He should stop blaming the west, he started the war thinking Ukraine will be gone within days.

Who could have imagined in 2022, when Ukraine's situation looked so hopeless that the United States offered to evacuate Zelensky and he famously refused, that a year later the Ukrainian people would have put up such a strong resistance, and the West would have given so much support for their efforts?

And that instead of Putin having a military parade in Kyiv, it would be Biden walking in the Ukrainian capital's streets.

Everything no be gra gra
shut up the west is a terrible cancerous disease eating up the globe, Putin is right is most of his sayings check the facts, the west is deceitful, decadent and fast declining, 30 nato nations against one nation still they are balling on,Ukraine is in ruins and eventually It would fell is just a matter of time, the truth stands with Russia and they would prevail at the end

I really want to engage you. Do not use China and NK.

Please link your submission to your Russia's argument.

What has "communism" got to do with your argument? I am interested to know.

And to debunk your claim about China, yes I have watched chinese revolt before. Here is your reference:

https://www.npr.org/2022/11/16/1137066103/in-southern-china-residents-revolt-against-covid-19-controls

The countries I mentioned have one thing in common and that's communism. Just like all communist states, it's very uncommon for it's citizens to revolt. You posted a link regarding Chinese revolt. Hope you also know the outcome of the revolt?

So, Ukraine needs ICBM to hit mainland Russia? According to your submission, It is because they (Ukraine) do NOT have ICBM that they have NOT hit Russia grin grin grin grin.

I am sorry but you love to drop words like "communism", "ICBM" without truly understand the dynamics.

I am still waiting for you to explain how you linked "communism" to our argument. You cannot just drop words and allow us to swallow it hook, line and sinker. I am waiting sir.

You know its only an ICBM that can do considerable damage in mainland Russia provided the missile makes it past Russia defence systems.

You think if Ukraine had missiles that would hit mainland Russia they would hold on this whole time without using it?

you don't understand. They tried joining NATO but US turned them down without any reason. It was there Russia realized US has made Russia an enemy of NATO to keep NATOs relevance flourishing because without any common enemy, NATO will die a natural death as no one is willing to fight wars or become an enemy of NATO.

So you understand why Russia is fighting this war. NATO and American imperialism seek to use Russia's close neighbors to get to Russia and breaking Russia into parts as an endgame to create the good atmosphere to stealing their oil 🛢️ like they did in Iraq and Syria and Libya.

Russia is too powerful to be defeated or crushed like Iraq otherwise America would've stepped in with boots on ground. The only thing keeping Americans at bay is Russia's military and nukes. US cannot risk fighting an enemy having almost equal brutal strength and mad abilities to strike back delivering devastating blows as well. They can't fight an ememy that could decimate their beautiful cities 😂 hence why they're using Ukraine as a pawn in the fight.


For those in doubt, kindly watch this video on this Facebook link below and hear things from the horse's mouth. You won't find this video easily on the net as they literally censored every legit news coming from Russia to keep the world away from knowing the truth behind Soviet/NATO and Russia's application to join NATO. US imperialism is a cancer to the world.

Permit me to educate you. Ukraine does NOT need ICBM - Intercontinental Ballistic Missile to hit Russia. They are neighbors, they share borders. They are not in different continents. If North Korea wants to hit US, an ICBM will be required as they are in different continents. The word "Intercontinental" means different continents.

Ukraine only needs long range missiles e.g ATACMS.

The weapons that Ukraine is currently using are being supplied by the West under the condition that none of the equipment and munitions will be used to hit any part of Russia. Ukraine guarantees this condition.

This is why Ukraine has not hit any part of Russia, and not because of what you typed.

Let me respond to the bolded one by one:

1. The western alliance is not up to 100 not to talk of over. That is a blantant exagerration by you.

2. Your strength as a Nation depends on the Quality of your friends on a global scale. The US invest heavily on its allies, and if attacked, all its allies will rise in unison to defend it. Russia too has alliance with countries like Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.

3. Proxy war is allowed. Russia used it against the US in Afghanisan. It is not a new thing.

4. The West do not want to crush Russia, but turn it into a pariah nation, which it is right now. The Westerner's soldiers and serious military assets are not involved. They are toying with Russia and making Russia to deplete its military resources. Do you know how many high grade military resources that Russia has wasted in Ukraine, to the point they have to be begging North Korea and Iran for help.

