Likewise you never see Russia occupying or destabilizing other countries to steal their resources, no slave trade, so your help comes with a price ok, think before you spew

Can this people just shut up, whys the media not clamouring for Ukraine people to not join NATO and end the killings one and for all
But those guys kept sending reinforcement ..meaning encouraging the war and further loss of lives...

You as an adult, there's little or nothing your parents can do in terms of controlling you.

Ukraine is an independent nation with full rights to associate with other countries of its choice.

You believe western propaganda

It's not propaganda but reality, take it if you like and leave it if you don't

How old are you if i may ask ? Do me a favor and tell the US to allow Russia stationed it's missiles in Cuba or Mexico. Come back here and quote me if US says yes. Understand politics before making comments, leave the real thinkers to do the judgements ok

NATO has enough defensive systems to defend all it's alliances..

NATO is too powerful to involve in Russia invasion of Ukraine, because it will likely lead to WW3... Russia in the other hand is just a stupid country with a foolish leader.... Invading an independent country is violating int'l law. And you might not understand the weight and meaning to sanctions. Russia will it want the world to see them as being weak. But the sanctions is taking a good till on them.

SANCTION !

SANCTION !

The western nations will not allow us hear words.

They are using sanctions to fight the Russian psychologically.

Russian should just ignore them.

African countries that the western world sideline both economically and investment wise are their people not still living?

COUNTRIES SHOULD DEVELOP A MECHNISM FOR SELF SUFFICIENCY.

Forget about the west and their propaganda antics.

Timoleon:
Words won’t win the war. This very much I know. At the very end of it all Europe will inherit a third world county called Ukraine that NATO/USA and Russia would re-agree again cannot join NATO and cannot host NATO bases (at least officially). They will also inherit a huge humanitarian/refugee crisis as Ukrainians move into other eu countries in hopes to rebuild their lives. EU/NATO/USA reputation as defenders of the weak and the free world would have been grossly exposed as a selfish manipulative ploy to pursue the national interests of a few at the expense of others having pushed Ukraine into a war that they (Ukraine) have everything to lose.
Russia on their part would have lost a lot of friends in Europe (not that they had many before). Economically, Russia would suffer a lot at least for a while (the sanctions would eventually be lifted as the war won’t last forever and Russia has quite a number of important commodities that the world and especially EU depends on). Russians will further alienate themselves from other EU countries after observing the manner in which they were eager to take control of their investments in those countries. Some of Russia’s neighbors who were fraternizing with NATO will try to rekindle a favorable disposition towards Russia having witnessed Ukraine’s sufferings and how it was forsaken by those that should have backed them.

We do not really know Putin’s timeline towards the war in Ukraine but certainly, most didn’t expect a long drawn out war. If indeed this was a “military exercise “ as Putin claims, it has failed in that aspect. Because if this were to escalate, on how many fronts can he fight if it’s taking so long to get a hold of his next door neighbor Ukraine?

I guess one calculation that has held though is the fact that NATO/USA recognizes Russia as a nuclear power and as such wouldn’t risk mutual destruction by intervening directly.
We await chinas action on Taiwan though, then perhaps North Korea might be tempted to act on South Korea.

I stop read at " having push Ukraine into war" Maybe you don't know Russia "invaded" Ukraine not the other way around. Get your facts right

Kingosytex:
No, the zombies say that Putin is infallible. All these chaos were completely unnecessary and uncalled for.

Why did he have to invade Ukraine? Is Ukraine no longer a sovereign state? What stopped him from giving Ukrainians a better deal from what NATO was offering?

A very beautiful questions!
Because,even the so called totalitarian States of Russia he is holding,there are more Corruption,more evil being perpetrated,no better life than brutality and it's through this false narratives that Mr Putin's hagemony is built- lies,lies and lies.
Even Cuba that was anti-west have suddey discovered that the Castro then was just a bunch of guerrillas,not real!
The life of the West and Putin's enclaves are far apart!

No country will stand against the west over Putin's foolishness..

why is NK still standi g. And the west are afraid of them

ken6488:
Russia must win this war at all costs

Or else the west became too powerful

They win the war in Ukraine and then what?
With their battered economy, can they sustain the political cost?
Remember, USA achieved there mission is Iraq (regime change) but the political cost bugged them down until this day?
Ask yourself does Russia have financial strength to withstand such political cost?

Moreover, so far the war/invasion have only succeeded in in bringing western nations together and also strengthening there might/power, which also, China fears too.

The latest, as of yesterday Russian is begging India to come buy oil even at a discounted rate with no letter of credit, yet India no wan take that risk. Why? because even as much as India is closer to Russian than western nations, it doesn't want to take the risk of upsetting western nations else, them go just cripple there medical industry (life of India) and there dream of becoming the next world's supply chain after China go only exist as a dream and not reality.

