Kingsnairaland:It’s actually not fake news. But it’s just BBC propaganda. The ruble did truly lose around probably a negligible 2% due to falling oil prices. This should rebound because OPEC+ just slashed production for this reason. 1 Like |

IjeBos:You know he is actually right and you ignorantly wrong! Pre-war 2022, ruble averages 75-$1. It strengthened to as much as 50-$1 in the midst of the war due to a strong monetary policy. But when a currency becomes too strong, it’s makes the economy less competitive in the international market, this led to loosening of monetary controls and thus led the ruble to settle again at an average of 78-$1. So a fall from 78 to 82 is actually just too negligible, perhaps 2%. This is the result of falling oil prices which OPEC+ just addressed. Below was the ruble pre-war, Jan 2022. Compare it to the current 82-$1. Even the BBC was very clear in saying it was a 2% slump. 3 Likes

It points to the level of unprofessional attitudes of the mods who tends pass one sided judgements. What stops the mod from looking into the comments whoever he banned quoted as a reference point?

Sevenworldpower:That is the American/western narrative. China should help stop the war because they already sense defeat in Ukraine? China is not looking for a master slave relationship. Both China and Russia are against US hegemony and it’s the US that fears this tag team happening, hence the narrative that Russia will be a junior partner in it. As for the war? Ukraine is destroyed. As for rebuilding, ask Iraqis how far theirs have gone. Russia is not yet running a war economy either because they did not order general mobilization of its men and industries, something Ukraine has totally expended. Lastly, there is nothing like technically in NATO, (does NATO/Russia council also mean Russia is technically in NATO? NATO will never boldly intervene. This proxy is the best even if the war goes on forever. It was a defeat for NATO in Ukraine, to avoid total humiliation, they want china to broker peace so that it doesn’t look like it was initiated by them. Get used to it, NATO lost. And there will never be a conventional confrontation between Russia and NATO. The next offensive by Ukraine will be its last. It has done 4 full mobilizations, expended all its legions and conscripted even disabled. After the next offensive which even the US estimates will not give it victory, we would have arrived at the last Ukrainian. Because even if you were to give them weapons, there will be no one to man them. 2 Likes |

obedience4:Today the EU is a defacto military alliance. It is the economic arm of NATO. It has and is still pulling resources together from member states to buy ammunitions for Ukraine. It has also helped lead the economic assault on Russia on behalf of NATO/US. Wars are fought and won on many fronts namely; economics, media, alliances, and real combat. The EU has led the economic front on the side of Ukraine as well as arming Ukraine. Same goes for BRICS, it has also fought on the side of Russia on the economic side. This is the reason the EU/US economic assault and isolation failed. Russia was able to diversify its economics from the EU to BRICS, mostly India and China. They funded Russia by becoming the largest buyers of their energy and taking over economic activities vacated by the west. This ensures Russia continues to fund the war and run its economics effectively. So the economic assault failed thanks to BRICS, same as the isolation war. Now NATO is the undisputed largest military alliance. CSTO is dwarfed in terms of budget, geography, logistics and will be routed in a conventional confrontation. But will there ever be a direct confrontation between even Russia and NATO? The answer is a resounding NO! The best NATO will ever dare against a country like Russia is proxy war, because there is a doctrine called MAD! A direct confrontation will be nuclear because Russia does not stand a conventional chance. Trust me, no NATO nation, not even the US will risk a nuclear exchange. NATO will not even dare India directly because it’s nuclear armed. Ask yourself why despite being a 30 member alliance, it refrained from sending troops, but was quick to do so in Yugoslavia and Libya? Was NATO attacked first via article 5 by these nations? Because they understand that Russia will be flattened, but so will be Washington, New York, London and all of Western Europe! |

