Themandator: Freeze and seize are two different things. Russia isn’t Nigeria or Afghanistan and America or any other country can’t seize Russian money. Also, GDP doesn’t make you richer in the real sense of it because if dollars becomes devalued (which is what would happen eventually) - it becomes worthless. Wealth is measured by resources and Russia is the most resource rich country in the world. Petrodollar is slowly but surely going to die soon. And once China and Russia create an alternative to SWIFT - that’s the game changer and GDP won’t be worth much. Once you take away the US’ luxury in printing dollars since dollars is the global tender - there will be a reset and your point would become mute. A nation’s true wealth is measured based on resources - not GDP. |

Themandator: He didn’t overestimate his army - he underestimated how much of a cannon fodder Ukrainians were willing to be in a NATO geopolitical war. He has since changed tactics to carving up Ukraine. And he’s doing well thus far with 3 cities taken and one under siege. Only 3 cities and Kyiv are left for him to fully carve up the country. This isn’t Iraq and Afghanistan - it’s the biggest conventional war since WW2. And the propaganda about dead commanders are mostly lies. There’s no proof that they’re killed apart from one. And the Chechen one they claimed was killed is alive and still on the frontline fighting in Kyiv. You need to take all these fog of war claims with a pinch of salt - people will get the true picture when the war is over. The only thing that can be confirmed now is who controls what and which areas are controlled by the opposing sides. 1 Like |

This is just psyops - none of these guys are dead. They claimed the Chechen commander was dead but the guy was still in Kyiv two days ago controlling drones. At the end of the war, I’m sure we’ll all see these people in videos alive. The aim of psyop is for them to lure these people out. And thus far, it’s not working. |

maasoap: I don’t even think most of them have heard about SCO and Sino-Russian military pact. In a war with NATO - NATO won’t be fighting only Russia. It’s going to be fighting Russia, China and a few other countries. And with how NATO has struggled with small countries - it doesn’t even stand a chance in terms of manpower and other things. But the focus from SCO now is most likely devaluing the dollar (US global domination) and preparing for the eventuality which would be an all out war in the next 5-10yrs. Admiral Aquilino, commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, just said that if containment against China does not work, then "we are ready to fight and win". Evidently, the war in Ukraine is mostly about China. And to finalise the encirclement of China - they need Russia to fall under western sphere of influence. However, Russia and China have always had a scissors policy in dealing with the west. Russians hate American arrogance and would rather team up with China - before bowing down to Americans like other European countries. The Russians are going to carve up Ukraine slowly/steadily and take the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine. Then China would take Taiwan. And both would crush NATO economically and militarily if need be. The biggest losers are the Ukrainians. I don’t know how a country would allow the US use them as cannon fodder in geopolitical war. These fools elected a gay comedian whose claim to fame was a Pentagon sponsored Netflix comedy series. SMH. Thousands of them are getting bombed to pieces daily for a US that they won’t gain zilch from. Those Russian missiles are killing hundreds (if not thousands) of people daily in horrific deaths. It’s not worth it. What would be left of Ukraine by summer would be a landlocked land that’s pretty much useless because the industrial part and arable lands are in the east. And all the ports in the country in the south would be gone as well. It’s just sad. At least Ukrainians won on social media - a good consolation prize for losers, lol. 2 Likes |

