Shut up you don't know anything. America is the greatest nation in the world. Make Russia dare invade Ukraine if dey no dey hear word. Let Putin dare to enter Ukraine. He is scared because America is now involved.

Russia invade Ukraine several years ago and controls the Eastern part of the country today.
Where have you been?

Realists:


" Mental slavery is more dangerous than body slavery" Bob Marley.

Your mumu never do ?.
Did Russia, North Korea & China ever enslaved your ancestors ?.
United kingdom ( Uk) & America that enslaved your ancestors & are still enslaving you today under the guise of neocolonialism, but here you are worshipping them due to brain washing they did to you using christianity as a tool, that if you don't worship a sun god, you are doomed.

Before Colonialism by Western nations became a thing, the Arabs using Islamic conquests fleeced the Black Continent off humans and material articles. In fact, they introduced Africans as alternative to lowly paid native Americans as cheaper alternatives to the West. Call evil out from its beginning and stop using your misinformed views to take cheap shots at Christianity. For one Christ was not a Caucasian and Christianity existed in Africa long before it got to Rome. Focus on the subject and quit the BS. Nobody used Christianity as a tool here. For what it's worth, it facilitated the destruction of Slave Trade.

Putin ain’t scared
He said he’s not fighting to win he wants to fvck shit up
Irredeemable

He knows he won’t win. His authoritarian ego is driving him nuts. I don’t know whatever he smokz, but I know it’s really strong! You cannot go head to head with NATO. Before you deploy all your nuclear warheads, the Russia will be dust!

How many fronts can he fight? With those limited outdated technological hardwares?

Putin just craving for what he can never finish. And the West craving for his foolishness cos this is the best time to nail Russia. Putin just need eat that bait!

PrinceMajestic:
you're just a low life bacteria infected Christian swine. I'm not a Muslim or Christian b4 u think I'm one. U guys in Christianity are the worst set of people on Earth, u support every evil America does because of your stupid religion, you support destruction in Palestine, killing of children and forcefully taking their lands because of your Christianity but when fulani are killing you and overrunning your lands you complain. You guys deserve every horror Boko Haram unleash on u Christian pigs. I really hate you mehn, so dumb. Before America Egypt was world power, Rome was world power, even Greece and Persia were all world powers at a time but because a slave like you who is meant to die a dumb hopeless slave have been indoctrinated to believe evil America will be world power forever, when there was covid19 outbreak we all saw how US citizens were dying like flies till now. World power didn't save them. When the time comes, slavish pigs like you will perish in a more gruesome death compared to dead rats. Stupid pig

Excuse sir, you are the most stupid person on Nairaland. You are having issue with one person and you added other Christians who don't even contribute or know what is going on here, you are mad sirs, I mean both of you guys. Russia and America you guys wanna kill yourselves for, don't even know you exist.

Shut up you don't know anything. America is the greatest nation in the world. Make Russia dare invade Ukraine if dey no dey hear word. Let Putin dare to enter Ukraine. He is scared because America is now involved.

Don't get it twisted. The only country that can compete with the Almighty US is China.

Russia is not interested in ruling the world. What it wants is respect from US and NATO. The USSR which has the capacity is gone and it is gone for ever. Treat Russia the way you want to be treated.

North korea can not even feed it's own people. Let alone ruling the world.

The idea that Russia, North Korea & Iran wants to rule the world is disinformation and propaganda. The only country that is interested in doing that and has the capacity to do so is CHINAAAAAAAAAA.

This is one of the most reasonable comments I've seen on this thread. Most of those guys are just moved by their imagination and wishes.

The US and NATO have been ignoring Russia's security concerns in Eastern Europe for quite some time now. What Putin is interested in is for US and NATO to address his concerns about their advancement in Eastern Europe.

US and NATO will not fight Russia military if they attack Ukraine (because Ukraine is not yet a member so they don't have the obligation to defend them), but, they will do everything to cripple Russia's economy through sanctions- this is one fact that Russia can't shy away from. Russia's allied like China, Iran, North Korea can't not meet Russia's needs economically if the West decides to impose tough economic sanctions on Russia.


Right now, what Putin wants is for the West to address his concerns, they've been ignoring him for too long hence the need to take this bold step that he is taking right now. If he doesn't act now, NATO under the guidance of US will cunningly and gradually sorround Russia with missiles.

Remember that China just like Russia has been planning an invasion of Taiwan. But that will be a different ball game entirely because, unlike Ukraine, US has a defense pact with Taiwan.

