abobote: Whatever it is, I never knew the Ukrainian president can fight to this moment
I love the way you guys know the truth but keep saying another to massage your ego. If Russia was like NATO, Ukraine would have gone by now. Russia is not in a war. Everyone know this, even USA senator, intelligence. At the beginning Russia was being lenient and avoiding civilians which the Neo Nazis and Ukrainian army are using as shield.
Now the language is getting clear but mother Russia is still warming up.
seedgreen: NATO IS AVOIDING WAR WITH RUSSIA FOR YOUR SAKE. NATO's decision to not close the sky over Ukraine is correct. A shooting war between Russia and NATO should be avoided as much as possible and the way the US has been evading that confrontation is simply the right thing to do.If you think it is cowardice, it is because you don't know and this post will brief you. Let me set it out in a very brief way. There are three types of wars: 1. Conventional war - which is fought according to the rules of war: Don't kill civilians and children, don't hit civilian infrastructure, don't shoot surrendering enemy soldiers and PoWs, etc. 2. Total war - which Russia seems to be fighting in Ukraine right now and which it fought against Chechnya in Grozny. In a total war, you just kill everybody you see and destroy everything on your way. 3. Nuclear war. On a normal day, Russia will fall quickly of NATO engages it in a conventional or a total war and Putin has admitted that much in a speech recently. There is no contest in that. NATO's firepower is extensive and its generals are top level. However, the mismatch will force Russia to quickly resort to 'final-solution' tactics while it can - it will launch its arsenal of nuclear weapons. Lets be quickly reminded that since the 1970s, both the West and Russia have thousands of nuclear tipped missiles already programmed to hit targets in all major cities on each other's soil. With just the press of a button, those missiles will fly out and head for their targets. But there are difficulties. Both sides have watchmen that are not sleeping. Every inch of Russian territory is under a 24/7 scan for missile launch by the West, using flare and heat detection satellites. Russia has the same system. The moment a rocket motor ignites (most missiles are powered by rocket motors. Cruise missiles use air-breathing jet engines - pretty much the same used by aeroplanes, but they could be ramjets or jets with afterburners. Cruise missiles are usually called precision guided weapons), they know in the West. These missile scouts will start to track the missile or missiles and note their number, velocity and heading. They have about 10 minutes to confirm and reconfirm that missiles are being launched against the West. In this case they will mostly be ICBMs (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles). Well, despite the heavy name, they are actually simple orbital rockets that can get into orbit and then re-enter the earth at the appropriate location - above their targets. At this point, they will release their thermonuclear warheads or bombs (all modern nuclear bombs carry thermonuclear warheads, that is, warheads that uses a small hydrogen bomb to initiate a chain reaction in its main fission bomb of Plutonium or Uranium). These warheads are shaped like cones and they are about 1.2m in height with a base diameter of about 800mm. The real active ingredient, Uranium or Plutonium inside the conical device is not bigger than a football but they are packed with the horrendous power of creation itself, the power of the nucleus of an atom called the Strong Force. Two things will then happen in line with strictly established procedures it call it Battle Order. Once a missile attack is detected, the US will immediately move it's president, his family, Pentagon chiefs and a few citizens into a bunker that is about 2 kilometers below the ground and under a mountain. It is suspended upon springs so it can withstand tectonic forces from a nuclear blast on the surface. The bunker contains provisions for two years to sustain the occupants. (I have seen the image somewhere about 25 years ago in maybe Times Magazine). Reporters taken there were blindfolded and flown for hours so they will not have a clear sense of direction. The location is totally secret but it is suspected that it is Nevada. It was not dug out directly but a lateral tunnel was created several miles away to this subterranean site. 1. The West will launch countermeasures at these warheads. (Usually, they will be 13 to 17 on each ICBM and at this stage, they are in their terminal altitude in space). This is the threat level the American THAAD anti-missile system is designed to contain. It will fly into space and try to steer kill vehicles into those warheads and of course, the success rate will understandably only be partial. Some will end up successfully re-entering the earth and dive (under zero power) for their targets. At this point, the Patriot system will come into action and try to swat the warheads. The Patriot complex deals with missiles within the atmosphere. 