CrimeRe: Increasing Rape, Ritual Killings Making Women ‘Endangered Species' by Daboomb: 10:42pm On Mar 13, 2022
Comradewhy:
Please if you have nothing to contribute just log out.
Is she not right,is there any single day where you won't hear of women being raped or killed in Nigeria?
It's getting too much and women are speaking out you are here rumbling around.
STFU!
Is it only women that are being killed?
What about the men that are being killed?
Is that MBA student killed by the owner of that University in osun State a Woman?
What about the many, many Men that we see beheaded on a daily basis, are they not endangered?

The problem arise when some of you Women think you can take advantage of every situation to paint a biased picture and take advantage, instead of speaking out against crime. Crimeis Crime and it affects every body, all gender.

No wonder you are all waiting for men to drop 35% of Electable offices on your Lap, instead of working for it, just as the Men are working for it.
Nonsense, entitled Species. Tueh

Well done, keep proving how dumb you are. Please I want to see how deep this goes.

How do you get a missile built to only see, track and shot down another missile to become an offensive missile that can fire at a base? Please do explain, I have time for your ignorant.

when you're done, explain why we have different categories of missiles like Air to Air missiles, Surface to air, Surface to Surface, Manpads, ballistic etc. Since they have dual purpose abi, why bother sorting them into categories. Ode

FamilyRe: Domestic Violence Is An Accepted Nigerian Epidemic by Daboomb: 10:30pm On Mar 13, 2022
Interesting piece.
The Poster pretends to blame Women for Domestic when infact, he/she has wrongly assumed that ONLY MEN perpetuate Domestic Violence!

This is where the Hypocrisy of women comes-in.
Domestic Violence is when One Spouse abuses the other Spouse, the Victim can be the Husband or the Wife (Male or Female).
we have seen many Women poison their husbands, we have seen those who stab Husbands to death in his sleep, we have seen those who drug their Husbands and then mutilate his manhood, before killing him, we have seen those who use Hot iron on their husband, to kill him in his sleep, the list is endless, so it is not a "Male issues", it can involve either of the Spouses.

Having set the records straight, we need to look and go beyond this "blame game", to trace the origins of the problem.
In my own opinion, Nigeria has become an even more, very violent society.
Most Nigerians are a walking, ticking time-bomb, through no-fault of theirs.

I had a discussion with some Friends on why everyone in Nigeria seems to get angry and violent, at the very little upset, things that can be overlooked and after much deliberations, we identified a few things:

The Environment:
NOISE:
Almost everywhere you go in Nigeria, you are inundated with very LOUD NOISE!
If not from somebody trying to sell 'Snake Oil' to the Public, using a Mobile Public Address System (PAS), it will be someone playing loud Music to attract attention to what they are selling!
Inside Buses, you will hear Hawkers on top of their voices, while everyone struggles to be heard over such Noises,
Churches and Mosques are not left out, they blare their sermons at unholy hours, irrespective of whether we are interested in the rubbish they are saying.
In some Streets, Mechanics are banging, Iron bender is banging, Pepper Grinding Machines are whirling-away, someone is hammering-away at something and the whole environment is choked with NOISE!
At the end of the day, Nigerians have become "very loud" because everyone is trying to overcome "environmental Noise", in order to get heard.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION;
Nigerians, especially those in the Urban areas, do not have good enough sleep.
From the repeated blaring PAS NOISE of Mosques in the early Morning, as early as 4am, to the overnight NOISE of Churches doing Night Vigil, Sunday Service, Nigerians are being deprived of a good sleep.
Deprivation of Sleep is TORTURE, according to Medical Science and the United Nations Code on the Rule of Engagement in War.
Anyone deprived of sleep over a long time will eventually get MAD and it is not an insult to say majority of Nigerians are MAD and that explains the level of Violence in our Society.

Now , when a potentially Mad Man, marries a mad Woman, to not expect Violence in such coming together, will take the Grace of God.
So, before we start blaming men, we should also acknowlege that Women are also prone to domestic violence.