Bitcoin: You’re a definitely a lunkhead. How did you arrive at this conclusion? Some of you clowns think Ukraine is a small country. It’s not. Ukraine is the second biggest country in Europe (only second to Russia) and they have been training since 2014 with the best NATO countries and unlimited supply of weapons since. The US + 40 countries didn’t capture Baghdad until after 20 days despite Iraq being half of Ukraine with an untrained army that was disarmed for years due to sanctions. There was little to no conventional resistance in Iraq - with the US carpet bombing the whole country and 3 times the number of troops Russia has in Ukraine in a country half the size of Ukraine. Yet they struggled to run over the country. Heck, Fallujah exchanged hands about 6 times (with heavy losses for the US every time the Iraqis took it) until the US wiped out every living thing in that city and turned it into rubble. Most of you lunkhead watch too many movies and too much propaganda. This is the biggest war since WW2 with Russia (by itself) on one hand and Ukraine with infinite supply of sophisticated western weapons, 8 years of preparation, and unlimited supply of NATO special forces and mercenaries on the other side. And the Russians have captured 3 cities whilst cleaning up the 4th one which has been under siege with no way out. They never had the intentions to capture Kyiv straightaway and are basically just carving out cities that they would they take out future from Ukraine whilst making it landlocked. And they’re doing quite well thus far. Kyiv is the last meal on the menu. In a conventional war against US by itself - Russia will cut America to its size. The US got ragdolled and smacked in Vietnam - the only country it has fought without external help and Russia would disgrace the US in a conventional war. The US military isn’t as strong against a formidable country as some of you think and those at Pentagon know it. The only thing the Americans are great at is propaganda because they control the media. All their military equipment aren’t even all that. F22 just crash landed yesterday on its own. F35 stays malfunctioning and one just dropped in the ocean a few months ago. Osprey just crashed last week. US air defence systems have been pretty useless against Iranian missiles. And US missile tech is 2 generations behind Russian missile tech. Add those fat and dumb American soldiers in the mix and it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Hence the need to always hide behind NATO and proxies. 2 Likes 1 Share |

One of the volunteers in Ukraine https://twitter.com/razor_destiny/status/1503060060578234369?s=21 They’re all running out of the country now after a lot of them have been wiped out. Typical cannon meat. They watched too much propaganda and decided to travel to a real war to fight. Play stupid games and win stupid prices. Ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun. This is what real war looks like. Not fighting soldiers in flip flops when you have air superiority, better firepower and weapons. |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Russian Soldiers Kill Brent Renaud (American Journalist) - Pictures by AldrichAmes: 5:30pm On Mar 13, 2022 |
US and NATO have exposed themselves with this war as paper tigers and chihuahuas. This “journalist” is an asset and CIA traditionally don’t claim their dead assets. Just as the US won’t claims its “assets” killed today in the Russian missile attack. But this “journalist” was killed by Ukrainians - the Azov troops control the checkpoint where he was shot and his friend that was also shot corroborated that based on location. US and NATO look strong when gangling up on defenceless countries with soldiers in flip flops and air superiority. Russia just exposed them and henceforth, it’s going to be open season on them everywhere. Interfere in Ukraine and get obliterated. Russia has unleashed its death squad today and it’s going to be a long good night kiss. This phase is the best chapter of the war - the epilogue. Ukrainians have lost the war but those guys are tough as nuts. And it’s because they’re Slavs as well. If they were western soldiers - they would’ve folded time ago. It’s evident in how all the western volunteers and SF on the ground are getting eviscerated. A lot of them are crying to go back home now. I expect China to go for Taiwan soon and Iran is going to keep launching its missiles brazenly now. Something crazy is about to happen and there will be a reset. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Igbofam: LMAO. I think your problem is your inability to understand basic English terms. A Military Base in military infers that it’s a facility used for the storage of military equipment and training soldiers. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/military-base Since, the facility is operated by NATO inside Ukraine, evidently it’s a NATO military base. Ukraine has its own military installations all over their country. However, the one attacked is used by NATO. Can you see how dumb and uneducated you’re? You’re trying to argue basic semantics but still fell face flat whilst trying to do it. You need to slap yourself.

project8: Only one tank was destroyed in the so-called “ambush” but from the complete video - the Russian BMP fired back and you could see one of the attackers on the floor while the rest ran. Also, 2 of the Russians in the attacked tank managed to escape. This was more of a suicidal video by the attackers and I’m pretty sure they were all killed based on how the BMP was shooting at them. BTW, Russia just bombed the military base of NATO in western Ukraine where a lot of the NATO instructors are with 6 cruise missiles. There should be tons of casualties there. MSM is reporting 9 dead and 57 injured. However, based on how big those hostels are - it’s probably quintuple those figures. 4 Likes 1 Share |

