Who are you to challenge the Pope? He knows better than you, he loves Ukraine and Russia more than he loves you. He knows what he is saying, Russia is an invincible nation as at present. And it's clear that they are winning the war hence the need to stop the extermination of the Ukrainian people. One of the aims of invading Ukraine is to demilitarise them hence going to Kiev

Demilitarized a sovereign country?

Can you even listen to yourself?

You are too sentimental

Lanre1st:


Ukraine 🇺🇦 has lost a lot and still counting, USA who stylishly drag them to war in the name of NATO has abandoned them in the midst of war. And you are still said they should not gree.

Negotiation with Russia not to join NATO should be alternative

Who told you that it's Ukraine membership bid to join NATO is the sole reason for the war?

Should Ukraine forfeit all her territories that Russia is occupying?

GlobeTrotter2:
I don't think it's unjust. Ukrain wanted to join NATO. That is a big threat to Russia

Do you know what happened to Cuba because they aligned with Russia? Cuba is just 75Km from Miami. Till today they are still under serious sanctions. To buy common sweet or milk,you need to line up for more than one hour. Their cars are still oldsmobile. I have been there and seen it.myself. what US is doing to that country is so unfair and unjust.

My point is US knows the danger of Russia in their backyard. Why will they expect Russian to accept thesame

Zelenaky is the most foolish president. Led his people to an unwinnable war. The man thinks its a movie. Now they will have to come to the table to negotiate after thousands of men are dead. Stupid

From this I can say that Russia was the one that showed the US the way to go about encircling your your enemy.
US learnt from Russia with the Cuba crisis issue and now they are doing the same back to Russia.

It's a shame how zellensky allowed US to turn his country into the location for a proxy war on Russia.
It's a bigger shame zellensky was campaigned on the premises that he would reduce hostilities between Ukraine and their neighbors, Russia.

For those who don't understand what this war is about, how safe would you feel is you see your neighbor start to befriend someone who has sworn to murder you and your family?

In all this, it's the innocent Ukrainians I pity and at the end of this all, Ukraine won't have an armed force anymore

You are wrong. Zellensky did nothing shameful.
It's true that he caved in to the wills of the most powerful nations but there is no shame in that.
Like all of us, he probably made many bad decisions but under such pressure who wouldn't.
In this war, no one seems to be making the right decision. Not Russia, not the EU and not the US

Not until Russia fully pays the price, to rebuild Ukraine......

Until then...... The fight must continue...... Ukraine must not give up now..... All those lost lives for nothing...... MBA.....😀

You're the ignorant fellow here. How should you expect a nuclear power Nation to agree to its backyard neighbour joining NATO so that its arch enemies can come and establish missile bases and force it to surrender? You think Russia is your Nigeria? So who started the trouble in the first place? Can you see how ignorant you are now? So nothing will happen and Egypt will just come and invade Nigeria? Are the Egyptians mad or high on Kwale weed?

Ignorant Buffon. Let me lecture you a little;

1. Ukraine, as a sovereign nation has the right to decide to join ANY association they deem fit. That is why they are a sovereign nation. The decision whether or whether not to join Nato is a decision only Ukrainians can take and no Nation on earth has the right to attack another country because the country desires to join an association.

2. Why didn't Russia attack Sweden and Finland when they made their plans to join Nato? Sweden has joined Nato. Finland joined Nato few days ago. Why didn't Russia attack these countries?. The ignorant fool doesn't even know that Nato already has military bases close to Russia. Poland, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania all share boarders with Russia and they are all Nato members.

Before Finland joined NATO, NATO had land borders with Russia that spanned 754 miles across northern Norway, eastern Latvia and Estonia, and the borders with Poland and Lithuania around Russia's Kaliningrad region.

Finland joining adds 830 miles of continuous border along northwestern Russia, taking the total to 1,584 miles. So, how did Russia invading ukraine prevent other countries from joining Nato? Nato is now in Russia's backyard like never before. Cry me a river! 😅😅😅

In the German phonecall that was tapped by Russia a few days ago, the German generals even mentioned that UK has troops on ground in Ukraine.

