Is Iraq, and Iraqis still existing, despite the carpet bombings?
Ukraine too will continue to exist after its criminal devastation by Putin.
Keep encouraging evil.
Life has a way of spreading evil to those who love seeing it meted on others.

Blind sentiment is bad enough, self-deception is a disease that is worst than ALS.

If common sense did not tell you that Russia was simply being careful with Ukraine all the while, then I'm afraid you will never have sense again.

Yes, Iraq is still a nation but what can you take home from Iraq today as a nation? Or can you bring back the one million people killed by US and British carpet-bombing campaign?

We are hear saying the obvious vis-a-vis Ukraine and thanking God that the Russians aren't that barbaric, and here you are twisting narratives like we don't value human lives.

It's this kind of self-righteousness delusion imbedded in Zelensky that has put Ukraine into this catastrophic mess.

If a minor doesn't want to be beaten by his mother because of a close but competing neighbor, he would naturally stop running errands for his mother's quarellsome neighbor. But if he proves stubbornness and the mother lift up the cane to spank him, whose fault is it then? Even the quarellsome neighbor would be standing far away cheering on his torture. That's exactly where Ukraine landed itself. No one is rejoicing over her receiving beaten. If a child refused to learn by repeated warnings, he would learn by actionable correction.

It is only ediots and people with warped beliefs that only look to one side of a story.

Everything west west and USA, but same hypocrites are praising the russians for invading a sovereign country. The way you head slamming hypocrites reason baffles eden the jellyfish without a brain.

So all those weapons I've been watching they use ain't thermobaric or you just saw a new english in wikipedia? A clown that does not know that the carpet bombing he is accusing the US of using in vietnam because of the jungle nature of the place is same make of 90% fuel mixture as thermobaric bombs and missiles.

Una hatred for US go kill all of una,
Come answer this honest question, if russia and USA give you free green card which one will you take? If you don't answer it may thunder strike you down.

Tell me Iraq was a jungle that warrants carpet-bombing, the US style or victory.

If you see real Russian thermobaric weapons in action, you will poo in your delusional pants.

Your emotions and illogical reasoning are everywhere.

If Russia was using carpet-bombing style, they won't bother encicling most of the strategic cities like Mariupol, Kherson, Kharkiv, etc., they have encicled now, because there would have been nothing left to encicle. But I guess you didn't figure this because you have your brain tucked deep into MSM propanganda machine of how Ukriane is winning the war.

Yet some people would say he didnt use his full military might.

Lmao. Russia have not even used 30% of it's conventional military might, even a US formal colonel said this recently. From day one, they have been trying to avoid this type of escalation we are seeing now until Zelensky started boasting on mainstream media how he is winning the war, plus some armed civilians ambushing Russian troops with Molotov cocktails. Now that the real bombing has began, the ediots is calling for a No Fly Zone that only the angels of God can enforce. Unfortunately, the angels of God do not play man-made politics.

Zelensky was and still is a fool. He allowed himself to be goaded by the west to fight the Polar bear, now they have abandoned him to use his own people as coming folders.

If Russia should deploy just 3 brigade of their thermobaric flame throwers, it's then he will understand the true meaning of hellfire on Earth. Thank goodness the Russians aren't that barbaric. If this was the US they would have carpet-bomb the whole country by now, killing millions of people. You may want to ask Iraq.

it could be a payback by putin to ukrainian forces that boasted of sending russia forces to hell. "the only way is the way to hell" and they are up to it.

kyiv is really dealing blows and disgracing russia forces. putin has also used 800 ballistic missiles on kyiv so far and they intercepted all with anti-ballistic missiles. this is why he is now frustrated and using shells on civillians.

They intercepted all 800 ballistic missiles yet 70% of Ukro military installations have been vaporized? angry

Keep believing social media Junk and don't open your eyes to the truth. The second millitary power on earth is Russia. In terms of Nuclear assets and capabilities she is number 1. Why don't you ask yourself why NATO and in fact every western power including your almighty US has made it clear they will never be involved millitarily in Ukraine?

Russia will get what it wants. Nothing can stop that. In fact they are using restraint to ensure minimal casualties. They have met all their strategic objectives which is taking over the eastern seaboard of Ukraine where all the warm sea ports are. Final objective is Odessa. Those who understand geopolitics know what I am talking about. Keep listening to CNN and blab rubbish.

So many kids here who don't understand geopolitics. Russia has already achieved it's ultimate goal, which is to secure Ukraine as a buffer state. From now on, Ukraine will never be a member of NATO.

As for reality on the ground, Ukraine is winning the war on social media and lamestream media, while the Russians are doing the real thing. cool

obailala:
Lol... Of course Russia isnt the only country with gas in Europe, but over 40% of Europe's gas supply comes from Russia. Dont be deceived, if Europe really had alternatives, they would have weaned themselves off Russian gas ages ago.

My brother, 40% is not beans; if you cut off 40% of Europe's gas supply, there would be a critical stifling shortage which can push up gas prices for heating homes by up to 300-500%. We're still virtually in winter period when gas demand is still really high, and expecting people to pay that much more on gas cos of Ukraine? You'd be shocked at the kind of protests which would spring up across Europe.

