Venezuela? Crony of Russia? Dey dia dey mumu unasef. Someone mentioned Saudi, Iran etc like these countries mumu like una country. Why did Germany and US go to Russia to buy in the first place? Was it not because of OPEC's decision to tighten the noose on production in order to raise the prices? Why did EU accept Nord stream 2 that will allow Russia send oil to Germany? Trump told these EU fools that it would backfire and they didn't listen. You ppl should stop analysing nonsense. US and EU just screwed themselves over badly. Inflation in the US will enter and remain double digits for a long time if they don't reverse the course of Joe Biden.
phenase: AMERICANS DONT KNOW THAT IF RUSSIA IS NUKED TODAY, THE HIDDEN MACHINES WILL AUTOMATICALLY TAKE OVER, THIS WILL BE THE END OF THE WORLD. THEY SHOULD BE CAREFUL WITH RUSSIA. THEY DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT RUSSIA CAPABILITIES. THEY HAVE MORE THAN WHAT THE EYES CAN SEE
If Russia could test the Tsar Bomba in 1961 about 61 years ago imagine the weapons they have at their disposal now. That bomb sent shockwaves round the earth 3 times. If that is true then we are close to a nuclear armageddon. NATO had better stop this foolish game their playing. There won't be any winners when this is done. This is MADness. Mutually Assured Destruction-ness on a global scale.
Iyaebe: Rich men especially the African ones are never faithful when they become rich,they always make their women to ever regret standing by then in trying times
Maybe the rich men you know. I know rich men who stay by their wives and in those cases the women started with their men when they had nothing. You can find examples in Enoch Adeboye and his wife, Olukoya and his wife, Oyedepo and his wife...
Iyaebe: Your husband becomes very successful and takes a second wife or He remains broke and keep only you as his wife. Which of the options will you go for?
Marry a good man irrespective of his financial, economic or social status and he will be yours when he is broke and remain yours when he is rich.
Cheasystickylov: Hello all, please all I need is your candid advice. I do not think this is the time to ask me rhetorical questions. I would have answered all those questions before the end of the epistle. I do not sincerely if to quit my marriage or jut keep hoping that things will change in the nearest future. I dated my wife for three years before got married in 2006. I can say without exaggeration that it has been war, except occasionally when peace will just reign for a short period of time. Sadly I got a job in a multinational and we moved to Germany in 2014 and that just worsened everything. This made her to acquired more powers to do what ever she likes. My wife is someone that literally fights with every single person. During our dating, she exhibited so many of these characters. Despite all these red signs, I somehow just continued rather foolishly in the relationship hoping things will get better. This was not also helped by the pastor of our church who ensured that the relationship continued, he gave very many biblical examples including forgiving someone 7 times 77 times. I must also state that her mother was an elder in the church. So the action of the pastor is understandable. We eventually got married, and it has been sorry tears and blood. We were able to have 3 children, and the eldest is 11 years, the youngest is 7 years. My wife disrespects every single living thing I say, every one of them, she can insult me in public without giving a damn. I can not list all the scenario. Just to emphasize this point, her eldest brother and sisters have cautioned her many times , in my house and even when we visit them. To further emphasize, her eldest sister’s husband stop us from coming to his house because he said he can does not just bear the insults and the manner she disrespects me. We can not have a heart to heart discussion, she is always not ready, or when we talk she just tell me to summarize, or she ignores me completely. I have suggested counselling, however, she simply refused. We can stay in the house for months without talking to each other, I have and still has always been the one that tries to initiate peace. Sadly most times she doesn’t even listen and walk away. She keep male friends that I do not even have any real relationship with them, even if I try to caution her, she screams back. I have actually stopped trying to caution her, I just leave her alone with them. The latest now is a pastor who prays for her for the past 5 years, sadly the pastor and I have never had any conversation for all these years. I demanded for his number 2 years ago, she refused as usual, so I just allow her be. Of course their has been one or two case of suspected infidelity, initially when I asked she just ignored me and was even screaming. I gave her deadline of 5 days and she later cam to me to explain. Although there were still many grey areas.
