That is what the bbc article is trying to sell but we know better. America is not humble in this case because it has learnt the art of humility. The doctrine of MAD has simply made it humble. It has weighed the human and civilization cost of intervention and cowed down. If it were a country say in the caliber of Serbia, they would waste no time to intervene militarily.

Oga listen, because I know u are a cross- dresser, Putin is having no special operation in Ukraine, rather he’s having the biggest headache of his life this period. Yes Russia may have bombarded Ukraine largely which was expected but Putin is having a nightmare over the fact it’s 3wks now and he’s yet to humble Ukraine to her knees, despite the series of bombings.

Poor logistics, lack of planning, low fuel and help from US intelligence is hitting the Russians hard. At least u can see their tanks being torn to pieces too. Even if Russia eventually captures Ukraine, they have failed themselves and messed their reputation up. No one is ready to fear Russia’s might anymore because they are actually overhyped

Heterodox:
People talking about Russia and US forgetting that any confrontation between both will wipe out life on earth, including that of their parents.


US understands and Russia understands that.


But Nairaland warmongers don't.


Anyway, what do you expect from illiterates?

Russia says has again fired hypersonic missiles in Ukraine
Russia said it had again fired its newest
hypersonic missiles in Ukraine, destroying a fuel storage site in the country’s south.
“Kinzhal aviation missile systems with hypersonic ballistic missiles destroyed a large storage site for fuels and lubricants of the Ukrainian armed forces near the settlement of Kostyantynivka in the Mykolaiv region,” the Russian defence ministry said.
The strike marked the second day in a row that Russia used the Kinzhal, a weapon capable of striking targets 2,000km (1,250 miles) away at a 10 times the speed of sound.

Russian forces are weak if not they would have captured Kiev in no time as they kept bragging. I didn’t even expect Ukraine to be able to resist Russian might to this extent. So that makes many wonder what would happen if Russia faced US or NATO in a full conventional war

quickly:

US was very instrumental in countries around the world adopt democracy which seems to be the fairest way to govern a nation

leave this your epistle of blame and focus on the real issue on ground. Queen Catherine annexed Crimea in the past and Puttin is towing the same path now which is not something new to the Russians and also to the Ukrainians which is the recipient of this their madness. Russia's led USSR invaded Afghanistan back in 1978 and installed their preferred president, and they were strongly repelled by America and the rest of the world which is one of the major catalyst that led to the collapsed of the Soviet Union. So it is not lost on so many of us that at the end,Russia will still fail on this ground. however, you blaming the west is what I find more annoying,and the sole reason is because of your hate for the USA not because of your love for Russia.....

Headache after 3 weeks?

America spent 20 years. Read that again.

20 years and $132 billion fighting cow herders in Afghanistan. Guess what? They left their expensive weaponry and ran away in a hurry.

To those that did not read the full article, what it summarily says is that the US is no longer imposing itself on other countries. Unlike before when they were neo colonialists, now they are seeing other developed countries as much needed and equal allies. This a good thing moving forward for the rest of the world especially for we Africans, giving the current political climate, it seems that the US has learnt to be humble.

Tmberwolf1:

The US didn't do anything to Ukraine, Russia is solely at fault there. The US didn't install any puppet government, una just dey carry conspiracy theories anyhow. The moment Russia invaded Georgia and Chechnya, every other Baltic state and former Soviet Union territories were on high alert, started turning against Russia and slowly became pro western. In an internal vote carried out in Ukraine, 55% of the population were in support of joining NATO, while 68% were in support of joining the EU and this was all thanks to Russia being such dickheads to their former allies. So the US didn't do anything, Russia pushed them to far.
And I meant from trump downwards, the rest can go f*ck themselves. Obama most especially, that guy was a real bastard.

patrickmuf:
Is the war in Ukraine a full conventional war? The Ukrainian Army are employing guerrilla warfare using civilians as shield...

Mind you, Putin's intent is to demilitarize Ukraine and that's why he didn't just run over the country. With the pockets of resistance from the Ukrainian Army, he has the perfect excuse to keep destroying their military arsenal, major industrial hubs and infrastructures in general thus after the war, Ukraine will need at least 15-20 years to rebuild her infrastructure to the level it is now. They'll be little or no interest in military expenditure for the foreseeable future at least not with their infrastructures completely set back by 20 years...

