Dude, why do policemen have weapons? Ain't them meant to protect civilians
You are funny, let me quote a key parts of the resolution


(1)demands the immediate establishment of a ceasefire and a complete end to violence and all attacks against, and abuses of, civilians;

(2)imposes a no-fly zone over Libya;

(3)authorizes "all necessary measures [...] to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, including Benghazi, while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory";

(4)strengthens the arms embargo and particularly action against mercenaries, by allowing for forcible inspections of ships and planes;
imposes a ban on all Libyan-designated flights;

(5)imposes an asset freeze on assets owned by the Libyan authorities, and reaffirms that such assets should be used for the benefit of the Libyan people;
extends the travel ban and assets freeze of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1970 to a number of additional individuals and Libyan entities;

(6)establishes a panel of experts to monitor and promote sanctions implementation.


Key point 1 demanded a unilateral cease fire which Gaddafi refuse to,

Key point 2,, did you see were the UN authorised all "necessary measures"to protect civilians,
All necessary measures may include airstrike against Gaddafi pro forces attacking civilians
Was is the USA that removed Gaddafi, it's people removed him,after year's of slavery
Gaddafi a known supporter of terrorism.
Is either you are blinded by hate, Gaddafi repeatedly attack civilians, killed thousands, also his revolutionary guards also fired upon NATO jets enforcing the no fly zone.

There are no USA base in Libya,

Read on the legitimacy of NATO intervention in Yugoslavia,
Many are of the opinion that the intervention was necessary to stop the deliberate attempt to commit genocide against ethics Albanians.
the UN review of the issue is subjective doesn't hold water, did the UN general assemble not voted against Russia war in Ukraine is illegal, has that stopped mad man Putin,


NATO is and will always be a defence alliance,
Your opinion simply doesn't change
That doesn't mean it's has to wait till one member is attacked before it makes it move.
Let me quote article 1 of NATO charter

"The Parties undertake, as set forth in the Charter of the United Nations, to settle any international dispute in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations"


You can read from above that NATO ain't just formed to attend to members issues, but to Settle and intervene in international dispute, as approved by the United's Nations
So the intervention in Libya, Bosnian, Yugoslavia are consistent with the basis for which the organisation was formed.


.If NATO secretary general
Jens Stoltenberg during the last NATO general meeting calls the alliance the biggest defence alliance in the world, while the f**k will I care about your opinion.


Your inane vitriol against Russia still does not expain how this mandate fits into the attack of a convoy of a Nation's leader by drone and gleefully celebrating like savages "We came, we saw, he died"

Still can't explain how the UN ruled that the actions of NATO in Yugoslavia were illegal. Again your neigbour breeding leopards claiming they are for his protection. cheesy

NATO is a monster that has gone beyond the reason for it's formation and thank goodness the Russians have shown were the red lines are.

Like I said in my first write up about the Libya intervention, NATO was enforcing a UN Security council resolution,
You can verify it yourself.
Nigeria was also a non perment member of the UN security council at that time and it voted to support it,
NATO choose to enforced the resolution,
Try and Google the resolution and see it's cardinal points,
The united nationa voted and NATO choose to enforced it.
China, and Russia are permanent members they did not oppose the resolution.
Just to remind you that before NATO intervention in Libya, there was already a civil war going for year's.

On the Yugoslavia intervention, NATO was enforcing a no flight zone, but it's jets started coming under attacks by Yugoslavia Sams

The first USA military involvement in Somalia was as part of Unified Task Force UNITAF
This was in 1992 even Nigeria military men participated
Them also in the United's state's also participated during the UN led UNOSOM in 1995
Then after 9/11 the USA started bombing terrorists site in Somalia used by Al-Shabaab
Terrorist, who are also being sponsored by Alcadea
There is justification by the USA to attack terrorists cells, over 5000 Americans died after 9/11 attacks, if not for the USA war on terrorism and terrorism sponsors state, the world won't be as safe as it is.

My question is this how dose the USA military intervention the same as Russia barbaric invasion of Ukraine,
The USA invaded Afghanistan after 9/11 to remove the Taliban government who shelter and sponsored Osama bin Laden's, the intervention in Yugoslavia to stop the killing of ethnic Albanians, the intervention in Somalia to stop Mohamed Farrah Aidid who was killing his people,
Give me a reason why Putin attacked Ukraine?

So Resolution 1973 authorizing member states to take measures to protect Libyan civilians means regime change and use of drones to attack Ghaddafi as he escaped. Please clap for yourself grin Have the civilians been protected now? The overstepping of the mandate erodes the credibility of NATO.

So in essence what you are saying is Bleep the UN prosecutor review and investigation with subsequent statement about NATO's illegal aggression in Yugoslavia.

At the end of the day you just confimed that NATO is not a defence alliance. Hope you can read the charter and understand what it means. That is if you know what a defence alliance stands for.

I think you should read more about the NATO intervention in Bosnia intervention, NATO was only enforcing united nation resolution
They am were also enforcing a no flight zone resolution by the UN security council.
Note NATO was enforcing the no flights zone as mandated by the UN when a USA jet was shut down
Read about the "Srebrenica massacar"
We're over 7,000 civilians were killed by Bosnian Serbs that resulted in a meeting in London and brought NATO military involvement in Bosnia.

