@shogz89, he hasn't detonated anyone yet. Yes,Russia has .But the atom bomb is like a self-nflicting suffering.Hence,the acronym attached to it- MAD : mutual assured destruction. You kill Mr,I kill you too.
Britain ,France have ,and some other counties have nuclear weapons in their arsenals. People are just being careful not to escalate tensions that will warrant the use of such destructive weapon.

Many Global Parastatals have lost their reputation because of partiality, so Russia sees all of them as toothless barking dogs

At this moment Putin better get his head in order..
Whats the fuss all about..you can't win this war..tell your soldiers to go back home..
This invasion is illegal and unwarranted..stop trying too hard ..

Celebrating a toilet paper judgement.
Where was this court when America and NATO invaded Libya? So America invaded Iraq in the name of looking for weapons of mass destruction that were nonexistent with the permission of that so called court?
Why did the so called court ordered Israel to immediately leave the Palestinian land they are occupying more and more everyday?
Putin should carry on with the resetting the world order. Posterity will judge who is right and who is wrong.

hopefulLandlord:


you think I support Putin?
I don't. I just don't like the hypocrisy and propaganda going on here so I'm pushing back. what makes USA above the law?

No one says they’re above the law. But yet we shouldn’t take the goat to the abattoir because we just slaughtered a cow. We can’t keep urging Putin on because America invaded other countries. What is bad is bad

Putin: or else?

pargelenis:

So you expect a country to give 10% of its GDP? Bros, no be your pastor thite be this oh!
The countries that receive the aid benefit the most - provide your evidence that the USA gains 10 fold instead of making blanket unsubstantiated claims.
One of the biggest donors to the World Bank is the United States … FACT.
Russia gives NOTHING …. Continue to sing praises to the despot Putin.

In one line, you accused me of making a blanket claim.

Only for you to make what is truly a blanket statement.

It is this same hypocrisy that makes you lick the asses of the West even when you don't directly benefit from them.

How have you benefited from foreign aids?

Do you even know the form in which they come into the country?

Abi. Same people who are protesting against Fulani invasion and RUGA. Taking over another man's territory by force just ain't right.

Deefirm:
I know tyrant Putin won't obey this order!!!

If the other tyrants before Putin were given such order, we won't have tyrant Putin talk less of him disobeying that so called court order.

hopefulLandlord:


Where was this court when USA illegally invaded Iraq saying they have chemical weapons? hundreds of thousands of deaths later, billions worth of properties destroyed later and no single WMD was found and a once awesome Iraqi economy was brought to it's knees. Where was this court when USA destroyed Afghanistan saying they want to rescue them from the Talibans? years later they ran away from Afghanistan having spent billions to oust the Talibans only to hand over back to the Talibans when leaving

Do you know that Iraq invaded and occupied Kuwait for 7 whole months killing people?

hopefulLandlord:


Yeah, they'd "do the needful" when it's a country that's not being supported by the west is the one doing the invasion. what's this court doing about the ethnic cleansing and land snatching USA supporting Israel have been doing to Palestine for over 50 years now? what is this court doing about Yemen being bombed over and over again by USA supporting Saudi Arabia where over 5 million kids are starving and thousands dead? what's this court doing about what USA supporting Turkey's doing to Syria? Nothing!

..... Don't worry, let Russia leave Ukraine, we will revisit your questions

Putin wan go down down. Western world sabi drag their enemy like dog. It will end Russia and China will seat tight.

Is it the fault of the West that your leaders chopped the aid? This is why Nigeria remains dysfunctional. You blame the West For the corruption of your own democratic governments. You blame Zeleneskyy for daring to protect his own country from Putin’s illegal invasion. What is next? You will blame victims of kidnapping or Boko Haram killers for not giving themselves up in the first place?? Why are Putin puppets so illogical?

When will ICJ revisit the Biafra genocide of 1966.
This Russian invasion exposed the hypocrisy of the west.

abbey621:


Your dogmatic response only pales to your rhetorical delusions. You are trying to justify an invasion by lumping the faults of past occurence to fit the narrative of a mad man. You highlighted the stipulations of Russia's security guarantee and I begged the question, which foolish leader would accept such terms? Rather than you to justify why a leader should accept the terms, you've chosen to attack my character by spewing more garbage. I don't know you or what you might have accomplished but even if you are Einstein incarnate, your response is that of a bloody novice, I suggest you school yourself on proper netiquette and present a more intellectual argument.....PEACE!

