You are naive .let me educate you . There was this thing called Arab spring....
It started from Tunisia, enter Egypt and when it gets to lybia .
.Gaddafi refused to resign and rather he started killing his people. USA and the world were watching. When it was getting out of hand . The world entervained. Only a sane person will support a leader who is killing his citizens.

Saudi Arabia is also governed by a dictator and didn't allow the Arab spring in his country while the United States government felt less concerned cus Saudi Arabia buys almost all their weapons from the US. Even if Gaddafi was a dictator Killing his own citizens according to western media propanganda is the solution invading the country alongside Nato bombing the hell out of the country and turning it into a failed state? Libya was the richest country in Africa under Gaddafi, libya economy was doing better that most European countries then. if u still believe lies spread by the western media against Gaddafi then I'm sorry u are brainwashed beyond redemption

VicM6:
Iraqis are suicide bombers, period.

You know nothing......keep believing all those USA dishing out you guys.......

That's why I am always happy , when I hear an attack on the USA.....they have done more damage , than any ignorant people like you will ever comprehend

Victerica:
But why was the Soviet Union dissolved in the first place?

America

JomasisTech:


You mean because I'm sharing boundaries between you and your enemy, I don't have right to be friends with your enemy?

Ukraine is a sovereign state, and they have the right to choose who they want to be associated with it.

You can't be in your house and be dictating to me on who I should accommodate and not accommodate.

You have the right to be friends with my enemies. But when I decide to kill my enemies, you won't be spared......That's the message russia is sending out.....

But most of think international politics na bread and beans

Quiny32323:
If you are asked to choose between 2 devils I guess you will go for the lesser devil, that's why the west is better off, their citizens are there to checkmate the madness of their leaders unlike Russia where Putin woke up and made the stupid choice of invading a country in this 21st century that everyone is thinking of building a better economy. Crimea that was annexed by Russia some years back is redundant now, the hospitality industry is dead already. The Donetsk region was one of the most industrialized zone in Ukraine but immediately russia interfered, it turned to a war zone. I support his idea of stopping ukraine from joining nato which he already gotten the world's attention but invading ukraine at the detriment of your country's economy and progress is so daft and uncalled for considering the impact on russia economy and overall growth. If this persist, russia will implode and he will go down.

nawao which world attention are u talking abt .the last i heard about USA n EU leaders about Russia complain was that it wasnt Russia business if Ukraine want to join NATO or not .
Me i always read from both side of the divide
To be able to judge objectively.

I honestly don't know what America and NATO have in mind with their expansion eastward. Since NATO was formed, it has not been attacked by any country. It's not like they need more soldiers or money or whatever... So, what is the reason for their advancement towards Russia, knowing fully well that the US and Russia do not have a smooth relationship and this dates back to the soviet days. What exactly is the need for the expansion?

good question.

Just shut it already Owei!!! shut it!!! It's sad how you are making excuses for the bloodletting being orchestrated by the Russian government. It's even more painful seeing it's coming from a fellow Ijaw man.
Unfortunately, its the same way you lots blame the victim and every other person besides the aggressor in a rape case.
Senseless posts like this are the same reason the Ijaw man is still occupying the backwaters of Nigerian politics.
Honestly how can you be playing to the gallery with such a sensitive subject

For those confused about the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, and by extension NATO.
— Russia represents a polygamous husband with many wives like Ukraine, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belorussia, and the other Ex-Soviet Republics.
— In 1991, Ukraine being the most beautiful wife, demanded a divorce from her draconian husband.
— Russia grudgingly allowed her, but due to his toxicity and ego, he would rather see her remain single, subservient, and dependent.
— As a dynamic lady, Ukraine rapidly developed herself into one of the most beautiful women after the divorce.
— To the chagrin of Russia, Ukraine, his ex-wife, becomes a center of attraction wanted by other men, including his foe, NATO.
—Ukraine’s pulchritude and natural endowment earn her recognition from NATO—a counterpart to Russia.
—The relationship between NATO and Ukraine started growing at an alarming pace, unsettling the nerves of the ex-husband, Russia.
— As expected of a toxic narcissist, Russia went berserk. He insisted that a relationship between Ukraine and NATO will breed conspiratorial connivance, which poses a more significant threat to the masculinity and ego of Russia.
— NATO, a polygamist like Russia, is a liberal. His wives include the U.K., U.S., Greece, Germany, Spain, and many more.
— To NATO, the addition of Ukraine to his fleet of wives makes him more powerful and gives him an upper hand ahead of Russia.
— To Russia, NATO, and Ukraine’s marriage poses a grandiose threat to his territory. Therefore, he is committed to ensuring the relationship never happens.
— In his quest to truncate this relationship, Russia wants to reconstitute his past relationship; he is a nationalist, a fascist in the mode of Adolf Hitler.
— As a result of this, he abruptly barged into his unsuspecting ex-wife’s house a few days ago.
— The unwanted guest is currently holding her hostage, surrounding her house with hundreds of _dongaris_.
— NATO, at the moment, is scrambling for how best to rescue his new wife from her abusive ex.
— Russia had warned that anyone who interferes as he gobbles Ukraine would suffer consequences that they did not dream possible; that is, he has nuclear weapons to eviscerate even those who know nothing about his strained relationship with his ex.
—Right now, Ukraine is stuck between an abusive ex-husband and a new lover who has promised her the most exquisite things in the world.
— The world is perturbed as they watch this dispute in awe and fear.
— The rescue mission, if haphazardly planned, may likely boomerang into an all-out war between the two suitors and their friends.
— NATO, a businessman (Capitalist) and the controller of the G7, has threatened to impose severe sanctions against Russia if he fails to withdraw his _Dongaris_ from Ukraine's premises.
— The G7 are the big guys around. They include the U.S., U.K., Canada, EU, Italy, Japan, France, and Germany. An affiliation with these guys is lucrative, capable of catapulting any country to booming affluence.
— The essence of these sanctions is that these big guys will ghost Russia and cut every tie with him in an attempt to humble him “economically.”

