Masterviolence: Did you just talked about a u.s journalist under arrest in Russia for espionage? This is exactly what the media wants you to believe. Now listen. let me take you back a bit. Over the course of Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, six media workers were arrested and now face the potential of up to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. Among them was a Russian Alex Rubinstein of RT America. He was arrested along with other u.s citizens for documenting the Washington riot. But because of justice they were not convicted. There's one popular journalist that I'm forgetting his name, still in u.s prison as we speak.
In a time of hostility between the u.s and Russia, why will a u.s citizen go deep inside Russia to report if not that he has other plans. Mind you, he was not immediately arrested and convicted, he passed through the normal process of the judiciary system. And the funny part is that, he's not the only u.s journalist in Russia, but there's a reason he was picked out by the FSB for espionage.
Your second question really show your level of intelligence, why will Russia invade Moldova.
Moldova is home to tons of Russia's ammunitions in the area called Transnistria. Any undiplomatic way to taking control of transnistria by the Moldovans will simply lead to military approach from the Russians, is as simple as that. I don't know why you see things the way you do. If you're more worried about a military map Lukashenko show on TV but you see nothing wrong with the map showing how they'll divide Russia on America television, that my friend is called hypocrisy at it's peak. May be he should and readup how many iournalists and holistic doctors have died mysteriously in the US and co. Anyone investigating the Clintons ends up dying mysteriously. |

Masterviolence: People like IjeBos regurgitates what the msm publishes without any form of ruminative processes.
About censorship of informations, anyone here that lives in the west, (especially: u.s, Canada, Australia, UK) can testify they can't use all Russia's Media networks including on the web and on TV because of censorship. The government branded all Russia's news outlet as propaganda, and this is exactly what Russia is doing to u.s media in Russia. a tit-for-tat move. We can testify of how the u.s has used the msm to destroy nations either through war or coup d'etat.
The second claim where he talked about restoring the Soviet union is uproarious.  Why do Putin need the Soviet union back.
Putin is a man who wants what's better for his country Russia.
Past u.s presidents never talked this bad about Putin while they were in power except for Biden.
Bill Clinton's remark on Putin "Yeltsin had picked a successor who had the skills and capacity... to manage Russia's turbulent political and economic life better than (the ailing) Yeltsin now could."
George W. Bush on Putin looked him in the eye to "get a sense of his soul." "He's a man deeply committed to his country,"
Barack Obama on Putin "I don't have a bad personal relationship with Putin,"
"When we have conversations they're candid, they're blunt... and constructive. I know the press likes to focus on body language and he's got that kind of slouch, looking like the bored kid in the back of the classroom..."
Donald trump on Putin "I like Putin, he likes me," Trump insisted, telling the journalist Bob Woodward the "tougher and meaner" strongmen leaders were, "the better I get along with them."
Now tell me IjeBos: Are you more informed than these men? Where are your evidence that Putin wants the Soviet union back? His evidence is from MSM. If that guy knew the countries that formally made up the Soviet Union, he wouldn't have written what he said. Is truly uproarious.  |

IjeBos: Didn't you prove my point. Your argument is that everyone is lying except the head of the country who censures the media and lies to it's own citizens. If you understood Russian history or who Putin was you'd understand that he is attempting to reconstruct the USSR. There is even a video of Putin puppet Lukashenko showing off a map where they are not only attacking the whole of Ukraine but they have plans to attack Moldova next. I guess they also want to "denatzify " Moldova as well. Here is a link with the pictures of the map. You can google and find the actual video as you'd probably say the pics are made up. https://nypost.com/2022/03/01/belarus-dictator-alexander-lukashenko-appeared-to-show-russian-plans-to-invade-moldova-through-ukraine/
General life rule. People won't treat you better than how they treat the people they care about the most. If Putin censures the truth from his own Russian citizens why do you think he's telling you the truth? And honestly, I blame you being ignorant more than the Russian citizens. They have little choices. You have access to information they don't. The fact that you even believe that Putin wants to reconstruct the USSR just shows the level of how propagandized you have become. Sorry, I'm not ready for that route.  Maybe Masterviolence can take you up on that. Really hilarious.  |