With the massive number of "Mad Nigerians" entering into marriage, it becomes unrealistic to advice a Spouse to dump the other, at the slightest sign of Violence!
Chances are that the next Spouse and the one after that, will show the same "Mad" tendencies. So, will you keep changing one for the other, until you reach Menopause? huh shocked

But the violence has different levels.
What we need to do is identify and understand what triggers the "violence" in our Spouse and device clever ways to deal with it.

Some are alcohol-energised (They happen only when the man is drunk). In such situations, counselling the Spouse to avoid Alcohol, , is the best method to contain his Violence.
For some, it is nagging by a Spouse that triggers their Violence, In such case, the other Spouse needs to avoid nagging their Spouse, because it is a form of Verbal violence as well. In this 'broke economy' of Nigerians, nagging a bread winner who has lost his job and calling him unprintable names will or attacking his manhood, will only tigger his Violence and you only have yourself to blame.

For some, it is Cheating on their Spouse that triggers the Violence. It is best to stay single if you know you cannot do without multiple sex partners between your legs. You cant eat your cake and still want it.

In essence, the Violence itself is largely environmental and ubiquitous, there is nothing anyone can do about that.
What we should focus on, is how to avoid what TRIGGERS the Violence.

Many people have said "My Spouse was aan Angel when we were dating and before we got married, now s/he is worse than the Devil".
Well, Courtship is not likely to set-up the TRIGGER, because you see each other sparingly, are committed to not flicking the Trigger of each other and are generally more accommodating of each other's weakness.

And YES, when everything fails, it is advisable to go on a HIATUS from each other, not with the aim to profiteer from the situation but to see whether distance and time can reinvigorate the commitment that would ensure we dont set-off the TRIGGER that leads to Violence in our Spouses.

rotecch77:
If home owners like you can afford to pay premium for Labour like 7000 -10,000 per day is not bad others can follow same
At the end of the day 3bedroom will cost btw 20-25m to build.
Minimum wages salary earner will also step up there game so that they can be an home owner too
Nigeria don beta be dat
And Govt, who is the biggest employer of Labour is still unable to pay #18,000 minimum Wage?
Will the Civil Servants not go to the same market like all those who earn #10,000 per day?

Standard of Living is a SYSTEM, one part of that System cannot just run high while others remain low.
Like water, everything will settle down to its own level.

If Labourers earns #10,000 per day and Three bedroom costs #25M to build, Landlord will rent it out at #4M per annum, (or a single Room ar #1.8M per annum, how many Nigerians can afford that? grin grin

If you think labourers are suffering, go and ask the MD of a Company that has to pay Workers at the end of the Month, even though half of the Month was used as "Sit-at-home or one Civil unrest or the other". undecided

Russians should be happy that the thieves left their countries.

1. BP, taking a share of someone's natural resources

2. McDonald selling obese food

3. Coca-Cola selling diabetic drinks

4. Toyota: Russians should be satisfied with their own products.

5. IKEA sells low-quality products.
Some of these Companies leaving Russia, are doing so under severe pressure from America, which has threatened to seize their Assets if they dont leave.
America is a BULLY.

But Russians are taking up those positions and using it to their advantage.
Russia is an industrialised country, not Nigeria, it can transfer technology very quickly and it has the means to absord the vacuum, in the long run.

Putin is not so worried about who is leaving, he has promised to nationalise the assets of anyone who leaves and Russians will do their job.
His focus now is to contain American expansionism in Ukraine and that will be concluded this week.
Ukraine is toast.

FreeStuffsNG:
The uproar that controversial letter generated could have been pre-empted and averted.

For example, the letter may have stated in clear terms that rccg, by this letter, has not conceded an automatic or retroactive endorsement for frontline rccg members in politics like HE Osibanjo , Senator(Mrs) Oluremi Tinubu (Quintessential,smart,bold, virtuous wife of Asiwaju Tinubu and Senator representing Lagos Central Federal Constituency) et al.

Though it is better late than never, many will still argue that this response is an afterthought and does no remedy to the insunuations flying around that the RCCG is now for APC.

[s]1 Thess 5:18 commands us to give thanks in all circumstances. I have no iota of doubt that all these political developments will end in praise to God for the victory of Asiwaju Tinubu at the Presidential polls.

