Lordswazz:


There was no report of Russian bullying until EU, under the guise of "Economic help" offered Ukraine a deal to join it in 2013 which the then-president of Ukraine rejected (he has a right to do that).
Remember that at this time, the Greek economy, a member of the EU, was in turmoil and nobody been really send them because they weren't of any "strategic" importance.

If you look at the world map and see how close Ukraine is to Russia, you'll know why NATO and EU dey die to bring them into their fold. That way, as a member state, they can place any kind of weaponry facing Russia and then Russia is in soup if it goes against any of their interest.

Russia's annexing of Crimea (which they gave to Ukraine in the first place) was a "protection of sovereignty" move rather than a bullying move. By the time the Ukrainian "revolution" toppled the democratically-elected Ukrainian president largely using the Western press influence, the guy that was going to come next would've been a puppet to the West, agreeing to their every conditions.

I'm not saying Russia is good, no. They're just as dark as the people they fight if not darker. All I'm saying is international politics usually isn't how it seems or it's reported. US and EU want to surround Russia at EVERY cost with allies and military bases/long-range hardware.

Ukraine haven't been in terms with Russia since they declared independence.

Have you ever read that this isn't the first time Ukraine had requested to join NATO but was turned down. So if the West so want to surround Russia why did they do that the first time?

You're talking about international politics and you're coming at me with a one sided bias.

Please go read reasons why former USSR member states are joining NATO.

Everything isn't only about Russia you know

Cuba are still under Russian "influence", so where is the war
Also, where on earth is there any credible Intel that weapons will be placed in Ukraine.
If Russia is provocating because of ballistic missiles in Ukraine from the "West" that's justifiable but this one there's nothing of that nature so how is that the same as Cuba.
the usa was going to open fire if the russians proceeded https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis.

Bro, have you been to any of Europe countries before?
Russia don’t even need to invade those countries. Russians are the largest ethnic group in Europe. More than 5M Russians lived in Baltic state and all Russia have to do is start small.
Even the Baltic region, the Baltic citizens are not buying their government propaganda against Russia again.
Polish people hate Germans more than they hate Russia.


Great work amigo. Russia causing instability in a foreign state is what you're reducing to "start small" like there's nothing wrong there.

But let it be the US being alleged to cause instability in another country and you guys won't use "start small" to justify it.

How do you know... do you have inside knowledge or do they come to you for advice on how to proceed?

Talk about we know like say you dey follow attend their meeting.

Read what you just rushed to Google to copy. US was going to invade Cuba if Russia missiles was still there. They created a navy blockade so Cuba wasn't going to get any foreign assistance. Russia had to smuggle some soldiers to Cuba. That's part of what led to USSR agreeing to remove the missiles.

Its not a matter of Putin's denial, cos he can invade Ukraine overnight.
The question is, who do we believe..
Putin...I'm not planning to invade Ukraine.
US/Western media...Putin will invade Ukraine soon.
Already we know NATO has sent weapon to Ukraine, US has mobilzed close to 100k soldiers to be deployed by NATO.
So who is whipping up all the war frenzy.

Since the tension arose I've noticed that UN haven't say anything concerning perceived Invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Ukraine is an independent and a sovereign nation And also a member of United Nation. Any Invasion of Ukraine by Russia will strip her sovereign status. The UN charter has so far against FOREGIN Invasion of another state and requires collective responds by all members to detter the potential aggressor. So far the issue of possible invasion of Ukriane, UN has far being silent and haven't say anything in relation with the issue. EU has taken the issue up but UN has been behind curtain with no appropriate respond to protect Ukrianias from losing her independent. UN is truly a toothless dog when the game nations play involve Bull dogs and can flex muscle when the weaker states are involved in International politics...
If Russia invade Ukraine it will set another precedent in International politics in which China will follow suits in annexing Hongkong and Taiwan.
It's reality that what sovereignty makes equal, power makes unequal.

Why all this noises from MSM.
Nobody in the EU is buying this Russia that Russia
Over 5M Russians are still living in Ukraine.

We are already paying high bills for gas and electricity because of some EU countries trying to form anti Russia.
That’s how Bulgaria bowed to pressure from USA and EU not to allow South Steam but only for Turk and German government to allow same gas

Sending more than a thousand troops to near borders is Putin expecting an invasion from ISIS or Boko Haram?

Imagine if Russia start having military exercises with Mexico.

Crimea have been part of Russia empire before USA was created.
Turks with the help French and British vs Russia more than 10 times because of Crimea.
Russia Navy have been in Crimea for over 500 years.



What has been Russians Economic contribution to other countries besides being willing to sell Arms How many countries has Russia shown solidarity with over human rights or Terrorists groups?? Or what countries is Russia providing Aides to yearly?

You just don’t expect to take from a people without giving, If Russia wants Allie’s, they should work and spend for it. Not be a support to hostile leaders and expect a pat on the back by those doing better to support those countries in times of hardship.

In times of war how many Refugees from none Europe countries does Russia take in?

which one is US should not have plan as if it's the US that's telling Russia to harass her neighbours and be forming domino

The USA should not have planned to move Ukraine to NATO? Why do you guys always say this as if Ukraine and Ukrainians are inconsequential? You realise that almost 70% of Ukrainians voted to join NATO only after Crimea was annexed? Compared to Russia, Ukraine is a small country. It, therefore, makes perfect sense for them to want to become part of a bigger body for security reasons seeing the events of the past few years. The only reason Russia doesn't want Ukraine in NATO is because they fear Ukraine will be better posed for war with the support of the West. Ukraine is a sovereign country. You don't just wake up and decide it's time to re-acquire them and then insist they shouldn't seek help.

This is not just about Russia not wanting NATO to plant missiles in Ukraine. This is about Ukraine seeking help and thier oppressor trying to make sure they don't get it.
