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.

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.

FRANCE 24 English


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.

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.

seunny4lif:
Saudi and many countries saw what happened with Russia and want to move many of her foreign reserve to China and also want to start trading with China using Chinese money.


Iran already using Yen and Ruble since Iran was cut from SWIFT.
Iran and Russia trade with China have increased massive without Swift.

Even Japan with all the noise of Sanctions have refused to cut off the massive deal with Russia at Far East Russia.

This war will change the face of things forever

India is now onboard to buy Russian oil at slashed rates, and guess what currency: their own and Russian currency.

Obama wasn't wrong about Biden when he said "Never underestimate Joe's ability to fvck things up". Biden have just sanctioned the death of the petrol dollar.

It's game on.

Already happening. When you weaponize your currency to bully and truncate the economy of another, other state actors are taking notes and they know that one day, it could be their turn to suffer same fate. The United States courtesy of Let's Go Brandon have just sanctioned the death of the US Dollar via the petrol dollars. It's a gradual process but the death have already started.

Truer words have never been said. Articles like this should be on the front page but unfortunately we live in a world of alternate reality where the lie is the truth and the truth made to look like the lie.

Pathetic.

Drenimarcus:
Watch as this will sweetly grace the front page. I know when Mariupol falls this weekend, they will cower.

I'm so ashamed with the way some Nigerians reason. They can't even see that many of the Lamestream media are putting out fake and unverified information most times to increase traffic. It's pathetic how people are falling for these things.

This is a war Ukraine is losing in all theatre of warfare, but the mainstream media want you to believe otherwise. I really feel sorry for the Ukrainian people. Its clear that they want Ukraine to be reduced to rubble. Zelensky is everywhere holding televised meeting speaking to different governments, from US to UK to Germany, pleading for a no fly zone and Europe to do more to stop the war. Yet, some people thinks he is winning.

Some parents have wasted their money on educating some of their wards.

rottennaija:
Ukraine and the West winning the online propaganda war while Russia is winning in Ukraine

It's very funny seeing how some folks here have been zombified beyond redemption in so much that they can't even pause to think for themselves.

With the way Russia is losing on social media, the war should be over by now.

Pathetic thinkers.

rottennaija:
All are western media source. Believe it at your own peril.

Pure propaganda. It's laughable that some gringos are rejoicing over a fake news when Ukraine is suffering immensely.

Militant30:
Check the source of the News first

Putin is not winning the war but Zelensky is begging for cease fire

If a soldier is caught licking intels he should be arrested.

What a dunce
Check the link below on the best STEM schools in the world and see if Russia is mentioned anywhere

https://www.studyinternational.com/news/top-universities-stem-2020/

You are even more duncer....Sorry.

Where did I mentioned Russia? When you want to bring facts, consult reputable sources, not the ones that focused mainly on Western indixes or from eurocentric viewpoint.

Here is what Pew Research says:

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/02/15/u-s-students-internationally-math-science/

US don't even come close in mathematics. Even Russia you mentioned is ahead of the US

Even in some science courses where their institutes fairs a bit better, majority of the students are foreigners.

It will interest you to know that the most educated ethnic group in America are Nigerians.

It's fact that the US lags behind India and China in STEM.

JohnBullMySon:
Russians are the king of what?

Can you even compare America's universities to Russia's universities in research output?

How many technology advancements have happened in Russia? What other benefits do they bring to the world currently asides from selling raw materials?

They only know how to build missiles and nuclear weapons so that they can brag about being a "world power". Even China is miles ahead of them.

Lmao. This got me laughing out loud. Go and do research on STEM and see which country turns out the best brains ever in that field. US Universities are not even close talkless of being the best in STEM courses/modules.

It's such unfortunate that the US education system now prioritize law and humanitarian courses than STEM courses.

seunny4lif:
Not that one
The Tu drone of Ukraine military flew over 3 NATO countries and crashed in the city of Croatia.
Hungary and Croatia PMs already questioned NATO def missiles and the drone was armed

There are reports of Russia now bringing in the 'big boys' like Krasukha 4, SU-35 and Su-57 into the war theatrez and some other previously unknown military tech, especially in the EW area. Who knows if it was the Russians that sent that drone to test the reaction time of NATO, since Ukraine is denying it own the plane.

