I beg go and relax, your claims are just bogus claims. Finland once defeated Russia.
When did Finland defeat Russia? You guys will not read but come here and spew rubbish. The Russia-Finnish war ceased in March 1940 with the signing of the Moscow Peace Treaty in which Finland ceded 9% of its territory to the Soviet Union. While soviet lossses were heavy how did they lose when Finland gave up territory they needed. I dare you to present counter information. You will spew trash then shut up when they give you hard facts. Respond now I am waiting. Nonsense

What weakness? In two weeks he has achieved all his strategic objectives (Ask me what they are and I will explain or do your research). I also hope you realise he is being very tactical to minimize civilian casualties? About 260 dead so far. Look Ukraine is an ant compared to the Russian Bear. Even the entire baltic states combined will take less than ten in an all out conventional war by Russia. Peace

grin grin cheesy

The word in the bible holds true for many Nigerians...
My people perish for lack of knowledge

A lot of people just live on this earth without understanding their environment....

Nigeria and the Government is the cause of everything wrong with them and their lives ....

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a39338671/us-gas-prices-skyrocketing-future/..

Due to the sanctions the USA and its Allies are leveling against Russia the second largest producer of crude oil ....The cost of all the components of crude oil has gone up by as much as 50% in majority of countries that import stuffs like Aviation fuel, diesel and petrol....

In Nigeria... unlike sensible countries.... petrol is still been subsidies but kerosene and diesel is not and therefore when there is an increase in the open market....it shows here....


Nigerians should learn to seek for the right information instead of just shouting up and down like fools without knowledge cursing themselves and their country...

The bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge....what you don't know will make everyone know you are a fool

But if Petrol can be sold in the USA that has oil just like majority of Nigerians claim they have for $2-$3 per litre which is approximately 950-1350 naira per litre... I don't understand why we still selling at 165 naira per litre ....

It's suicide and we are killing ourselves gradually....

Please correct yourself. It is not per litre but per gallon which is about 4 litres. Average price per litre in the US before this crisis was about 350 naira. Thanks

Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Hits Back At Western Sanctions, 48 Countries Will Be Affected by alabo1: 6:15pm On Mar 10, 2022
OreMI22:
Lol......Russia is imposing sanctions on USA. grin grin grin

The sanction thing works like a fight between a billion-dollar conglomerate and a tiny company.
Using Nigeria as an instance, Dangote conglomerate can stop buying sugar cane from a major farmer in Jos, and also influence other buyers not to buy the farmer's produce. To make up the shortfall, it could invest in farmers in Cameroon or Benin to supply it with Sugar cane.

Of course the farmer can fight back by refusing to buy Dangote cement for his one-room shack construction project. However in reality, Dangote can ruin the farmer by blocking 100% of its income while the farmer cannot even hurt 1% of Dangote's business in Jos alone.

Russia is about the size of Texas's economy. Worse still, it is not as innovative as Japan in high-tech goods critically needed in the USA. Therefore, it has almost nothing EXCEPT GAS! Unfortunately, it cannot afford to stop selling its oil and gas because 100% of its income comes from there too. Not to mention that USA has its own abundant oil and gas supplies too.
Russia has a mixed economy,[301] with enormous natural resources, particularly oil and natural gas.[302] It has the world's eleventh-largest economy by nominal GDP and the sixth-largest by PPP. In 2017, the large service sector contributed to 62% of the total GDP, the industrial sector 32%, and the small agricultural sector roughly 5%.[5] Russia has a low unemployment rate of 4.3%.[303] Russia's foreign exchange reserves are worth $638 billion, and are the world's fourth-largest.[304] It has a labour force of roughly 70 million, which is the world's sixth-largest.[305] Russia's large automotive industry ranks as the world's tenth-largest by production.[306]

Please give correct information when posting here. Russia is not all about Oil and Gas. She has a thriving Services sector as you can see from above. Also she is the second largest seller of Military hardware in the world.

Also using PPP (purchasing power parity) which is the current form of measuring GDP Russia has the 6th Largest economy in the world bigger than California and Texas.

