning military outfits and moved to the frontlines.

3) His soldiers instead of focusing on the war were busy looting Household items in Ukrainian.

Putin should just accept defeat and withdraw cos the more NATO weaponry keeps flooding Ukrainian the onslaught still continues.
