You mean what happened to Afghanistan when the US finished training the Taliban and leaving sofisticated weapons in their hands. Even US citizens won't say this thing you just spilled out.

Stop praising bad thing, this Russia-Ukraine crisis is the hand work of US. It's unfortunate that their stupid president is putting the lives of Ukrainians at risk. Worse is Nigerians supporting them, when they won't even let you get to safety. These are racist nations and they don't rate you.

You want America and the west to fall Abi? Ask Afghan citizens what happened to them after America left them... Iswap go soon knock fir una door, make world war start first.. una think say na to trek and sell Agbo and manpower under sun we dey talk so? Una eyes go clear when FULANI from Sahara desert (guy man) like you go begin Shook preek for your yansh, rape your mother and sister and Kill your brother for your face. Many of you don't know Nigeria is just like Afghanistan,some of our military men are allies to the terrorists just like in Afghanistan and their only fear presently is the international community. Even our Politicians are not left out, so keep clapping and dancing for war, in eye go soon clear just like those Muslim when dance during the early years of Boko Haram. Today na them be shooting practice equipment for same bandits they cheered.

*For those confused about the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, and by extension NATO.*
— Russia represents a polygamous husband with many wives like Ukraine, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belorussia, and the other Ex-Soviet Republics.
— In 1991, Ukraine being the most beautiful wife, demanded a divorce from her draconian husband.
— Russia grudgingly allowed her, but due to his toxicity and ego, he would rather see her remain single, subservient, and dependent.
— As a dynamic lady, Ukraine rapidly developed herself into one of the most beautiful women after the divorce.
— To the chagrin of Russia, Ukraine, his ex-wife, becomes a center of attraction wanted by other men, including his foe, NATO.
—Ukraine’s pulchritude and natural endowment earn her recognition from NATO—a counterpart to Russia.
—The relationship between NATO and Ukraine started growing at an alarming pace, unsettling the nerves of the ex-husband, Russia.
— As expected of a toxic narcissist, Russia went berserk. He insisted that a relationship between Ukraine and NATO will breed conspiratorial connivance, which poses a more significant threat to the masculinity and ego of Russia.
— NATO, a polygamist like Russia, is a liberal. His wives include the U.K., U.S., Greece, Germany, Spain, and many more.
— To NATO, the addition of Ukraine to his fleet of wives makes him more powerful and gives him an upper hand ahead of Russia.
— To Russia, NATO, and Ukraine’s marriage poses a grandiose threat to his territory. Therefore, he is committed to ensuring the relationship never happens.
— In his quest to truncate this relationship, Russia wants to reconstitute his past relationship; he is a nationalist, a fascist in the mode of Adolf Hitler.
— As a result of this, he abruptly barged into his unsuspecting ex-wife’s house a few days ago.
— The unwanted guest is currently holding her hostage, surrounding her house with hundreds of _dongaris_.
— NATO, at the moment, is scrambling for how best to rescue his new wife from her abusive ex.
— Russia had warned that anyone who interferes as he gobbles Ukraine would suffer consequences that they did not dream possible; that is, he has nuclear weapons to eviscerate even those who know nothing about his strained relationship with his ex.
—Right now, Ukraine is stuck between an abusive ex-husband and a new lover who has promised her the most exquisite things in the world.
— The world is perturbed as they watch this dispute in awe and fear.
— The rescue mission, if haphazardly planned, may likely boomerang into an all-out war between the two suitors and their friends.
— NATO, a businessman (Capitalist) and the controller of the G7, has threatened to impose severe sanctions against Russia if he fails to withdraw his _Dongaris_ from Ukraine's premises.
— The G7 are the big guys around. They include the U.S., U.K., Canada, EU, Italy, Japan, France, and Germany. An affiliation with these guys is lucrative, capable of catapulting any country to booming affluence.
— The essence of these sanctions is that these big guys will ghost Russia and cut every tie with him in an attempt to humble him “economically.”

