Y’all make me laugh. Do you really think if Putin wanted to actually decimate Ukraine, he can’t do that in a heartbeat?
No one does anything without intentions. Putin is not a mad man. He’s mainly protecting his interests. This isn’t about invading Ukraine, it’s about defending his region and maintaining control. Western Media should shut up and mind their business. They are the cause of this anyways. No one is a saint in this so-called ‘war’.
Just learnt from an actual journalist currently in Ukraine. Y’all are being fed lies and as usual, are gobbling it ignorantly.
Question: Why is Russia invading Ukraine? Simple, Russia was part of the Soviet Union which broke off in 1991. NATO was formed in opposition to the Soviet Union as a Military Defence Alliance (Emphasis on the word ‘Defence’). While the Soviet Union ended in 1991, NATO never ended and continued to expand. It became worse when they started signing up neighboring countries to Russia. Poland, Hungary are all alliances of NATO which is IN OPPOSITION to Russia and the disbanded Soviet Union. Russia had warned Ukraine - the closet nation to them not to join NATO. Mind you, Ukraine is almost evenly split between Russia and Ukrainian indigenes. Russians live in Ukraine. The new Ukrainian Government, which is pro-west and had declared intentions to join NATO had posed a new threat to Russia and so Russia will have to stop them.
By the way, the regions in Ukraine that broke off (by the help of Russia too) in 2014 (Donbas regions of Donesk and Luhansk) were just about to be invaded by UKRAINE when Russian troops decided to invade Ukraine. The media won’t tell you that.
As for people who say Russia is losing. That’s quite very absurd. Russia isn’t decimating Ukraine, they are simply occupying Ukraine and are targeting the Ukrainian military and not civilians. Half of Ukraine has Russians. They can’t kill their own people. They are using their 2nd tier military equipment and military. Russia has one of the best and modern developed military equipment in the world, if not the best. No one dares try Putin, not even the United States and the US knows for sure! Russia modern technology is classified. You won’t want other countries to have access to your technology and that’s why Russia isn’t going in full force. Ukrainian soldiers have been surprised by how outdated some captured Russian machinery are. The regions captured by Russia military so far, they are providing amenities to the Ukrainian civilians. You really think Russia wouldn’t have cut supply to Electricity, food and water. There’s still stable internet in Ukraine as we speak. The media is lying!

There are a whole lot more about this Ukrainian government that y’all don’t know.

The talk of sanctions is another topic on its own. The US dollar will suffer from the sanctions too and I can explain why. Ask your US friends how much gas prices are now.

I’ll end here by saying, Politics is about self-interests. The US is fanning a dangerous flame. There’s a reason why Putin has been head of Russia for as long as he has been. That dude is not to be joked with.

what do u know. He cannot take Ukraine within 48hrs that was his original plan. Conduct alot of dril in their border make them quake in fear before we step into their country they will sorrunder within 24hrs. But oop he miss caculated now he is getting frustrated. Don't forget he has been isolated from the world his economy is so weak now to with stand a prolonged war, now that the west is pumping weapons into Ukraine putting is in serious trouble.

Ojiofor:


Russia have already occupied many territories and continue to gain more and very soon Kiev will fall.

for your hateful dream abi? Ekpa

Ojiofor:


Russia is going to bomb them into submission maybe they want their country totally destroyed Putin is willing to help them unfortunately.

fool with little sense

Balkan:
you guys are kids. Keep listening to western fake media like CNN

why u are listening to northern real news.

Areola14:
Many people listen to news but they know not what's going on..... Russia can truly take over Ukraine within 48 hours as putin said... but Russia is using tactics on them.... Russia way of fighting wars is different from America. ... Russia don't want to destroy Ukraine because putin knows that if he do that, Ukraine will become liability to them and so, they want to capture Ukraine government and install their own ally... unlike the America... they will capture and destroy and still install their person there.... Ukraine is too small for Russia to handle... Russia is not the only one going to fight...China is also talking about reclaiming Taiwan back now... watch out!

dey give yourself false hope, minister of Russia information and strategy

VEHINTOLAR:
The time to surrender to your big brother Putin is now ! NATO plus United States can't save you from Russia. Naturally,the entire Baltic region is under the sphere of influence of Russia and it will be difficult for any nation or a group of nations,no matter how powerful they claim to be,to upset that.