Ukraine should not gree for anybody, they have lost enough to just yield for free.

If Russia must win, let them win in a costly way.

Japan was an ally of Germany, Italy during the world war II, and they first attacked US naval base "The Pearl Harbor" as a show of solidarity to their ally Germany/Hitler, US only retaliated but with maximum force which led to the Hiroshima bombing.


US didn't invade Syria, Syria was already fighting an internal civil war between the ruling government and some factional groups trying to oust the ruling President of Assad. Syria then became a den of Islamic terrorists using there as a launchpad to carry out terrorist attacks in Iraq, etc via ISIS cum ISIL. US after 9/11 have a constitutional obligation to go after any terror group wherever they are to keep their homeland and citizens and investments scattered all over the world safe, so US was only helping a side in Syria to decimate the terror groups, not that US woke up to invade Syria without provocation.


The only place US did an unjust invasion was in Iraq on mere suspicion that Sadam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction, which I did condemned back then, and their target was to destroy it and oust Saddam Hussein from power unlike Russia that invaded Ukraine their neighbor to grab lands and to expand Russian territory, hope you can see the difference?


Libya's case was just a target by NATO to remove Gaddafi for sponsorship terrorists attacks on NATO countries that killed hundreds of civilians. Go and read about it, Gadaffi is a known terrorist sponsor who didn't hide it. He sponsored the terrorists that bombed Italian embassy, and many more that I cant remember, use Google. So when Libya started having an internal political crisis that resulted to a civil war, NATO seized the opportunity to support Gadhafi's opposition to remove Gaddafi, they didn't send ground troops, they didn't even wake up to invade Libya, Libya was already at war within itself.



Please mark the difference, dont let your hatred for US to cause you to lose your humanity.


Russia use to be my favorite country until Putin invaded Ukraine unjustly just on mere suspicion that Ukraine wanted to join NATO whereas Putin is only using that as an excuse to invade Ukraine to grab lands and expand Russian territory.


If Putin invaded Ukraine to stop them from joining NATO, then he ought to seize fire now as he has taught them enough lessons and NATO after this will never admit Ukraine into NATO, but instead Russia is busy grabbing Ukraine land and claiming they invaded Ukraine to stop them from joining NATO, does it make sense to you?

the undertone of what you have op-ed is thus, NATO is the good guys while the others are the bad guys. Only the naïve interprets conflict as good vs evil rather than what it actually is; a conflict of interest. Russia is following the precedent set by NATO in invading Ukraine. for example, lets go down memory lane
1) NATO intervene in Yugoslavia without approval from the UNSC under the guise of protecting civilians from genocide. Russia claimed it intervene in the Donbass to protect the civilians majority of whom are Russians from been targeted.
2) NATO annex Kosovo from Serbia, again without the approval of the UNSC. they did this with a scam referendum. Russia annex Crimea with 90% Russian population after a referendum too .
3) the united state invaded Afghanistan under the pretext of confronting security threat, Russia claim similar reasons for its special military operation.
4)The united state again illegally invaded another sovereign country which is Iraq under a spurious, fraudulent charges of possessing WMD.
5) the united state is currently occupying part of Syria illegally( coincidentally, that is the oil producing area) under the pretext of fighting terrorist.
6) the united state together with Israel is carrying out an ethnic cleansing of the population of Gaza under the pretext of fighting Hamas despite the ICJ ruling it a case of plausible genocide.
the reason why international law cannot be applied in the Ukraine war is because the united state has undermined the institutions by taking illegal unilateral actions. it is for this reasons nations in the global south refuse to place sanctions on Russia because they can see the hypocrisy.

You have to understand that world powers have an unwritten control over the countries close to them. Even America and UK does that. There is an island that UK took which belongs to Argentina and till today, UK refuses to give it back. Some of the states in US belonged to Mexico and US hasn't returned them back. The difference is that The West control the media so they hide their evil deeds.

