Watcharena:I simply ignore him to save my sanity. Anyone who does not know that this is a war between NATO and Russia that started way back in 2014 isn't worth debating. Just save yourself the stress. ![]() |
Alamkir:Exactly |
WriteerNig:Please, leave Ibime alone. ![]() |
Antiochus:You're very correct in your assessment, and this is what Prigozhin was saying all along...that Russia is treating Ukraine too soft. He wants a full-blown declaration of war with Ukraine where Russia will destroy the entire country like they did in Aleppo. But one thing that so many people fail to realize is this; Ukraine isn't the real enemy here, NATO is. A destroyed Ukraine will serve no strategic purpose for Russia on both economic and geopolitical scale. The enemy will simply open another front against Russia and start all over again on it's quest to 'weaken" Russia and fragment it into little statelets. So, what Russia is doing currently is the best way to derail their plan, by taking them through the long haul, to exhaust or strain their financial, military and economic capabilities in return, to the point that, cracks will appear (and they have started appearing) in their unified agenda to punish, isolate and curtail Russia as an economic and military force to reckon with. It's such unfortunate that Ukraine allowed itself to be used as a battleground between rival great powers. If it were Poroshenko that was in power, this war would never have happened because he would have negotiated his way out of it. Zelensky was the perfect man they needed and that was why he has not disappointed them. Whatever, I must agree with you that despite Ukraine not being the actual enemy, Russia must have to do or be prepared to do something 'stupid' that will leave an indelible mark to discourage and make the NATO-led Ukriane to think twice before they cross certain lines again in the future. Nevertheless,I still think the current Russia approach is the best approach so long as Russia continue to keep up with the pace while Ukraine continue to lose men upon men. Recent estimates from American intelligence sources have confirmed that Ukraine has suffered more than 500,000 casualties since the war began. More than half of that dead and the rest permanently wounded or seriously damaged as such that they are unable to fight for the foreseeable time. They can't keep this up beyond 2024. Humans are not like machines that you can factory produce. Meanwhile, some nations across the EU are already getting fed up with the whole thing, and sooner than later, they will openly push back at the thought of continuing military and financial support for Ukraine, not to mention that Zelensky cocaine laden mental disposition isn't helping matters. By insulting and raving stupidly at some of the hands that are feeding him, this war won't exceed 2024. Already, the media is gradually toning down on Ukraine, and with the US election right by the corner, Ukraine would soon lose some of the support it's getting now. In fact, recent rhetorics from some.offical statements in the US shows that they are preparing the ground to ditch Ukraine as things aren't going according to plan. Frankly, none of them western thinkers and bureaucrats expected Russia to survive and circumvent the massive sanctions placed on it, and seeing how a lot of nations started aligning with Russia based on shared interest following the crisis in Ukraine, is giving the west sleepless nights. For instance, Saudi Arabia aligning with Russia and China on the economic front to circumvent the Dollar and push the oil markets from the way the west used to run it was one typical example of the scenario the US would never have imagined because it directly undermined their influence. Now, Iran more than ever is getting closer to a nuclear bomb. North Korea to get more sophisticated rocket technology from Russia, a slap on US foreign policy towards the country, even as Russia and China now plans to lift their share of the UN imposed sanctions against Pyongyang, which is even more of a nightmare scenario because once they do, other nations would follow suit, and the so-called balance of influence the US has committed so much resource to create in the South/East Asia region vis-a-vis South Korea and Japan to curtail the rise of China would be brought back to square one with a more advanced North Korea, thus underlining the huge failure in American foreign policy. France is being kicked out of Africa, which is giving Italy something to smile about. China is now planning to build a naval port in Cuba, and Russia planning to reopen a military observation center there too. Couple with the rising prowess of BRICS. Things aren't looking good for the neocon-led west as well, and they're starting to feel it. But, for now, it's a game of who blinks first till the final push comes to a sadistic point of shoves that would leave no room for regret....Nuclear Holocaust. God help us. |
Ekemeze:Israel will always be neutral in this war because they have an understanding with Russia regarding their operations in Syria. |
Watcharena:Savagely and hilariously right ![]() |
Ibime: Countries in the EU that are snapping up Russian refined liquid products on record high are no longer major countries. Continue with the cope, brother. ![]() |
Badassniggga:You even have the time to reply him. Ukraine has been "destroying" S-400 since last year just like with the Ghost of Kiev. |
WriterNigg:Ibime will be mad. And he is coming for us. ![]() |
Alamkir:It's all part of the liberal dementia groups to replace traditional white Americans with foreign whites, and the Latinos from nearby country make that work easier for them. For some years, the white American population has been shrinking, and many people don't even know this. No thanks to the diabolic policies of extreme liberal democracy that promote LGBTQ++ relationships well above the natural cohabitation between man and woman. Each time I look at America, I just feel sorry for that country that use to be so great in all aspect. It's pathetic to behold. ![]() |

Badassniggga:He can't stomach the fact that the EU that sanctioned Russia with the hope of collapsing it economically are still propping up the economy by buying it's gas from same Russia. The EU, just as him, are acting out of pure emotions devoid of logic. Why bite a meat you don't want to chew at the first place? |
WriterNigg:This woman will get Germany into trouble one day. |