Stop saying what you do not know with confidence. lol
Below is an extract from Final Report by the UN Committee Established to Review the NATO Bombing Campaign Against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
"NATO’s resort to force was not authorized by the Security Council or in self-defence, that the resort to force was illegal and, consequently, all force"

obedience4:

NATO in Kosovo was because of the ethnic cleansing of Albanians and Yugoslavia refusal to sign the UN peace plan theRambouillet Agreement, led to NATO intervention
Although they didn't seem UN approval as the Bosnian intervention.

Interesting, very interesting. Your defence alliance does not need UN approval before bombing another country that is NOT a NATO
member....but Russia does. Anyway the final report by the UN comittee says it all or should we take your own personal report


obedience4:

NATO was never in Somalia, only the USA military intervene in Somalia, and this intervention was justified.

Really, Unilaterally bombing another nation is justified by US definition but Russian intervention in Ukraine is not justified by Russian definition. lol

Also article 5 was invoked after the 9/11 attacks in the USA
I will have to agree with you on this only although I did not include Afghanistan on my list.

Waiting patiently for your response on the reckless, offensive attack on Libya, regime change and total reduction of the country to failed state by Nato , the almighty defence alliance which destabilised sub saharan Africa by free flow of weapons.

NATO is a defensive alliance,
Russia has always been the most aggressive country in Europe,
Your point using the leopard illustration is flawed, Russia is the aggressor not the other way round
Ask your self what drove neutral Finland to NATO??
The senseless invasions of Ukraine made Finland a country that has been neutral for over a 100 year's( they were neutral during ww1amd ww2) to join a military alliance

I leave you now with a list to ponder on your " NATO is a defensive alliance blablabla" Now tell me from the list below where article 5 was invoked. Infact give me one example where article 5 was ever invoked with all the countless NATO operations in the World.

Bosnia and Herzegovina 1992
Kosovo-Montenegro-Serbia 1999
Somalia 2009
Libya 2011

What's is Russia business telling a sovereign country which organization to join, they're becoming a bully to all the small countries around, Finland never considered joining NATO until Russia invasion of Ukraine. Russia should be playing a big brother role like China and America rather than go around bullying small nations because they want to join NATO,.

What are they afraid of? When they should have created an organization dragging those small nations together and protecting them they rather want to annex them.

When your neighbour decides to rear leopards near your fence, hope you will repeat this nonsense when you start running from pillar to post to get him to remove the cats.

dangermouse:


Fair enough, but Ukraine has started producing some of their weapons by themselves. Russians are being supplied too by china, North Korea, and Iran.

World politics or not, the fact remains that Ukraine has exposed Russians military as weak and over hyped by beating them off and taking back territories they rook from them during the surprise invasion by Russia.

They are fighting now for mostly territories taken before the war.
Russia has never lost a war it started badly and never won a war it started well.

The Russians learn from errors and adapt quickly and that is the strength of the Russian army. They may have underrated the resolve of the West to get involved and thought the Ukrainian military will topple the government. Additionally they have so far refrained from using Netanyahu tactics as they believe Ukraine and Russia are one.

The Russian military industrial complex is churning out new or upgraded weapons at a speed that makes the west jittery. The Iranian shahed drone has been upgraded with jet engines and thermobaric war heads that even the Iranians are many years behind.

The US till date has not been able to deploy hypersonic missiles or even develop weapon systems to tackle them. Forget the propaganda of Ukraine shooting down Kinhzals. Experts have proven that it is mathematically impossible as they fly at 4,000mph while the patriot missiles max out at 1500mph. In rocket or missile technology, the West is light years behind Russia.

On Russia pulling out of territories, you need to look closely at their tactics which the West and Ukraine do not seem to fully grasp. They go on the offensive and when the enemy deploys a large force to pin them down, they withdraw and saturate that sector with drone/ artillery bombardments and deplete / wear down the enemy forces. They are masters in the war of attrition and Ukraine is doomed.

This war was fought on 3 different fronts: Financial, diplomatic and on the battle field. The west has already lost the Financial war ( Sanctions failed and it triggered dedollarisation now being touted by many countries), lost on the diplomatic front ( Russia rather being isolated has expanded is sphere of influence in the Middle East, Africa and Asia) .

Ukrainians and its huge active Western deniable troops aka volunteers or mercenaries are demoralised, out of funds, short on men and will not last another 1 year before they capitulate
The interesting fact is when this happens the whole world will see that Russia defeated NATO, a coalition of over 30 countries.

chopnaira:

And in your myopic way of thinking, you don't think the builders went with court order to demolish buildings. You need brain transplant if you think the government never gave warnings and got court orders for the demolition.

In this Lagos, you can't even sack a tenant that is owning house rent without some court order.
So the government went to court to get a court order to demolish and the owners did not get lawyers to challenge it or simply folded their arms and did nothing.

You are quick in your inferiority complex to post the report of a court of your so called saner clime but forgot to post the one from Lagos.

Your gutter intelligence permeates every fabric of the Nigerian society and government parastatals hence Nigeria will always remain a Republic where jungle justice prevails.

Post the one from Lagos or hide your empty head in shame.

I told one here in the UK, you already have the skilled worker visa that is a sure pathway to British citizenship, then he should be open to marrying a lady already here in the UK with her own papers, so none would accuse each other of being in the relationship because of papers.

Same Uncle, who when he was a Masters student was always yabbing that marrying a Nigerian woman and bringing her over to the UK is suicide mission, is now developing cold feet getting into a serious relationship and marrying one from the millions of women from different parts of the world living in the UK.....there is always an excuse! Marry a Nigerian lady based here in the UK....NO, because they are too liberated and there would be "power struggle" in the marriage! Marry an Asian lady, he came up with excuses.
