Make uncle sam come help them collect the island
This is wat we've been saying. Mind ur freaking bussiness but busy body de worry all dos US poppies they call allies..now Japan don prize market. U de sanction country wey u get security treaty wit. Wat were they expecting sef

When God was blessing some countries with leaders that can reason geopolitically and strategically, the Devil came and baptized some with zombified leaders wired to make strategic mistakes in the guise of massaging the ego of their so-called ally.

Pathetic.

Oddfinder:
Ypu guys really underestimate Russia...this was how Ukraine was pushed..japan wey no get Army again

Allow them to dream.

KaluwisxPRO:
Japan is cleared to decimate Russia’s Air Force and their weak Navy.

Russian ground troop is zero, that’s gonna be a big blow to Russian military if Putin miscalculate again.

It's good to dream. You don't pay for them, even if you dream for others.

MangekyoAlt:
E don finish. I am reading now that the thing really pain the Japanese people
I'm sure we will start seeing some hypersonic missiles stationed in that island soon

Russia is way too big by itself to further consider adding additional territories. But anytime you see Russia holding on to any territory, know that such is very strategic, and that's what the two Islands are.

The straight between these islands does not freeze at all during winter, which is crucial to Russia's defence because it gives the Russian Pacific fleet all-round access to the Pacific ocean without having to rely on permission from other straights controlled by foreign countries. Japan just sanctioned itself from these crucial islands. It is a sad goodbye.

The fuming Japanese leader should have thought this through before hunching its pygmyfied shoulders to join the western driven sanction train. This just shows how some nations are blessed with unintelligent leaders who commit strategic mistakes that impact their nations negatively while serving the interest of others.

May the Japanese anime and martyred Samurai rise from the dust of Hiroshima to behead each of the Japanese high ranking officers that contributed to this strategic mistake.

Gradually, Japan is kissing the islands final goodbye. The Russians will now heavily militarised them and turn them into their backyard footrest just as they plan to nationalize the more than 500 western leased commercial planes now stranded in Russia after the west introduced sanctions.

Sanctions are a two-edged sword that hurts both sides in a brawl.

The wickedness of the human heart is appalling. Truly, man is a failed project.

Bellerophon:
Lol!!! I am so tired of this forum! Grown men talking about war like it is a fisticuff! Lol the war is not going to Putin’s plan and that is the honest truth! The overhyped modernization of his army has only being a smokescreen for a false projection of strength! Russia quite rightly is a superpower but this war has been Putin’s greatest miscalculation! There has been nothing strategic about spending ridiculous sums to continue to fight a war according to you and the rest of the numbskulls glorifying Russia’s tomfoolery on here that can be won in 48 hours deploying the full extent and might of their conventional weapons!!

So it is wisdom spending scare resources on a war that you can easily win but rather you decide to draw it out depleting your armory and stockpile of military hardware, incurring personnel loss as well as financial loss? The truth is Putin grossly miscalculated else he wouldn’t be needing Mercenaries to fight “small Ukraine” according to his lapdogs on here which you foolishly just made yourself a part of! Fighters from Chechnya, Syria, and the wastelands of the world are crawling from their terrorist caves enroute to your Mother Russia! Even in war there are ethical redlines, Putin has none!

You sound so intelligently foolish whenever you rant.

It's easy for you to point out the 'flaws' of Putin's Russia while ignoring the reality that even the best fighting force sometimes don't have things it ways easily as planned, and that include your loving United Snakes of Amerika.