If you are intent on saving your marriage, then patience will be a virtue. But if the marriage is gone and it’s about your child now, no human being irrespective of marital status, emotional feelings, can deny you access to your child. At this tender age, truth is custody belongs to the mother, but visitation and involvement in the child’s life is your inalienable rights. How the mother or your in-laws feel is inconsequential in this. When marriage fails, the next important thing are the wellbeing of the kids, and it’s not decided on the emotions of any partner. This is classic child abduction; yes you heard that right, a parent can abduct a child. She can be arrested for it. 2 Likes |

The truth about the ICC ruling on Putin; The ICC just signed its death warrant as it will now die a natural death. A lot of power countries either never ratified it or has simply withdrawn their signatures to the statues before now, the US, Russia, India, china etc. It has been deemed previously to be too west centric and has been criticized to be biased against Africans. What The Hague invasion act and this un-enforceable judgment has done to its image is that in the next 12 months, nearly all of African, latin and South America will have their legislatures recind their ratifications. The ICC just proved to the few remaining signatories outside Europe that it’s actually very toothless, since it will never be able to enforce its pronouncements against Putin. All these previously subservient countries will have no reason to continue to subscribe to a statute that shows it’s toothless against the US, Russia, China and the rest and can only bully African nations. Expect a wave a repeals within the next 12 months, leaving the ICC for its Western European sponsors alone, albeit its ultimate demise! All these happens because it decided to do Washington’s bidding, a nation not subscribed to it, it failed to learn that so far everyone that has joined the Washington band wagon has also paid one way or the other, since it’s been two edged all along. Unfortunately for the ICC, it’s own is one edged because while it has no leverage against Putin, it just showed the rest of the world, it’s actually toothless and worthless! As painful as it may sound, this is the new reality! |

And the reaper is more expensive than a SU 27 jet. How come American shits are over priced? How can a drone cost so much? So this is how they come about a bloated $800b military budget! Funny enough, most of their shits never gets tested against near peer rivals! 1) F117 Night hawk, most potent stealth jet of the late 90s; first time against Yugoslavia, an ancient s125 shot it down leading to its early retirement due to the international embarrassment. 2) F22 raptors, touted as the most potent stealth fighter of this generation, cost more than $70b a piece, never ever saw combat apart from a stand alone delivery in a defeated Syria. Finally going into retirement, can be best described as a failed program!! 3)F35 lightening, the less expensive replacement jet for the F22 as the main stay air dominance jet. Program currently exceeds $1tr! Has never seen real combat against any near peer rival with integrated air defense except same defeated Syria by the Israeli airforce, and still from stand off positions in Lebanese airspace. The only true tested jets of the Americans are the f14,15,16$18. And they are not marketed as stealthy, but they meet value for money! 1 Like

How will the war end? It will end when Ukraine as a nation, as a society, as a civilization has been destroyed gradually and systematically, that it becomes absolutely unbearable for the Ukrainians to accept and the people begin to rebel against the government that pushed them into war. At this point, Ukrainian regime will be forced to negotiate in good faith and sincerity. One thing is for sure; 1)It will and must declare neutrality. 2)It will and must recognize Crimea, while the Donbass may be up for renegotiations.

obedience4:You are still confusing the issue with INF treaty. It would not hurt to research this. Ranges of 500-1000km are not ICBMs. 1)Iran does not possess an ICBM because it does not have the know how. US, Russia, France, China, NK and Isreal are the only nations with this know how. 2) Japan also does not possess an ICBM. For the records, ICBMs are not capped by treaties, you build your range according to your know how. You can only cap the numbers deployed. As for START, I will explain with another ideology. The US signed the Rome statue that created the ICC, but it was not ratified, as a result, the US is not a party to ICC. Reason it’s not bound and it’s people can’t be tried by ICC. Same with START, Soviets signed in 1991, but USSR collapsed months later without ratification. So it never existed until it came into force in 1994 when it was ratified. A treaty cannot come into force if it’s not ratified. Lastly, the Soviet Union did not withdraw from it because there was no treaty to withdraw from when it was not ratified. Rather the Soviet dissolved. If USSR did not dissolve, it would have ratified it.