2. Simultaneously NATO will give orders for its own missile launches and within minutes, you will see missiles rise from silos and from submarines heading East to attack preset targets. B-52s ('Stratofortress'), B1, ('Spirit') and B2 ('Bones') -all long range bombers will take off from the US, Germany and probably Japan armed with hydrogen and Plutonium bombs and head for Russia. There are also about 1,500 nuclear weapons on each side that are currently in the field, mingled with conventional weapons but known to commanders. Those are probably the most dangerous of all these arsenal of nuclear weapons because they are already and permanently dispersed in the field. All - everything will be launched within just about 30 minutes in this make or break final combat. Everything described above from the moment one side launches its nuclear weapons will not take more than 45 to 60 minutes and it is all over. If the attack takes place at night, right here in Nigeria, if you look northwest towards Europe or east northwest towards the United States, or northeast towards Russia, you will actually see a dull glow in your night sky though you won't hear the thunder of the explosions. The next three days or even a week will be normal although wind patterns may have become suspect. Thereafter, you will observe that the sky is getting darker and midday seems like dusk. That is the cloud of a global thermonuclear warfare. The sun will be screened out for months and plants will die off. This will lead to global famine, first step. Of course, global trade is already gone and the world has reverted to primitive levels. The Internet is no more and telephone services have become epileptic. Next will come the global outbreak of all forms of cancers from radiation carried around the world by the cloud earlier described. Death will become so much more desirable than life that those alive will curse their lot. There will be survivors of course: those who have been hidden away in military grade silos and have ample supplies to carry them for about two years. Those who just manage to go through about three years of life as foragers and scavengers and somehow have not been killed by skin cancer, blood cancer and other forms of metastasis. They are the ones that will populate the new world and begin to try to establish a new civilization. Now you have an idea why NATO keeps avoiding fighting with Russia. It is simply to keep YOU alive.
Don't be mad, everybody is not as ignorant as you.
They have always been afraid of Russian. I thought they attack Iraq because of weapon of mass destruction. Why don't they try it with Russia?? The best they can do is sanction, which is affecting them too badly.
Let them invade Russia, I want to check something. NATO can only invade small and powerless countries, Russia is an headache to them.
Meanwhile, Ukraine have killed 100,000 Russia soldiers, 40000 trucks, 20000 ammunitions. I love the way Ukraine is winning this war.
nobaga: Russia fell into a big trap. United States wants to retaliate after Russia opposition in Syria and Afghanistan.
After the Russian War in Ukraine, United States that have produced some war criminals, now claims the moral ground.
Nevertheless, the hypocrisy of these super powers have been exposed. They sacrifice human lives playing chess.
No conscience, even for their own people and you expect them to treat others as humans.
One good lesson here is for those laundering their countries resources. It only takes the whim of a Western leader to turn your money into Zimbabwe dollars.
I love the kind of method most of you guys are using to console yourself.
It keep shocking you how Russia is dealing with Ukraine and NATO soldiers disguise as foreign mercenaries. I can feel your pain and notice every means to make it seems otherwise.
With those bombardment, it's almost impossible not to find consoling words like yours
HolinessForever: At least 40 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in a bomb blast near a Russian military base in the southern city of Mykolaiv, according to local media reports. According to Mayor Oleksandr Sankovich, several villages near Mykolaiv have been occupied by the Russian army.
I don't believe this, Ukraine is winning this war. We have killed 10000 Russia soldiers, destroyed thousands of ammunition. No no noooooo we're winning..!!!!!
Jakumo: Somebody from Putin's innermost circle MUST prioritize the fragile spinning blue planet upon which all human beings reside, over and above the miserable, pointless, and deluded life of Vladimir Putin, so as to terminate that clinically insane demagogue with extreme prejudice before he orders the launch of nuclear missiles that will signify the demise and death knell of the human races' only viable abode - Earth.
