Are u not contradicting yourself here??
If u think India can decide for themselves who they wish to deal with as a sovereign nation, why do u think Ukrainians can't do same without being bullied by Russia?
Ask your Lords first same questions in Iraq, Libya , Yemen etc ..

The west just want to destroy anything that is not in their favour,they hate seeing any country competing with them,they want to be above everyone and keep milking their slaves.

I laugh at all these fools in Africa that are surporting them,they are hypocritical.the best way to enslave someone is to influence his mentality not by force,force was used in the stone age,most of u don't know Nigeria is a western cage,u are all animals in their eyes but because your mentality has been tired ignorance will never let u know

We are not even suppose to be speaking their language but they've made us think using their language makes u responsible,just see how our locals are going extinct bcs of them,their agenda is to westernise they whole world

Mehn! This is deep. The language we're using to communicate is theirs... So, in a way, we will always feel inferior.

How is the west losing it?
They should sanction india
Undermining Russia as if it's some some small country with little importance was the first mistake from the west and it could be potentially what will lay the foundation for the decentralization of their power in closest future.

They didn't treat Russia as an equal and they continue to undermine it's security concerns.
The west are still arrogant and towing the same path with China. This is probably what be the final nail in the coffin , as regards the diminishing influence of the West.

India is not part of NATO, India will do what is best for India- If you go market and you see something what you looking for a very cheap price , you must buy now. The war will continue but I believe both Russia and Ukraine are losing the war- war will be a stalemate-. Ukraine will build up and everyone will go back and mind their business. Putin might not be in power for long with the sanctions are affecting common Russians daily and some big billionaire are losing money, I expect some changes in the future. There are some resistance to Putin rule in Russia, so I expect the resistance to keep growing. It is better to have more friends than enemies, and for the case of Putin, He has more enemies than friends. First of all , every Ukraine will fight till the last drop of blood- They are not going to give up easily , so the war will continue. Russia has won some battle and Ukraine has won some battle. Second of all, Putin is bad for businesses in Russia generally , so I do not expect the oligarch to be patient with Putin. Thirdly, Putin has enemies in the West and many countries and even within Russia, Before t
Those oligarchs don't have political powers, Putin made it like that when he came to power, those oligarchs needs putin but putin don't need them, the people that has the political power are the strongmen, those are the Generals, and co, they aren't wealthy as the oligarchs but they are the people that dictates wat goes on the country, and the strongmen are in support of putin, they don't like the west, they want anything to do with west, that's y putin could change the constitution for him to be life president becos he has the support of the strongmen

What truth should we know? Is that it is justifiable for people to be killed because of a cause? Is it that the life of innocent people don't matter?

What nonsense truth do you speak of?

Whether India buys or does not buy Russian oil, the Russian economy is already in trouble. Half of those sanctions are enough to cripple any country. Do you know what it means when commercial airlines can not fly to your country?

Biden has said the sanctions will not be permanent but will depend on Russia putting an end to its invasion of Ukraine. That, however, won't stop Putin.
hmm, let's see the sanctions do not look like they having effect

Why did the soviet union fall? History repeat itself- Soviet Union fell because of Bad economy and other political factors - The same is meant to happen to Russia if their economy does not improve- The Ruble is dropping fast. Fighting a war is very expensive and will require Russia will use their resource at a fast rate. It does not matter if Putin have strong men running the country or backing Putin, Once the sanctions are affecting the average Russians- The core of Putin Support might not be so strong If the economic does not improve- The worst thing in fighting a war is losing the support of general Russians, if Putin can keep his approval rating high among the average Russians then he has a chance to be in power or vice versa.

US and EU along with some of their foot soldiers here on Nairaland will be so pained to hear this news, they want to see Russia drown but unfortunately Russia is opening doors to another people to patronize their oil and gas, soon they will threaten India with Sanctions grin grin grin

They bought the oil on a cutdown rate. Now do the math: the price of oil is $104 per barrel, assuming Russia sold to India on a lower rate of $80 per barrel, multiply it times 3 million, and see how the US and It's western cronies are pained by this recent India purchase. cool

Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar are among the committee of truly 'independent' nations snubbing the US to pursue their own independent economic interest with Russia and China.

In yet another blow to the US effort to isolate Russia, Moscow have announced that it would provide nuclear submarine to the Brazilian navy in another multi billion Dollar deal that is set to irk Washington.

Interesting times ahead. cool

Russian support was responsible for the independence of many african countries from US and allies. That is why US/UK/EU hates Russia so much. If not for God and Russia, Nigeria will still be "British Nigeria" today and Namibia will still be "German Southwest Africa" while sahel will be "New France"

Did you see the thousands of pro-Putin Russians that gathered yesterday to celebrate with Putin the bringing back of Crimea? Some people simply do not understand Russia. One thing that unite all Russians is when there is an international gang up against its national life. And what is happening is exactly that. Putin's approval rating will only take a massive dive downhill if ordinary Russians become unable to fend for themselves, but unfortunate for the west, it would never come to that. For a country that has 11 time zones and resting on multiple continent, it's wishful thinking that they can be isolated completely. Just like it has done with India, Russia will surely find alternate markets for it's main goods. At the end, Europe will be the biggest loser.

Consider this:

Russia’s total natural resources are valued at USD 75 trillion.

Russia has the largest reserves and is the largest exporter of natural gas. It has the second largest coal reserves, the eighth largest oil reserves and is the largest exporter of oil and wheat in the world.

Russia is a leading producer of copper, fluorspar, iron ore, lime, gold, magnesium compound and metals, mica, cobalt, aluminum, asbestos, arsenic, cadmium, coal, cement, boron, bauxite, vanadium, titanium sponge, tin, tungsten, potash, sulfur, silicon, rhenium, steel, pig iron, nickel, palladium, phosphate, petroleum, nitrogen, peat and oil shale.

Russia has 40% of world’s gold reserves.

20% of the global production of industrial grade diamonds and 25% of global gemstone production come from Russia.

11% of the global aluminum market is controlled by just one Russian company, Rusal.

Russia has more than a fifth of the world's forests. About one-fifth of the timber in the entire world is present in the forests of Siberia.

If you laid the oil and gas pipelines of Russia around the equator, it would encircle earth 6 times.

Only one lake of Russia, Lake Baikal has 20 percent of entire fresh water in the world. Russia has 4 of the 10 largest rivers in the world.

Russia’s top 20 billionaires have a combined wealth of about USD 250 billion, which is more than the GDP of 150 individual countries in the world.

Russian inventions include transformer, helicopter, video-tape recorder, synthetic rubber, grain harvester, electrical telegraph, arc welding, radiator, powdered milk and thousands of other things without which life would be very different today.

Russia is not a shit hole ur masters made u believe
.... Well.... The sanctions are not meant to eliminate Russia but to weaken their economy... That's the point I want u to see it from.... The sanctions may not have the Iran effect on them but it will deal a major or significant blow to them
