Mumusaphire:
My question is, is Russia using democracy or military government?

WoundedLamb:
Want or no want, the country of Ukraine has that decision to make; not the US, not the UK. NATO has an open door policy. Ukrainians had a vote and the majority voted in favour of joining NATO.The question is, why is did the majority vote to join the body and why is it important now more than ever? It is because of this same Russia and thier endless harassment. The Budapest Memorandum was in place to ensure the safety of Ukraine. The moment Russia violated it was the moment it became vert important for Ukraine to seek other sources of security.

OyeofIkoTuN:
Good...can UK please allow Nigeria as a sovereign nation link up China since they have been good to us,fixing our roads,building visible bridges and developments in general..I prefer they build bases here. What do you think? we don't want Chevron and co here anymore, let China do the P..

spartan117:
Did US put any missile in Ukraine?

riczy:
Those whom d gods wud kill,he will first make mad!

Great0ne1:
Have said it before and will repeat this again. Americas over ambition to dominate this earth will set the world on another world war. They are everywhere causing all sorts of problem. Trump lead administration would have likely pushed for peaceful settlement rather than encouraging war. You call yours self the great example of democracy, but you cannot respect the choices the people of crimea and donbass has made. You called putin a mad man capable of taken down the earth with his nuclear weapon, but you keep moving your war machine to his door step, trying to provoke him, under the pretence of nato. WHAT ON EARTH DOES AMERICA AND THE USELESS PUPPETS UNDER NATO REALLY WANT ?

Rhado:
Na so, everybody geh something to say on top this war. No wahala but Putin is wicked.

somehow:
Every news from this forum has been from the US and NATO nations.

How do you expect your readers on this forum to be truly informed?

Same pattern until they destroyed countries like Iraq and Libya with lies and propoganda.

Whoever is pushing all these US side of the story on this forum is either wicked or fully ignorant.

CoronaVirusPro:
“ This is really a pattern that we've seen from President Putin through the course of this conflict, which is manufacturing threats that don't exist in order to justify further aggression -- and the global community and the American people should look at it through that prism," Psaki told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week."


Putin just chest beating. I have a God given talent of reading the minds of short people. The Kremlin dwarf just chest beating.

I thought his bravery would make Russian stock market open today, No way Putin would not make it to the hospital

Attention he is just craving. Even in drunkenness, he won’t try it.

Short people love being noticed and have egos taller than them, which they will never have the height to reach

Vicotex:
“Dictator” is a propaganda term. A[b] “dictator”[/b] is defined as “someone we don’t like.” For example, Saddam Hussein was considered a great guy when he was fighting Iran and Iran was giving the U.S. problems. But he magically transformed into a “dictator” when he did things we didn’t like. This is not saying what he did was good or bad. His invasion of Kuwait was bad.

Another example was Suharto in Indonesia. He was a mass murderer who killed millions of people and fed communists to crocodiles. Instead, as Chomsky properly noted, the U.S. media focused on Pol Pot, who was also a mass murderer. But Suharto was considered a great guy by the U.S. because of his anti-communism.

Or consider the term[b] “terrorist” vs “freedom-fighter.”[/b] A terrorist is someone we don’t like. A freedom fighter is someone who commits the same acts, but for us. Again, the objective good or bad they are doing needs to be analyzed in a less biased and politicized manner.

For example, Osama bin Laden:

Keep doing the good work PUTIN

ButterBurger:
I never knew Putin had so much fans in Nigeria.

jayworld15:
Joining EU opens a quick door for the Ukraine to wrestle herself from the grip of Russia. It also makes quick their accessibility in joining NATO.

Takeproft:
He has always wanted to talk. I'm not sure he's happy killing his brothers that's why they tried as much as possible to avoid human casualties

Gertyman:
Am not sure you followed the news recently, some Chinese banks are already avoiding Russia. That's even when US has not even announced secondary sanctions o.

BluntTheApostle:
We don't know because the West have blockaded Russian news with the excuse that it is propaganda.

Perhaps, Putin underrated the Ukrainians, but it happens.

The United States underrated the Somali militiamen during the Battle of Mogadishu and lost 19 American soldiers within 24 hours. Perhaps more soldiers died because they really got their asses whooped in that 1993 battle they had to run back to base with their tails between their legs.