Foreign AffairsRe: Russian Economy In ‘shock’ Over Western Sanctions, Says Kremlin by alabo1: 2:41pm On Mar 10, 2022
emmanuelbrown26:
According to Putin Nairaland crew, West can go to hell and Russia won't feel any heat at all.
When u tell people that somethings can never change, na West and America get power. Hate them like them, their is nothing any other continent can do about it.
People don't know the economic implication of sanction, until they know it, that's when they would understand. Two racist countries.
Read and understand English you will not. Nobody ever said they will not feel it. However what we have always maintained is that there will not be a total collapse. China, Iran, Venezuela are all examples with various levels of coping with sanctions. China even built her space station while under strict sanctions on space tech by the West (sanctions that still exist till date). I hope you know her economy is projected to grow by 5% this year (while under new sanctions imposed by Trump and maintained by Biden)?
Sanctions work in different ways depending on the country. Russia is honest. They will suffer yes but emerge stronger. Remember they have been under sanctions since 2014 after Crimea and we're still the 6th largest economy in the world prior to this. Food for thought.

Peace.

hopefulLandlord:
I want them to be fair by banning sales in USA, England and Saudi Arabia next for what they did in Yemen where hundreds of thousands have died and 5 million children are starving and malnourished. USA for what they did to Iraq while under the excuse of imaginary WMD being present there, France for what they did and are still doing in Africa, NATO countries for what they did in Libya, Israel for the ethnic cleansing they keep doing to Palestine, Turkey for what they're doing to Syria and China for what they did to Uyghurs but I won't be holding my breath because these countries that are attacked aren't white dominated

Remember kids only European and white Lives matter. all you need is the full support of the west and you can do anything. Invade, occupy and steal the wealth of a nation and face no consequences. Illegally occupy houses and literally no consequence, other European countries will just release a "we condemn this" message and be done with it. Who cares they are brown people.

But if a nation goes against the west and starts killing white people. Oh the horror. Human rights, war crimes, these words will be thrown around and you will get high sanctions, gets you banned from various things. Only cause it affects white people.

Ok this is Russia's loss, Have u ever imagined Ukraine's loss?
This war is grossly underreported, if Russia with all its military artilleries are losing this much then probably quarter of Feeble, half baked ,slightly arm-less crying Ukraine have been wiped of. By
These loss reports are from Ukrainian press. Take them with a Jar of Salt. As of last week Russia confirmed 500+dead. It is not possible for an additional 11000 to have died between then and now. Also all the reports of tank columns being destroyed have not been confirmed by independent sources. Peace

Where will they see the much needed capital funding to embark on such businesses when their ruble is now worth less than a penny and their stock market has more or less ceased to exist?

Hunger in the land is loading from all fronts.

If you know any Nigerian in Russia try and reach out to them so they can read the scores to you in real time cheesy
Russia has 620 billion in cash reserves. Also note that she is still getting revenue from Oil and Gas Sales (even from Europe) and trade with non-aligned partners. She is actually making more money now with higher prices. The value of the ruble to the dollar is not the sole indicator of the state of an economy. Moreover Russia has since achieved minimal dependence on Western capital.

It will be tough but ultimately she will be fine due to the unavoidable dependence on her for Energy by Europe and China and her expanded trade relations with the latter.peace

Thanks bro. Most people don't know this. Russian export of petroleum products to America is less than 5% of its sales volume. It is only Europe that constitutes between 45-60% depending on the product that will bother Russia. However even that will be mitigated by the 30 sales deal signed with China before the so called war started with advance payments guaranteed. Peace

I hope you know that the US as the world super power is still better for the world. Russia being a joint super power is to keep things under check to prevent the US and NATO from having absolute power that corrupts absolutely. We already saw what that did in Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia, Iraq etc.

Neither Russia, nor China will be a better super power than the US. The problem so far has been some individuals who tend to hijack and use the instruments of power (using political groupthink and majority tyranny) to further their own parochial agenda over the whole of mankind.
Your assumptions make no sense. How many countries have China overthrown since WW2 compared to the US? The most aggressive and disruptive nation the World has ever seen is the US. However due to media control, propaganda and manipulation they have been able to convince the unenlightened to believe their usual lies of promoting democracy, human rights etc.

Why are they silent on Yemen?

China on the other hand is only interested in Trade and economic relations. They are not interested in your form of government, economic model etc but mutual economic interests. I will always choose a country that lets others follow their own path. Peace

If not the iron hand given to them, only God knows what they would be capable of by now.
When they attacked twin tower new york. Putin told them that nothing will save them from the calamities they have melted on themselves now. The invasion is the calamity.
Another wrong post. Of the 9/11 attackers non were from these countries. The bulk were Saudi Arabian. Yet no sanctions were placed on the Kingdom. Osama was finally liked in Pakistan. Nothing happened because she is a nuclear power. Saudi Arabia is one the most extremist Islamic nation yet due to Oil she is in bed with the West. Remember Kashogi? Nothing was done to the Saudis. Imagine if that happened in a Russian or Chinese embassy. Let us be logical please.

