Idaytesj29: You are of course entitled your opinion, but not your own facts. The end of SU was the problem of SU, not the West or NATO. NATO was not under any obligation to disband NATO just because the SU fell. Why not just educate us about why the SU collapsed? It collapsed because communism was unsustainable and largely because the SE invaded Afghanistan and spent 10 brutal years in Afghanistan. By the end of the war in Afghanistan, SU was tired, broke, and unable to keep fighting. The SU was bankrupt and unable to keep the republics together. All the Warsaw pact countries, the equivalent of NATO under the SU went their separate ways, that was when Russia was created and Ukraine became a surveying nation just like the other former SU republics like Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia, including Ukraine and Georgia. SU fell on its own because of its own failures, ideology, and poor communist economic system, it was never because of NATO or the west. Russia is doing the same thing and we can all read the writing on the wall. The West doesn't owe Russia anything and Ukraine is a surveying Nation. Putin can huff and puff till eternity, he can not keep Ukraine, maybe Ukraine won't join NATO, but definitely will join the EU. Ukrainians don't want to be part of Russia or even be friends with Russia, they want to be part of Western Europe and Putin can not do anything about it. He already lost this war, Russia is already broke and almost bankrupt just like the soviet union, it's globally isolated socially, culturally and economically and the only major thing they have and sell is oil/Gas and their largest customers, the EU are about to stop buying their oil/gas, many countries can not trade with them, they are already experiencing food shortages and fighting over ordinary sugar. Dumb Putin just made sure that Russia is in the same basket and category as North Korea, a pariah nation. That clown gambled and lost so blaming the West for the SU's and Putin's gamble and idiocy sounds flawed and disingenouse. 1 Like |

plaindealer: We cannot simply wash the US clean off the fall of the Soviet Union. US was an active influence. The difficult Mujahiddens of Afghanistan were supported by the smart CIA. That is where Osama bn Laden got his first share of military experience. Soviet Union/Russia and US will forever be at logger heads. They had a long history of bad blood between them, any country thats smart will not come between them as a bait. Many countries that found themselves in that situation even during the capitalism and Communism struggle for control of the world ended in deep crisis long after both countries had left them. To me Ukraine leadership was not smart. It was an avoidable war. Needless if international politics was well played. |

Re: Ukraine's Mariupol City Has Been '90%' Destroyed After Russia Besieged It by plaindealer: 1:02am On Apr 06, 2022 |
kodded: They prefer to be US puppet instead of Putin's puppet. Life is all about choices. Nearly all the former Soviet republics that used to be under the Soviet Union are all NATO members. Why are they not friends with Russia? Russia stinks and Putin's neighbors don't want to be his friend or associate with him, besides, Russia is a poor and depressed country with nothing to offer. |

Kennydoc:Come on, where do you get your own information from? Haven't you heard of DPR? The military arm of the Republic that have been fighting Ukraine for the past 8 years? Pictures of them below. Anyways, Mariupol can't be destroyed completely unless you use nukes. What you are seeing in the picture is a small fraction of where urban warfare took place. Besides, most of the destruction you are seeing there was actually caused by Azov Battalions that use civilian residential area and facilities as a cover for paramilitary operations, cover and they don't hold back when they use explosives there.

He invaded Georgia, the world let him slide, he invaded Chechnya, the world let him slide, he invaded Ukraine and took Cremia, the world looked the other way and let him slide, he claimed Dumbass and even declared their independence for them, the world looked the other way and let him slide, the question now is, what is he going to claim next? Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Moldovia. The Wst and the rest of the world enabled this mad man, he should have been confronted a long time ago, but like all madmen, they always end up overshooting their own goal. I'm 100% sure this is his last adventure, thanks to the brave and courageous people of Ukraine. 1 Like |

Commenting on this Russkraine issue is hard . Ukrainians have opted to deal with Russians without mercy , slaughtering ethnic Russians , assasinating Russian POW , blowing up chemical plants . The Ukrainian hate for Russians is what is fueling this war . To the surprised Russians , they are determined to quench Ukrainian fire by leveling them out . Zelensky will succumb when Kalibrs start dropping in Kiev ….. Putin now is ever emboldened to go all out in Ukraine with aerial and artillery attacks, pulling out his troops and letting his missiles and projectiles do the job ….. NigerianAngelo: |

NigerianAngelo:You know the bizzare thing? Soviet Union headed by Russia allowed it disintegrate without firing a single shot, but the countries that came out of it won't let others leave without war. Yet Russia is supposed to be the bad guy. Ukraine is fighting to keep ethnic Russians in Ukraine as servants. Putin has been a good person, I know an African would have nuked Kiev five times now. Another thing is that although donbass is Russian speaking, without donbass, Ukraine will be landlocked and won't be able to ship their products. 1 Like |

Oyiboman69:Oga, Ukrainian speaking tribes live very far away from donbass region, So that area was never Ukrainians to fight for either. The original owners of donbass region were expelled during the Soviet Union era for one reason or the other and the place was resettled by Russians, but the region was never ever settled by Ukrainians to start with. Most of the countries that came out of the Soviet Union were artificial countries just like how we saw from Yugoslavia where countries like Serbia-Montenegro Bosnia-Herzergovina etc, that has since further disintegrated into Serbia, Montenegro,Bosnia, Herzegovina etc. This the same as Ukraine. Ukraine is an artificial country that came out of USSR, now Ethnic Ukrainians being in charge like the "Fulani" of Ukraine is preventing further disintegration into more organic countries, preferring to subjugate other ethnicities in Ukraine. When you argue, know all that is going on. We have the same shit going on here in Nigeria, and guess who is preventing our disintegration? Same set of people supporting Ethnic Ukrainians in Ukraine. Same set of people bringin "freedom and liberty" to the whole world. 1 Like |

plaindealer: I think, Ukraine should have joined the European Union for the economic benefits and forget about militarizing with the joining NATO. Alternatively, Ukraine can have a South Korea like protection agreement with The US or UK or France or the three all together, for protection against any aggressor as another option. When Russia made her position known that she will take a military position against Ukraine if she does pursue joining NATO, Ukraine should have halted all the moves for the sake of the civilian lives. As against her adamant pursue of the military agenda. Russia is a big fish, Ukraine is a small one. In this system, big fish eat small fish. Small fish eat worms. A country like Nigeria wouldn't want to be at logger heads with US or UK, whether Nigeria is right or wrong, it will be a conflict we can never win. So, Nigeria will do well to tactically avoid conflicts with any of them. Imagine the destructions in various cities and suburbs, the dead bodies and the devastation all over Ukraine and not a building has been bombed in Russia. The situation is just terrible and at the same time very avoidable and needles. |

Malawian:it is either you're not being true to yourself or you just don't know what we're discussing here. When Queen Catherine rose into power, she expanded her territory and that was some of the major reasons why you see Russian speaking language allover those territory. it is the height of frivolity to call Ukraine an artificial country because the fact that they were forced in to the Soviet Union by past Russian leaders doesn't mean they were not a country on their own before the annexation. Its like you saying that there were igbos before the British almagamation or annexation of Nigeria by the British. |
