I understand your plight.


You know its a common human trait, we always like to hear that there is another stronger giant that can beat that strongest giant we all fear



Many people want to see another country that can beat and win US, so when Russia start their gragra, we like to support them hoping they would throw US on the floor so we all can jubilate but its not now, US remains the world power, even Russia is scared of daring them.



Russia was announcing their withdrawal using a US owned platform, yet you believe Russia can win US, no be juju be that



Uncle SAM remains the Big Brother till the world ends, China and Russia should go and eliminate poverty and economic hardship in their countries first and enrich immigrants who came from poorer countries before they can start measuring prick with the great America

you're very ignorant.. stop the American worship, they are not what the media paints them to be

Freestainworld:
Russia would have invaded Ukraine but backed down because they blew their cover.

Even after they repeatedly stated they were not?

thundafire:
here and USA played mind games,so now is to see who will act 1st

The world is aware that Putin is playing hitlers game and that is why they keep exposing his next move there by making it difficult for him to act

rottennaija:

Even after they repeatedly stated they were not?

They would have attacked if not that the west keep exposing their plans
You can’t attack a country that already knows all your plans

Revolution2022:
Putin is afraid of sanction that is why he pull out from the Ukraine invasion.

What sanction? How has the sanction against Russia and China been working all along? Infact, the sanction against China hurts the Americans economy and citizens even more.

Flier:
They would have attacked if not that the west keep exposing their plans
You can’t attack a country that already knows all your plans

get this clear, no matter whatever warning the US gives, if Ukraine joins NATO, Russia will invade. It's that simple. If the US is so sure of winning this war and their sanctions, if NATO is so Confident winning, let Ukraine join NATO. It's that simple and they know it.

And they did

Freestainworld:

Thank you. US lit fire up their ass. I like the pressure from US. Dem no give dem chance.

So why is Russia crying? They should have allowed Ukraine to join before invading, let's see.

stfu!

Nigga Putin pull out, because classified information and key strategy of his invasion has been made open. NATO, US and other concerned nations should keep eyes on Russia, because they may go on surprise attack when least expected

franchasng:
Respect The US any day, any time, they are truly the world power.


US and her European allies put fear in Putin's heart and he chickened out.



Putin made up his mind to invade Ukraine but they saw that US and NATO were determined to retaliate by all means even though US President tried to hide this in his speech, but Russia saw past his deceit that US won't confront Russia.



Russia would have turned to a country that used to be powerful, US and NATO would have used this opportunity to teach Russia a big lesson that would have brought Russia to her kneels.



They don't win war with just military weapons, do you have the money, the economy, the allies, the media outreach and willpower? US tick all boxes but Russia doesn't.





Putin should focus on eliminating economic hardship among all Russians just as China is focusing now. Make Russia one of the most prosperous nations on earth first before you start thinking of starting war with a world power like US and her great allies under NATO

You don't know Vladimir Putin. He never wanted to invade Ukraine because he would have even before morning in the US.

All mind games and to get the US to do what he wants.

frugal:

So why is Russia crying? They should have allowed Ukraine to join before invading, let's see.

is that crying? How did they stop Ukraine from joining NATO? Ukraine govt is not administered by Russia, so how exactly did they stop Ukraine from joining their beloved NATO? They made it very simple and clear, join NATO and we come for you.

Suspect33:
you're very ignorant.. stop the American worship, they are not what the media paints them to be

I see, let's worship another evil, Russia, fixed

UKraine will never be allowed to join NATO because it’s wrong! but Putin have no right to tell Ukraine what to do or how Nato should handle Ukraine
It’s just a matter of time,Russia will start world war 3 because Putins biggest dream is to have back the old Soviet Union which has gone beyond impossible at the moment
Either Ukraine join NATO or not Putin will attack the whole old Soviet Union members,it’s just a matter of time and the world is a well prepared for it
RUSSIANS WILL RISE AGAINST PUTIN and PUTIN will lose power

I like Putin oh, to be honest with you, but invading another country to take their sovereignty just because you feel you are stronger than them is what I hate about this his Ukraine adventure.

I am Igbo man, a typical Igbo man hate cheating, he hates to see anybody marginalized or bullied, that's why Igbos seems to be the only tribe that speak too much in Nigeria. Others may keep mute for reasons best known to them, a typical Igbo man won't.


I may like Russia in other ways but in this very invasion of Ukraine, its totally unacceptable and if I happen to be the leader of a strong nation, I will join in warning Putin and reminding him of the consequences.

