I still don't get why Russia hasn't placed troops, nuclear weapons & ICBMs in Cuba, Nicaragua & Venezuela yet.

Or form their own alliance with all NATO adversaries.

Since NATO has refused to stop moving towards Russia's borders. Russia should start moving closer to NATO's borders.

Your claims are funny.

What do you mean by moving towards Russia's borders.

First, In the history of NATO, the alliance has never 'dragged' any nation into it. Hell, even Georgia has been denied entry since 2010. Countries usually have to meet requirements to be allowed entry.

Secondly, countries like Estonia & Latvia have been in NATO for years — and are border countries of Russia. Why haven't they been attacked by Russia.

Thirdly, you should know that NATO wasn't formed because of Russia. Russia — as a stand alone natio never existed when it was form over 6 decades ago.
NATO was a fallout from Hitler's Germany.
Germany is of course now a NATO member today.

Even Victor Urban of Hungary with his usually anti European stand is a member of NATO. Anyone that says NATO was formed for Russia — and so Russia should form its alliance doesn't recollect much about history.

If Finland and Sweden join NATO that is a humiliating defeat for Putin and Russia. It looks like the Western alliance smell blood with this Ukraine war and they are going for the kill. It is beginning to look like Russia underestimated the resolve of the Ukrainian people to resist and NATO ability to fund them with weapons and overestimated his own military abilities. But my fear now is with Putin backed into a corner he might have a devastating surprise up his sleeves, I am having a funny feeling that all this will not end well for this planet and humanity. Former president Dmitry Medvedev' is already threatening nuclear war if NATO keeps arming Ukraine.

Suddenly they are desperate to join NATO because Russia is trying to bring back the Soviet Union.

Ukraine was always under Russia's protection .... no reason to join NATO. The reason to join NATO has nothing to do with protection.... protection from who? You have a reasonable answer? Zelensky is being pushed by the US to join NATO so that US/NATO can set up military bases and place missiles at Russia's doorstep. Ask yourself what has US/NATO done to bring about peace? Ask yourself what US/NATO has done to escalate the conflict? If you are honest to yourself... you will understand who really is the bully and warmonger.

The way you people say it's NATO that's expanding.
First off do you even know what NATO is and what type of alliance it is?

It's not some type of conquering army invading one European country after another.
A country chooses for it's own self interests to join on its own will, and other NATO members have to accept them in.
A lot of eastern Europe after suffering under Soviet oppression chose to join NATO in fear and for protection from future invasions by Russia, which with Ukraine proved their fears correct.

Russia is acting like a bully instead of being diplomatic to it's neighbors, further pushing them into NATO'S hands.
Define NATO yourself and suit it to your argument whenever it suits your selfish interests.. I don't know NATO I only NASA .. radarada!!!!!
The west and NATO have been bullying the whole world for years but that's cool and alright to you ? .. hypocrites!!!!!

If Putin can invade Ukraine and annex Cremia in 2014 (without a threat of joining NATO), they can invade any other smaller country of their interest. A small country should therefore wisely seek protection AND not pretend that Russia will not act against them one day!

Don't mind the ignorant, packed to the rafters on this forum that follow falsehood like sheep.

Said it since the war started in response to their early quims.

That NATO was a product of the second world war to put all allied militaries in one union to ensure they do not turn their weapons on themselves ever again. And that remains it's bedrock, internal cohesion.

That the issues of the Cold War came about later was not the reason NATO was formed.

And as you alluded, not every member sees eye to eye. France has never accepted American leadership and it's military does not touch American equipment or logistics yet they remain allies and do not conflict because of NATO neither does the US dare bully them because of history as the French aided America significantly in it's war of independence from Britain.

Folks just talk nonsense, knowing little of the foundations of what they see happening. NATO is not eager to expand. It does not advertise membership. It is a club that the threatened seek to join and Russia has mismanaged the situation since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

If it played it's card well it should have been in NATO today as a ranking member but they did not democratize and have an autocrat in power with dreams of empire building.

Who doesn't like freedom.

Do small Google search.

Some European countries due to environmental concern and cost decommissioned some of their coal and nuclear plants and decided to source certain percentage of their electricity elsewhere.

Now there are talks in Europe about bring back those plants and the environmentalists are going haywire.

Do small digging and you will understand the whole picture.

As for Nigeria, the problem is not that Nigeria can not produce her own electricity but:

1. We have spent more than what it cuase to fix those plants and yet we are still in darkness

2. Let's assume we can't fix it why can't we source it elsewhere

3. Country like Ghana and Benin that source part of their electricity do have steady power supply than we do.

Since last month Finland has been mulling over restricting energe access from Russia

Who are these people waking up to make miscalculations sef
Only God what else Finland gets from Russia
Mumu talk. It's not a new thing for countries to produce excess energy and sell to their neighbours. In 2011, Germany announced excess energy generation from their wind turbines and opened the doors to bidding countries. The excess was said to be enough to power 14 European countries comfortably. You are supplying Ghana, Benin and Niger while your country remain in the darkness but you want to quickly jump up and say all is well. Successive governments have failed us and they must be held accountable not given a pat on the back for their gross incompetency

Is Russia trying to win friends and allies? If that's your opinion... you're entitled to it ... need not defend it.... but being put out here on a discussion forum you should say why you arrived at it.. If you're stating as fact... what's your source?
Same scenario.... invasion... US invading Iraq.... Libya ... was it strong man tactics used to win friends?... or did they act friendly? ... and just curious... what is your opinion on those two invasions?
If the.US can invade Iraq and Libya ... a smaller country like Cuba should therefore wisely seek protection and not pretend US will not one day invade them. Biden said it will he an act of war should Russia place missiles or have a military base in Cuba or Venezuela. What's your opinion on this?

Wise up...and grow up. Do you think Finland is in the dark now? Across Europe, it is normal to buy electricity from anywhere, or any country. There are many independent bodies that sell electricity. Mind you , Finland is not in darkness..

Say what you know. They import only 10 percent from Russia and now Sweden and Norway has steeped up to fill that 10 %. Nigeria isn't any better than Finland.
