OP what's this?
So funny


An estimated 25 million Soviet citizens perished in the titanic conflict with Nazi Germany between June 1941 and May 1945. Overcoming massive defeats and colossal losses over the first 18 months of the war, the Red Army was able to reorganize and rebuild to form a juggernaut that marched all the way to Berlin. But the Soviet Union was never alone: Months before the United States formally entered the war, it had already begun providing massive military and economic assistance to its Soviet ally through the Lend-Lease program.


"I want to tell you what, from the Russian point of view, the president and the United States have done for victory in this war," Stalin said. "The most important things in this war are the machines.... The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war." Nikita Khrushchev offered the same opinion. "If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs . "One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war.

Do post the source of the above.

Another OP who thinks through his Anus.
Same US rescued poor Russia under Hitlers invasion.
Same US have the best Arms for war so how do you think they gonna do that with their shameless old tactics in war? Can't even take down Ukraine in 48hours, what a shameless post

The US rescued USSR from Hitler? What history book have you been reading?

seanwilliam:
Either way
The biggest winner remain
1. USA
2. USA
3. CHINA
4. NATO



Biggest loser
1. Russia
2. Russia
3. Russia
Russia economy is gone!

I know y’all will mention Ukraine, trust me , the country will recover in no time . Many countries will support them with aids and grants .




i buy all types of giftcard and PayPal/Skrill and any other funds. I’m tested and very trusted

The biggest winner is China. Countries will start to restrict US and Western companies to avoid what happened during this war. China continually stressed that it doesn't support sanctions. I expect BRICS to come out stronger.

Which countries have actually ever threatened to use nuclear weapons?

Russia

You are joking? The list is longer than 1.

No it doesnt. Even the verse which requires such for certain positions - is 'if i recall correctly' a view of a human being.

goodheart01:
That’s the problem with u people, u don’t read to understand, always quick to argue. I wasn’t comparing Russia against US, but against NATO as a whole. Together with NATO they have more than 6,000 warheads. Hope understand now?? Moreover what difference does 5,500 or 6,255 nukes make?? Anyone with common sense should know that all it will take for US and Russia to destroy the whole earth will be around 20 warheads, and the other thousand of warheads become moribund because no one will be alive to use them.

Now let me shock.... out of the 6,000 plus nuclear warheads Russia has, only 1,458 are active, meaning they are already deployed, 3,039 are available (can be deployed if needed) and 1,760 are retired (out of use and awaiting dismantlement). That means 1,760 of those warheads are no longer functional. Gerrit??

You think it is shocking that the nuclear arsenal isn't entirely active? You know what budget is required to maintain all those warheads? You think once the order is given, then countries wont start prepping for nuclear war? You think right now countries havent started activating pre-planned strategies in this area? The nos. above states their capabilities. Case in point - Russia stopped dismantling their weapons due to their view on 'Western provocation' else they would have had less by now.

You seem to misunderstand my point. We are at a critical point where the world must ask the idiots in charge of these countries to stand down!! The combined West, NATO and Russia are threatening the lives of over 6 billion people in the world with their stupid selfish short-sighted decisions (economic, political etc) and escalations. LET THAT SINK IN!!

B2Bmen:
and u think Russia alone can sink the whooooolllleeee world abi? Russia alone cannot sink Ukraine even with nuclear bomb let alone NATO and the whole Europe. U think sey the whole world na just ajegul? Talk with sense next time. NATO have finished their calculation and risk assessment with putting and are now ready for him unlike when the war was just starting they now know that putting has nothing and his army and munations is nothing to write home about compare to their 30 nations allies. Who else notice are bold NATO is becoming to putting now unlike before the war started. They dom study Russia and their war game finished and are ready to take putting out now for Europe to know peace.and who else notice putting is not talking and forming vugar again like before. E no believe weytin him eyes see for Ukraine that the army and tanks he is using to intimidate NATO and almighty America can be this disgrace by armless Ukrainian soldier's. Na now putting go fight real war.

Erm yes Russia alone by its actions can sink the world if they launch all their nuclear arsenal. Once they launch, mutual assured destruction comes into play because others will surely launch.

NATO is bold ke? Did Russia attack NATO? Ask yourself why is NATO putting mouth in this matter? Why? Ukraine is not a NATO nation.

brutal1:
Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed russian casualties also you can't totally disregard the news from the west. The west got the intelligence report that russia was going to invade ukraine and russia denied it all the time. If there is anyone that should not be trusted here it should be who denied their intention in the first place.

You didnt answer the question - where are you getting insight on the numbers of Russian casualties, the political situation in Russia etc.

The West are the same ones that told us there was WMD in Iraq. I trust neither.

Jacopini:
USA 5,550. Russia 6,255
France 290. China 350.
Uk 225. N-koria 40-50

So dey have enouy to sink each oda nd d world with it,

Buh who are develop enough to deal wit d aftermath?

Y fight a battle nobodi wins? Wen u can fight one(no nuclear) nf see who wins?

