Before the SMO in Ukraine started Russians tried to talk with the West and Ukraine.

For days they were trying to explain to Western side why constant shelling of civilians in Donbass, for the last 8 years, needs to stop. Explaining why Ukraine in NATO is red line. Explaining why they don't want the US missile systems, that can hit Moscow in 5 minutes, in Ukraine. Explaining why nuclear weapons on the territory of Ukraine are unacceptable.
It's a video i don't know how to share the video posted by Jovanovich
As Lavrov said after talks "it all fell on deaf ears".

Humiliation, threats and disrespect is all that West offered to Russia. There will be no negotiations or talks anymore. From Russian perspective they are pointless.

Threats were serious and Russia understood it.

Putin’s answer now is "it's not a bluff".

And it's not, this was pulled out from hangars last night on multiple launch locations in Russia.

Russians are done talking with deaf ears.

Since the world war two America has only invaded third world countries Iraq,Afghanistan,Libya,Syria etc and was lastly disgraced out of Afghanistan,the countries America invaded did not use state of the art weapons like long range missiles,they did not use advanced tanks,stingers rockets ,they did not use Himars, these countries America invaded were just using Ak47 and rocket launchers and were reduced to guerrilla fighters,and worst of it America fought all her wars with her western allies,she has never fought alone.

Russia singlehanded invade Ukraine alone without allies,despite heavy western support Ukraine enjoyed they were still able to sieze 30% of Ukrainian land. give it to Russia the great bear they are masters if warfare.
Russia did not envade Ukraine
Its just a special military operation, 150k soldiers vs 1million army + NATO and EU merchineries

Kingsley10000:
Counterattack on Russian-held
territory in southern Ukraine has
succeeded in wrestling back
towns from Moscow’s troops,
president says.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy claimed a series of
battlefield successes during his
forces’ counteroffensive against
Russian troops in the occupied
southern region of Kherson.
Zelenskyy thanked soldiers for
taking two settlements in the
south along with additional
territory in the east, citing “good
reports” from his military
commanders and intelligence
chief.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head
of the president’s office, posted
an image of troops on Sunday
raising the Ukrainian flag over a
village he said was in the south,
which is the main focus of the
counterattack.
“Vysokopillya. Kherson region.
Ukraine. Today,” Tymoshenko
wrote on Facebook over a
photograph of three soldiers on
rooftops, one of them fixing a
Ukrainian flag.
‘Starve the Russians’
Ukraine began the counteroffensive
last week, targeting the south,
particularly the Kherson region,
which Russia seized early in the
conflict.
After Ukrainian forces’ intense
shelling of clusters of Russian
troops in the region, the Russians
banned the movement of residents,
the Ukrainian military said on
Monday.
“The Ukrainian counteroffensive is
making verifiable progress in the
south and the east,” said the
Institute for the Study of War, a
Washington, DC-based think-tank.
“The pace of the counteroffensive
will likely change dramatically from
day to day as Ukrainian forces
work to starve the Russians of
necessary supplies, disrupt their
command and control, and weaken
their morale even as
counteroffensive ground assaults
continue.”
Ukrainian Telegram channels
reported explosions at the
Antonivsky bridge near the city of
Kherson, occupied by Russian
forces.
Ukrainian missiles have severely
damaged the bridge over the past
weeks, but Russian troops were
trying to repair it or set up a
pontoon crossing or barges to
maintain supplies to their units.
The Russia-appointed
administration of the Kherson
region confirmed on Monday the
bridge had been seriously
damaged by Ukraine shelling and it
was closed to traffic.
Plans for a referendum on
Kherson joining Russia had been
“paused” because of the security
situation, Russian state-owned
news agency TASS quoted Kirill
Stremousov, deputy head of the
administration, as saying.
Russian-installed officials
previously suggested referendums
on joining Russia would be held in
September in Kherson, as well as
in the neighbouring Zaporizhzhia
region and the self-proclaimed
Donetsk and Luhansk People’s
Republics, to coincide with local
elections in Russia.
it is very difficult to do because Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe after Russia, and again Ukraine is bordered by many NATO countries ok, its impossible, unless if you want nuclear world war3
Christianity EtcRe: Jesus Will Not Return Until These Things Happen by greatness77: 5:51pm On Sep 11, 2022
OkCornel:
Over the centuries, there have been numerous predictions on the second coming of Christ by “powerful MoGs” and acclaimed Biblical scholars which have all failed.

