Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called to "destroy the ruble and crush the Russian oil and gas sector" in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine.

Graham made the call in a tweet thread posted after Putin's national address in which he recognized the independence of the separatist Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic areas of Ukraine.

"When it comes to thugs like Putin disrupting world order and destroying democracies – enough is enough," Graham wrote.

"Putin’s decision to declare eastern Donetsk and Luhansk as independent regions within Ukraine is both a violation of the Minsk Agreements and a declaration of war against the people of Ukraine," the Republican from South Carolina continued.

"His decision should immediately be [b]met with forceful sanctions to destroy the ruble and crush the Russian oil and gas secto[/b]r," Graham added.

The situation in Ukraine has become dire, with Putin’s recognition of the separatist governments likely to lead to conflict.

A U.S. official gave a grave warning to the United Nations, cautioning that Russia has put together a list of Ukrainians "to be killed or sent to camps following a military occupation."

Bleep USA, Bleep Russia, Bleep NATO countries, infact Bleep the world leaders in general.

Imagine this useless USA and NATO countries provoking Russia to invade Ukraine when they are not going to send a single troop to defend Ukraine.

Ukraine shouldn't let USA and NATO countries used them.

FuckSilly:
You see how daft you are?
The most independent and self-sufficient country in the world is China at the moment.
Most countries in the world depend on China...
China can even impose sanctions on USA. You think this is 1980 abi?

Icumsa45:
You gon' prick some nerves

Trentee4eva:
You should pray it doesn't become a nuclear war because the UK, where you reside will be obliterated. UK will be dust and ashes with a single strike of the Russian sarmat nuclear missile (Satan-2 is the NATO codename). In a nuclear war between Russia and NATO, China will become the undisputed economic and military superpower if they don't get involved.

FuckSilly:
You people just think with your anus...
Do you think Russia is like Nigeria or Ghana?
Who needs USA and Europe when China is there?

FuckSilly:
I find some of you so foolish and sentimental to even engage with.
USA can invade Iraq, Syria, Afghanista, Cuba, Venezuela etc but Russia can not invade Ukraine?

Ass lickers

pansophist:
The west have met their match. I remember during Iraq war when Bush ordered the president and his son to leave the country within few days ultimatum. They could do that because Iraq was weak and has no nuclear weapon, and they invaded the country later on. Now its Russia and its only shout and sanctions. Go fight Russians na. Lol

You lots don't even understand the dynamics of the EU market where Russia supplies the whole of Europe over 40% of basic energy needs that they can't possibly get elsewhere. Tell me how the US wants to supply gas to the whole of Europe and at what cost? Are they going to construct new delivery channels? You guys just sit on Nairaland and type away without even knowing the dynamics of the things you say.

shiwex:
never.....Europe needs Gas. have you been to Europe to see how this year's winter is cold....Cripple the economy and Europe will freeze to death......Russia is not just some banana republic.....

Ishitinyourlife:
Mumu, they've been sanctioning them since 2014 and nothing has changed

Rugaria:
I said here; All these Western gragra begins and ends with sanctions...

BloomingDale:
Ok. Makes sense. Most Nigerians are coons and have no idea what is happening on the world stage.

BloomingDale:
So you are a Nigerian? What do you mean Nigerian British? Are you not a black man?

BloomingDale:
Are you an American or European? I can’t believe there are non citizens still supporting America and EU.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
This might have an effect on Russia to be sincere..
To my knowledge there isn't really any precedent since 1945 for a great power annexing another country to both gain land and intimidate another superpower...
Right now there's a spectrum for what what could happen..

On the one end Russia could invade and something could go horrifically wrong and we end up in a Europe wide NATO - Russia war. That would be disastrous to say the least.

In the middle of the spectrum is full sanctions and Russia becomes and economic pariah state. This however looks unlikely as only Britain and the US seem to see eye to eye in arguing for this outcome..
France and Germany seem a little bit less enthusiastic about this approach..
Let's see how it goes..

GTkester:
Loolol, don't flatter yourself! US and UK have all tapped out of sanctions. They have wasted all their sanctions on Russia since 2014, and now they do not have any leverage on Russia.

So, welcome to the berth of a new world order!!

useni1:
Like say we never see the total collapse of American stock market before, in 2008. Russia don't give a fvck. The USSR must come back to form an iron shield over the global South. American dollars must collapse and China and Putin will see to it

Sergio101:
It's time for class!!!.

Bro encephalon means "brain"
I meant you should always think with your brain before opening ya boisterous filthy buccal

helinues:
Please don't derail this thread. Read rule 1 properly

helinues:
This is purely a proxy war between Usa/NATO allies vs Russia. Ukraine is just unfortunate

Sergio101:
He meant raze.

Use ya encephalon for once

Gunmen attacked Isu police divisional headquarters in IMO state, freeing detainees and raising the facility. Details later.

Militants from the Islamic State-backed faction of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), formerly known as Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād, have taken over a military base located in Gamboru Ngala, Borno State.

SaharaReporters gathered that the insurgents on gun trucks attacked the base on Saturday night, exchanging firepower with Nigerian troops stationed in the community.

According to a military source, the gunmen came in different groups and could not be counted.

The source added that “some Nigerian soldiers were killed while others fled into the bush”.

It was learnt that the insurgents also “burnt some buildings and vehicles in the military base”.

Since the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been consolidating its grip in locations around Lake Chad.

Last year, it appointed Wali Sani Shuwaram, a 45-year-old as the new Leader (Wali) of ISWAP in Lake Chad.

The sect’s membership has swollen with the defection of hundreds of Boko Haram fighters under Shekau.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army on its Twitter page on Monday announced success in its fight against insurgency around Mandara mountains along the northern part of the Nigeria-Cameroon border.

“Based on intelligence report, today troops of 144 Battalion Madagali-Adamawa State in conjunction with Civilian JTF laid an ambush on withdrawing ISWAP/Boko Haram Terrorists after a superiority clash between the terror groups. Scores of terrorists were neutralized at Mandara mountains,” it said.
