Lol, Obama just disgraced black men and black skin worldwide, with this statement. Why didn't someone give him the teleprompter? Obama, stop it - your sanctions aren't working.

Saudi Arabia's manipulation of oil prices to destroy the fracking market, coupled with the doofus in-charge of the Russian central bank, and stock market(Wall Street and London) manipulations threw the Tsunami at the Ruble, not your sanctions. Expected cos the Russian economy isn't that diversified. However, I believe they'll start the diversification drive now.

Err, how can Obama in one breath say, "Sanctions have never worked and will never work against little Cuba" and in the next one assert that, "sanctions are biting Russia?" C'mon Obama, rep us better, my nyggah and big brother. We love you!

Putin is still the master of chess - I can't wait to see his next move. Learning from the great Messr Putin!

Forget about the information you get from biased media houses. The Russian economy is in tatters right now.
This is a firsthand information from a couple of close Russian friends. Even my girlfriend is from there.
Right now the Russian Rubble is near worthless.

A lot of my friends that comes to China every three months for importation purposes hardly show up for some months now. Inflation is at all time high. Russia is a glorified third world country.

No thanks to Putin's oversized ego, Russia is on a downward spiral. Today's world has gone past the era of brute force and bluffing of the Soviet days.
That's why you have to respect the Chinese! Even as powerful as they are now, you don't see them confronting the USA directly, because deep down they aren't in the same level in every indices of development or civilization.

For someone that claims that media house are biased yet spewing their propaganda.
Putin's action has nothing to do with his ego. Any sane Russian leader would do the same to protect Russian interest.

aresa:


What you highlighted has nothing to do with the media or propaganda.

Missy89:


So according to you Putin's decisions as regards Ukraine is based on his ego? yes or no?

oldenglish:
Rubbles had a slight rebound today. I still believe that if Mother Russia go down many European countries will go with them. Despite the sanction Greece signed a military pack with Russia some 2 days ago.

Vlad made it know to Russian during his last broadcast that they will rebound within 2 years. Those guys are turf people and they will come back. Sometimes disappoints are blessing, Russia will have a rethink and diversify their economy this time around.

Just today Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann confirmed the fear of many on how the Russian economy will drag many European economy down.

I personally feel that USA is trying to keep both Europe and Russia down at the same time.

aresa:


That was his personal opinion and you can not discount other people's observations and opinions and at the same time label them media propaganda. That was a cheap shot unless you have your own better opinion and views to counter his..

Lol. The only sane and knowledge poster on the thread who understands what is going on.

The US is trying to kill two birds with one stone - make Russia crumble with Europe - but it is going to be at the receiving end when it is all said and done. Hence Putin still remains the favourite to win on the long run.

Deflation has hit the Eurozone and it is only going to get worse. Just be on the look out for Germany. But Russia has China to fall back on to turn the tide - the Chinese offer of trading in Yuan and currency swap is the holy grail. Putin will outsmart them again lol.

SirShymex:


Out of ya depth, mate.

Stick to Nigerian and Odua politics.

Thanks and don't let the door hit you on ya way out.

The way we call the Chinese self, America has debts, trillions no doubt. But guess who owns the debt- the same Chinese. And they are happy too...guess you know why, imagine d US defaults on their debts to China, who will suffer more?

great master? A great master is known not by his power to give order but by the number of followers who are ready to execute his order. He doesnt even command a good following in his domain let alone around the globe.
Hahaha from ussr to just russia. Them dong start again to provoke america abi? Ok . The next thing that will hit them: rusSIA will become SIA. Instead of solidifying the foundations of thier sovereign unity(whatever remnants is left of it) they are busy making AND remaking enemies with the west without watching thier back. Well, mugu fall guy wack. make dem continue...

Missy89:


Please keep quiet.

Saying Putin's policies are regards Ukraine was based on his ego is a direct line straight out of the MSM. What do you expect him to do? , roll over and let Ukraine join NATO? kick out his black sea base? or allow Ukraine to sign an economic agreement which would allow the EU to dump their goods in Russia throu Ukraine taking advantage of the duty free agreement of the CIS?

He is even a moderate considering the fact that he hasn't overtly occupied Eastern Ukraine already.

obongproff:


Bros, dis books are day in ebook formats also or hard copies only?

aresa:


You are entitled to your views and opinions same just like the poster you tried to denigrate. But saying his opinion was media propaganda was thoughtless and reckless.

It's easy to say your rant about Russia's need to invade and terrorise her less powerful neighbors was a necessity based on the reasons you stated was Russian media propaganda.

Stick to your opinion and let others stick to theirs..

Missy89:


I know English is difficult for most of you folks on nairaland.

I never said anything was a necessity. I said it was predictable an has nothing to do with ego.

What do you expect him to do? , roll over and let Ukraine join NATO?