I just hope that this conflict would end soon, because I'm begining to feel something seriously bad is yet to happen.

seunny4lif:
Reason I said NATO can only attack small nations.
I knew that during Georgia war and confirmed in Syria war.
USA can’t even get a no fly zone in Syria since 2011 to help rebels

Looks like NATO radars are as useless as the patriot dud missiles. The Russians flew 600 kms undetected and bombed the living daylights out of the largest NATO terror base in western Ukraine. Russians have the audacity and balls of steel. JAI RUS!

seunny4lif:
Ukraine is now a landlocked country and Russia controlled the 40% of wheat now.
China and Turkey need wheat like mad as Hungary president banned export of wheat

The west have exhausted all their options they have in terms of soft power. The only thing left for them now is to get involved directly and risk nuclear war or just allow Ukraine to die away and make peace with Russia. They crossed a Russian redline and is foolish of them to expect that Russia will capitulate to their senseless pressure of sanctions, forgetting that sanctions are a two-way effect.

Pakistan have already signed a huge economic deal with Russia, and some other Asian companies are showing interest in investing where western companies have left over in Russia. Meanwhile, it looks like Putin is about playing another card in the tit-for-tat sanction war. He has said that Russia will give the assets of those companies that left to any Russian citizen willing to work. This mean Russia will be confiscating all the assets of those foreign companies left behind; for example, McDonalds, Nestle, Coca Cola, Shell, etc, etc. This mean, any creative Russian can come up with a new name like 'McDonetsk Burger' and enjoy owning a new business with free assets. Seriously, Putin is a badass strategists.

4 Brazilian foreign fighters who survived the attack already back in Poland. Note: these are military veterans from Brazil!

All the pro Ukraine accounts said as many as 1K or 2K were killed

Propaganda will only serve to destroy Ukraine more.

seunny4lif:

Take that and go back to your dream
USA will not even risk NY for Warsaw.

In another news, this Brazilian said all their units around 200+ killed in the air strikes.
And now he is in Poland on his way back to Brazil.
He will be arrested in Brazil when he enter

Western media are reporting about some deaths but independent media are reporting huge losses of up to 300 foreign fighters destroyed. As for that Brazilian, when he returned home, he will learn to mind his business next time when called upon to enter a crisis involving great powers.

Russia will do anything to win a war close to its borders. The history of the German invasion and the immense suffering they went through means they will NEVER allow anything that threatens their national security to remain unanswered. Whether NATO or anyone, Russia will act with reckless abandon, and this is just the warning.

Sadr:
their own death in Ukraine will be far worst. Their carcass will make a good citation in AMEBO 101 class.

Very. Ediot NATO goaded Ukraine into this war to die and suffer. Now, to save face, they're supplying weapons. But check it now, the Russians are taking them out.

Heck! Russia is now using devastating airpower. SLAVA ROSSIYA!

Lviv: A daring and precise Russian missile attack on a large Ukrainian military facility near the border with NATO member Poland on Sunday killed over 50 people and wounded 174, a Ukrainian official said.

Ukraine said foreign military instructors from US, UK and Canada have previously worked at the base, but a NATO official said they were not certain that no personnel from the alliance at the base. It was not immediately clear whether any non-NATO states might have representatives there.

Regional governor Maksym Kozytskyy said up to four Russian planes flying very low from the east at dusk fired around 30 rockets at the Yavoriv International Centre for Peacekeeping and Security, and circled many times encountering no resistance in a devastating surprise attack.

Sadr:
And it shall be written, "in the days of Putin US used social media and stupidity to hail Ukraine to avoidable annihilation". I just wish the devil can push NATO to enter the conflict...........

They are testing Russia's resolve, thinking that Putin was bluffing when he said Russia will target any foreign weapon supply to Ukraine.

