Some westerners died in the attack, i think 23 and many more are severely wounded and will probably die soon too from their injuries.

Russia doesn’t wanna turn the knob a bit because of more energy crises but she has now.

Yeah and I also think the US is starting something.

Firstly, in midweek, told residents of NY what to do in case of nuclear attack. They made a full video on this. You can look it up.

Secondly, Isreal and the US wants to start shit on Iran. Putin is going to Iran this week.

Thirdly, the US just sent Estonia HIMARS that can likely hit Russian territories. Estonia will probably send this to Ukraine . Doing this starts a full blown war.

Fourth, Russia just reshuffled their cabinet.

Fifth, MBS just said Saudi can’t pump more oil due to their refineries. Meaning, the US last card just got burnt.

What ever happens, it’s about to get hot. Europe is about to get engulfed in a long crises.
Wow. I must have slept on such important news. I doubt if the US will open a hot front against Iran, that would be suicidal for the Democrats in the US coming elections. But these are people whose senility has long gone out with reality. So, anything can still happen.

As for Himars being supplied to Estonia and probably being delivered to Ukraine, it will only help to hasten the war process because for every Russian territory they will strike with it, Ukraine will get ten folds in reprisals. The moment Himars came to Ukraine and the Ukrainians started using it on civilian populations in Donbass, Russia intensified it strikes deeper into Ukraine in so much that air raid sirens are now constantly blaring in every parts of Ukraine, which is about to cause another wave of Ukrainian refugee into Europe.

Moreover, many EU leaders are now facing serious backlash at home due to rising inflation that has no stop sign in sight at the moment. People are getting frustrated and a mass revolution may occur across the block if they allow things to get even awry than it is now. With Johnson gone already, and Draghi facing resignation in Italy, plus the problem in Bulgaria, I don't see the likes of Macron and Scholz setting up themselves for more failures with regards to Ukraine and the EU economy in general. Nonetheless, these are neocons and anything could still happen. But what gives me a bit of comfort is the fact that Russia is always a step ahead methodically and geopolitically.

So whatever the end game might be, Russia still have the edge. But we hope the neocons don't go on a dead journey with this crisis. God save the world.

I am telling you. The US embassy in Kyiv has closed operations. Something massive is going to happen in the next few weeks.
Possible. Some highly placed individuals were killed when Russian cruise missiles hit the Officer's Club facility in Vinnitsa, which means Russia sees everything that comes in and go out of Ukraine, which is a wake-up call to the west like British intelligence who always downplay Russian intelligence capabilities. When Putin said they haven't even started yet, that Vinnitsa strike underscore that remark, and as we speak, Russia has moved huge numbers of troops and equipment into Belarus. So you may not be wrong, something big is in the offing. Another assault on Kiev? Who knows.

Trouble times ahead. God help Ukraine and the people in it.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Where Is Zelensky ? by Appleyard(m): 8:21am On Jul 16, 2022
Well, that Russian missile strike on Vinnitsa Officer's Club changes everything because it seems scores of visiting weapon traders from the west were killed, prompting the US embassy in Kiev to ask all American citizens to leave the country because nowhere is safe from the damn Russians. cool

The Z message was very clear: come and you will die. That message was so strong that Zelensky might have withdrew back into his bunker for safety. Who knows? undecided

Caseless:
They have an idiot as a leader who was so eager to please America because he's new on the block and displease his own people.

Angela Merkel wouldn't have allowed this in the first place. She stood her ground for many years and I'm sure Germans are missing her right now.
You're so right. It's very hurtful when workers are about to lose their jobs. Some German top companies are already contemplating job cuts due to the inflationary rates that's not receding but increasing each passing month. And once you have job cuts, it means loss of productivity, so the observer was spot on.

The fact is, you cannot replace "cheap" raw materials, especially when you're running an economy that overwhelmingly revolves around industrial manufacturing. You need the cheap raw materials to stay competitive in terms of market price, which has been Germany's secret economic weapon for ages--cheap energy, cheap metal sheets, cheap wood, coal, iron ore, palladium, nickel and so forth.

