Your daftness is on another level.

The USA and it's NATO allies will crumble Russia like they crumbled the USSR and there is nothing anybody can do about it. We are now in the last age of total western domination. You can cry, throw a tantrum, throw your toys out of mamas pram or even hyperventilate - the truth is that Russia is a baby when it comes to USA and NATO power.

And you think China will join Russia to fight NATO ? You must be on a drugs or something harder grin grin
You are funny if you think Turkey will sacrifice her country for East Europe countries.
Greeks are more concerned about Turks then Russians.
There are already division within NATO members.
Croatia, Bulgaria and Czech already planned to withdraw troops from Poland as their own citizens are kicking against it.

Honestly US and NATO are the definition of noise. Both US and NATO leaders have said they won't send any boot on ground. Then you're saying you will respond. How? Only 10% of Russia's trade is done via dollar so it's obviously not sanctions. Initially they said Russia will invade on Monday, then they said Tuesday. Make everyone gettat abeg.

Lol. You should even be commending the US and NATO for standing up for a country that is not in NATO. They don't have any security obligations to Ukraine.

If Russia head dey hot, make Dem attack countries close to them that are in NATO (Poland, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Albania, Lithuania).

All these warnings na just mouth!

US has tapped out of sanctions, and they do not have any more leverage left over Russia. At least not when China's got Russia's back.

We have seen how harmful the sanctions from 2014-2017 are already performing on Russia grin. I don't want to go into numbers, but the truth is that any great power, with huge mineral resource like Russia, can easily shrug off sanctions.

The US has to accept - and if it is not ready to accept, it will be forced to; that a unipolar world is not only dead but impossible! Building propaganda narratives like Trump's trade war with China, that is damaging the US economy will do US no good.

And for those whose mouths are on a steady on CNN's butt, hear this: Russia never threatened to attack Ukraine. Never!

Hear it again, Russia never threatened to attack Ukraine NEVER! It never threatened to attack Ukraine even if Ukraine joins NATO - i.e. even if Ukraine is admitted into NATO. What is being said is that in the likelihood of Ukraine joining NATO, the Eastern Ukrainians, i.e. the republic of Donbass region who are ethnic Russians will reject the admission into NATO, and will decide to declare independence. After all, why will they join an association that is set-up to fight them?

Russia is just re-echoing the sentiments of the Eastern Ukrainians, promising - like in the case of Crimea and South Ossetians to honour their request, and probably defend their (Donbass) sovereignty.

Therefore, it'd be utter lunacy for Ukraine to think that they can join NATO, and at the same time prevent ethnic Russians in Ukraine from Joining their motherhland. It's just plain stupid!

If Ukraine wants to Join NATO, they are welcome to do that, as long as they do not stand in the way of the Eastern Ukrainians quest to rejoin Russia. But if they think they can eat their cake and have it, then they should get ready for carpet bombing. Which even the combined power of NATO won't save them!

Are you really sure the combined power won't save them? As fit the sanctions, Russia has not really seen sanctions recently from the US as Trump merely handled them with levity coz they did his bidding. There's still much more card to play by the Americans on Russia in terms of sanction. In economy and arsenal, US is still the world power remember?

Russia cannot survive war with US talk more of NATO.


People cheering Putin are only deceiving him. Russia is not a developed nation, which means their citizens are still struggling economically. So having military weapons is not enough to win a war or to sustain it.



Russian citizens will die of hunger should Putin start a war that lingers more than 4 years, unless Putin has made up his mind to destroy Russia and also destroy some none Russians with it.



I laugh when they say Russia have nuclear weapon, so US, France, Germany, UK, etc don't have Nuclear weapons?



When it comes to allies, US have the highest number of reliable allies in the whole world.


Russian allies are hungry nations and jokers who are bullies like Russia.


China will desert Russia once war escalates just as Awolowo reneged on his promise to Ojukwu and even went to collect political appointment from Gowon, thats what China will do to Russia.


North Korea is broke.

Iran is a noisemaker.


Putin knows this, that's why he is gradually pulling out his soldiers from Ukraine's sides. Russians will start a massive nationwide protest against Putin should Putin start a useless war now.





US remains the world power nation.

Those are apples to oranges comparisons.

Yes, America was foolheaded to think they can swung in and change a country’s culture and rule. The people determines how they want to be ruled and in some countries, they don’t want democracy, America have to learn that, that is why their previous experiments have failed.

In this case, Ukraine want to self rule and they want to join NATO and such have gone ahead to write it in their constitution. Russia wants them to renounce their intentions of joining NATO and so far, they have refused hence this confrontation.

All America is trying to do is to aid them in want they have already determined is best for them, America is not dictating Ukraine stands to them.

Russia is also right not to want Western Alien at their border and they rightly don’t trust America, situations like these are best worked out through dialogue and diplomacy and not through the threat of war.

I see this situation very similar to your ex-wife with whom you have beautiful kids that you adore wanting to be best friends with your arch enemy and for the seek of your kids, you don’t want that friendship to happen….but as it is, all the cards are not in your hands.

For those asking why the war and noise? It's simple, separatism and the battle of supremacy (Crimea or Western Ukraine):

1. Ukraine want to self rule, Russia don't
2. Ukraine wants to join NATO, Russia don't want such to happen
3. Putin wants Crimea under the Russian rule, Ukraine don't.

Biden talking trash— so he thinks he can stand Putin? Haaa! NATO and EU should just stay clear let these two settle their matter, that's all Putin is demanding for the now, as he said, if both NATO and America push more, they are crossing the red line and it's simply a call for war.