On the mandate of Asiwaju Tinubu I stand.
Please support the BAT 2023 winning team and vote for Asiwaju Tinubu.

Asiwaju Tinubu is extremely brilliant, visionary, capable and competent to lead Nigeria to greater heights.
Please support Asiwaju Tinubu.[/s]

EU has already said they have gotten to the height of sanctions against Russia. It can't be worse for Russia than this.
Because of same sanctions, USA has the highest inflation rate in 40 years, prices of crude oil and gas have record highs. Russia, being the supplier of almost half of crude oil, coal and gas to the whole of Europe, cannot go down even if they lose the war. The only problem they can have is societal breakdown that would oust Putin and bring in someone that can't handle international politics like he did.
EU is now trying hard to get rid of Russian fossil fuels but the only costless option is renewable energy, which is like doing away with carbon fuels totally, and it's decades away.
All of them in Europe are now thinking of building Nuclear Power Plants that they have jettisoned a long time ago. grin grin

Remember, it was the Ukrainian President (Zelensky), who passed a law that ANY MALE, between the ages of 16-60yrs, must not be allowed to leave the Country and are conscripted into the Military?

Remember that it was this same Zelensky who shared weapons to civilians and asked them to "defend Ukraine" while he himself ran away and hid in a bunker in Poland?

What can the people do, when a Comedian is President and is a PAWN in the NATO political brinkmanship? cry cry

So, essentially, Ukrainians are being forced to fight and face a military far beyond their capacity!

There are civilian fighters who are ready to attack Russian troops but when they are killed by Russian troops, they are not considered as fighters but civilians only.
Thank you o!

SarkinYarki:
The conflict has been badly handled by both sides and could lead to grave economic consequences for the world ... Putin's invasion has been haphazard instead of the "blitzkrieg" we expected ..the deal was go in there and topple Zelensky within 48 hours not Minding any collateral damage , set up a pro Kremlin interim govt and pull back Russian military to the separatist regions and start Negotiating sanctions..Putin seems to have messed this up with the kid glove haphazard invasion....Putin is not a good strategist like we have all been made to believe if he was the proper thing to do was to crush the CIA coup of 2014 and we wouldnt be here but he sat down in Kremlin and let the CIA have their way..
While it may seem like Putin has not executed this invasion, the way we all expected, l think we have to take some things into calculation because what "we" are expecting, is the same thing the NATO/EU were expecting and have "prepared Ukraine adequately" for such invasion method.
Let me explain, from my own point of view:

2014: No one, not even Putin, could have expected that the CIA would go that far,to support Neo Nazis of the Azov Battalion, to oust a democratically elected Victor Yanukovych, the way the CIA did, at least not in Europe.
The Govt of Yanukovych was actually in negotiation with the opposition, when they struck and set them on fire.
The only thing Russia could do on that timescale, is to seize Crimea so that the Azov Neo Nazis would not do ethnic cleaning on the Ethnic Russians in Crimea.
Even after 2014, he was still negotiating and actually reached an agreement with the Ukrainian Govt, with Germany and France as the Guarantors of that agreement, dubbed Minsk 1 & Minsk 2.
That is how hopeful he was though the Ukrainians are treacherous lots and never implemented the agreement.

Russia has always seen Ukrainians as Russians and felt that one day, they would be able to live peacefully, side-by-side so, his response to Ukraine is always 'measured' but he seems to have run out of options now.

The Invasion: America has been planning for this Russian invasion since the lessons of Crimea annexation.
As of late December 2021, a lot of Weapons that were designed for the sort of "Urban warfare" that you talked about (Bleizkrieg), light and fast assault, go-in, come-out quickly. have flooded Ukraine
Ukraine has been equipped with over 50,000 Anti Tank Javellins, an even larger number of Stinger Missiles, Special close combat guns, body armor, Turkish-made military Drones, etc. The CIA has also made Ukraine a dump ground of many American weapons since 2015 till date.

