Democracy doesn't work.
Look at the countries prosperous,they don't practice democracy e.g Russia, China, Singapore, Saudi Arabia etc
Compare the economies of the countries to the ones practicing democracy and see the difference.
Had it been that Nigeria does not practice democracy we for don go far in terms of development.
If you don't follow the west,then you are a vallain,evil, dictator but the leaders no dey listen to who vote them into office,abi no be wetin we dey suffer for Nigeria,where the leaders do what they want and the masses suffer

Singapore practices democracy.

The more prosperous countries are the G7 countries. Check out the majority of countries on the list. Check out the countries African, Asian and now Russian refugees are fleeing to. Check out the embassy of countries being besieged in Nigeria.

"The West declares that perversions including pedophilia, are part of the norm, destroys its values, calls on priests to bless same-sex marriages," he said.

Putin added that the state shouldn't meddle in private life, but added that a family "is the union of a man and a woman."

I do not support the war in Ukraine but I hail Putin for acknowledging this truth.

Ibrahimcoomasie:

In war, the mission is to seize the capital ASAP to bring the war to a quick end to save lives and unnecessary spending. If he had captured Kyiv, he wouldn't be singing songs of lamentation to his fellow Russians in Moscow, while meaningful Russians are fleeing the country to the United States.

You have a brain, use it.

Wars are fluid dear,no specific rules for war.
Watch independent journalist and hear the truth, Russia is prosperous more than ever, better than the USA and Europe at the moment.
If you know anyone that knows anyone in Russia,ask the the living conditions there.
Things are cheaper in Russia than Europe, companies that left Russia are returning because they are losing.
Listen to independent journalist from time to time

Whobedatte:
Mad man Putin is fed up
Overrated piece of shit

Concentrate on what is going on in nigeria and stop peddling western propaganda on here ...Are you a BOT a lot of bots on nairaland trying to manipulate ppls opinion .... Shut up and use your limited thinking on what happens on Saturday

God1000:
He should stop blaming the west, he started the war thinking Ukraine will be gone within days.

Who could have imagined in 2022, when Ukraine's situation looked so hopeless that the United States offered to evacuate Zelensky and he famously refused, that a year later the Ukrainian people would have put up such a strong resistance, and the West would have given so much support for their efforts?

And that instead of Putin having a military parade in Kyiv, it would be Biden walking in the Ukrainian capital's streets.

Everything no be gra gra

One thing about wars, is that you care barely beat the indigenes that lives in a particular area.

Even the so called US would have a hard time cleaning up a country a third world country as Nigeria through a military operation.

The chances of the US wining a war against Nigeria in Nigeria is less than 15%. The same scenerio played out in Vietnam. Vietnam defeated them with just bobby traps and dane guns. Same thing also happened in Afghanistan.


So what are you saying? Also remember, Russia now controls more 20% of Ukraine.

itsRhamzy:
you don't understand. They tried joining NATO but US turned them down without any reason. It was there Russia realized US has made Russia an enemy of NATO to keep NATOs relevance flourishing because without any common enemy, NATO will die a natural death as no one is willing to fight wars or become an enemy of NATO.

So you understand why Russia is fighting this war. NATO and American imperialism seek to use Russia's close neighbors to get to Russia and breaking Russia into parts as an endgame to create the good atmosphere to stealing their oil 🛢️ like they did in Iraq and Syria and Libya.

Russia is too powerful to be defeated or crushed like Iraq otherwise America would've stepped in with boots on ground. The only thing keeping Americans at bay is Russia's military and nukes. US cannot risk fighting an enemy having almost equal brutal strength and mad abilities to strike back delivering devastating blows as well. They can't fight an ememy that could decimate their beautiful cities 😂 hence why they're using Ukraine as a pawn in the fight.

Russia tried to join NATO when it was in the Soviet Union. The other members, not US alone, noticed it was joining in order to force other Soviet Union members to stay within the alliance against their will.
That was why it application was rejected

MT:
There was nothing combative in the speech. It was subdued to say the least; a face saving speech.

The arrogance of last one year has gone. The reality is staring Russia in the face. Lot of russia's resources - both human and materials - lost.

To make matter worse, Putin is yet to deliver victory speech in Kyiv after one year, but all across the atlantic, President Biden made it to Kyiv.

Truly, Ukraine stands. NATO Stands. Democracy wins. Russia lost.,

jaakkkki

Wow,your argument is lame man.

obedience4:



Keep quiet, joor, Until all the young men in Russia dies before your Putin will do gra gra,.. There is nothing Putin or the Russian military is doing that they will do differently.
You are asking a foolish question like a kid "why has did USA or NATO not put soilders in Russia "
Are the USA or NATO at war in Russia, has Russia attacked a NATO member country and the USA never reacts??
if you are looking for NATO troops beg Putin to escalate the war by attacking a NATO member state
Putin has been crying since the west weapons started going into Ukraine and he has done nothing, tanks are coming yet he has done nothing..

German minister said on national tv that they are at war with Russia.
More than 20 countries are behind Ukraine but Ukraine is still losing.
Over 100 billion dollars in weapons and nothing to show for it.

djon78:



Which face saving speech?