I will like to see the United States fight a developed country, though.

smallsmall:
Israel kills Palestinians on a daily basis, despite being the one occupying their lands, controlling how much water they can drink, how much Cement can enter their Prison, if and when they can get Hospital treatment, How much food can enter their territory, how much Petrol is allowed into Gaza, where they can travel to and if they can come back home, etc.

But you never hear it in the Western Media, it does not concern them, those Palestinians do not deserve all the hue and cry of Sovereignty, Human Rights or Dignity.

Even the fools on this Nairaland blaming Russia have never spared a thought and blame EU/NATO for not attacking Israel over such atrocities but they are here crying their hearts out over Russia.
That shows you how daft, Black people, especially Nigerians, are.
The World has truly lost its sense of Justice.

hammer567:

*For those confused about the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, and by extension NATO.*
— Russia represents a polygamous husband with many wives like Ukraine, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belorussia, and the other Ex-Soviet Republics.
— In 1991, Ukraine being the most beautiful wife, demanded a divorce from her draconian husband.
— Russia grudgingly allowed her, but due to his toxicity and ego, he would rather see her remain single, subservient, and dependent.
— As a dynamic lady, Ukraine rapidly developed herself into one of the most beautiful women after the divorce.
— To the chagrin of Russia, Ukraine, his ex-wife, becomes a center of attraction wanted by other men, including his foe, NATO.
—Ukraine’s pulchritude and natural endowment earn her recognition from NATO—a counterpart to Russia.
—The relationship between NATO and Ukraine started growing at an alarming pace, unsettling the nerves of the ex-husband, Russia.
— As expected of a toxic narcissist, Russia went berserk. He insisted that a relationship between Ukraine and NATO will breed conspiratorial connivance, which poses a more significant threat to the masculinity and ego of Russia.
— NATO, a polygamist like Russia, is a liberal. His wives include the U.K., U.S., Greece, Germany, Spain, and many more.
— To NATO, the addition of Ukraine to his fleet of wives makes him more powerful and gives him an upper hand ahead of Russia.
— To Russia, NATO, and Ukraine’s marriage poses a grandiose threat to his territory. Therefore, he is committed to ensuring the relationship never happens.
— In his quest to truncate this relationship, Russia wants to reconstitute his past relationship; he is a nationalist, a fascist in the mode of Adolf Hitler.
— As a result of this, he abruptly barged into his unsuspecting ex-wife’s house a few days ago.
— The unwanted guest is currently holding her hostage, surrounding her house with hundreds of _dongaris_.
— NATO, at the moment, is scrambling for how best to rescue his new wife from her abusive ex.
— Russia had warned that anyone who interferes as he gobbles Ukraine would suffer consequences that they did not dream possible; that is, he has nuclear weapons to eviscerate even those who know nothing about his strained relationship with his ex.
—Right now, Ukraine is stuck between an abusive ex-husband and a new lover who has promised her the most exquisite things in the world.
— The world is perturbed as they watch this dispute in awe and fear.
— The rescue mission, if haphazardly planned, may likely boomerang into an all-out war between the two suitors and their friends.
— NATO, a businessman (Capitalist) and the controller of the G7, has threatened to impose severe sanctions against Russia if he fails to withdraw his _Dongaris_ from Ukraine's premises.
— The G7 are the big guys around. They include the U.S., U.K., Canada, EU, Italy, Japan, France, and Germany. An affiliation with these guys is lucrative, capable of catapulting any country to booming affluence.
— The essence of these sanctions is that these big guys will ghost Russia and cut every tie with him in an attempt to humble him “economically.”

*How is Africa connected to this conflict?*
— Africa should be worried about one thing, her economy.
— Economically, Africa and the rest of the world will be significantly affected should a war break out in Europe.
— The world is yet to recover fully from the aftermath of COVID-19.
— Asides from that, I see no reason why any African country/leader should take sides, at least, for now.
— Russia is the only European country that stood with Africa during the colonial period. Russia fought with Angola against the South African apartheid regime and defended Lumumba.
— Africa had better be spectators rather than a participant in this conflict.
— It is not on record that Russia had once colonized or invaded the African continent like Ukraine's new husband once did.
— There is an ongoing liberation in Mali. Russia is currently liberating Mali from French Imperialism.
— The embittered ex and the new husband are inconsolable at the moment.
— Although Olori Ebi (the United Nations) has attempted to mediate, Russia is deviant to his appeasement because the U.S. is the one feeding Olori Ebi the most. Understandably, he may not favor Russia.