The sad part is that, there is no single family member to even look into the matter 1.Her step brothers and sisters- they are not in talking terms. 2.Her mum- her mum dare not ! 3.Her uncle- She is not in talking terms with any of them 4.Her Aunt-the same story, not in talking terms with them
She does not really have any close per say, and occasionally attend church online. I wish does attend a physical church, her pastor would have been the next person that might probably look into it.
Sadly she believes every one of these people including me have a problem. She feels she is right and we are all just evil people.
I am so confused and frustrated. I do not know exactly what to do.
You married trial and tribulation brother. Your wife is under the influence of a lot of catastrophic spirits. Your wife needs deliverance. Serious deliverance ohh. Arguing, counselling, ignoring etc will do nothing ohh.
plaetton: My friend , get your facts right. I'm not sure hold you are, and unfortunately, the teaching of history is a taboo in this country. Since 1983 when some criminal soldiers arm-robbed their way into power, Nigeria was thrust into a trajectory desolation. Please go back and study the state of the nation in 1999 prior to the coming of OBJ. It was as confusing and hopeless as it is today. The OBJ era, looking at it from where Nigeria was and where Nigeria is today, was undoubtedly The GOLDEN ERA of leadership and governance in Nigeria ( going by the standards we have seen in our lifetime). Put your APC vs PDP sentiments aside. In my lifetime, it was the only era that middle class ( the standard measure of progress) expanded considerably . OBJ reorganized governance and established templates and standards for efficient governance going Forward.
What is this one saying. Golden era ko plastic era ni. Obj's regime was so corrupt that even his EFCC chief then confessed that the Obj regime was extremely corrupt. More corrupt that Abacha's ([url=https://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/09/corruption-obasanjo%E2%80%99s-eight-years-worse-than-abachas-ribadu/amp/]source[/url])
You said the middle class expanded considerably, how? Expanded in poverty? According to the CIA Factbook more than 70% of Nigerians lived below the poverty line in 2007 when Obj ended his brutal reign of economic and political terror (cited in source ). So tell me where you got your facts about the expansion of middle class? Despite 8 years of supposed reforms and oil revenue as at 2007 Nigeria still did not have what it took to withstand the shock from the financial crisis. While countries like China were able to buffer the crisis conveniently.
Where did all the oil money go? According to the Vanguard, "a breakdown of the earnings showed that from 1999 to 2003, the country’s gross earnings stood at N7.329 trillion, while net oil revenue stood at N4.713 trillion; gross oil revenue and net oil revenue from 2004 to 2007 stood at N17.868 trillion and N9.561 trillion respectively" (Source). Where did all the trillions of naira in earnings go. They were squandered by the Obj regime while NLC, ASUU, TUC and NUJ were all striking and while students were doing a 4 year course for 5 years and while ordinary Nigerians were struggling to make ends meet. Now this old fool has the enfrontery to lecture us on corruption when he himself is the grand daddy of corruption in Nigeria.
PJ123: I think you missed the point. While I'm not a fan of any Nigerian politician, I think you can objectively look at the message with little regard to his character or person. They're all failure all together. But the message is cogent and timely if we want to forge ahead as a nation. Nigeria is fast gravitating towards total collapse. People I never thought could leave their highly well paying jobs have all deserted the country. So the message is timely though the messenger may not be perfect.
No. We cannot look at this message with little regard to the messenger. Abacha's regime, as bad as it was described, was by far better for the poor Nigerians than Obj's regime. Obj started the "do or die" style of politics. Obj's regime set the foundation for corruption and avarice in the civilian regime (check Ribadu's classified comments leaked through wikileaks). Obj's eroded the standard of living for many because it was during his regime the price of everything started rising astronomically to suit the demands of his cronies. I remember buying a paint of garri for 60 naira in Abacha's era but Obj entered and boom paint of garri shot up to 200 naira. This same Obj raises the pump price of fuel several times. Why didn't Abacha raise the pump price of fuel as corrupt as Abacha was? Obj left the country to switzerland while NLC was on strike. Which leader does that? Your people are protesting the poor living standards and you travel to Europe. This same Obj said if people can buy beer for over a 100 naira they should be able to buy fuel at over a 100 naira. Do leaders talk like that? I can guess that Obj is the representative of the darkness in Nigeria. He supervised the destruction of Nigeria. What about the political assassinations during Obj's regime (Ayo Daramola, Harry, Agbeyegbe etc). Obj foisted GEJ on us and the mumu man handed Nigeria over to thieves and crooks who promptly milked the country dry. During this Obj's regime, innocent people were murdered in Odi and Zaki Ibiam on the orders of Obj. During this same Obj's regime planes were crashing like it was planned. Check before and after Obj's regime how many planes have crashed in Nigeria you will see that there was something off about the crashes during Obj's regime. What about the last three gifts Obj gave Nigerias before leaving office. That old fool raised VAT, sold our main refinery for peanuts and continued doling out billions to a dead NIPSS power project. I can never listen to anything Obj has to say. Obj is the devil that plunged Nigeria into the mess we are in today. Obj set the foundation for all the evils we see today in Nigeria. He should keep his virtue signaling to himself.