Tiopii: At this point, it is obvious you're just making stuffs in your head,
What's your evidence, the Russian economy isn't choking, I already shared proof, a video interview actually. share yours even if it's Russian affiliated news or sites. show some evidence.
Russia's state Duma just voted to enter War economy bros, and this only happens when the country is struggling to financially meet the cost of war. The West has communicated that its sanctions aim to weaken Russia’s economic, financial, and military capacities in the medium to long term. Russia has problems with it's economy and ability to re produce weapons. This would be the strongest Russia would be for a long time. And as the War in Ukraine continues they would get weaker. Brother, people have life away from Nairaland. You don't expect me to go about scrubbing the internet to present you with basic facts that are easily verifiable. I have told you here that you have so many things to learn and learn you must by fire by force of self research.  How do you mean Russian economy is choking? Are you so fascinated by the word choking or that you simply do not understand what it meant? A country building infrastructures in the middle of a war is choking economically? A country cancelling debts owed it by other countries in poorer nations is choking Economically? I expected you to use your common sense but this is where you have failed so much. Yes, there were drop in national earnings since the beginning of 2023 compared to 2021 and 2022, but that doesn't mean the country is choking economically. Many nations all over the world have experienced downturns in income, including countries in Europe due to the global economic crisis majorly imposed by the Covid-19 aftermath. But that doesn't mean they're choking economically. The world bank forecasted that the Russian economy would grow by 1.6, and in April, it revised that forecast to 1.2 due to new economic realities, which is an ongoing trend with so many intricacies. If the world bank still thinks the Russian economy will grow at such rate in 2023-2024, how do you come about the economy choking?.  You think Russia is some third-world nations that relies on importation for virtually everything they need? What of Macron that wants France to enter into a military/war economy, is France fighting a war as we speak?  These things have their perculiar advantages and intricacies. I told you you have so many things to learn, not saying I'm better than you though.  In summary, your definition of the Russian economy as choking is over the wire. Man says no place in Europe that suits the vacation preferences of ordinary Russia, you should be a clown😂😂😂😂😂. If Russians weren't coming to Europe while the visa restrictions then?? Cos you want to support Russia you lose your ability to think. You're so damn ignorant that I would have ignored you completely if not for the fact that you're one of the rare civil folks down here worthy of a debate. You're mistaken business trips for vacationing.  Like I said earlier, I hate posting links, but to help you, here is a link of Russian vacationing trips aside Russia: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1149368/leading-outbound-travel-destinations-russia/#:~:text=Number%20of%20outbound%20tourists%20from%20Russia%202022%2C%20by%20territory&text=In%202022%2C%20Turkey%20was%20the,Russians%20travelling%20with%20tourism%20purposes. Not a single country from core Europe made the list as a Russian favorite destination in 2022. Turkey remain number one favorite destination for Russian vacationing abroad, followed by countries in the MiddleEast, Africa and Latin America DUE TO THE WEATHER. Most Russians that travel to countries in Europe are either for business dealings or sporting events. The weather and season plays the key decision making factor. The rest of your post are not even worth the consideration because it would be like arguing with a kid whose mind is already made up.  But let me just leave you with one simple fact check reality; the ediot UK living on other people's sweat could not even put one communication satellite into orbit, and you think they're far better and advanced than Russia in all indices, the grandmasters of the game. I hope you learn something new again brother. Continue being civil and the God of Oghenedonado Putin shall send his Angel Shoigu to liberate you one of these golden days. Till then, peace onto you.  |

Why is your oil to.India at $1k per barrelly causing 48% drop in revenue? Ibime my homie...  Are you aware that the United States boasts both the world's biggest national debt in terms of dollar amount and its largest economy, which resolves to a debt-to GDP ratio of approximately 128.13%?  The United States' government's spending exceeds its income most years, and the US has not had a budget surplus since 2001.  In summary, the US national debt is bigger than its income/GDP.

“You can't hit a target that's flying faster, that's if you shoot it down on a head-on course. If you shoot down on a head-on course, then the interceptor missile should fly 1.5 times faster than the "Dagger," said the expert. You should stop wasting your time with this news.