The strike in western axis of Ukraine have destroyed more than 190 foreign mercenary with a large weapon shipment. Info from alternative sources is saying that some foreign military instructors and NATO intelligence officers have been vaporized in the strike.

NATO is learning for the first time that this is Russia at war, not Libya or Iraq. When Russia said it would do something, don't just doubt it. Now, they would take Putin's threat of using tactical nukes seriously. Ediots.

IamAtikulate:
First, war doctrines are documented. But rule of engagements are not.

Rule of engagement is what plays out in the field and reflects a country's war doctrine. But the post you quoted wasn't talking about war doctrine but battle principles or strategy, which is how a country implements its war doctrine in the field.

Like I said earlier, Russian war strategy is anchored on heavy deployment of men and they are also slow which makes them suffer heavy losses in war.

For example, during the winter war, Russia fought small Finland with about 425,000 to 760,000 soldiers while Finland fought with 300,000 to 340,000 soldiers. Russia had over 300,000 total casualties against Finland's 70,000.

Stop confusing yourself. What are doctrines and rules? Rules of engagement are derived from own set doctrines, twisting wordings doesn't change the facts. And based on that, the US carpet-bomb whole cities and kill thousands of civilians as was the case in Vietnam and in Iraq cause that's US war doctrine and practical rules of engagement. Don't lie.

The allied forces fought with an expeditionary force and away from home. Russian attacked from their border and friendly countries.

A fight is a fight, whether fighting hundreds of miles from home or closer to one's border. All wars are same for the US with same conventional military might employed.

The Vietnam war was fought between North and South Vietnams. It was not a direct war with USA but a cold war with the east, against communism. There was no declaration of war, no address to the congress and the government didn't put the country on war footing.

Technically, USA wasn't fighting any war. But people like you don't know that. Sending troops to support allies isn't state of war.

This just shows you have no shame in telling outright lies. Bro, you don't have to be an apostle of mendacity to buttress a point.

US fought a direct war in Vietnam, even the devil knows this to be true.

The US, in its fear of communism was actively supporting the South Vietnamese government with money, Intel and instructors, but to no avail. Then there was an unconfirmed report that North Vietnam army boats attacked a US Navy destroyer, the USS Maddox that was patrolling the Tonkin Golf coast, and this gave the US all the excuses it needed to escalate the war.

Thus, the Golf of Tonkin Resolution in the house of Congress was passed, and Congress gave President Lyndon Johnson the permission to wage direct war on North Vietnam. By 1968, more than half a million American troops were in Vietnam fighting with the war costing $77 billion per year over 10 years.

Your lies are everywhere, and remember Revelations 2:18...and all liars shall have their part in the Lake of fire... Please stop lying to avoid hell.

Lame excuse.

USSR didn't defeat Germany, but Russian weather did.

What overwhelming ground troop?

The total deployment in the Eastern front was 34 million troops for the allied forces while the Axis (German coalition) was 24 million.

During the battle of Berlin USSR invaded with over 2 million troops while Germans defended with about 750k soldiers.

Another shameless excuse. The weather did serious damage to morale and equipment of the advancing Nazis, but it was the undying Russian will to fight against the odds that actually turned the tides. The battle of Stalingrad is a testament to that undying Russian will. The weather didn't match all the way to Berlin, the Red Army did.

Stop spewing trash. 3 million strong Nazi troops deployed on the USSR border isn't an overwhelming force? The best fighting army at the time? Are you for real? If not that the USSR (with some armament supply from allied forces) was able to withstand the huge German forces spread across the Soviet borders in the east, many European countries would be speaking German by now. At every particular time, the Soviets were fighting million of Nazi troops, a situation which none of the other allied nations faced in the entire course of the war.

I don't know what you're trying to gain by being deliberately ignorant. You don't have to be a pro US or pro Russia to admit facts.

Who took Berlin at the end? The Russians. So trash your lame excuses.

I was talking about the invasion. But at the end of the war, USA recorded 2,400 military deaths. You guys are pathetic, Taliban only took over when USA withdrew. Why didn't they take over the country when American soldiers where still on ground.