PrinceMajestic: Today Zelensky has been crying and blasting NATO since claiming NATO gives approval to the Russian attacks saying NATO is weak and incompetent, him and his foreign minister has been crying yelling at NATO that blood of Ukrainians is in NATO hands because NATO rejected his No-fly zone request. Zelensky has finally come to his senses now, I really pity him. It's now he realized how evil NATO can be
That is why you don't elect a clown as a president. That Zelensky is fool. So he wants NATO to declare Ukraine a no-fly zone. Like NATO didn't know that doing that is a declaration of war against Russia. They know Putin is not within their control and grasp and they know that one misguided move can start WW3.
Techsupport: One thing these fools on NL have never asked themselves is how Russia views Africa or the black man. Ask Nigerian students in Russia, they will tell you the horrors.
Oh the horrors, yet they school there! Are the students there to act horror movies or what?
Walkee: Meanwhile Zelensky is now drinking heavily after being abandoned by the West. The comedian thought he could win a war with lies and propaganda on Twitter and CNN
The idiot was hoping for a full scale conflict. The fool wants to plunge the world into another world war. War is bad even if it is for a just cause but when Western tyranny becomes law, Russian rebellion becomes a duty.
FalseProphet1: I see putin attacking Finland, I see the world reacting, I see WW3 kicking off, I see nuclear weapons and bombs dropping like knockouts, I see deaths, I see the male survivors inheriting the females and riches in Earth, I see bride price abolished in Nigeria.
ZIMDRILL: your responding like typical man, but i want you think deeper, if he doesnt send money for the kids, the kids will suffer or neglected that will damage the kids forever and that might also make the kids hate their father in the future
For me i would still send money for the kids and keep record, that record will rescue me in the event the mum lies to the kids that your father never helped
Whether separated or not we still have to play our role as parents providing for our kids whether divorced or separated. Most men wont look after thier kids after separation due to the fear that the mum might eat the money with a new man etc but you cant be the judge and jury how the mum will eat your money
But let time and records speak for you, time as in: in the long run time will tell who is a good parent. the records will prove your support incase mum lies to the kids
continue looking after your kids and dont rush to be proven right and dont give a woman excuses to poison your kids with negative comments about you as the father
Dont deprive your kids what their meant to enjoy and gain from u
No dude. It is better for the man not to sponsor the errant woman in the name of fending for the kids. If she can leave the house with the kids then she is responsible for the kids. Even if he sends millions for the children the woman will still demonize the man and claim it is her hardwork that is providing the money. He should not send her shishi. He is not divorced, that woman is still his wife and she therefore should return home for the sake of the children. The man should invest his money for the sake of the future of the kids.
I am 36years old. Many years ago after NYSC, I have no Juicy paying Job that can enable me to marry. I was in a relationship with Ugochi from when she was 20 until 28. Age was not on her side so I being a nobleman advised her to go ahead and marry one wealthy middle-aged man 41, that was asking for her hand in marriage.
The pressure to marry him was too much from her friends and family. I had no juicy Job, could barely eat, pay bills and have a chance to even drink and buy clothing.
I had to make sacrifices for her, so 5 days to her wedding, we agreed in unison to meet for farewell and farewell F@@k.With frustration and Heavy heart I ca..me deep inside her Four times. Gave her money for drugs (White quinine or postinor 2), she rejected it and promised to take care of it herself. I went to her wedding, eat, wished her well and left. Cried all night and moved on.
Her hubby took her to Abuja.
