They are not. Even demographics of mauripol was around 55: 45 in favour of Ukraine. Yes, donbas has significant number of natives of Russia due to century of russification. Would say jos North belongs to hausas because they most residents speak hausas?
You find it very convenient to type lies and even made bold claims of it. Have you been to Donbass?

You mean the banks own all of America? And use the federal reserve as front? cheesy
The Federal reserve is own by private interest, much of which are banks too. I did a piece on this here some years back. So many people don't really know what's happening in the global scheme of things.

Don't you know that all Central Banks are SCAMMING their citizens, just as the dubious Federal Reserve Bank is SCAMMING Americans mercilessly.
Do you even know that so.many simpletons think and believe the lie that the US government owe itself much of the huge debt?

Many people don't even know that the Federal Reserve is privately owned. The scamming is appalling.

When you are a producing NATION and you decided to use your currency as the main medium of exchange.
What that does is huge.

First of all: You become super competitive because your Goods are too cheap.
Secondly: The local economy of the people becomes stronger when they ditch out all the foreign goods and replace them with Locally made or even far cheaper ones (Chinese and Indian)

So it's a lot of things happening at the same time.

Nigeria is not producing NATIOn yet. (We do not have a steel industry so forget it for now, until we do)
Nigeria does not even have a light yet. (you all wonder why they killed Yaradua for trying to resuscitate Ajaokuta and Steel in exchange for building a gas pipeline to Europe. (A deal sabotaged by Niger delta, a kind of western proxy forces when needed to do the damage proof Nigeria is a vicious circle of failure to the people)


Nigeria needs a political will. That is all.
You're informed. cool

Something is not adding up here!
Currencies don't perform this fast!
undecided
Yes, but this currency it's performing this fast because it created value for itself. How can one country be an economic power House but still relies on another's foreign currency to thrive? This brouhaha just reveals that every country on this Earth that has something to offer economically will have a stable and valued currency if it demands for the use of it's currency in the settlement for goods and services traded. It's simple. This is what make the dollar what it is today. Take that away and it would just be like every other currency.

What many people don't know is that there is a group of volunteers in the Ukro armies that are now selling western made weapons to the highest bidder once they are handed to them for warfare. This, apart from the continuous destruction of majority of those weapons by Russia, is the reason why the Ukraine is always running out of weapons.

1. Pro Ukraine, anti war Russians or whatever you call it e.t.c. there were in thousands. That is very significant.

2. Tough on dissenting rallies because it's a dictatorship regime under a mad man that has been controlling the country for decades and even change the county's constitution to keep him in power much longer like he is som God or czar. They protest and the madman keeps locking them up. If same happens in Nigeria, someone like you will be the first to scream blue murder. And why hasn't USaid initiated a revolution in Nigeria? A putard's post is not complete without throwing some conspiracy nonsense in it grin

3.
If protesters are buying guns and carry out terrorism on the economy, terrorising tax payers with horns/big rigs and (about to) carry out terrorism on law enforcement, then it's no longer a peaceful protest, and Canada was right in taking actions to stop the protest from becoming violent.
You just make me laugh reading your posts. cool

I guess you remember that people carry guns normally around in Canada and in the US?

These same so-called democracy societies will not hesitate to kill you without blinking an eye for being the black man that you are.

Lmao. If you don't know about the shady exploits of USAID and NED, then there is no need to argue further with you.

You even brought Nigeria into this, you could as well have mentioned Ghana, Cameroon, Haiti or even Comoros Island since it's practically every nation on the planet that meets the US color coded revolution strategic criteria. You're one hell of a funny dude. cool

Of course, it's conspiracy theory that the US-led color coded revolutions machine runs through the works of such organizations to fuel crisis in targeted countries. Yes, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan were all conspiracy theories. Unfortunately, you wouldn't know they were realities cause you have your head buried deep in the anus of western Lamestream media misinformation and Langley brainwashing machine, as such that even when one of their own, General Westley Clark confessed that the US planned to invade (and did invade covertly and overtly) seven nations within the space of five years, folks like you are still kept in the dark because you no longer can tell the difference between reality and falsehood owing to your warp jingoism.

Ahh!!! Just as it was purely conspiracy theory when the Russians alleged that the US is building biolabs in Ukraine and elsewhere, and folks like you scream the "Russia lies" until one of their own again per Victoria Nuland told Senator Rubio that the US has biolabs programs in Ukraine.

It's folks like you that are wired to die with their eyes wide open.

