Can Russia sanction the U S?

Why is Russia not taking UK billionaires properties the way UK is doing to them?

Why is Russia failing in its obligations to service its debt?


And the US and UK are just 2 among 30 countries in NATO

Says who ? If they’re not Russia’s mate NATO would’ve carpet bombed them . No matter how you try to sound sentimental they’re mates that’s why what ever sanctions they impose on Russia they suffer it to. They could have order a No flight zone but they can’t because they’re scared. You can’t be scared of someone who doesn’t pose a threat . Let common sense do the reasoning instead of sentiments.

the most painful part is that they will exposing their foolishness with confidence.
Aren't they aware that zelensky tried calling the arrogant Putin before the war, to dialogue, Putin ignore him.
Thinking he will be done with Ukraine in a week and then onto the next country. After they will wonder why Fulani is killing them.

Foolish nairalanders, if they were ask to advice Putin, they will ask him to go to war. Instead of looking for a more intelligent way to counter the cunning US.

For 8years putin has been asking to dialog with Russia he refused you need to read the history of how it all started.

You were correct until you erroneously assumed there will be parts of the western world that would survive. Wrong! It will be mutually assured destruction. Only those in nuclear bunkers with 2 years supply would survive. A typical ICBM today Carries about 10 MIRV nuclear war head. We have 1600 already armed at both end’s nuclear triad. There are currently no known counter measures and at best, interception rate will be less than 50%. 1 warhead today yields more than 700kN and above, in retrospect, FATBOY used in Hiroshima was 15kN. Do the math, you have an already armed 1600*10 in Russia and 1600*3(minute man) in the west. Just one of 16000, can wipe an entire city, so where will survive the onslaught? Both sides knows, reason NATO wants to avoid a direct clash at all cost, as it would likely escalate to nuclear exchange, a risk they are not willing to take.

Exaggerated copy and paste explanation doesn't show basic comprehension skills of how nukes work. Regardless, no amount of nuke can entirely wipe out existence.

Tendency that no life will remain in Russia is higher than in any other country because Russia will receive the highest number of nukes from over 30 countries such that there will be no opportunities for it to activate other potential nukes. Regardless of whatever war heads they may claim to posses. Fact with simple Logic

Russia would go but all USA and partially half of Europe too, because anyone that hit Russia will spread to other part of Russia neighbors that are in same NATO and Canada and Mexico will go down with USA tell me who win?

Simple Logic should tell you that Russia will receive nukes from over 30 countries. While Russia will aim to target over 30 countries.

The likelihood of Russia responding to being nuked simultaneously will be infinitesimal.

Russia will be overwhelmed such that they will have no opportunities to activate any other nukes regardless of any nukes they may have.

Before any nukes gets into US or UK, Canada, Australia airspace your Russia will most likely not be in existence.

If you take out USA all the communications of other nukes will cut off.... That what you don't know besides gprs guides nuke to it destination and Russia can take out all the satellites.

Zelensky is a coward & it glaring that Russia is treating this "Special Operation" with kids gloves.

If Russia becomes more brutal & forceful, I bet the "Special operation" will end in less than a month from now.

We want Peace Not War.

It is one thing to be ignorant, it is another altogether to be proud of it! What I gave is the basic principle of how nuclear capable ICBM works, if you had counter proofs, provide it instead of displaying ignorance! What do you think is the foundation principles of MAD?
Let me clear your ignorance, just a few 100s nuclear ICBM with MIRVs is enough to wipe out all of NATO territories and vice-versa, the scenario where both sides have amassed over 6000 nukes with 1600 already armed makes it a no brainer. I gave you figures in KNs. I now challenge you, if you have a single proof of how to successfully counter it successfully, paste it here, if the figures I pasted are false or wrong, paste it too.
Why do you think the US postponed a lot of their pre planned ICBM tests during this conflict? Because avoiding miscalculations is paramount, the moment a launch is detected and assumed to be hostile, the other side would launch all already armed 1600 at pre planned coordinates, and vice versa. Help yourself and check the KNs of FATBOY and compare it to current warheads today with each ICBM carrying as much as 10. Well I don’t expect you to know. Just 1 submarine Carries enough warhead to wipe out all of US and vice versa.
Your emotional rants don’t change the facts, no one will survive except in nuclear bunkers. Russia will be wiped out, The US will be wiped out, Europe will be wiped out. If you had a better comprehension of how it works, you would have pasted, but of course you don’t.

Laws of power don't work when nuclear weapons are lite up....


Once death comes all laws dies.


NATO fuelled fire and should be the one to extinguish it by stopping expansion and simply stating that Ukraine will never be a part of NATO to de-escalate the situation. Also, sanctions makes matters worse & will enrage Putin further. The idea is to de-escalate to save lives, not add fuel to fire. The U.S wants to prolong the war.

NATO obviously knew the consequences of their expansion and encircling Russia to threaten them. The U.S clearly provoked instability and chaos. While I’m against war, it’s important to understand the historical and geopolitical contexts that led to this in order to SAY NO TO THE PROVOCATION OF WAR and FOR WAR NOT TO REPEAT ITSELF. Putin sadly lost his patience after 15 years and took the U.S cunning bait.

It’s heart breaking Ukraine has been used by the U.S as a pawn and now cannon fodder to fight Russia on their behalf. The U.S has a track record of sponsoring colour revolutions/mayhem around the globe in the guise of democracy and a noble cause. The truth is they ONLY allow pro-American puppet regimes to exist. That’s the typical U.S imperialist playbook. Their greedy goal is money and global hegemony. Don’t forget they LIED in order to bomb Iraq and stole money and resources such as oil from the Middle East.

SADLY THE WINNERS ARE ALWAYS THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX WHO PROFIT BILLIONS from the GLOBAL ARMS TRADE. That’s a POWERFUL MOTIVATION TO FUEL FIRE and PROVOKE AGGRESSION and INSTABILITY AROUND THE GLOBE. Military arms prices have soared lately.

The U.S administration is using the same bait towards China. It’s media echo chambers are spreading their smear campaign against China to gain public consent for potential war with China and will use Taiwan as their cannon fodder. The non stop demonisation of China and Chinese people have caused rising brazen and deadly attacks against people of Chinese ethnicity. These politicians and it’s mainstream media are toxic with their influence to spread hate and division. It’s ironic that the U.S proclaims to hail human rights when they blatantly lied to illegally invade and killed many innocent civilians for over a decade. How can people still trust them is beyond me. They sure are superior at packaging themselves as the heroes and packaging countries they hate as villains.


Even without NATO putting up any form of provocation, do you think PUTIN is a trustable leader who can play the game of the big brother well, especially to all the surrounding nations that form the old soviet union? Do you think without provocation from the West Putin will stop in his annexation stride? The guy want to boss as many nations around him as possible with his nuclear power and forcefully truncate their sovereignty by taken over their territory, that's Putins exact game plan and the west of course won't allow such unwarranted occupation of people's territory.

Russia owns nuclear weapons.. But not in the numbers you are believing... Russia is not rich enough to maintain your numbers of idle weapons.... One of the NATO members bought jets from the US... The maintsnce cost for those jets is in excess of 13b dollars


If you ask what small arms or rifles the Russians army uses, you won't see Ak47 in the list but that is what we have seen with their soldiers in Ukraine


T14 tank is suppose to be the most advanced tank in their arsenal, it is not present in this war and never will be because only those uses during the May military parade actually exist and some are in Syria where they have been destroyed by light weapons despite the claims
