Boy slide off..

Best response in the world after Jesus' response to the devil on the mountain.

patrotic9gerian:
Biden isn't weak. He has rather chosen to put the lives of his citizens to safety and to ensure that everyone in the world including Reno Omocri has peace. When you choose the part of peace, people like Reno see you as weak and a coward.

Such heros like Biden should rather be celebrated than criticized. Do you guys think that Russia can ever withstand an American aggression? Go and have a look at how much the American government spend on the US army. Besides, America has tremendous control of NATO forces who's army strength is more than five times that of Russia.

Should Biden attack Russia, you (with your long teeth) may even be the one suffering from the consequences and not America... Shun ignorances.

Reno is dumb on this one

Because Putin had made it clear from the beginning that he will never accept the idea of Ukraine and Georgia joining NATO or EU. He would rather die than let that happen. Ukraine should have pledged to remain neutral just like Switzerland in WW2.

France and UK made a verbal pledge to frustrate Ukraine joining NATO, but US says they cannot make a pledge.

What is happening in Ukraine is a struggle for control of Ukraine. While the US uses aids, money and democracy to control Ukraine, Russia feels the only option left for her is force.

Question:

Has Ukraine joined NATO?

Do you punish a child for the havoc he's about to cause?
Maybe Putin feels this is the time to put hypersonic missiles to use, because every of his move recently have been far from reasonable.

Ockra007:
When United States gave a possible military invasion of Ukraine by Russia last week, Putin said Washington was lying and the children here were saying it was just a media war propaganda by the United States. Our collective option is for the war not to have started. Since it has started, just pray it doesn't go beyond this level. Let's remember that first and second world war started somewhere, between two countries.

I told a naughty boy here sometime ago that America spies on the world with great precision and he thought it was just a joke.

Skooltynz:
You blame Putin?
Why can't NAto mantain their lane and let peace reign,no reasonable country wants to be surrounded by enemies America and Nato should leave two Slavic brothers alone let them sought out their differences.


Like for Russia share for NATO

Why Russia no attack NATO, if NATO is the cause as you blame. An adult slapped you as an adult and you go about looking for his best friend's little son to bully.
Anyone who blames this war on NATO must be driven by pure hatred and sentiments, not sound reasoning.

MrQuadri:
If you don't know anything, shutting up won't kill you.

What about the atrocities in the middle East when the west and isreal were invading people land.

Are you a jihadist?

But that is Ukraine's Choice. The Ukrainians know better...of which side appeal more to their interests and goals as a country.

wirinet:
I am also not pro Russians but the West must understand and accommodate Russia's fears instead of treating them like a defeated country.
I am particularly appalled by Biden's handling of the whole situation. He was encouraging Zelinski to make mouth anyhow instead of encouraging him to talk to Putin, afterall both of them are named Vladimir and they both speak Russian. Now that the war has started, will America and the West sent troops to Ukraine to protect them.

Even though I don't like Trump, I know he would not have antagonize Putin to the point of invading Ukraine. He would have told Zelinski "you are in your own" and he would have been forced to negotiate with Putin.

Everyone has her fair share of blames on this issue but why are you not blaming Putin here as well?
Is it because no one blames a mad man for acting mad?

seunny4lif:
Congratulation on your nonsense

That's your usual way of ending a conversation that throw your shoulders down first, leaves you clueless and then enlighten you at the same time. Learning must bruise your ego for you to grow my friend.
Each time you pray always thank God for America, at least they gave you the internet with a huge library to reduce ignorance at a minimal cost.., also pray for your enemies too. Pray for your friends. Pray for your country. Pray for peace. Pray for Ukraine.
I'm done with this conversation. Be blessed.

bepositive11:
All that you mentioned is not because they have more money. Europe subscribes to socialism while America subscribes to capitalism

What¡¿!??

I can see, you don’t know.
Research a little and stop disgracing yourself
Iran have been cut off from SWIFT since over 4 years or less yet her trade still hit high and she still trading with China, Russia, Turkey, Iraq and Armenia.