IjeBos: You're spreading misinformation. Reading your post, you seem like you've swallowed Russian propaganda whole. It's odd seeing you don't live in Russia (maybe you do) and so your news sources aren't restricted. You even have the ability to hear in native Russian what the Russian troops on the battle field are saying that isn't censured. You can even watch Russian news and see the panic there even given their news is censored. So, no matter what I say or proof I give you'll call it Western propaganda. So, hopefully you'll diversity your sources of information so you won't repeat stuff like Russia didn't set out to control all of Ukraine or that Russia is just trying to "de-natzify" Ukraine (if you believe this you should probably do a lil research on the Wagner PMC and their neo-Natzi connections).
You can start with google and just type (Russia's goals in Ukraine). Here is one article: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56720589 You just wasted your time typing MSM misinformation, parroting what you're accusing someone else of. Where did Russia tells you it wants to conquer the whole of Ukraine?  Quote a direct source from one Russia official stating to that effect. The Russian ultimate goal from day one was to demilitarized and denazify Ukraine. I don't know from where you heard they want to conquer whole of Ukraine. The same BBSin in 2006 did a documentary on Nazis in Ukraine, only to do a 360 degree turn on same topic immediately the Russian invasion started on same premise. Why? Because it doesn't suit the current MSM narrative. Guy, go get better info next time. Same British media that said Russian soldiers are fighting with shovels in Ukraine?  |

Tiopii: Good, you admitted the War is also affecting Russia. fine by me.
Russia's economy is choking, use the link in my previous post, that's an example.
And just one bank has closed down in the US in 2023, and it has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine. Russia meanwhile is defaulting on loan repayment.
Vacation spending of Russia's citizens has reduced cos of sanctions and the restrictions cos of the war, several European nations have placed visa restrictions on Russia, so where are they even traveling to?
"The economy ministry forecast GDP growth of 2% in 2024, down from 2.6% when it last provided macroeconomic forecasts in the autumn."
"The Russian economy shrank 2.1% in 2022. Before Moscow began what it calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine, the government had expected 3% growth."
This is enough evidence the sanctions are working.
The West/UK economy are stable, cos they stopped buying cheap gas from Russia has affected them, price of Gas there is high compared to previous years but it hasn't disturbed the economy. If the economy of the West/US is as bad as you think, they wouldn't be able to provide aids for Ukraine. High gas prices, Yes, but not much in everything else.
The only leverage Russia had over the US/West was the gas, now they are getting their gas from other countries, the money that would have entered Russia's economy is been spent else where at a higher price. On the gas, they have overcomed the worst.
Ukraine is Russia's match, Russia has nothing over the west, be it economy, weapon systems, training, experience, number of soldiers. West na overstretch for Russia.
If Poland enter this war on the side of Ukraine, I'd put my money on Ukraine/Poland.
And with time, You'd realize that it is the west that's holding back not Russia Russia's economy is not choking. A choking economy cannot be rated high on the cards of the World Bank. Vacation spending has not shifted a bit. Lmao. almost all of core Europe has no destinations that fit the vacation preference of ordinary Russians, so they don't even travel much to those part prior to the war.  The only country in Europe that actually meet the vacation preference of Russians is Turkey, and Erdogan simply told the collective West, 'Go fuvk yourself, I'm not ditching this lucrative source of revenue to massage the oversize ego of American-led war of sanctions and imperialism'  . Latin America and Africa are the other vacation destinations of most Russians. None gives a dime about core Europe for vacation.  Ukraine is Russia's match only in your dream.  I don't even know what to say on this one.  Russia has nothing over the West? There is no need to argue this with you.  Poland on the side of Ukraine would mean defeat for Russia?  The whole of NATO has been on the side of Ukraine both overtly and covertly, yet Ukraine has been beaten black and blue repeatedly. And you think Poland would make a difference?  I'm done laughing this night. Good night.  |

