Hello! A tree does not make a forest

How many fronts can Russia fight! How many powers can they go against. NATO and allies, with neighboring countries secluding them, who else who loose most.

Russia has no resource peculiar to it and can always be sourced anywhere.

Opportunities for Nations who have not been on stage with their resources.


Russia is not standing on its own they are allies with two big economies, the biggest in the world being China, this sanctions is only coming from Europe and the west who are dependent on cheap Russia gas and petroleum products, in which they enrich themselves, take a look at North Korea aren’t they still surviving

They is no way they can isolate Russia it’s impossible, which other oil producing country in the world exports cheap crude in large quantities like Russia. None
What other commodities are you talking about,
Is it fertilizer, they are the worlds number one due to their large natural gas reserve
Are you talking about wheat, Ukraine produces the larges in the whole and it’s in ruin followed by Russia
India and China are importing and exporting more with Russia right now with the given good opportunity and trading with these two economy covers that of Europe alone

We learnt from the previous world war so we don’t believe everything the western media’s say, we dig deep

Try to educate your self more
They are more looser in this crisis that winners
The West would loose, Russia would loose and EUROPE WOULD BE THE BIGGEST LOOSERS

Ironically they are not out of sanctions. They are just holding back from placing the worst sanctions.

By the way Germany, UK and USA are currently putting together more sanctions.

Hey haven't even started yet with Russia

Food prices just jumped by 45% in Russia and so did car prices grin

Food prices in Russia?..what igbo are you smoking?.

My dear garbage in, garbage out, the map below is the map of the countries that have sanctioned Russia.

Their combined population is not even up to one billion as opposed to almost 3 billion in two countries (China and India) that are with Russia

And same in EU?
Ask anyone in EU, what the price of things now?
Do you know how many is baby foods now?

Not the same with Eu. Most companies are leaving Russia to Eu Nations. Food has never been a problem abroad, most of the baby foods are still within coins denomination sef.
Re: Poland, Latvia, Lithuania And Estonia Closing Borders With Russia And Belarus by Nobody: 6:38pm On Apr 04, 2022

The effect is much less in EU because they are not facing sanctions so can replenish baby food or basically anything through imports from all over the world.

On the other hand Russia is facing immense sanctions so cannot readily replenish stock.

The only areas EU are feeling the crunch is when it comes to those items they used to import from Russia. Now they diversify.

Russia is doomed and even Putin knows it. Their economy is expected to shrink by a whopping 15% this year and this would totally wipe out 15yrs of their growth. grin

EU is facing inflation of between 5% and 8%. But Russians are are having to cope with inflation of 20%.

Even their central bank has massively hiked interest rates to 20% grin

This is Russias worst economic chaos since the 1990s when their economy tanked by just 7%. This time it will be 15% this 2022 and that trend will continue in 2023. grin

We can effectively start reciting the requiem for Russia if this continues grin

MSN is bad.. Russia economy is growing.. even polish PM is already complaining that the sanctions doesn't have effect on Russia. Russia produce more that 90% of what it needs.

For every action they is an opposite reaction, this would only have effect on their diplomatic relationship, both parties get to loose, but I see Poland and co loosing more, the things you use to get cheap from your neighbor would come at high cost getting it else where, Russia would only have to throw their abundant products out into the international markets at affordable cost and still boost its economy


Apart from Oil, gas, wheat and maybe fertilizer what does Russia produce precisely that can't be gotten elsewhere

The only relevant EU country to Russia is Germany, Russia doesn’t import anything from these noise maker countries closing their borders.

The rest of Russia imports come from China. They should lock their borders and throw the keys into the Black Sea. Rubbish nonentities.

If you’d remove a spec from your eye for a sec you’d also notice similar rise in Germany, Spain and other EU countries.

Lol! Air and land is closed... By the time they close the sea, russia will then remain in russia! This means that they cannot move out any product to anywhere in the world. When this happens, he'll understand that his stupid war needs to end.

Which air and land did they close with China, Pakistan and India being a common boarder neighbors with Russia, with their economical trade still going on, have you forgotten Russia is in Part off Europe and Asia as well, you probably don’t know anything as The West, Asia and Europe feeds off Russia cheap gas and petroleum products

Why didn’t Europe and USA halt the importation of gas and crude from Russia immediately
USA is not even stopping the importation of fertilizers from Russia

Between October 2021 and January, U.S. government data showed border officials encountered about 6,400 Russians, some of whom said they were dissidents and are now in the United States. read more The Russian Embassy said in a statement then that it had contacted U.S. authorities about those citizens.

When i read through Russia Ukraine crisis i just laugh

It's not hard to remove sentiments and educate yourselves..


Russia is on sanctions but eu is feeling the heat more than Russia because Russia was never free from sanctions even before the invasion

Secondly Russia is becoming self reliant,

Most of it imports are being produced locally now


But Russia oil is a hard nut to crack for eu leaders

Consider it this way


One county is placed on sanctions

Many countries are feeling the effects, is that not a stupid move?

Even if you must read from your western media as so one claimed the other sources are not verified

Igbofam, I like this our little discussion because it has exposed how shallow your knowledge of global politics and propaganda is.

You just swallow Western Propaganda whole like a reptile.

I asked you one question that have buried that your parade of "US is the highest gas producer" propaganda and you decided to ignore it.

How exactly is USA the highest producer of gas when she neither have the highest gas reserve in the world nor export the most?

Russia has the highest gas reserve in the world (>24%) followed by Iran (which is USA issue with Iran since God knows when).

With Russia and Iran, finally in the Gas exclusive blockade, the world gas supply will fall by more than 40%.

Leave this garbage in, garbage out Nigerians that CNN have replaced their brain.

I remember when I told one that USA mission into Afghanistan was because of Opium and he froze. I can't imagine that someone that doesn't know that simple fact was involved in arguments on global politics.

Some might not also know that the issue US have with Iran is because of Gas. Iran has the second highest deposit of Gas after Russia. Now with Russia and Iran being extremely hostile to US and the West, I can't imagine the West not either begging Russia or taking the bold decision of invading Russia to survive.

Any one with a grasp of geography knows that you simply cannot isolate Russia, its just too vast. A country that borders fourteen other countries, bigger than half of Africa, and spread accross three continent (Europe, Asia and North America) can't be isolated.

The baltic states are feeling fly because they are in nato and EU. Three tiny countries that only Niger, Borno and Taraba state are bigger than, with a tiny population combined that is not up to 1/3 of Lagos. Closing their borders with Russia does not isolate Russia, it isolate them. grin

Go ask EU airlines, especially Finnair that is loosing billions due to Russia stopping them from flying accros their country en route to Asia. You can't go to Asia from Europe faster without flying accross Russia. EU airlines now are in tears, loosing billions due to Russian blockade.

What's going should be seen not through ordinary eyes (Read Matthew 16:1-3). Will this lead to the Great Tribulation?

Things are heating but the truth is, the future is very unpredictable. No one knows how things will turn out. Imagine someone going into a coma in 2019 and waking up in 2020 with everyone wearing masks?! If he or she was told it was 2025,he'd believe it.

Is the border closure good or bad? How will it play out? Will Russia feel boxed in? These 3 Liluputians have been dying since their independence to give Russia the middle finger and have now done so grin

Will Russia use a nuke if boxed too far or to cover its shameful defeat in Ukraine?

The international sanctions have impoverished Russia. They were prepared to sell oil at a $35 discount per barrel based on the pre-invasion oil price to India! It's that bad! The country is truly struggling. It's also collecting its payment in Rupees.