*How is Africa connected to this conflict?*
— Africa should be worried about one thing, her economy.
— Economically, Africa and the rest of the world will be significantly affected should a war break out in Europe.
— The world is yet to recover fully from the aftermath of COVID-19.
— Asides from that, I see no reason why any African country/leader should take sides, at least, for now.
— Russia is the only European country that stood with Africa during the colonial period. Russia fought with Angola against the South African apartheid regime and defended Lumumba.
— Africa had better be spectators rather than a participant in this conflict.
— It is not on record that Russia had once colonized or invaded the African continent like Ukraine's new husband once did.
— There is an ongoing liberation in Mali. Russia is currently liberating Mali from French Imperialism.
— The embittered ex and the new husband are inconsolable at the moment.
— Although Olori Ebi (the United Nations) has attempted to mediate, Russia is deviant to his appeasement because the U.S. is the one feeding Olori Ebi the most. Understandably, he may not favor Russia.

This is a brilliant analysis. Thank you sir

InoGetJoy:

Russia never had any intention of being a block power. Check from history, they've always been content with staying on their own unlike US that has been meddling in the affairs of other countries

Their history contains bullying other nations and conquering them...

They created the Russian empire, stifled the Polish voice and were the major part of USSR

Y'all should stop painting Russia as a saint because u don't like America

naija4life247:
If Europe especially former Soviet Union States continues forming alliance with USA and allowing USA to build military bases in Europe and near Russia, then one day, we will all wake up in Hell because Putin will nuke all of us.

If your neighbour keeps making friends with Cultists and Criminals, if you don't invade your neighbour's house and eject everyone, one day you will be attacked and sent packing from your house, that is, if you are not raped, maimed and killed.

Your anology is viewed but on one side alone.
Now, if your neighbour keeps making friends with cultists and criminals as you cited, it then means yourself is up to something! If you have skeleton in your cupboard or some butterflies in your stomach, of course your neighbour needs to be proactive as well to protect himself from your impending disaster.

You see, some of you that can only reason in one direction often get yourselves into trouble when you analyse international politics. Be open minded and you'll see why certain things happen as they are. Russia, from the days of erstwhile USSR, has often proven to be stubborn and with perceived hatchet intentions. That was one of the many reasons the union failed, and with the support of America and the West.
People always hate America because of their global politics. The truth of the matter is, America remains the father of world democracy and promoter of societal freedom and social justice, to ensure rule of law. There is solid reasons behind most, if not all American invasions into foreign lands, ranging from terrorism to oppressive and dictatorial leadership that may have the propensity for anarchy and disturbance of world peace.

Take it or leave it, a world led by America is by far better than that led by Russia or China!!!

ivolt:

Wait, America deployed troops to Poland who is a member of NATO
and Russia decided to invade Ukraine after lying for weeks?

Why not attack America or Poland the alleged offender?

I am yet to see any intelligent or even rational defender of Putin in this war of aggression.

That is how you know when Kremlin sympathizers are working for their money to gather support of this war crime. Remember in 2016 when the Kremlin troll farm was unleashing all sorts of false information to make sure Hilary was seen as the devil.

CelestineNelson:
From the comments above it obvious and safe to say that some nairalanders know next to nothing that is happening on world stage...

I'll like to hear your comment about Ukraine-Russia war. The cause and effect.

HausaIgboYoruba:
Ode, USA invaded and killed more than one millionaire Iraqis and nothing happened!

You are lying jare.
Proof that Americans kill 1 million Iraqis?.
Statistics shows that not less than 300k died in the war. So where u get the body count?
Abi u turn spirit go Iraq begin count body wet die for iraq

Omicron007:




Nairaland has a lot of Pro-Russian Mercenaries and Putin Urchins who doesn't know the impact of war but are ready to ass-lick Putin everyday.

---

Before y'all come for my head, I understand the angle Putin is coming from.
Putin will not sit down and watch Ukraine romance with Russia's fierce enemies.
Ukraine joining NATO means Russia may wake up one day and be attacked by USA and her allies.

On the other hand, Ukraine won't sit and watch Russia bully her on a daily basis.