Tiopii: If Russia's forces were as good as you claim, they would already have captured Ukraine since last year. If the conscripts weren't badly trained there would be no need for Wagner pmc to become the main assault force. If your army is as good you don't need PMC to assist them. The reason Wagner Pmc is certain part in Africa is cos those African nations army can't handle the allegedly terrorism. You're damn hilarious and highly ignorant.  Russia never set out to capture the whole of Ukraine. Your major undoing is repeating what you saw or heard from the headlines of MSM platforms without applying common sense and logical reasoning. Ukraine is the second largest country after Russia in Europe; you don't capture a country that size with 109k troops. The Russian mission was very clear; to denazify and demilitarised Ukraine as such that it would no longer have the ability to produce large-scale offensive weaponry and wage widescale frontier war. And that mission has been achieved.  As of today, there is no single Ukrainian military-industrial complex standing churning out weapons. The only thing keeping current Ukraine floating is NATO. Wagner PMC is NOT the main assault force, but part of the main assault force. And the musicians have been fighting in the war even before the Russian partial mobilization started. They have been on the LPR and DPR sides since 2014, fighting in their ranks. Get your facts right. You have much to learn, brother. Same Russia that even sent their forces to be trained in Belarus, when normally it is Belarus that goes to Russia for military training. Same Russia that's buying drones from Iran is the Russia you want to hype their Military😂😂😂😂😂😂. Lmao.  This got me cracking out loud.  Russia and Belarusian troops conduct drills together, not Belarusian troops training Russian troops.  You're suffocating under the influence of British media prison of misinformation.  Get out while you can. So Russia has left it's goals of denazifying the entire Ukraine to just focusing on the Eastern part😂😂😂😂😂. Truly change of plans Denazification was thoroughly achieved. Ask the liquidated 15 thousand battalions of AZOV fighters in liberated Mariupol.  Only a handful of them are left now, and some of them are already serving prison sentences in Russia. The Russian ethnic people in the Dombass region have been freed from their 8 years of Nazi terrorism perpetrated against them. That is mission accomplished.  At the beginning of the War, Russia overwhelmed Ukraine and bombed the hell out of them, and were fast about it, Russia only stopped the Blitzkrieg cos they couldn't do it anymore since it was effective.
How long does it take to train the conscripts? Russia NEVER initiated a blitzkrieg as defined by the Western standard of 'shock and awe'. The West told you that and you just swallowed it as usual. If you want to know the meaning of true Blitzkrieg, go and research what US and Britain did in Iraq, and what Russia did in Aleppo. You will start thanking God for Ukraine. Now, ask yourself; when did Russia start bombing Ukrainian civilian infrastructure? Only when General Ammaggedon took over. That tells you the Russian style of fighting was very different from how the West used to conduct their own wars. Hence, we saw Ukrainian electricity, internet, and water connections completely untouched during the first period of the Russian attack. Their major targets were strictly military industries and military infrastructures. Had Russia started with what they later did with Surovikin to what they are doing now, no one would be talking about the war anymore as of today. The mission was never to destroy or capture the whole of Ukraine but to denazify it and destroy its military capability, which has been very successful so far.  |

WrriterNig: ⚡️🇷🇺 Ex-Russian Space Boss Finds 'No Proof' Americans Landed On Moon In 1969.
Russia's former head of the Roscosmos space agency, Dmitry Rogozin, said he went on a quest about a decade ago to find concrete proof that the 🇺🇸 Americans landed on the Moon in 1969. After finding little evidence, he questioned whether the Apollo 11 Mission reached the lunar surface.
"About ten years ago, when I worked in the Government, I sent an official request to Roscosmos to provide me with documentary evidence of the 🇺🇸 Americans' stay on the moon, which at that time was still at the disposal of the federal agency," Rogozin said in a post on Telegram on Sunday.
He continued, "I was painfully embarrassed by the fact that the 🇷🇺 Soviet cosmonauts returning from multi-day expeditions could barely stand on their feet and underwent a long recovery after such flights, and the Americans crawled out of their lunar ships like cucumbers from the garden."
Even many Americans knew the so-called moon landing was pathetically fake.  |