Mtchewww. All these kids for nairaland . Always conscious of winning arguments. Okay fine, Russia has SPFS, an equivalent of SWIFT that Iran got connected to after US sanctions, abi? Fine. Now ask yourself why is the US currently threatening to disconnect Russia from SWIFT if it invades Ukraine, (a move experts say would have a very crippling effect on Moscow), if Russia isn't still heavily dependent on SWIFT?
And why would a reasonable Russia still be heavily dependent on SWIFT even when she churned out SPFS?
Please go back and read about the SWIFT system in the light of the current realities.
I've observed you on this platform, the way you spill mediocrity with so much arrogance. Its woeful. Learn to learn.

sslcrypt:
Please I will urge you to study and learn before talking. You think this about america/ Russia? It means you are totally out of tune with reality. Like you mentioned population wise china have it which is not disputed but talk of wealth from intellectual property to financial leverage to banking leverage to actual standard of living and you thrashed Europe and america into the bin? When 2 biggest trading partners are america and europe? If those two were to go to hell, china would have been way richer because Russia to Africa will be the best alternative. But the sad thing is they are all part of means to an end for china. This forum as we see is now a case study for think tanks across the world, it's part of several variables that act as good source for local content from Nigeria. But please my friend I will urge you to study and speak constructively, 4 logical respondent have gotten a job from the forum. Everyone doesn't have to agree that's the beauty with having a conversation

God bless you.
I owe you a poultry and a brewery.
But I'll start small small with one chicken and a bottle of Heineken

Toktee:
How old is this guy

Its not in the age though. He could be 40.
You can still find a child at 40 just as you can get a nuisance at 16

Toktee:
What a pained dude

Only a Muslim can be this venomous.

No. Only a jihadist can.

Great0ne1:
Putin's army are on a peace keeping mission on the Republic of donbas(the newly created country). Everyone has right to self determination including the people of Republic of biafra. That is the main tenet of democracy. America and there puppet called nato must respect the choice of people of donbas.

Comment from a dumb ass about Donbas.

udemzyudex:
Pain who?

Chinese century my foot, when COVID was killing everyone,how much did your almighty China donate to WHO compare to US?

Go to SA and see what the Chinese are doing and other African countries,you hate for US just make you dumb and can't see that even China is not the saviour.

Leave those jokers.
They don't know that if they were to be in China and made a funny comment about the Government on social media like they usually do here, them for don pick them up teytey

seunny4lif:
SWIFT monopoly will stop.
Why do you think they are dropping it
Russia already created her own version of SWIFT
China already created her own version too
2021 Russia and Iran trade hit over €4B without SWIFT.

Cho cho cho cho cho....
Must you always talk?
See how you spill folly with so much arrogance.
I don't think you know what SWIFT is. No, don't think you do. Probably you think its an app.

JooEeL:
IN THIS WORLD, THE MOST DESPERATE IS HE WHO GETS THE TROPHY.

NO FREEDOM BY BEG-BEG OR PETITION-PETITION.

IF YOU DON'T SHOW FORCE, CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE AND UNREST... THE WORLD POWERS WILL NEVER EVER TALK ABOUT YOU.

IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO GROUND YOUR ECONOMY FOR YOUR FREEDOM, YOU ARE NOT READY.

FOOLS ON NL WILL BE SAYING, YOU ARE HURTING YOUR ECONOMY THINKING YOU ARE DOING THE GOVERNMENT. THESE ARE COMPLETE FOOLS. AS LONG AS YOURE A SLAVE, YOU HAVE NO ECONOMY.

Can you please summarize all of these in a sentence? Cos the 'all caps' thing in this comment is doing more harm to its meaning, if it has any.

Navalsadiq:
Why does America specializes in joining heads together

Joining heads together, as in cooperation with other countries or smashing heads together, as in stirring up conflict between other countries?

useni1:
Germany can go to hell. The population of China is more than Europe. India is also a good friend of Russia. Power has shifted to Asia. America is finished

I'm still trying to assess the mental health of those who pushed the like button on this comment.

CrownedPhoenix:
I used to love Putin. The strong no-nonsense untouchable badass ex-KGB agent, man made of steel. A balance to world power etc etc

I thought and believed Russia to be non-expantionist. Loved that country for their resolute willpower throughout history. From the fire of Moscow to Stalin's snipers in Stalingrad, I have loved this country of theirs.

But in this past few weeks I have made time for reflection on the man Putin.

The respectable demeanor and aura he carried has been reduced to dust, revealing another power hungry, devilish Hitler.

I am horribly disturbed by his flagrant disregard for rules of engagement. One a KGB agent should know better about.