Now I have a good job. I am building my house and I have a car. I am extremely comfortable now.
I got a call earlier this year and it was Ugochi. She was desperate to see me. she travelled down to Lagos to see me. I wasn't comfortable so I talked her out of coming to my house. We met at an eatery and she came with one handsome little boy. I ordered Food for them and then my biggest fear came. She said her husband found out the baby is not his and sent her packing. She informed me the baby is mine.
I was shocked and I had to tell her I am squatting with someone, She and xxxxxxxx left for Imo State but before then, I denied and I argued, I went defensive.
The problem I have now is that I am planning my traditional wedding in August 2022 I have a presentable fiancee I love way too much.
Now, I can lie to the world but I can't lie to myself. That Little boy looks like me and has my pointed nose. Facially, it is glaring He is mine but I don't love Ugochi again, I have moved on. I love my fiancee so much.
How can I handle this situation?
When with a lot of frustration and heavy heart you loaded poor Ugochi's hole with your cumm you didn't consult the elders ohh...but now that you have bought market you are here seeking counsel. Dude confess your sins to your new fiance. Accept the child and raise him as yours. Face the consequences as a man and not a coward. If you are man enough to fill up the tank of a woman then you must be man enough to take the combustion that follows!
edunaragold: To be brief, happy Sunday everon ,indeed marriage is a blessing but has it's ups and downs, MY wife left to east angrily ,and without thinking the consequence of tomorrow, she left ignorantly as money no dey flow again somehow ,but am not saying she marries me for money sake OK,but she is impatience and ignorances,,but somebody somewhere may be remotting her as she has no dad,,now am all alone,this is a woman I paid all and married before white and traditional igbo marriage before touching her, so money were no longer flowing like before and we had ups and down, while the house rent increase skyrocketly and I decide to build my own house ,since then I have not know peace .pls ladies in the house,is it bad if become a young landlord, would not my wife be a young landlady too.
The problems is my wife thinks given her the money for business would be better than building. She sees me as a wicked man, she has relocated back and non of her families has called to ask what is going on,pls mothers ,and great men,was I wrong in building, or should I have taking that money to established my wife,knowing full well that once the house is half way ready I can get few tenenat to rent and use that money join another cash to support her business. The worst part is that I have stop building just to favour her ,I send few of my business profit to her while my uncomplicated building with things I have paid for still lies in the hands of the sells since 6 months now,only coming to repay my rent again.
(1) Pls should I stop sending her money ,so she will learn her lesson to be patience if owu done blow her,she may return with the kids ,and use that money to finish up the building in 5months,just a 2bedroom flat ,and 3 extra self con Or
(2) should I abandoned the building and keep sending her money at the other end,while I wash my plate,Cook by my self , wash my cloth, and still act as a gentleman ,and snurb the temptation of looking outside since she don't cares any more. And when a woman leave a man house without a good reason or violence, mothers and ladies we all know the wife has left an open doors for another woman .meanwhile another more beautiful lady is knocking and conjeee dey hold me each time ,bit I kept saying the devil you know is better than the angel one don't know .
Dude don't be a mumu. You are sending money to a woman that packed out of your house. She has left your jurisdiction. She is accountable and responsible for herself and the children now. Don't sponsor her stupidity by sending her money. If you keep sending the money to her you will plunge into poverty and she will ditch you last last if you do not recover financially. Finish that house. Put it up for rent. Invest in other businesses. The same leg she carry go outside she go carry am come house when she see wetin you don achieve. You be Igbo man na.
BluntTheApostle: A few weeks back, my niece brought a man to me and introduced him as the one she wishes to marry.
Her father died while she was about 15, and I have been the one taking care of her, through school and all. So, she sees me as her father.
Alright, so she brought this young man to me. I have nothing against him. He is finishing up a master's degree, and even though he is not into anything really specific (he is a hustler sort of a person, combining different jobs), I do not have a problem with that. He appears focused, and really hardworking.
However, the problem is that he does not have a place of his own, and does not appear to have any plans in that direction.
So, last week, I asked him a whole lot of questions, and it appears like he would be marrying my baby, and she would live with him in their family house. Other families living there include the man's aged parents, some uncles and aunties, and their children. He was not specific whether aunties or uncles included blood relations and their spouses. I didn't press him on that.