That is precisely why I want peace. Instead I see idiots in charge of countries escalating rather than de-escalating the situation. The only reason IMHO must be money. The war mongers are lining up as vultures to see how they can make money - this could be from contracts to rebuild Ukraine, supply Ukraine with weapons etc.

joeluv:
What about Putin that poisons opposition and arrest opposition ehnnn. So he is the one that is a hero. Nigerians are clowns

Who said Putin is an hero? Putin is an old arse who shits nails on a daily basis. There are no heroes in this conflict only humans.

blowjohn:
I see how many Nigerians are supporting Putin.
They failed to see that at this point, the man has even threatened to use nuclear weapon that can have lethal consequences on even Africa and Nigeria.

For people like u, ask ur self, is it worth it?

Just to check - which countries have actually used nuclear weapons in conflict?

brutal1:
I used to think Russia is as mighty as it claimed but If russia with all the strength is fighting Only Ukraine and they've suffered these degree of losses dont you think they've been exposed that numbers dont do it ?? The only thing they have that makes them brag is the nuclear weapon and you think NATO members dont have too? I put it to you, russia cannot fund fighting 3 countries at the same time....see the way they are sweating fighting just Ukraine...requesting for external volunteers to join them because russian soldiers are getting killed PUTINLY...he doesn't want to lose more russian soldiers. The economic heat will be too much that the war will start from russia. By time time the economy of the country crash ...Russians will start fighting him while he is fighting Ukraine....he is banking on China ?? China is not reliable here..Chinese product are not even reliable so you expect the country to? ..they wont joke with anything that will affect their economy in the name of loyalty. It's Russia against the world

Just to check - you are getting this insight and information on Russia's losses, political and economic status from?

goodheart01:
I

Are u sick or high?? Most of u Putin fans are so unintelligent and argue like morôns. They’re telling u that the nuclear warheads Russia has isn’t up to a collection of the whole NATO warheads and instead if u to do a research you’re spewing trash.

For your information Russia has a total of 6,065 nukes while the whole NATO has 6,255. So how is your assertion right??

You need to back your facts: https://questionanswer.io/who-made-nuclear-weapons-first/

The above is source that Russia has 6,255 nukes. US has 5,550. China has 350.

Worldwide total 13,080
Russia 6,255
USA 5,550
China 350

Ojukwu007:
Well said but why do you guys detest America so much? And quick to justify acts of terrorism, put sentiments aside and give me an honest answer.

On my part, I do not detest the United States. I detest their hypocritical behaviour. They are in my opinion far more dangerous to the world and have done far more damage to the world than Russia.

As a Nigerian, they have insulted us far more than the Russians have. From the suspected murder of Muritala Mohammed to the refusal to sell weapons to the Nigerian govt yet sleeping with Saudi Arabia to provide them weapons.

cardoctor:
I hooe this Putin doesnt end up like Osama Bn Laden, Ghafdaffi or Sadman Hussein.

Thanks for reminding us of some of the conflicts that certain nations have used. If not for Russia, the US would have effected regime change in Syria. If not for China and Russia, the US would have effected regime change in Koreas and Vietnam.

chronique:
In your opinion, does that depict a third tier army to you?

In my opinion, Ukraine's army is stronger than people are depicting them. However a lot of the same people are calling Russia's army weak. Some even believe NATO has a strong army - That is one reason why Trump was ranting - that NATO is relying on the US military to do the heavy pushing and he wanted to contribute even more for that reason.

US army is adjudged slightly stronger than Russia's. However in the top 10 - you only have UK and France.

For me this war is people's means to cause a world war which they believe is to their benefit. This should never have come to war.

Krismas:
I said WW3 has started. I don’t say it’s in full swing. Wen WW2 started America called it a mere European squabble. That’s how it is at first. In Ukraine now NATO is fighting a proxy war already. They feed the Ukrainians with satellite images of Russian positions, intel about Russian maneuver, weapons to take down Russian capabilities and sanctions to bug down Russia war funds, even troops pretending as volunteers and worst of all media propaganda witch-hunting all Russia’s purpose and activities in Ukraine. How else can they get involved before u believe they are involved?

I agree that we are close to such a situation and it is telling that it is these twats that have over spent on their military that are egging this on.

My insistence is that Africa must stay neutral! But then the zombies we have in office who have stored their stolen wealth in the West. Perhaps that explains one reason why China and Russia also starting playing around in Africa.

Africa must remain neutral. This is not like when we were colonised by these demons pretending to be sheep.

Jacopini:
Dis nuclear weapons u screaming about,na USA first develop am, so b calming down.

We no fit even treat common diseases na radio active waste we wan curtial,. U det shout nuclear weapon fr ur mind u dey Africa (protected), i laugh u.

You do realise that about half the world's nuclear weapons are in Russia. When you then factor in that Russia and China together hold more than 50% of the world and we have not factored in the mad man in North Korea who has been doing tests. You then realise that the Communist bloc of Russia, China and North Korea have sufficient weapons.