Even as the country eyes diversification away from some of its dependent sources like Russia, the fact remains that prices of most of those raw materials have skyrocketed, and diversification isn't something you achieve overnight. Therefore, in whatever ways, the German economy is screwed for the time being as it continue to head on the negative side of things, no thanks to the devastating leftover effect of the Covid-19 virus and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The rate at which propaganda and lies were flying on a daily basis about Russia even when those things were clearly false was alarming. I'm now doubting the authenticity of western books and history I've read. This Russia-Ukraine conflict has really made me lose interest in watching CNN and other news outlets.
Western accounts of history is clouded with lies and Eurocentricism. Just the same way they lied that Columbus was the first to discover America, whereas, Africans with boats were there before Columbus. The white man and history-based lies are like five and six.

SUFFERInSMILIIN:
This man is totally confused and does not even know the whole story. By the beginning of this war in 2022 Ukraine was not part of Nato and was not part of European Union. You have to look at the history of the war it is nothing new this war has been going on since 2014. What is skeleated it is when Ukraine started recapturing territory back from the separatists back by Russia. If you want to analyse the war you have to go back to around 2015 to really understand what went wrong. You had a puppet Russian president in Ukraine which was removed and that made Russia go mad
Who orchestrated the removal of that president, let's even assume he is Russian puppet?

shogsman:
Ukraine just claimed to have killed 10 times more Russian solidiers than Russia has Killed.

They claimed they've only lost around 3,000 of Thier men, zelensky last week said over 200 of Their men die daily.
In mauripol alone over 4500 of Their soldiers surrendered to Russia.

Ukraine pow in Russia now is over 10,000 but somehow ukraine says only 3000 soliders has been killed in action and they've killed almost 40,000 Russian solidiers
"A day without comedy is a day wasted" - Zelensky. cool

When the side that have lost more than 120 square kilometers tells you it has inflicted more death three times on the attacking army than ithe ones it has lost tells you all you are suppose to know...that Zelensky sees the Ukraine war as a circus show. cool The Hungarian president and house of Paliament were right afterall when they said this man has mental problems. cool

More than 400 aircrafts? Are you even listening to yourself? grin

Heck. The UkroNazis can't even win a direct air-to-air confrontation with Russian air forces and here you are typing propanganda because you were there taking records. grin

Russian airforce that keeps bombing the Ukro from the Nazis is a no go area for Russia planes? grin You should have said UkroNazis can't even fly within their own air space without getting shot down. shocked

Lmao. cheesy

You guys will really cry more blood, especially now that small Russian groups are taking out Ukrainian SAM batteries with machine guns, not missiles anymore. Who does that in modern battle if not Russia? grin

Trash talk!

Russia have said their main goal is to liberate the Donbas region which they have almost achieved.

It's now left for Ukraine to counterattack or not.

There are already discussions on how to rebuild Ukraine and how much it will cost. Zelenskyy has said it should begin immediately.
At the bolded, thanks to God that you even have the decency and honestly to admit for once that Russia have almost achieved their goal of liberating the East of Ukraine.

A Ukrainian counterattack would be a tremendous surprise if it happens really because the current Ukraine that we know now don't even have much fight left in its ranks let alone such a huge counter offensive to claim back those lost territories.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Germany: We Can't Plunder Our Military For The Sake Of Ukraine by Appleyard(m): 6:09pm On Jul 08, 2022
Why should they continue to send weapons to Ukraine when Russia keeps destroying them? undecided

In a recent interview with Fox News, a Ukrainian pilot described the direct aerial confrontation with the Russian fighter jets as a ‘suicide mission,’ adding, “I wouldn’t even find him [Russian aircraft] on the radar screen by the time he’s already launched a missile.” grin grin grin