Those who are saying Russia can't attack Poland,Estonia etc because they're NATO members are only fooling themselves. Russia will attack all of them together simultaneously if NATO dares to arm any one of or all of them with nuclear weapons ! Russia is a country with enormous military capabilities and as such cannot be pushed around by any nation.

This war has only exposed the naivety and inexperience of Mr Zelensky in the world of political diplomacy. It is hoped that he has learnt his lessons going forward.

see this fool as if them don attack Ukraine finish, no be only nuclear this nuclear that them take dey brag since. Imagine sey Ukraine get up to 10 fighting jet u go no sey Russia no be any thing. U don hear sey Ukraine trow one bomb inside Russia since the fight start? Take out their fighter jets in the sky and see Ukraine destroy Russia infantry in few days kivy resistance will give you a clue of what I mean. Ukraine believe they can handle putting if they declear a no fly zone, that alone is an insult to your almighty lazy pussy who's only hope is I will use nuclear bomb. Lazy Russians that don't know how to fight. Ordinary logistics they can not provide for their troops is that a supper power? This war go shork u no worry. The west the play bet with Russia head. Let see how long their weak economy can carry them and the finianceing of the war. After the war na only nuclear bomb pussy go get. Don't play with the west and it allies

Winters23:


Very soon usd will nolonger be used to value global assets...

na naira we go dey use na abi? Go change am na

Topmaike007:
Russia is miles ahead of USA in reasoning if Russia was hell Bent on installing militay base/missile in Cuba in 1962 do you think USA won't invade Cuba,but look at the same USA today insisting that Ukraine is a sovereign nation and must join NATO,was Cuba not a sovereign nation when Russia pulled away from there?

Make una dey reason am well oo, Putin is fighting for the lives and properties of generations to come

if I tell u sey ant don lick your sense finish u go say I liar. Stop posting nonsense comment here, stop exposing your foolishness on this forum. Instead of you to dey pray for peace and for the war to end na to come nairaland dey talk nonsense and they give putting your fellow idiot hope to continue talking life neither u nor him can give. If u get any beef with US and the west go there go find them no the use nairaland dey encourage putting to continue with his killing and threatening the whole world with nuke off which u slowpoke will also be a victim of his threat. Keep it up papa over too know and over Sabi. Ekpa

mooremoney:
Imagine the nonsense, instead USA to stand their ground as world power and take on Russia, someone is calling for Putin assassination

and u think because putting talk too much he can defeat the US? It is because of u and I and other innocent people that US and the world is trying not to engage putting, if crowd cook for u you no go fit eat am finish. Na weytin putting go experience

beautyhd:
Too harsh

I hope the US senator knows the full implications of his utterances, Putin is not gonna sit still and watch his assassination.

It's gonna be a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.

Impending full scale war loading.

This is to say that the west and EU underrated Putin, they didn't believe he will make good his threats and they feel insulted.

If the US has not acted like Putin in the past, they should take him out but if they have, they should bury their heads in shame. A case of pot calling kettle black.

They've done worse than Putin.

after the heroshema Nagasaki incedence in Japan, during WWII, America saw the diverstative effect of a nuclear bomb and vow not use it again. They have never threaten anyone with a nuclear bomb let alone the whole world putting never no weytin e go put him hand.

Franky70:
Lol
Them de fear Putin nukes



I Sha know say the world go hate Russia after this whole thing

they are being smart and concern about humanity not that they are scared

naija4life247:
This guy can do anything. The boss is prepared for the worst.

Putin is ready for heaven to fall. He is an ex KGB, not a comedian like Ukraine clown and soon to be former president. He has planned this over the years. He is prepared to take the world including China if China decides to die with the enemies in the West including US, whole of Europe, Canada, Australia. Putin is ready to end the world, after all everything that has a beginning must surely has an end.

