Bro before you come at me did you get the full gist??
Ch3ck the picture below to get the genesis.
I never said Orban was installed.
Seems most of you just jump on discussions in order to insults.
And saying am unapologetic. Yes I am!!!
And shameless because I don't agree with what y'all post here.?
Is that meant 5o be an emotional blackmail, gaslighting or whatever??
And how many time have I lied on this thread?
You assumed I also do because falsehoods is all you guys and Your master Writternig or 2hatever propagate here.
Somebody said Melie was Installed because he's pro west and I likened the likes orban too to that effect. If the person is going by that logic
Miss me with the B.S
Oh, now you're talking but also proving to be true my earlier summation of your type of person.


Okay. Someone in another different conversation alleged that Melie was Installed, which you and I knew is not true. Should you then descend to the same level of quack and baseless reasoning as that person by saying the likes of Orban was installed just to get back at that person? Isn't that childish and immature? You should have your own bases of reasoning devoid of emotions and not subject to or conditioned by the reasoning of others, especially where they're quack and false ab initio. That's what makes you an independent thinker. Because someone told a lie doesn't mean you must also tell a lie just to buttress a point. What is wrong is wrong and two wrongs can never make a right. This is why I faulted your level of reasoning. Sorry if you feel offended.

About the owner of this thread you mentioned , yes he and many of us here are pro Russia as far as this Ukrainian issue is concerned, vis-a-vis NATO and its military posturing and expansionism to Russia's doorsteps coupled with US warmongering activities and gunboat diplomacy across the globe. However, that guy has on many occasions posted negative news about Russia here on the thread too. That is how you know people who are realistic and not given to emotions and lobsided narrative. Many of us here have critic Russia also where it appeared necessary. Just because I am pro-Russis isn't a yardstick for me to knowingly tell lies or propagate falsehood. East or West does not put food on my table and so do not define my sense of reasoning and geopolitical allegiance. That's what makes me independent in reasoning.

Go back and read the conversations. He didn't mean that Russia install Hungarian president, it was a sarcastic tone. Go back and read it again carefully
Brother, the man made a bold claim that was completely devoid of sarcasm, and he went on to defend his claim. By saying nothing meaningful. How is that sarcasm? I'm wondering. sad.

This is the same guy that claimed Russian missiles firing decoys while in flight isn't a new technology, which is false. But when he was proven to be dead wrong, he went on defending himself with baseless arguments and rants.

In life, no one is an island of knowledge, especially in the open cyberspace where we learn everyday. Unfortunately, people like him are not willing to learn by admitting where they are wrong and correcting their mistakes. To me, that is the zenith of self delusion and deception.

can you explain why you believe the winner will be russia ?
With 20% of Ukrainian most fertile land and most prosperous regions gone (in Russia's hand,) and more territories are being captured (like Marinka recently) by Russia, which outproduce Ukraine in artillery shells, drones, and has developed and deployed successful countermeasures against the best of Ukrainian NATO donated weaponry, coupled with Ukrainian shortage of manpower and a faltering supply chain from its western backers, Russia is clearly in the driving seat to overwhelming victory. cool 2024 would be the year that break or mar Ukraine as a state that would either decide to throw in the towel and save its existence or continue on being used as a foolish American proxy being to engage Russia in a war it can neither win in this world nor in the next to come. cool

At what point did you guys go from “Ukraine is winning” to “There are no winners”?

When did Ukraine stop winning? Cos you guys have been claiming that Ukraine was winning from the onset, so I’m surprised that Ukraine is no longer winning.

And you talked about a peace deal. What peace deal?

- A peace deal with 20% of Ukraine’s land in Russian hands?
- A peace deal with Ukraine’s most fertile farmland, salt mines, iron mines, and chemical factories in Russian hands?
- A peace deal with Ukraine’s major seaports, metal factories, and grain storage facilities in Russian hands?

If you call this a “peace deal”, then I wonder what a Russian victory looks like to you.

You see that bold part, it's the pinnacle of intelligence. Once you are able to separate emotions from logic, you begin to see the world from a very different view. And it's usually a major determinant in whether you're successful in everything you do, or you end up being that dude that always get the short end of the stick.

If the flares didn't work, then why wasn't the missile shot down? Electronic Warfare (EW) is a normal thing in war and Russia deploys it a lot. In fact, missiles from even average militaries have serious EW capabilities by default, so you have said nothing new so far.

Let me educate your ignorance self:

- Electronic warfare is used to confuse identification, tracking, and targeting systems.
- Chaffs are used to confuse radar-guided weapons.
- Flares are used to confuse heat-seeking weapons.

The conversation is on flares. How many American missiles can fire flares? NONE.

If it was U.S that used such a new wonder weapon you won't find it hard to believe it was the first of its kind but because it came from Russia you are finding it hard to believe. What you can't take away from Russia is their genius in rocket technology no country has been able to match them in that area. I am sure if not for the war in Ukraine you would still be doubting Russia has hypersonic missile. Please do away with this mentality it is not helping you.

You lack basic comprehension. Guess the words the are too complex for your primitive brain. If not you wont type this.
I'm sorry but you're one of the most unapologetic and shameless poster on this thread. When you're caught lying, you find it hard to retract your steps and correct your folly. You should be worrying about that because it's a real problem that hinders you from learning.