Trump withdrew weaponry support to Ukraine, making it reason for his first impeachment trial, and now this old cargo wants to support, that's what Americans wants, always wanting to be on the news.

Much as it appears that Russians like Putin, I strongly believe that the day the former Soviet superpower will have a new leader will truly mark the end of the cold war between the US and Russia.

Putin should not drag over 146 million people into a stupid war he could have avoided. It's easy to start a war but nobody knows how and when it will end. You are dealing with NATO here, not just the Americans. Common sense, not ego, should prevail.

To you it's a stupid war, to people of Eastern Ukraine and Russian people, it's war to protect their mother land championing by Putin.

And why is Putin demand to Ukraine is that, they should make a pronouncement that, they wouldn’t join NATO as a pre-condition for normalcy?

Lol. Tapped out of which sanctions? Maybe you don't know that the Russian economy is hurting and continues to hurt from US sanctions. With Russia's size, population, mineral resources and potentials, they are not in the top 10 largest economy in the world by GDP. That is what sanctions can do. If they are eventually kicked out of SWIFT, the Russian economy will totally collapse.

You said China has Russia's back? Lol. And you think China can save Russia if it is eventually kicked out of SWIFT? Even China is sceptical of Russia's economic reliance on them in place of US sanctions.

You said Russia never threatened to attack Ukraine. Lol. And if they wanted to attack Ukraine, you expected them to make an announcement? Very funny. The US and NATO's assessment of a possible Russia invasion of Ukraine are based on intelligence reports and satellite images of Russia's deployment of troops and weapons close to Ukraine border and Belarus. Nobody cares what Russia says verbally. Their action is already loud enough.

You talked about Ethnic Russians threatening to join Russia if Ukraine join NATO. Lol. Who is holding them from joining their motherland? They can cross the border to go to Russia but not an inch of Ukraine Territory will go with them.

Putin is just being paranoid. NATO is encircling Russia and he is scared! grin. He is begging for security guarantees from the US. grin

And what makes you think he hasn't been using Russian resources to develop his country? To ensure your own survival, you first have to be secured/feel secure.

Russia has been rebuilding itself in all aspects and dealing with the consequences of the Soviet fall while at the same time America is busy causing havoc and shoving democracy anywhere they can, when in fact democracy/freedom is just an illusion and a means for exploitation. Communism has been proven to be effective with visionary and loyal leaders.
Tell me a democracy that the people truly enjoy economic prosperity as it should be..?

Imagine you have a mortal enemy and he buys a house for his concubine next to yours, will you feel secured? NATO is just a proxy of US military and if indeed a war happens, America will abandon NATO and Europe.

The Western media is just hyping this up because their owners are not having it their way in easy access to the Eastern resources, and the new Russia is structured to resist America's game.

Russia has always been a world power before Putin rose to power. He didn't build anything, he's only interested in military capacity as to keep himself in power and eliminate any opposition at will.

Russia was nothing after Soviet, ruled and exploited by Western puppets and it was Putin who got rid of them and made it his mission to rebuild Russia and and alliance of old Soviet.

How is it possible that a weak economy can rebuild and advance its military to modern standards within a short period of time?

OK They took Crimea, what happened?

Re: US President Biden Warns Russia, Says NATO Ready To Respond by sweetjohn(m): 1:12pm On Feb 16, 2022
GTkester:
All these warnings na just mouth!

US has tapped out of sanctions, and they do not have any more leverage left over Russia. At least not when China's got Russia's back.

We have seen how harmful the sanctions from 2014-2017 are already performing on Russia grin. I don't want to go into numbers, but the truth is that any great power, with huge mineral resource like Russia, can easily shrug off sanctions.

The US has to accept - and if it is not ready to accept, it will be forced to; that a unipolar world is not only dead but impossible! Building propaganda narratives like Trump's trade war with China, that is damaging the US economy will do US no good.

And for those whose mouths are on a steady on CNN's butt, hear this: Russia never threatened to attack Ukraine. Never!

Hear it again, Russia never threatened to attack Ukraine NEVER! It never threatened to attack Ukraine even if Ukraine joins NATO - i.e. even if Ukraine is admitted into NATO. What is being said is that in the likelihood of Ukraine joining NATO, the Eastern Ukrainians, i.e. the republic of Donbass region who are ethnic Russians will reject the admission into NATO, and will decide to declare independence. After all, why will they join an association that is set-up to fight them?

Russia is just re-echoing the sentiments of the Eastern Ukrainians, promising - like in the case of Crimea and South Ossetians to honour their request, and probably defend their (Donbass) sovereignty.

Therefore, it'd be utter lunacy for Ukraine to think that they can join NATO, and at the same time prevent ethnic Russians in Ukraine from Joining their motherhland. It's just plain stupid!

If Ukraine wants to Join NATO, they are welcome to do that, as long as they do not stand in the way of the Eastern Ukrainians quest to rejoin Russia. But if they think they can eat their cake and have it, then they should get ready for carpet bombing. Which even the combined power of NATO won't save them!
All Muslims hate USA but Russia don't even like Muslims either. Stop spewing rubbish. No country in this world has the capacities and capabilities to stand USA in a full scale war. Wait o, what do you take USA for? Your mate or what. Russia can't stand USA one on one in war uptil 5 days. Biden warm him of great consequences, I expected him to be provoked and went ahead to invade Ukrian but he chicken out. Do you know why? Because he can't stand against USA. Stop saying something that have never happened.
