This is sad. You are raining curse on someone because of his opinion. Dictating the future that you know nothing about.

You live in the West. There are Nigerians living in Russia and who believe Russia is the best place to live in the world. Just like the way you believe in the UK. Infact there are lots of Americans living in Russia (St Petersburg). The Russians you claim are poor travel to Turkey, China, and EU majorly for vacation. Most of them have schengen visa which allow them to move from one country to another during vacation abroad. Many of you don't realise that Russia is a developed country. She is a competitor to the West (just like China) which is the main reason why the West want to destroy it. The West are calling China a threat because of it growth.

The West (especially US, Canada and UK) opens it door to foreigners. UK & Canada lacks man power to run their economy. People don't just go to UK because they love the country. The UK govt itself gave them the opportunity. Likewise Canada. If Russia introduce such policy today, you will see how their embassy will be crowded. Russia don't run this kind of programs. Most of the Americans living in Russia don't even have Russian passport. The Russian govt rarely gives citizenship to foreigners.

Superpowers are known for protecting their interest. There is nothing Russia has done (doing) that the West has not done or will still not do.

The US imposed sanctions on Cuba because of it alliance with the Soviet. The sanctions have not been lifted till today. The US/UK/NATO has killed more than 4.5 millions of people in middle east alone.
That is why I rarely engage him...a fellow man raining abusive words on someone on a faceless forum just shows how insecure and emotionally prone he is.

I love how you talked about Russia "stealing" land from China in order to justify the US stealing land from Mexico. Using your logic, why don't you justify Russia separating the Donbass from Ukraine the same way the US separated Kosovo from Serbia?

Lastly, you never said Germany proposed an alliance with Mexico. You said. Even during 2nd World War when Hitler tried to convince them to join his alliance, they rejected.

You specified WW2 and mentioned Hitler. It was when I pointed out your lie and deliberate misinformation, that you quickly backtracked and said it was WW1. The Nazis were not in power then, Hitler was not the leader of Germany, and Germany wanted to help Mexico recover the land the US stole from it.

Tell another lie. I'm waiting.

The boldened makes no point. Where did you get the thousands of Georgian volunteers in Ukraine? You think Georgians will leave Georgia to fight for Ukraine? Why don't they stay in Georgia and fight for Georgia instead?

The so-called Georgian legion of the Ukrainian army is made up of foreigners and not just Georgians. It is small, less than a battalion size. And the commander, as I just found out, is a rebel that fought the Chechen war against Russia. He also took part in the 2013/2014 NATO-sponsored protests that overthrew a democratically elected president and installed puppets there.

During the protests, he participated in massacre of anti-NATO protesters. And in Ukraine, he murdered surrendered Russian soldiers. And ow, he's visited the US several times and has met with Congressmen. This one is fighting for his pocket and not for Georgia.

Welcome to the meat grinder cheesy

The West is still pouring Billions of dollars in the this war with no Victory in sight.

Zelensky is still undergoing international begging tour and Ukraine is still loosing territory upon territory.

The loss of Bakhmut will lead to loss of moral of the Ukraine military.

Just look at Ukraine loss in Bakhmut. I really feel sorry for them. embarassed
Honestly, there is nothing to celebrate about in Bakhmuth. Both sides lost a lot, but Ukrainian losses is just catastrophic. Zelensky was foolish to have committed so many men to that front, even when western supporters told him to let it go. It is rumoured that the losses in Bakhmuth is there reason he and Zaluhzney did not get along well before his sudden disappearance. embarassed I feel for the people that died both sides.

I asked you to mention the countries against Russia and you right off went to to mention EU/NATO countries. And when you say border, did the definition skip you? Some of the countries you mentioned don't border Russia or share a relatively small border with Russia. When you also talk of Georgia, did you read the news that Georgia recently begun allowing flights from Russia? It also opened its airspace to Russia. Georgia also refused to sanction Russia when the war in Ukraine began, so how does it hate Russia?

It is also false that Russia sent Latvians to Siberia and replaced them with Russians? How is that even possible? Won't the Latvians cause problems in Siberia?

