In as much as I am a Biafran and i believe in secession, But i really condemn Russians invasion into the mainland of Ukraine. They would have just stopped at Creamean.

Thanks to God that World powers are condemning this Act else, A country can just wake up and decides to invade another country and life continues. Taking us back to the 15th Century of invasion and conquer as this act will become normal.

We always condemn Fulani Herdsmen for invading our villages and also fight against government trying to forcefully take our land for RUGA( Disguised Invasion of Herdsmen) but today we are happy that Russia invaded Ukraine. Hypocrisy

You rejoiced because Ukraine has been invaded but you are ready to take any kind of weapon both spiritual and physical when your Rich neighbor tries to intimidate you and take over your land. Hypocrisy of a Black man.

How does America vs Cuba has to do with Ukraine?

Innocent Ukraine which was part of USSR then, housing many Nuclear Warhead which was a threat to Existence of USA

Investigative:
Africa only have access to western media

PlayerMeji:
Ukraine and Russia both have cultural heritage, in fact, historically, the land called Russia today used to be called another name which signified Ukraine back then.
Now the case is similar to the Biafran issue but this time without the bloody war. Russia granted Ukraine their sovereignty with the mutual understanding and agreement that Ukraine will not join NATO.

Joining NATO will expose Russia's territorial integrity to the West, meaning that anytime there is any disappointment between Russia and any of the superpowers (USA, UK, Germany, China, etc), what the country needs to do is just to park its warships in any of the NATO countries around Russia and they will be packed in.

So imagine if someone has the right to stand outside your door and attack you anything there is an infringement.. How would life be.

Northernblood5:


Or Maybe you don't have access to proper reasoning.

How will you feel when your Family house you spent alot building is invaded ?

Northernblood5:


I stopped reading when i saw the bolded. You mean a mighty country that was feared by both USA and Russia until 1994 they gave up most of its arsenal to Russia through agreement was given independence? Kai.

Investigative:

With your statement it prove that Africa are lost and lack information
Imagine typing shit that Russia and US feared Ukraine

Northernblood5:


Oga, YES!! They were very much afraid of Ukraine. Just as Nuclear world powers are careful and afraid of each other to prevent Nuclear war, that is exactly how both of them looked at Ukraine.

Read the first paragraph.

Investigative:

I can't educate you for free
This misinformation is much

plaetton:

I have not seen anyone rejoicing that Russia invaded Ukraine.
But I think too many people are ignorant of circumstances and geopolitics that gradually led to this unfortunate event.
I'm not sure that US, China, Britain or any other superpower would allow an enemy military Gang such as NATO to completely encircle it and place strategic weapons in its backyard.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
You meant USSR that was a threat to USA then not Ukraine right?
Most nairaland Putin puppet don't know nothing about the Cuba missile crisis that's why they are so quick to bring that up..
Pls modify that part.. thanks
Thanks for speaking up as a Nigerian that you are.. seriously there is no other way to put it again cos you just summarised everything in a easy to understand way..

Let the nairaland Putin puppet keep deceiving themself here...no matter what Putin do he will never achieve his evil motive against Ukraine and the world.

Elianawalker:
you have been taking this matter really personal and you are on almost all post about this war...

Are you Nigerian or Ukrainian?

If you are nigerian then you need to chill, dont take medicine for another person's headache...


Dont throw insults or show anger like the president of Ukraine is your father...


Just chill, pray and hope for the best... simple...

PlayerMeji:
Oga, who are you listening to?

Who told you America and Russia feared Ukraine until 1994?

I try as much as possible not to expose my ignorance or better lack of understanding on an issue by either keeping quiet or by learning more about the topic than come outside to speak about the same issue and look like an ignoramus.

You have the time to go online and study more about the Ukraine - Russia - America triangle than to come and begin to insult someone who has taken his time to study the issue even before it became a global threat.

The same Ukraine you mentioned was birthed or given sovereignty in 1991.so how can Russia and America be afraid of
Ukraine in 1994?

Use Google and Wikipedia as your guide and you will not miss it next time.