Lol. Opposite of what's happening. They said don't join, or we'll invade. They said, Americans, give us some guarantee that Ukraine will not join, or we will not leave this border. You dey twist your own news

observer88:
They should also give a plausible reason for the massive buildup of troops and military hardware around Ukraine for the last few weeks. What I see is a case of getting caught pants down and then employing diversionary tactics.

I won't be surprised if we return to this point in a short while.

Getting caught how? Can any country invAde another country secretly? With 200,000 army, thousands of weapons, do u think they are doing this secretly so no one will know. Its just a show of force, to show what they are capable of. The U.S do it, north Korea, isreal, iraq all try to show off sometimes to scare others

Difrent:


When USA mobilize wepons and men for similar thing its repored as military drill and exercises but when Russia do same its reported as preparing for war.
The only truth in your write up is that western arms manufacturers made brisk money while the misinformation was going on....simply the whole media noise about a war is just a guise sell more weapons to a gullible Ukrain.
If Russia invades ukrain....nato will not lift a finger as ukrain is not a nato member....the USA will do nothing too.....they will just leave Ukrain to its fate and hope its able to defend itself for a while with the weapons they have sold them

Like you rightly said they have moved in weapons into Ukraine, which puts Russia in a very difficult spot.

Here is a history lesson for the emotional weak individuals with zero emotional intelligence.

There is a Budapest memorandum on security assurance, Where UK, Russia, USA and Ukraine signed an agreement, the agreement was those 3 powers would respect Ukraine territorial integrity.
In return Ukraine gave up 5000 nuclear weapons and more than 170 intercontinental ballistic missiles and several dozen nuclear bombers. America paid half a billion dollars for Ukraine to pass all these weapons to Russia to be dismantled. Ukraine gave up it means of deterring Russian aggression.

Fast forward
For one the Ukrainians themselves ousted their former president victor yanukovych, who was purely a Russian puppet in their eyes, because when he fled kyiv he later turned up in Russia. This meant Russia had shredded that agreement with Ukraine. After he fled the Ukraine parliament known as the Rada appointed an acting ministers and president, they wanted economic prosperity and proceeded to sign an association agreement with the European union. Just after taking this action armed men began occupying key facilities and check points on the Crimea peninsula. The whole operation showed all signs of professional soldiers, who had combat fatigues, Putin at first denied they were Russian soldiers and later admit that they were and awarded commendation to their commanders. Doesn't this tell you that Russia had no respect for the agreement and had planned 4 steps ahead in taking the country by force?

It was shocking to the western partners and Ukraine, Ukraine couldn't take action because many enlisted men in the military at the Crimea garrison came from Crimea. Things moved quickly and by early March the Crimean supreme council voted to ask to accede to Russia, then proceeded to schedule a referendum on march 16. This referendum offered only two choices join Russia or return to 1992 constitution, which gave the peninsula significant autonomy.
This was one of the fraudulent move orchestrated on the Ukrainians, because the ballot sheet had no box to tick for those who favored Crimea remaining part of Ukraine under the country constitution. Next thing local authorities reported a 83% turn out with 96.7% voting to join Russia. But how can that be possible when 40% of the Crimea population are ethnic Ukrainians and Crimean tatars? Leaked Classified report from Moscow, showed only 30% turnout with about half of those voting to join Russia. Crimean and Russian officials still proceeded to sign the treaty of accession and Putin ratified the treaty three days later. Making it one of the most illegal occupation, am European married to a Nigerian and all european wars in history have been triggered by a power gabbing land.

Last intelligence shows a large number of ethnic Ukrainians and Crimean tatars have left the peninsula since 2014 and more than 250k including sailors and troops have move to peninsula directly from Russia. If this isn't ethnic cleansing then I don't know what else you can call this. Major economic project in the peninsula have been majorly infrastructure projects such as highway and rail road bridges that links of Crimea via the kerch strait directly to Russia. Crimea now a fully flagged Russian naval station that houses new submarines, surface combatants and combat aircrafts.

Next move Russia have done is in donbas. This time the Ukrainian army were aware and are resisting, it is following the same script of minority Russian in form of militias supported by Russian military and it's proxy wagner group killing Ukrainians and them fabricating a referendum. Everyone knows and always talk of power corrupting and they fail to clearly see the unfolding in their eyes. Putin nurtures the dream of bringing back the Soviet union, but how's that possible when the nation's that broke off are not Russians and don't speak Russians?

