Russia's economy grew in 2021, even with sanctions. The new sanction is only preventing investment from US in those separatist region. China can invest, Other nations can invest. Only 2 regions alone....Really? Cripple?

The Russian economy was affected pretty badly by the sanctions...

The U.S. sanction would expand a technology export ban to include any goods made with U.S. components or software, as well as proposed sanctions against specific Russian billionaires. But sanctions experts say more than any other measure, aggressive action against Russia's state banks would hit its economy the hardest..


Proposed sanctions against Russian banks would bar them from making any transactions in U.S. dollars, essentially freezing any dollar-denominated assets or liabilities held by the banks at home and abroad..
You think that won't affect their economy badly?let me keep laughing..

1. I didn't tell you that Russia will survive a fight with NATO and that is because NATO is nothing but a team of countries protecting each other. This simply means Russia fighting a combination of US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain and more all put together.
2. I also told you that aside this marriage of states of nations called NATO, if faced in one on one fight, Russia will not fear any of them except US. And even the US, they will match them.
3. Without also the influence of US on NATO, Russia does not see anything in NATO, infact, Russia knows that NATO is US and nothing more.
4. Putin does not remove the possibility of invoking nuclear war heads if it comes to that and you know that without that, then war is nothing but people shooting guns one to another.

The same thing the US refused from happening in Cuba is what they want Russia to accept in Ukraine. Putin is stubborn, a dictator, and the Russian people are not happy but they will prefer to be hungry than allow US at their backyard. The current issue have even united Oppositions in Russia. I have 2 Russian classmates, though they hate to return to Russia however, they don't want to hear anything US.

The bolded.. aptly put..
Note Putin wouldn't make the unwise mistake if invading those country you mentioned earlier on..they know how terrible it will turn out for them..looks like some game of talent showcase..

Trentee4eva:
I guess you are ignorant of Russia’s nuclear arsenals. Putin already stated that in a war with NATO, Russia will deploy it's nuclear weapons promptly. Browse about Russia’s new hypersonic weapons Zircon and Kinzal. Not to mention Sarmat and Icekinder missiles. 1 sarmat each will take care of France and the UK.

Putin always stated haha..
No one is disputing the fact that the have dangerous weapons aiit..
Russian propaganda emphasizes the size and power of Russian military to people like you...

But experts understand that while Russia spends and unusually large amount of their GDP as compared to US , their GDP is a small fraction of US and smaller than the major EU countries (Germany, France and UK. These experts agree that Russia’s military is certainly #2 in the world, but in a conflict with any Western country most of who are members of NATO, they would be up again forces far larger than they could ever muster, so these conflicts are unlikely to occur..

Against any other country in their home region they are greatly superior..

Imagine..the so called Christians are always trying to shove their nonsense on everyone..what makes them think their religion is better than others..

All religious person are all the same cos the moment you believe there is an imaginary creature then you need proper checking..

Well to be sincere he shouldn't have done that when he knows Nigeria is a lawless country that attaches nonsense to religion and it's fictional books..

If you go to any other planet and introduce yourself as you are from Earth and belong to this religion. The aliens(pun) will laugh at you. Does Humans need a religion to just live peacefully together? No..
Religion is nothing but a disaster and I keep wondering why Nigerians will never think rather they keep believing this imaginary creature up there..
Y'all imaginary creature must be a clown to sit on his imaginary thrown and watch all these nonsense go on all on the name of judgement day is coming..
Clowns..

Haha Nigerians and their uncultured attitude..are they really military men or just some random boys who feel it's cool to flaunt that stuff?

Homiesjinxbank:
Russia has its own way of life...

What way of life?

mrphysics:
I forgot to add @FERNANDEZISBACK, when in 2 years back, US refused China from joining the ISS, China built theirs and launched to the space and will within the year or next year launch the first human to their own International Space Station.

My point is, Russia and China are moving towards independence as they move towards over coming America in terms of military. These countries devote more finance in building military weapon and training their soldiers than they do in trying to boost their economy. Russians as not as happy or as free as Americans, however, they have complete loyalty to their countries.

So let's stop underestimating them bro, unless EU, NATO, or US gives Russia evidence in writing that Ukraine will NEVER join NATO, invading Ukraine might be a foregone conclusion.

No one is underestimating them but judging by their military capability they are in no match to survive a full blown war against NATO..

For anyone who has some knowledge on military issues,the question should have been if Russia has any chance to stand against NATO for more than a week.

We don't live in 1942 where comrade Stalin orders the slaves to work non stop and produce 80.000 T 34 tanks. It wouldn't be any good even if Russians had a million tanks. That's the reason they're not producing in quantity T 14 Armata. In modern warfare the key to victory is air superiority. That's a field where Russians lack behind 30 - 40 years in technology,at least. They had to get targeting pods for their jets and thermal vision for their tanks from France...
Another thing is how long can they keep fighting when they are still struggling with their economy..
Pu*tin is considerate and wouldn't wanna engage himself in a war against NATO or USA.. casualties from both sides especially Russia is gonna be fatal..

King azubuike is a female?

BigBashiru:
Your analysis is not correct but let's not argue. Africa Russia trade and relations has been growing steadily so much so that the west are jealous.