Even on nairaland, we have heard countless times since the platform was created that “the end of time is near and Jesus could arrive at any moment”

I can’t help but wonder why certain scriptures are ignored.

Let us set the ball rolling with a few critical signs believers should watch out for, and also address certain fallacies.

Matthew 24 shows two key signs believers should watch out for. Until these are fulfilled, we and the generations after are still in for a long wait.

First of all, let’s highlight where the confusion lies. Most people mistake the signs for the beginning of birth pains (wars, famines, earthquakes, disasters) as signs for the end time. Read the passage below carefully;



Moving on from these verses which clearly are not the signs to look out for. What then are these signs?



It’s clearly written in verse 14 and 15 the two trigger events that must be fulfilled before the second coming;

1. In verse 14. Not just any gospel, but specifically THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM must be preached to all inhabitants of the earth. This is to prepare the hearts and mind of men for the everlasting order to come. Ever wondered why Jesus’ major sermons and parables is centred around the kingdom of heaven? Can we confidently say this is the gospel the church has preached consistently over the ages?

2. The abomination that causes desolation must be set up in the holy place. Now this one is the interesting part. People have weighed in that this prophecy is already fulfilled in 70 AD when the Romans destroyed the second Jewish temple.

The problem with that conclusion is this. See

There is no historical record of any Roman emperor who made a covenant with many for 7 years and broke it mid-way (especially around 70 AD when the temple was destroyed)

Furthermore, Apostle Paul weighed in on this matter;



Bear in mind there will be a temple of God where this man of lawlessness will proclaim himself to be God. Please where is this temple today? It doesn’t exist. It’s yet to be constructed!

Apostle Paul mentioned we should not be alarmed or unsettled. No one should deceive anyone about the coming of the Lord. It cannot happen until the lawless one is revealed and the temple (which is yet to be constructed) is desecrated and the abomination that causes desolation is set up inside the temple.

If you are up to date on religious matters in Israel, it should come as no surprise there are talks of the third Jewish temple to be constructed.

The main Jewish group leading the charge to rebuild the temple is an organization called Faithful of the Temple Mount, who say they will continue their efforts to re-establish the Jewish temple on the Mount. In Israel, there are students being trained for the priesthood, learning how to conduct animal sacrifices in the rebuilt temple.

IN CONCLUSION;
Until these two events are fulfilled:
1. The gospel of the kingdom is preached to all inhabitants of the earth.

2. The temple is rebuilt, daily sacrifices are restored for a time and subsequently stopped by the man of lawlessness to set up the abomination that causes desolation which prophet Daniel, Jesus and Apostle Paul spoke of.

We cannot jump to the phase where we hold our breathe in anticipation of the return of the Son of Man. Pretty much explains the long wait for over 2000 years now, and why any talks of the world coming to an end is still premature.


Till then, live a spirit filled life and walk in the purpose of the I AM for your life!

Foreign AffairsErdogan Calls Weapons Supplied To Ukraine 'scrap Metal' by greatness77(op): 8:11pm On Sep 07, 2022
6:19 pm, September 7, 2022
Source: Anadolu
Turkish president Recep Erdogan and Serbian president Alexander Buchich condemned Western policy toward Russia at a press conference in Belgrade. Erdogan called the West’s actions “provocation on all sides” and arms sent to Ukraine “trash,” according to Turkish news agency Anadolu.

Erdogan said the West’s position is mistaken and designed to provoke: “They declare their military support. But how many weapons sent to Ukraine are cast offs and scrap in the West? Can we say right now that one side is winning? No! In this war there is no victor but many losers. Large numbers of people are dying, and it's unseemly to talk about the financial side of it.”

Erdogan also mentioned the European energy crisis, wondering why leaders hadn’t planned ahead for the winter months, knowing that prices would skyrocket when Russia cut off supplies of natural gas.