Russia should also park their nuclear bombers in Cuba, let’s see if the Americans will like it also

anonymous1759:



If Russia has breached a million agreements the west has breached a billion do your research.

So why is Russia flexing power?

system21:
Russian should just cool down to avoid America and NATO allies bombing them to stone age

if they had the slightest bit of chance they would have done it already. If it were Nigeria, Colombia Venezuela or Ethiopia that's doing what Russia is doing America would have already bombed them and try to capture their president. If you try anything with Russia everybody will die the same day.

udemzyudex:

How are they flexing power ?
Does holding military drills means you’re flexing power? NATO also holds military drills . What will you call that ?

phorget:



But you'll rather go to America/UK than Russia/China... Guess you love slave mentality.

that's because we can't speak Russian and Chinese and we have the same religion and similar culture as a result of colonialism. Egyptians who speak Arabic and share same religion with Arabs would rather go UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia than USA. Francophone West Africans would rather go France.
Colonialism and Western imperialism have consequences.

so you only do what people tell you to do. interesting.

Nobody anywhere has told you to have gay sex. if you decide to do that, that's on you.

FamTomx2:


Russia, China, Iran has been on US watch list for possibly in possession of lethal nuclear weapons..

It will not be funny if Putin dares attack Ukraine..US is on a high alert... according to US defence minster he said "this could be our chance" China is not ready for war now, Putin is only playing a mind game cos US and other European countries are interested in this dispute.

You should ask the general how they intend to fight Russia. Do you think the US have the capacity to travel thousands of kilometers to europe to fight Russia? You need to think again. Or you think the US can nuke Russia without Russia returning the favour? Do you even think Russia can be invaded? Even without Nuke, Russia still a threat.

The West was evil for past slavery and those countries you mentioned are evil for current global tensions, oppression and threats to world peace.

Two things can be true at once. Life is not always either/or.

Well said

Why was NATO created??

It's a matter of time Ukraine will be announced as NATO member, Ukraine boarders will be used instead, they shares the same boarder line with Russia..

Russia now see the alliance of Ukraine with NATO will be a security threats.

USA needs Ukraine more than they need themselves..

Moscow cannot go to war with the Almighty.

The NATO article 5 which says an attack on a member is an attack on all. We only work to deter any form of aggression against NATO members. But when the threat of war between a major nuclear state and NATO is real. The chance that the alliance will break is extremely high. Some countries like Hungary, Croatia, Montenegro e.t.c will let their citizens get NUKES because of the US miscalculation in europe. Infact you will be shocked that the likes of Germany and France will pulled out. Because the two will be the major target in a nuclear war. In reality the article 5 will not work.

Ukraine will never join NATO. The country is not qualified. For a country's to join, the country must be stable. The country must not have any territorial dispute. Ukraine will never join NATO. RUSSIA is not interested in fighting the US. Puttin doesn't want Ukraine to join Nato and he will get what he wants.

Russia aims to ward off NATO in the event of a Ukraine invasion
By Paul Sonne and Ellen Nakashima
February 15, 2022 at 8:41 p.m. EST
As Russian President Vladimir Putin sends mixed signals about his willingness to invade Ukraine, his military continues to undertake activities that appear designed not only to ready an offensive but to thwart any attempt by the United States and NATO to intervene, according to Western officials and analysts.
Get the full experience. Choose your plan
President Biden, who on Tuesday warned that Russian forces around Ukraine now number 150,000 even as Moscow claimed that some of its forces had pulled back , has explicitly ruled out the possibility of deploying U.S. troops to combat an invasion. Such a move, the president has said, would risk another world war. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has made similar pronouncements about Western military intervention.
[Biden says U.S. has not verified a pullback of Russian troops from Ukraine’s border, despite Moscow’s claims]
The prospect of a large-scale nuclear exercise, the presence of sophisticated air defenses in Belarus and elsewhere, and an array of powerful naval assets spread throughout the Black and Mediterranean seas have underscored to Western capitals just how difficult and dangerous
any attempted intervention would be.
The Kremlin, said Samuel Charap, a Russia specialist and senior political scientist at the Rand Corp., is looking to “abundantly disincentivize” the alliance even from contemplating coming to Ukraine’s aid militarily. “The way the Russians have thought about this kind of an operation is they have two problems to solve,” he said. “One is the immediate issue of outgunning smaller adversaries along their periphery like Ukraine, and the other is deterring NATO — the U.S., really.”