It took the US military SIX MONTHS to prepare for invasion during “Desert Shield” – in spite of huge prepositioned stores and a totally supportive KSA – and another MONTH to invade Bagdad which was basically undefended, and close to a MONTH to overwhelm it despite been aided by allies like Britain. You think wars are so easy so long a big power with big guns are involved. On your myopic premise, one can safely dedduced that the US is overrated and and it's advanced military was just a smokescreen, right? In fact, the US has not won a single war since WWII and never waged an existential war in its entire history. Do you REALLY think that you are competent to teach Russians how to fight? At least, next time you prepare to give Russians lessons, try to remember this factoid: during WWII the Soviet Army liberated one thousand two hundered (1’200!!!) cities from Nazi occupation forces. As for civilians casualties, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden and “500’000 dead Iraqi children as “worth it” – that all you. As is the vicious and genocidal bombing of the DPRK and Vietnam. So, remind me, who are you again to give us lessons about how Russia should fight? Every nation musnt achieve victory the usual American way--carpet bomb the enemy cities and kill thousands of children, women, goats, chickens and sheeps. So keep your myopic criticism to thyself and let the Russians do what is right in their eyes. You should be ashamed that even the west so-called evil Putin's Russia is asking the besieged enemy to surrender and even opening humanitarian corridors for civilians to leave, unlike your cursed United Snakes of Annihilation that would simply destroy everything to the ground.

Why wouldn't you call Ukraine small since your ignorance didn't tell you it's the second biggest country in Europe with a large fighting force that has been receiving training from western military instructors and has consistently been given advanced military weapons plus a well stocked weaponry of their own, plus the Intel they have been receiving from NATO.

It's convenient for you to accuse Russia for bringing in mercenaries when that is a trademark of the US in Iraq, Syria, and in Afghanistan. Where was your puerile ethical redline talk for the US? And you didn't know that Chechnya is part of Russia and Syria is an ally. It's weak and foolish of Russia to call them in but it isn't weak and foolish of the US to use Blackwater or NATO allies to fight a riff-ragged, airforceless and AK-wielding Afghan Taliban and weak Iraqis. Your jingoism is blinding.

MangekyoAlt:
The city is already surrounded. The russians have them at their mercy
For them to even ask them to consider surrendering is an art of generosity on their part.
Now that the "Brave" Ukrainian troops have refused to, I hope snowflakes from the west and their silly bots on this forum wouldn't come here to scream foul or war crime when russia starts leveling the city to the ground.
Hundreds, thousands will die. This is the realities of war. And according to Thanos "Reality is often disappointing". Ukrainian troops should wake up to the fact that mariopul has been cut off from the rest of Ukraine and do as they're told else, I hope them no go start to dey post on their medias say Russia bombard their city into rubbles

The Russians have refused to open new humanitarian corridor in Mariupol because it turns out that some of the ultra nationalists criminal units were withdrawing and leaving the city dressed as civilians. Meanwhile, the complete blockade it's to make sure that the bunch of those nationalists are gathered together and completely annihilated. Let's wait and see what comes next as the 5.pm deadline to surrender has elapsed.

Drenimarcus:
Late news, they sent this last week. Guess what, Russia tracked the plane, as soon as it came into Ukraine, they bombed it. The mall they bombed yesterday was a ammunition depot. Now, Germany is saying they cant send any more weapons to Ukraine. No more sanctions.

These westerners allowed their emotions becloud them.

So many of them don't even know that the Russians have deeply infiltrated the Ukrainian forces. They knew of all main shipment, plus the Russian highly secretive military satellites orbiting the Ukrainian airspace, which make them to detect all weapon movements and shipments of the Uki forces. You need to see the huge underground weapon storage Depot seized by Chechen columns recently in Ukraine. This is why Zelensky is so agitated and frustrated recently. Instead of him to arrive at a compromise, he is just hanging on straws thinking he can actually win against a formidable force like Russia. It is only an ediot who will hope to win with drones against a fighting force with the best missile technology on the planet. It's a pity how that man thinks.

NigeriaNawa:
The USA also has hypersonic missiles and guess what ? Over 5000 thermonuclear war heads. So, just as Russia can destroy US cities, the US can destroy Russian cities. And besides, when you add NATO, Russia is up against circa 7000 thermonuclear war heads.

Small reminder - Nobody wins in a nulcear war.

The US doesn't have Hypersonic missiles.

Hanibbal:
Russia will soon bomb where those drones are housed. And Zelensky still thinks "Let us keep resisting I know that NATO will come and defend us one day"

Khinzal and Dagger Hypersonic missiles already doing press-up awaiting the location where this shipment would be delivered. They will be wiped out with high precision missiles, just like the first batch and much of the second batch of Turkish supplied Bayrakter drones were completely wiped out by Russian cruise missiles.