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/16777
This is a link just to have an insight of the problems Russians in Russia are in as a result of the war. The war is affecting Home, then understand you'd why Russia lying about how the war is going. They are struggling but have invested too much.
"A renowned Russian businessman and entertainer has published an extraordinary video, bemoaning that something is going very wrong with Vladimir Putin’s “special operation” in Ukraine."
Speaking on May 6, Andrey Kovalev, co-chairman of the Moscow Council of Entrepreneurs and founder of the All-Russian Movement of Entrepreneurs, lists some of the many military failures suffered by Russia over the last year before complaining about his country’s tanking economy. The video is there
The "partial" mobilization came out Sept, by October Russia's ministry of defence claimed most of the conscripts has reported to camp. so since October, till now you believe they are still training when the mobilization was done in an emergency as a result of Ukraine's successful counter attacks. [\quote]
Who is arguing that the SMO hasn't affected Russia? Heck, its affecting the whole world as we speak. It's one of the reasons we have spiking inflation. But, if you think or believe that ordinary Russians or the Russian economy is suffocating because of this war, then I'm sorry to say that the west have sold you a Mountain Everest for bread. 
Banks are not closing in Russia. Inflation have stabilize across the country. Vacation spending capacity of ordinary Russians have not shifted one bit. Despite being the most sanctioned country in the world, the world bank has forecasted the Russian economy to grow by 2% this year? What's more? The damn Russians even have enough money to rebuild destroyed and liberated cities like Mariupol and Severeskdonetsk at such short notice despite still fighting an ongoing war with virtually the whole of NATO.
Can you boldly say the same about the collective west? .
Major banks are already closing in the US with the government rushing to bail out others to prevent them from failing. People are now withdrawing their monies from banks in the west fearing a repeat of 2008 recession disaster. Inflation has become a horse across the west, galloping away like a runaway Usain Bolt. From tissue papers to baby foods to eggs to gasoline to bread, everything has increased by 40% or more across the west. These are the price and reward of those who places sanctions on Russia. .
Brother, this is reality, not Hollywood. The west are just realizing that Russia is too big a force to gang rape. 
[quite]Here is another link how badly trained those 300K+ were trained and went sent to the war https://english.alarabiya.net/News/world/2023/01/12/Russian-soldier-jailed-for-five-years-for-refusing-to-fight-in-Ukraine-
Russia has committed the 300K+ in Ukraine already, why do you think Ukraine is going on the counter now? So according to you, the first 100K+ (You want to invade a country with over 40M population o) are still the ones fighting until now? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Here is another link of Russians conscripts complaining about inadequate training and are already fighting https://meduza.io/en/feature/2023/03/09/sent-there-to-be-meat Lmao.  I'm not surprised that you bought into the cheap western propaganda that Russia's recruited forces are badly trained. Even as backward as Nigeria is, it's military don't train forces poorly.  You disappointed me. The world has since evolved beyond such level of ridiculous claims, and for you to think that the world's second highest weapon manufacturer and exporter could train and arm its forces poorly as alleged by the Western mainstream media, you could as well have said you believed the propaganda as put forward by the British intelligence and news outlets that Russian soldiers are fighting with shovels in Ukraine.  Several soldiers refuse to fight, it's a normal thing everywhere. Heck, during the Vietnam War when the US government was conscripting people of fighting age, thousands of Americans refused to fight, including Mohammed Ali. Many even ran away from the country into Canada and beyond. So, I don't know what the noise is here.  There are no 300,000+ Russian recruits in Ukraine. Stop kidding yourself. Do you think 300k forces are 3 dozens that you can hide in a classroom? The majority of that force is infantry, and they're designed to man defensive positions, to balance and stabilize the areas liberated so far. They're not part of the current Russian prong attacking forces, which is being dominated by the DPR and LPR militias, the Wagner musical group of death, and of course, an adequate number of Russian regular forces completing the list. Most of that newly recruited forces have not even tasted battle. Some of them along with Russian regular forces are stationed in Belarus and sitting comfortably behind the frontlines. These are easily verifiable information. The LPR, DPR, and Wagner group are the ones doing most of the dirty fighting in Ukraine. The area that Russian regular troops dominate exclusively is in Sea, aviation and land standoff strikes from deep in Russian territory into targets in Ukraine. This is why the Russians have everything at their disposal to play the waiting game.  So you haven't heard about rotating forces? The majority of the 109k Russian forces that started this operation have been rotated out. And it's not the entire length of Ukraine that is being contested. The fighting is limited to the east, with few exceptional strikes in the western parts of the country that hasn't seen any land struggles. So, there was no immediate need to rush the entire 300k forces to the fronts assuming they have all been received and trained. I hope you learned something new today. Piece.  |

