For me personally it was when he banned every opposition party in Ukraine,banned every opposition media outlets in Ukraine and made it illegal for anybody in Ukraine to question the war. No democratic nation with a democratic president would do that.
The second time was when he started attending shows, awards,parties, doing vogue photoshoots and meeting up with celebrities. No serious leader with an actual war to lead will have time for all of that.

The third time was when he started forcefully conscripting people into war and made it illegal for any adult male to leave the country.

Fourth time was when he started demanding Money from every country with pride, he has demanded almost $1t in less than 6months ,that is 5 times more than the entire GDP of his country .

Fifth time was when he blamed and accused Russia shelling themselves, he accused Russia of blowing up a nuclear plant under the control of the Russian army.

That guy is a CIA asset doing American dirty work.

When you have food, oil and gas then you everything.
Russia fuel price is the same since February and gas is still cheap.
Even yesterday again Japanese min of finance said they wouldn’t abandon Russia gas deal even after Russia introduced new law on the gas deal.
The ministry said the gas is very important for the economy of Japan, this came after same Japan before said they don’t want Russia gas before.

Saudi have increased the price of oil and gas to Asia countries again after just increasing it 2 months ago.

I hope Germany is learning from Japan; never play politics with your economy.

Nigeria is now building has pipeline to connect the European market. To me, it came a bit too late.

As for the house of Said, they can keep making money. It's within their right to so do while Europe suffer in silence paying triple the price they use to pay for Russian gas, having to buy from same Asian market whom Saudi is supplying. EU leaders are bunch of emotional thinking leaders devoid of logical reasoning.

Nigeria us

Look at Finland when Russia stop gas pipelines to them, same Finland increased their imports of Russia LNG by over X3 in summer oooh and same with Spain.
If Russia demand Ruble to LNG then it’s finished.
Even USA min of Finance that leads some USA allies delegates out when Lavrov was speaking at G20 meeting 2 months ago, did not do it again at the last meeting when same Lavrov was also speaking.
She said now, the world need Russia oil and gas, as Biden travelled to Saudi failed to yield anything

Reality can be a ride awakening from delusion and jingoism. That's exactly what is happening to the west now. Russia is too big to be isolated. Unfortunately, they're realising it too late.

This Ukraine brouhaha is gradually taking a new dangerous dimension. Last week, we read that 100 Chinese veterans have volunteered to fight in the Donbass. Heck, we know that is no Chinese veterans but regular army wanting to gain real-time war experience. I expect that number to increase gradually in trickles. They're minimizing it for now to avoid public scrutiny and tention.

Now, the North Koreans wants to send a hundred thousand troops to the frontlines in Donbass? North Korea, a country led by a leader that serve neither God nor Devil .

These things are not just happening randomly. There is some unwritten hand of cohesion behind the scenes shaping the events, and before our very naked eyes, alliance formation is occurring, which is a precursor to imminent war, just as it happened before WW1 and WW2.

Folks, it's time to look up the skies, double-check our lives and ensure it satisfies the expectatoon of the good man above.

Shite is about to hit the god-damned fan!!!

Germany said Russia have refused to take the turbine then Gazprom replied.
Gazprom to Germany - "Gazprom will not violate the sanctions imposed on it by the European Union, Canada, United States and the United Kingdom so cannot receive the turbine from Siemens unfortunately.
Without cheap Russia gas, there is going to be massive problems in Germany.
Qatar and USA LNG gases are 5X higher than Russia gas and today Turkey President will be travelling to Russia, the first thing was to secure Russia gas and wheat for winter.

Putin playing them their own game. Sanctions are a double-edged sword that cut both ways. It's pathetic that the EU would be rationing electricity at this stage. I wonder what and how the situation would look like by the time they enter winter even as gas and oil prices keep soaring. It's a bad day for the EU.

I always knew something was off with that guy,from IGBOFAM who turned out to be an itel using scum in One village I cannot even remember to this scammer who has a dozen moniker, the least we can do is to expose them all only Victorusa seems to be the only legit Western propagandanist here

I will do the needful. I have some contact in EFCC. I will report him. I just need more details on him.