I really feel sorry for Ukraine, the prize it has to pay for being led by a comedian.

Oh, so because he is using western product he has no right to critic them for whatever wrong they do? It's this type of thinking that made Bob Marley to cry 'Emancipate yourself from mental slavery'.

Your logic presupposes that if your landlord is sexually abusing your daughter, you shouldn't say anything about it because you're living in his compound and he might give you quit notice. You're not making sense bro.

NOETHNICITY:
Whenever I reflect on the level of damage done to africa by those western countries hiding under democracy to inflict imperialist damages, I weep. Particularly, What they did to Libya. A country that was working beyond imagination. With living standard better than those obtainable in the west. Suddenly the West came with all sorts of contrived invectives against gadafi. We foolish, dumb and brainless Africans thought the West wanted us to better. We supported them to destroy Libya and killed gadafi. Alas the once most prosperous country in Africa is nothing to write home about now.

Oh, why are you reminding me of this now?

I feel bitter each time someone tells me this things, knowing that our African leaders acquiesce to the destruction of Libya out of pure envy and wicked jealousy. God will punish the west for what they did to Libya, Iraq and Syria, for all the innocent lives lost and society destroyed.

AirFireEarthH20:
Israeli PM went to Russia and then Ukraine to meditate on the crisis so the war can end. Unfortunately, he found that the Ukraine President is more interested in requesting for more weapons and volunteers rather than immediate dialogue. Bennett wasn't impressed and he left. How can a reasonable leader, instead of asking world leaders to meditate to end the war, instead continue to ask for weapons to fight war he's clearly loosing, his people dying and infrastructure destroyed? I just don't understand Mr Zelensky's motive.

The Israeli Prime minister found out that Zelensky is just a puppet who can't say no to those urging him not to give in to Russia's demand that would just end the war. He is being controlled, and that's why he never gets tired going from one televised appeal for more weapons to another to continue fighting the war that he has lost already. It's high time this man's comedic madness is addressed before he ruin Ukraine completely.

What a strong thing

The whole world is filled with hipocrisy. Not even the west alone but now the Israelites against their fellow Jewish nation's

Since when did Ukraine become a Jewish nation?

princeeze1:
You are even more ignorant with your last statement, please between the west and Russia who has more in the other’s territory? Do you know the collective value of the multinational cooperations that invested in Russian oil, gas and steel? Over 300 companies pulled out or suspended operations without pulling out their capital and fixed investments as there is an embargo on that. Do you know the collective value worth of over 300 foreign companies? We should be looking at over a trillion dollars. If they choose to swap seizures, the western loses would be colossal.

So many people are clueless about what is really happening.

Right now, if Russia chose to nationalize the assets of those companies that stops doing business in Russia, many of them would find it difficult balance the books for the rest part of the financial year. The amount they will lose is just too huge compared to what Russia would lose.

seunny4lif:
Those foreign fighters are already crying on Reddit.
They were told lies about Ukraine war according to those that posted.
Ukraine was winning was what they saw on MSM and then they joined the Ukraine troops only to be getting missiles from air.
They thought it was like Iraq and Afghanistan were no airstrikes can happen to them

It's such unfortunate that Russia has turned these Foreign mercenaries and soldiers of Ukraine into testing toys for it's hypersonic missiles. This latest attack was yet again carried out by cruise missiles and the Khinzal and Dagger hypersonic missiles that can also carry nuclear warheads. While I hate this war, the blood of those Ukrainian soldiers will forever be upon the head of Zelensky. This is a war he could have avoided from the first day Russia started the operation, but he foolishly went on boasting from one social media to another of how he is winning the war. This is really painful.

BKayy:
They haven't seen anything yet. I told them that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if she haven't figured out a way to deal with US sanctions.

I warned that at the end, the poor will end up eating the rich in the Western devilish countries and they thought I was joking. Now they are battling a little hunger. Its not yet serious.

By the time the hunger reaches stage two, they will be forced to consider importing wheat in Rubles and Yuan.

Welcome to the new world order. The fall of Dollar and the American Empire.

Worst is if Putin decides to take undue advantage of this situation: turn off the gas tap and imagine the chaos that would follow. Many European leaders would be burnt alive. The average western European have no stomach and stamina to tolerate hardship for one month, let alone on such a large scale.