The effect of all these weapons (with the lost 'element of surprise', since the Americans have been feeding the Ukrainians with Intelligence to prepare for an invasion), and preparation on the part of Ukraine, means that "Russia cannot and should not do the expected" otherwise, it could end very badly!
Putin was initially set for the Crimea-type of lightening Assault in the first 24hrs but he re-assessed the situation and his field Generals also did same. He lost some Personnel and Tanks to the Javellins and Stinger Missiles in the initial 2days and he paused to change tactics.

That is why Zelensky was boasting that he will defeat Russia and the West were urging him on.
They even made fun of Putin, some said his 60Km long of Military hardware was stuck, some said he ran out of fuel or some of his equipment has been sabotage by his own Soldiers! Western media described him as "confused" and said he has met his Waterloo grin

In War, you cant insist on a strategy that is compromised, you have to re-strategize, which is what Putin did for a few days.
With Zelensky sharing weapons to Civilians and asking them to join the fight, with Ukrainian Army embedded among Civilians, a fast Assault with result in unbelievable Civilian casualty and we all know that Public Sympathy will change quickly because some of the Civilians living in Ukraine that will be killed, have families in Russia. His Personnel loses will also be much.

That is why Putin decided on a Strategy of softening "the outposts" first (where resistance is least, due to reduced ukrainia resistance, except for some big Cities like Kerchiv, Mariopol, Odessa), stabilize those areas with his soldiers and then gradually stretch the Ukrainian defense by stretching it over a wide area (attacking right round the country, encircling it from all areas),

He also decided not to use much infantry for the strategic Cities but rather use "ong range, precision Missiles and carpet bombing" to destroy Ukrainian defense first.
In fact, knowing that the NATO and EU allies will send fighter Jets and weapons into Ukraine, he began to destroy all Ukraine's Airports, Landing Strips and just about any piece of land that a Plane could land or take-off from, before even taking a single Ukrainian City,.
This forced the Ukrainians to bring their "donated weapons" together in large depots ... and then he used long range Missiles to explode such military Depots. He also ensured he knocked out all the Electronic warfare equipment that America has given to Ukraine. grin

Suddenly, the 60Km line of Motorised Equipment like Flame throwers that has been lying idle for almost two weeks, suddenly started to disperse in different directions (meanwhile, Ukrainians have them loaded on their Stinger and Javellins Missile sights ,,,,,,,,, but Putin was smart enough not to go within their strike range, which is about 5km.) and Ukrainian military went into an overdrive of confusion because they dont know which column to attack, as they are all moving into different directions.

In essence, Putin is too smart to "do what we all expected him to do", if he did, his loses in this war will be embarrassing.
Let us also realise that if not for his strategies of "long range deflection", America may have developed the liver to send Troops in support of Ukraine but he did two things, which prove he was a Master strategist:

1) He put his Nuclear Forces on Red Alert (whether he actually meant to use them or not, the end result is to tie America's hands not to even think about it)
2) He declared that if his forces were attacked from any of the neighbouring nations, he will consider that nation as part of the war and "an active participant" and therefore a legitimate target!
You can see Poland that wants to supply Fighter Jets to his neighbour, Ukraine, first taking them to a US Base in far-away Germany and then asking America to send the jets to Ukraine by itself! grin
Ofcourse, America was very angry and told him to eff-off, if he cant take them there by himself!
That was a big relief for Russia, borne out of strategic planning by Putin but everyone said he was mad, for making that Red alert decision!

Right now, he has began to squeeze the capital from all angles. within a 25km radius and the circle keeps getting tighter.
I know Zelensky ran out of Ukraine, a long time ago (he is just using Props and Flags to deceive his people that he is still inside Ukraine, let him come out on the streets so everyone can confirm his whereabouts. Not even a cellphone with GPS location tracking is allowed in his interviews) otherwise he would be eating Beans in a Russian prison for a very long time.

For one country and its President, to out-manoeuvre a Military Alliance of the most powerful Nations on Earth including the USA and be dogged about achieving his military objectives, we have to give it to him, Putin is the Man!

You cry more about consequences instead of the actions that led to that consequences which is a direct opposite of what is happening in Israel.

Israel was attacked and they responded.
Russia has never been attacked by the so called US or the West yet they are invading another country over something that has never happened before.