They want to study it because long ago, Turkey discovered that the S-400 can track and keep tabs on the US F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters, does effectively rendering them obsolete.  That was why they abandoned the overrated flying coffin I. Favour of the S-400.  Historically, the Russians are masters of missile technology. |

WriterrNig: ⚡️The 🇺🇸 United States asked 🇹🇷 Turkey for access to the S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems acquired from 🇷🇺 Russia for their study, said Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.
"The United States asked for access to the S-400 in order to study them. But for us it was unacceptable, it contradicted our independent policy. We refused," he said in an interview with the Habertürk TV channel. This is why they hate Erdogan. |

WriterrNig: ⚡️🇷🇺 Yevgeny Prigozhin says they have a new agreement with Russia Ministry Of Defence, ☠ Wagner will get all the supplies they need and more, they will have a complete tactical carte blanche on the Bakhmut front, and General Surovikin will be the new liaison between Wagner and RU MOD. The way Prigozhin and Russia played Ukraine in Bakhmuth is worse than how the CIA played the American people over 9/11.  |

WriterrNig: ⚡️🇷🇺 Prigozhin said that the operation of the ☠ Wagner group had fulfilled its task in Bakhmut.
According to him, the goal of the Bakhmut meat grinder was not to take the city, but to grind the units of the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦 Ukraine. He said that 95% of the territory of Bakhmut is now under the control of 🇷🇺 Russian forces, and the remaining 5%, according to him, "do not play any role".
He said that he doesn’t care about being in the history books as the one who took Bakhmut, he cares about serving his own people — RIA This is something most of us sane thinking folks have always known. The Russians were never hell bent on capturing Bakhmuth, they just used it to kill as many Ukro soldiers as they could because Cocaine laden Elensky was hell bent on holding on to the city at all cost even when western military advisers told him to leave. |

Tiopii: Russia first attacked with hundred of thousands of their force, after Ukraine successful counter offensive where they reclaimed Kherson and Kharkiv, Russia did another mobilization of bout 300k, that's the official figures but there are suggestions that they are alot more. Russia is still doing covert mobilization as they are still sharing mobilization letters.
Russia is even recalling soldiers in peace keeping missions and posting them to Ukraine .
You're supposed to say Russia haven't used 99.9% of their force, 90% is too small
so all the soldiers that Russia mobilized are Ukrainians and Polish citizens na. like say you no dey think Really? The Russians first attacked with 109, 000 soldiers, not hundreds of thousands as you claimed. Kharkov was never defended by Russia. Kherson wasn't completely taken by AFU, 60% of the city is still on Russian hand, and the damn Russians don't mind giving away some ground to save their soldiers life especially where it is practically impossible to defend such grounds for the time being. Unlike Ukraine who have expended thousands of lives just to hold Bakhmuth. So get your facts right. Of the 300,000 soldiers Russia mobalized, not a single one of them have been pushed to the main fronts. More than half of that are still undergoing training. Draft letters are still ongoing because the official figures have not even been reached yet. Don't kid yourself. If 30% of Russian real forces are in Ukraine, this war would have been over. What Russia is doing over in Ukraine is like a police job. Initially, the foolish west think they have Russia cornered in Ukraine, unfortunately for them, they've turned out to be the ones who are cornered. Out of shame, they can't get out nor admit the Russians have won. On the other hand, the Russians have all it takes to play the waiting game. In the end, Ukraine will end up being destroyed or partitioned to pieces. None of my business though.  |

Watcharena: The story need not to be disputed everyone has already taken the side of the story he want to believe , how can an explosive missile be intercepted by an explosive air defense system and remain intact without explosion from either the interceptor or the missile itself, that looks like it was destroyed by an arrow just so many lies in war we just don't know the real battle situation in Ukraine both side lie a lot Probably an arrow fired by prince Arthur and magically guided by Merlin to take down Me. Khinzal.  I'm loving this new Ukro Version of Merlin.  |

Kingsnairaland: Lol they are still been feed Hollywood lies. From the Ghost of Kiev to a Ukrainian old civilian shooting down a Russian attack helicopter with a double barrel shotgun, to Russian soldiers using shovels to fight to Khinzal being shot down from the sky with Patriot without exploding.