If Russia should turn off the taps, it would be hell on many European capitals. It will look like a coordinated rebellion.

grandstar:
What online troll rubbish? Why do you people want to bury your heads in the sand?

First, Russia might be the largest country in the world based on land size, However, it is not the largest economy in the world. It is not even amongst the 10 largest economies in the world. In Europe alone, Germany, Britain, France, and Italy have economies much larger than that of Russia. The United Kingdom's economy is double that of Russia, despite having less than half its population. The German economy triple that of Russia.

Russia will feel the sting of their sanctions far greater than what it imposes on. Which country had its currency collapsing about 2 weeks ag0- was it Germany or Russia? The drastic collapse of a country's economy is usually signalled by the collapse of its currency.

Yes, these countries will feel some pain,. but the pain on the Russian economy has been horrendous and it has been all over the news unless you lived in denial and did not want to hear it.

You stated that other countries apart from the EU and US trade normally with Russia. That is not accurate. Japan and Taiwan haveplaced sanctions on Russia. You can't blame Taiwan as it too is petrified that China, which has its eyes on the island may be tempted to follow Russia's bad example.

Now, let's focus on the real problem. Considering that there were agreements that certain countries were not to join NATO after the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s, Russia has a right to be upset.

However, Putin too was part of the problem. His constant nefarious interference in the affairs of many former Soviet countries was what encouraged many of them to seek NATO membership.

You just wrote a whole epistle without making much sense.

I ask you again is it every country in the world that ban flights from going to Russia. It's a simple question, answer it.

I said most other countries in the world, and you came up with just Japan and Taiwan. How many countries are there in Asia alone? How many are there in Africa? South/North Latin America? Many countries still do business with Russia and none give a dime about anything. Heck, even the sheepish EU still buys Russian gas and oil as we speak. Who is fooling who?

The world is changing and a new dawn of multipolarism is breaking gradually. China and India alone dwarf the EU, the US, put together in terms of population which drives market share. This is why India and China still doing business with Russia matters so much. Add that to other Asian countries, Africa and Latin America and you will understand. Whatever effect the sanctions is having is but for the short-term, and to be frank, it's not even sustainable for glaring reasons.

Horrendous you say? The Rubble have plunged to it's lowest in a decade against the Dollar, but if that is what you called horrendous, then I'm afraid you need to do some fact check.

Iran, North Korea, Venezuela have been in worst sanction but they still thrive and even emerge stronger in some cases. Russia has a far more dynamic economy than the aforementioned countries, and have emerged from similar worst situations in time past. Watch and see who blinks first. Sanctions are a two edged sword that hurt both sides in a brawl. Prices of commodities are already up across Europe. The UK is already advising workers not to drive their vehicles all the time to save on the cost of rising gas/oil prices. German Chancellor who ignorantly boasted that Germany would simply replace Russia with UAE should Russia turn off the pipes have gotten his delusion shattered. The UAE have said they lack the capacity and the capability to replace RUSSIA in the European market. The US Federal Reserve has already raised interest rates to cushion the rising inflation made worse by the Russian brouhaha. Biden is still looking for replacement for the ban Russian oil import even as prices continue to soar. UAE and Saudi Arabia are refusing his calls. Some European countries are already changing from ouright aggressive tone to a 'let's be careful' rhetorics. Because the reality is hitting gradually. It is only a myopic ediot who thinks that a country like Russia can be crippled with economic sanctions. The recent geopolitical play by Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, India, and Pakistan has sent signals to those who think they hold all the aces when it comes to bullying nations. A new era is unfolding before our very eyes.

grandstar:
Whether India buys or does not buy Russian oil, the Russian economy is already in trouble. Half of those sanctions are enough to cripple any country. Do you know what it means when commercial airlines can not fly to your country?

Biden has said the sanctions will not be permanent but will depend on Russia putting an end to its invasion of Ukraine. That, however, won't stop Putin.

You speak like a typical troll. Is it every country that aren't flying planes to Russia? With the exception of the EU and US, most other countries of the world are dealing with Russia normally. Besides, the sanctioners have more to lose from the ban than Russia has to lose.

