This is the reason why so many countries/people are supporting Russia. The Ukrainians allowed themselves to be used as cannon fodder.

Cuban missile crisis comes to mind.

Exactly

To me, us is not to be blamed.... They are just fighting for their best interest, if Nigeria was a superpower in her position; we will do thesame. That's why they trained ukraine for 8 yrs, afghan for 20 yrs; they have the money, they follow capitalism if a few bucks has a possibility of solving my problem; I will very well do it. Same with socialism which builds relationships

If I understand you correctly it's like you are saying Nigeria will put Western Sahara at the mercy of morrocan invasion if it extends ECOWAS membership to it and we wouldn't careless about them but just put our interest as priority number one. I don't think we are that "Evil"

This is something people fail to keep understanding, look at us and vietnam war...... What make vietnam win?.... You think it was just that hot-blood or indomitable will; it accounted but not fully..... Soviets then helped them, you could even see soviets pilots and a lot of soviets weaponry which gave america is biggest stain till today. What I mean to say is to counter another big opponent, you need a big one to match him too; if not you will just be bulldozed over like in afghanistan and iran etc. Ukrainie had ran out of supplies and it's money from NATO and EU that is keeping their economy afloat; lets not even talk about weaponry etc which you can see that they have started to send any new weaponry to the frontlines immediately and we keep seeing evidences of their destruction. This alone supports my claim, nato is trying to play the same tactics of vietnam on russia and we will see how it goes;

As far as this war goes, all I can say is America is a hypocrite country.
They say they don't want war but keep on sending weapons to Ukraine. If these same military aid was given to terrorist affected countries, the so called "American led War on Terrorism" would have been history.
Based on my understanding the real deal is that the US doesn't want competition for the attribute of world super power so to prevent that they came up with the proposal of Ukraine joining NATO knowing that it would trigger response from Russia and it turns out Russia's response was the invasion of Ukraine. So instead of America to agree to Russia's terms of not expanding NATO to the East they incited Ukraine to go to war. Because of the inavsion everyone thinks Russia is the aggressor so sanctions are placed on Russia and military aid is extended to Ukraine. This is a strategy the Americans are using to destabilize Russia and they may do so China by using Taiwan.
Mind u America will do worse if Russia, China and Iran were to form a military alliance and Mexico was invited to join

After years of telling African countries not to build coal power plants and threatening them with sanctions Europe is now starting to use coal

I don't understand why African countries do whatever they are told by Europe instead of doing what is best for themselves - their people and economy

As in, it's so disappointing. I hope Nigeria's next president takes lessons from Xi Qingping and Vladimir Putin.

Even the Ah-1Z sef, I'm very skeptical about it. Of what use is 2 squadron of birds that can be shot down by the mood swings iof Mrs USA

Ohh My God

Let's hope for the best of equipment that's available

Omofaye99:
Words are flying around that Nigeria is getting a Frigate armed with both offensive and defensive missiles.





How true is this. kabe1

I'm thinking maybe the STM 2400 light frigate because a delegation from Defence headquarters had discussions with Turkey's STM defence industry on procurement of some equipments.
Who knows we might also get the STM light submarine.