OkCornel: Bro, we live in a matrix but those who have eyes can see what’s going on. Free media is a lie and it has always been about controlling the narrative. Once you find out that all these western multinational companies/corporations are owned by the same families and the same blue bloods control everything - you will start getting a better picture. Interesting how they call the kleptocrats in Russia oligarchs but how are they different from the corrupt billionaires in the west? Everything is just a clash of supremacy and global domination. The west led by US wants to consolidate on the power it has enjoyed since 1991. But Russia thinks it’s now ready to hold its ground like the old days, with China next to it. And that’s basically what this war is about. Ukraine is just the collateral damage. It’s not even just WH and Tech Giants - CIA/MI6 and oil companies as well. The former head of MI6 is the current head of Shell. It’s the more you look and the less you see. Imagine Facebook publicly calling for pogroms in 2022 - that should tell you how deep this war is. 3 Likes |

OkCornel: Putin has been trying to negotiate with them for 8yrs despite the genocide they were committing against ethnic Russians in the east and south but the west kept disrespecting him whilst preparing for war. I remember John McCain calling Russia a giant gas station with nuclear weapons and Obama calling Russia a regional power. You don’t do that with the country that won WW2. What most people aren’t seeing here is the plan by US elites to subjugate Russia under US sphere of influence whilst taking over its resources. And the first step to doing that is taking Ukraine and Belarus. From there, they’d be able to influence things politically and economically in Russia. In essence, their end game is to emasculate Russia like they have done with the rest of Europe. And that’s what Russia is fighting back against. A country that singlehandedly defeated Napoleon and Hitler is the wrong one to mess with. So it’s bigger than just Ukrainians - it’s geopolitics and control of the world order hence it’s a necessity. Ukraine is just the pawn on the chessboard. 2 Likes |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Ukrainians Prepare For Battle As Russian Military Surrounds Kyiv by AldrichAmes: 7:49pm On Mar 12, 2022 |
seunny4lif: This is second phase of the Russian plan for the war. They are going to encircle Kiev, Odessa and Dnipro whilst mopping up Kharkiv and Mariupol. The 3rd phase when they get the big toys out would be to mop up Kyiv and Odessa and divide the country. The Russians have executed well thus far without using much of their most sophisticated arsenal. And Ukraine isn’t a joke like the flip flop wearing ill-equipped Iraqi and Afghanistan armies. It’s one of most well trained military in the world and the country is the second largest country in Europe. People tend to forget who won world war 2 and hoisted their flag in Berlin. They poked the bear. SMH Below is the Soviet Union hoisting their flag in Berlin after defeating the Nazis and they will do it again. 23 Likes 3 Shares

OkCornel: Ignore the propaganda (this topic and a lot of the threads I have read on this forum are pro-West propaganda): it’s not a needless war. It’s a war of necessity that would’ve happened regardless of who made the first move. In this case, it was Russia. However, if Russia hadn’t invaded Ukraine - Ukraine would’ve tried to invade the separatist regions and Crimea. Russia is doing well thus far on the frontline and have no reason to pull back. They have actually exceeded expectations based on how prepared the Ukrainians are. I think people watch too much Hollywood movies and listen dumbly to western media propaganda. This isn’t Iraq and Afghanistan - 2 3rd world countries with ill-equipped and poorly trained military. Ukraine is the 2nd biggest country in Europe (2nd to Russia) and its military before 2014 was ranked top-10 in the world. And in the last 8 yrs, they have been preparing for war whilst getting trained by the best instructors from NATO countries with unending access to some of the most sophisticated NATO weapons. So, it was never going to be a walk in the park for Russia. US and NATO with all their noise didn’t get to Basra from Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm until after 12days. And Basra is just 56km from Kuwait. During the Kosovo wars, US and NATO never had air superiority despite carpet bombing the country and were only able to destroy 3 out of the 15 SAM batteries of Serbia (they lost more than 50 aircrafts and over 100 vehicles including tanks). The war also took months. This is how a real war is meant to look and Russia is winning on the ground while the west and Ukraine are winning in the media. So it has no reason to stop. It’s a war of necessity that will most likely change the world order. |