Ishitinyourlife:
Turns out our regular western propaganda guy who goes by the name Britishnaija has been scamming people up and down claiming he lives in Europe whereas he is in Lagos, he has finally Been caught and it seems he has deactivated his account and ran away

Chisos!!!

shogsman:
More importantly most of the world's semiconductor chips used in phones, computers etc comes from China so when this conflicts begin tmsc will not be able to work and that's game over for major technology brands

China have started investing heavily on semiconductors, including Russia as well. Chinese military personnel are now participating in the Ukrainian war on the side of the Russians, probably to gain real-time war experience.

I smell shite is about to hit the fan. American foreign policy never disappoint in war footing and global chaos.

Defend Taiwan? Once the first shot gets fired, the first embassy that will runaway is the US. Believe American politicians to your own peril.

It is laughable when some folks parrot the Lamestream media lies of a massive Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kherson when they can't even compete and hold on to much of the frontlines in the Donbass where they are gradually losing territories and huge numbers of men to Russian artillery. I don't know why people swallow every piece of propaganda thrown their way. The truth is, Ukriane never stood and doesn't stand a chance against Russia in any area of warfare. No amount of western propanganda can change that fact.

To add to what this thread was saying, below is what Zelensky and a Ukrainian journalist on the frontlines said recently:


"Yet we are unable to break the Russian army’s advantage in artillery and manpower, and this is very much felt in the fighting, especially in Donbass. Peski, Avdeevka, other directions … It’s just hell there. It cannot even be described in words,” the Ukrainian president added." -Zelensky said vis HIMARS.


The two towns near Donetsk, heavily fortified since 2015, have seen heavy fighting over the past week. On Tuesday, Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov, embedded with the military in Donbass, posted an expletive-laden report from Peski calling it a “meat grinder.” Butusov infamously filmed himself firing a cannon on the Donbass “separatists” last year.

“There is no counter-battery fire, none at all,” he wrote on Tuesday. Russian forces were firing “6,500 shells per f****g village in less than 24 hours. It’s been like this for six days now, and it’s hard to fathom how any number of our infantry remain alive under this barrage.”

Ukrainian troops were holding the line, Butusov claimed, but “without counter-battery fighting, it turns into a senseless meat grinder, where huge numbers of our infantry are chewed up in one day.” According to Butusov, a reserve platoon that tried to advance was taken apart in minutes, with only one out of 15 men left unharmed.

“All the reserves are spent, the military equipment goes up in flames, and the enemy approaches and takes our positions without any problems after another barrage of artillery,” he wrote. “Right now we are losing Péski, all our human and material capabilities are almost exhausted.”

While Zelensky did not go into this much detail, he did say that of the 167 service members he was decorating this week, 32 would get their awards posthumously.

The facts are obvious already. The earlier Ukraine seek a compromise solution to this war, the better for it and everyone. They can NEVER win against Russia.

inspirator1:
The strategy is good - retired special forces indeed. Not only USA and Canadian's knows how to use such terms when their active men are used as mercenaries.

Well said.

Hmmm.

100 retired Chinese service men just met randomly in China, then decided collectively to come to Ukraine to fight on behalf of Russia. Something is fishy...

I think those men are regular Chinese soldiers covertly sent in to gain war experience. It also reinforce the notion that China is beefing up to take Taiwan by force, especially with the Pelosi visitation brouhaha and Xi's warning to Biden not to play with fire; hence they're out to garner some knowledge of western made weapons functionality in the hands of Ukriane since majority of Taiwanese weapons are western made. This is not good at all. Something is about to go down.

Owerri1stSon:
You are asking someone who have visited Ukraine, Russia, and 4 other European countries? Russia was one of the poorest countries in the Europe in per capita when there was no sanction, imagine now that sanction is decking them from every corners.

During my stay in Russia, I got to realise that Russia is just covering the poverty rate there by controlling the media. As a media person, say the real state of Russia and the next morning, 'a media personnel has committed suicide by jumping from the 20th floor.'

You just shown that you have never visited nor lived in Russia. I have two relatives living there. Stop the steroetype.

