Russia massive military machinery is powered by its economy which in turn is maintained by high octanic commerce with the rest of the world especially Europe and US, if those two decide to pull the carpet under Russia can it's military assets and soldiers be sustained and maintained by trade with Togo??..

I’m terribly sorry, but this quote is so littered with opinion not supported by fact. And it is wrong. The only thing interesting in your write up is your choice of words...

To sanction a country you're sanctioning yourself too. Russia pulling the carper under Europe power & gas trade? Where will Europe get their power from? USA? Impossible! How will it get to Europe? It cost twice as much and economically impossible. Nigeria? We've then literally declared War against Russia!

But here is my question. Please patiently explain. If Ukraine becomes a part of Russia won’t the country next to it still be NATO - meaning NATO will still be at Russia’s doorstep!

Russia NEVER had black slaves nor did Russia create a market to trade black people.

Russia NEVER participated in the Berlin conference to share Africa like some piece of goat meat.

Russia NEVER colonised, underdeveloped and looted Africa's resources.

Russia NEVER enabled a safety net for African leaders to hide stolen funds, use these stolen funds to develop itself and then grant the same funds back to Africa as loans.

Russia never invaded and destabilized any African country

Those who did the aforementioned are the ones pushing the narrative that "Russia" has become the Boogeyman... Those who colonized and for about 100 years refused to share their technology with Africa want Africa to like those they like and hate those they hate.
Nah! Never again!

If Russia is the Boogeyman, then the west the devil himself �

These countries you mentioned had national threatening problems within themselves before U S led NATO intervened which obviously a lot of people didn't like, what problems did Ukraine have within themselves that putin is invading now? Your hatred for the West is making you not be fair in your judgement and compare different situations with Ukraine. And remember, it's people that are dying not animals
Invitationn:

You're being hypocritical because of the prejudices you have against Russia.
Look at it this way.
The US has invaded at least a dozen sovereign nations and the world didn't even blink!
Why is it that we trusted and believed that the US would leave those countries after unjustifiably invading them?
Why was there no " The US would go on to take over smaller countries or encourage other powers to take over small countries if they're allowed to invade Iraq, Afghanistan,Libya et al" sentiments like we have now against Russia?

But can’t you see? Ukraine will never qualify to join NATO. So it’ll serve as a buffer between NATO and Russia. Meanwhile Russia has big influence there and will eventually be able to instal a puppet ruler. But if Ukraine becomes just Russia, then Russia will have NATO right at their border - the very thing they’re trying to avoid!

Putin has effectively resurrected the Cold War with the attack on Ukraine.

Countries will seek to further develop their armies. A new arms race will begin... only difference now is that China is in the mix...

China is going to be the beautiful bride as the US & Russia would want the Chinese on their side...

China is already on Russia's side....

Is it America or Europe that is fighting war?? Who needs who most ?

Russia beginning to measure up to western propaganda
West is deceiving itself thinking they can bring putin to his knees
If they can't bring ordinary iran to her knees is it the already technologically advanced Russia they can bring to her knees. Although it's going to be tough for them no doubt but Russia will definitely beat their sanctions.
Iran was unprecedentedly cut off from the very potent SWIFT, and couldn't even carryout normal international day to day bank transaction. Yet they survived and came out of it stronger particularly in the military aspect. Now they have largest messiles arsenal in the middle-east. Look at North Korea too. After sanctions they went all the way acquired nuclear weapons and long range messiles like never before. They will simply tell themselves that they have nothing to lose and they will just go all the way.
If there is one thing sanction does to a country and it's people is that it compels them to look inward making them discover and take advantage of lots and lots of hidden potential.
Japan did it after the 2nd world war and came out better and stronger in all aspect.

Why are you judging the strength of a country by its military might.. If you are given two choices of going to Iran , UAE, Saudi, Kuwait and Qatar to make a living. You can never choose going to Iran. Likewise between USA and Russia.. And you know the obvious reasons why you will still choose USA over Russia. I don’t need to start stating that for you

Tell me the "national threatening" problem in Iraq, Libya, Syria or Afghanistan that gave the US the right to invade them under international law.
Y'all US as slickers find all sort of ridiculous reasons to justify the invasion of sovereign states.
Who made 'national threatening problem' the basis for the invasion of another country?
Where is it in international law?
And, going by your logic, the war in Donbass satisfies your "national threatening problem" and should be enough reason for Russia to intervene according to your logic, right?
You see how hypocritical you are?

And it's so primitive of you to think anyone who being objective about the double standard of the Westerners hates them.

Again you're yearning dust. Europe needs Russia gas more than how Russia needs their money. Also again, Sanctions works two ways. You're hurting the country you're sanctioning same way you're hurting your economy from what you get from them. Don't forget how sanctions works again. I don't have the luxury to explain everytime.

It will be Winter soon and Europe will need a lot of Gas.

Just pull out of Ukraine and everything will be back to normal but if you insist on continuing this war and God bless you you lose this war. You'll be denuclearized before you're reintegrated into the world. USA AND THE WEST long term plan.

If you win the war YOU LOSE
If you lose the war YOU LOSE
...denuclearized by who?

Na only Russia get Nuclear weapons? If there should be denuclearization, no stone should be left unturned!

Well you're wrong. They already have NATO at their boarders. NATO already has Estonia, Lativa right at RUSSIA boarders.

Does the land mass makes a difference?

One of the objectives of NATO is 'Defend' as ONE so they say.

Those NATO countries with small land mass get attacked, all NATO countries defend and fight as one.

I maintained, the objective of the War is NATO expansion. It has to stop!

If it's not soon, then howfar is winter? My point is during Winter, Europe will needs a lot of Gas that comes from Russia. The channel of trade between Russia and Europe still remains and it will be regardless of the War. Europe sanctioning Russia is like Sanctioning themselves twice.

Ukraine are on their own. I won't school you again, it is tiring.
