The big problem there is America and NATO.
They are the ones fuelling the war with lies, empty promises and propaganda in other to achieve their selfish interest.
All they want is to cripple Russia's Economy at the expense of innocent Ukrainians lives.
I pray that Ukraine wakes up soon.

Did you go to school ❓ how did you arrive at this highly ignorant conclusion.

Absolutely no facts no substance or even rational.

Just one question tell us just one or maybe two LIES given by the USA and NATO please , please.

And according to the scripture you believe in the World is just about 6000 years old, where is the 4.6 billion years coming from?
Let me correct something. Scripture never said the earth is 6000 years old. The earth is older than man. It has been kept hidden before it was opened up by the Spirit of God.

The post-fall man, may be 6000 years old. That's just it. Time starts having much importance after Eden.

1.US went nowhere near Libya. (Obama wanted to, but Congress threatened him with impeachment low key)

2.Russia also imposed its will on many European countries after WW2, with invasions (Hungary 1956, Czechia 1968, and threatened Poland in 1981, which led Jaruzelski to impose martial law to preemtively stop them), invaded Afghanistan in 1979, and also basically ran an empire called the USSR till 1991. And then there is Chechnya and Georgia.
I don't know why pro Putin Nigerians conveniently forget this part of the story.

Una don start with screaming “western propaganda”
Go to YouTube and watch live videos of Russian citizens coming out in thousands to protest the invasion and also being arrested, the same thing you all said was a propaganda.
Top leaders in Russia are against it, abi didn’t you watch the live Russian news where the Permanent secretary was trying to tell Putin to use a less violent way to talk to Ukraine and then Putin asked to say what he said clearly and suddenly the man started shivering and stammering. These people are scared of him.

Even Putin doesn’t trust his leaders anymore, he’s always staying far away from them during meetings because he knows their stand and he doesn’t trust anyone of them to not become a spy for Ukraine. See distance na.

I don't blame Russia. You have to do what you have to do to protect your own interest.
The sanctions won't work, if Iran and north Korea can do far better than other countries then Russia will do will. They have over 650 billions in reserve and more gold for them.

USA did worse. They invaded Iraq claiming that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Bombing it repeatedly over 40 days, toppling it's govt, same for Libya, Afghanistan. Yet they're demonizing Russia and using sanctions against Putin.

Libya's destruction is what's causing insecurities in Nigeria and other African countries since all these years. The Western world is hypocrisy personified cool

I hope you have some level of education and therefore comprehension.

Have you heard of the Arab Spring And the subsequent general people's popular uprising that took place under the murderous despotic Gaddafi regime.

The daylight genocide and bloody murderous killings of civilian in Libya by paid mercenaries and the Gaddafi army. The French were the first to stop a Libyan army convoy at the gates of Benghazi. Averting a bloodbath to leashed on the Libyan people.

Look at 95% of all the arms and weaponry used during that conflict in Libya that ended with Libyans killing Gaddafi like a dog. They were all from Russia and eastern Europe.

Saddam invaded Kuwait another despotic ruler that gassed his own people the Kurds in their thousands. He had chemical weapons that he wisely got rid of before the conflict. But it was too late the a collective of forces not just the USA took him out deservedly so.

What's happening in Iraq is sectarian violence supported by Iran and Saudi Arabia, with Kurds look.

Afghanistan was the staging post for Al Qaeda and various other Islamic jihadists groups. It was from here 9/11 was initiated and carried out bloody murderous mayhem on the USA.

What is causing insecurity is a failure of governance across the West African sub region.

Deranged and misguided blood thirsty Islamic jihadists in DELUSIONAL obsession seek to impose their ideology across Africa.

They have filled the vacuum .

Putin is a dishonourable , deranged and deluded, telling bare faced Lies, despotic ruler. He swore he would never invade Ukraine on international media that his army was doing training exercises. He has zero integrity. You cannot believe a word he says.

Dictatorship are ruled not by the consent of the people ( democracy). But by coercion , repression and deceit, lies and murderous retribution to any who dissent even peacefully.