You said Russia installed Orban and others. How did Russia installed Orban who was democratically elected and overwhelmingly voted for by millions of Hungarians and won 4 direct consecutive paliamentary elections? You just type nonsense and hope no one would notice?

reality huh Something most of your gang knows nothing about.

The reality is gaza is gone, even if they survive the war they will be so much suffering because even egypt and their other neighbour knows they are trouble.

About the war in ukraine their are no winners eventually their would be a peace deal.

This is the reality you should accept.

If egypt loved them so much why not invade southern gaza like turkey launch an offensive in syria ?
You're still reasoning upside down. Why should Egypt invade Gaza?

The winner by a distance in Ukraine is Russia. This is the sad reality your irks don't want to accept. cool

Be careful, giving free education to a Nigerian never ends well, he might soon start insulting you.
Notice how he orders you to do things which will take hours to do, as if you work for him.
That is why I hardly spend my time debating with many of them. They have this entitlement mindset and never ready to learn and reason for themselves. Always projecting their emotions in place of logical reasoning and common sense. When you see a Nigerian unable to separate fact from fiction by being realistic, it hurt considering that most of us that comes in here are educated.

I find it very hard to believe that despite how advanced and evolved the modern world has become, many people still can't think for themselves. Some don't even bother to try. They just allow their mind to be controlled due to their unwillingness to let go sentiments, put aside emotions and embrace reality. We call that zombification.

You Western supporters find it hard to admit that Russia has the most sophisticated and superior military technology in the world.

Well the more you keep doubting Russia, the more they keep surprising you.

By "decoy with missiles", are you talking about decoy missiles or missiles that release decoy flares? They are two different things.

Decoy missiles are common and well known. Missiles that release decoy flares are not.

The video shows a Russian missiles releasing decoy flares. This capability is something that has been suspected for a while, but until the Special Military Operation started, no one has confirmed that any weapon system has it. Talking of the AIM-9 Sidewinder, it does not release decoy flares.

Because I can't wrap my head around, why both are bombarding the thread with something not new or very spectacular if I should say like it's some next level shit.
ESPECIALLY WITH THE PICTURES ATTACHED BY WriterNiiig

The US AIM-9 Sidewinder which entered service since like 1957
Is of such technology, so the The Soviet K-13 (AA-2 "Atoll"wink which is reversed 3ngineered.
Learn to "read" and digest facts before rushing to comment. Missiles dropping decoys while in flight is different from firing decoys along with actual missiles. cool

⚡Poland says Russian missile entered airspace then went into Ukraine.

Poland's armed forces chief believes a Russian missile entered Poland for almost three minutes and then turned back into Ukrainian airspace.

General Maciej Klisz, operational commander of Polish armed forces, said the object most likely left Polish airspace after spending less than three minutes over the country's territory and went back over Ukraine.

The alert coincided with what Ukraine has called Russia's biggest day of air strikes since its war began.
Poland and those midget countries around Russia makes me laugh out loud sometimes. cool

They always talk tough and chestfront at every given opportunity, but when the real deal shows up, they scamper and scrambles like helpless flies looking extremely agitated and on edge like a harlot who stole money from a client and is on the run. grin

Just one missile and here they're behaving like kids. It would be interesting to see the F-16s being delivered to Ukraine. Considering where they would be taking off from to strike their Russian targets, the Russians would be in their legitimate right to target and destroy those takeoff points,. Which is being suggested to be in Poland or Romania.

I can't stop imagining how they all would be running like mad men once Russian unstoppable missiles starts knocking out the airports and airfields where those planes takes off from. It's then most of these emotionally charged kids here would know that Article 5 of NATO only exist on paper against third world nations. cool

⚡Russia has built a wall of electromagnetic pulses against Western missiles – Telegraph

Moscow has quietly developed a knack for destroying some of Ukraine's most valuable rockets and missiles, the newspaper writes.

The most modern missiles provided to Ukraine by Western partners do not reach their targets. The reason for Russian electronic warfare tactics.

First, Ukraine noticed that its GPS-guided 155mm Excalibur artillery shells suddenly began to veer off target. Then missiles fired from the Himars, whose accuracy Kiev once boasted was “scalpel-like,” began to miss.

In some areas they almost always missed. The same thing happened with the JDAM guided bombs supplied to the Ukrainian Air Force by the US," the publication states.
It's confession time, especially coming from. A western russophobic source. cool But like I have always said, reality is like a fowl that always comes home to roost. cool

⚡Ukrainian Air Force Spokesman Ignat:

Ukrainian air defense forces were not able to shoot down even a single one of the 300 Russian Kh-22 missiles fired since the beginning of full-scale invasion.

With a speed of about Mach 4, a warhead mass of 500-1.000 kg and several tons of fuel on board, the Kh-22/32 missile has been a big problem for Ukraine.
You see how these guys are fooling themselves all over the place and? cool

This could have been funny if not that people are actually dying.

You couldn't shoot down a single KH-22 missile, which is supersonic, yet you claimed to have shot down Khinzal missiles, which is hypersonic and capable of reaching Mach 10 in speed. Isn't that ironic? cool