Hmmm, one thing I learnt from history is that humans do not learn from history. Few weeks ago, the US foreign ministry responded that if Russia deploy its missile in its area of influence, America's response would be swift and decisive, so it's actually not a past occurrence as you put it, but something that will always replay itself if Russia places its weapon close to US borders. So on that count, you're wrong.

I'm not justifying invasion, I only said that the Russians have exhausted all diplomatic options, they are not the same thing. Also, I didn't say Ukrainian leaders should accept those terms, I only table down Russia's needs for the conflict to end. See as you misinterpreted my post and reached a wrong conclusion, and tou want to be taken seriously? Smh. There is something called the "sphere of influence" and for the Russians, its eastern Europe. The US knows this but want to use Ukraine as a scape goat to corner russia. You expect Russia to do nothing ?

You see your ignorance.

Only about a small portion of the United States foreign aids goes to the governments of the recipients.

BluntTheApostle:

So who chopped your aid money … or what is your complaint? You got aid and are still complaining like a typical ingrate …

For us to understand why the war prolonged and didn't end in the first 74 hours proposed by the western intelligence, we need to look at these few points;

1) Putin declare a "special military operation " and NOT WAR in Ukraine.. there Russian parliament passes a resolution for international special mission and not a war act, therefore the scope of operations and engagement is limited (believe me Russia has not even broke their military Depot).

2) the western countries were expecting Russia to flattened Ukraine with state of the art explosion and maybe tactical small nuclear weapons... But Russia so far has been strategic in their target, targeting military installations and residential buildings used by Ukrainian army as cover up.

3) Ukrainian army are resolute in their resistance, they also share the same military training as Russians as they were former part of Soviet Union military set, so they understand Russia military drills and the west are also feeding them with valuable Intel's.

4) the weapons used by Ukrainian to resist Russia are sourced from all over the world, therefore giving them undue advantage weapon wise.

5) Russia and Ukraine are the same blood brothers, there are some brutal things that Russia would have done, but they can't do it because they share the same blood ancestry with Ukraine... I will call this fight a brotherly fight. Honestly Russia is using less military engagement in Ukraine, and trying to see weather zelenskyy will get sense and agree to their demand, there is nothing stopping Russia from bombarding and flattening Ukraine, but they out of love don't want to do it.

Finally, Russia is using this war to negotiate and not necessarily to destroy Ukraine as the western media portrayed........ No body understand the mind of Putin because he doesn't talk much, Putin is a great listener, that is why he understands the minds of Western leaders because they all talk too much, he understands the importance of timing, the role of war and peace..... This war is not by accident, Putin has planned it for a very long time with plan A, B, C, D etc, he has possibly plan for a nuclear escalation incase NATO want to act foolish.

Me I didn't get any aid from anyone.

So, why should I be grateful to the United States or be indebted to them?

Typical ignorance … Nigeria receives 500 million dollars aid from USA annually and ZERO from Russia.
Some Nairalanders are the most ungrateful Buhari boys ….

PoliteActivist:


But those Russian people sef, why can't they call him to order?
Even the so-called oligarchs, what are they? Cowards?
Even the female journalist who protested on live TV is now under arrest - a female, the only brave person in Russia. Shame!

They all know the future implications of what west and US is trying to achieve. And selling out their country for personal gain is not in their blood like Nigerians. We should rather be more concerned about Nigeria situation.

Before the war, Russia was a poor and unproductive country and currently is a very economically battered, damaged, and isolated economy.

Russia is socially and culturally banned and isolated on the world stage, Russian sportsmen and women can no longer participate in any global competition including FIFA, Olympics, in fact, any international tournament.

Russia as a country is absolutely irrelevant outside of Russia, their economy is irreparably damaged and unfixable for decades to come, payments on international loans are due this week and Russias can not pay except in worthless Rubles which is a non-starter because the loans are due in US dollars per terms of the loan, next is their sovereign loans which also they can not pay.

