Ogun Lakaaye Oshimale bless you Vladimirovich Putin - our almighty saviour. Kick out those british bastards & parasites troubling the entire continents with their lies, propaganda & abomination.

And If they go beyond the threshold of logic & common sense due to their insatiable greed to dominate & plunder the rest of the world, let them all die from the barrels of Mother Russia's nuclear launchers.

Volodya - The irunmoles are solidly behind you. The anglo-zionist empire must crumble!

Your signature is Soo deep and Definitely Not far from the truth.

The United States of America is The chief Sponsor of terrorism in the world and it's sad that Majority of the people in the world are Oblivious to this fact.

The Russians are this brazen because they have the support of Donald Trump

I just hope it doesnt affect Russian Football business men in England

Ogbeni u don't know what u re saying,who is the US to give support to Russia before she does what she feels is in her interest? Or maybe u re still thinking we re in the 90s,the tables have since turned and the Russians re taking what belonged to them back and taking no prisoners in the process.. For ur info,they slighted and badly bruised the US's ego in Syria and Crimea,even expelled American diplomats too in response to what the US did to hers too,so who is the US to give support to Russia when in fact they themselves ve had the same treatment that is being dishing out to the British presently ,my friend wake up,the US and Britain don't enjoy that monopolistic control over the world anymore...The US definitely knows her limits when it has to do with Russia and all they can do is saber rattle without real confrontations..Somebody once said the best thing the communists did for Russia irrespective of whether their rule was good or disastrous was the vast nuclear weaponry they made her have if not the US would ve since overran the country since this has always been their plan Bt they re being cautious because any real confrontations between the two would spell doom for the whole world and so far so good Russia has been the only one that has shown maturity so far..

You are waste of space, Vladimir is a racist piece of sh1t funding right wing parties across the world. Right wing parties are racists group that advocate for killing of black folks like you. So using a nerve agent in somebody country is rationalize by idiot like you. Your brain should be donated to a praying mantis.

Quit being an emotional and deluded person. Why can't UK provide proof that Russia truly did what they made claim of?
Same way USA couldnt provide proof concerning Assad using chemical weapons.

Most of you are too brainwashed to be helped .

P.S My quote came from a British citizen living in the UK
Precedence. Polonium 210 was used to murder someone on the streets of London. That grade of Polonium is only available to state actors. The man who administered the toxin on Litvinenko was awarded a state medal by putin for his "heroism" The grade of nerve agent that was used on Skripal is only manufactured in Russia. It's called Novichok. It was exclusively developed by the Solviet union in the 1980s. What more proof do you need?

Lol. I saw someone writing about Russia 'taking' half of Ukraine bla bla bla. It seems like you don't know that before they saw any need to, your 21st century colonial masters that you are not even aware of, tried to penetrate Ukraine pretending to offer them "economic aid".
Now just ponder why they would want to offer Ukraine aid when Greece and Portugal that are both members of the EU need the aid even more since their economies are in trouble. They want to get as close as possible to Russia and then plant a military base there to encircle the country as bullies that they are.

Complete gibberish and utter nonsense from an ignorant folk. How was the monster(Osama bin laden) created? Osama was an American project that was used by the Americans, to distabilize the Afghan govt in the 1970s. Russia as an ally went in for peace keeping to help the Afghan govt flush out the Taliban militia and it was supposed to be a short op. But the Americans were busy funding terrorists and supplying them with cash and ammunition. What was supposed to be a short operation, lingered for years from 1979-1989,led to the death of over 2million afghanistan citizens,crippled the soviet union economically and cost them a lot. This was part of what weakened the former Soviet Union and led to the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. This same stuff was what the fvcktard called Obama, was doing in Syria and arming and training so called "moderate Islamic militias" against the Syrian govt. These dudes were handing over their weapons to Isis. This was an indirect way of strengthening the Isis and all the US wanted to do,was to topple the Syrian govt. Go to all the countries that the Americans have carried out military intervention in,in the last 15 - 20 years and see how useless they are. From Iraq, to Afghanistan, to Libya. Libya's case is even worse cause there are different factions of militias, controlling different parts of the country. If not for Russia, America would have succeeded in turning Syria upside down. In today's present world, we need the Russians to put a hold on,and checkmate America's evil domination. I wouldn't be surprised if the US had a hand in the spread of book haram in northern Nigeria, just to destabilize a government they didn't like.

