A lot of whys on this topic. I'm enjoying how this war is raising questions, America has abused it's position as the world police . And this war is awakening our consciousness world wide. I just hope Africa is learning.

Don't mind them. Read wide! Read wide! Read wide! As if they've read enough themselves

ICBMs, Nuclear subs, long range stealth bombers offer more strategic nuclear strike advantage than "placing limited range missiles" next to Russia at the risk of a political crisis.

Look at this Clown! You are just mouthing weapons but you know nothing about their Trajectory or flight in space, otherwise you wont even write what you wrote.
Why cant you just tell us why America goes to long efforts to have its Military Bases all around the World, next to Enemy Countries instead of relying in the Weapons you mentioned?
Just tell us that America is as foolish as you are and we will keep quiet. grin
You better sit down and ask yourself, this Question first, before coming here to yawn. grin

Nothing like false narrative. Putin is loosing this one.

He’s already playing his queen (Threatening nuclear missiles). So much for the brilliant strategist. He is not operating on rational but on pure emotion. It’s too late for him to pull back and negotiate. The consolidated economic response along with Ukraine’s steel spine has revealed his weakness.

In other words, this goose is cooked.

Putin is even now threatening google to unban their youtube channel in Ukraine.

The fact that Putin could demand, threaten, kick and scream and the whole world is ignoring him like a toddler on the floor is priceless. It also shows that his “strength” is nothing. He is nothing.


Just want to add that it is still early and the Ukrainian’s are doing the heavy lifting for the rest of the world. We need to remember what they have sacrificed for us.

Stay there and be laughing at Putin for threatening to drop nuke, instead of condemning the US for using the war as excuse to attack Russia economy, by the time Putin drops a nuke it will be too for to do what you ought, which is to condemn US hypocritical act and urge Ukraine to give in.

Civilisation started in Africa, but the West won't let you know

For so many years I doubted that civilization started in Africa oh because I was always watching BBC and cnn who always portrayed Africa in derogatory terms.... until last year or so I had a closer look and found out the truth....

Civilization started in Africa actually but the western Europeans tried to rewrite this truth after semi successful colonisation.

Ancient Egypt is among the oldest civilization which is why it was found in the bible.... bini kingdom, Ethiopia and mali are some notable examples. It all started here in africa.

America is the definition of lies and propaganda. America is a city of criminals. If America tells you the sky is blue don't believe them. America was built on theft. They have succeeded in turning Europe to their vassal state. America and Europe will both be destroyed by Russia and the world will finally know peace
before the coming of America, Europe is a continent of mad war mongers.

The West has the power of the media and they use it for propaganda.
If you want outright knowledge of events around the world, avoid CNN and other American News Channels.
They are just Government tools and anything you see on the screen is regulated and endorsed by the powers that be.

Yet you failed to develop yourselves with the knowledge you acquired but are quick to blame those who decided to use their brains. If Western media are evil, why not develop your own media and report the news the way you deem fit.

CNN and co can send reporters into battlefield to gather information. Nigerian media houses will send a reporter about one week after an incident. I believe that unserious people should shut up and continue depending on White people to lead the world whichever way they seem fit. Why? Because they seem to be the only ones willing to take the risks.

Good question. The Truth is you don't expect everyone to respond with same tactics okay, moreover USA isn't playing with same strategy okay?
The truth is Russia sees Ukraine as a part of Russia, they allowed Ukraine to become sovereign on condition that Ukrain consent to. It was called The Budapest agreement. Ukraine had to give up it Nuclear Weapons because Russia felt threatened by that, why then would they consent to Join Nato an arc enemy of Russia and have Nato military base moved to Russia door? Common it isn't fair.
The best way Russia deems fit to confront this threat is what it doing, which personally I think is bad war is never an option but the west shouldn't come and be claiming Saints. they are all the same.

my friend, idont expect this from you. what has changed btw both crises, nothing.. they are exactly the same. Russia should face the US or Nato if theynt comfortable with Ukraine joining Nato instead killing innocent people who only expressed their right of association.

If Russia was that good, why did all the break awyas not join them as allies? did you think of that... because no democracy will strive with authoritarian friends.

lastly, point of correction, Russia was defeated during the cold war which lead to the break of USSR. they did not release Ukraine willingly as you stated. they where plainly defeated bu the US and Nato.