Ukraine on the other will rebuild with massive funds from the west, but not Russia's economy, even the hundreds of the global brands that left won't return, at least, not any time soon.

The Russian economy is a one-trick economy, an undiversified oil economy with zero manufacturing base, they don't make anything, they don't produce anything worth buying, that's why when you look around you, you don't see anything made in Russia, nothing, everything is from the west from cars to cell phones, tech gadgets, clothing, consumer goods and so on, they don't even make their own passenger planes, they import from Air Buss and Boeing, but weeks from now, they won't be able to operate their jetliners because of western ban on parts supply and sales, meaning zero airworthiness ratings.

Conget, a US company and their 2nd largest internet backbone provider pulled out last week, imagine, Russia the so-called superpower depends on the West for virtually everything, they even import their weapons TECH from the west which is under sanctions now.

It's laughable that Russia the imaginary superpower ran to China for help because of ordinary VISA and Mastercard sanctions, this little ban means Russians can not perform basic monetary payments and transactions. What kind of superpower is so dependent on other people for nearly everything, now Russians traveling all over the world can no longer pay for anything with their Visa and MasterCard.

Well, he's free to level Ukraine, but Ukraine will rebuild and the Russian economy and way of life go remain inside shalanga for many decades to come.

Putin is really dumb, unstrategic and foolish megalomania with a puerile sense of direction and warped realities.

Okay now you're talking! Look at the bolded words, what do you mean they've exhausted all dipolomatic options? Has Ukraine joined NATO? The answer is NO! Did they go to war with russia over Crimea? The answer is also NO! The third demand is just absolutely ridiculous and no sane leader would accept such terms. I would refer you back to my initial response, if this happened to Nigeria and Cameroon brought forth such demands, what do you think would happen?

You said you're not justifying the invasion and while this might be true just put yourself in Ukraine's shoes, I come to your house demand that you swear allegiance to me and that two of your children now belongs to me, is this diplomacy or an act of war? Let's be reasonable here, how long will it take Russia to do the same to other countries that broke away from the Soviet Union?

1. The people of Crimea did a referendum and the majority voted to reunite with their native motherland, Russia. They ceded to Russia, how is this not democratic ? Kosovo for example voted to separate from Serbia, South Sudan from Sudan etc. So no, they can't go to war with Russia for that.

2. By diplomatic options, rounds and rounds of meetings have been made, the notable one being the Minsk agreement that Ukraine refuse to transpose. Their tactics was to not implement it, then join nato, which activates article five of nato protocols that "an attack on one is an attack on all", which would effectively be a battle between Russia vs over thirty nato countries, hence Russia has to launch a preemptive strike to disrupt this plan. Russia waited for eight years, and the Minsk agreement was not honoured by Kiev. Now you tell me, what else should Russia have done? If you're Putin, what will you do?

3. About the recognition of the breakaway states, I believe its a ploy for Putin to force Ukraine to implement the Minsk agreement. As I see it, during the negotiation for ceasefire, Ukraine will accept (actually have accepted), not to join Nato, Luhansk and Doneskt will be integrated back into Ukraine, and they will have their constitution rewritten to accomodate their full autonomy like the Chechens in Russia.

This is not me cheering for the Russians, but when things are put in proper context, the nuances becomes easily understood. Also, this is a war between the US and Russia, the launching ground is just Ukraine. Its the same game play with Georgia, same wine in different bottles. I rest my case.

Have you actually read the Minsk Agreement? I'm not talking about the old agreement(Minsk 1) that was broken by both Ukraine and Russia but the new agreement(Minsk 2). Why do you think it is only Ukraine that has to implement it? The new agreement called for withdrawal of all foreign troops from the disputed areas but up till war broke out, Russia denied being part of the agreement as Putin keeps insisting that Russia is not involved in the dispute. How do you negotiate/dialog with an enemy that won't follow the rules?

Putin behaves like a bully and forget about the U.S for one minute, does Ukraine not have the right to make its own decisions? Are you honestly saying Crimea, Luhansk and Doneskt were not influenced by Russia to destabilize Ukraine? We can continue playing mind games but deep inside you know what's going on, you know