Almost over 100 Western allies countries stood behind Ukraine more like a proxy war. Supplying them finances, weapons etc

Have they been able to defeat Russia? Have they chased Russia away from Ukraine with all the support


Russia have been almost on there own in the fight, but they are still strong


There economy is still standing strong


Russia have really tried despite all

And the opponents are still careful because Russia is a nuclear power House. So they are very very cautious

Let me respond to the bolded one by one:

1. The western alliance is not up to 100 not to talk of over. That is a blantant exagerration by you.

2. Your strength as a Nation depends on the Quality of your friends on a global scale. The US invest heavily on its allies, and if attacked, all its allies will rise in unison to defend it. Russia too has alliance with countries like Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.

3. Proxy war is allowed. Russia used it against the US in Afghanisan. It is not a new thing.

4. The West do not want to crush Russia, but turn it into a pariah nation, which it is right now. The Westerner's soldiers and serious military assets are not involved. They are toying with Russia and making Russia to deplete its military resources. Do you know how many high grade military resources that Russia has wasted in Ukraine, to the point they have to be begging North Korea and Iran for help.

5. Despite high price of Crude oil last year, Russia economy still contracted by 2.1%. That is the result of the biting sanction. Russia is also forced to sell its oil on the cheap to India and China while spending heavily in the war. Russia is withering before our very eyes, Putin knows, and that is why he became reactionary by suspending START treaty with the US.

6. It is understandable for them to be careful. Russia is a nuclear armed nation. Russia too is careful by not striking any NATO land. When a missile landed in Poland, Russia quickly started explaining that it was not her that shot the missile; that was also being careful because as mad as Putin is, he would not want a direct conflict with NATO that is backed by the United States.

Ps: NATO is not involved in the conflict. Just individual countries that make up NATO are donating firepower to Ukraine.

This question is unbelievable

Was there an application? Please post a link that says Russia sent in an application or officially applied to join NATO.

We are all here to learn.

NATO was created to curtail Russia.

get your facts right bro. Russia tried joining NATO after a US president (Clinton or Bush I think) visited Moscow in the early 2000s and Putin literally asked Bush about being a member of NATO and didn't get any reply. Go to YouTube bro and watch the press from Putin's mouth himself.

Soviet union was disbanded in 1992, Russia applied in the early 2000s

I know Putin talked to Bill Clinton about it and there was no Objection, but did Russia officially apply?

I will like to read about the application.

he's in Ukraine with his army taking over 20% of the country's Territory. Why hasn't the American supported Ukraine army chase them away? Ukraine haven't even captured an inch since last year October and some of you think Russia will be defeated in Ukraine. You're welcome to try

Just 20% after many months of offensive with all the bluff?

A simple check of the top 20 economies in the world will help you answer your question.
Singapore practice a parliamentary system of government, they have a Prime Minister.
If you can name just ten countries that are not democracy incline that are doing well, I could give you 50

Putin is an example of man who stands up for something, standsup against bullies, stands up for his people and does whatever it takes to achieve it. If you cannot see who the bigger enemy is here, then you are blind and will understand when you are much older and have sense.

raskymonojendor:
Lol

truth be told, were it not for the overwhelming support of the west Putin had already sorroumded Kiev and it would have even taken less than 2 weeks.

100 bitibawo?? Ds guy don count Ilesha join they are not up to 100 biko Russia is getting support from allies too but even the allies are being careful...Russia is asking for help from Iran, North Korea even China is being very Careful...Russia other allies are just like streets supporting a country in War.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
This devilish mad man started the war but tries to push the blame. We all watched with our eyes how your tanks and soldiers marched into Ukraine.

When the US intelligence said Putin was going to start the invasion even with an exact date, even Zekensky did not believe and was ignorantly caught unawares as he never expected that Russia will invade. Despite Russia's element of surprise on Ukraine, Putin still failed and after one year, Ukraine still stands!

gfelo:

Lol. Bro, even if rat wear lab coat dey work for laboratory, e no go work where dem dey mix rat poison.
NATO was created to contain threats to liberal systems. Unfortunately, Russia triggered that inspiration. She's been doing NATO a great favor ever since. She just added Finland and Sweden to the queue. She's been aiding NATO expansion from day one.

TheOgaBoss:
truth be told, were it not for the overwhelming support of the west Putin had already sorroumded Kiev and it would have even taken less than 2 weeks.

I agree on this.

However,

He miscalculated western support for Ukraine.
When he invaded Georgia, the West stood back and watched. When he annexed Crimea, the West stood back and watched. I guess the the west and it's allies have had enough of the bullying.

Despite warning from Putin that there will be serious consequences if any country steps up to support Ukraine, the West and many other countries (including Morroco) have called Putin's bluff over and over again.

You smart..

The American disbanded soviet union. But Russia federation is still the biggest country in the world 🌎 despite having 14 countries breaking out from her.. U.S is still trying to break it down again..

Ukraine must lose this war, else other Baltic nations would join the nation movement and that means Russia is in trouble

Same scenario is pinning out in Asia, America is building another Nato 2.0 in Asia to intimidate China 🇨🇳.. So Russia and China solidified their relationship to make a statement to both the U.S and Nato...

When I see people defending Ukraine, I shake my head. Putin is right in all ramifications. If I were the president of Russia, I would have started the war much longer than Putin did.

“I would like to repeat, they started the war, and we used force in order to stop it,”he said.

Lolz typical APC member 😅😅😅