Putin will destabilise Africa by supporting military coups even instigating them.

Mali has ejected the French who saved the country from being totally run over by Jihadists. The Mali armed forces are inept and incapable of dealing with deranged lslamic Jihadists running wild in their country.

They have called in the Russians to prop up their unpopular regime taking power by force. That's a huge mistake that the whole of West Africa will pay a heavy price for.

I give Mali just three month maybe less, and it will be over run and become the new staging post for all manner of Jihadists to wreck mayhem across our sub region.

Nigeria is not exonerated lack of strategic planning and vision from a impotent and parochial leadership will see our situation get worse.

Bandit terrorists in association with multiple jihadists groups have literally taken over large portions of North of the country.

Get educated ,get informed and dont be fooled with your ignorance.

I think if we all notice why Putin, we won't point hands at him and blame him for the War.

Putin was only trying to protect his country and doesn't want the closeness of USA military base to his country.

To me I feel Ukraine deserve what they get, for being a puppet in the hands of NATO, and USA.

USA made it look like Putin is the bad guy( which he isn't) he is just like a mother hen trying to protect her chick. USA will always be the bad guys and they stepped on the wrong toes.

Please guys try and follow up the news on your own, make research and you'll get to see clarity, dont point fingers at a thing because the world want you to point fingers at them.

Don't blame the Russians for saying this.

Russia's security is based on keeping its neighbors in line. Russia has a declining population and a very large border. They have no choice.(History also justifies their position)

The problem is the same countries also don't want to be Russia's subordinates.( Some of them were part of the Russian empire, and they don't want to go back)

The issue is, how do we balance both needs?

Simple.
Your security lies in your 'friendliness'.
Be friendly with your neighbors and they will secure your borders.
That is simple wisdom lost on Putin.

The day robbers come to your neighborhood, the distress call will only ring out when they near the dwelling of the good man on the street.

There is nothing Putin could have done to erase the sins of Stalin and the years of Soviet oppression in Ukraine and its other satellite states but all these two decades there is a lot he could have done to repair, restore, placate and cozy up to them and they will not ever consider joining the 'west'.

When the iron curtain fell, West Germany made it a serious point of note for both citizens and government that no one from the former East Germany will be discriminated against or persecuted for wrongs done during the Soviet era, even though there were horrific crimes committed by the East German state. Today you cannot even tell the difference between a west german and an east german. There lies security.

All Putin has been after, his dream of twenty odd years is subjugation, a recast of the defunct Union where Russia subjugates all other ethnicities and territories. Who will accept that. Will any Nigerian President launch an attack on Niger to colonise her because there are ethnic fulanis there or attack Benin Republic because we do not like the French and there are ethnic yorubas there...

No. Deep security lies in friendship and solidarity.
Putin has no fears of insecurity. He rather has a disease of conquest, period.

Maccabees happened before Matthew 24. If the abomination of desolation happened in the era of the Maccabees centuries before Jesus was born, why did Jesus still mention people should look out for what happened centuries before he was born as a sign of the end time? undecided

Doesn’t make sense.

The abomination that causes desolation is yet to happen.
the one prophesied by daniel happened 168/167B.C during seluicidal empire under d reign of antiochus IV(epiphanes) he erected d statue of greek god called zeus in d holy place and sacrificed a pig there which led to d maccabean revolt, the one said by jesus happened in 70 A.D during d roman empire under Titus when d temple was destroyed and remember bible said that dat generation then will not pass until dat prophecy fulfill and it happened because many of jesus disciples were alive when d prophecy was fulfilled.

the way you guys blame the consequences of an action instead of the action is legendary.

how many country leaders went to Russia directly, a sign of respect nonetheless to ask for Russia to choose diplomacy, what did Putin do in the end. Invade a sovereign state.
But you clearly ignore all that so you can blame America.

If you are well fed with assorted food and drinks at home, you wont have a need going outside crying for food. Russia should have offered her neighboring countries mouth watering offers and incentives that won't allow them look outside. But instead, they are threatening them with military might.