Brother, repent and free yourself from the western prison of misinformation and brainwashing. cool

Don't bother replying because I don't plan on responding. I usually run away from folks who tagged everything as conspiracy theories. Forgive me. cheesy

I bet you are too small then to know that Iraq flags was popular more than anything in 2003.
The biggest anti protest in the history was in 2003 by worldwide against USA and UK

When did Russia government said Ukraine joining EU is their problem when EU is Russia second biggest traders
Who told Ireland became rich because of EU? If that is the case why is Bulgaria not rich, Slovakia ko, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, oh what about Greece? Why did Italy economy collapse when they introduced Euros has their currency?
Ireland is safe haven for big and small companies because of the country's taxation and economic policies which have caused massive problem between EU power houses and Irish government as Google and co all open offices in Ireland, which allow them to pay a little taxes making EU to lose billions every year.
This method allows Irish government to tax the workers of the companies but only tax little money from the companies


Like I said you are the mumu here.
One thing I have come to discover about these guys is that they don't even understand how the EU works.

You get time
That’s the reason, I don’t even reply oooh
USA and UK that are making the most anti Russia have started moving away from it as the citizens careless about Ukraine.
Every major ethic will protect their own it doesn’t matter if it’s USA, British, French or Russia.
Am not Pro Russia but I hated double standards.
EU can’t preach to Russia when same EU destroyed Libya and the problem of Libya is the wahala in all over North and West Africa.
It's only people who reason blindly that takes the collective west serious.

These guys will preach so-called democracy to you but when it comes to similar issues within their borders, they will quickly trample down same democratic norms without blinking an eye.

Catalina wants it's independence from Spain, and we all saw how that ended with the Spanish government acting very "tolerant" of the secessionist leaders, locking them up and using teargas and heavy suppression tactics to deal with their supporters. cool

Recently, we all saw how the Canadian truckers were quickly suppressed, forcefully removed from the highway and even arrested some. But it's fine since it's the west, but it's all anti-democracy if it's places like Russia or China.

We saw recently also how the French police manhandled English football fans during the Champions league final between Real Madrid and Liverpool. But it's fine since it's the west. Talk about double standards talk about the west.

Tell them to move to Russia. The hypocrites are enjoying the freedom of the west while being protected Irish police. grin

Can pro-ukraine Russians even fly Ukrainian flags in the street of Moscow without getting arrested and beaten by Russian police? We saw videos of harrassment and arrest when Russians protesters against the war.

What do you say about that.
Police harass people everywhere. How many Russians are really pro Ukraine? People just don't want war and will vent their anger when their government go to war. But it doesn't mean they support the other country.

My friend, the truth is, what is another man's meat is another man's poison. Yes, the security in places like Russia are more tougher on dissenting rallies especially on hot political issues, but this was how they have lived their lives for decades (and not forgetting the US-led west knack for color coded revolutions through programs like USAID, NED etc., which gives them legitimate reason to act tougher against such sensitive rallies, even though it doesn't justify their actions all the time). And has the crackdown on rallies Really stop people from protesting? No. People still protest in Russia, and they will continue doing so whether the Russian government like it or not. By the way,

The west is no saint either. They preach one thing and do the direct opposite. We saw how 'tolerant' the Canadian government was when truckers protested. It's funny how they quickly legislated emergency powers to themselves that ensured that the courts will not stop them from dealing decisively with what they perceived as threat to national security. It's like a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Is Donbass part of Russia?
How convenient for you to say. An Island in the back of Argentina is part of the UK (which is not even in the same Continent) since 1841 and so they have the right to defend them while the Donbass region which together with Ukraine are both of Slava heritage and ethnic Russians till the political divide of the 1990 isn't Russia's business, right? cool Take time o. cool

Today now, the Germany government said if after getting they machines from Canada and fix the NS1 maintenances, then Russia refuses to pump gas back to normal then Russia have declare economy war on Germany and EU as a whole.

Like seriously angry
Only Hungary still have cheap fuel price because of Orban and now Finland will removed all the road block to Russia on June 30 because most Finnish travel to Russia to buy fuel inside tanks but since the blockade, fuel price have hit all time high in Finland.
Much of the Collective west are full of crazy leaders with myopic views of economic matters.

Take for instance,

March: Lithuania was the first to sanctioned itself off Russian gas and oil, urging other European nations to do the same.

June: Lithuania set aside 570 million Euros to compensate their citizens for the added cost they have to bear due to a sharp increase in gas prices in the country since they are now getting their gas from ship loaded LNG platforms.

Now, does this make any sense? They seek to inflct economic pains on Russia, but at the same time, they are paying for the cost of the pain they feel they're inflicting on Russia via hike in prices while also inflicting themselves ergrogrously. If this is not madness, then I wonder what is.

And we have not even gotten to winter yet. Germany is already crying "economic war". These guys are mad.

Young Man, you see, the problem you and your irks have is that you have this notorious notion that everyone who have a better view about Russia's military operation in Ukraine is "Pro-Putin or Pro-Russia".
What you failed to see and digest is that, this military campaign is extremely deeper than what you're being fed with. This operation is beyond Russia versus Ukraine, mba No!
It's beyond land grabbing or resource taking. It's beyond what you can ever imagine my dear brother.
When you surf the net, you're only browsing within the "surface web". There's something called the "Dark web and Deep web". What you will find on the dark or deep web is beyond anything your mind can comprehend.
I used that just as an analogy.
People like me that have a positive view about Russia, is not because I hate the West or America, it's because I have passed the stage you're in today and things going on beneath the surface is clear to me.
Ain't saying Russia is a saint, far from it, but neither are those who gathered against Russia.
When you understand who these people are, and you get privy to what they've been putting the whole globe through and their "great reset" plan, your support for them will naturally go dead.