Now, I have also sat my niece down, and had a chat with her. She is only 20+ (would be 21 in June). I tried to be as neutral as possible, but I may have been too blunt sometimes because she has been defensive, including accusing me of not wanting to fund the wedding.
Her mother reasons with me, but the girl has become deaf. She doesn't want to listen.
My point is that the wedding can be put on hold till the young man makes a firm decision on accommodation. All this: "I will consider it; I am considering it; it is a part of my plan" is not conclusive at all, and I don't want her to go and start her married life under the same roof with so many people.
The man is 30 (although he looks older to me), and I am beginning to feel that he is manipulating her.
What do you think?
Which of you has experienced living in your husband's family house? How was the experience?
For me, I think of it just like living in a polygamous family, and it makes me uneasy because this girl is too young, and too fragile.
Your opinions and experiences are highly welcome.
It may be all that I would need to reach a decision concerning this knotty issue.
You know he is finishing up his Masters degree. You know he hustles a lot and is hardworking. You know he is lives in a family house...and nothing else!? Do you know who or what he is? Do you know his character? You claim he is focused. Focused on what exactly? We bother about money, house and job forgetting that a psychopath can easily meet these criteria. You need to peer deep to know who or what that man is before you hand over your niece to a serial killer, a ritualist, a fraudster or a narcissist. This is why prayers are necessary for the true intentions of the heart to be revealed.
The condition of a man's pocket can change overnight but the condition of a man's heart may remain unchanged forever.
Ask your niece about what it means to be a wife and who a husband is. If she doesn't know this then she cannot identify a husband and the man she brought home is just another boyfriend and she is just another fucktoy.
Ask your niece what plans she has for her life and how she thinks this man can help her. If she has no plan for her life she will easily be a rag in the marriage. When purpose is not known abuse is inevitable.
Ask your niece how she thinks she can support this man other than sex, cooking and housekeeping. If she cannot answer this question then in the marriage she will be no different from a fuckmate.
Finally ask your niece, has she heard from God about this man! If she doesn't hear from God at all then she is already in a ton of shit. Tossed about by clever words of flattery.
Lantycool: Pls I need advice from experienced married people. Can you allow your wife's elder sister that is divorced to live with you in the same house. What are the likely consequences and the merits
If my bedroom and sitting room and utilities are totally off limits to her then she can live with my family otherwise she can't.
Another Political Craziness...mandatory savings indeed. What is the essence of saving in a country where inflationary trends will be erode the value of the savings. Savings are only valuable when you intend to invest it and if the government isn't providing a conducive environment for investments then they should keep their mandatory savings to themselves!
mpire: Did Ukraine attack Russia? Now that I have shown your stup.idity by God destroyed Amaleks too without reason, this is the best you can come up with? You're a fool, how many minutes do you think it would take to wipe out Nigeria from the map? Why are most Nigerians on NL this st.upid? I definitely can't say there must be something in your water, you don't even have water. A brain dead, no electricity, no water, no good rood, no jobs, no security, no fire services, no 911, no fuel, no future Nigerian supporting Russia? You definitely deserve to perish in that shi.t hole. Ukraine will survive but you would still be in that shitthole of a country where you can't even vote.
Ukraine is siding with the enemies of Russia and so Russia invades. Just as the children and great grand children of Amalekites sided with their ancestors and got destroyed. If the Amalekites had turned to the LORD God their generation would have escaped that judgement. With all the brain you have you cannot see the similarities. I am not in support of the destruction of Ukraine but I detest the politics that the Ukrainian leaders are playing with the lives of Ukrainians. Dude e be like sey you either dey Ukraine now or you have relatives there. If that is the case then I sympathize with you but you must understand that if NATO had their free reign in Ukraine they will attempt to do to Russia what they did to Libya and other victims. Don't take this stuff too personal dude. Calm down.
mpire: When we introduce nuclear option? Alakori who are the we? Is your father Putin? you don't even have a Nigerian passport...lol. What makes you this re.tarded?
Guy wetin dey worry you na. I said "When we introduce nuclear options" in context na. Abi you dense ni.

