I can see how u clearly avoided the crimea invasion in 2014.

that is one perspective let look at it from another. In 1954 Khrushchev ceded crimea from Russia to ukraine. Crimea oblast was part of Russia. The USSR did not believe that the union would cease to exist in the future. USSR dissolution happened abruptly it wasn't planned so people just took whatever they could that is the reason a lot of Russian oligarchs became billionaire. A lot of the population of the crimea are Russian or Russia speaking ukrainian. Before the coup that removed the former elected ukrainian president. The previous ukrainian government rented out crimea to the Russian military. The Russian military had always been in crimea. When the coup occurred backed by the west since the Russian government did not have fast military deployment capabilities then to quell the coup they immediately conducted referendum in crimea and annexed it due to it strategic military importance.

To decipher the true propagandist, ask the idiots, "Why did Russia invade Ukraine, Putin idiots will answer " according to Russia, to stop Ukraine from joining NATO.

Ask the imbeciles again, Why then are they still on offensive despite the fact that Ukraine has dropped it's ambition. They will start mopping like idiots they are.

NATO membership application was embedded into ukraine constitution in 2019. Just saying they have no interest wouldn't solve it. You have to understand the history behind the invasion. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the Warsaw pact era to the ukrainian coup that removed the pro Russian government. Look at what happened in Kazakhstan recently you see how Putin immediately deployed Russian force to the country to quell the unrest.

Ukraine can't withstand Russia buh na Russia go tire cos entering into people's domain to take over dere land no b Moi moi the same way wey US take tire for Afghanistan na so Russia go tire cos this kind of war no b wetin u fit celebrate for long cos if u capture this territory today dey will goan restrategize to take bak dere territory....


So the war na anoda Afghanistan type of war..

there is difference between the Afghanistan situation and this.
1. Russia would not be that dumb to want to occupy the whole country they would learn from their previous experience in Afghanistan and the recent USA experience there. There are only a few afghan people sympathetic to the USA and USA wanted to install a government for the whole country. but in ukraine they have a lot of Russian speaking people who are sympathetic to Russia they would only annex those region with majority Russian population like Crimea donetsk luhansk in ukraine trasnistria in Moldova, abkhazia and South ossetia in Georgia

2. There mission is to weaken ukraine militarily so it would be difficult for them to keep attacking the rebel held region.

3. Since there would be disputed region in the country they wouldn't be able to join NATO

4. Even if they decide to cede those region to Russia
Russia would still force them to enshrine neutrality in the new ukrainian Republic constitution.

5. Toppling the Kiev government would be difficult as it would involve urban Street to street fighting even if they succeed the puppet government would not survive because the Kiev people are pro west so they would just mutate into guerrilla warfare. Russia would not be much perturbed as the destruction is only happening in ukrainian soil

Where is Iwobi?

I believe he had a red card from previous match

It is table manners I guess. You don't talk while you eat

CoronaVirusPro:
Matket square belief! Who told you Russia defeated Nazis? When did they join the war? When it already closed?

You must be a 1990 kid to tell me this general belief.

Do you have a TV! Is that the Russia that wants to fight NATO? With those outdated Soviet tanks and trucks? Just look at what their soldiers look like? Even Boko Haram seem to be more equipped than Russian soldiers

Struggling to take down a small nation you share boarder with. Imagine USA running over Mexico? It will be history by now!

Hitler lost the war the moment he turned on the soviet. Germans lost more soldier to the Eastern flank than the west. The Germans preferred to surrender to the Western allies than to the Russian because of how ruthless the soviet was. The West and soviet alliance changed the war dynamics. Hitler had captured most of the west already bombing the UK. The Russian are trying to minimise civilian casualty so they aren't utilising maximum air operations.

But there would be no sanctions by the UN as the Russian will veto it. There would be no sanction to implement.

mycar:
You obviously did not read the article very well, the issue is not coordinate but feedback mechanism that sends information back with respect to position and movement of the enemies. Coordinate can tell direct but can't tell what is happening at your destination while google map has the ability to tell what is happening at your destination with respect to the traffic and roads condition.

Russia have several satellite they could use in seeing real time image of what is happening in ukraine. It would be stupid for any military to use or rely on tools from it opponent during a war. Most of this technology that this companies use militaries have had those capabilities along time ago although hidden from public and there a lot they have that are secret.