There is absolutely no doubt that Vladimir Putin has completely lost what vestiges of sanity he previously possessed, just as did mass-murdering Nazi tyrant Adolf Hitler leading up to the glorious moment when he ingested poison alongside his mistress Eva Braun after his belated realization that Allied forces were closing in on his last besieged stronghold deep in a Berlin bunker. By the time Hitler committed suicide, 6 million European Jews had been processed into ashes within the nightmarish death camps established by the Third Reich, while millions more combatants and civilians had been decimated during that horrific Second World War's ferocious clashes all over Europe and Russia.
Now, 80 years later, in 2022, the world is again poised on the precipice of Armageddon, entirely due to the mad and homicidally reckless obsessions of one single lunatic, Vladimir Putin, who has become progressively more detached from reality over his 22 years as Russia's dictator. The time has come for sanity to be restored to the great nation of Russia, and the ONLY way this goal can be attained is for Vladimir Putin to be killed and buried as a matter of paramount urgency.
Dont get offended 'cos u can't comprehend simple logic bro. I agree some people are more sensible than me but certainly you dont belong in that group. I have simply done the work for you since you lack the capacity, Simply say thank you. Dont get emotional like a little girl and start raining abuses. That is a warped mentality. You are welcome.
You have bought into the Propaganda and obviously devoid of common sense and a sense of history. Your understanding only applies to the last 30 years. Go and look at the history of Russia invasion dating to the last 100 years. China, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Afghanistan, Georgia, Ukraine etc..stop making a fool of yourself. US exists to checkmate tyrants the likes of Putin, the little man in North Korea etc...With it, the world is utter chaos and not just in world protection but in terms of its utility to the World in general. The social media you are languishing on, the telephone you using, the technology u see around u everyday, the movie you curl up to watch every day...imagine if America haven't broken ground on those things, u 'll likely be in a cave somewhere. It is still the greatest country bar none. With all your rhetoric, go try and live in Russia, China or North Korea and let's see if you will come back singing the same tune.
If you and your fam are devoid of common Sense, it doesn't mean it applies to everyone. Not everyone is as foolish and ignorant as you and your clicks. Next time before you talk, know the fact that some peeps are more sensible than you and your foolishness
This dummy dont even understand what he is typing. So u want a nuclear confrontation btw USA and Russia. You want US to act like a dictator like Putin threatening Nuclear war and a potential confrontation ensues. U think USA and Russia is the one that will suffer, it will be everyone else that will bear the extreme brunt of such aggression. You think u can hide in your little hole in Nigeria with little impact. Both countries have sufficient defense mechanisms, now ask yourself what the whole of Africa have in defense mechanism against a nuclear weapon detonation. Think and use your head before typing rubbish.
Stop saying what you don't know, it shows how ignorant you are. No greater dictator and aggressors than USA presidents.
USA Carriers and their accompanying ships and aircraft have state of the art missile defences that can shoot down any type of missile. The USA does not make too much noise like Russia or China.
Defence umbrella from a destroyer ship that is always side by side with the carrier.
seanwilliam: shut up , they’re avoiding nuclear engagement ..
Nuclear weapons apart , Russia is of no match to USA in any way ..
Are you sure or you're just deceiving yourself I thought weapon of mass destruction is the reason they invaded Iraq, why can't they try invading Russia. History had it that USA have always been scared of Russia.
Give them hope? Do you really think they give a Bleep about what an African is saying a thousand miles away? The moment Europe decided to unite against Russia, only one winner emerged and it can never be Russia.. This isn't just about NATO, we are talking about the whole Europe.. Just name a country outside Belarus( One of the poorest countries in Europe) that has got Russia's back since the incidence started.. Even Putin won't be that foolish to think Europe needs him more than he needs Europe.. Wake up
And how is Russia fulfilling the Budapest agreements in which Ukraine gave up its Nuclear Weapons for guaranteed Protection from
Russia
Would Russia have invaded Ukraine if Ukraine still had its Nuclear bombs ?