Northernblood5:


In our world today, They should have Sanctioned Ukraine and Isolate them Or they could have presented an enticing deal to them. This is 21st Century. Read through you will understand that the Ukrainian government was trying as much as possible to prevent what is happening now by seeking strong military alliance that will provide security for times like this but America refused their request since around 2008.

plaetton:

That's the point.
Russia is Ukraine's biggest trading partner, biggest financial benefactor and debt holder, not to mention a strong ally. Knowing the military might of Russia, their joint history and Russia's sensitivity to be surrounded by enemies, it was stupid and reckless of Ukraine leaders to seek military alliances with Russian adversaries, who offered them nothing but hollow promises of military protection.
Russian has been blowing the Trumpet for a very long time that NATO should stay away from their backyard and would not tolerate being encircled in its own sphere of influence.

Northernblood5:


You are being brainwashed by Russian media.

Going by your Assertions, It would have been easier for Russia to Tame Ukraine through Sanctions but they didn't so, that propaganda can't fly.

Ukraine didn't start today to request to join NATO, They started in 2008 Even before Albenia . It is not NATO that comes to them, it is Them that goes to NATO. Their is a reason why Many countries surrounding Russia is seeking NATOs membership.

Russia is a Bully, never support what you wouldn't want to happen to you.Russia is wrong.

plaetton:

I don't know any Russian media, talkless of being brainwashed by them.
The facts stated are in the public domain.

In 1962/63, the US almost invaded Cuba to start a nuclear war with Russia because Russia placed Nuclear weapons in Cuba, 90 miles from the US coast. The US military commanders had okayed a nuclear war with Russia, buy the wisdom of JFK prevailed. Again, in that crisis, the same US provoked Russia by putting nuclear weapons in Turkey, Russia's neighbor.
US has invaded and toppled many South and Central American nations for just cozying up to Russia.
So, foe ignorant people who cannot do a little research and see beyond western media propaganda, you will continue to regurgitate western media narratives and talking points.
Now, all of a sudden, the west loves Ukraine,..in the same way they loved the Iraqis, the Libyans, the Afghans and the Syrians.

Northernblood5:


Bla bla bla Cuba this Cuba that, it's boring already. I don't want to be distracted by that event as it has nothing to do with Ukraine. Cuba was never invaded by the US, infact US was already in Conflict with them even B4 the Soviet came, US NEVER INVADED but, the only time it looked as if they tried and failed is when they trained aggrieved Cubans who hated Caestro and encouraged them to take back their country.

The next is Soviets stepping in to buy their Sugar and establish a friendship and from their, they started installing Ballistic missile (Nuclear weapon) in Cuba. US was very mad and threatened Cuba (They never invaded). The US then sent some Naval ships to block off Soviets from bringing more bombs and thanks to God that the Soviets respected themselves and stopped their ship at the die minute. Now how is this Related to what Russia is doing now? US went directly to their match which is Soviet. What is Russia doing in Ukraine? Did US use military invasion to stop Cuba, the answer is NO.

plaetton:

Sorry, I apologize for wasting my time. I give up. I'm not good with narrow minded thinkers who skew through history and pick jaundiced narratives.

Northernblood5:


You refused to study hard and know exactly what happened. You rather chose lies because you hate USA, You type has been brainwashed and made to think that it's the West that is under developing Africa. No, it is not, it is foolish Africans that keeps electing Criminals, it won't stop Westerners from booming economically and Militarily, supporting weak countries.

FallenShitHole:

That is a dumb comparison. Russia is invading Ukraine to take back a region (Donbass) that historically belongs to them and harbors ethnic Russians. Fulani is invading to take over lands that don't belong to them. Use your brain when comparing both.

plaetton:

You have to be narrow-minded to conclude that presenting historical facts is tantamount to hating US.
Objectivity means you have to give up the liking and hating, and approach issues from a fact based posture.
That's why I said I give up. Narrow minded folks like you really tire me out. I don't know how to relate to small minded folks.

ArewaNorth:

Despite the hypocritical support you want black people to show for Ukraine, Ukrainians are currently perpetrating their usual racism amidst this tension.
