Bt is Putin ready to discuss?? That’s the issue. U can’t invade a country and tell it t follow all ur instructions and call it a discussion or negotiations.
What's the alternative? Sacrifice your 40M citizens?
Ukraine already lost. Fighting a war in your city is already a loss and definitely not with Nuclear armed Russia. The world no balance and it's time to face the reality on ground. NATO will avoid any direct confrontation with Russia at all cost.

US, China, Russia, France and UK are all bullies. They make up the 5 permanent members of the UN. They decide what happens in this world so we should see past the mirage of sovereignty false narrative. They decide when and how your sovereignty ends.

Lol what are you talking about?yeah medically they are good but thats just about it,and nothing like ignorance here,can you tell me what you can buy with their tissue paper currency?and do your research well about Cuba and its people,they HATE life there..

Oga Cuba na slum,you can lie and decieve your self on that but it doesn't change the fact..do yourself a favour and Google videos of tourists who visit Cuba because obviously its you who is the ignorant one here. Let me make it easier for you..Watch the video in the link bellow and educate yourself on the true situation of things in Cuba. You are welcome

This capitalist mindset is sickening. There's is slum everyone including NewYork. How many average Americans can afford health care? Since you accept the fact that Cuba has health care.

If you're diabetic in America you're finished. Minimum of $300 will go for your insulin shot on a monthly basis.

Education is top notch. Literacy level is higher than even America.

If you still believe that because Cubans are not driving Benz and Lamborghini means their life is horrible then I have nothing to say to you. Knock your self out

STORY STORY..Sanctions will cripple Europe?lol you must be a joker..because say Russia is the only country that they can do biz with abi..apart from oil what else does the EU get from Russia that can't be gotten else where?Russia is still the losser in all this..this is the beginning of the end of Russia,if na so e easy then why cuba and Venezuela na junk yards?and thats Exactly what Russia is going to become in few months. China can only do very little.
Cuba Junk yard? You're really ignorant. The mistake we keep making is using Western standard on every country. In terms of every human developmental indices Cuba tops most of the western countries.

Literacy level, infant mortality rate, life expectancy in Cuba is 79.18 and still above America.

With all the sanctions their citizens still get free health care that has contributed to their life expectancy. How many Americans can afford Health care?

Only insulin shots set you back financially by $250-$300 monthly in America.

Cuba never bought COVID-19 vaccine. They made theirs which they have been exporting. Because they don't by Western goods doesn't mean their lives have stopped.

In fact playing down Russia's contribution to the economy of Europe makes you really ignorant. 40% of gas used in Europe is supplied by Russia and their gas is 3 times cheaper than any other supplier. If it was easy why are they delaying the sanction on Russian oil companies?

Your info here isn't informed.

A lot of Russian machinery and inputs are gotten from rich nations. You can't just change your parts suppliers overnight.

Even America would crumble if these types of sanctions were imposed on it. There's just too much interdependence in the world economy today. Even China will collapse.
They're not as dependent as Nigeria. Many people commenting uses Nigerian standard to rate Russia where everything down to toothpick is imported.

Having China as an ally is a huge buffer. Again back to the issue of sanctions. Cuba as a case study has lived through sanctions for decades yet, on every human developmental indices they're a nation to reckon with.

They made their own COVID-19 vaccine which they're exporting. Sanctions never stopped stopped them from achieving that.
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Turns To China’s Unionpay System Amid Visa And Mastercard Departures by Johnrake69: 7:18pm On Mar 07, 2022
People asking who accepts Unionpay are just ignorant. China is the number one trade destination.

Russia export more than they import. The issue of sanctions will cripple the European companies doing business with Russia. You only get goods from Russia when you make payment that they can acknowledge.

Foreign AffairsRe: Blinken Says NATO Countries Have "Green Light" To Send Fighter Jets To Ukraine by Johnrake69: 7:53am On Mar 07, 2022
aperture11:
The Ukrainian Air force were trained on Russian made fighter jets, Poland has a lot of them.

Poland will hand over their jets to Ukraine and they will get replacements from the West.

This war is just going to be protracted and Putin will leave with a bloody nose and a junk economy to return to.

He will threaten to nuke everybody but in the end he will just be assassinated while his country begs for the sanctions to be lifted.

Russia will have fully militarized neighbors in Sweden, Finland and the other Nordic states that haven't joined NATO and neutral becoming members. Their fear is that they could be the next Ukraine.

That is the trajectory of this war. Putin played his card too early. He had control and should just have threatened, not go on a full fledged war.
Hehehehehehehe... Russia is making more money now than ever before. Did you check the price of crude?

If this conflict continues we could see Brent crude at $150. And sanctioning of Russian oil companies can push it to $200. Can the world live with that?

Fact is Ukrainians are not smiling and suffering, they have balls they will fight.
They will fight to what end? Fight a nuclear armed Russia?

Dialogue is the only way out. The president has ruined Ukraine. Releasing prisoners and arming them is one of the worst strategy he could think of. If Russia withdraw their troops today Ukraine is ruined.

They will be fighting bandits for the next 10years.

So because of police have not arrested the importers of bad fuel then we should have license to endanger the lives of others citizens abi?
You know the reason Nigeria and Africa in general is in this pitiable condition? It's simple we look away from the foundation of a problem only to chase shadows.

