saxywale2:

You forgot to tell us how East Germany was literally a shit hole under Soviet occupation compared to the propserous West Germany.

True that. But my point is that Germany has no mind of its own. They are forced to be allies against Russia.

SaLongs1:
it was and is better to live under the yoke of capitalism rather than the terror of Soviet communism which is why the citizens of Ukraine chased out Victor Yanukovitch from power for a more pro Western one.

True that. Citizens prefer capitalism to socialism. But Yanukovitch still had his support base especially in the Donbass being liberated.

Please shut up

I am actually disappointed as well....I just don't know why they are fighting like they are afraid of Ukraine despite d amount of hate d country is showing them...if they did 'shock & awe' like NATO usually does, dis shyt would have being over a few months back...NATO sees how soft Russia is in this conflict, dats why they keep pouring weapons in...I like Russias new general better

All his doing is a strategy! They thought he will finish the war quickly in matter of weeks (3-4 weeks Max) and now castigate Russia for life but they stupidily divulge their strategy by showing they want to cancel and annihilate Russia.

Hence, the slow war which eating up the west economy and media propaganda! Every intelligence know Russia is playing! And the long the war drags on, the higher the cost for both sides.

The funniest part to me is the mumu media propaganda, one day, they will tell us, how elite in Kremlin is angry how Putin is too lenient to the war because they have capacity to inflict maximum damage than their present results and the next day, they will tell us how counteroffensive is claiming lands than Russia
When it's obvious! Every where they claimed to have gotten back was direct order to withdraw! Kherson, Mauriopul and zapo.. is clear sign they withdrawn at will and fight where they don't want to leave!

Matlock, a former US ambassador to old USSR said that "The reality is that if the war continues Russia is capable of damaging Ukraine more than Ukraine can damage Russia without risking a wider war". And that exactly, what's happening!

Nonsense USA plus nato could not defeat Afghanistan they all ran away from Afghanistan farmers.

LastProphet:


How did the US brainwash Ukraine can you pls explain? Did they ask Ukraine to come and apply for NATO membership? Did they ask Ukraine go and fight Russia we will army you? Or what and how exactly did US brainwash Ukraine? But not only Ukraine why do all of Russia's neighbors eager to join NATO have you asked yourself? Have you asked why Russia is so huge it shares border with 4 continents? So tell me exactly how the US caused this problem?

At the June 2021 Brussels summit, NATO leaders reiterated the decision taken at the 2008 Bucharest Summit that Ukraine would become a member of the Alliance with the NATO MAP as an integral part of the process and Ukraine's right to determine its own future and foreign policy course without outside interference.

You see? You don’t know anything. You rely on west media propaganda and that’s foolishness. Did CIA tell you they didn’t know America and NATO would send weapons and billions of dollars to Ukraine? If you want to have real understanding of the world situation, never you rely on west media. It’s all about propaganda. The media lied Russia is loosing out but still Russia annexed four regions and already ordered martial laws in the regions. Do you know what it means? No you won’t know bro and I don’t expect you either.

Moymoy:


To be frank, they are not as developed. A number 2 or number 3 military nation should have placed high tech assets on the battlefield and wrapped up the Ukraine invasion in a month. All I am seeing is world war 2 tanks and last generation jets.
They have nuclear technology, yes, but they are not keeping pace with the rest of the west.

The west was counting on Russia to use it's advance weaponry to cripple Russia,but my man Putin only used scraps to fight Ukraine .
The west know that Russia still has her advance weapons and still beating Ukraine.
Putin wise o

His support base should not be used to destabilise the whole country, which is why I don't support Donald Trump either. No single individual should be above the institution of the state as that is a one way ticket to dictatorship as we are witnessing in Russia.

I would suffer from the CIA than what the KGB would do to secure a dystopian dictatorship. I don't know how you get your news sha because your views are rather warped up.

Jaycee07:


It certainly will. Mercedes Benz in Russia hired mostly
Russians, paid taxes to Russian government and provided streams of both direct and indirect logistical supply chain that created Revenues to Russian Government. So yes it definitely will affect them . $ 2 billion investment pulling out of a country with $ 1400 billion is a whole lot.And let’s be clear, by the time you add all the ancillary supply chain businesses to it, it goes up way more than that. No country in the world thrives in isolation.

bro it doesn't work that way, or do you think it's Nigeria, u can't just pull out investment and sack all workers just like that, u can only sell your shares but the company and economy continues running,
example is ShopRite Nigeria, they left 9ja long ago but all ShopRite outlet in Nigeria are still functioning and workers fully intact..
Secondly Russian sale from oil and gas alone is very huge despite all sanctions placed against her.
And thirdly how is possible to isolate a country that spawn all the way from Asia to Europe, a country with scares natural resources,, up till today, USA still buy uranium from Russia for their nuclear reactors, and yet they claim Russia is isolated

Did it occur to you that such a move might be exactly why US is supporting Ukraine. To get the opportunity to count what russia has. US just tested hypersonic missiles, which we all learnt Russia had in march. So russia is not stupid using old weapons and dragging the war.

Putin created this problem for his people.

He should thank China for filling in the gap a bit, without China Russia will become another Sri Lanka.

In terms of what exactly?

I have been blessed to visit all the place you listed below outside Chicago and Dallas... Which of these cities you listed is better than or more beautiful than cape Town South Africa?

People that work in silicon valley can't pay rent where dem dey work and all of them dey go the bay area for even yet expensive rent and living with druggies all over the street and dirty streets, living as roommates with others to save cost in rent... Hollywood lol...whats in Hollywood outside movies? There is Nollywood and Bollywood... NY is another rat infested city in their subways, poverty especially amongst the black people with crime left right center, sometimes you are in Oshodi in ny... Miami, lol I can name you over a 100 cities outside the USA that's way better than Miami... New Orleans is just new Orleans, as a black man you are safer in Nigeria when you meet police than in new Orleans... Broadway lol, there are billions of quality theaters all around the world... Atlanta is a black town with lots of blacks make higher income compared to all other places in the US, no better than Detroit where lots of blacks live in dirt and poverty like crazy ....Houston is just another Nigeria ... DC is another Abuja where free money are spent and distributed i.e. some Americans call it curruption city....lastly Chicago...lol...even Obama run away from his home town Chicago where babies and little children are killed everyday by gun violence.

Russia the biggest country in the world is a living history... Russia is a country that can self sustain itself from food to everything if required... And history have taught me men like you will never learn from history... Again use silicon valley and Google do your research about Russia... I won't spoon feed you as you are an adult.

The day the hundreds of thousands of Russians and chinese and Indians silicon valley decide not to go work that's when you will understand silicon valley does not exist without them.

Even Americans dey fight amongst themselves that their cities and country is messed up.

See this one. He is told to name how many like
places are in Russia and his response is Cape Town!
Is that Russia? Even then how many Cape Towns are in South Africans?

The point is, so many world-class, world-impactful places and affairs concentrated in one country.
Add to that things like the dollar, movies, music, freedom, non-censorship, democracy, etc. Even things like richest cities, richest individuals, etc. There are simply no bases for comparison

Brother May I ask you a question? With all the acclaimed sales of crude oil and her tech know how, what’s Russia GDP per capita at 2022? About 9500 USD.
Compare that to countries in Western Europe, not to talk about USA. I think Russia is actually overrated.Don’t you agree?