...den don dey beg. If they like the should continue fighting. Shebi dey have offered civilians guns to fight a nuclear power and Naija e-warriors are cheering them on. One zircon missile is enough to bring peace sharply. Pikin wey never reach anywhere wey dey ask wetin kill im papa e go die im papa death last last!
When you hear, see, talk, please think and analyze. I am a historian and I know what you do not know and what I trained to know.
Sadly you still do not get the gist of the difference about the two occasions. Mockery unfortunately will not help you understand what is being said.
In my other response to you, if you were careful to read, you would have seen the word SECRET. Read it again. It was a political and military standoff in October 1962 over the installation of nuclear-armed Soviet missiles in Cuba, approximately 90 miles from U.S. shores, with Krushev as the Soviet leader.
“Cuba is a sovereign state..” as you said. But there was an ideological war then called THE COLD WAR raging among the super powers. The war was not fought directly but by proxies. Cuba was a Soviet proxy. The Americans reacted because the Soviets would gain an advantage over them in that axis and so ensured that they were dismantled. Why do you hear words like ICBMs (Intercontinental ballistic missiles). It is to bypass situations like this in the unlikely event of a breakout of war between superpowers. Why do the North Koreans seek long range missiles?
Now are they the same situations with the Ukrainian one now?
Do you at least understand it, young secondary school leaver?
Your most eminence and chief professor of all professors of history. Why didn't Kennedy simply accept that Cuba was a sovereign country and that Cuba could hold Russian missiles on Cuban land? You are evading the similarity between the two scenarios and hiding behind your argumentum ad verecundiam. If you like be professor of the history of heaven and earth combined, the two scenarios are cases of small sovereign nations being weaponized against a nuclear superpower. NATO is trying to weaponize Ukraine against Russia and Russia was trying to weaponize Cuba against the US during the Cold war. His eminence. I salute your professorial professorship profession but I humbly refuse to be convinced. You can convince your students in class but not me.
goodheart01: Shut your toilet mouth my friend. Him sey “When we introduce nuclear options” who are the WE. U dey for your one room ghetto dey claim WE. All these mugu for nairaland wey go borrow data come here dey yarn rubbish. As if Putin knows u or you’re part of they Russia war planning committee.
U think this is bet9ja when u claim any club and say we.
Iffa slap u ehn... kids everywhere
You are supremely idiotic my friend. Russia has put its nuclear forces on high alert. That single action is enough to send shivers down the spine of any rational person but I forgot that you shit out your brain earlier today before you came here to respond to my comment and now you are obviously reasoning with your arse.
zoedew: Ukraine as a sovereign State is entitled to pursue foreign policy directions that suits her interests. Russia is not entitled to invade Ukraine in pursuance of her foreign policy interests.
Oh! Okay! But NATO can send weapons to Libyan terrorists to oust and kill Ghaddafi and further the interests of the west, right? NATO can send weapons to terrorists in Syria to fight government forces, right? US can in the name of fighting international terrorists occupy Afghanistan, a sovereign country, for about 2 decades, right? How about Biden ordering a strike in Afghanistan, a sovereign country, that killed and aid worker and his children? Did you hold Biden accountable for this? Oh you just woke up today from 100 years of sleep to discover that Putin is not doing anything different from what the West have been doing for donkey years.
mauchiz: Putin is a hard man, God is not on his side, that is why he has caused men to favour Ukraine, how many countries are against Ukraine? How many countries are against Russia? You should learn how to discern things.
Putin feels he has everything, he has arrived, he feels he can fight the whole world, because he has all the fighting equipment, arms of flesh will fail men.
He should just withdraw from Ukraine
Oh so you know who has GOD's support? Interesting! I would like to ask does GOD support the US? Are you aware of the countless drone strikes by the Obama regime that killed women and children? Are you aware of the needless war that Bush fought in Iraq that ended the lives of countless women and children? Are you also aware of the children of the aid worker killed by the strike that was ordered by Biden in Afghanistan? Now tell me, is GOD on the side of the US? If you say YES, then whatever GOD you are referring to must also be in support of Putin because he is fighting for the interests of Russians just as the US does on foreign soil with countless casualties. If you say NO, then the US is evil and their relations with Ukraine through NATO must also be evil and evil must be fought anywhere it is. So technically you cannot use GOD to justify your stance against Putin.