That Russia you hated so much is still the ONLY country that's making sure America is checked and that America doesn't have absolute power.
It's that same Russia that's Balancing the power, i.e she's the other side of the balancing scale that's not making the world tilted towards one side.
Please, do broaden your horizon and widen your knowledge about international politics and what is really going on beyond what we read on the internet.
Shalom.
You just lectured a zombified gringo who has refused all sane attempt to pull his eyes and brains off the western charade Hollywood diabolic life he so much crave.

THE PLANNING OF THE WAR AGAINST RUSSIA
A video, filmed during John McCain’s visit to Ukraine in 2016, has resurfaced. It shows the senator accompanied by his colleague and friend, Senator Lindsey Graham, and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko
Like what one angry Ukrainian said on TV, if it was Poroshenko that was president, he would have negotiated a deal with the Russians and this war wouldn't have ever happened. But when you have a clown as a leader, you can expect nothing but chaos and death.

How this comedian fooled people around the world is just amazing, all those pro Ukraine losers you see are just people that are challenged and envy Russia, the war makes no difference to them .
When Russia said they moved in because zelensky had plans to take back Donbass by Force regardless of how many gets killed there the foolish western media and politicians said they were lying
Zelensky is an asset of the CIA, and that is becoming obvious everyday.

Well, he planned and wanted a war with Russia, and now he has it.

Just last Tuesday, Russian standoff missiles strikes pounded Nikolaev killing more than 500 Ukrainian soldiers who were sheltered in a ship parts building factory. And Zelensky described the Russian attack as Cruel and inhuman. Can you imagine? When his troops were shelling, assassinating and killing civilians in Dumbass for the past 8 years, he didn't knew it was cruel. How this man manage to fool the whole of the EU except Hungary and Turkey, is beyond me. But, on the second thought, much of the EU leaders are just like him.

I just feel sorry for Ukraine as a country with Zelensky as the head. After this SMO, Ukraine will never be the same country again.

What's wrong with Russia's military performance so far? You tell me.

Whether you're a Biden's fan or not, doesn't change the fact he is one hell of a failure in the foreign policy front. Heck, even the Saudis gives him the middle finger, and why wouldn't they? After all, here is a president that shakes thin air after making a speech. Never has anyone seen such embarrassment in the history of American government. cool

Old Joe can't even get baby formula for the US, and he had to pass through the backdoor to get Russia's fertilizers he once sanctioned. I wonder how much stakes are left that he can raise with Ukraine against Russia. cool

Biden, from one end of his mouth, refers to inflation and high costs of gas and food as pain people have to endure as they gradually whine the country off fossil fuel. On the other end of his mouth, he calls it 'Putin price hikes'.

He campaigned on shutting down Fossil fuels. His first actions were series of executive actions aimed at stopping oil exploration.
He seems to be making good on that promise but when he's asked if that is what is going on? He says no, blame Putin.
Honest, is confusing how these leaders thinks and act.

Gas price have hit over €1300 now and if it hit around €2K, German automobiles companies will cut off staff and same with the chemical manufacturing companies
Russia is gradually turning the screws at every turn. Gazprom had reduced gas supply to Germany and Italy by 35 percent, citing maintenance problem on the pipelines, which they alleged is due to the Sanctions on Russia. But Italy and Germany said it's a lie; a political move by Russia weaponizing gas.

I sometimes wonder whether these EU leaders are kids. You weaponized your financial institutions - which are your products - in a bid to screw the economic prowess of the hand that feeds you. And when that hand now withdraws albeit a little from feeding you, you come out and cry foul. Who does that?

Both economies will be pushed to ......

Too much ignorance in one post.
1. You need enriched Uranium to produce electricity with uranium - Russia holds 46% of the world's capacity.
2. Many European and even American nuclear plants depends on Russian technology. All Russia need to do is stop spare parts from reaching them.
3. Russia produces its own microchip enough for military use. But imports most of its need for civilian use.
4. However, without Russia, most microchip producers can't produce because Russia controls over 40% of neon gas (a very important material needed for chip production.) With its capture of Mariupol and impending capture of Odessa, Russia would control over 80% of neon gas worldwide and that's absolutely going to wreck havoc if Russia decides to withhold neon gas. Price of neon gas has already risen by over 1000% since beginning of the war.

The world need Russia, it is too big a country to be ignored
I wanted to write most of what you just wrote but seeing you have done a great service of educating the ignorant minds here, I will just rest my case.