A country where hundreds of thousands of it's citizens travels on holiday visits to different parts of the world cannot by any means be defined as poor. Yes, every society has poor people, but labelling Russia as poor generally is myopic.

Measuring income by per capita is a crude method of aggregating people's wealth. You should be focused on PPP.

For instance, In the first quarter of 2022, 14.3 percent of the resident population of Russia lived under the poverty line. The share of Russians earning less than the subsistence minimum slightly increased compared to the first quarter of 2021, when it reached 14.2 percent.

As at February 2022, the US has a 14.4 percent poverty rate for the total US population. This is a slight decrease from 14.7 percent in January 2022, but a continuation of the spike from the December 2021 monthly poverty and annual rating.

From the above two examples, despite the US income wealth per capita, it still has substantial number of people living in poverty, but you cannot because of that termed the US as being "generally" poor. Same hold for Russia.

Cry Lord .
E the hurt una to see how the Russians the collect wotowoto from Europe 2 poorest country. PUTARDS CRY NEVER START

Emotions does not replace reality.

okeysoninv:
as you can see from the above link I gave that guy. the much touted s-400 billion dollar air defense missiles is been routed in Donbass by old HiMARS missiles. off course, the offensive is on underway already in Kherson. three settlement taken so far. many of Russia command has been demilitarized too by HIMARS and MLRS. cont. consoling ur self , I am always here to missile all the ugly puttards that will raise his or her ugly head against democratic country. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://news.yahoo.com/three-kherson-settlements-liberated-recent-124600874.html&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjdx9XPlKH5AhVGnaQKHQqoBtEQFnoECAUQAg&usg=AOvVaw3YKvb0ki8onCe_O0V7NJ3p

Lmao. S-400 routed by Himars... Even Zelensky would be wondering where you get your facts from. Probably from British intelligence.

Ukraine have been using Himars to bomb civilian buildings and killing their own soldiers in captivity. There is no single Russian S-400 deployed in Ukraine, but in Belarus. And stop believing the propaganda...there is no Ukrainian counteroffensive other than firing Himars at the Kherson bridge It's laughable when simpletons like you easily fall for such nonesense. This was how the Lamestream media decieved you guys that Ukraine has countered attack and taken Severesdonetsk, alas, it was the other way round. Stop being fed lies and wait for the reality to manifest. Propaganda don't win wars. And listen attentively, Ukriane don't have the airpower, the needed ground forces and committed morale to initiate, sustain and realise a massive counteroffensive. These are facts, not some wishful thinking. Heck, they can't even hold on for long the frontlines in the Donbass where they have been losing territories gradually, with all their well entrenched fortifications being smashed to pieces by Russian artillery power. Right now, Russia is in the outskirts of Kramatorsk, and with the way the Russians are attacking other regions of Ukraine, it would be extremely difficult for Ukraine to even hold on to one area let alone find the forces to counterattack. You should be more worried about Zelensky future.

The Zelensky inner circle is now crumbling like anl pack of cards. The man keep sacking his most trusted men I'm his government, including people in the SBU. There is now growing talk of a possible assassination of the president by his own men who he is busy sacking, sending to the frontlines to die while he and his wife are posing for Vogue Magazine making money for themselves. In as much as I hate this war, relying on propaganda won't suffice to buttress your point. The reality is the reality, and the stark reality here is that Ukraine can never win against Russia.

That train strike was devilish.

Another Igbofam spotted.

Kingsnairaland:
If you want to recapture your lands will you be bombing your brigde..

Destruction of your brigde shows your afraid of the opposition.

URAA URAA URAA RUSSIA LONG LIVE PUTIN God bless mother Russia.

They are too emotional to even understand what is at play.

okeysoninv:
when Russia was on offensive you were cheering then now the table has turn it has become propaganda to you. God bless MLS and HIMARS for dealing heavy blow against urchins.

Classic trolling. Which table have turned? You are even calling God on MLS HIMARS?

You sound very emotional. Please, don't get your hopes up, any talk of a Ukrainian counteroffensive is a pipe dream. Don't end up being brainwashed and disappointed like Igbofam who have retired to his Igbo Farm at Kwale in Delta State. Every sane mind knows that Ukraine have lost the war already.