All the weapons they have been sending to Ukraine are not effective against Russia as confessed by that pilot. But some kids here think Russian aviation is not up to quality with foreign ones let alone surpass them. This pilot just said they can't even track and find Russian planes on their radar, and we are not talking about the SU-57. cool

You said partly. That aside does Boris resignation have anything to do with inflation? You guys are impossible.
My friend stop being an apologist for a clown.
What led to his resignation? From the Chris Puncher's appointment brouhaha to the Covid-19 lockdown rules violationsl to cost of living that has risen to 9.1 percent in inflationary figures since the Ukraine war began, and the hike in tax rates and what have you, were all factors that contributed to the pressure on him and his subsequent resignation. What is standing tall is that a leader who has spearheaded the vilifcation of another leader and country in support of the misdeed of another in the same continent while forgetting his own flaws and clumsiness has been kicked out of office.

Who is the loser now? grin

I just did a quick scan on SKYNEWS and FOxNEWS front pages, there’s no news about the Ukraine/Russia crisis, i bet they already ran out of propagandas.

The other day Skynews was reporting how significant the “snake island” Is, the same island wey Russia evacuated out of good will, some ukroops soldiers went their for a quick photoshoot session for their masters, only to collect missiles, eventually some of em perished. I don laugh taya, it’s true that Russia never start yet cos if Russia unleash hell on Ukraine, there will be nothing left to rebuild.

Gradually, the WEST don dey forget Ukraine small small, most of em don dey get internal problems, Uk, USA, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Bulgaria and so on…. I’m looking forward to winter season, I really can’t wait.
One month to winter, and the news would be filled with horrific tales of protest here and there across the EU.

Look at are maopic your thinking is, equating and comparing War with football, at times i wonder the set of brains on Nairaland.

If I have 1 Billion Naira and you have 100 million naira, who do you think will outspend each other? Or in your Delude thinking, we should organize a spending spree, Then we can know who will outspend each other? Even when It's obvious I can.
Some of you really have to start using your number six.
Honestly, I really do not want to answer you before but seeing this ignorant post from you shows you don't even know what you claim you know.

Who told you military spending dictate or equate capability and supremacy? cheesy

What you don't know is that much of the US military budget are spent on bases maintenance and stationaries with over 800 military bases world wild to look after. Only a portion of that translate into real capability purchase and deployment. You could have done research before typing this myopic reply to the guy who was helping you to see the facts. wink

Consider this; India outspend Russia on defense, but they end up buying more weapons from Russia than they buy from other nations. Does the spending means they are more capable than Russia? No.

Saudi Arabia outspend Germany, France, the Japan, South Korea, Turkey, and more, but do that translate into capabilities? No.

So what are you yapping about?

Look at all the nations that are militarily advanced; they have one thing in common - BRAINS and thriving MIC.

If a Russian military industry used $10 to produce a bullet that can fly 10 kilometers and a US military industry spent $1000 producing same bullet at same speed, would you say the US bullet is more capable because it cost more money? huh

What do you know about prophecy? cool All sides will suffer in that war, but only America and much of the west that will be annihilated completely. No one tells the future better than Alois Irlmaier, AA Allen and William Marion Braham, and Nostridamus. America is Mystery Babylon which God have ordained for destruction in the coming 3rd World War. I'm sorry your darling would be annihilated; they have to cause of the evils they have done to this world.

Do you know that the nuclear tipped torpedo that will sink England and many other coastal cities of the west as predicted by Irlmaier is already produced by the Russians? Prophecy halfway fulfilled...

Pro-Putin luuunatics never fail to amaze me.

Russia's victories are pyrrhic.

Nevertheless, we know Ukraine have so far fought the Russians with inferior weapons in this Donbas battle. The West have been reluctant to arm Ukraine with similar weapons the Russians are using.
By the time Ukraine get long-range artillery et al, Russia will be chased out of the conquered territories.

Russia have suffered huge casualties all the same but have enough men and ammunition to replenish. Ukraine don't have such luxury.

The war is far from over. Only some battles have been lost.
I don't even know what to say to this one.