If there wasn't fuel scarcity I'm not sure if these would have happened in the first place.

You're quick to play down the role the companies played in sabotaging our economy but let's hang those that gave out fuel as souvenir typical Nigerian mindset.

I hope after hanging them the issue of scarcity that has made people to throw caution to the wind by buying more than they need in gallons everywhere will be solved.

Nigerians against America, wetin America do them? You wey dey quote me tell me if dem give you opportunity to chose where to go or be, you’d chose to travel to any of those countries you mentioned and not America.
It's open secret that America is responsible for terrorism all over the world. They funded Al Qaeda and other groups and we have suffered from it by having Boko haram in our backyard.

And secondly, you must not travel. Stay in your country and fix it. The same thing most civilized countries have done.

The French Revolution was majorly caused by huge inflation on food commodities. Sugar, flour. And till today. Price of these commodities have remained relatively stable for more than 20years.

All these people attacking America and supporting Russia, abeg wetin Russia don do for the world. America may have done some damages but they have done more good than harm to the world. Putin invaded a sovereign nation because they wants to join a body and for whatever reasons some people are supporting him. So Ukraine should become enemies with the west just because Putin and the west are enemies, una dey reason dis tin at all.
Imagine the kind of bullies and dictators people are supporting, China, Nk and Russia. If given the visas to these countries and a visa to America, make una swear say una nor go chose America with open hands. Putin is just being a bully, forget all these analysis. The whole world is against you, you’re speculatively supported only by wicked people. I still maintain America and Americans have done more good to the world. Nor be China knack us COVID-19.
America, UK and Europe generally na cancer to the world.

You can ask Cuba, México, Brazil, Panama, Vietnam, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraqi, Nicaragua, Haiti, Dominican Republic, etc. What America means to them. Keep supporting America.

Left to America we can all die by paying huge prices for basic commodities.

Common insulin shot in America is 5X more expensive than anywhere else.

America is the only place in the world where the number of vacant homes is 6X the number of homeless people.

If no be for China we all for don hear am. Forget this initial gragra Europe will take a huge hit from boycotting Russian cheap gas. Some of them will go behind to still buy. Nigerian gas will be 3X more expensive than the Russian gas. Tell me how many European countries can afford to buy that considering we're just coming out from a pandemic.

China launched its Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) in 2015, using the yuan. Russia developed its System for Transfer of Financial Messages (SPFS). To build an independent Russian-Chinese financial system by linking the two should not be a problem.


Iran has had the sanctions in time past, and it nothing new
Necessity is the mother of invention. I think it’s a huge risk the west is taking. If Russia, China can come up with an alternative it’s going to weaken the west economic wise. People supporting the west don’t understand what’s going on. We need Russia, China to check mate western excesses. Unipolar world as being championed by the west is not in the interest of world peace. Imagine having bokoharam dealing with us here and America says we can’t get weapons to fight back.

It was powerful and i believe that i will be free after the program, I was very optimistic and i was really thanking God because i felt something. Do you believe that when i got home after the 3 days prayer, my brother sent me some money (i think about 30k).m In my mind i was like yes this is it, a new life. Not up to 1 hour that i got home, i begin to cough again. Before i could blink i deposited my money into my Forex account and within 1 hour all the money is gone. Then the cycle continued so i begin to wonder in my mind "is it that the deliverance wasnt complete?"

Nonpartisan1:
At the end of the day Russia will become a pariah state cut off from the rest of the world. His people will revolt when all these economic sanctions by the West start weighing in.

Putin will never come out of this war the same again.

The LOSS:
1.NATO is going to beef up security with major deployments to its members bordering Russia.

2. Russia is going to be cut off from the rest of the world-trust me Russia is no China, the latest sanctions will bite very hard at home.

3. Many countries that have been reluctant to join NATO will freely come out now with applications, seeing how it was easy for Russia to invade a non member country.

4. When the latest Economic sanctions starts weighing in like say, 5months from now. The Russian massess will troop out in the streets and force a major regime change.

This is, I repeat a foolish war that Putin have chosen. And this could undo him in many ways..

Meanwhile, in other news: Here is Mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko at the battlefront defending his country.

Klitschko is a former boxing champion and a millionaire, he could have fled Ukraine by private jet, live a happy life elsewhere, but he decided to fight for his country
The same protest will also hit Europe when they start paying double cost on gas. Russia supplies 40% of Europeans gas need.

France, Spain and Germany are not in support of these sanctions

But Russia who has been denying all dis while not to invade Ukraine has just did.. it shows it has ulterior Motives which is annexing most of eastern Europe back to its Former Soviet Union status.. And Trust me the West won't allow it happen under face of this Earth again
You're actually the one twisting the facts.


Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously asked for confirmation that Ukraine will not join the NATO defence alliance, however his demands have been rejected by the West.


Why is Ukraine not in Nato?
Despite NATO being present in Ukraine, and Ukraine contributing towards NATO missions, the country is still officially not a member.

Upon the inauguration of US President Joe Biden in 2020, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his first question to the new US leader would be: “Mr President, why are we not in NATO yet?”

This was a direct quote of the Ukrainian president after Joe Boden inauguration.