mach7: The only sensible post on the thread and I like how you explained everything in a chronological order. The guy you quoted is an ignorant turd. I think most people tend to forget that Taliban was US backed Mujahideen of the Cold War era and most of their commanders were trained by the CIA. So it isn’t shocking they overran the country within a few days after the Americans withdrew. The war was a mistake in the first place and Afghanistan has always been a place where empires are buried. I’m pretty sure Biden realized that those poppy fields aren’t worth it anymore and with almost $1trillion wasted on the country; it’s time to start something new. Topic: North and South are divided by rivers. If the North gets overrun by Islamists, just blow up the bridges that connect the two regions and fortify the other side. Islamists can’t really do much unless they have CIA backing. And in every country they have overrun; they were backed by the CIA. A bunch of AK47s and RPGs carrying ragtag army on their own aren’t as vicious as most think. They only become vicious when they’re being used by a powerful external force. 5 Likes |

FarahAideed: I highly doubt that. The avg 4th gen jet should be able to see it once it’s within striking distance and it’s not as fast as the older jets. There’s a reason why it’s always flanked by F-16s and F-15Cs when going on a mission. I think its best quality is its ability to hit ground targets with precision while also evading radar. 8 Likes |

FarahAideed: Russians have the Su-35 Flanker and F-35 stands zero chance against it in combat. The only reason why Su-35 isn’t a 5th generation jet is due to its lack of stealth capability, however, it’s up there with F-22. Su-35 intercepted F-16s and F-15Cs which are the two best American jets in terms of maneuverability, apart from F-22, in Syria on multiple occasions. F-35 is good for what it was built for but it stands no chance in a dog fight with comparable fighter jets. 3 Likes |

Fulani cow, this is a copied summary of what Interpol does: …………………. Interpol is fully autonomous and independent of any single country. There are 186 member countries (see the full list here). Interpol remains politically neutral and does not participate in any action involving politics, race or religion. The agency is focused on several key areas of crime: Terrorism Sexual abuse of children and child pornography Organized crime International fugitives Computer crime, including identity theft and theft of financial information Interpol also monitors and fights against human trafficking, the smuggling and sale of illegal drugs, money laundering, environmental crime, fraud and intellectual property crimes. ……………. Interpol doesn’t get itself involved in unilateral decisions made by countries based on ethnic/political differences. Based on international law, Igboho hasn’t committed a crime. Self-determination is allowed under UN Charter. Protests are lawful under international law. And self-defence by indigenous people is also lawful under UN Charter.

You don’t go out of your way to make a threat like that when even IPOB are more armed than you.

joyandfaith: You don’t need an ideology to fight for self-determination. Your identity and the nationalism behind that identity is all you need. The problem with Kanu and Igboho is that both got in their own way with their egos and mouths, despite lacking basic military training and understanding how things work. They also overlooked the fact that they are both from the two most treacherous ethnic groups you will ever find where your own people would be the first to sell you out to the highest bidder. Both should’ve stayed within playing the roles of mere propagandists to more grassroot support and let those who know what they’re doing, do the heavy lifting. Their own people sold them out. Kanu was sold out by Igbos. And Igboho was sold out by Yorubas. Henceforth, Ilana Omo Oodua is back firmly in charge of Yoruba Nation self-determination. I hope Igbos can create something similar. And when the time comes to use force, Nigeria won’t be able to withstand it. But with due process. 1 Like |