[West prepares to sharpen eastern defenses if Russia invades Ukraine ]
Russian state news media have reported that the country plans to hold its annual strategic nuclear exercises during the first half of this year, earlier than usual. U.S. and European officials have said they expected those drills to begin this month, potentially to coincide with an invasion of Ukraine, but thus far there are no public indications that has happened.
A senior Western intelligence official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive security matter, said that the intent of such an exercise would be to “send a message to the West — that ‘we have strategic capabilities, and if we’re pushed too far, we might use them.’ ”
Mathieu Boulègue, a research fellow in the Russia and Eurasia program at London-based Chatham House, said, too, that it could be calibrated to hold NATO at arm’s length while Russia proceeds with an invasion.
“It is a signal sent to the West and to NATO in particular saying, ‘Don’t move,’ ” Boulègue said. “ ‘Don’t try anything stupid because we can quickly escalate to the nuclear threshold if we need to.’ ”
Putin put Russia’s nuclear forces on alert while he annexed Crimea from neighboring Ukraine in 2014, stating later that year, as Russia escalated its backing for separatist fighters in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, that, “It is best not to mess with us when it comes to a possible armed conflict.” Russia, he told the audience comprising participants in a Kremlin youth camp, “is one of the leading nuclear powers.”
Putin made a similar statement during a news conference this month with French President Emmanuel Macron in Moscow, warning that if Ukraine were to join NATO and attempt to take back Crimea, European countries would end up in a military conflict with Russia.
“Of course, NATO’s united potential and that of Russia are incomparable,” Putin said. “We understand that, but we also understand that Russia is one of the world’s leading nuclear powers and is superior to many of those countries in terms of the number of modern nuclear force components.”
[Russian military move into Belarus poses risks to more than Ukraine ]
Separately, joint military exercises between Russia and Belarus, scheduled to conclude Sunday, are aimed at demonstrating Moscow’s capability in addition to potentially providing cover for an invasion of Ukraine from the north, the senior Western intelligence official said.
Those exercises have included S-400 air defense systems positioned very close to the Polish border. They are capable of shooting down planes and missiles, and reaching into NATO territory.
Positioning the S-400s there is part of a broader move by the Russians to complicate the airspace in a way that would deter Western intervention. In addition, the missiles that military analysts say Russia has placed in the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, Belarus, in Russian territory near Ukraine and in the Black Sea, when combined with the S-400s, would make a flight into Ukraine by U.S. or allied aircraft incredibly risky if not impossible in the event of a full-blown conflict. Those moves also pose threats to NATO over the Baltics.
“I’m confident,” the senior intelligence official said, “that the so-called ‘exercise’ is also intended to put Russian troops and advance Russian capability into a geographic position to send a message to the alliance that, ‘Look, if you seek to operate in that airspace, whether to do a noncombatant evacuation from Ukraine or if you intended to intercede militarily in this, you would have to fly through our engagement zone and those air defenses.’ ”
[In their shared sea, Ukraine and Russia already risk direct conflict every day ]
Russia underscored its naval powers and regular proximity to U.S. and NATO vessels with a massive exercise Tuesday in the Mediterranean. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu observed the drills, which state news agency Tass said involved more than 15 combat ships from Russia’s Pacific, Northern and Black Sea fleets.
Russia also has moved a fleet of naval vessels into the Black Sea, including Ropucha-class landing ships designed to invade territory through beach landings. A Russian Kilo-class submarine, which can hit targets with Kalibr cruise missiles similar to American Tomahawks, was
spotted this week passing through the Bosporus into the Black Sea. Notices closing large parts of the Sea of Azov were issued but later lifted, underscoring Russia’s ability to blockade Ukraine.
It’s a signal, said retired Adm. James G. Foggo III, former commander of U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, that “it will be a combined land, air and sea campaign.”
Beyond the possible involvement in a Ukraine invasion, the large naval presence shows Russia’s ability to cause problems for the three NATO members that also have vital Black Sea coastlines.
Russia’s past muscling of Ukraine in the Sea of Azov — Russian authorities fired on three Ukrainian naval vessels in the Kerch Strait in 2018 and captured 24 of their sailors in a protracted dispute — raises the prospect of broader challenges in the Black Sea. The current Russian presence could complicate trips by NATO warships into the waters.
Foggo said U.S. warships would continue to go into the Black Sea but that doing so now would risk exacerbating existing tensions.
“I think we will continue to go in there and flex our muscles,” he added, “but right now … it could make matters worse.”
