I don't side any of them but your guess is as good as mine, no country can survive such a ban with the international community for a long time not even America so what Russia is doing is cosmetic surgery just as Nigeria NBS does.

It doesn't matter what happens tomorrow, we're discussing what we see today.
They sanctioned both Iran and North Korea for many years and Europe and America didn't feel any negative impacts. But this one with Russia is like the more you look, the less you see. You just have to accept the reality on ground and leave tomorrow talk for tomorrow

But they can invade Syria, Iraq, Libya and some other small countries because they are barbaric like Russia? The only thing stopping them is Russia nuclear capability. Remember, it also equally stopped them from attacking North Korea

Yes they also occupied Syria, Iraq, Libya and some small countries and annexed it as an extension of the USA

You know your mate when you see one. USA vs Russia, none of them will stand on her feet after the fight. It is not about being civil or compassionate because USA was never known for that, it is about respecting your equal mate, adversary

USA and Russia are not mates in everything technology, education, military,rule of law, democracy name it Russia is just doing agidi based on envy and jealousy... think am now if USA dey behave the same way as Russia things go spoil as per say USA is up while Russia is down and he who is down fears no fall

USA is a very wise country naw they can never reason the same way with Russia never USA is way up... Russia because of envy and jealousy wants to drag USA into the mud they are but USA won't act solely but with the alliance so it won't look like they (Russia) succeeded.... USA is a progressive nation but Russia wants war and war they will get allahkwa......... also I would love to live in the USA than Russia because my freedom is intact as in all these I am interacting on a forum like this if I were to be in Russia I would have been arrested and sent to Siberia

Israel has annexed most of the Palestinian territory and you might even be one their defendants. My point is that they're neighbours and there is always these claims to the sorrounding territories.
But that has nothing to do with the destructions that those invasions caused, that's the main point here

Ukraine without it’s eastern part is useless to EU or NATO. EU needs Ukraine’s east due to it’s industrial and fertile lands for growing things, NATO needs it’s sea port to have a base in the Black Sea or sea of Azor. Russia will take the east by all means necessary to stop all these even if they have to lose millions of soilders. Ukraine without it’s east will be a burden to EU and the last thing oyibo person need na something to stress them.

At the end of the day, Russia will be the winner and Ukraine the loser.

You just educated a lot of sheeples.

I still remember Putin words back in February, Putin made it clear that Russia was not going to go to war with NATO, but that in the event of an attack, there would only be one retaliatory strike. One.

The US has deployed the 101st Airborne today. These are attack US troops.

It is slowly going from "if" to "when"

Something big is coming....all eyes on the Med and the Balkans.

Well Russia sees everyone as equals and not subordinates…

Russia didn’t invade Africa to enslave our forefathers.

It’s Russia that helped South Africa against apartheid.

Russia revealed how Belgium and the west murdered Patrice lumumba

France was stealing Mali’s resources in the guise of solving Mali’s internal problem for a decade, they were kicked out by Mali’s government and they invited the Russians. What france couldn’t achieve in a decade in mali, Russia did in 6 months.

Russia defeated the nazi’s in WW2 there by killing the ideology of racial superiority, may be your likes will still be bundled to Europe in chains to your slave masters abode as an ignorant black man that you are.

I can go on and on….

If only you know the importance of Russia to the world, if only you read more books on history, if only you are well traveled, then maybe you won’t be ignorant.

@nairaland please we need cognitive testing especially in this political segment of the forum, we need intelligent assessment before one can comment or join this sensitive section.
too many ignorant people on leash on here.

Gaddamit!!! You really made my day. cool

Much of the people here on this thread are locked away in their slave mentality and gross inability to think for themselves. When people can't reason logically, the result is always catastrophic as evident in their sheer ignorant comments.

Many of these people don't even realize that this world need a balance of power as against unipolarism.