The size of Russia alone means that most of the nations in Europe and beyond that sanctioned it would have to fly longer hours to get to their destinations as the Russian counter ban forbids them from using it's airspace, which is far costly for Europeans compared to the effect Russia would face.

Consider this:

Russia’s total natural resources are valued at USD 75 trillion.

Russia has the largest reserves and is the largest exporter of natural gas. It has the second largest coal reserves, the eighth largest oil reserves and is the largest exporter of oil and wheat in the world.

Russia is a leading producer of copper, fluorspar, iron ore, lime, gold, magnesium compound and metals, mica, cobalt, aluminum, asbestos, arsenic, cadmium, coal, cement, boron, bauxite, vanadium, titanium sponge, tin, tungsten, potash, sulfur, silicon, rhenium, steel, pig iron, nickel, palladium, phosphate, petroleum, nitrogen, peat and oil shale.

Russia has 40% of world’s gold reserves.

20% of the global production of industrial grade diamonds and 25% of global gemstone production come from Russia.

11% of the global aluminum market is controlled by just one Russian company, Rusal.

Russia has more than a fifth of the world's forests. About one-fifth of the timber in the entire world is present in the forests of Siberia.

If you laid the oil and gas pipelines of Russia around the equator, it would encircle earth 6 times.

Only one lake of Russia, Lake Baikal has 20 percent of entire fresh water in the world. Russia has 4 of the 10 largest rivers in the world.

Russia’s top 20 billionaires have a combined wealth of about USD 250 billion, which is more than the GDP of 150 individual countries in the world.

Russian inventions include transformer, helicopter, video-tape recorder, synthetic rubber, grain harvester, electrical telegraph, arc welding, radiator, powdered milk and thousands of other things without which life would be very different today.

Russia is not a shit hole ur masters made u believe

Well said.

cooltola:
Why did the soviet union fall? History repeat itself- Soviet Union fell because of Bad economic and other political factors - The same is meant to happen to Russia if their economic does not improve- The Ruble is dropping fast. Fighting a war is very expensive and will require Russia will use their resource. It does not matter if they have strong men running the country or backing Putin, Once the sanctions are affecting the average Russians- The core of Putin Support might not be so strong If the economic does not improve- The worst thing in fighting a war is losing the support of general Russians, if Putin can keep his approval rating high among the average Russians then he has a chance to be in power or vice versa.

Did you see the thousands of pro-Putin Russians that gathered yesterday to celebrate with Putin the bringing back of Crimea? Some people simply do not understand Russia. One thing that unite all Russians is when there is an international gang up against its national life. And what is happening is exactly that. Putin's approval rating will only take a massive dive downhill if ordinary Russians become unable to fend for themselves, but unfortunate for the west, it would never come to that. For a country that has 11 time zones and resting on multiple continent, it's wishful thinking that they can be isolated completely. Just like it has done with India, Russia will surely find alternate markets for it's main goods. At the end, Europe will be the biggest loser.

Bigchristo:
US and EU along with some of their foot soldiers here on Nairaland will be so pained to hear this news, they want to see Russia drown but unfortunately Russia is opening doors to another people to patronize their oil and gas, soon they will threaten India with Sanctions

They bought the oil on a cutdown rate. Now do the math: the price of oil is $104 per barrel, assuming Russia sold to India on a lower rate of $80 per barrel, multiply it times 3 million, and see how the US and It's western cronies are pained by this recent India purchase.

Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar are among the committee of truly 'independent' nations snubbing the US to pursue their own independent economic interest with Russia and China.

In yet another blow to the US effort to isolate Russia, Moscow have announced that it would provide nuclear submarine to the Brazilian navy in another multi billion Dollar deal that is set to irk Washington.

Interesting times ahead.

Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky made a fresh appeal for meaningful talks with Moscow Saturday to stop the incasion, as Russia said its soldiers had entered the centre of besieged city Mariupol, "tightening the noose" around the key port.

Live: Ukraine's Zelensky calls for fresh talks, Russia says entered besieged Mariupol centre

france24.com

Time for talks are over. You were winning on social media, continue with the win while Russia continue to "withdraw" by advancing further and further deeper into Ukraine. Very funny and pathetic.