You talked about placing missiles in Ukraine, yet a simple search would show that it is not only Ukraine that borders Russia. Some NATO members also border Russia yet no missile is there so why should there be a missile in Ukraine?

can you mention just one conflict where the West directly confronted Russia?

yet you say Russia and Israel are similar. Do you people ever read??

You must think they are like Nigerians who connive with the enemy of their country or who serve the interest of their enemies, out of ignorance?
You must think Russians dont have the Power to remove Putin if they wanted to do it TODAY-TODAY or that they dont know that Putin is God-sent to them?
Russians are one of the smartest and hardworking people on Mother Earth and they know that if not for Putin, Russia would have been turned to another American boy-Boy (like Britain, who just follow America blindly, because it cant defend itself anymore and is an "Empire of Yesterday" grin

If all we have is the propaganda we watch on CNN , Fox News or other Western MSM, then we may believe that Russians are dying to remove Putin.
But unfortunately, they know and recognise that after that drunk President called Boris Yeltsin was deceived into "Glasnot and Perestroika", by American CIA, leading to the fracturing of USSR, it was Putin who put them back together and still made Russia a Super Power, among all the Nations of the break-up USSR!
That is why they keep electing him, term after term, that is why he is the ONLY President in the World who has an Acceptance rating of 69% (Biden is at a miserly 33%, just after one year grin ) among his people!
Russians might be feeling the pain of the illegal and criminal sanctions and Asset stealing of America, (they are now sanctioning India, for not supporting their nonsense!), they know that the alternative to Putin (like the Navalny's of this world), is an American Puppet who will destroy the dignity of Russia in no time.
No Russian wants Putin dead, they are just looking for ways to evade the Americans and their Stealing Allies.

You will find it on Vimeo or Rumble. I have shared the link earlier. undecided

The President was almost assassinated, at the end of the day, after many of his supporters were either burned alive or have their head blown-off by Western-sponsored Snipers of the Azov Battalion. The President's Motorcade, even after he was running for his dear Life, was sprayed with Bullets but luckily, he suspected they dont want him alive and did not follow the Motorcade, he left in an Helicopter!
The Coupist thought they had killed Victor Yanukovytch, the Democratically elected President of Ukraine who was ousted forcefully.

Google What the US under-Secretary, Victoria Nuland, did in Ukraine in 2014
Google the Speech of former Presidential Aspirant and US Senator, John McCain, said and di at the Maidan Square in Ukraine.

You guys need to Chill and read first, then form your own opinion of events. The Western Propaganda is overwhelming, l know.

is it that you guys are allergic to the Internet or what.

You're comparing Israel to Russia situation, really?

Now, can you prove these 3 cases in Russia favour:
- Your neighbouring states ganging up to attack you that you have to fight to survive.

Most European Countries, especially those Baltic Countries of former USSR (Poland, Latvia, Slovakia, etc) have all ganged up against Russia, supplying Weapons to Ukraine, against Russia.

- Not being recognised as a legitimate nation by those same neighbours.
Russian Neigbours, on the prompting of their American benefactors, have said they dont recognise that Crimea is a part of Russia (even after the Crimeans did a Referendum that the Western nation themselves acclaim to be free and fair and they voted over 90% to be part of Russia but the same West, EU and Russian neighbours still say they wont agree.
Same thing with Lugansk and Donetsk Republics who have voted to break away from Ukraine.
You cant force people you maltreat to be a part of you, they will want out.
Biafra is a good example..


- Those same neighbours publicly bragging about destroying you with military actions.

Poland, a neighbour to Russia, recently said it is ready to dedicate its country to attacks against Russia. Many neighbours of Russia, who are members of the E.U (except Belarus alone), have all bragged about how much weapons they have sent to Russia.
These neighbours of Russia have all joined NATO/EU with only one ambition: To destroy the Power of Russia and America urges them on.
They have all ganged up to impose sanctions on Russia, to steal the Assets ot Russia and ordinary, Civilian Russians.


it's the way you guys fall for Putin propaganda head first without even knowing it that gets to me the most.
Now, you know who has internet but does not use it properly? grin
I dont like to say others are IGNORANT because it sounds derogatory but people like you need to Read and Research more, just dont listen to Western Propaganda, before you take a position on an international issue like this.