Chukwumajr:
oga putin have lost more than 10k full combat soilders in just 2 weeks of senseless war, while american lost only 1,921 service men in 20 years war with afgans, russian make i hear say una call una self world power again.

Hope you know most of the troops on ground are actually rebels from eastern Ukraine

let help some dindinrin out, the clever ones can relate

If PUTIN lose to the west, then y’all should be ready for a another serious executive order pandemic and scandemic cos it’s all from the west, the west will be very too powerful that even china and others will think twice.

Africa is just useless, the only reason I’m still hopeful about Africa, is the Bible says there will be time, black race will become the greatest in the world. Pls anyone can correct me if I’m wrong. I just hope this is the time Africa can start building the ambition, cos it’s not a race of 50yrs I swear, the west have far gone behind us. Africa learn from the Koreans, why would china support Russians, think, think about it, it can only happen if the Russians wins not Putin wins the war.

If you only you understand tho

Can't find where the Bible says "black race will become the greatest in the world "

thundafire:
simple bro offer Ukraine a better deal and see because the west wouldn't attack Russia just like that and Putin calculation of expecting the YS to enter the fight failed because the whole Europe will be down

But NATO offer Ukraine a great deal. Why didn't they follow through? Why didn't they accept Ukraine as a member before the war?

ken6488:

Blah, blah, blah. He did it in 2014. Offered Ukraine the 15billion they needed on better terms than the EU. Once yanushenko accepted the protests started and
He was evicted in a bloody coup and an illegitimate govt came into power (which the West of course recognised).

You guys should go and do some independent research and stop spewing Western rhetoric

Yorubas are known for their intellect. Pls reconsider ur moniker

Yes you are right , because they are gaining from the war...
1. Money donated to by arms for Ukraine , is spent on USA and British firm , the arms purchase so far, 7 from usa company and 3 from British companies, billions of $

2. after the first day of attack to Ukraine , alot of Europeans countries increasing their defense spending to billion of dollars, where do you think they will spend those money , European union will not by arms from china or Russia but usa and British firms

3. Usa was to control gas supply to European you , they want to edge Russia out, but most European countries want to buy from Russia because is more cheaper than the usa

4. The usa and uk is a drowning empire , look after this war most counties will not regard the west.Even UAE and S.arabia refuse to pick USA Calls ,

chronique:
Lol. One thing I have found out during this short war is that while some European countries have been trying to apply diplomatic solutions to this conflict, UK and US have been largely stoking the fire and doing and saying everything to ignite and complicate the whole thing. I'm beginning to think they purposely stoked the fire of this conflict, to get at Russia and Putin especially. There's something we probably don't know yet but would eventually come out someday.

Let’s wait and see.
The sanction is too much and I bet it will affect Russians big time.
But if you do your research,Russia hasn’t economy hasn’t grow over 10% in the last decade simply because they’ve been pursuing self stability…
They have their reserve in Gold not even rumble.
Russia know the day will come when the west will turn its back on her.
I guess they’re prepared,but you can’t be sure if the preparations will meet up to the current sanctions both left ,right and center.
I was planning a trip to Moscow last December , I checked booking.com,I saw over 2000 and the hotels were very cheap and beautiful,but sadly couldn’t make it. I checked again few days ago and there’s no hotel in Moscow on booking.com… I decided to go through Turkish air,sadly Turkish air sef no Dey go Moscow again.
If China stand strongly by Russia,The great country will survive.
Also,we need someone to checkmate USA excesses,if great Russia is gone .then USA can come for anyone without any fear tomorrow.
I’m not supporting Russia against Ukraine,I’m supporting them against America,sadly it might mean the same in this case.

Also the exchange rate has minimal effect currently… they’re not selling Forex to anyone…
The meaning now is that,they will exchange with everyone in gold and not rumble. (But how much gold can be available for the business conglomerates)
They have over a trillion dollar worth of gold though…
So the market back home will be stable a bit.
But there will be a little inflation…

Russia’s gold holdings have not sanction-proofed its economy. Gold sales will not enable the Central Bank of Russia to prop up the value of the ruble, for instance, since the central bank is blocked from foreign exchange trading. Gold sales will not reconnect sanctioned Russian banks to global financial networks. But if the Russian economy is further isolated by additional measures, Putin could, like Maduro, sell gold for cash. Proceeds could be used to cover vital import purchases or to compensate sanctioned Russian oligarchs for their losses, reducing domestic resistance to his war effort.

No self-respecting central bank wants to resort to bullion sales in unregulated markets. But, given that the Central Bank of Russia has found itself between a rock and a hard place, dipping into its gold hoard may become its best option down the road. The yellow metal still has some shine to it, after all.

Mystic969:
Putin didn't miscalculate anything... he's only defending his country against the Western plan for Russian. The west has always seen Russian as a threat seen the Soviet era...so they are looking for a way to subjugate Russian.

THey think we are fools na.

At the end of the war, Russia will no longer agree with the west, watch just like eu and Co Russia and China has started the rise of the east