---

More than 100,000 people have fled Ukraine into neighboring countries like Poland and Romania in the past three days.
A humanitarian disaster is looming large in Ukraine alongside a Refugee crisis.

So what do you suggest would have been done by both warring parties to avert this occurrence?

InoGetJoy:
Ukraine allowed themselves to be used as pawns in a game with the big boys. Nairaland armchair generals are here blaming Russia due to being brainwashed by Western propaganda and sentiments.
It's just like Niger Republic giving support to Boko Haram and then when Nigeria invades Niger Republic people will start making noise.

If I were president, I'll do this exact same thing Putin is doing

If you are the president.... that is why you are going no where in life.

Your propaganda doesn't represent the truth . Your misuse of the word Invation is worrisome. In the case of Libya no body invade the country . The Libya people said they are tired of the dictator the have as a leader .because gaddafi is power drunk, he started fighting his citizens. Only a mad man will start killing his citizen . Gaddafi was given so many opportunities to live he country since the citizen doesn't want him but he refused cos to him and his family leadership is their birth right . He got what he deserved . I can tell you if putin isn't careful he will receive gaddafi treatment. We can only start a war but we might not know the end . Right now people in Russia are protesting against this war . He is arresting the protesters. Don't blame the world if Russian say to putin we are tired of you . One thing is certain the world will take action when puttin starts killing his people .

Kingcalls:


Y are u insulting the writer....u are neither Russian or American u not from Ukraine u definitely are here in Nigeria u hv never visited those places, u hv no business interestin any of them ...so whats ur problem...

My problem is the stinking hypocrisy oozing out from the stench of the writers corrupt thought process.
It's the same hypocrisy that got us to where we are today as a nation. Always giving excuse for evil either in the name of rent seeking or nepotism. So yes it's affecting me. This same writer will approach Nigerian problem with this devious hypocritical attitude.

Yorubas in APC will never condemn the massacre of their kinsmen on the farm by Fulani herdsmen...because of 2023 presidency. But wait until they lose out....na their scream go loud pass for this country. That's when Tinubu and his supporters will FINALLY SEE all the evil of Buhari presidency.

I hate hypocrisy...God knows.

Good analysis but you are forgetting something. The soviet union that helped Africa then is not the Russia of today. Have you asked your self why Russia is in Africa or in Syria. These are training ground to keep their military battle ready. When the help is over, they will turn around and milk Mali dry. A similar thing is going on with China and Africa. They are using investment to buy Africa. In 20 years, Africa will be colonized again.

HausaIgboYoruba:
u lack intelligence and that's why you can't comprehend anything! Why did USA invade Iraq and kill more than one million people? Double standard or what?

Did the US invade Iraq because they wanted it as a part of their territory like what russia is doing in Ukraine?

franchasng:
Most of you supporting Putin are senseless cretins that lack understanding of what is really happening.


Putin did not invade Ukraine because Ukraine a former USSR wants to join NATO, its a useless excuse.


Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia are all former USSR and share closer borders with Russia and they are all members of NATO since 2004, why haven't Russia invaded them since Russia don't want former USSR nations to join NATO?


If Russia is that strong and fearless like Putin is making you urchins believe, let him invade Latvia or Estonia or Lithuania and punish them for joining NATO, of course he knows that if he dares that, US and NATO will delete Russia from the face of earth and that's why they paunced on the most vulnerable prey, Ukraine.



Putin's excuse of invading Ukraine is useless and lack no merit.


If he wants to assist the new breakaway regions of Luhansk and Donetsk then let him go to those regions and station his army and wait for Ukraine to near those regions.



Putin is a madman and all those supporting him are senseless cretins, mostly senseless Muslim terrorists and their senseless sympathizers.

I am yet to see any intelligent or even rational defender of Putin in this war of aggression.

Even me nor understand, like it doesn't make sense. They have not given a valid reason for invading Ukraine.

If Poland, a former USSR state, and share border with Russia can be a member of NATO, I don't see why Ukraine can't be a member.

Poland has been a member of NATO for ages now, NATO has not one day attack Russia, I don't see why thru would start attack Russia from Ukraine if they didn't attack from Poland.

The reason for invading Ukraine cannot be because they want to join NATO. Even Finland is joining NATO too, they did not invade Finland, so why Ukraine.

Enough of all this stupid analysis. No where did the fool condemn Russian invasion of a sovereign country.

I'm sure if America invade Mexico for whatever reason, this fool writer will be screaming to the top of his lungs shouting imperialist monster. Now it's Russia doing gangsterism on global stage, he's seeking meaningless justification and rationalisation. Some people no just get sense.

When America invaded Iraq, the whole world condemned it.
Even American forces were criticised for getting involved in Syrian civil war without any formal invitation. That was one of the drawback of Obama's administration.
What is good for the gander is good for the goose? Enough of all this hypocrisy.
On this matter, I stand with the Ukrainians. Russia is evil.
If Putin wants Ukraine to turn eastward, he should offer them a better deal. Simple.

Sister calm down for me ooo any enemy of the west is Africa friend. They can’t do worse than the people you see as saviours
