Education and Healthcare? People seeking educations in Russia are mostly Africans and Indians wanting to escape their countries. A Russian education is not something that’s highly sought after.
As for healthcare, you have jokes! Russia imports over 95% of the pharmaceuticals used in the country. With all the highly educated people you said live there, why are they lagging so far behind in research and development?
Lies ,all eastern european education are of high quality.nobody is escaping their country.russia has given thousands of scholarahips to africans hoping human resources will change the face of africa.your thoughts and does other people that destroyed africa,are western ideas.our agriculture finance,steel,oil and gas etc are destroyed becaue of bretonwoods ideas.Somebody has come trying to change things that will impact you and your people,still you dont want to free yourselves

Friendship university in Russia was named after pratrice lubumba of Congo.

99.99% of people on that list have never been to Russia in their life nor planning to even visit Russia in the future
Putin is a real confused clown

The same Russia that America and Europe depended on, to get their Astronauts to Space, for almost ten years, before Elon Musk's Space X came into being last year, is the one that relies on imported items for all it manufacturing? shocked shocked

The same Russia that built the LADA vehicle we use in Nigeria, in the early 70's? shocked shocked

Issorite.


I have been to Moscow before and was also in Ukraine Donetsk in the year 2006, for a six months training, if that makes any difference to the current discussion, which l think does not.

You said continents, not countries. You are naming countries, not any of the 7 continents in the world and I already said it spans Europe and Asia. You said three continents so what is the 3rd!
Did you take a straw out of your Coca-Cola and use it to suck up the entire Bering Sea? Last I checked, the Bering Sea and Straits separates Russia from the US. They share no border.
I know you are anti russia zbut am not ready for any arguments,north america is a continent

Its shares border with America near Alaska,infact alaska use to be russia in time past.its shares with japan ,china,northkorea,and dozens of countries in the baltics,in the north of europe in the east of europe.

No it doesn’t. America shares a border with Mexico just like Nigeria shares a border with Benin. I can get in a car, drive through America and cross the border into Mexico. You can drive across Nigeria in a car and cross the border into Benin.
You were the moniker who told me to consult a map, right? Well here is a map with Russia on the left and Alaska on the right. Please tell the class where you can cross a border like the two examples I gave you:

Russia borders Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia, and North Korea in the south. Additionally, the country shares maritime borders with Sweden, Japan (by the Sea of Okhotsk) and the U.S. state of Alaska across the Bering Strait

What does Russia offer someone like Kamala? Answer this since you know so much about international politics grin grin grin

Some Sanctions, just like this one, are "Symbolic"!
It is like when joe Biden called President Putin a War Criminal, the next question is: Can yu then go and arrest the War Criminal? grin grin


But then, most people think Sanctions is just about getting Visa to travel to a country?

Sanction do affect your relationship with other countries, it affects your financial transactions, it affects whether your Plane can over-fly the Sanctioning country, it affects, you could be on a No-Fly list or Transition across a Country.
Even other Countries can use it as an excuse to deny you your rights.

What Russia just did, is to tell America that they also have the "Authority" to issue Sanctions like America, how effective the Sanction is, is another story entirely.

Most myopic people will ask why Russia is sanctioning people.

They'll say "who wan visit Russia sef?"

It's very bad to be sanctioned by a country.

It has a ripple effect.

In time, you will see the effect of these sanctions.
Not from a country like Russia?
When last did the sanctioned individuals visited Russia last?

The Bering Strait is a SEA, not a border. Now that I’ve pointed that out, you switched up and said MARITIME border which is a totally different thing. If you want to get technical about it, Nigeria shares a MARITIME BORDER with North America too but there is no border between the two countries.

My father is from Nigeria, I was born here in America and I’m a very free thinker but that’s neither here nor there.
High quality education as compared to what? I cannot be convinced that an education in Russia is highly desired and sought after.

Yes he really has. Before this invasion, the majority of the world viewed Russia as a powerful country shrouded in mystery but now that shroud has been yanked off to reveal the joke that it is.

Dis one think Russia is a small country, dishing out innuendo subtilty.He forget dat most pple on d sanction list are diplomats,who are obliged to visit different countries of d world for diplomatic missions.

When you are at war with a country , what is the essence of diplomatic mission? They are only ban from entering Russia....they are free to visit other part of Europe. Putin can only visit those countries called axis of evil ie China, North Korea and Belarus. Check them they ve one thing in common...sit tight dictators as leaders

Fact is that Nigeria is nearly as close in distance to Angola than Russia is to Alaska. In order to get from Russia to North America, you must cross 4,725 kilometers of water that is the Bering Sea.
You’re trying to play semantics but English was never the problem. You guys said that Russia shared a border with America just as it does with the other countries you all named, none of which have a sea between them and Russia.

You were the one that listed countries which were naturally capitalist and analysing from the strength of their economies and were people will migrate. since the world is like this the best of us live outside of our country. It should not be like that, you are meant to help your country to grow.

Ask yourself why do so many countries fear American sanctions? The answer is simple, American sanctions are not singular but multi facet. American ban is as good as U.N ban, is as good as European ban and so on. Russia sanctioning Kamala, even tho it is symbolic, I still fail to see what it actually enforces. Kamala no dey spend Russian currency, she no get Russian assets, so what exactly?