Putin is not only in Ukraine, he has taken Ukraine; yet you are here spewing nonsense swallowed from west propaganda. The highest US and NATO can do is the usual sanctions and probably sneak weapons into Ukraine for rebel Ukraine soldiers. Mind you, the theater of the war is Ukraine.
Should Putin drop one of his thousands nuclear bomb on Ukraine, all these your useless grammar will not bring back the lives that may be lost. By the way when US dropped it on Japan some years ago, the world moved on as if nothing had happened despite the thousands of Japanese lives lost.
Russia is not Syria or Iraq.

- Why si it that out of the 23 terrorist that did the 9/11, 21 were Saudi Citizens but Saudi Arabia was never attacked?
- Non of them were from Iraq but it was Iraq that was invaded and destroyed?
- Why were the iron Rods taken out of the collapsed ground Zero buildings quickly SOLD OUT to be melted to a East European Nation on the condition that they melt it immediately, thereby preventing Investigators form analysing the type of explosive material used in the explosion and to allow them trace its origin?
- why were the family members of Osama B Laden who were resident in the USA, as at the day of the 9/11, allowed to travel out of the USA, despite the prevailing "closed air space" (No Fly order) of the President on that day?
- Who benefits from the destruction of Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and possible Syria?
- Why was Ghadafi killed, despite the fact that he had surrendered all his weapons, paid for an accident he knew nothing about (Lockerbie) and his country thrown into chaos? (Every African MUST ask and find answer to this question)
- Why was the partitioning of Iraq a priority for America, after the invasion? Why are they also trying to partiton Syria, righ tnow?

And finally, if you can, please download and read "Official Documents" like
- "Yinon Plan"
- The Great Game
- A Clean Break:A New Strategy for securing the Realm

All these can be read freely on the Internet. They are official documents, mostly, not "Russian books" grin grin

Okay now... When Russia annexed Crimea, what was done by the international community? Nothing!
Russia clearly overstepped their boundaries this time around. Even the US isn't directly involved in the war, except for sanctions.

What you don't realize is that Countries like North Korea, Iran and China are busy observing the response from the international community and they would likely do the same in the near future if nothing is done to stop such.

Let Russia continue with their assault on Ukraine and let's see how many more Russian soldiers have to die before they "capture" Kiev.

If you lot are supporting WW3, be my guest, but Ukraine never did anything to warrant such aggression from Russia.
why are you so sentimental on this issue? your love for usa? no qualms about that, still don't allow sentiment becloud your reasoning and judgement.

why were the international community when usa was busy invading and occupying other nations? Israeli to Palestine? many others like that. Libya and entire Arab spring is currently a shamble.

you are not looking at the interest Russia is trying to protect in all this. I'm not in support but if this is the only way Russia will put the west away from its doorstep then nothing can be done here.

usa remains the devil but the fool remains zelensky for turning his home ground to testing ground. at the least he tasted the newly developed hypersonic missile first, the most powerful armable missile as of now (not a good one though and nothing be proud about it).

zelensky took his comedy too far this time, of what use is NATO to him? it isn't an economic bloc, we all know it is a military alliance. he wanted to chill with big boys but got his finger burnt in the process.

why seek alliance with your big bro foe?

It is a dog-eat-dog world! In international political, everyone lies. The Americans,Germans, Russians, French, Indians, Chinese...You name it, they all lie in order to obtain whatever they want; change narratives; sway opinions or simply to obtain public sympathy. Opinions are changed, influenced, obliterated through information, and that's why there's something called Information Warfare. The countries mentioned above all have propaganda information tools which billions of people consume daily. CNN, BBC, CGTN, Fox, RT, Aljazeera... all serve as propaganda tools. The often 'innocuous' FB, IG, Wechat, Weibo... can also serve as propaganda tools. The only people inept at information warfare are black Africans, and that's why we are always at the lowest step of the ladder of international politics. We are good at consuming whatever garbage the West, the Chinese,the Russians, the Indians and even the Arabs feed us. We munch on them hungrily then off we go to beer parlours, FB, Twitter, Wechat, WhatsApp...to discuss the latest gist in town. We pick sides, form teams and argue amongst ourselves endlessly. Ever wonder if the West, Russians,Chinese...argue amongst themselves about us as we do them? They don't give a rat arse about us. Frankly, why should they? If black Africans must survive this century, we need to build our own global news networks where our stories will be told the way we want them told.

Yet many Russian news channels have been blocked by Youtube.