I have attached links in my previous Post, do yourself a favour and just go through them, so you can have a balanced View of these events, l am not asking you to believe the message but it is a form of wider education.

Taah... He too should sponsor a pro-Russian president again. It's called politics, he lost, invading a sovereign country shouldn't be the next thing.
A Super Power (like Russia) and a Pawn, paper Weight Country (like Ukraine) DO NO DO Tit-For-Tat.
Imagine if Mexico is expecting America to do tit-for-tat with it?
America will just invade it, seize its territory (which is how they seized New Mexico and Ne Carlifornia from Republic of Mexico), to teach it not to mess with the Big Boyz.

You only do tit-for-tat with a Nation of Equal power.

When it comes to THREATS against National Security, threats against their very Existence, Super Powers will Act without giving a Bleep about anybody.
America has done it so many times and we didn't hear all of you hear make a sound or whimper.
Let Russia be, abeg. Next time Ukraine will not allow itself to be used as a PAWN, in a Power game of Super Powers. undecided

Yes, Russia has always been a strategic enemy to US, but everyone is now feeling the pain.

Gas prices are so high in the US right now, it doesn't seem to pay anyone. Although Nigeria might profiteer at this point if we play our cards right at the international market. This is a good time to make money from LNG and Crude oil sales.
Nigeria is not profiting from this War, rather we are loosing because as a Nation without Refineries, as the price of Crude Oil rises (and we sell more and make more money but we cant even raise our Crude Output because we dont have the infrastructure to do so), so is the price of PMS that comes into Nigeria, gets even more costlier and we use the profit we make from Crude Oil sales, plus even those from other sectors of our economy, to buy PMS. undecided grin

Only Countries with good Refining Capacities and Crude Oil Stocks, are making a huge profit now.

Back to the Topic:
Russia has been under severe US Sanctions since 2014, when it seized Crimea from Ukraine.

Russia has built-in a lot of Resilience into its economy, because it has been expecting a day like this to come.
For example, Russia used to import about 15% of its consumable food in post-2014 but right now, it is self-sufficient in food production and is actually the highest exporter of food like Wheat and other grains.
Most foreign Industries in Russia are mostly Russian operated and some of them will get Nationalised, if they decide to leave (Most of them claim to "suspend" operations temporarily grin )

Russia has created alternative markets in Asia, Middle East and the far East, for a day like this. Countries like China, Turkey, S/Africa, India, Pakistan, etc have refused to impose any sanctions on Russia. These are the countries Russia trades with, the most and they have even developed an alternative payment Systems (though not as widely used as the SWIFT Payment Systems) to bypass the American led system.

Sanctions no doubt, will still be affecting Russia but it will never bring Russia to its knees, as some people are thinking moreso, the Sanctions is already biting in America and the European countries.
Before long, you will start seeing Riots in the West, over rising prices (Albania is the first Country as of today, to be experiencing nation-wide civil unrest, due to the cost of Energy and other Staples), resulting from the Sanctions on Russia.
More Western countries will soon erupt into chaos, if the sanctions continue and price of Energy, which also affect price of other products and transportation, keeps rising.

As much as l hate War, l think Zelensky, Ukrainian President,, has himself to blame, for leading his Country into this situation and allowing America/West to use it as a Pawn in the Chess of Cold War Politics. Ukraine is almost totally destroyed, (Infrastructurally, especially Military) and it will take decades to rebuild. It should have remained NEUTRAL.

I know that Russia will not stop, until it has ensured that Ukraine is not in a position to decide to join NATO (though NATO has also said Ukraine is off-the-table for now), by destroying its ability to Wage War. Russia will also ensure that Ukraine has a Govt that is Pro-Russia, after killing all those Neo-Nazis in the "Azov Battalion" who were enlisted into Ukraine's National Army.

I watched a Documentary someone referred on one of the threads here and it really shed a lot of light on this Russia-Ukraine War.
Watch it also, you wont find it on YouTube as they removed it about a week ago.

China is obviously not doing that. They also have an invasion agenda (against Taiwan) and that's why they're taking a stand against the West...