*How is Africa connected to this conflict?*
— Africa should be worried about one thing, her economy.
— Economically, Africa and the rest of the world will be significantly affected should a war break out in Europe.
— The world is yet to recover fully from the aftermath of COVID-19.
— Asides from that, I see no reason why any African country/leader should take sides, at least, for now.
— Russia is the only European country that stood with Africa during the colonial period. Russia fought with Angola against the South African apartheid regime and defended Lumumba.
— Africa had better be spectators rather than a participant in this conflict.
— It is not on record that Russia had once colonized or invaded the African continent like Ukraine's new husband once did.
— There is an ongoing liberation in Mali. Russia is currently liberating Mali from French Imperialism.
— The embittered ex and the new husband are inconsolable at the moment.
— Although Olori Ebi (the United Nations) has attempted to mediate, Russia is deviant to his appeasement because the U.S. is the one feeding Olori Ebi the most. Understandably, he may not favor Russia.

China launched its Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) in 2015, using the yuan. Russia developed its System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS). To build an independent Russian-Chinese financial system by linking the two should not be a problem. The main question is to choose the standard currency – possibly the yuan.

Once the system is up and running, that’s perfect for Iran, which badly wants to increase trade with Russia but remains handicapped by US sanctions. Iran has already signed trade agreements and is involved in long-term strategic development with both Russia and China.

The children of Islam ever raging with all their rage of plans which end results is to see Israel in the final outcome totally wiped out but YHWH continues to laugh at their plans and plots.

US trained Taliban, yet your Russia and China were first to romance them. Biden was smart, it's no use fighting a war that no one appreciates. Do you know how many Journals have been written to blame the US and the UN for not interfering during the Rwanda genocide? Some people are already blaming the EU and US for not going to rescue Ukraine. Just as Biafrans look up to them today for support, so many countries do and this is not about racism because it's quite obvious that a world without the US would have been in chaos. Just imagine how Russia and North Korea keep misbehaving because they have nukes. Now imagine if the US have allowed every Goat and fowl to build nukes, do you know what would have happened when some people get provoked? Did US not go into South Korea? Is South Korea dead today? Those countries were sponsoring terrorism and it's obvious with the way weapons comes to ISWAP in Nigeria through Libya.

10years to come. If there is no change of government. Russia, China, North Korea and Iran will form a serious world order that is parallel to the West.

The question is how do they do business with the rest of the world??
Re: Russia Vs Ukraine: What Is SWIFT And Could It Be Used Against Putin? by SpinderSea: 10:20pm On Feb 27, 2022
The sanctions used against Russia is a time bomb for the west especially USA. They are literally falling off as the world leader as their currency is on time support(also their internal issues). Something they are trying to avoid is to force Russia and china to have a relationship of no limit which already happened this month or last month during winter Olympics. I feel Russia already saw this coming so the sanctions will likely not affect Russia as much as it would if they didn't have that relationship with china. The impact can be determined with how economically powerful china is and also Africa will have influence on the next world power which will likely be china knowing how indebted we are to them

That's how someone came up here to state a similar thing like this last week...
"Once the payment is up and running".
So what's happening to it currently? " Down and crawling? "

Russia is a huge export economy, more especially it's Gas, Removing them from Swift, will seriously affect other countries that are dependent on imports from Russia. Similar move was made on Iran around 2014, which nearly crippled their economy. I hope Putin will put an end to this destruction. Anyway na their problem.
It is not just their problem. We could be affected. Like you rightly pointed out, Russia is a huge exporter of gas and they drive that market (influence price markers)to a good extent. Nigeria imports gas and other refined petroleum products. If these sanctions against Russia hold, it may have a cumulative effect on us as well.

You sound wella and you sabi something , i hail you 100%. correct illustration. oil no only dey your head but e full the head. More knowledge,wisdom and understanding i pray you.

NATO were are thou? go through the agreement and please do the needful before people will all die in Ukraine. May God have mercy and intervene because know PUTIN is above God.