Even the withdrawal should tell you USA wanted Taliban to take over for geopolitical reasons.

Again, USA met all their war objectives in Afghanistan.

1. To overthrow the Talian government
2. To kill Osama Bin Laden

An invasion has a begining and an ending part. From start to finish, the US alone lost 2400 soldiers, which you claimed earlier was 12 soldiers. Or what were you thinking? As long as the US had it's forces imbedded in that country and was still fighting the same Taliban forces, it remained an invasion force, till it is over can you start taking total death toll nunbers. And we are not even talking of the allied losses too.

Taliban only took over because the US left my foot.

Taliban taken over was imminent because the US was completely bogged down fighting a guerilla style war they weren't fashioned to win, while wasting billions of taxpayers money and losing soldiers. Yet, the Taliban keeps getting stronger and stronger. It was this reality that prompted the US withdrawal. The US initially only succeeded in kicking the butt of the Taliban from government, but it failed woefully to tame let alone destroy them as a fighting and capable force. So no surprise that they're right back in power after the US shameful exit.

What objective were achieved?

The same Taliban they initially removed from government and spend billions of dollars and lives lost fighting for 20 years rolled back into power, overwhelming the Afghan government forces like a pack of cards, same time Uncle Sam was at the airport running away like a tired prostitute. Is that an achievement?

To kill Osama Bin Laden? Lmao Even the purported killing of Bin Laden did not happen in the course of the Afghanistan war, so how is that an objective in the Afghan war?

Besides, Michael Snowden have said that Osama Bin Laden is alive. And why shouldn't we create room for belief in what he said , after all he is a formal top-notch spy asset who has deep contacts. Moreover, the US claimed to have killed the world most wanted man without a single photo to prove it...telling their gullible listeners they just dumped his body into the sea Who buys that easily?

Whatever, the fact is the US failed woefully in Afghanistan and contrary to what you want to believe, the withdrawal wasn't in any way geopolitical, but a reality of failure that was further exarcabated by the bloody, and shameful manner it was done. Recently, the Pentagon have concluded a report on the Afghanistan withdrawal and the conclusion was that it was a terrible withdrawal, which Let's Go Brandon have vowed to reject.

I wasn't talking about first use policy. Russians don't have the mind to use nuclear weapon, but they have a doctrine of using nuclear threat to deescalate conventional war. In the context of what is happening in Ukraine, using nuclear threats means Putin don't have the strength to continue with the war.


The analogy is to show Putin lapdogs that losing Generals in a conventional war is a rare occurrence. It doesn't always happen. Russian just lost another Colonel yesterday.

The only Colonel I can remember Nigeria losing against BH was Col. Ali. But Mother Russia has lost over 5 in 15 days.

Pathetic

Now you agreed that the US has similar or even worse nuclear use policy as Russia. Putin using nuclear threat is directly related to NATO and the US getting directly involved in the conflict, and that's what is called 'preempting the enemy', a strong form of deterrence. And so far, it's working just fine. Even the US won't touch Polish offered Mig-29 jets to Ukraine, and other hotheads in the alliance like Macron of France just said "Russia must be respected". The deterrence is working.

Ukraine parroted list of Russian generals it has killed in the war and you expect us to just believe that without a grain of salt? Why have Ukraine not published the number of casualties they have suffered? If because you easily fall for propanganda and you expect others to tow the same line, sorry to disappoint you, I'm not available. Both sides in this war are guilty of propaganda so be careful what you swallow.

Stop crying more than the beareaved. Ukraine is being decimated strategically as we speak even though Russia decided to use Soviet- era armaments like T72 tanks.

It was folks like you with myopic views that also said Russia can't afford the fight in Syria and would fail woefully cause it has no money or armaments blah blah. But today, the reverse is the case. Almost all parts of that country is now under control of it's legitimate government (Assad). Thanks to Russian military might that annihilated all US-sponsored terrorists. If Russia could commit so much to save an ally far away from home, you can be sure that it will see to the end a challenge that dares it's core national interest close to it's borders. Only the deluded and western media programmed minds will be waiting for Russia to give up on Ukraine.

