Meanwhile, Putin joined his own version of NATO, a rag tag and inconsequential mix of Armenia and others to do pity party and console Putin in his time of loss and suffering...

This is very laughable.

Since all Putin's shakara against Finland and Sweden joining NATO don melt away after realizing that he can not do anything to stop both countries, your new hope and hero is the Turkish president who is just looking to score concessions here and there and will eventually greenlight both countries joining NATO.


After a few days when Turkey pipe down, I wonder what your next gyration go be?

How about Iran, Irag & Afganistan coming inside the picture, allying with Russia. Does that scare you?

Countries have the right to ally with whatever country they want to. If Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan ally with Rossiya...so be it. US invading them to stop them from allying with Rossiya would be WRONG...just as Russia invading Ukraine for the latter wanting to join NATO...is wrong.

Putin will always be clouded by his ego. NATO is well-run. It has its own leadership, which is not the presidents of the respective member nations. But in this Putin's version, it is led by the preidents of the respective member nations, and of course, Putin is the season. See where he went to sit on that table. The man wants to hold sway everywhere. He is a power monger.

I don't remember saying they can not or are not allowed to and the last time I checked, it is Russia going berserk and fuming because other countries are joining their own preferred alliance and even foolishly going to war because of self-induced paranoia about other countries joining NATO.

Russia on it path will have to restrategized & deploy Nukes, ICBMs, to deter her enemies.

Only the dead has seen the end of war.

And that’s because only Russia has nukes and ICBMs right?? Morön

US has gotten more than 840km border with Russia now, all thanks to putin's lack of diplomacy. Both has ICBM, ICBM traveling at Mach 5 can destroy Russia under 5minutes because it won't need to travel thousands of miles again. This is called check mate. U guys should think

You see what we have been saying all along?
Those of you that are against Russia and saying it has No REASON/JUSTIFICATION to attack Ukraine are now using the same reason to justify your taunting of Russia.

Russia has a legitimate Existential, Security Threat in Ukraine joining NATO, developing Nuclear and Biological Weapons, with American help and the proliferation of Neo-Nazis (some of which Russia just captured after they surrendered in Mariupol Steel Plant) within Ukraine

But l am sure Russia will defend itself if attacked, every problem has a solution. it is those in Europe l pity

Russia is repositioning its Nuclear Weapons to Finland Border, as a response to their request to join NATO.
Question is: Is it worth it? Eventually, can NATO Guarantee their Safety? (it may be able defend their destruction, as it is doing in Ukraine)

If China, North Korea or Russia attack any one of the NATO member states, NATO wont confront the two countries directly due to the fear of nuclear warfare. They will only resort to economic war with bundles of sanctions

Joining NATO only assured that country protection against aggression from weak nations.

Russia has exposed this in Syria and Ukraine. This forced the West of fighting in proximity.

Is America a member of the European Union, what is its Business in a War between Russia and Ukraine?
- Why is America spending $15Billion, plus another $40Billion in weapons to assist Ukraine?
- Why is America providing accurate GPS Location Data of Russian Assets (Weapons, Tanks, even Senior Officers) to Ukrain, who then use it in targeting Russian Assets?
- Why is the UK living next door to Ukraine and if not, why is it trying to go bankrupt in supplying weapons and Mercenaries to Ukraine?
- What about Germany who had to change its laws, so it can supply weapons to Ukraine?
- Did Russia attack Poland? If not, why did Poland send all its 27 Pieces of MiG Fighter Jets to NATO European headquarters in Germany, for them to be sneaked into Ukraine, to aid Ukraine in the fight?

What is the common denominator in all these?
Answer
: America is the head of NATO, UK is ranked next, then Germany and so many other members like Poland that are arming Ukraine and sanctioning Russia and stealing Russian Wealth.

So, it is a No-Brainer to see that this War, though between Russia and Ukraine on the surface, it is actually a War between Russia and NATO, judging from the above analysis.

So, for those abusing Russia that "small Ukraine" has given it a lot of difficulty, l ask them to be honest with themselves.
Its like the Mob that killed that Lady Deborah Samuel, in Sokoto!