Even before the Ukraine invasion, there's been some unprecedented inflation in gas costs in Europe recently and heating costs are about to rise by up to 60% from April this year. When this happens, there'd be a major public outcry. I wouldnt even want to imagine what would happen if the increase hits up to 300% because of regional politics - there'd definitely he crippling protests.

The problem with most folks here is that they don't understand geopolitics. They argue out of blind emotions and unguarded sentiments.

When the German Chancellor said they can get alternative gas from US and UAE, he was schooled on the realities of his delusional comments, and based on that, Germany was among those nations that shamelessly rejected cutting off all Russian banks from SWIFT because, if they cannot pay for the gas, Russia won't deliver, and if that happens, prices would increase by 300-400% and we all know that the average European citizen has zero tolerance for suffering and pain. Thus, once prices skyrocket, most cities in Europe will witness massive protest, some of which would definitely turn violent.

Similar scenario would have occurred assuming the US started delivering gas to Europe, and that is assuming if they could meet up with demand, and at a very higher price. The UAE they were banking on doesn't have the capacity to meet such demands either.

Either way, prices would definitely go up thereby forcing up an already bad looking inflationary problem. Unfortunately, many of the simpletons here on Nairaland doesn't see these. They are so use to watching Hollywood and gulping all that MSM myopic pundits and analysis present them. There is a reason the Russian ruling elite appears to be unperturbed by the recent happenings. Sanctions would definitely hurt in some ways but their effect will soon run out of steam after some months because the other side would be feeling it too.

You no wise, he knows this that's why he is not going to do that.. Meanwhile he is cashing out from the hike in the price of crude.

Simpletons here don't know the guy and most other oil producing nations are already getting a better check from the war via the hike in oil and wheat prices, as well as in other essential materials like the ones for making chips. Neither will they tell you that same US and EU are still buying Russian crude oil and gas. And you know the funny thing? The Russians won't turn off the taps cause they don't mix politics with economics, so the money via contracts will keep coming from the same west that's imposing sanctions. The likes of Nigeria, UAE, Saudi Arabia etc whom some ediots in the west are banking on to bail them out in the event Russia turns off the taps, are praying vehemently that this frictions between Russia and the west should continue because the hike in price is good for business, and they will not be in a hurry to let this opportunity go by taking sides. cool

You see the logic? cool

Meanwhile, those in Europe and elsewhere who have no oil will have to pay the latest higher prices, and those that buys from Russia, e.g the US will have to pay the new price, meaning they sanctioned themselves in that regard while the hike in prices acts as compensations to the Russians in certain sectors where they lost. Now, you know why they say sanctions are a two-edged sword...it cute both ways. cool

The only language USA hears is nuclear weapon they love this earth and don't want to die like chicken that why any one who has nuclear power they bow and listen to that person by force.

Before I went to sleep, my wife said to me: This Russia is such a bad country, If Ukraine wants to join Nato, it is their business and freedom, Russia has no right to intervene, this is just an excuse for Russia to invade Ukarine.

So I said nothing, I just went to the kitchen and took a knife to bedside, then I said: Let’s go to sleep.

My wife looked at me with her wide eyes: What the heck are you doing, sleeping with a knife?!?!

I said: No worry, let’s go to sleep. Beside, sleeping with a knife is none of your business and it is my freedom.

My wife said: How can I sleep when you are sleeping with a knife? What if you accidentally cut me?

I said: Well, You don’t even trust your own husband, how can you expect Russia to trust Ukraine? Me sleeping with a knife is like Ukraine joining the Nato.

Your analogy is so damn right on point. So many emotionally drained people who do not understand realpolitiks are quick to condemn Russia for invading Ukraine.

But if you're a Russian that was alive during the second world war, you would understand why the current crop of aged and ruling Russians are behaving agressively right now towards Ukraine.

The formal USSR lost millions of people to Nazi Germany invasion despite having a non aggression pact with the enemy. Now, NATO, a sworn Russian enemy is setting up shop next door, and people expect Russia to sit calmly and allow same mistake it did with Germany to repeat itself?

As Putin rightly said, it would be criminally negligent of them to sit and allow NATO to form a fortress around Russia.

Ukraine is just a stark warning to the likes of Finland and Sweden that Russia will act whenever it's core security interest are threatened, vis-a-vis NATO expansionism drive towards the East.

A word is enough for the wise, but action is the medicine that cures the mind that's imbedded in folly.

Russia will do anything to prevent a repeat of Stalingrad for it's current modern population, and Ukraine is a testament to that resolve.

It reminds me of Pac's track 'Me against the world". cool

I'm not impressed with Russian army. If it took them this long to take Ukraine, how can they fight a war with any western country. Ukraine is so small compared to Russia and their soldiers are young cry babies now

You don't know what You're talking about.

Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe, and it's not by any definition small.

Despite being supported by Britain, it took the USA 3 weeks to seize Baghdad, and that's at the expenses of carpet-bombing and killing thousands of harmless women and children.

Russia isn't out to carpet-bomb Ukraine, however the modus operandi has changed a bit since the Ukrainians were refusing to surrender.

You have to appreciate Russia here for being so humane and yet is now in control of the Ukronazis airspace and most of the big cities are surrounded. If it were the west, they would have bombed everyone and everything to the ground.