WriterNigg:Sorry Lukashenko. Poland have already lost more than 50,000 of its regular troops in this war. There is a reason the Poles are getting high regarding the happenings in Ukraine. Sadly, they cannot admit it openly. ![]() |
ulaeto:You're so right. Many folks here just respond out of pure emotions rather than logic and rational thinking. |
WriterNigg:De-dollarisation up in gradual gear. ![]() |
lanre316:Mistake? The US is a champion in creating conflicts across different theatres as a means to achieve an end. Bin Laden was never a mistake just as El Baghdadi and ISIS wasn't a mistake but missions of the CIA designed to achieve an end. You have a lot to learn brother. ![]() The military can take some decisions which don't make sense to civilians. They don't have to make sense. They only need fulfill their mission. USA have no compunction to show his body exactly the same Putin have no compunction to show Prigozin body.These are flimsy excuses. Go and read up on "A gallery of fake Bin Laden." The US claimed to have killed Bin Laden is as fake as the acclaimed moon landing and the 9/11 terrorist attack where one of the said terrorists "conveniently" left his ID on the ground to be seen by security forces. Which criminal or terrorist goes to a robbery or murder mission with his ID card on him? Just as this sound as foolish and senseless as it can be, so do the fact that the US government finds it convenient to bury at sea the man that killed 3000 people without providing a single evidence of his death to at least give families of his victim something to feel calm about simply because they're not compulted to show his dead body. Brother, give me a break. ![]() No serious researcher would take Snowden speech while residing in Russia serious. He has to speak against USA and for Russia if he doesn't want to piss off his landlord, the almighty Putin. There is no free speech in Russia where he resides.You're not making any sense here. Just because Snowden is living outside the US his words shouldn't be taken seriously? If he is that safe to speak freely within the US, why did he have to run to Russia to begin with? Stop kidding yourself. Snowden's words has nothing to do with pleasing Russia since Russia isn't the object of his crux. Just as he revealed how the US government has been massively spying on Americans, so too did he revealed the truth about Bin Laden and the US claims. How does it concern Russia and free speech in Russia? You're just cooking up childish excuses. This really is suspicious. And I feel you have a serious point here.This is good of you. ![]() I will definitely do more research on these. Though I don't understand how USA can convince their sworn enemy, Bin Laden, to cooperate with them to do a job that involves killing 3,000 Americans inside America. I may be wrong or surprised or whatever. I will definitely search for videos and articles made by reputable sources on these topics.You do need it. Open your mind and allow the facts you will come across to define your conclusions. But mind you, there are false realities and true realities. You must learn to separate the false from the truth to make a balance assessment and conclusion. Peace. ![]() |

Ibime:Fact. Europe still importing gas from Russia at the highest level despite their initial sanctions bragado. Your insults means nothing to me cause you've always been, and will always be a kid. ![]() Adieau. ![]() |
seunny4lif:That is serious. |
lanre316:Al Qaeda is a mission of the CIA. This is no longer a secret. In respect of Bin Laden acclaimed death, Think critically. Why would you kill the world's most wanted man only to "bury him" at sea without displaying his body for all to see considering you're the so-called World superpower nation that has been hunting this man for many years? Does it make sense to you? ![]() Besides, Snowden have revealed that Osama Bin Laden was alive and well as at when the US claimed they have killed him. Why shouldn't we believe Snowden over the US government illogical claims, considering his prodigy as a formal secret agent? ![]() Lastly, it gets even much suspicious and deniable when you consider that majority of the SEAL TEAM members that allegedly took out the said Bin Laden died suddenly in a Chinook helicopter crash. How convenient does that sound? That they all should be packed in one single helicopter? I can smell foul play from a mile ahead. ![]() Natural thinkers may call such incidents and links as conspiracy theory (which is nothing but a term coined by the deep state agent of psychological warfare to derail the truth movement) but logical thinkers like us refuse to call them mere coincidence but factual reality considering the chain of events that interlinked the dots of each circumstances. This is what make us independent thinkers. ![]() And if you still don't know that 9/11 was an inside job, then I must say you're just starting to understand international politics vis-a-vis the workings of the CIA and the MIC. Just do research on Sector 7 building, maybe that would clear your doubts regarding the events that happened in 9/11. ![]() Peace. |
Dvdpity:I understand your pain regarding how Putin and his military top brass chose to take this SMO methodically as against a full-scale blown war wanted by some elements in Russia. But the reality meets differently. A completely flattened Ukraine would only add more cost to Russia than a militarily defanged Ukraine would. Moreover, this isn't just about Ukraine, it's a proxy war waged by NATO against Russia from all sides--political, economical, military, and psychologically. NATO cannot sustain a prolonged war because the longer it gets for them the costlier for their economies that is not designed to withstand years of protracted wars (the USA aside) and the more agitated and protest-prone their citizens would become as the economist cost of the war increasingly brunt their earnings. This crack is already appearing across Europe. So it is better for the Russians to ride it gradually while adapting to the worst and best NATO can throw at them. Drone strikes deep into Russia and NATO terrorist activities here and there wouldn't change the reality on the ground. Yes, they hurt, but they're not significant enough to warrant a full blown war. But don't misjudge the Russian resolve to grind things gradually. If F-16s are supplied to Ukraine as being planned, and they fly and attack Russian targets from runways and airspace located in NATO territories say Romania, Estonia, and Poland, the Russians would not hesitate to strike those assets and damn the consequences. That is one thing I can bet my last Kobo on. The Russian drone that fell on Romania soil recently isn't an accident as they want you to believe. It's a warning of what to expect in the coming months, depending on how NATO chose to escalate things. I too wasn't really comfortable with the way the Russian mod approached Ukraine, But, I have learned a lot since then and I believe they're aware of what they were doing. |
WriterNigg:Nice step in the right direction. |