Where do you people hear all these stupid things you say on Nairaland? How is the Ukrainian army a third tier army? An army rated as the 22nd best military in the world and is one of the strongest and largest armies in Europe is what you call a third tier army? Are you guys aware Ukrainian is the second largest country in the whole of Europe after Russia?

You have a situation where Russia and China, no 2 and 3 in the world would most likely unite. Would you allow it to happen?

Remember BRICS, I doubt some do. I personally suspect that is what this conflict is about. Another BRICS nation, India is ranked no.4.

Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa are aligned economically on trying to overthrow the current western based economy system. Follow the money folks, follow the money.

PS Check the number of NATO countries in the top 10 - There are only 3. Of the BRICS nations, 4 of them are in the top 10. The worst i.e. South Africa is no. 26.

NATO is just using small Ukraine to deliver small small punches to Russia so that by the time the inevitable happens, Russian military would have been battered and demoralized. I still don't see a good end result for Russia in this.

You think Russia's army is as small as Nigeria?

The Russian Armed Forces are one of the world's largest military forces, with around a million active-duty personnel, which is the world's fifth-largest, and at least 2 million reserve personnel. It is mandatory for all male citizens aged 18–27 to be drafted for a year of service in the Armed Forces.

How many soldiers does Russia have active in Ukraine? And by the way, read the below.

Y'all smoking something supporting any conventional attack on Russia.

Mrtaye:
Ok Russia too will remain intact...lolz Russia weapon and tactics are archaic and obsolete

based on? A 5 second search shows the below site.

Do y'all just post without thinking or are you regurgitating the rubbish we hear on Western media?

Note that they are presently trying to convince us on an emotional level to support a future attack on Russia. None of them have mentioned by the way that Putin's Russia is firmly anti-LGBTQ.

Krismas:
Small Ukraine is backed by all the major European powers, America and NATO. They supply Ukraine with all amount of weapons and capabilities. They even codedly supply Ukraine with fighting men and as at last week, 20,000 mercenaries have crossed into Ukraine. Most of them ex-marines and peeps like black-water. All of them seasoned war contractors. Small Ukraine indeed. Russia is at war with the WORLD. WW3 has started.

There is no world war presently. Russia is at war with Ukraine. NATO is some European nations and the US. There was a brilliant analysis by a chap on Nairaland on Russia's aims in this war.

I am surprised that people are not testing the veracity of the 'news' made on western media and by western intelligence. These were the same people claiming that there was WMD in Iraq.

Africa should stay out of this. If WW3 starts, expect China to join in on Russia's side. That is a strong deterrent to NATO. North Korea will ensure South Korea stays in its zone to enable Russia focus on Europe. Africa must ensure that the idiots up North sort out their tribal squabble and remain neutral in this. Any country that has its president or ruler pick sides should have its people impeach the idiot.

Provision of arms to Ukraine is an escalation! If Nigeria had dared provide weapons to Libya during the Western countries' rape of Libya - would Nigeria not have joined the list? Does NATO want peace or does it want war?

wink2015:
THE SAME AMERICAN AND BRITAIN THAT REFUSE TO FIGHT FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF BIAFRA is now beating its chest to fight for non english speaking Ukraine.

Nnamdi Kanu work night and day to get the American government to force the Buhari government to hold referendum in the south eastern part of Nigeria for Independence of Biafra land yet the American government ignored their plea.

But they are busy loosing sleep over Ukraine.


THIS WORLD NO BALANCE AT ALL !

Ermm what value does Biafra provide? Is it Oyinbo people? You think you are like the white farmers in Zimbabwe?

Hanks0000:
Sounds ridiculous.

But it isn't.

Any foreigner that decides to invest in the UK, US and Canada from now on without an hidden plan B of getting their money out is an idiot.

I hope Nigeria's government is realising that it can do certain things and needs to now protect its local space. We must find ways to become more self reliant either by ourselves or in conjunction with our African brethren. Globalisation is dead!

That sky will be closed if the invasion escalates or if there are more casualties.


Putin is a coward, the only power he has right now is Nuclear weapon threat. his 85% troops can't even take down a neighboring country, under 15 days, too bad for him..


Ask Hitler how he did it, upon all his invasion in some many countries still he never used any nuclear weapon.

Now this coward is threatening with nuclear weapon over an existing slogan the west read out and made obvious hahah

Putin is a coward? Interesting, what cowardice is he showing?

ValCon888:
And a billion more can die if they close the sky.
Shooting down Russian planes will quickly escalate the situation and lead to nuclear intervention.
An invasion isn't the answer and a no-fly zone isn't an option. I don't know how there can't be a solution to this problem.

Easy he should start by declaring Ukraine neutral and leave Crimea alone.

If he said this then he needs to be slapped for generalisation. Because a few do it doesn't mean he should give it publicity. Does he think before talking?

Truth is the first casualty of war. I am firmly neutral. When they are done with themselves - they should let me know.

Now where is that cane...
