Shascky33: At least, you're off the path of "the US has done it before". Regarding your points: 1) Ukraine is the easiest route to invade Russia. How is is this a reason to invade the country? Are you making reference to the proposed NATO membership? Russia invaded Ukraine when NATO has not even accepted the country. NATO had not gotten the unanimous vote to take in Ukraine (and would probably never get it) when Russia invaded the country and termed it peacekeeping. Besides, virtually all Russia's neighbors are NATO members already. But let's keep these aside, let's assume that was really the issue, the Ukrainian president has said more than once that they'd only join EU and drop the idea of NATO. So this NATO excuse is no longer valid. 2) The claim that these Russian speaking Ukrainians are killed in Ukraine is yet to be proved. Yes, they were internal crisis and they identified as the targets/victims just like Biafrans do in Nigeria. This does not in any way give Putin the right to invade the country except you're telling me these Russian speaking Ukrainians are Putin's responsibility (which would imply he never really accepted them being part of Ukraine). Fact is, Russian speaking minorities in Ukraine are Ukrainians as Yoruba speaking people in Benin Republic are Beninese. Therefore, invading a sovereign country is neither a solution nor Russia's responsibility. We have Hausas in Niger, Yorubas, etc. If these sets of people were to have issues in their countries, Nigeria's move would not be to disintegrate country on the basis of linguistic affiliation except, of course, if we've always had plans to take back certain parts of these countries. Let's not lie to ourselves, Putin has always wanted to get back these part of Ukraine from day one. First, it was Crimea and now DONBAS. We've seen his top military man say it. Ukraine is doing exactly what any country would do. No country in this world would ever sit back and watch another country disseminate it for any reason. None. I'll ignore all the name calling. I take it you guys don't know how to presents your argument free of fallacy. 1 Like 1 Share |

Shascky33: I asked the justification of Russia's aggression towards Ukraine and you wrote a paragraph attacking the West. You guys are incorrigible. The West might be a beast, but I'm sorry, you're not addressing the question. Leave it for those who have something to say about the war. 1 Like 1 Share |

gaby: Again, you did not answer the question. You are busy attacking the US and West. Whether they're justified or not does directly justify Putin. If I tell you yes, the US is a beast, how does that make it right for Putin to invade Ukraine? If all you can do is to keep mentioning where the US has gone wrong, then it's obvious you can't come up with logical points to back up Putin's war. You cannot justify A's aggression towards B on the basis that C is a hypocrite. That's not how logic works. 1 Like 1 Share |

Allisgud:Oga, I doubt ohh. Nna Nigeria na hellfire abeg. E bad e bad, e still better pass naija. Eg shop I entered and bought a pack of bottled water for 3.50, the Asian said last week it cost 1.50, well people have the option of drinking tap water which is still better than our own pure water. Increase in diesel cost has made transportation more expensive as that is what is used to power trucks that move consumer goods. Despite that, I assure you say e still better pass for here. I know about 3 naija families weh just come here rent houses for 2-3 months just to clear their head. My bloda, if you fit afford am, once in a while leave Naija relocate small, even if na 2 weeks, take am clear your head. I pass doha for Qatar, omo, I just de shake head, I see that train Lagos, porth Harcourt, don de build for how long, Nna the train de move inside airport taminal ewo, when I see train inside house, I Wan run, madam hold my hand, say stand! Be a man! (sic). 1 Like

etrange:Come off it and stop sounding emotional, I don't care about that sh*t.. Don't put language aside because it changed everything... We're more western centric and moving there mainly because of the language barrier.. Each country has it own rules and law, so don't expect to be treated like king when you do shit in middle east or expect them to change their way of life because you're living there... The goal has been clear from the beginning... Accept LPR and DPR as independent and declare neutrality never to join NATO... And I believe Russia has the right to aid DPR and LPR in their fight for independent after all Kosovo set the pace for it... I don't need to explain what happen in 2014 to you, no time for that... And also stop saying 1994 of how Ukraine transfer their nuclear weapons to Russia, I'm tired of listening to that... Russia controlled the codes needed to operate the nuclear weapons through electronic Permissive Action Links and the Russian command and control system, they're Russia's in the first place... Who ask whether you're America or Russia? Spare me all those your rants about anti-west sentiment in judging the Russia special military operation... Where were you when US and it NATO allies bombed Serbia to carve out Kosovo? NATO set the pace with Kosovo, Russia was only following their part with Donbass... Even UN secretary general couldn't find an answer to that because that's the truth... Maybe you can tell me the difference between Kosovo and Donbass... Meanwhile this is what Time magazine had to say about the massive bombing of the Serbs... Just like the Serb, a massive bombing will make way for peace in Donbass... 2 Likes

nedekid:the thing weak me my brother, this is your personal opinion, I personally go to the supermarket in the UK when it is about to close to get some seriously discounted food products, and if one's mortgage is fixed you travel around London on a scooter or bicycle then you can sail through this inflation rise seamlessly. 1 Like |