5. Despite high price of Crude oil last year, Russia economy still contracted by 2.1%. That is the result of the biting sanction. Russia is also forced to sell its oil on the cheap to India and China while spending heavily in the war. Russia is withering before our very eyes, Putin knows, and that is why he became reactionary by suspending START treaty with the US.

6. It is understandable for them to be careful. Russia is a nuclear armed nation. Russia too is careful by not striking any NATO land. When a missile landed in Poland, Russia quickly started explaining that it was not her that shot the missile; that was also being careful because as mad as Putin is, he would not want a direct conflict with NATO that is backed by the United States.

Ps: NATO is not involved in the conflict. Just individual countries that make up NATO are donating firepower to Ukraine.

Let me respond to your stupidity and brainwashed head.
Calling Russia president derogatory names won't change the outcome of what will happen in Ukraine not matter how many Western media you glued yourself to.

Even in as recent as America president speech in Poland, he said America has mobilized over 50 countries against Russia with everything including weapons and sanctions. The word everything means including media propaganda, training and encouraging terrorist act against Russia. As I type, Ukrainians are going through military training in Oklahoma as would any US soldiers. The same thing is happening in UK, Germany and a couple of more NATO countries. Don't also forget the admission of Stoltenberg that NATO has been training extremists in Ukraine to NATO standard since 2014. Germany Vice Chancellor Anal Baerbock openly admitted that they are at war with Russia.

To tell you the level of shock Russia has absorbed, NATO countries starting with their leader, the US and the rest minions openly admitted that they are low on ammunition. They have thrown almost everything they have in Ukraine except nukes and few others like America fighter jets and helicopters and one more type of drone.

Who told you Russia didn't make money from crude oil last year?! It is on record, if you care to look, that Russia has surplus from sales crude oil last year. And since then, Russia has basically divert its resources to Asia and other economies and put a caveat that Russia will not sell its products to any country that indicates price caps in their contract. Selling to India and China like you said for whatever price Russia likes is not your business, afterall China and India are both members of BRICS and India buy most of their weapons from Russia so nothing is lost here.

The truth is President Putin has not interest in killing Zelensky or shooting at any NATO country. He is more about the growth and development of his country and its citizenry which was evident in his today's speech by emphasizing on Russia domestic policies. While the President of the US is making fool of himself running around gathering terrorists and geopolitical thugs whilst the US is suffering from one mishaps to another, President Putin was talking about housing, infrastructure development, support for families, students, science, agriculture, etc all these wonderful are being done without borrowing and will not borrow because the balance sheet is good shape.
My advice, stay away from the Western media or at best read with caution because they are all but an extension of the West tools to demean their opponents even sometimes against their own, Donald Trump is a perfect example, it is now that the majority of Americans are now realising how much they were lied to about Hunter Biden and his laptop. Everything of the West in your hand is a tool that is being used and can be used against you at will. The seemingly harmless and free GPS was used in Ukraine including the new rave called Starlinks to carry out strikes. Imagine Nigeria suddenly find itself at war with Cameroun tomorrow and the US is on the side of Cameroun?! It will shock you to know that the US which is mostly about business and cutting corners for profit, may have been supplying intel to the various terrorists causing havoc in Nigeria. We see it playing out in Ukraine.

Which face saving speech?


Almost over 100 Western allies countries stood behind Ukraine more like a proxy war. Supplying them finances, weapons etc

Have they been able to defeat Russia? Have they chased Russia away from Ukraine with all the support


Russia have been almost on there own in the fight, but they are still strong


There economy is still standing strong


Russia have really tried despite all

And the opponents are still careful because Russia is a nuclear power House. So they are very very cautious



Shame no the catch you with this your post bro.... If Russia know the west will support Ukraine, why then attack Ukraine

Now, even with western support who still have the upper hand in this conflict? Russia!!!
They have the tanks, fighter jets, lond and short range missiles, air defense missiles etc,.... In fact the have every to fight a war. But yet they are still fumbling! Please shut up!

What would have happened if Ukraine was on a per with Russia on weapons capability?? They would have push back russians into Moscow.