Cantonese: There is no similarity between the Cuban missile crisis and the invasion of Ukraine by the irresponsible Putin please. Even if you are not a historian or a student of history, you can seek for information easily.
In 1962, the Soviets in the era of the Cold War secretly tried to instal nuclear missiles easily capable of getting into the mainland USA from Cuba under the late Fidel Castro (who had established communist rule in Cuba) and there was a standoff that lasted many days. The Soviets eventually dismantled them and there was peace.
After the collapse of the old USSR, Ukraine went it’s way and there was an effort to establish democratic governance. The Cold War era set many allies of the USSR back in terms of development. The USSR spent more money on military equipment/development and other infrastructures needed were affected. That was the same problem with their supporters. Eastern Germany for example was far behind Western Germany in terms of development because they were allies of the Soviets. The same today is the reality with North and South Korea. Ukraine wanted the democratic path.
Have you ever heard that NATO or the USA ever forced Ukraine to join with them? NO. It takes processes to join NATO. Ukraine is a sovereign country and reserves the right of association. Putin only gave his excuse. When the old USSR fell apart, Ukraine had the third largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world. They got guarantees from Russia and the west before denuclearization. If Ukraine retained its nuclear warheads, would Putin have dared to make that move?
Your Putin is a desperate and greedy man. His intention is not to safeguard that flank but expansionist. Uranium found in Ukraine will be useful to Russia if seized. He seized Crimea. He intends to invent a new era and let the world recognize his power. Now Russians will pay the price.
Why you people talk without doing your calculations is ridiculous. If Russia overruns Ukraine because Ukraine must not join NATO, what happens to Poland, Romania and Hungary who are neighbors and who are European NATO members? Will Russia even dare step a foot into any of those countries?
Russia under Putin had a choice of letting sleeping dogs lie. Putin wants to change the geopolitical situation of the world and he will not be allowed to succeed.
Wehdone sir. His eminence. Most outstanding and distinguished professor of history of the whole world. Why did US react militarily (quarantining Cuba using destroyers) when USSR planted offensive missiles in Cuba? Cuba is a sovereign state and can agree to receive weapons from any nation so why did the Kennedy administration respond militarily to the point that the world came close to a nuclear war. Dey dia dey deceive yaself. His most eminent outstanding and distinguished professor of the professors of history of the whole world past, present and future.
goodheart01: Oga go and sit down. U think this is about banning people on nairaland without reasonable reason. YenYenYenyYen
Even your robotic moderator mind didn’t tell u if any NATO ally joins the war physically it’s tantamount to a world war?
Why are they scared of world war? Are they not the ones destroying other countries? Look at Libya for example. Why are they scared of world war. Let them intervene physically.
Fcwilly: Go back and read the news very well, E U is not selling the weapons to Ukraine, they are providing it free of charge but they must let the press know the value of what they are providing for the sake of transparency.
Which transparency? All na propaganda. The EU is pushing Ukraine into extinction. They should keep it up. I only pity the Ukrainians. They are about to be refugees.
You're obviously the one without any knowledge. You imbecil.es supporting putin need to just go donate your brains at the nearest hospital because you're simply a waste of oxygen.
And on your ranting, you this thing, wants to question God Almighty? Who the heck are you again? To cure your ignorance, the Amalekites ambushed the children of Israel when they left Egypt, attacked them at Rephidim near Mount Sinai and God vowed to avenge. So you're saying it's God fault for dealing with you for attacking innocent people, who did nothing wrong to you? No wonder you're adorning putin. You're just another rambling idio.t on NL, you should shut up.
Just as God's destruction of the Amalekites was justified due to the decision of the leaders of Amalek so also Putin's invasion of Ukraine was justified due to the decisions of Ukrainian leaders who have refused to adopt a policy of neutrality. If US cannot allow Russia plant missiles in Cuba, a sovereign state, so also Russia should not allow US drag Ukraine, a sovereign state, into NATO. When it was US's turn they responded with military option and now that it is Putin's turn the response must also be a military option.

And God's revenge was to kill women, kill children and even kill livestock. Did the women, children and livestock that were killed participate in the ambush against the Isrealites? Was that warranted based on the same logic you use against Putin? Sense has left you since. You are just another certified prostitute of the west.