While there is racism everywhere, in Russia the police don't use black people for target practice. In the US, you're more likely to be killed as a black man than anywhere else in the world. But many of our brothers that has been zombified by Hollywood don't even realise this.

Spain just killed a lot of African migrants, and no one is talking about it. They are more CONCERNED with Ukraine, same country that pushed Africans away from boarding the trains to Poland when people were running away from the war during the initial stage of the Russian SMO.

At times when I read some of the comments on this section, I just shake my head and I started to understand why the white man always sees the black man as an inferior specie.

Imagine one comment here saying that "the US is too civil hence it has not invaded Russia", same US that destroyed Libya, Iraq, and has invaded more than 30 nations Killing millions of innocent people.

Same US that frustrated the Good luck Jonathan's government effort to combat Boko Haram, blocking us from buying weapons until Russia came to our rescue. While the Russians are no saints, this world need a balance of power, and it's pathetic seeing people reasoning on the basics of emotions rather than being pragmatic and logical.

It doesn't even dawn on most of the kids here that assuming NATO was dissolved following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine wouldn't been experiencing this war now. Libya would still have been intact and much of the Middle East wouldn't have been a hotbed for terrorism. Unfortunately, only few people reason this way.

Please use your thinking cap effectively next time. Europe is the biggest importer of russia oil and they have reduced this drastically, looks at the countries you mentioned that can't account for upto 10 % business transaction with Russia, Belarus is being fed by russia,Syria and Iran is battling serious inflation and what have you in their respective countries. One of China's biggest bank already cut off transactions with russia. Microsoft and all American software companies pulled out and you are here arguing blindly. Maybe you don't comprehend how macro economics works hence your assumptions just to support pootin. For your information Europe accounts for more than 50% of russia business transactions so if you are able to comprehend that then you will understand better.

Bro i see the western propaganda at work on you, first before you quote me on this particular topic on how macro or micro economics works, you need to step out of your bubble because without that, you cant see the outside picture.

Russia sales of oil and gas has been shifted to India and China. Do you know the west still buys from Russia indirectly? India buys the oil, refines it , changes the flag to Indian flag on the cargo ship then export it to these dumb European countries whom you are supporting. Who gains and who losses?

Poland used to buy directly from Russia, now Germany supplies Poland.. where do you think Germany buys from?

Do you know why they couldn’t agree to the sixth package of sanctions? Because Hungary opposed it, now most European countries buy from hungry, where do you think hungry buy from?

Last I checked, India, Germany and Hungary are not oil producers, neither are they in OPEC but they are increasingly exporting gas and oil to European countries and cashing out?

I know they don’t teach you this on the empire of lies news stations.

Mind you Europe does not account for 50% of Russian economy neither do they account for 50% Russian business, stop this ignorance, Russia exports to Europe and USA, Europe is dependent on Russian exports that’s why there is a mirror effect on Europe as regards the sanctions.

So is American software companies the only one in the world? Russia is a self sufficient country, face reality and read books please… please my fingers are hurting cos it’s like I’m teaching a 2 year old how to read 1- 10.

Please read more books.

Here is what was posted by a representative of the Chinese foreign ministry below..

Let me add the news below I just got from sources outside western propaganda.
Behind the scenes, there are pieces being moved and at the end of the day, it’s all about interests of individual countries.

I know news like this, you don’t get on mainstream media. Your brain has been clouded and brainwashed with western propaganda and Hollywood where America saves the world right? Laughs.
(Mind you, America has never won any major war in history, you can quote me from any source and I’m ready to defend it)

The world has moved on from unilateral to multilateral, no more American hegemony, every country is sovereign and decide on what policy is best for their interest.

Remember, knowledge is power.

Well.. It should interest u that those that were responsible for the war crimes and the war itself were prosecuted.. The allies didn't want to make the mistake of the first world war by creating another treaty of Versailles which allowed the rise of Hitler and the Nazis

Also.. Don't even ignore the fact that Russia also took more of German scientists than the US