If Europe and US continue their nonsense, we will all wake up one day in Hell Fire because Putin will nuke all of us.

putting is just making noise to draw attention to himself,he talks too much he should just act once and see what will before him and Russia

TrueNigerian300:


You are guys are all cheering them while they are dying why can't they(EU) join and defend Ukraine?? No amount of weapons sent there will help Ukraine it is a suicide mission Russian is ready for anything you can see that from their body language. Russia would rather nuke everywhere than to loose. They have not even started with them yet the foolish president is crying everywhere. This is not bravery but stupidity, this is not a Ukrainian issue but Russia vs Nato(USA) but the foolish president has decided to use is country as battle field for something he would have stayed neutral. None of the want to even sacrifice oil price for Ukraine including Germany and you think they care about Ukraine. Okay o!

is it your sucide, should they fold their hands and watch their country been taken away from them

Walkee:
Ukraine government will be replaced whether you like it or not. Humans who lost their lives cannot be rebuilt.
People who lost their shops will not get it back
People who lost their cars will not get them back. Even if you are compensated, nobody is going to pay you for your TV that was destroyed

and u think Russia can single handedly do that? They will need external help with the way there are going. At worst u can change it with your hands

tonididdy:


You cannot be smarter than a war general controlling a battalion of troops.
The war will be rounded up in a few days with this "advancement", in war when you conquer an area, you leave some troops behind and " advance " to a new location to conquer.

The troops you see in the satellite image is a combination of successful troopers and backup troopers. They are not entering from Moscow, they are entering from areas they have already conquered and heading towards the capital. (*the map below explains better, it's a map of the whole of Ukraine, Russia is holding the east, south and northern borders already, as in conquered and moved on.

(The western media will not explain this to you, they will tell you Ukraine forces are roasting Russian forces in the capital but they fail to tell you Ukraine is screwed already because they are surrounded.

Putin is a brilliant mind, for another mad man (Trump) to accolade a fellow mad man (Putin) . My guy...

So Putin sent a few troops to exhaust the resistance at Kyiv, that is 100% successful, now he's sending in the mother load to finish the job.

it seems u don't have shame, Russia with all it arsenal fighter jets, submarine from the sea cluster bomb self propel missile truck 200,000 service men of over 50% of them are already in Ukraine can still not take down Ukrainian army of mostly volunteers for the past 6days now. Men Russia military have proofen to us they are not up to world super power standard they are weak and not good in conventional warfare. See are they are being roasted like ram by the volunteer Ukrainian army. They are no match to Israeli army let alone America and it Alie forces. In America 20yrs war in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya how many times do u see America losing it army in this unprofessional way as we are seeing in Ukraine right now. Israel attack Jordan in a seven days war and Even Egypt one Israeli soldier to 100 Egyptian soldier. Now these are real big boys with balls real army. For years Russia have not fought any measure war since the end of wwll, we are thought they are strong in fighting. The fact that one has nice clothes is not a yard stick for good dressing sense. That is what we are seeing in present day Russia. That Russia has go military technology does not mean they no how to use it to fight, even some of their service men don't know how to operate those leather weapons within them. Every dictator will always make it military so weak internally for fear of been over throne. The west have finished doing their test run within this 6day and have seen that Russia is nothing right now Ukrainian pilot are in Poland to pick their donated jet Russia will feel the heat more now. All this while Ukraine have been fighting them on the ground but now the game is gona change. I repeat with my full chest Russia is gonna rush out of Ukraine in few days from now. Ukraine is going to give them hot hot with their new jet figher.russia has a weak army

Walkee:
exactly.
Here's the thing. Ukrainian government and military don't care one bit about their civilians. They forcefully conscript males 17 and above if you refuse they'd shoot you in the head.
Europe don't give a fucck about Ukrainian civilians. They are very very happy with civilian casualties because they hope to use it to nail Russia and further crumble them economically. In the end, either Russia win or Western Europe wins but either way Ukraine loses. There's no way on earth Ukraine win even if earthquake happens and swallow all Russian troops Ukraine still lose. Their infrastructure, civilians casualties, criminals released from prison and armed to the teeth will wreak havoc throughout the country for the foreseeable future

This guy is a high ranking member of US senate. Look at what they're planning to do, turn the whole country to terrorist zone

and u think it is Ukraine money that will be use to rebuild the country? When the world is donating weapons,money, humans, jet, everything to help them. U dey here dey kill yourself

Dalil8:
DPR, LPR, Chechen and Russian forces have taken almost all eastern Ukraine towns and cities. I laugh at those of you that think Russia is losing this war.

