Putin will still lose at the end

From my small understanding, Putin was just trying to protect his Russia territories and interests by asking NATO to stay back and stop coming closer east ward. But Eu and america saw it as a bluff thereby opening there arms to embrace Ukraine and Georgia. So na America and Eu first start to dey find trouble.

QED

Putin would not hold his arm and watch hypocritical countries destroy his country

A total one sided rubbish. Wasted my time reading it.

The right up is long sha

Just like there is no strong woman, only a weak man. There is no strong Putin, only a pussified EU.

Russia doesn’t get to decide what other nations do with their sovereignty.

America is not 1/10th as powerful as they've made us believe. People who couldn't defeat ordinary Talibans in over 20-years.

Aren't as strong? They kicked out the Taliban government within 60 days! It might even have been sooner but I want to be accurate. They did likewise to Saddam in Iraq.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban regrouped and started an insurgency that was fought guerilla-style. That's very hard to win when you have thousands of new Taliban fighters crossing the porous Pakistani border for the ones they lose. Also, many innocent Afghans died from collateral war damage caused by American forces which turned victims into willing Taliban supporters or members.

America isn't good in fighting an insurgency. Their army is best at fighting conventional wars with other countries. That's why they could easily topple the Taliban and Saddam. Guerillas do hit and run. American soldiers say that someone smiling with you in the morning may set up an IED to blow you up at night. You never know who the enemy is. They don't wear army uniforms.

The best way is to win the people over. In Iraqi neighbourhoods where the army was friendly with the population, especially with kids, attacks were very few. The kids would inform American soldiers where IED's were planted for instance. Show me that kid who does not like the uncle that bought him chocolate sweets? Most often, people in the hood know where the troublemakers are.

The best you can do with guerrillas is to tame them or negotiate with them, Trump did that in Afghanistan.

Angela Merkel played a huge role in leaving Ukraine high and dry all
because Putin made some vague promise.
Why would anyone trust the word of a spy?

Standing ovation for the world most powerful leader.

The Germans and French govt stopped Ukraine from joining NATO all because they saw little or no resource they can get from them. This days we call it diplomacy in govt, but why play diplomacy with the lives of people under threat from Russia? The west can never be your Friend. You don't gain anything except they give you the crumbs falling off their tables.

Hmmm

Russia has nukes and if you don't keep a close look on them, they can decide to bomb the US.

America has been a target for a lot of countries with nuclear weapons ..

And to be careful, you must know these people by watching them closely....

Loool.. who is watching America tho How many nations has Russia invaded and destroyed compared to America?? Some of you just talk with a bias mind!! Na wa

This is absurd! Why will they bomb the US? Isn't the western expansion that you termed watching them closely bringing these fears to reality? If the west had simply let them be. There would be no threat of WW3 today.

You obviously have no understanding.
Nobody is forcing Russia to do anything and Putin has no right
to dictate to sovereign countries whichever path they choose.

The next question to ask is, Why is America a target for many countries? What is their offence? The answer I guess is fairly obvious, their interference in other countries politics and traditions and economy is no longer welcomed. They want to rule the world and as such they had to suppress every other country under them.

If America is practicing their democracy and the Afghanistan's are practicing their shareeah as they are Muslim dominated, there will be no problem, why invade a country to establish another system of government that will be dependent on yours. People's eyes are opening and it is only a !after of time before every country start to have leaders that will liberate them.

Economists around the world knows that if they trade with their currency, it will e a big boom to their economy, but then, who can abandon America dollar just like that without serious consequences on the nation? Who has the ball to pull such?

That's what Russia wants you to believe.

This issue started the moment Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.

There was already an agreement on ground for Ukraine to give up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for Russia to respect its sovereignty... Russia broke that promise when they annexed Crimea.

This was the genesis of the problem.... After annexing Crimea, there was no more trust from the Ukranian side on Russia, so they decided to form a better alliance with the West... Then Putin used NATO as an excuse to further invade and annex the whole Ukraine.

The problem is Putin, the problem is Russia, and not the West or US.

Taliban chased Russians outside Afghanistan back into Russia.
Russia that Hitler nearly wiped out if not for America and the Allied forces. Hitler got to 20km from Moscow.
Mention 1 war won by Russians in recent history. Just 1.

Dia wahala

Let me correct you. Putin is trying to control instead of influence, which is why NATO membership is attractive. I believe you read where Putin chose a president for Ukraine and blame the West for the failure, forgetting the Ukraine people have a right to choose thier leader.

This bumbling fool who can't defeat Ukraine.

Are you okay? Can't you understand Russia is trying to control neighboring countries? Didn't you read where Putin chose a president for Ukraine? NATO membership is attractive because of Russian bully. As mighty as US, she can't choose president for Canada or Mexico.

babyfaceafrica:
Hmm. The US and Europe has shown their hypocrisy with these wars

America didn't invade Afghanistan because they practice Sharia. You are a Muslim and I understand your bias but it doesn't mean you should tell lies.

Nothing the west did would have stopped Putin's plans. Nothing. Very tiring to hear how they shoulda, woulda, coulda.

This was the plan. Period. And while he’s the head goblin, he has millions of enablers.

Foolish man .

[/s]

Was it not also plausible that Russia was planning or nursed the idea of expanding westwards? What NATO and the US did was to counter-act Putin on whatever move he purpoted to make.
The politics of Russia and the West is very complicated.But what makes it intricate and ensnaring for Putin is that Ukraine is an independent nation ,protected by the UN Charter . There's no way Putin,not even in light years,will be able to justify what he called "special military operation, but which before the whole world, is daylight,unprovoked invasion of an independent,sovereign state.

Trumpist nonsense

What country nuked parts of Japan back in the day?!!!

Who puts them in check when they decide to nuke others?!!

Puremaker8:
hmm, the first and only country to have nuked a country is America.

but they had a reason for doing so. It wasn't has if it was an unprovoked attack

Don't mind them...

I will never understand why some Africans lose their dignities and sense of reasoning when it comes to anything America!

I find such low self esteem quite disturbing!