If I was Putin, I would have staged a more reasonable excuse to invade Ukraine. Maybe I would have accused them of building nuclear weapons at Chernobyl Nuclear plant or something. A valid reason for invasion is far more important than the invasion itself. The US probably did that to a few countries too grin
Any World Power (and America has done so, many times in the past) will invade another sovereign country, especially its neighbour, if that neighbour is taking Military Steps which it deems are a threat to its Existence.
That is a No-Brainer. What reaon can be more reasonable or valid than that?

Israel keeps bombing Syria, Iraq and even Iran's Nuclear Project ON A DAILY BASIS simply because it deems some of their activities will remove its own military superiority in the Middle East, something it says is an "Existential threat".
Why is Israel not sanctioned or its assets seized?
How is Russia different?

Countries have gone to War over just "Water Source", they gone to war over who owns a Trade Route, they have gone to War over Resources like Oil, why then do we not understand that putting Nukes on Russian Border or Ukraine joining a Military Alliance like NATO, is an Existential Threat to Russia and Russia will do ANYTHING to prevent that from happening?

Ukraine just needs to agree that it will abide by a Neutral Status and wont Host NATO's Weapons henceforth, for this Invasion to Stop
but each time they are about to reach such Agreement, America and UK will add fuel to the fire and ask Zelensky not to agree, that they would send more weapons to it and the fighting then escalates a notch higher.

America was investing and designing Biological Weapons with/in Ukraine.
Russia stumbled on the Biological Weapons Lab, during the invasion and as Ukrainian Scientist have been told to quickly destroy the MAterials, before it gets into Russian hands but Russia still got some of it.

The Weapons consist of research on 26 Birds who are supposed to be the delivery Agents of the Bio-Weapons (Just like thye developed Corona Virus and spread it to the world angry ).

Russia reported America to the UN Security Council but the "America Puppet organisation" that the UN has become, did not take any action against the USA.

Now, the Americans are turning around to say that Russia wants to use Biological and Chemical Weapons on Ukraine!
In actual fact, America has given Ukraine the go-ahead to use any weapon, Chemical or Biological, on Russian Soldiers but they will turn around that it was Russia that used the banned weapons.

This was the same "false-flag" method that America used in Iraq, Syria and even Libya, where they accused Ghadafi of using such banned weapons, to justify their invasion of Libya.
Do we think Russia would allow this in Ukraine?

US-funded laboratories in Ukraine captured by Russian forces last week were conducting experiments with bat coronavirus and other dangerous pathogens, Moscow claimed on Thursday, citing documents seized at the facilities. There were allegedly plans to move on to African swine fever virus and to anthrax.

Igor Konashenkov, spokesperson for Russia’s Ministry of Defense, said that “experiments with samples of bat coronavirus were being carried out in the bio-laboratories, created and funded [by the US] in Ukraine, as documents show.” The Russian official went on to claim that in 2022 the US was intending to “work on bird, bat and reptile pathogens,” with plans to move on to research into whether those animals can “transmit African swine fever virus and anthrax.”
According to Konashenkov, the scientists were looking into, among other things, the possibility of pathogen transmission by wild birds migrating between Russia, Ukraine and other neighboring countries.

On Sunday, Russia announced that it had captured several laboratories in Ukraine. If Moscow officials are to be believed, staff at some of the facilities told Russian troops that particularly dangerous pathogens, including plague and anthrax, had been destroyed following the start of Moscow’s military offensive against Ukraine on February 24.

Konashenkov surmised that the Pentagon feared that its “secret biological experiments” would be uncovered, ordering Ukrainian authorities to dispose of evidence pointing to such research.

Responding to the allegations voiced by Russia on Wednesday, Ned Price, spokesperson for the US Department of State, accused Moscow of “intentionally spreading outright lies.” According to Price, similar claims made previously by Russia “have been debunked conclusively and repeatedly over many years.” The US official proceeded to suggest that the latest pathogen allegations were nothing more than a pretext invented by the Kremlin “in an attempt to justify its own horrific actions in Ukraine.”

Washington insisted that the “United States does not own or operate any chemical or biological laboratories in Ukraine, it is in full compliance with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and Biological Weapons Convention.” The US Department of State pointed the finger at Moscow instead, accusing it of having “active chemical and biological weapons programs.”