One Person can only do as much, when confronted with [color=#990000]the strongest Power in the World and about 35 other mid-Power nations
like Germany, UK, Italy, France, Japan, Canada, etc.[/color]

Despite all that, Russia is still standing firm on its objectives:
- Neutralizing the Neo-Nazis in Ukraine (achieved today, with the final SURRENDER and CAPTURE of the Azorv Battalion, in the Arzov Steel Plant in Mariupol)
- Preventing Ukraine from developing Nuclear and Biological Weapons to be used against Russia, with American Assistance( Achieved the the seizure and destruction of Ukrainian Weapons Labs and exposing their nefarious work at the United Nations, for the whole world).
- Ensuring that the Donbas Region (Luhansk and Gdansk) is liberated, independent and rid of all the Neo-Nazis (In Progress at about 70% completion)
- Ensure that Ukraine remains "Neutral and does not join NATO" (as l am writing this, l am not aware that Ukraine is a NATO member or has even "applied" to be so grin )
- Ensure that it will survive the sanctions imposed on it by the "Gang of NATO Mobsters" (though it has suffered a lot, due to the theft of its Foreign Reserves and other assets, by America, UK and European Countries, the ongoing Russo-phobia, etc, as of today, the Russian Ruble's value is FIVE TIMES its value before the Invasion, Enemy European countries are still dependent on Russian Energy, their Citizens are almost revolting due to the high price of Fuel/Gas and unprecedented Inflation and funnily enough, they are all paying for their Oil and gas in Rubles, as ordered by Putin.

Like they say, "Count your Blessings, One by One and it will surprise you what the Lord has done". kiss kiss

We may not like him, we may not like his style, we may be afraid of him (Russia), we may even be jealous of him(Russia), despite all that, one thing we cannot deny is that he has taken on Mighty-Mob NATO and still standing!
It stakes strength and intelligence to survive such NATO, mob onslaught.


And please, while l dont mind you responding, kindly do it civilly, maturely and without insults, abuse and name-calling, as you will notice l did not insult you or anyone in my own response.
It just does not show decency to be insulting people we dont know, not to mention that it distorts the discusiion.

Like you, l am certain that No Western World Country wants to end up like Ukraine is, RIGHT NOW.
Nuclear Weapons is enough deterrence that will make any nation think twice before joining fight directly., when it is not under attack.

Between 2014 and 2022, just before the Russia invasion, America has assured Ukraine of defending it, it if was attacked.
They worked together, to confront Russia in a future war, trained their army, and assured them of NATO membership, when they apply.
Ukrainian President before Zelensky even signed their NATO ascension into Ukraine's constitution.

Ukraine was so certain that if Russia ever attacked it, America will "send Boots on the Ground" to defend it, hence we all saw the way Zelensky was insulting America and other NATO members, including those in the EU, for doing a U-turn, when the war started and only sending Weapons. grin grin grin

The answer an American congress man gave was that "Russia did not attack America and that America cannot puts American lives at risk, when it is not attacked". Finito! undecided undecided

Now, even Israel, as small as it is (size and military strength) has defied the whole World, defined hundreds of UN Resolutions passed, concerning Palestinian Sovereignty, simply because it is a NUCLEAR POWER (Go and Read the Book: "The Samson Option", by an Israeli Author, cant remember his name right now).

Once you have Nuclear Bomb, you have entered another league, that is why North Korea is still standing today and America has not attacked it!
It is a Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) for the Attacker and the Person being Attacked.
Both will go down (I am not talking about small tactical Nuclear weapons, l am talking about the Real Deal.


Now, do we really think that America, Germany, France, UK, Canada, Italy, is ready to DIRECTLY attack Russia (lets say it attacked Poland or Finland or Sweden, its neighbors) and risk a Mutual Assured Destruction War where they all use Nuclear Weapons?
Do you think these countries are ready to lay waste (and destroy Russia too, in the process), just because of any of these Countries?


They may not say so openly or say so now but when the Chips are down, Capitalist Countries love themselves and their freedom too much, to risk it for a third Country, Article 5 of NATO or not.

This is the "lesson" Ukraine just learned..... in the hard way. You are on your own.
Joining NATO does not Guaranty ANYTHING, if your foe is a Nuclear Power like Russia.
That is WHY President Putin is warning Sweden and Finland to "Think Properly" on the Step they are taking as it will further put them in more danger, because after joining, they have automatically declared themselves as "enemy countries", which they are not, right now and Russia has not attacked them since it was formed.


Imagine for a second, if the country that attacked Ukraine (Russia), does not have a Nuclear Weapons, you think American boots wont have rolled it with some "Shock and Awe" as we had in Iraq, (when it invaded Kuwait who is also not a NATO member), Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc.
America's Military just moved into Somalia again, TODAY. undecided grin

NB: I am writing all these for Educational Purposes Only, l dont have a Horse in this fights. grin

Edit: I also notice that a lot of people here dont know the difference between a "Military Alliance", with Article 5, as in NATO ..
And an Economic Alliance like BRICS, E.E.C, African Union,, without any Military Objective.

Anyone can join the latter (BRICS) but if you want to join the former (NATO), you definitely have to put your Nuclear Power Neighbor's Security into consideration.

That would be a wise thing to do, to avoid stories like Ukraine.