You people's ignorance never ceases to amaze me. When Russia courted Cuba in 1962 and built missile bases there did the US not threaten Nuclear War (I hope you have even heard of the Cuban Missile Crisis?). Despite the fact that that crisis was caused by America putting Jupiter Missiles in Turkey and Italy?. Was Cuba not a sovereign country? Have you heard of the Monroe Doctrine practices by the US that prevents any nation from having military bases in her hemisphere?

Why don't you ask yourself why NATO and in fact every western power including your almighty US has made it clear they will never be involved millitarily in Ukraine?

Russia will get what it wants. Nothing can stop that. In fact they are using restraint to ensure minimal casualties. They have met all their strategic objectives which is taking over the eastern seaboard of Ukraine where all the warm sea ports are. Final objective is Odessa. Those who understand geopolitics know what I am talking about. Keep listening to CNN and blab rubbish.

For those of you that don't know Venezuela. She is the country with highest oil deposit in the world but thanks to USA, they are unstable, destabilised and witness tons of USA sponsored coups/attacks on their presidency whenever they are trying to make progress to stop/push USA out.
Did I forget to tell you ignoramuses that they are "independent?" Yes they are but such (Democracy and Independence) doesn't matter when it is USA.


You only support the West/USA when you know nothing, or being controlled by their media.
Read you won't read. Even if they boycott Russian Oil (US and Japan) it makes no difference. The rising cost of oil and gas will ensure Russian revenues will not reduce. In fact it will increase. Secondly Venezuelan Oil is heavy and costs more to process which will mean increased cost to the end user in America and Japan si it is not a long term solution.

That's the simple truth. Once Putin is done with Ukraine, he'll go afta Georgia and other countries jus the same way Germany did that led to WWII. Putin wants a change of govt that he didn't succeed with in 2014. The whole NATO angle is jus a distraction as there was no agreement whatsoever not to expand eastwards during the Unification of Western and Eastern Germany. Moronic Pro-Putin commentators who claim there was an agreement between Russia and Ukraine in 1990 have no idea the USSR dissolved into so many countries including Russia and Ukraine
For 20 years he did not try to own Ukraine but lived peacefully with them.

It was the West that continuously taunted him with NATO expansion. They tried in 2014 and failed leading to the Crimean crisis. They tried last year in Belarus. Now they have come through Ukraine again. Let the US accept Russian missiles in any country in their hemisphere first. Rubbush

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Skylab was not a modular space station. In its first version it was not even crewed. The first modular space station in the world was MIR. Do your research please.

Is it so hard to accept Russia is superior in certain aspects of technology (Missile, nuclear and Space) than the US?. Haba

Most of ISS parts were built in the US.

As for the use of Russian rockets to send astronauts to ISS. you're right but remember that it was because the Space shuttle used prior to that was retired because it was aging. So it was a logistic issue not because America was too dumb to have their own rockets.
Most of the ISS being built in America is wrong. The modules for each country were built in America, Moscow, Germany, Japan and Canada respectively.

My point is the core technology for propulsion,life support etc were of Russian origin based on their experience with the MIR station. Peace
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Suspends Sale Of Rocket Engines To US: "Let Them Fly On Brooms" by alabo1:
JohnBullMySon:
Ode. 80% of the international space station was built by the US.
Your ignorance and the 110 people who liked your post is appalling. Fact the bulk of the Technology used on the ISS is Russian based on the MIR Soviet space station built in 1986 and decommissioned in 2001. It was the first of its kind(modular). America at the time had no functional space station and in fact their Skylab Stations which ceased operations in the 70's had limited operating time before decommissioning. Lacking the technical knowledge to build a modular space station they invited Russia and other countries to participate in their new space programme.
As the country with the most experience and tech in space technology Russia provided the bulk of the technical know how that is why there are two sections till date- The Russian section used by Russia alone and the American section used by America, the EU and Japan.

I hope that you know that prior to Musk's Space x which made its first launches last year America had no way of sending astronauts to space without using Russian rockets? Even there current Programme is based on Russian rockets hence the ban by Russia.
Furthermore till date the bulk of satellites sent to space by America and the West use Russian rockets.

Let us please read and post informed comments on this platform. It is becoming a nuisance reading baseless statements on a forum that is meant to be educative. Peace