Ok

techWriter3:
In the interim, having an ally (Eastern Ukraine) as a neighbour, and not one that can join NATO at anytime. Later, they can attempt to annex the whole Ukraine, if "most Ukrainians" want to secede from Ukraine.

That doesn't change the fact that invading Ukraine might not go well for pu**t*n..
Now, if you’re talking about a full-fledged invasion of the country, no. Russia already has an idea of how expensive wars can get - after all, it’s watched America pay the price for its involvement in the Middle East, and Russia is spending billions on keeping Donbass stable.

It’s very expensive, and for a country that’s trying to improve on its economy, that’s a no-go.

It would be particularly expensive, since Ukraine isn’t completely defenseless in terms of its armed forces.
So, a full-fledged invasion? Probably no. That’s just too risky... and in case he does he's gonna feel the pain..

ViperAda:
Ukraine can't singlehandedly hurt a fly in Moscow, little kid.
There's a difference between Ukraine without the backing of NATO and a NATO backed Ukraine.
Maybe when you grow up you'd have a better idea.

-Viper

Sssh little boy and listen..no one's talking about NATO intervention or not...
Ukraine is capable of causing the Russian invader harm, probably not stop the invasion.

The terrain is hard to defend. And the manpower amassed by Russia is overwhelming. Russia won’t repeat their mistakes from the Winter War...
You speak like someone who is clueless..no matter how strong Russia is there is still gonna be some damage and casualties inflicted by the opposition.. simple my point.
Well you are still growing and learning so your ignorance is understood..

Mase2020g:
I nor understand wetin u talk

But I agree

Haha..

techWriter3:
Okay, but imagine what they stand to benefit relative to that of Ukraine's; and you would realise that their potential loss is minute.

What do they stand to benefit?

ViperAda:
Does Ukraine has the capacities?
How about Russia's invasion of Crimea which was the smoothest invasion of modern times.
All these NL kids sef.

-Viper

Baby boy no one is disputing the strength of Russia against Ukraine just have it in mind that they won't be leaving without some damages on their side..

And who came up with this notion?
Haha you just picked a single occurrence in your life or whatever and use it to generalise all women..sounds petty..

If that's how the women around you act then that's your problem deal with it..same way all men ain't rapist..it's just like me saying cos a man raped someone then all men are born to be rapist..
How does that sound tho? unintelligent right?

All these useless anakysis ... how do they benefit Nigeria?

Your president can learn from it so as to defeat the insurgency eating your country up..

We live in a cunny world...you that's not from Nig

But Nigeria is worse you know..

techWriter3:
How would Russia lose? Remember "Ukrainians" are the ones fighting themselves on Ukraine soil , and they cant match the firepower of Russia.

Loss is different from casualties..
The Russians are also likely to come up with casualties even tho they successfully invade Ukraine..

showafrica:
In other words training don't matter?

Point out where I said that..

Mhykel217:
noo make we no point finger na bcuz na we worse pass??

I can't imagine a country that commit dangerous crimes home and abroad..a country that believe In ritual killing nonsense pointing fingers at another country..

Nigerians are too cunny why is it that way?what's going on in your country on a daily basis?

You guys have done worse than this but you are here pointing fingers at your fellow partner in crime..

techWriter3:
I pity Ukraine -- regardless of the outcome this, they will still suffer.

Both sides..
As a matter of fact all party involved..

God1000:
friend, I never knew you can debate well on politics and internationa affairs because you always talk about relationships, good one and keep it up

Thank you Mr God..

Mhykel217:
no country is. But i bet u those parts are worse cuz they do the weirdest nd dumbest shit

Really..?
Look at Nigerians pointing fingers tho..

showafrica:
My brother forget there is a big difference between a child who is trained well and one who is not . Forget the current state of Christianity. A well trained child won't kill his mother.

Forget training..he made the choice to be what he is...
No matter how much you train em in the way of your lord..what he wants to do is what he will do..
Or are there no case of pastor kids commiting horrendous crime?

Mhykel217:
BS news be coming from this country on a steady sha like deir Zimbabwe counterpart

And is Nigeria in any way Better?

showafrica:
Mkpuru miri at work. Train your children the way of the lord, when he grows up he is not gonna depart from it, una no go hear.

What if he was a Christian and was trained in the ways of your lord?
There are many Christians that were trained in the way of their lord but still commit horrible crimes..
This has nothing to do with religion..

You will soon grow up..m

If that's what you want for yourself great..the fact that you focus is also great..
Hope you get to achieve your heart desires..

olas24u:
sanctions can only work with weak countries without human capital and technology, Russia is not a land locked country.

Ok..

olas24u:
Putin and Xi once discussed one of their key themes in bilaterals and BRICS meetings: the need to keep increasing the share of the yuan and ruble in mutual settlements – bypassing the US dollar – and opening new stock market avenues for Russian and Chinese investors.

Ok..
Enjoy your ignorance..
Since you don't have evidence to back up your claims then enjoy..
What's the point in arguing with someone who doesn't understand how sanction works and it's effects..

He should thread carefully cos he's going beyond bounds..
This man really takes himself as what exactly?