The truth is that Latvia got Russian-speakers when Russia ceded territory to it and not the other way around. Your talk of the Crimean Tartars is also laughable, so I won't even go into that. Crimea belonged to Russia and was handed to Ukraine by an Ukrainian leader of the Soviet Union. Russia asked for it after the Soviet Union separated in 1991 and Ukraine refused to give it back.

I should also mention that it is normal for a country's GDP to increase when they join NATO/EU. It has nothing to do with development but more to do with the fact that countries keep euro and dollar as reserve currency. It is no surprise that they cannot build many of the things Russia build, have no defence industry, little vehicle manufacturing capacity, cannot build nuclear plants and ships and all. Their GDP increased because they started spending the euro.

GDP is also a wrong way to measure the wealth of a country since it doesn't account for many things. It also favors countries that spend dollar/euro, so theirs will be naturally high. Even poor EU nations have high GDP than richer non-EU nations.

Finally, the EU/NATO are the ones keeping people in poverty, especially Africa, South/Latin America and South-east Asia. So trying to accuse Russia of doing what the paymasters you asslick are doing, is weird. Russia has no history of keeping slaves or fighting wars across the world. Your slavemasters are the ones going to hell. And you can follow them if you want.
Gbam!

People are complaining of food insecurity and skipping meals, you're bringing the price of raw goods and saying they can't be food insecure because their minimum wage can buy x amounts of a particular food.

I think the increasing number of food insecure households and food bank users will disagree with you.

So, now we understand what game Prigozhin was playing. He said Wagner was short of ammo, and the flanks were crumbling. He fooled Ukrainians to continue fighting, yet he massively bombed Bakhmut and continued to advance until the complete capture of the city. Well played!
I swear. The way Prigozhin played Ukraine in Bakhmuth was worst than how the CIA played Americans over 9/11.

The greatest loser in Bakhmuth was Elensky who continue to grind his own forces to death in a bid to hold on to a city already destroyed. It was really painful to watch.

In as much I would want to keep this going I feel, you're not intelligent enough.

We started off with ' locally produced goods in respect how poor a country is '


Now to Agricultural imports of America, data shows they import more of Horticultural goods - fruits, nuts and brevages. Farmers all over the world knows not everything can grow in your country ( common sense which you lack )

America you're using to run your mouth has the highest earnings from Agricultural export amounting to 150 billion USD in 2020.

America uses more energy than many countries combined, America has Oil which is insufficient for their use. So common sense is expected to import but you lack it.

If you share 1000 naira among 5 people is 200 naira

If you share 1000 naira among 20 people it becomes 50 naira

If the first set of people with 200 naira spend 190 naira on bills every month, they are left with 10 naira

If the second set of people spend 30 naira on bills they are left with 20 naira.

At the end of the day, the second set are better off.

I hope I don break am reach ground level for you. If you no understand still, na your village people you will go beg

You have a low sense of economics

' What is produced in a country has low prices because of the poverty in the country '

Nigeria is the largest producer of Cassava. a 50kg bag of Cassava is 20k. The average labour cost of Farm labourers in Nigeria is 2k per day, a month is 60k assuming the labourer doesn't take a break. If the labourer spend all his income on garri, he will be able to afford 3 bags of 50kg which is 150kg.
if the labourer decides to buy rice, he will be able to buy 1⅔ bags of local rice ( 50kg per bag )
if he decides to buy palm oil with His wage, he will be able t buy 1 blue and 1 yellow gallon of Palm oil.
if the labourer decides to buy corn he can only afford 3 bags ( 20k per 100kg bag )
Also minimum wage in Nigeria is 30k and many governors are finding it difficult to pay. ( it becomes more critical using The minimum wage. )

Russia is the largest producer of Wheat ( one of the major players )

A metric ton ( 1000kg ) of wheat is 275 USD, a metric ton of corn is 268USD, and guess what, the average wage of Russians is 795USD per month.

Low agricultural prices in Russia shows a strong economy. when a government can provide basics necessity of its citizens ( food, shelter and security and education ) the country is said to be stable unlike the west with increasing inflation and protest over the failure of their government to either tackle inflation or social programs to benefit their citizens.
You're confusing him the more. He is doing life in Langley economic prison of zombification. cool
