Exactly how US wanted it.

US wanted Russia to go into war with Ukraine so they could observe their military strengths and also weaken them with sanctions.
Well done US, the evil genius, all going according to plan

You lack knowledge and understanding

God knows the type of intelligence Putin received before deciding to invade a sovereign country with its own army, navy, Air Force

True no match for Russia as a superpower but remember you are the one going to fight them on their own land and on their own terrain and taking your own weapons with you

Even America after almost 20 years in Afghanistan couldn’t win and taliban still ended up taking the govt after almost 20 years

Billons of dollars lost and needless American soldiers lives lost

Even if Russian wanted to invade Nigeria imagine having to transport all its soldiers and equipment through Atlantic Ocean to fight as poor as Nigeria may be it can easily ambush them as they are landing and even Nigeria Air Force would still do something and that’s Nigeria oooo more less an European country

Feel so sorry for the Russians man just went to die for no reason
this is whr is blamed Ukraine. As soon as their machineries enter the Ukrainian soil, strike. They stupidly kept mute till Russia strikes.

The US military didn't go there to win any war.
They invaded Afghanistan because they wanted to topple the then-Taliban government for harbouring Osama Bin Laden.
That, they achieved and installed Ahmed Karzai.

What they shouldn't have done was stay longer than they did and that's exactly Joe Biden's argument. So, I don't understand where the win or loss is coming from.

they are using mainly there old Soviet Union weapons in Ukraine.

Their modern weapons are on reserve for the main war.. that if NATO intervene

So they don’t want to unleash those weapons because it will be a great loss if there’s nothing left if NATO and US attacks
So they manufacture a limited number of the so-called sophisticated version waiting for NATO or USA?
They don't have the capacity to Manufacture in commercial quantity just like USA and other do?
Soviet Version Weapons manufactured decades ago to the rescue?
This Na Tales by Moonlight!

It's as if some people in the us want the war to escalate. I don't know why the western countries don't want this war to end. Instead of sending humanitarian aids they are sending weapons. I don't get, bring the two parties together and make them reach an agreement. But no instead they keep blowing the flames of war as if war is a good thing. Let people who fought at the battle of Stalingrad, Okinawa, Iwo jima, battle of shangai and the rest tell you about war. Peace is the only option.

Or maybe there is even more to this war than they are telling us.

Sales of weapons is different as against obtaining what is avialable in stock during war.

Russia is at war here and probably has run out of stock piled weapons, hence the SOS to China.


Manufacturing of wepons takes months and cannot be immediately replenished on short notice excerpt through the stockpiled caches available.
Get that?

How many nuclear head does russia have again? So you think a country that stockpile nuclear heads will be weaken by few tanks that were damaged during the invasion, Russia is not on full offensive because Putin want to install a pro Kremlin leader there, this is what Russia have done in all the areas they have captured, they install a new major who is pro Russia.

If Russia is doing so poorly as claimed by the media, why is Zelensky asking for a no fly zone and why are the west who you think are strong and mighty havent grant the request of Zelenskiy.

Few days ago Poland president said he was going to Kiev and even posted pictures of them on the train, why didnt he post pictures of himself in Kiev. Putin and Russia is not afraid of anyone as portrait by the media and countries like Russia and China are no strangers to sanctions.

The only thing the West knows how to do best is to use their mainstream media to control the narrative.

They know how to cry wolf when in actual sense, there is no cause for alarm.

They will say anything just to manipulate people's fears.

Unfortunately for them now, this method is no longer effective.

People have now seen through their tricks, and most people are tired of buying into their numerous lies.

I think everyone is now comfortable with the fact that the Russian military is not what it was feared to be.
Now that it doesn't have economic support, I cannot see anything but a prolonged slugfest that will needlessly cost lives.

Putin used a lot of lies as excuse to invade Ukraine.
America used lies to attack Iraq
Now America is lying to plunge the whole of Europe into a war.

The heavy industries that produce arms must sha sell

America didn't coerce Ukraine to join NATO neither did they force Putin to invade Ukraine.
Communism is dangerous bro.
Assume Russia was a democratic nation, do you think Putin will invade like he did? Infact he has to carry every citizen along and if they weigh it and it's consequences, they may impeach him.
Look around the world, most of the countries at hostility with the West are all communist nation. Countries like China, Russia, North Korea, Afghanistan as at today, Iran and other troubled Arab nations.
The question is why is always about communism versus free nation. It's simple, free nation feels everyone on earth has a right to self determination while communism believes one man should determine what happens to everyone. If power is not evenly distributed, it intoxicate the sole bearer and with time drives him to paranoia.
Dictators are very afraid of loosing influence cause what awaits them when they are out of office is heinous.
The West cannot come into a country and forcefully remove a dictator. One of the things they do is to begin an expedition of regime change. They approach freedom lovers in the country and empower them to overthrow a stubborn dictator. Yes sometimes, it's not about democracy in the actual sense but if there's any other reason is for trade or international politics.
So if the West are this good, what happens to our brains Can't we also intelligently do same to them without brandishing nukes?
If we can't then let's be quiet and learn, plan and beat them in their game. Simply hating them even makes them more powerful.

I'm afraid this argument makes no sense.
They toppled a leader who hid a terrorist that attacked critical facilities in their country.

The moment the mission was achieved, the military should have left, but there was a change of government (Obama) that decided to keep them there.

When Donald Trump came in, he said he was going to withdraw their military. He couldn't stay long enough to implement the plan and Joe Biden did it. So, what's the fuss?

lol if they actually believed this nonsense, why haven't they bombarded Russia and taken Putin prisoner as they normally do in other countries?
You read garbage from video game obsessed fools on Twitter and come here to regurgitate. They're not using any of their sophisticated weapons because they don't have to. They have besieged almost all the cities and cut off their supply. They aren't even using their T80 and t90 tanks nor are they flying SU34, 35 or 57 nor are they using their Thermobaric weapons. They used all these weapons in Syria to defeat USA and their rebels so don't fool yourself into thinking they don't have them.. America know Russia very well that's why they can do all they avoid direct conflict with them.

Go and watch videos the Americans and Brazilians who went to fight for Ukraine are making and releasing so you can get accurate picture of the situation not the media stories written 9000 plus km away in New York and Washington DC. Take your time and listen to Zelenskyi and ask yourself is that's how someone sounds when he's having success in an operation

US are hypocrite. In war there is no winner. Only the dead have seen the end of war.

Has it stands now Russians have nothing to lose & Ukraine should thread carefully. "The weapons been used in Ukraine are Mild weapons" even the US & it allies acknowledge it recently.

Russia will deploy more deadly & ferocious weapons if the evil West & it greedy allies push them to the wall.

Left for USA and UK, this war may never end. They are the real warmongers. They lack the moral right to lecture others on humanity considering what they did in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and many other sovereign nations. Some countries amongst NATO like France and Germany opposed the admittance of Ukraine as a member as far back as 2008 when president Bush of America was pressurising for their admittance. They cautioned that extending NATO that far may cause a big problem..... Unknown to other members of NATO, America is just using that platform to achieve her selfish and hypocritical goals.. They rather fight Russia by proxy since they are very much aware that Russia knows what they know. If it were to be any other smaller nation, they would have gone there long time ago to show their might.

The reason why he mentioned nukes was to warn NATO not to interfere.