It's such unfortunate that this comedian president have turned his country into a testing ground for all sorts of weapons. Russia just used the Khinzal hypersonic missile to destroy an underground warehouse in Ukraine, making the first country to use hypersonic missile in a war. I really feel sorry for the Ukrainian people.

chopnaira:
The only people talking about it are people that know zilch about how the industry work.

Canada has been sending down a record number of oil barrels to the US from 2021 till date despite the pipeline not going ahead. I bet you did not know that.

The pipeline is just a means of transportation (safer perhaps as there are no issue of derailment except leaks), nothing more to it.

Are you actually comparing what pipelines carries with what trains carries? It's funny.

JohnBullMySon:
I'm talking about College students. not 15 yr olds. besides I never saw India and China mentioned above US in what you wrote.

to go to Stanford or MIT as an international student is extremely hard. 70% of MIT student are US citizens while at Stanford it's 80%. Bring any independent organization that ranks Universities. They are always at the top. Webo metrics have their ranking indices on their website for everyone to see.

So you're still a dunce. No offense bro.

So you couldn't disprove the fact that US rank way lower in STEM courses compared to India and China. You're very funny. Who is talking of 15 years old? On the link I sent earlier, where was US position in mathematics and other STEM courses?

You talk like it's only Stanford and MIT you have in the country. Asians make up the highest population of STEM graduates almost each year in the US. It's a fact.

So you're still duncer.

chopnaira:
When you know nothing about the oil industry but decides to comment anyways

The Keystone is not an oilfield. it's a pipeline..The oil is continuing to flow in from Canada, just through other means (Rail and Trucks). So, it actually would have nothing do with the current supply imbalance or prices.

I know that the Keystone is a pipeline and I did mention it. Pipelines vs trucks? Is a huge difference in balance and imbalance. otherwise no one would be talking about the damn pipeline.

seunny4lif:
Any country that don’t learn from this will completely get Bleep.

I’m expecting regime change in Saudi and UAE now
When Saddam and Gadaffi tried to change from Petrol-dollar, we all knew what happened.

Of course, we saw what happened to Saddam and Qaddaffi, but this time, it's going to be a tough challenge for ths US to crack because, this is going to happen on multiple fronts, and right now, the US economy is in no shape to stage multiple military conflicts at a go.

Already, the Federal Reserve have raised interest rates due to risen inflation, and any further addition to that will spark public unrest which the Dems can't afford at the moment.

One thing I have discovered about this recent government is that it is lacking strategists. The inability of Biden and his team to separate realpolitiks from economics speaks volumes. How can you allow yourself to be pressured to ban Russian oil import when you know it would further increase the already rising cost of oil while you have no backup substitute for the short-term? It's so fvcking unbelievable.

Information making the rounds now is that members of the Federal Reserve are angry that they were not consulted before taking such actions, which is now telling on the economy via the rise in consumer goods.

They went to Maduro in the hope of getting him to turn against Russia, but it didn't work out, as much as I know.

They send delegates to Saudi Arabia and the UAE asking them to help by flooding the market with more volumes of crude, but both Middle Eastern countries gave them the middle fingers. How do you expect them to increase their outputs to lower the rising oil price when they are making so much money from the hike in prices? The US arrogance at times smirks of stupidity.

Now, out of shame, they can't revise the Russian oil ban anymore, except Biden we have to restart the Keystone Pipeline project and force a lower oil price globally. But that too will have to summount many political and .environmentalists hiccups which traditionally have stood against fracking.

Some countries sensing this have already started working around the clock to ensure that the price remain high for the time being. It wasn't much of a surprise that Qatar officials were in Russia to visit Putin. UAE and Russia foreign ministers just held a joint press conference on some irrelevant things, but we know what the real deal is: SOLIDARITY. Pakistan was there earlier. Now are you surprise that Russia is keeping the war in Ukraine so slow in achieving it's major objectives? THINK!

This is geopolitics at play and this time, the US has put itself on a very bad back pedal. Except something remarkable happens, we are witnessing the start of the collapse of the petrol dollar.