A 40-mile long Russian military convoy is en-route to Kyiv at the moment. I doubt Kyiv would withstand another night of fighting.

why u dey like give yourself false hope. Relax no make your hatred for the west an US give you BP Russia is losing that is why they are mobilizing more tanks and trucks soon to be destroy by the Ukrainian soldier as usual again. Calm down u can not be winning a war and still be sending such amount of munations to the front line. The Ukrainian soldiers are giving them a run for their money. Before the end of this war Russia would have waste all the equipment she have in fighting just small Ukraine. Lazy over hype Russia, big for nothing. Breaze don blow Russia yansh don open.

KingEverest:

The capital is surrounded bro and Russia owns the air space too why do you think the Hungarian minister is scared you can't help Ukraine now without direct confrontation with Russia is too late

u ask question them give u answer u still they a answer the same question wey u ask

KingEverest:
I was asking the other day, were will the supplies the West is promising pass because Russia has almost encircled Ukraine and the capital

Poland,luthenian, Slovakia,monduva

useni1:
Patriot missiles has been deployed since the 90's to today. They failed woefully during the gulf against 1960 Soviet era scuds missiles fired by Iraq into Israel. They failed woefully again to protect Saudi Arabia when cow rearers in Yemen fired 1970 scuds missiles and drones at their biggest oil installation. America anti missiles deployed to defend the Homeland has been tested thrice and it failed woefully twice. The third test was said to be a minimal success (propaganda). Young man do you even know who you are talking with here? Because I curse too much? I am the most intelligent man in the world. I am giving you a homework tonight go and update yourself about American anti missiles defense system. Russia defense system is a trillion times more advanced than America and they have been proven

u sound like a Swift fool. Just listened to yourself. Ekpa

Bigchristo:
some of this folks here think US is more likely to own biggest nuclear power forgotten that Russia has advanced more than the US, i Pity some olodo even the US is scared of going to war with Russia, they’re hiding under NATO trying to invade and destabilize Russia that’s the motives behind luring Ukraine to join NATO so they can secretly build nuclear base near Russia but I can swear with my balls Russia won’t allow that

this one dey sleep for inside ignorance and foolishness

saintrow1:


I don't think you know Russia. You think that country is a useless country like Nigeria. Russia have over 650 billion in foreign reserves, Gold etc they don't give a dam about anyone. All they are more concern is that nato doesn't get to close to them. They care about their security more than anything. If you don't have security then you don't have freedom. Mind you Russian is a super power so therefore they will never lay down to any other power.

u dey talk like person wey them shit for him brain. No one can live/survive in isolation and still remain strong and normal. Get sense u no want get Russia go feel the heat well well. U never know what is awaiting Russia that is why u can open your mouth and spew nonesense

Ismaila14Nuhu:
But when Israel was attacking Palestine, they didn't say anything reasonable.
This world na WOW

Ukraine and Palestine case are not the same. Ukraine never shot a stone into Russia unlike Palestine hesbola shooting rocket into Israel. Definitely u must be attack

Rollsnjaguar:

United States — 5,550
China — 350 available (actively expanding nuclear arsenal)
France — 290 available
United Kingdom — 225 available
Pakistan — 165 available
India — 156 available
Israel — 90 available
North Korea — 40-50 available (estimated)

and u believe it? the west knows how to make someone dangerous they can make their own 10 and yours 8,000 this is a matter of internal security it is not to be made public even putting knows us is far advance than Russia their military budget no be mate that says it all about who has more nuke and and war head carrier. History have thought putting that if not for this same us Germany would have wiped out Russia out of Europe during WWII. Russia started from scratch again why America has been advancing since then. They cannot come and have more nuke than America who save them not even one bullet was shot in us soil but Russia and it Soviet Union was level to rubbish.america pumb in money to them to help them grow again

engrchykae:
why is it that people are not seeing that USA is the real troublemaker?
Obsessed with setting up military bases around perceived enemies.
Must USA have a military base in Ukraine?