U are being one sided.
How do u know that Putin was responsible? Most people know that the west hate him so much for being against most of their plans and they would tie things like this to him so they can hit him but what Britain fail to understand is that they are alone on this.
Russia will face them totally because they don't have the whole EU block to hide under anymore.
We will see who will lose more between Britain who has has never endured series of sanctions or Russia that is enjoying sanctions up and down.
Russia knows that Britain is alone so they will strike hard because they are like just like a single man since Brexit.

I don't think I've heard of any EU force or American force in East Ukraine fighting the Russian proxies. It's Ukrainians fighting for their country. You can't invade another country on the pretext that someone is trying to diminish your influence over that country. That's paranoid and obscene! For those students of history who want to understand the rise of Hitler and the events that led up of the second world war, you can steadfastly study Putin and the unfolding events. History always repeats itself.

Russia yesterday set in motion the process of expelling 23 British diplomats following London’s “provocative” measures over the poisoning of a double agent that has triggered an escalating war of words.

The affected personnel have been declared persona non grata and are required to exit Russia within the next one week.

A British consulate is also to be shut and the activities of the British Council in Russia to be halted in a tough series of retaliatory measures announced after summoning British ambassador Laurie Bristow.

The Russian response was announced on the eve of a presidential election which is expected to hand Vladimir Putin a fourth term in the Kremlin.

The crisis erupted after Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were exposed to a Soviet-designed nerve agent on March 4 in the English city of Salisbury, leaving them in critical condition.

London has blamed Moscow and on Friday, even directly implicated Putin in the attack, prompting the Kremlin’s fury.

“Twenty three diplomatic staff at the British embassy in Moscow are declared persona non grata and to be expelled within a week,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.

It said this was a response to Britain’s “provocative actions” and “baseless accusations over the incident in Salisbury on March 4”.

Russian businessman Nikolai Glushkov was found dead in London on March 12, with police opening a murder inquiry after a post mortem found he died from “compression to the neck”

Russia also said that it was withdrawing permission for Britain to operate its consulate in the North western city of Saint Petersburg, citing a “disparity” in the number of diplomatic missions held by the two countries.

And it said it had halted the activities of the British Council, Britain’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, across the country.

“Due to the unregulated status of the British Council in Russia, its activity is halted,” the foreign ministry said.

“The measures are harsh but the British deserved them. And I don’t rule out that something else could follow,” first deputy head of the Russian Senate’s foreign affairs committee Vladimir Dzhabarov told Interfax news agency.
I so much like Putin for being so tough and tight fixed when it comes to taking some critical decisions, Revenge they say is the dish best eaten when cold.
Britain and their nonsense should be curbed,they thought that Russia is among those shithole countries like Nigeria where they mess with and gets away with.

You forgot to add these...
The tunnels used by terrorists in Afghanistan were built by America, most of the so-called gas attacks were done by CIA operatives so they can have what to use to provoke sanctions, most senior guys in Isis are CIA operatives, Most American weapons dealers supply terrorists with weapons...
The list is endless but some Nigerians who just talk without reasoning would just start spewing thrash because they have been brainwashed by American MSM.

Russia is in many ways actually like an African country. Deep seated ethnic divisions, a dictator who has refused to leave the stage and is intolerant of the opposition, openly assassinating his opponents on the streets (Boris nemtsov), a floundering economy that is dependent on oil, massive investment in the military, corrupt elite that loves stashing money and buying property in the West. Absolutely no difference between Russia and a third world African country.

Your assumption is based on the premise that Putin would ever leave. He has spent decades trying to attain the soviet union status for Russia and he is getting really close to that cold war era of respect the world had for Russia. I think Russia has an election soon, he would going for his 4th or 5th term and he has gotten the constitution amended to allow him to be president for life - I think he is going to die there. Personally, I don't think the world has the will to even stand up to Putin and most western leaders are even more angry at America (Obama & Trump) for allowing Russia slowly crawl back into being a nuisance, starting with the middle east. The world is yet to see the real man Putin, he hasn't even shown himself to us yet, see when he is ready, he would swallow half of eastern Europe in a week, it is then we would all accept that the apocalypse has commenced. He is only testing how far he can go for anyone to try to speak up to him, and he does have the ace.



duni04:

I disagree. Putin has his limits and has some form of regard for the west. It's whoever comes after Putin that we should be worried about. That person will be inheriting the deadliest military infrastructure in the world. In the wrong hands, they could spell the end of the world. Putin has managed to keep the entire country stable for almost 2 decades even though the fractures are still very evident. The transniteria problem with Maldives, the Abhazia problem with Georgia and the situation in the North Caucasus. Then the Ukrainian question. Putin has managed to bury all of them in the sand even though they are still there. When Putin leaves the stage, the chaos that will envelop Russia may lead to World war3