We in Europe see this as an expansionist move unfolding, if Russia succeeds in Ukraine next target will be the Balkan state and only heaven knows how it will unfold from there.
The operation of arming Ukraine is important because the act alone will make Putin reconsider his actions, if in an event he pushes to invade then it will be bloodiest because millions of Ukrainians will die in the process of defending their father land and it's then the international community will have justification to get involved.
To all those taking aim at america, you don't know how global politics works. Russia is the most powerful military in Europe and can only be checked mated to an extent by only france and UK due to their nuclear weapons. So yes having america by our side changes the entire dynamics, that even small country like mine can tell Russia to fk off or even expel their diplomats. It's because of America by our side we are able to punish subversive operations in our country. Without america only heaven knows what will be of my country.

THERE IS A SECURITY ORDER IN EUROPE KNOW AS THE 1975 HELSINKI FINAL ACT and subsequent document that state
BORDERS SHOULD BE INVIOLABLE AND NOT CHANGED BY FORCE, Russia act in 2014 SHREDDED this principle.

At least you know you know one of the several reasons why US and Europe formed NATO, a leopard can never change his spot.

There are things you guys haven't made me to understand! People here are actually saying propaganda, gragra and ETC both from Russia and western/NATO side
But what I had been hearing from Russia...is, if you join NATO, I invade.
Ukraine, has not joined NATO and Russia has not invaded.

So, I don't understand the western media tactics or rather propaganda and Russian chicken out, u guys are talking about

Someone should pls clear me or enlighten me more on this issue
Thanks

I love how the people in support of the west, thinks that they're the only ones with sense.

wiseone28:
He is right they did

The US never predicted Nigeria's disintegration!

Baawaa:
Americans with their wrong predictions, that was how they predicted that by 2015 Nigeria will break

It was an insight... They didn't lie about it had Goodluck won his reelection. God just averted the breakup by letting GEJ loose the election. Nigeria is already breaking gradually because the northern muslims has a very different mentality to democracy! After their prediction, we had two agitators. The core reason why Nigeria is still together is that Niger Delta regions are yet to join the struggle. You can't silence them (ND) with prison if they mean business. They can shut down every single crude and frustrate Nigeria such that the only solution would either be to compensate them or divide the country because once ND join the struggle, every other tribe will follow and that's end game for a united Nigeria.

In the end who lost Russia.. Russia has united NATO. NATO had deployed more troops to eastern Europe.
Russia with his struggling economy deployed over 150,000 troops to it borders.. Do you know how much it cost to move such troops and hardware.. All for what? Nothing.. It had even gear up the spirit of the Ukrainians who are now more united..

Wow! I never saw it this way! This must have been the show off that made Crimea become part of Russia today!

Vladimir Putin is a crazy dictator,but thank God he was ambushed by the west.
I don't understand why anyone will blame the Western media for using media warfare against him,in war any method is allowed to gain an advantage over your enemy.
Russia was terribly humiliated by the west,not one single shot was fired and Russia lost a battle that hadn't even started.
Shame on Vladimir Putin and his narcissistic behavior,now he understands there are many people in his inner circle who are ready to betray him if he tries any stupid war move.
For those who are quick to accuse the Us,I don't know what other evidence you need,the crazy man of Europe surrounded another country with more than 100000 soldier,moved missiles close to the border of the Ukraine,and deployed sea and air weapons ready to pound Ukraine at a moment notice.
If the Western media has to resort to high level propaganda to force back the mad man of Europe,then I believe this psychological victory is something the whole world should be happy about...

U are big fool..just list one country Russia has invaded in the past 20yrs zombie, the so-called democratic USA has invaded and organize coup in d follow countries syria, lybia, Afghanistan, Haiti, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Korea, Yemen, Vietnam, Laos

Baawaa:

They were not so wrong sha, because if GEJ was like Trump somehow, you and i felt naija will break

Ghostrye:

lol, you don't pull out of a war for reasons that flimsy. Too many resources would've gone into planning the war to pull out

Only if the cost of planning the war will be more than the cost of the war itself

Suspect33:
you're very ignorant.. stop the American worship, they are not what the media paints them to be

exactly what the guy is saying... If US is not as powerful as the media is painting them, why are they not quiet and why is Russia gradually withdrawing and denying invasion because US is ready to go all out against them? What are their thousands of military personel doing on Ukraine's border and why are they forcing Ukraine from joining NATO? Guy, just keep quiet. Russia has realized they have loophole and can't afford a war with the US at the moment. So, backing off is their next smart move. Russia must be having a secret genocide in the past or a crime syndicate that could be unveiled to the world if Ukraine joins NATO and they're doing all their best to stop them which is too late already. They just don't know how to threaten Ukraine. But this their move would even push Ukraine to join NATO.