Now the war between Russia and Ukraine won't have been prevented with Ukraine having nukes. What you don't seem to realize is that Russia isn't using it's full might on Ukraine. Russia has the most number of Nukes and if Ukraine uses Nuke, there would not be a UKRAINE anymore.

You are not conversant with the issues at stake in the Ukraine conflict.........Eastern Ukraine (the Dunbass region) ,crimea,Odessa and Kharkiv are historically Russian regions.........These regions were gifted in part to ukraine under the soviet union, unfortunately under the sorcery of the western powers ukraine started causing problems for the Russian speaking peoples of these regions, they stopped them from speaking their native russian and stared renaming their towns...........the whole thing led to a war in 2014 and the russian invasion 2 years ago! Russian knows and understands war..............they defeated sweden,france ,britain and Germany in different wars...so do not try scaring them with war o! Russian enemies are the ones to be scared sef!

I understand the point you are making, but my point is, stop justifying evil against a different set of people just because you hate the actions of another entirely different person.


You are justifying Russia's invasion of Ukraine just because you believe USA did something similar, that is wickedness. I condemn US actions in certain places like Iraq especially.


I do not have full knowledge of the Kosovo and Yugoslavia wars, so I can't talk about those. What is happening in Gaza was self inflicted by Hamas even though Israel have gone overboard but who started the trouble? Mind you, I am not saying because Russia invaded Ukraine therefore Israel have the right to invade Gaza. These are different people, different countries.


I am judging mine on case by case scenario, I am not supporting whatever US did in the past or doing, I am not comparing US or NATO with Russia, I am only calling evil the evil it is.


What Russia did to Ukraine is complete evil, invaded them without provocation even after taking Crimea and other areas.


I wish Israel could seize fire and allow for negotiations and possibly give chance for a two state solution.


I am all for peace and I hate injustice. Wherever US did injustice I condemn it and pray they reap the reward, the same way I totally condemn Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine on mere suspicion of joining NATO yet they haven't seized fire even after massacring thousands of Ukrainians which have served as enough warning not to join NATO, but because Russia is on a mission to grab land, they have refused to withdraw and let peace reign and here you guys are supporting such cruelty just because you hate US and whatever you feel they did to other countries, where is your humanity?



If Russia wants to teach US a lesson, why cant they summon courage and invade or attack US so we can laugh at US together and point our finger that shebi una de do am to other countries since? Why must you be happy that Russia is killing Ukrainians an entirely different country and different people just because you believed US did similar thing to other countries, where is your conscience?

Ukraine didn't join NATO, they were not even close because the process is long and they haven't met some of the basic requirements.


The invasion of Ukraine by Russia was unjust.


If Ukraine had joined then it's a different thing. NATO kept assuring Russia that Ukraine wasn't going to join, even Turkey refused and Turkish President assured Putin that he wouldn't ratify Ukraine membership which meant Ukraine wasn't going to join.


Putin is a vampire, but many of you Muslims just love Putin and whatever senseless actions he takes just because you guys hate USA.


I am not talking about USA here, I am concerned about Ukraine, invading their sovereign land unprovoked on mere suspicion that they want to join NATO when some NATO strong members already assured you that they wouldn't ratify Ukraine's membership to NATO was the highest form of cruelty and inhumanity of man to fellow man, stop supporting evil please

Go back and read up on how NATO started and how many country members they had and what was promised at the commissioning of NATO.
Now go again and check the number of member countries NATO has now.

When you have done that, now come and tell us why Russia should believe any "gentleman statement they make now when they have never kept to any gentleman agreements made in the past.
After making and breaking promises time after time, you expect Russia to take any chances?

There are always compelling arguments one way of the other. Russia had the choice of not going into war.
The world always knew that Russia was very strong. On the contrary, this war exposed Russians weaknesses.
Imagine Russia the second Strongest military not being able to make any important battlefield gains in over a year and not having air dominance over the course of the war. We all expected much more from Russia.