They will wait till fowl grows teeth.

Serious nations should ban the western media for indiscriminate censoring of truth and facts. This is outrageous. They only want one side of the story. Devilish.

SarkinYarki:
Mariupol is the stronghold of the Azov Nazi Brigade, most people there are are hardened white supremacists combatants..don't let the west decieve you ..That hospital was most likely an ammo dump that was why it was hit with a huge bomb

Exactly. They have been using that hospital and other civilian buildings as operation base and launching attack from within against Russia. The people of that city are talking about the humanitarian altrocities the Azov Batallion has committed, but the Lamestream media has refused to air it. One French journalist who did was heavily criticised for siding with the Russians. The western propanganda and brainwashing machine makes that of Hitler looks like kindergarten. You can imagine.

Ukraine got themselves into this mess, but as humans, there is no crime feeling sorry for them. Besides, most of the people may not have witnessed the Biafran war. That said, it's also fact that some of those pitying Ukraine now do so out of inferior and slave mentality. They didn't put up this act when NATO was destroying Libya, nor when Israeli was committing war crimes against Palestinians.

The death of Kenny almost lead to war as USA military already put her military on high to go to war with USSR because they thought USSR was responsible for his death.
Khrushchev was sleeping when he was told about the death of Kenny and his first question was did USSR did it? Because if USSR was responsible then it a war.

Go and check CIA and KGB secret documents released

You have spare time lecturing a dimwit.

BritishNaija:
The Reason we Started this arguement was because you said Russia totally owns the sky in Ukraine; Which is ofcourse False. And you claiming they have seized ir destroyed all airports which is anothet false claim. So you putting it now "almost" was never the argument, or do you want me to start uploading pictures of downed russian jets by Ukraine sufface to airmissiles?

By the way why did you mention Fox News, Is there anywhere i told you i got my information from force news? Or you are trying to use that to distract the arguement?

There is nothing false in what I said earlier. The Uki have lost the air to the Russians, and that's a fact. There is no balance contest there because they simply did not have the means to rub shoulders with the Russians.

For Christ sake, No Fly Zones are for planes, and the man is not calling for it for nothing. You cannot be asking NATO to imposed a no fly zone over your country if you have considerable control over the same airspace. This is common sense. But because that air control ability isn't there, they're hedged in, bogged down and seriously handicapped to wage counter measures against the enemy, which makes them a sitting duck should Russia decides to use it's overwhelming air power. Zelensky didn't hand weapons to civilians for nothing. He knows that the Ukrainian last stand is on the ground, not in the air nor at sea.

The surprising thing is that the Russians are not even making use of their aviation power that much. One US source even believed that so far, Russia has only use 79 of it's fixed-wing planes, 300 of which are available unto them for this operation, something that still baffles western military analysts/experts. Many reasons have been speculated by some experts regrading the mysterious absense of the Russian airpower in Ukraine. The coming days will make the picture clearer as Russia hedged Ukraine the more.

Still, Ukraine have not been able to launch real attacking aerier countermeasures against the Russians. The reason is obvious. They not only lack the capacity to do so, the air is under the coverage of Russian superior air defenses and and land and space based early warning systems. And now that Russia have stepped up the campaign, Zelensky's call for a no fly zone is intensifying.

Let's not make any mistake about this. Russia, not Ukraine, is the one determining the length of this war, even the west knows this to be true, and this is the more reason they are baffled and confused because no one yet understand what's in the ultimate plan of Putin and why are they toiling with Ukraine.

I mentioned Fox News bacause what you posted earlier is exactly what Fox News published as stated to them by one US source from defense.gov.

Both sides have suffered losses in personnel and equipment. But the fact is that, the momentum is in Russia's hand, except you're one of those zombies who believed that Ukraine is doing signs and wonder. , which I think you're not. Stay well.

Victoria Nuland and the US State Department recently admitted to Senator Rubio that the US was operating Bio Labs in 30 countries, including Ukraine. The Russians were right all along that the US was funding a secret biological weapon lab in Ukraine. This country is run by satanists.
