Minjim:
Get your facts right.

Ukraine isn't fighting Russia. Ukraine is only defending it's territory and people.

It was Russia that invaded Ukraine.

Myer:


How do we forget so easily that US is not after the interest of any country but theirs?
War is simply business to US. Can you imagine how much US is making from this Russia-Ukraine war?

Yes, Russia has no right to dictate to Ukraine what body to join or not. However their concern is note-worthy if you understand the history between USSR and USA.

I sincerely hope Zelenskyy and Putin come to Peace terms as Zelenskyy comes to realise that their common enemy is USA and not each other.

Onucs:


The same kinda relationship they wanted to established with Cuba b4 Fidel Castro miraculously pulled out his people from under their whim for life, u mean?

Guy, as a country, if you are growing, The US would either wanna control you or be a part of your system. Anything other than that, they just wanna destroy you. That's why they wanna bring down Russia so bad. And if that happens, they will face china with all the strenght they have got. I pray that day never comes.

Russia no know wetin God do for them, giving them a leader like Putin. I wish Nigeria gets a leader like Putin so that, she can finally pull herself out of this frustrating western democracy (sorry, demonstration-of-craze).

God1000:
Lol. did I say God isn't real

As for Ukraine not joining NATO, it will surely happen, they've been pushed to the wall

Masterviolence:


Which wall?
When Russia, their elder brother was telling them that what they were doing is wrong and there are repercussions they didn't listen, they believed in the reassurance from the west in armaments and Intel.

The reason Ukraine still have a voice to speak is because there is no Stalin-like president in Russia.

Putin is just so lenient, they should thank God for that because they would've been bombarded from the surface of the earth if Stalin is the current president of Russia.

maasoap:


Even after you read what Biden said? Zelensky should have known better than to poke tiger in the eye. He shouldn't have provoked Russia, no any superpower nation would allow its neighbours to open doors for its enemies

pansophist:


Putin is not lenient, what Putin (and Xi) are doing is killing Western imperialism slowly. Within a space of one year, look at what has happened to the US empire.

1. Global de-dollarisation has been kick-started. The more the war prolongs, the West will act completely irrationally and break its own rule (eg supplying cluster bombs to Ukraine), deplete its weapon reserves (which already happened), and waste money on a war that further destroys its empire.

2. Chinese needed American hands tied for a long time, so they can focus on destroying Western hegemony in Asia. You already see it with the China-Saudi romance, the peace brokered between Iran and Saudi, the Central Asia Summit that took place in Xian, and all the countries that have started trading in their own currencies, and it will get worse as the war prolongs.

3. The US is officially broke now. Jellen just landed in China to beg the Chinese to buy US bonds. A few weeks ago it was Blinken that traveled to China, and a few weeks before that it was Lloyd Austin begging China to open military communication Channels.

4. China has started flexing its diplomatic muscle, and the world has recognized it as a fair power. They are in the process of establishing peace between Israel and Palestine, just like they did with Saudi and Iran.

5. BRICS have been strengthened, and seen by the global south as a safe bloc to join, away from Western imperialism. Iran just officially became a member of SCO.

So, bros, war is not just winning on the battlefield. Ukraine was just a symptom. The real war this world faces is Western imperialism, and that is what has to be destroyed. The Chinese are working. Give them time. The world has changed for good.

You see that Chinese political slogan of ¨common prosperity¨, it will reach all of us.

What of Nigerian case nko? Do you really think her situation will get better if she is eventually freed from the iron grip of Imperialism?

Masterviolence:

Premature

All this noise will not be heard after that summit in Lithuania.

Ukraine joining NATO is all but a dream, there's a reason over 30 countries don't want to go to war with Russia.

Alone, no country can win a war against Russia conventionally, yet Ukraine decide to fight against them for an outsider.

The pace of this war was decided in the beginning by Putin and Russia, because taking over Ukraine in the beginning would've been a grave mistake for the Russians, a borden too heavy to carry.
Also killing while fighting against your own people is easier said than done.

The phase of this war now is for Ukrainians to go to the Frontlines and die.

I have consistently told him to avoid CNN.

Ebony2King:


Shut up and stop talking trash my fren! When were u born? Who told u Russia can win a conventional war? How many conventional wars has Russia won without use of WMDs??

U think a conventional war is just about ammunition? There’s logistics, man power, sea power of which the US has the highest number of aircraft carrier, there’s also finance which means the economy has to be so good to maintain the war for a very long time

The only way Russia keeps maintaining her dominance is nuclear threats and that’s because they know they can’t win a conventional war. Even China without any war experience will drill them in a conventional warfare?

Gerrard59:


You have done a good job in teaching/informing folks about Western hegemony on Nairaland. Well done. That said, what do you think about the proposal? Why China, why not India Or Japan? What are the implications should China buy US bonds? What happens if China refuses to buy them? Any similarity with the Plaza Accord that decimated Japan's economy?

pansophist:


With the plaza accord, the US was in the driver's seat. With the bonds issue, the Chinese are in the driver's seat. It's not the same thing. Buying US bonds in layman's terms is like your meat seller begging you to buy meat that you don't need.

Plaza Accord was a laser focus economic policy imposed on the Japanese that destroyed their economy, leading to what is known as the lost decade.

China will not buy US bonds this time. In Chinese views, the US cannot be trusted. No matter the agreement China has with these leaders in Beijing, they will revert back to their normal hate when they arrive in the US.

Also, why should China give its enemies that are bent on killing her the finances to do so? I mean if you are going to kill me, then you better work hard for my death. I won't give you the bullet you will shoot me with.

May I bring to your attention that in the 2008 financial crisis, China helped the US out of the crisis. When going to beg China then, just like now, the US offer some concessions and pledge not to poke China and harm its interests.

After the US was bailed out by China, what did the US do? They ganged up with Asia in the TPP agreement to disenfranchise China from the Asian market. That was under Obama.

Then Trump came in and launched a series of trade wars, tech wars, economic wars, and 24/7 media slandering. If you are China, what would you do? keep giving the US bullet to shoot you with?

Like manipulators, the US has no strength of its own to defeat China. It can only defeat China if China plays its own game. China should just ignore the US and let them do their worse.

So if China does not buy US bonds, the implication would be, as usual, constant media bashing, amplifying the China threat to the world, especially East Asian countries, and seeking to create a bloc of military confrontation.

But the key issue here is this. Buying US bonds won't prevent this, it will only postpone it, give the dragon more blood to be stronger, and become more ferocious.

All in all, I can always trust the Chinese to make a good decisions. They are master strategists, and China is led by competent leaders, not colored flag-waving mofos that are so hegemonic, to the point of stupidity.

USA don knack Ukraine handicap
After tempting them with NATO membership and tricking them into war, they are stylishly abandoning Ukraine. Win or lose the war, America's aims have been actualised and Zelensky has proven to be the clown he's well known as.

I don't have time to lecture you on anything, i thank God that the rus didn't suffer millions of losses in WW2 without matching into Berlin.

The last time i checked, Russia has fought many wars and has never used WMD's on any nation.

All this emotionally dysregulated people.
The joke is on you.

Ebony2King:


What wars did Russia fight conventionally and won? Don’t even mention Afghanistan because they left with terrible losses

The joke is more on u because u aren’t aware that wars are kept going by a powerful economy and consistent sea power 😂