Alexander Buchich agreed that the coming months will be very difficult for EU countries. TASS quoted the Serbian president saying that “this winter will be very cold in Europe, and the next one will be polar. Nobody is seeking a resolution, everyone expects the enemy to be defeated, rather than a compromise. If you really think it will be easy to serve Russia a military defeat, then we’ll just have to prepare for a cold and a polar winter.”

Foreign AffairsTaiwan Downs Suspected Chinese Civilian Drone In Latest Confrontation by greatness77(op): 10:19am On Sep 01, 2022
The Taiwanese military shot down an “unidentified drone” on Thursday that was spotted flying over Lion islet in Kinmen, the first time after days of drone incursions from China.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), believed to be non-military, was detected just after noon in the restricted area over the islet, the Kinmen Defense Command said in a statement.

Stationed soldiers fired warning shots but the drone did not fly away, and they took the decision to shoot it down, the Command said, adding that the drone fell into the sea.

“About time we shot those drones down,” said Timothy Tsai, a Kinmen resident who heads a local military history group.

“They were laughing at us,” Tsai said, adding he was quite certain the downed drone was from China.

“Hopefully from now on the drone owners will think twice before sending them this way,” he said.

Taiwan’s Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday that the military will begin shooting down Chinese drones that intrude into the airspace of its outlying islands.

A Ukrainian soldier serving near Chernobyl but who has also served in the Donbas wrote a reflection on death for the NYT.

Artem Chekh said that the scale of death in Russia's war is worse than anything he saw in the Donbas years earlier.

Chekh served in a conflict against Kremlin-backed rebels in the Donbas that began in 2014.

A Ukrainian soldier serving in the Chernobyl exclusion zone wrote in an op-ed for the New York Times that Russia's unprovoked war against his country has led to "catastrophic" losses.
Artem Chekh previously served in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region from 2015 to 2016, fighting in a conflict against Kremlin-backed rebels that began in 2014 — the same year that Russia illegally annexed Crimea. Chekh said Russia's war in Ukraine, which started in late February, is worse than anything he saw on the front lines in terms of the sheer number of deaths.
"I used to think I had seen enough deaths in my life. I served on the front line in the Donbas for almost a year in 2015-16, and I witnessed numerous tragedies. But in those days the scale of losses was completely different, at least where I was," Chekh wrote, adding, "This is another kind of war, and the losses are, without exaggeration, catastrophic."

"We no longer know the names of all the dead: There are dozens of them every day. Ukrainians constantly mourn those lost; there are rows of closed coffins in the central squares of relatively calm cities across the country. Closed coffins are the terrible reality of this cruel, bloody and seemingly endless war," he added

Foreign AffairsOver 1000 Ukrainian Soldiers Liquidated In A Failed Second Wave Couner Offensive by greatness77(op): 3:25pm On Aug 30, 2022

“While repelling the Ukrainian attack, the Russian forces defeated units of the single Mountain Offensive 128th Brigade of the Ukrainian Forces, transferred to participate in operation from the west of Ukraine, and five soldiers of this brigade laid down their weapons and surrendered”, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a press briefing Tuesday .

“The strikes with ground-based precision weapons targeted, in the village of Alexandrovka in the Dnipropetrovsk region, a temporary deployment point, ammunition depot for the 1st Tank Brigade of the Ukrainian forces, with more than 200 soldiers were eliminated, including about 40 foreign mercenaries”, Konashenkov went on to say.

Taiwan threatens to shoot down Chinese drones following further incursions

Screenshot from video posted on Twitter
Taiwan’s military will begin shooting down Chinese drones that intrude into the airspace of its outlying islands, the defense ministry in Taipei announced, while a White House National Security Council spokesman said the U.S. “will not accept” the new normal imposed by China in the Taiwan Strait.

Since mid-August, a number of civilian drones have been spotted flying over the outlying island of Kinmen, 180 kilometers (112 miles) from Taiwan’s main island but less than 10 kilometers (6 miles) from China.

On one occasion, on Aug. 16, two Taiwanese soldiers wearing masks were seen throwing rocks at a Chinese drone when it was flying above their military post.