If the Russian economy recovers from this sanction it would completely make the EU irrelevant in the world's affair . Eu should think long term

Eriokanmi:
And their population? Going by your claim, they should be flying around their landmass then. The way some people think sef dey taya pesin

the ban would affect both side. Russian flight would take longer route same thing with European countries. It just means Russians need to move buy boat or bus to an European country and then fly with an European airline. Russian airline would be affected because they would loose a European market passenger and also their flight to other destinations would be longer as they make detour. Sanction would affect both side but more on Russian airline because EU airlines going the Asia route would take longer times and more fuel

CSTRR:
This is the first time the president of a major country is being personally sanctioned.

Putin is cut off from Western Civilization, and I doubt he would be able to attend the UN summit in New York again.

yes he will attend un summit even if it in the USA because he has diplomatic immunity

Rgade:
The EU is a disgrace. NATO is disgraceful.
NATO should have made their stand crystal clear to Ukraine from day one in the event of a Russian invasion; instead of giving them false hope. NATO couldn’t even predict the invasion. It was US intelligence that saw it coming and those one already took military intervention off the table from day one.
If NATO had at least moved their forces quick enough into Ukraine their presence alone might have been enough to deter Putin. It would take a lot of balls for him to shoot at soldiers bearing the NATO tag.
Apart from the UK and France to an extent, no other major European power is even behaving as if anything is happening.
Ukraine should just agree to Russia’s terms for now abeg, tomorrow they go again. Maybe by then NAssTO would give them more support.

no eu member country in NATO can take on Russia this the ukrainian president should have known. Eu countries spend very little on thier military and more on the economy. Look at what happened on the sudden withdrawal of American troop from Afghanistan. The eu countries could not stand on thier own largely because they do not have fast response military deployment capability. They depend largely on America protection as deterrence. The ukrainian president is not a politician. When you have a country with strong military capability as your neighbour the best thing is to be neutral or seek military cooperation with the east and economic cooperation with the west

moralistic:
After war, comes Peace


But with this incident, more countries will want to join NATO....

Because delay may be dangerous, just like in the case of ukraine

they would not join. The reason is any attempt for NATO to move eastward would be strongly opposed by Russia especially if the country share huge land border with Russia. if the country increases collaboration with NATO then Russia would likely invade the country using false flag operations

Selection or coronation

nijanigga:
The fact is if you're planning to have or already have nuclear weapons never ever give it up,had Ukraine not convinced by the west to give up its nuclear arsenals putin not dare this non sense ,gas prices are soaring here

the nuclear weapon was owned by the soviet Union. The ukrainian did not have the relevant technical knowledge finance to either use, develope and maintain those nuclear weapons the soviet kept there after the sudden break up. Only The Russian knows the encryption the system used. Having something that can annihilate you at your backyard at a single mistake and which you can't afford to maintain just for only to appear like a world power is plain stupid

What Putin wanted to achieve was creating a federal system within ukraine with great autonomy for the Eastern Ukraine Region which allow a balanced central government that has both pro West and pro Russian in it. Which was part of the Minsk agreement but unfortunately the Ukrainian believed they signed the agreement as the weaker side.

The USA funded the coup that removed the former Ukrainian government sympathetic to Russia.

The solution i believe is the FINLADIZATION of Ukraine. It has worked for Finland it would work for ukraine.

Russia would allow the independence of ukraine it can join the eu but not NATO and Ukraine would never oppose Russian foreign interest.

The Russian government has a balanced budget huge foreign reserves in various currency. A developed and diversified economy with huge source of raw materials. The European are much more dependent on Russia raw materials so much sanction would be devastating to both side.

Russian and Ukrainian are same slavic people. It is not a good idea to have a unipolar world. The West should show Putin some respect.

Coming from someone who overthrew a democratically elected government. Can he just sign the electoral ammendment bill. How has he during his tenure strengthed public and democratic institution making them especially transparent

Theoretical physics

Lol. The difference is the rule of law and equality under the rule of law. Police would be there to remove any protesters breaking the law and charged appropriately without using extra judicial/constitutional means. The police there are highly independent and their role is to protect the state and not the government. Can a constable arrest Malami if he witnesses Malami breaking the law

Fiscus105:
Why sanctions and not attack? I think u claimed ukraine is one of ur allies. If it's USA they attack would you result to sanction?

.......that's why I love republican in USA government!


Who knows if America fear defeat in the hands of Russia Sha.

be realistic, the Russian government has more nuclear war head pointed to america than America has to Russia. Those two countries would never engage in an open conflict the only options available to them is to sponsor rebel group in ukraine and use economic sanctions just to make the cost of the war costly for the Russians. The reason why most countries are issuing advisory is because in the case of war they would not be able to send in millitary aircraft to evacuate their citizens.