MangekyoAlt:
honestly Russians arent really in fighting mood ATM. And it would likely remain that way until or unless any external forces challenges russia militarily. Or interfere in their internal affairs. I can imagine that this is why the US haven't DARED trying to overthrow putin. Whenever any country gets on the nerve on the USA, what they do is first is try to overthrow their president, replacing him with a friendly one. They've don it many countries. They've even tried it with Erdogan, the president of Turkey. I was surprised that they've never contemplated trying such nonsense with Putin and this article totally explains wht. According to the CIA, the Kremlin is the most coded place in the world. Putin has even started clearing off some elements that he doesn't trust fully. The moment he notices that the USA are trying anything, he would be sure to leak it to the Russians who wouldn't have any of it. So the hands of the US are tied right now. The more they decide to interfer in Russia's affairs, the more the Russian people would become anti-west which I'm sure they wouldn't want.

This is very funny. Yeltin, the man who was the president of Russia before putin, was a certified western ass licker. The man did as he was told to do by the USA as they constantly humiliated Russia. Note that while this man was ass licking the ass of the USA, he was still criticizing their move to expand NATO towards Russia despite the reason why NATO was crated, the USSR was no more. When putin took over, he was fairly pro west as well. His attempt to join NATO was thwarted. NATO needed an enemy and if russia joined, pretty much NATO would become a useless bloc.

Which is why Putin asked in Germany, 2007.
"Are we still your enemies that you keep on expanding your alliance towards us?"

It is obvious that after the dissolution of the USSR, Russia legit wanted to form ties with the USA and the west. But USA felt like they won the Cold war hence they can treat their former rivals which was now a shadow of his former self, however they like. They became the proud fućks that they've been known to be.

Meanwhile, If USA can manage to overthrow putin and replace him with a pro western president like they did with Ukraine, believe me they will treat Russia with more respect than they have since the fall of the USSR. But the thing is, it is too late.
Lavrov, 2 days ago said "the illusions of Russia forming ties with the West is all but over now".
Meaning, instead of trying to create ties with the West they will instead with China and others in Asia and South America and even Africa. Russia has been of late increasing their presence in Africa. I don't know if it is just me that notices it

franchasng:
Military experts that have studied Russia and have collaborated with Russian army for years are saying Putin can't order use of nuclear weapon should NATO step in cos it will mean an end to Russia, so to what end? To please one man Putin? Some are saying such orders from Putin won't be carried out cos the army commanders know the huge consequences.


Meanwhile, if NATO had intervened militarily, Putin would have called for dialogue cos if he escalates, it means bombs and missiles will be dropping in Russian cities which will open his secrets to Russians he had been deceiving that there is no war going on in Ukraine. It will expose his deceit and cause Russians to revolt against him because they will know Putin just want to destroy the whole Russia for a needless war to massage his balls.



US President failed Ukrainians.


In 1994, US convinced Ukraine to hand over all their nuclear warheads to Russia, promising to protect them against any external aggression, even Russia promised never to invade Ukraine should Ukraine hand over their nukes to Russia. They deceived Ukraine.



If Ukraine had their nukes today, Russia wont dare invade them.


All Biden needed to do is to remind Russia of their agreement and the US promise to Ukraine in 1994 and that would back US to intervene militarily together with NATO.


Joe Biden is a coward, he allowed Putin’s empty barkings to intimidate him.



Joe Biden have bartered US image starting from his last year's sudden withdrawal of US army from Afghanistan leaving behind sophisticated US munitions for Taliban

If we play out the scenario NATO vs Russia. NATO wins but at what cost.

Just imagine the level of destruction.

Great0ne1:
Story!! DO they actually need to make announcement before entering the war. They are sending there best weapons(except nuclear warheads)and getting there ass whopped. If they officially join the war and loose like they lost against talibans. It will be the ultimate disgrace to them. America has joined the war in Ukraine, under the guise of volunteer fighters and humanitarian support(which is basically budgeting huge sums of money for millitary hardware) , and they are loosing.
For idiots that usually like to argue blindly

Says who?
You sit behind your keyboard and type opinions from your ...
Why do you think a country is referred to as a world power?
You thinks it's because of jets and rocket launchers? Do you know what a nuclear weapon is?
Every country in the world has always struggled economically.
We all know the USA mounts the largest military budget in the world, no one contests that but in an event of a nuke war ( which the USA will never allow happen. They love their high rise buildings too much) Russia will do as much damage as the USA. There will be no winners because the damages will be incomparable