The Kinmen Defense Command said two other Chinese drones were detected at Little Kinmen (Lieyu) island and nearby Lion (Shi) islet on Saturday and Monday respectively. The one that passed over Lion islet at around 4 p.m. was flying very low, only 30 meters from the ground, it said.

According to a statement on dealing with intruding drones from the Command on Sunday, troops are instructed to follow the procedure of "firing warning flares, reporting the incursion, expelling the drone, and ultimately shooting it down."

‘Uninvited thieves’

After the video clip from Aug. 16, deemed “highly embarrassing” by viewers, was posted on Chinese microblogging site Weibo, the Taiwanese defense ministry said a national drone defense system would be set up by 2023 and priority would be given to outer islands such as Kinmen.

While operating it, soldiers and officers “will continue to follow the principle of 'not to provoke conflicts and not to cause disputes' and will use technological equipment to take appropriate countermeasures,” the ministry said last Thursday.

The public has however called for more resolute measures.

“Regardless of whether the drone is civilian or military, as long as it enters the sensitive airspace, the army should first try to drive it away,” said Qi Leyi, a Taipei-based military analyst and commentator for RFA Mandarin.

“If that has no effect, the drone should be shot down,” Qi said.

The Chinese government has not said much about the drone incidents. When asked at a regular press briefing on Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry’s spokesman Zhao Lijian confirmed that he too has seen the videos.

“Chinese drones flying over China’s territory — what’s there to be surprised at?” Zhao said.

His comment provoked a furious response from the Taiwanese Foreign Ministry.

"There is an ancient Chinese teaching that 'uninvited people are called thieves',” it said in a statement.

“Whether it is breaking through the door or peeping from the air, the people of Taiwan do not welcome such thieves," the ministry said, accusing the Chinese Communist Party of being a “regional troublemaker” that has made “harassing other countries a daily routine.”

China ‘trying to turn up the temperature’

When asked about the Chinese drone incidents, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby declined to confirm them but said that Beijing continued to try to set a "new normal" for its activities toward Taiwan, Reuters reported.

The activities include sailing ships and flying aircraft across the unofficial median line in the Taiwan Strait.

"They're trying to turn up the temperature to a degree where it becomes sort of this new normal. We're not going to accept it," Kirby was quoted as saying.

In a possible tit-for-tat response by America for Chinese incursions, a Taiwanese media outlet said that unidentified U.S. military aircraft flew into China’s airspace on Aug. 28 and Aug. 29.

Liberty Times reported on Monday that the aircraft entered China’s airspace adjacent to Taiwan on two consecutive days after crossing Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ).

An ADIZ is an area where foreign aircraft are tracked and identified before further entering into a country's airspace.

The newspaper said in the latest incident, that took place at around 8 a.m. on Monday, an unidentified U.S. aircraft was approaching Chinese airspace east of the Taiwan Strait when it received several warnings from the Chinese Air Force and eventually left after a brief entrance.

The news could not be verified as of Tuesday morning.

On Sunday two U.S. Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers, the USS Antietam and USS Chancellorsville, made a “routine” transit through the Taiwan Strait.

Since the beginning of this year, American warships have conducted Taiwan Strait transits every month, apart from June when the U.S. Navy sent a P-8A Poseidon reconnaissance airplane through the Strait on June 24 instead.

The Biden administration plans to ask the U.S. Congress to approve an estimated $1.1 billion arms sale to Taiwan amid increasing tensions with China, according to Politico, a media website.

The arms sale would include 60 anti-ship missiles and 100 air-to-air missiles, Politico reported

Foreign Affairs60% Of HIMARS Wiped Out, Pro-ukrainian Source Says by greatness77(op): 6:17pm On Aug 29, 2022
In his analysis published in Telegram, the author of the material also says that the strategy of the Ukrainian troops was initially to move the HIMARS every 12 hours. Different locations, unrelated to each other, were used. Ukraine has also avoided locating a group of systems in one place, but “each separate system in a separate place”. However, Moscow has monitored these activities without taking action. In this way, the Ukrainian armed forces were left with the impression that they had managed to fool Russian military intelligence.

