The real issues that this Russian military operations has brought to the fore is the that the West has too much control over global trade, media and finance. As the leader of any country, I would worried about the ability of the West to pull levers and switch plugs that will make life difficult for you and your people when you disagree with them. And their immoral use of their control of the media to slander opponents into submission.
We need to start thinking about this dependency issues and start building independent systems or alternative systems like China has largely done.
Exactly. Many are excited about the sanctions on Russia and fail to realise how our lives have become so dependent on western innovations that makes us very vulnerable such that they can bend us by simply "unplugging and disconnecting". Like you, I have been concerned about how much power the west have amassed and the possibility of abusing it in future if we don't agree to even unreasonable demands. I believe that after this crises, many of these things will be aggressively addressed especially by Russia and many other countries. I am beginning to see China's wisdom in replicating all these technologies instead of depending on the west.

I'm not surprised at all. It seems the comedian has finally realized this is not comedy or a joke

I only pity the innocent Ukrainian citizens

Ukraine is the loser in all this their buildings destroyed whereas Russia is untouched

The west should have respected their boundaries and be contented with the power they wield all over the world. No need to overshadow eastern power bloc

Exactly. Some of this so called Christians/Muslims or religious Africans always ready to azzlick the west despite all the atrocities the west commited in this continent

This religious fanaticics don't know that absolute power is dangerous.

I will always hope USA/west hold more power than Russia/China but I won't hope for USA to have absolute power

If not one day we will wake up and see USA dealing with African nations simply because they refused to legalise gay marriage or maybe USA ban polygamy or some other bs

We rely too much on the west

cheesy I swear, that is where they will start with us in future. By the time we continue to refuse their views on marriage, gender and sexuality, they will just disconnect us from swift, mastercard, Google map and may be the internet cheesy that is when we will realise that these guys literally have us by the balls. Some of these sanctions on Russia has made me realise how screwed we are.

I really can't fathom what's in this Ukrainian president's head.

Does he even realize he can't defeat Russia neither would any country risk engaging Russia directly thereby dragging everyone into another world war?
so he should surrender his country to another an pledge loyalty to them irrespective of the 80% of people who voted for him to lead them?

This was exactly what I told my friend before this war started!

Ukraine should have ignored the West with their fake and false promises and obeyed Russia from the beginning. If they had done that, this ungodly war would have been averted!!!

Now see, houses have been destroyed, investments lost, countless people have turned into refugees including Nigerians who thought they had escaped.

I still hope the war ends really soon.
what should you have done in this instance if you were the President of Ukraine?

There are things that should not be subjected to politicization. Things like trade, finance, and media.
This happening now is a blessing and an eye opener for the rest of the world.
The trade imbalances, technological colonisation, financial dependencies etc needs to be addressed.

How far is really to far?
Re: Zelensky: I Lost Interest In NATO, I Realized They're Afraid To Confront Russia by WoundedLamb: 4:25pm On Mar 08, 2022
For two reasons, NATO will not confront Russia. First, Ukraine is not a NATO member. Second (the main reason) Russia is like a mad man with a gun.

If there's anything we've learned from this invasion, it is the fact that the Russian army is not a match for that of the United States. If the US fought back directly, they would be in a war with Russia. If Putin thought he couldn’t win that war with conventional arms alone (he’s having a hard enough time against just the Ukrainian army), he might very well escalate to nuclear war. Putin has no moral authority to defend. He doesn't mind nuking the world. His idea of "if I go down, the world must go down with me" is preposterous. Seeing the kind of person we're dealing with here, the onus is on the US/NATO to make sure it doesn't come to that. So yes, NATO is afraid of Putin, not because he is superior but because he is mad and must be approached carefully.

NATO or whatever never had any issue with Russia in the first place...why are you people dragging NATO into the conflict in the first place cos NATO didn't accept Ukraine and it was Russia which annexed Crimea and also recognized luansk that is prompting Ukraine to seek solace in the hands of NATO in the first place. Is it too difficult for you to see the oppression in this whole thing?

This guy wouldn't have surrendered even if the west didn't intervene or do you expect him to just resign or give up the territory, the good thing is that his people are ready to die instead of bowing to Russia
