A few things here:

1. Russia doesn't have the right to tell any country whether they can join NATO or not.

2. Putin is showing that he is paranoid by threatening everyone just because they want to join NATO.

3. Are these smaller countries not arming themselves? Why wait for protection from NATO?

4. If Ukraine was busy arming itself all this while instead of waiting for NATO protection, it would have been able to put up a better fight

Is Igbo signatory to the UN charter?

is igbo a recognizable sovereign country?

like seriously I'm intrigued to know what you guys use to reason because I'm not so sure it's the brain

But that same UN said people are entitled to seek for self determination. That same UN. That same UN. It didnt say u must be signitary to it before u can seek for self determination.

Do countries fall from sky? They were created from war, self determination, etc. Even Nigeria was created as a result of British conquest of the geographical location.

So, I have schooled u bro. U actually thought u were talking to a mentally weak person. Come, I am ready to burn 5k airtime on this converation, let me school u to let u know that ur line of defence is weak. Self determination is not a crime in that same UN you mentioned grin

I want u to defend these points I mentioned, dont insult. U know, people without strong points always descend to insulting their opponent.
I just told u that in the global politics, there are super powers and super powers have allies and subjects.
Nigeria is a subject to the British empire. Britan is a super power. There are unwritten constittion that guide the world of global politcs among super powers. One of such unwritten laws is that an opponent super power should not site military expansion close to their opponent.

So, Russia and China are super powers and have opponents from the west super powers headed by the USA. On that list are USA, France, Britain and they have allies such as Japan, Canada, etc.
If Russia or China who are opponent of USA decides to station military presence in Mexico for instance, that is Russia looking for USA trouble and USA will act and break laws to defend her interest. Did u get it now?
U arent talking with a novice.

While self determination is allowed in UN, Nigeria protects her interest and refused the Igbos their desire for self determination. Some countries allowed self determination to be judged by public referedum, while some settled it via war. So, can u see?

Russia needs to calm down, before they make them self enemy of the world

By sheer numbers, most of the world are in support of, not condemning or/at least, understands the Russians perspective. The world most populous countries didn't vote against Russia in the UN (eg China, Pakistan, India, whole Middle East, Africa and South America), totalling at least seven billion people. It's mostly the US and its vassals that are against Russia.

Sadly, they control the media and can suppress other perspectives, especially the Russian one. For example RT (Russian today) TV station have been banned in all of the west and I can't hear their perspective. How can this is be freedom of speech the west proud itself with? When you prevent your opponents from speaking, then it means one fears the truth.

You are a very shallow minded individual I have since come to observe with not the slightest grasp of contextual issues and conversations! The North Atlantic part of NATO is a reflection of the ideological purpose of the establishment of the organization as a deterrence to communist threat from the East, do you know that as a counter measures to NATO, the Russians also assembled countries with collective ideologies like that and made THE WARSAW PACT/ TREATY!

Do not on the altar of religion sacrifice your common sense, please tell, if only one, a reason why and how “The West” which has become an overused phrase on here lately has influenced or created the situation in Europe as to warrant a justified Russian invasion! Don’t talk to me about the Cuban missile crisis and all that crap when the political and social realities are entirely different hence no grounds for an analogous comparison! I can tell you are most probably Northerner and Muslim as your disdain and hatred again for “The west” is only a subtle attempt at masking your sympathy with terrorist and the macabre killings their evil cause
For you to insult "SarkiYakin" before passing this info, mean you are empty and foolish with your knowledge.

As a super power, there would have been other better ways Russia could have gone about this, other than the invasion of Ukraine.

The Americans and NATO are wise...you crippled a country with sanctions and says you don't want direct confrontation with a nuclear power...what's that? This is more than declaration of war and Putin is still struggling with a comedian. NATO won't fight a war in Ukraine, they want it in Russia and they have already deployed 30% of their arsenal to conquer Ukraine without success. Their nuclear warhead will be detonated in Russia.
It mean that they're more powerful the the Russians. Let Russia do same to them.

SarkinYarki:
The solution to all this is to allow Russia join NATO but then the aim of NATO will be defeated

That's the point.

Nato was created to slaughter Russia, without Russia, there will be no point for Nato. The west fear and envies russia. Its a fat cow that must be slaughtered, to strengthen western hegemony. Russia is so huge, if you divide the whole Africa into two, russia is bigger than half of it. The whole 30 EU countries, USA, South Korea and Japan will fit inside Russia and there is still space left.

Now imagine all the resources buried underneath their vast territories. They can't just accept that it's not under their control. If common tiny Nigeria have all its natural resources and oil controlled by western powers, what more Russia? This war is bigger than most people think, and because they listen to only western side, they are misinformed and reach wrong judgement.

go and read what you wrote in the comment I replied to about how the US control NATO and the organisation does what the US says.

So now you have a little understanding of how the Organisation works, good for you

Lol. The US controls NATO. Is that an argument for debate? NATO is 70% to 80% US. That was why when Trump threatened to pull out of NATO, many NATO countries were scared.

And are you arguing that NATO doesn't do what the US says? Almost all the wars that Nato has been involved in was because the US said "let's go fight" (invasion of Afghanistan, Invasion of Libya, Bosnia war, Croatia war). That doesn't mean other NATO members have no say in NATO

The point I tried to made was that if the US agrees for Russia to join Nato today, Russia will join Nato. It may take years for the US to convince other NATO members of the need for Russia to join Nato, but at the end of the day, Russia will join Nato.

If the reverse is the case, that is most NATO countries want Russia to join Nato and the US says no, it will never work. That is what it means to control an organization.

That’s the same thing the USA is doing o. America will not allow Cuba to join forces with Russia because they share a boarder. The same thing America is scared of is the same thing Russia is equally scared of . embarassed Those countries are too close to Russia .

Have you never looked at a map? Cuba is an island surrounded by water so how does it share a border with America?

Ukrainians are now paying the price for Zelenskyy’s decision. Russia has been using conventional weapons in Ukraine but with NATO, it's going to be nuclear weapons and they have more than 6000 of it. I guess you haven't heard of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan

Is the price greater than the price Russians are paying? Their economy is in shatters. Their currency is now useless. Their stock exchange market has been closed for weeks (the longest in Russia history) grin. Not to talk of the casualties the Russians are suffering in Ukraine. I thought some of you said kyiv will fall to Russia in one week? grin grin grin



Lol. Do you know that NATO has more nuclear weapons than Russia? Some of you talk as if only Russia owns nuclear weapons. Lol. Let him use nuclear weapons if Russia will not be levelled to the ground.



And yes, I have heard of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and it was courtesy of the US, the only country to have used a nuclear weapon in war. Let Russia try it if it will not end in disaster for them. grin