they are the current world Power, along with Britain they are called Anglo America world power. The world has ever been like that from one world power to another.

saintadeola:
When it started u,all of u will say west should have take dialogue u think putin is afraid of death,he is ready to loose all,he is a mad man not like trump that rump mouth without action,many only read what nuclear is capable of,wen nuclear war start,u know they suppose to sort things now,before they destroy Moscow,most elite nation will be ruined,I pity Ukraine, most,it will be vanish,because Russia has not use any massive weapon,
Me I want peace ooo,let them sort it amicably,nuclear war is a disaster, USA might be powere house,Russia is well equipped beyond ur guess
A man that is ready to die and take everything down with him is very dangerous

my friend shot up Russia na empty barrel. No dictator has ever built a strong milliary far of being over throne. Go ask gadafy, sadam,and putting right now is proofing me right in Ukraine his army cannot face the amateur Ukrainian boys they are seriously loosing in Ukraine as we speak now. Before now no one ever think the Ukrainian boys can stand a day with ur so called over hype Russia

ILEMUDA:


What I don't really understand about USA is that.
How will you be making Nuclear Weapons and at the same time imposing sanctions on other nations not to undergo nuclear program.....eg North Korea, Iran etc.

It's unclear to me.

answer will u keep a well loaded gun in the hands of a minor who is not yet mature in reasoning and self restrent? America know that most of all this musroom country like North Korea Russia and Iran just want to have nuke to intimidate other smaller neighbors. Just as Russia is doing right now. How many times have you heard of us, Germany,franch, UK Israel Australia threatening other people of nuking them under slight provocation like Russia,north korea and China are doing all the time even Iran. They never mature reach to handle nuclear weapons

BloomingDale:


You sabi. America will be destroyed by Russia and China. NATO will finally team up with China and Russia.

see small pikin sense dey worry this one, ordinary Ukraine don give am a shork of his life wey he never think of, Russia is losing in Ukraine already Putin know say America no be him mate. That is why he is think nuclear his troops moral are down already NATO force dey give am a show of his money secretly inside kyvi. Breaze don blow fowl yansh don open Russia na big for nothing their large land mas dey help scare countries thinking they have something. Russia with America no be mate aboki

InoGetJoy:
Ukraine allowed themselves to be used as pawns in a game with the big boys. Nairaland armchair generals are here blaming Russia due to being brainwashed by Western propaganda and sentiments.
It's just like Niger Republic giving support to Boko Haram and then when Nigeria invades Niger Republic people will start making noise.

If I were president, I'll do this exact same thing Putin is doing

your compereason is far fatch

aribisala0:
US could not take over Afghanistan in 20 years . Could not take over VietNam

Take over no be beans

location of Russia and Ukraine and the location between the two countries and us u mentioned now gives Russia more egde than far away us. Russia is a weakling.

shortIGBOman:


Let them destroy their Region. They are only killing their fellow IGBO who are Police. Thank God the East never and always don't contribute ZERO to the Economy. They only receive.

If this same thing happen in Regions that contribute to the Economy. Like the North, South South and South West, FG will initiate a political solution. But since it's the East, no need for that.

Bros get small sense na, just like dey have initiated a political solution to boko haram of more than 10yrs now and banditry in the more economical North and ritual killing in the south west.

Jerryherd:



Ok

I hear you

But please mention just one state in the entire landlock SouthEast that beats Oyo State and Ogun State in terms of GDP, IGR, Percapital, low unemployment rate, ease of doing business, Educational infrastructure and numbers of schools and colleges, land marks


We beat your sad east hands down in almost all positive index known in economics, that's why you all migrate to Southwest and your women make it a life goal to marry and give birth for a Yoruba man


.

I can see pain anger jealousy bitterness low self-esteem and dejectedness all over u as u write this.
