Do they study?
Too many Lazy Folks out there.
Yet you see them arguing and challenging one's intellect.
Put up something about TRIBE and see them rain havoc.

Asking for a source and being the first to comment was really embarrassing. You may be surprised he is a lecturer. Most of them are stack dumb.

Many never knew, Ukraine is just a trap for Putin.

Comradewhy:
And how did you come up with this?
Your source?
Edit: thanks to those who addressed me in a cultured manner,I got that.

Why should I be ashamed of asking about something I have no idea on?
People on here can be very funny,this is a public forum and I don't think asking questions is wrong.
I rather do than act like I know about it.

You failed your Geography in your Waec

So why are they afraid of Ukraine joining NATO, when the chief NATO country is their neighbour?

Putin is a crazed dictator, this is what every sensible person has been saying. Annexing Ukraine is more of a pleasure exercise for Putin and the signature of a high level dictator. Whatever he said to start the invasion was just rubbish to justify his actions.

You lot are mindless,I keep on learning on a daily basis and I will never act as if I know something when I don't.

When I read the comments of some children who knows nothing about life not to talk of war here on nairaland, I laff in swahili...


NATO IS AVOIDING WAR WITH RUSSIA FOR YOUR SAKE.
NATO's decision to not close the sky over Ukraine is correct. A shooting war between Russia and NATO should be avoided as much as possible and the way the US has been evading that confrontation is simply the right thing to do.If you think it is cowardice, it is because you don't know and this post will brief you.
Let me set it out in a very brief way.
There are three types of wars:
1. Conventional war - which is fought according to the rules of war: Don't kill civilians and children, don't hit civilian infrastructure, don't shoot surrendering enemy soldiers and PoWs, etc.
2. Total war - which Russia seems to be fighting in Ukraine right now and which it fought against Chechnya in Grozny. In a total war, you just kill everybody you see and destroy everything on your way.
3. Nuclear war.
On a normal day, Russia will fall quickly of NATO engages it in a conventional or a total war and Putin has admitted that much in a speech recently. There is no contest in that. NATO's firepower is extensive and its generals are top level.
However, the mismatch will force Russia to quickly resort to 'final-solution' tactics while it can - it will launch its arsenal of nuclear weapons. Lets be quickly reminded that since the 1970s, both the West and Russia have thousands of nuclear tipped missiles already programmed to hit targets in all major cities on each other's soil. With just the press of a button, those missiles will fly out and head for their targets.
But there are difficulties. Both sides have watchmen that are not sleeping. Every inch of Russian territory is under a 24/7 scan for missile launch by the West, using flare and heat detection satellites. Russia has the same system.
The moment a rocket motor ignites (most missiles are powered by rocket motors. Cruise missiles use air-breathing jet engines - pretty much the same used by aeroplanes, but they could be ramjets or jets with afterburners. Cruise missiles are usually called precision guided weapons), they know in the West. These missile scouts will start to track the missile or missiles and note their number, velocity and heading. They have about 10 minutes to confirm and reconfirm that missiles are being launched against the West. In this case they will mostly be ICBMs (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles). Well, despite the heavy name, they are actually simple orbital rockets that can get into orbit and then re-enter the earth at the appropriate location - above their targets. At this point, they will release their thermonuclear warheads or bombs (all modern nuclear bombs carry thermonuclear warheads, that is, warheads that uses a small hydrogen bomb to initiate a chain reaction in its main fission bomb of Plutonium or Uranium). These warheads are shaped like cones and they are about 1.2m in height with a base diameter of about 800mm. The real active ingredient, Uranium or Plutonium inside the conical device is not bigger than a football but they are packed with the horrendous power of creation itself, the power of the nucleus of an atom called the Strong Force.
Two things will then happen in line with strictly established procedures it call it Battle Order.
Once a missile attack is detected, the US will immediately move it's president, his family, Pentagon chiefs and a few citizens into a bunker that is about 2 kilometers below the ground and under a mountain. It is suspended upon springs so it can withstand tectonic forces from a nuclear blast on the surface. The bunker contains provisions for two years to sustain the occupants. (I have seen the image somewhere about 25 years ago in maybe Times Magazine). Reporters taken there were blindfolded and flown for hours so they will not have a clear sense of direction. The location is totally secret but it is suspected that it is Nevada. It was not dug out directly but a lateral tunnel was created several miles away to this subterranean site.
1. The West will launch countermeasures at these warheads. (Usually, they will be 13 to 17 on each ICBM and at this stage, they are in their terminal altitude in space). This is the threat level the American THAAD anti-missile system is designed to contain. It will fly into space and try to steer kill vehicles into those warheads and of course, the success rate will understandably only be partial. Some will end up successfully re-entering the earth and dive (under zero power) for their targets. At this point, the Patriot system will come into action and try to swat the warheads. The Patriot complex deals with missiles within the atmosphere.
2. Simultaneously NATO will give orders for its own missile launches and within minutes, you will see missiles rise from silos and from submarines heading East to attack preset targets. B-52s ('Stratofortress'), B1, ('Spirit') and B2 ('Bones') -all long range bombers will take off from the US, Germany and probably Japan armed with hydrogen and Plutonium bombs and head for Russia. There are also about 1,500 nuclear weapons on each side that are currently in the field, mingled with conventional weapons but known to commanders. Those are probably the most dangerous of all these arsenal of nuclear weapons because they are already and permanently dispersed in the field. All - everything will be launched within just about 30 minutes in this make or break final combat.
Everything described above from the moment one side launches its nuclear weapons will not take more than 45 to 60 minutes and it is all over. If the attack takes place at night, right here in Nigeria, if you look northwest towards Europe or east northwest towards the United States, or northeast towards Russia, you will actually see a dull glow in your night sky though you won't hear the thunder of the explosions.
The next three days or even a week will be normal although wind patterns may have become suspect. Thereafter, you will observe that the sky is getting darker and midday seems like dusk. That is the cloud of a global thermonuclear warfare.
The sun will be screened out for months and plants will die off. This will lead to global famine, first step. Of course, global trade is already gone and the world has reverted to primitive levels. The Internet is no more and telephone services have become epileptic.
Next will come the global outbreak of all forms of cancers from radiation carried around the world by the cloud earlier described. Death will become so much more desirable than life that those alive will curse their lot.
There will be survivors of course: those who have been hidden away in military grade silos and have ample supplies to carry them for about two years.
Those who just manage to go through about three years of life as foragers and scavengers and somehow have not been killed by skin cancer, blood cancer and other forms of metastasis. They are the ones that will populate the new world and begin to try to establish a new civilization.
Now you have an idea why NATO keeps avoiding fighting with Russia. It is simply to keep YOU alive.

