It's very good for them. How can a single country go against the whole world? Who are they? At least as they are bombing Ukraine's infrastructures and refineries, let their own economy be plummeting too, so that by the end, no be only Ukraine go dey suffer economic crises.

In 1996, the Nigerian government refused to to go to AFCON because of the racial discrimination against black South Africans, CAF a subsidiary of the FIFA franchise did not view it as a valid reason but went ahead to ban Nigeria from the 1998 edition.

FIFA has a policy; politics and football should not mix else you will get a fine maybe this only applies to certain people as everyone is watching FIFA. If these countries refuse to play against Russia and are not sanctioned, then FIFA has a lot of explaining to do

The party is about to go down. Russia are you ready for the new dance step
You can't fight and win people that are united. What you think you know or have, they also have.
Dialogue is the only way out

The role Russia played in the election of Trump to presidency in 2016 is highly significant, part of the reasons why the US always wanted to retaliate against Russia (the US never forgets or forgive! Always remember this)… however the US’s alone sanctions couldn’t do the trick and so they had to find a meaner way of getting EU govts to join the attack so that the sanctions can stick and bite harder.

It was the US who kept pushing Zalensky to call for Ukraine’s bid to join NATO, something the US knows guarantees Putin’s anger which would ultimately lead him to invade Ukraine! When it almost didn’t work out due to Putin’s indecision, they began to instigate that Russia WILL invade (even stating the actual dates of invasion), they wind and pushed Putin so much until he decided to do it… now, ‘we gat him’

Next is applying pressure on all Western govts to lay sanctions one after the other. Not just the govts, the sports orgs, the media, multinational corporations… all must take part otherwise the US will put you on a rader (to deal with u later). It’s all political and power and dominance and exceptionalism, all orchestrated by the US!

My own analysis and opinion

Armaggedon:
Isn't it funny how many mainstream Western media that run the story of Ukrainian soldiers and later it emerged their wee alive. Some called it propaganda but it wasn't propaganda, it was an outright lie and fake news intended to decieve people.

The question is how many news channel was sanctioned by Facebook and twitter for posting such fake news since the conflict began? How many of such news was even blocked by their usual "fact check"? None

Yet many Russian news channels have been blocked by Youtube.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Let them keep deceiving themself..

Akwamkpuruamu:
Russia is being Isolated. You can't fight the world

hysteresis:

I can safely conclude that its ...Fake news and propaganda....
The west are really active in their media outlet...
That was how they claimed that 13 Ukrainian soldiers refused to surrender and were killed, only to find out that the soldiers surrendered to the Russians....
Hahahahahah..

Crayfish09:
International Courts are meant for poor countries. It is like Hisbah

PENNYSWAP:




You are 1000% correct...
It’s all propaganda from the wicked America and their machineries

Russia is being Godly in this fight and can you imagine they are using a World War II tanks on Ukrain military and outdated jet fighters

Plus sending in their tier 3 soldiers not even tier 2 or their elite forces , tier 3 with outdated AK 47 ...

That’s what’s confusing the west

Mom007:

Funny thing, Russia is even petting the Ukrainian people sef! Fighting them with kid gloves on, using probably the least sophisticated weapons in their arsenals, more like a mother spanking an erring child because they still see them as an extension of themselves. The Ukrainians are just playing the sentiments card after allowing themselves to be manipulated and abandoned by the west.

Gold179:
trash, if Russia wants to finish Ukraine one day is enough for them to... get your fact well before spewing rubbish

“Ghost of Kiev”

Moscow and Kiev issue update on Ukrainian border guards reported killed
The Ukrainian president earlier claimed that all defenders died in a fight with Russian forces.

The Russian military has claimed that Ukrainian border guards, whom Ukraine initially declared entirely slain, survived, while Kiev's military concurred that it might indeed be the case.

Both countries’ armed forces on Saturday said that a group of Ukrainian border guards stationed on Zmeinyy (Snake) Island, located some 48km off Ukraine’s southern coast in the Black Sea, were captured by Russian forces. Russia says they were taken alive and unharmed to Sevastopol in Crimea.

However, the initial story allegedly went as follows: a group of 13 border guards on the island were confronted by a Russian warship on Thursday. The Russian ship ordered the group by radio to surrender, the Ukrainians replied “go f**k yourself,” and the Russian ship opened fire. After several hours of fighting, all the guards were killed.

The story spread like wildfire on social media and was held up by the Ukrainian government, Western media outlets and journalists as an example of Ukrainian “heroism.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky honored the troops he declared slain, saying: “On our [Snake] Island, defending it to the last, all the border guards died heroically,” and promising to award them the posthumous title of “Hero of Ukraine.”

The first signs that something else may have happened came early on Saturday, as Russia’s Black Sea Fleet announced that dozens of Ukrainian border troops were delivered to Sevastopol, Crimea, with videos online purportedly showing their arrival.

Ukraine’s Border Guard Service stated shortly afterwards that the troops on Snake Island “bravely defended themselves,” but were taken prisoner when the island was captured. According to the military branch, reports that all had perished were “preliminary,” and came after the Ukrainian military lost contact with the island. The ministry did not say how many guards were stationed on the island, and did not claim to know whether any died or were injured.

The Russian Ministry of Defense likewise confirmed the capture of the island. Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said that 82 Ukrainian servicemen had been stationed on the island, that all surrendered, and that none were injured. Konashenkov said that as prisoners were being transported off the island, 16 Ukrainian Navy boats disguised as civilian vessels launched an attack on Russia’s Black Sea fleet.

Konashenkov said that Russians destroyed six of the Ukrainian vessels, and claimed that US drones were seen operating in the area, suggesting that the US “directed” the Ukrainian boats. These reports have not yet been corroborated.

A recording of the Snake Island garrison supposedly telling the Russian ship to “go f**k yourself” is still circulating on social media. There is currently no evidence that the recording is genuine, and Ukraine’s Border Guard Service only said that the troops gave a message indicating “no one will surrender.”

Waiting on your response

Ellasure:


Thanks you for your reasonable deductions. Don't mind the liberal western world with chicken Republics and many faces of homophobic and penophobic countries without any positive agenda than liberalism to wealth. Western world and wealth without adequate work and power.

If India, China, Russia and Saudi Arabia are abstaining from a matter, tell me what is Ireland and England doing on voting. Voting that has been rigged by numbers without weight.

At the end of the day, God Almighty will win.

seanwilliam:
so when does ‘abstained’ translate being in support ??

Dbegining:



All countries on the security council has a vote.

A vote of Russia can't"case close" a resolution especially when there are many saying no.


Don't you know how voting works?
Russia isn't God on the security council you know.

You were quite funny when you said "Russia vetoed it, case closed"

And the “Ghost of Kiev” could still take down 6


That’s more reason to celebrate the first Ace pilot in the 21st century

I doubt if anything born of a woman can beat that achievement!

6 in less than 24 hours! Are you kidding me?

Imagine that guy had access to a F35-Lightning? Meaning the guy would be a nuclear human at that point