Ukraine is not the owner of the weapons in the first place. Ukraine broke the agreement to stay neutral first and hence need to be reminded. In Putin I Stand...
Goodmarlian: I guess they are superhuman or they are using odeshi mixed with ayeta them no just dey die. No Ukrainian plane or helicopter has being shut down ,infact all Russian missiles miss their targets and go back to Russia, no Ukrainian soldier has retreated from battle infact they will soon capture Moscow before Friday because Putin has being crying over series of defeats infact Ukraine is a world power. Russia=12000 Ukraine=0
All hail the great Ukrainians, I really wish they continue winning on media.
You are a poor student of international politics.. Ukraine is a bait Russia fell for.. It can never be buried.. Know this and know peace.. Putin will settle for negotiations and he will negotiate from a weak angle after being cornered
I love your analysis, you really want to make sense but end up saying something to give your western Lord hope.
In 1994 Ukraine gave up it's Nuclear Weapons in an Agreement with. Russia UK and USA for guarantee of Protection in the Budapest agreement
Is Russia fulfilling that agreement now or with the seizing of Crimea 7 years ago
If Ukraine could do that then Russia needs to uphold it's part of the agreement and not make Ukraine regret giving up it's nuclear weapons which was the 3rd Largest in the World
And Ukrainians are so Brilliant they can build new nuclear weapons within a year if they want to
Stop saying this, Russia don't just decided to take Crimea. There are incidence that led to it. That aside, the following is a recent brief of what leads to Russia taking Crimea and declaring those two regions independent.
The west sponsor a regime change by deposing an elected president who happen to come from eastern Ukraine(Donbass region) in 2014 and install theirs.
Due to this act, the Eastern region of Donbass which are majorly Russian speaking declared a breakaway state but Ukraine declare war on them and has been killing and bombing them since 2014. They have killed more than 14000 ethnic Russian.
Russia annex Crimea majorly ethnic Russian due to this singular act.
The break away state have been asking Russia to recognize them since 2014 which Putin just did.
Before blaming Russia, know the Genesis of this matter.
Omoh this West na bad guys o. Always causing instability among peaceful states
I'm a student of history, I don't hate west neither Russia but things must be said and put the right way. What you can't accept, don't try to make me accept it.
There's so much disparity in the world which much stop.
The western world are hypocrite, nothing pain me pass destroying Libya and killing Gadaffi, using cheap propaganda to garner the attention of the whole world on the side of your selfish interest. I'm happy people are now waking up to the reality.
Pls maka why? Cos I'm open learn ooo. A country that started unprovoked war, even most of his own citizens are against it!!! Then someone like u in Naija where u hardly get electricity standing with Russia lol. Pls use that ur energy to stand with freedom fighter in Naija and Africa 1st. Smh
Unprovoked war you say Only an ignorant man can say this.
I don't have time to educate peeps like you sir, it's obvious you don't need it.
All I want you too know is that a silent Russia now simply mean a defeated Russia. All countries can accept that but not Russia.
I like the way civilians are being given guns to fight a war, I hope they won't start crying when the real bombardment start.
But wait o.... I love this Ukrainians type of winning.. We have destroy Russia and winning them on nairaland, Twitter, BBC, CNN.... I hope nobody cry blood when they start counting bodies in a truck.... Hahahaha, we have killed 7000 Russia soldiers in our dream...
In emergency, that's when a hero is destroyed and in emergencies that's when Heroes are made. One scenario must play out in this war. They have taken enough of Russian bullshit.
They took Crimea Took Donesk, Lughansk, Donbass So Ukraine should had over Kiev to Russia or just impeach their democraticly elected president because of Putin
Russia is not even in a war with Ukraine, they're simply trying to correct a brother to sanity. An angry Russia would have destroyed Ukraine and Ukrainians would be begging now. Stop saying they took Crimea, it reek of ignorance. Apart from all those places you mention being majorly ethnic Russian, they were forcefully merged with Ukraine.