Where you see this your map from?? ...Russia isn't close to US atall.

I think this map is distorted. It looks as if the US is in the Eastern Hemisphere, and Russia is in the Western Hemisphere. Although,the mirror is a distortion of reality .What thinkers or philosophers call the dialectic. I think the OP should reverse the appearance for pedagogical reasons- teaching purposes.

Anyone with even the least exposure or slightest knowledge of either international politics, geography or history knows that 1. America bought Alaska
2. That's just Alaska (it's still USA but not USA in all its glory, not USA as you know it) (it's more like mainland China and it's sub China's elsewhere so Usa is mainland USA and alaska is like an over sea protectorate on the same content divided/separated by Canada)

tell me more, good to know

Why is it that anything a black mans brain can't processs it attributed to god...

Later they will type

Comradewhy:

BS a source was what I asked for.

google it, you dumbfuxk

essandor:
but this is not how it is in geography map

If you look at the flat Atlas maps, just mentally wrap it around in your mind like the roundness of the globe and you will see.
Its the same way the islands of Japan, Australia and co are so close to Hawaii (US territory) Yet seem so far apart on flat maps. That's why Japan was so close enough to fly over to Pearl Harbor seemingly undetected in WW 11 and bomb Hawaii.

Comradewhy:

Really,so I have to know everything about the world map?
You lot are mindless,I keep on learning on a daily basis and I will never act as if I know something when I don't.

Mr Comrade you better calm down and stop embarrassing yourself here.

The reason people are bashing you left and right is because the info you asked for source on was very elementary.

It's like if you Comrade tells someone "Germany is in Europe, or Buhari is the President of Nigeria" and the person then asked you what's your source. How would you feel? That's exactly how many people felt when they saw your initial comment.

Yes we learn every day, but some things are better left unsaid.

MALIGNANTGuest:

Is that how to ask Question?
How can someone interested in getting answers, be the one using polar repulsive words & command language?
You should use the right words.
People are studying everyday for people like you to be educated. You have to encourage them with words and not to command them..

Are you GOV. WIKE?

No dey stress yourself. You should know the slowpoke by now. I'm even surprised to find him here. He frequents APC/PDP/BMC/Buharist threads. Do not expect any intellectual argument from him.

Comradewhy:

Those attacking you for asking questions on what you know not are baboons and monkeys! 95% of them don't even know it .

And some idiots where saying usa wants Ukraine to join nato so that they can park thier jets at Ukraine..like i said Putin has no single reason to kill inocent people in ukraine..muslins fools who are supporting this attack and comparing it to that of Afghan etc..tell ur stupid islamic brothers to stop killing women for driving cars, going to work or sch, etc and u america will leave u alone..idiots

Ammishaddai:
[s][/s] Yeah whatever mòron

Just provide a source bro, I've neither lived in US or Russia and have never invested in studying their histories. Drop a source

Comradewhy:

Same to you

It's nice I asked and now I know about it.

This question that you ask political science professor can even answers it.it is the most salient question about Ukraine -russia-Nato

I guess Russia too is immune to atomic bomb!

You guys stop all these gragra about Putin and atomic bomb, if he throws one nuclear bomb ,five will land on his soil from collision of NATO.
Stop bullishit pls

There is something called mutually assured destruction. It's like getting into a fight with an Agbero. Even if you win, na you lose. First, your fine face go spoil, your white shirt go stain etc.
Russia don't care about civilian casualties, but the US do. Even one US civilian casualty is one too many, but Russia don't care if millions of Russians die in the conflict.

Seriously that's just the plain truth,first I never knew about this and I wouldn't be ashamed to admit that.
Secondly not knowing this doesn't determine my level of intelligence,they don't expect me to know everything about the world map.
I keep learning on a daily basis so why should i be ashamed of asking questions.
Thanks