Ukraine, too, has denied the presence of any facilities developing biological weapons on its territory.

The American embassy in Kiev confirmed that the US Department of Defense “collaborates with partner countries,” but only to “counter the threat of outbreaks.”

China, however, has made it clear that it is not entirely convinced by America’s explanations, and urged Washington to disclose relevant data “as soon as possible.”

Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, its Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that Beijing had information indicating that the said laboratories in Ukraine were just the “tip of an iceberg.” Zhao went on to claim that the Pentagon “controls 336 biological laboratories in 30 countries around the world,” with the secret program operating under the guise of efforts to “reduce biosecurity risks” and to strengthen “global public health.”

Confiscating the assets of companies that have fled Russia since the invasion of Ukraine would shatter investor confidence for decades and take Russia back to the calamitous days of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, metals magnate Vladimir Potanin has said.

Potanin, president and biggest shareholder of Norilsk Nickel (GMKN.MM), the world's largest producer of palladium and refined nickel, said Russia should respond with pragmatism to its exclusion from swathes of the global economy.

"We should not try to 'slam the door' but endeavour to preserve Russia's economic position in those markets which we spent so long cultivating," Potanin, 61, said on the Telegram messaging app.

Potanin, one of the most prominent Russian billionaires who is not sanctioned by the West, said confiscating assets from companies that had left would put Russia out in the cold for decades, as far as investors were concerned:

"It would take us back 100 years to 1917. And the consequences - a global lack of confidence in Russia from investors - we would feel for many decades."
The highlighted paragraph above explains everything !
So, the West carefully chooses who to sanction and who not to?
Potanin is not under sanctions.

If you dont support the West (America/NATO/EU), they sanction you and steal your Assets but if you do, you become their Agent, to be used to destabilize your won country.
So, one can understand why the Russian Oligarch is saying what he is saying. grin grin

Hhmm...
...... That's why it happens more often there. I believe this stems from the fact it's okay to hit kids in Africa. So to many, hitting is corrective. While deep down, we all know it's more about anger than love.
You are wrong about the above.
1) Abusing a Child - Using profanity on a child (Verbal); applying extreme Violence or physical injuries on a Child (Physical abuse)
2) Hitting a Child - Use of one's Fist to impact a child
3) Disciplining a Child - Training a Child to have desirable Values
4) Flogging a Child - Applying a Cane to the hand or buttocks of a Child

Now, all the above will cause pain and make a Child Cry but they are very different from each other.
As a Parent, l cant stand and watch an adult Abuse a Child or Hit a Child with their Fist. I have have challenged many Parents or older people who do such to a Child in my presence.

When it comes to disciplining a Child, l am 100% for it. I consider it as part of the necessary job of a Parent, to mould a Child into a decent member of the society. Most of the problems we have in Nigeria today, arises from lack of discipline, of our children.
It even gets worse because untrained Parents who themselves lack discipline, have now given birth to children they cant train, because "you cant give what you dont have".

Flogging is not compulsory but at times, it is necessary to drive home a point, A point that repeated verbal correction has failed to drive home.
It all depends on the child, some Children will conform, just by the "red eye" of their Parents.
Some other Child will not harken to the red eye but wil only conform when you shout and repeat the correction a few times.
Some other children are like Goats, you need to drive home th point ina mature and humane manner, not out of anger.

Every Parent needs to understand their child and apply the appropriate level of discipline but just dont be doing copy-copy of other parents because your children are not the same.

The Golden Rule for physical punishment of a Child is: Never flog a child when you are ANGRY.
Focus on the lesson (using pep talk, before and after canning), let the flogging be as minimal as possible because the goal is not to inflict 'damage" but to re-inforce a learning an change of behaviour.
Most Parents flog out of anger and that is very wrong
Show the child more love, after the flogging, so he knows that he is still loved but needs to be corrected.

That is how l was raised, that is how l am raising my Children and that is how my eldest Son is raising his own child, it has not failed us to date,

Yes, l flog my Children occassionally, the last one just finnished SS4 and three are already Graduates,