BritishNaija:
The bubble will surely burst.

Lmao. What you put there just contradicted your expectations. There is no bubble anywhere. Just simple logic. Create value for your currency backed by exportable commodity prioritizing production above consumption, and you'll have a functionally competitive currency that is neither too strong nor volatile. That is exactly what the Ruble and Chinese Yuan have done for themselves. They created real value for their currencies by being productive and having highly in demand commodity to sell and asking for payment of such commodity via their own currency. That's real value for you boy, not the wishful bubble you're expecting.

Meanwhile, the situation for the collective west, particularly the EU is looking grim and grim every day. The US have for the second time in a roll see economic contraction and have entered into what they stylishly termed "technical recession". While the IMF affirms that Russia's economy is doing well contrary to what was expected. This paper said it better...

https://english.alarabiya.net/amp/News/2022/07/26/Russian-economy-doing-well-despite-sanctions-IMF

This is practical economy at play not some textbook steroetype economic theory.

When you are big, you are big. The west are just learning that about the Russians.

Barbarism and primitiveness at it's zenith.

Owerri1stSon:
How many of them for Russia get the currency to use chop? Normally, Russia is poor, now add to they sanction, Russia is finished.

Who told you Russians are poor?

DukeNija:
Lies! You’re a bloody liar. Drop receipts or cite sources to back your baseless March claim.
Russia do not have a complete hold on any region in Ukraine and have been hand twisted into defense in Eastern and Southern territories. The momentum is with Ukraine with the bombardment thanks to the US owned HIMARS missile systems capable of long range projections. Over fifty Russian military bases and weapons warehouses have been destroyed in the last 4weeks.
This war will deplete the Russian military inventory and render them incapable of invading another country which is NATO’s primary objective. Putin needs an intermission to reassess his strategy and keep partially occupied territories but Ukraine in unwilling to negotiate because they have the upper hand.

A very ignorant post.

Mynd44:
With the global rise in energy costs, inflation, currencies tumbling and only the Russian economy growing, this one is reading speeches

Just admit that you are pained.

The blackman in the first picture...is on another heat wave.. viewing the white lady

A Nigerian friend of mine in the UK was like "why are these people burning so much from this minor hit?" The just watch them as they ran into fountains of water at nearby parks.

Engeniu:
Northern Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Mali hit 50°C at times, so

You are dam right. Take Maiduguri for instance. There was a time the sun hit 53°C yet there wasn't any Bush fires as this one in Europe. Something is really wierd here.

spy24:
We can give it all the scientific name that we want

We never see anything. Too much evil in this world

I agree with you. Just think about the fact that most times during the dry season, the sun in Maiduguri is way higher than this but there has been no Bush fires. So what is happening to Europe? This thing is something else.

Zelensky overtly inviting his own assassination.

What a sad ending we are seeing.

How long will these ediots learn that even if Ukraine has five fleet of F-class planes, it still will not give them back any lost territory without boots on the ground to do the real job? And since half of Ukraine's main hardened fighting group have been lost or largely wounded, it's funny how F-class planes can assist the conscripts and wearied unrotated soldiers to fight on, let alone coming up against Russian more experience airforce and capable air defense systems, and that's assuming if the battle isn't over before the Ukro pilots complete their training.

"A day without comedy is a day wasted" - Zelensky.

It's getting hotter by the day. Russia is gradually turning on the screws. This is bad for Ukraine.

Caseless:
I heard the west is violating its own sanctions to return the pipelines taken to Canada for servicing will be returned so gas supply can continue because Germany can't afford 10 days break of non-gas supply from Russia.

This war is taking a different turn.

Most of the EU leaders of today are not visioneers, so they act out of emotions rather than being geopolitically pragmatic. Now that they have made the wrong turn, they're learning the hard way. No country in this world can survive 100 percent on its own. Europe need Russia just as Russia needs them. You can NEVER replace "cheap" in energy unless you want to lose competitive advantage in global markets. This is sadly what is facing economic powerhouses like Germany.