At the beginning if this war, the west only supply Ukraine with small caliber weapons like antitanks missile and manpad etc.. Yet Ukraine forces use that to halt a major Russian invasion on Kyiv. What would have happened with the west had supplied, advanced weapons like, tanks, fighter jets, air defense systems, and long range surface - surface missile to the Ukrainians

Of course!
Ukraine had her internal political problems which led to the removal of the Ukrainian Russian puppet (just like the president of Belarus). This angered Putin and to "punish" Ukraine, he decided to annex Crimea and the assets to Russia. Ukraine was too small to be able to do ANYTHING about it.

This was the final straw that broke the relationship between Ukraine and Russia. Any blood link between Russia and Ukraine became broken. Since then, Ukraine had been scouting for alliances that could protect her from the big bully Russia.

USA was quick to step in. Overhauling the Ukrainian military and providing economic aid.

The hurt and bullied Ukraine found a new lover in USA's waiting arms, should she be stopped?

Russia lost East Germany to USA because of exactly this stupid attitude. Do you notice that USA never keeps malice with their strong enemies? Eg Germany and Japan are both close friends of USA, this is what Russia too should have been doing. But they like playing "strong man" at the expense of their neighbours

America's soldiers boots were not on ground in Ukraine. President Biden has extremely limited security. He even rode 10-hours in a train to Kyiv without the Air Force one.

It is reasonable that if President Biden would be going into Kyiv under that circumstance, they had to inform the Russia that he would be coming in to prevent any accident. That was not seeking permission. If they were seeking permission, they would have informed the Russia far ahead and waited for clearance from the Russia.

The US only informed the Russian few hours before Biden departed the US. It was to NOTIFY, and NOT to seek permission, which was reasonable under such a condition.


Whether dey seek permission or notify, d Crux of d mata is dey seek d consent of Russia.
Infact he had to even go by train. Why didn't he land in Ukraine in commando style?

Why did dey notify Russia? Did dey notify China wen pelosi went to Taiwan?

Maybe u dnt knw dat because of deir superpower status,both USA nd Russia seek permission from each oda in certain or different circumstances. Infact both countries signed a lot of pacts nd dey respect dose pacts.

It was there Russia realized US has made Russia an enemy of NATO to keep NATOs relevance flourishing because without any common enemy, NATO will die a natural death as no one is willing to fight wars or become an enemy of NATO.

The goal of Nato is to put the Germans down, the Americans in, and the Russians out. Lord Ismay (Nato's first Secretary General).

Allowing Russia to join Nato will destroy the above. Also, Russia is an empire (alongside China) masked as a country, so having two empires in a military alliance is like having a crocodile and a tiger in the same house. Mayhem will occur.

Also, the US sees all Natoś countries as potential customers for their massive military-industrial complex, and as of today, all Nato´ś countries (except Turkey and France) buy all their military weapons from the Americans. They will never share such a market with the Russians.

Also, in the long term, the sanctions and political uniformity that Nato countries bequeathed on Russia would be impossible if Russia is in the alliance. And empires by default are always looking to crush the other, so it's in American interest for Russia to be out of Nato, to make it easier to control and rally other nato countries against an enemy (eg Libya, Yugoslavia, Iraq, and now Russia).

In Nato, only the Russians can stop the Americans (just as the Russians stopped the US from destroying Syria). Russia is huge, powerful, an empire state, and a nuclear power. The only country that could have stood up to the US in Nato is Germany and France, but after the second world war when they lost, then the US made sure it got the Germans by the balls, for them to always be a vassal to them.

Putin's hands is itching to use nukes. For the sake of the whole world nobody should dare him to do that because if nukes are involved the world is doomed. The West is playing the long game that's whey they've not given Ukraine ICBMs or any other kind of weapons that will hit mainland Russia. Forget the longtalks and egos bigger than cruise ships being displayed. No one has enough balls to use nukes as almost all the countries that have nukes have a no-first-strike policy
exactly, many forget that if the roles were reversed and the power dynamic was moved to a nazi country like the united states they would have wasted no time to nuke the opposing country just for the sake of doing so, they have done it in the past to japan. Many western sympathisers here know nothing about history to understand that the west is a big enemy to the world