Kellzzyy:
Putin will suffer in the deepest parts of hell fire.
Along with Putin urchins here on Nairaland.

smallsmall:
Hear your News from various sources, dont limit yourself to the Propaganda dished out on MSM like CNN and most of these Western Media.
In addition to then, listen to RT News, CGTN, Aljazeera News,

In between all these, if you keep an open mind, you will be able to decipher the Truth.
also, trace the problem back a bit, for example,
- how did US or NATO come to have a hold on Ukraine?
- What happened to the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED Ukrainian President called Yanokovich, IN 2014?
- Who are the Arzov Battallions? What is their role in Govt and how was such organisation formed and to waht purpose?
- Why is the US and NATO so fixated on "saving" Ukraine?
- What is the Minsk1 and 2 Agreements between Ukraine, Germany, France and Russia, concerning the area of Dombas, in Eastern Ukraine? Why was it not implemented b Ukrainian Govt?
- Why are the European nations following the dictates of the US, despite the fact that their US-dictated Sanctions on Russia, is hurting their economies so much, while enriching the US?

These are some of the questions Nigerians should be interested in, not just blindly taking sides or acting on the propaganda of MSM.
It is very important for everyone of us to seek and know the truth in a conflict situation so that they dont use Propaganda to confuse us,

Nonybb:
Please tell me

DropsMic:
Lol.... The west and Propaganda

bonechamberlain:
This is more of a western propaganda war. 80% of all news here supporting Ukraine are fake news spearheaded by the US.

What people have failed to realize is that the Russian army haven't gone all out, (I doubt if they have used 10% of their capabilities) as they are trying as much as possible to minimise civilian losses and make Ukrainian citizens believe that they aren't against them.
If Russia goes all out, probably use just 30% of their military capabilities. Zelensky, Klitschko and the elite forming Patriots would be the first to either go under ground or flee.

dasparrow:
Europeans no send Africans message. This is why I have never understood those of you who worship them and treat them like gods when they come to Nigeria while they treat you like crap when you come to theirs. Una go learn the hard way. A time will come when Europe will no longer be safe for Africans. That time is coming. Mark my words. Fix your country, you people refused. See am now.

seunny4lif:
France is even thinking about reduce EU members because only 10 EU members are making money for EU.
All Baltic are parasites to EU.

Aderewah:
Destroy Ukraine. To all idiots quoting me. You think Ukraine cares about your black ass? You're supporting racist nazis pretending to be victims. You're supporting NATO presided by US that has enslaved the world with dollar hegemony? You're against Putin, the only European leader who supported Gaddafi when Western hyenas came for him? Putin who opposes climate change bullshit which the West wants to use to stop Africa from ever industrialising? Some of you are irredeemable imbeciles.

See what Putin said about Africa.

The25thBAM:
The same Ukraine that killed its eastern citizens since 2014 but western propaganda kept mute.

I know most of you haven't heard of the AZOV BRIGADE before.
Look at some of their soldiers here...ethnic cleasing and neo-nazisim , supported by the Ukrainian government in Kyiv.

WoundedLamb:
Your probably were eager to respond you failed to understand. I said you trashtalked democracy, which you actually did. I don't need to be Nigerian or live in Nigeria to see what your clearly wrote.

Now Putin is a freedom fighter. Lol. Of all the pro Putin comments I've read, yours is probably the funniest. Putin is killing civilians in Ukraine for the freedom of everyone. Wow... that's a whole new level.

TheGift:
Lol, Putin is trying to save which “ Us”? Africans that they see as monkeys?

Meanwhile the evils of the west will never justify Putin’s actions. If we allow it, then we have opened the flood gates overt imperialism and total disregard for national sovereignty.

Two wrongs will NEVER make a right!

WoundedLamb:
I don't live in Nigeria and I do not know much about Nigeria but I'm certain people like would be the first to call Buhari a tyrant if he disobeyed one court order. You're probably amongst those that supported the EndSars protest. You're here typing your opinion peacefully while trashtalking the democracy that made it possible.Talk is indeed cheap. That's all I have to say.