At some point, the Ukrainian armed forces began grouping more than one HIMARS system at one location, and then the Russian armed forces struck them. Legitimney also says: “Now the KHIMARS are few and far between, not as much as they used to be, so there is not as much ‘noise’, and the General Staff no longer publishes pictures of them, realizing that the Russians are yet to try to destroy them all.”

“In addition, the Russians partially changed the tactics of deploying warehouses and strengthened air defense. Of course, the VSU [Armed Forces of Ukraine – ed.] sometimes manages to break through the defenses and inflict damage, but not much,” says Legitimney in its analysis.

Antonovsky bridge
The Telegram channel Legitimney makes an interesting analysis of the Antonovsky Bridge, defining the Ukrainian operation to bomb it as a failure. “All the military consider the case of the Antonovsky bridge a failure. After a month and a half of constant attacks, the bridge is standing, many missiles and forces have been expended, and the Russians have not lost the transport artery with the other side of the Dnieper,” the analysis says.

According to Legitimney, this case is only for PR and creating “noise” to distract the masses, but in strategic military terms, it is a failure.

Russia says
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation says in a press release about its military actions on July 17 that in the region of Krasnoarmeysk, Donetsk, a high-precision missile destroyed one of the M142 HIMARS missile launchers delivered to the Ukrainian armed forces.

The Ministry of Defense released a drone video showing the launch of the precise strike missile, as well as the deployment of at least one HIMARS unit, but not the destruction of the missile system. I.e. from information available through open sources, it can be claimed that the Russian Armed Forces know the location of at least one M142 HIMARS unit.

“In the area of ​​the settlement of Krasnoarmeysk, Donetsk People’s Republic, a launch and transport-loading machine of a US HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system was destroyed with a high-precision ground weapon,” the report said.

According to a Russian reporter for the online publication Raketna Technika – S.V. Gurov, Russia has destroyed four more HIMARS. Gurov claims that based on the information provided by the Russian Ministry of Defense at the moment, the destroyed M142 HIMARS near Krasnoarmeysk is the fourth of four missile systems delivered to Ukraine.

“Taking into account the reliability of the previously published information, it can be assumed that during the hostilities, the Armed Forces of Ukraine [VSU] lost four HIMARS MLRS combat vehicles from their first delivery to Ukraine. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Federation took them less than a month to destroy the most important part of the delivered weapons and military equipment,” Gurov said in his comment.

Omo arguing with you is exasperating oh. You were the one that posted that Japan annihilated the American fleet in the Pacific which prompted my reference to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. Please point out to me where Japan annihilated America's fleet in the Pacific so that I will know how to reply you because it seems you cannot argue your points without resorting to personal attacks. You quoted my first post calling me "a big lair" and now I'm a "puppet" because you don't agree with my opinions, which is a very poor way of presenting your arguments. I'll ignore your ad hominem attacks for now but I want you to please point out to me the specific battle where Japan annihilated the American fleet in the Pacific.
you are contradicting yourself,
Kamikaze attack took place in the Pacific and lytt gulf, japan didn't use kamikaze during the pearl harbor attack, dive bombers is not kamikaze, pearl harbor attack started in 1941, while kamikaze started in 1944 in Pacific

Japan did not annihilate the American fleet. It was a surprise attack on the US Navy Ships stationed at Pearl Harbour by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) which destroyed some Ships and damaged some others of which most of the ships were later repaired and were able to participate in the naval battles of the Pacific war. In fact it was the US naval forces that almost annihilated the IJN in the battle of midway where the Japanese lost most of their experienced naval fighter pilots, aircrafts and aircraft carriers. This was partly why they adopted the Kamikaze tactic against the US naval forces in desperation after suffering huge losses in the Battle of Midway and other naval battles.
a puppet is always a puppet, pearl harbor is different from kamikaze nawaooo!!
America have not entered the war they were neutral ok, it was pearl harbor attack that draw usa into the war
But kamikaze started towards the end of the war as America strike group is approaching japan and Japanese soldiers have already surrendered to the soviets in eastern Europe, japan have thousands of kamikaze warriors when atomic and plutonium flash was wrecking havoc in their cities
America using nuke to bully japan is an act of cowardice grin grin