Can the military provides additional layer of security for the US president? Yes but only on request by the secrete service who are constitutionally mandated to provide security for the president and his family. It has to be approved and permit issued by the host country which I doubt would happen because I doubt if the host country will grant diplomatic immunity to his security details. What would be the use for a marine with no weapon? The amount of and the grade of weapons that the visiting president security teams can bring has to be explicitly authorised by the host nation. Typically this additional layer of security is the responsibility of the host country local police. It all boils down to principle reciprocity if the United state would also allow military personel with military grade weapons from the host country when they visit the United state . Protection of the visiting president is the responsibility of the host country. Although some host country could wave some of this requirement especially when it receives huge foreign aid from the United state or if the host president want to legitimise or increase acceptance of his government

lexy2014:
Marines are soldiers. Every other thing u said is spot on

Marines are members of the marine corp and are not soldiers. Soldiers are member of army just like sailor are members of the navy

God1000:
We all know that US president is one of the most protected world leaders on earth, he travels to wherever he wants with armed security guards from US marines, FBI agents among other special forces.

US air force uses C-17 transport plane to carry the presidential limousine called the beast with several other vehicles to where he's going ahead of his arrival.

The Beast has 8-inch armor plating and five-inch thick bulletproof windows, and Kevlar reinforcement for the giant Goodyear tires that are also run-flat. The cabin is sealed for the outside world for protection against a chemical attack and special foam surrounds the fuel tank in case of an impact.

Do you know any other world leader that travels with such large number of security men?

Russia and China. security arrangement during presidential trips is quite expensive. only a rich country with a high-security budget can afford to have as much security detail that is if it is allowed by the host country

God1000:
Can our own president travel to the US with armed Nigerian soldiers? Will they be allowed?

yes only if the country he is visiting grants permission and issue the necessary permits for his security details to carry a firearm just like the president and his entourage also require a visa to visit the host country. the security details travel on an official passport but have no diplomatic immunity

I am still trying to wrap my head around how an average Nigerian benefits from buying cheap fuel.

Why didn't the family carry out an autopsy ���

Gooooooooooal Tunisia heavy Bleep up

seunmsg:
Twitter will open an office in Nigeria and employ Nigerians. Twitter will pay taxes to the FG from income generated in Nigeria. Twitter will comply with Nigeria’s law as it relates to content that promotes national peace and unity only. Divisive contents the type of which led to the Endsars destruction will no longer be tolerated.

So, how’s this not a win for Nigeria?

so government couldn't have achieved all you stated without the ban.

Even during Abacha days. The dictator had numerous support for all his draconian actions, so this does not surprise me. Just imagine if this governor had state police. There is a need to strengthen our institutions, this would ensure they defend the state interest, protect the rule of law instead of political interest. the police authority should punish bad behaviour of it personnel.

Their is no country on earth that can defeat Russia in any kind of war fare Hitler tried and regretted it. The country land mass is too large plus it weather condition. Russia would capture Ukraine in less than 2 days NATO would only respond with sanction nothing else. Without Nuke no country in Europe even USA could defeat Russia. the main reason why NATO was formed was to counter Russia . NATO in ukraine is similar with Russia nuke present in Mexico.

Peaceworld:
Very funny. NATO is a free organization. Any free country can join it. Any free country. Russia doesn't own former USSR countries. I want to make that point clear. Russia should join NATO sef. Den everybody go make sense.

nato was formed to counter Russia. The purpose of the organisation would become useless if Russia joins.

OLDESTWARRIBOY:


And so?? Malaria kills more than Covid-19. When will they take Malaria serious?.

why should they take malaria seriously when there is no financial incentive? Pharma companies aren't charity organisation. If countries that suffer from a disease are too lazy to invest in it health care/drug discovery , why should other countries do it for us, expecially for disease that do not affect them?

meobizy:
Good Lord. I had to skim past a lot of filler before reaching the main gist.

Vasectomy is safe and reversible. Maybe he’s mistaking it for sterilization which means he won’t bear children after the procedure. This is a situation where communication would draw a middle ground. You plan on having one child (which you’ll change your mind against in future) while he’s picturing two or more. Find a more willing candidate and leave him alone. There are many childless late forties to early fifties males who would grant your request quickly.

what does safe means to you? Are there any procedure that are 100% safe? Why is it considered a Permanent sterilisation? Mind you according to NHS success rate within three years of the procedure reversal is around 75%, within three to eight years is 55% etc. There is no guarantee that fertertlity would be returned.