Declare recognition for parts of a sovereign State. And then decree troops be deployed into a sovereign state?

This is unacceptable by any standard.

What a low-life cunning way to invade a sovereign State. Some hype it as a game of chess. I call it con.

Watching a man I so much revered talking nonsense history and making an utter fool of himself on TV. Couldn't believe it's same Vladimir Putin I could argue to the moon & back for.

Except China who's waiting to play same script on Taiwan, anybody supporting this insanity just because they hate America should have his/her head checked.

He is saying all the Anti-Putin activists can gather in one place, declare themselves a sovereign State and have other nations recognize them.

He referenced how a country can not pursue it's security to the detriment of another country, what exactly has he just done?

Well, by this provocative action of his, if Ukraine doesn't immediately formally apply to join NATO, then something is wrong.

You can imagine the idiotic comments made here by these weezkeeds and marlians, all for the hatred of America.
They just pick sides like its football talk and start analysing with the frail logic of sports betting. That's all they got. That's what they can offer. Then you got these types also, who have a hint of global politics, with shallow insight as its relates historical timeline. They so much assert themselves with arrogance and talk about the evil West, an overwhelming better China, a Powerful preferable Russia, bla bla.. But they'll kill to have a US visa.
So much nonsense on one platform.

[color=indigo]Then, I loved the combination of Crush or Tandi and the rectangle okin biscuit (I disliked the round type). The days of 3T, Cleopatra, Bryan Adams, Bright Chimezie, Daniel Wilson, Kc and Jojo, Mc Hammer, Prince (now late), and programmes like The Bold and the Beautiful, The New Masquerade, The Village Headmaster, Jake and the Fatman, Touched by an Angel, Dempsey and Makepeace, Paloma, The Rich Also Cry, PS I Love You, Checkmate, Tales By Moonlight...gosh, my childhood was blessed.

Children were children then. Teenagers were teenagers not ritualists. Mike Okri exhorted kids in his song, hear your mama hear your papa, life go better for you.., Christy Igbokwe of blessed memory sang out too, 'omo mi seun rere ki iya dara o...' Sunny Okosun too. Healthy songs that parents and kids could sing together without offence. There was no Davido to initiate bumbum challenge over 1 million naira. Yes, we had a Fela, Abami eda of blessed memory, his songs were radically constructive, pointing and calling out the ills of the era and powers that be. I can't forget Okonkwo in Things fall apart. Pete Edochie will always be a blessing to this Nation.
Money had value then, but the people upholded moral values still. Today people value the money that lost so much of its value and threw away the core societal values that hold a people together and guarantees a legacy to secure the future.
There was a country.

CSTRR:
Those clowns saying "tall".
Are they aware that 70% of the world's population is not tall?

True. Understand her. She's simply talking about the 30％ few.

pakirisuitesphc:
Russia is feeding them with fake intel on this and they are just fooling themselves.

Nah. That's untrue. The West doesn't go with what the Kremlin gives them. If you're used to the global political terrain, you'll know. They trust and work with shared intel between allies than Russian lies.

maasoap:
In this our current world? Please, wake up!
USA and her allies invaded Iraq, a "sovereign country" over false allegation, nothing happened. USA entered Pakistan illegally to kill Osama bin Ladin, nothing happened. And so many incidents like that. It's all about what you can do and get away with it.
No matter the relationship and agreement between Russia and Mexico, USA will never allow Russia to have military base there. You get the drift?

Yeah. You simply drifted away from the point. That's the drift.

Rexymania:
Why are they so sure with the time and date if they weren't the ones that will first strike and Russia will retaliate.

The US spy on the world with the best espionage systems. Same as Israel. They share intel.

somehow:
Anything the West say, do not believe them.

Do not forget :

Libya
Iraq
Syria
Afghanistan

And a host of other lies they have been known for.

They use their media to push their brainwashing so as to justify their next move.

You are Somehow. Most suitable name for this disposition of yours.

joyandfaith:
Deception is part of war strategy. I hope you are enjoying articles from Russian websites.

No mind am

MangekyoAlt:
Abeg what is wrong with all these British media's sef? From thesun.uk to dailymail to mirror etc all of them are ditching out propaganda because of hate abi racism or what?
Russia announced just today, that they've started pulling some of their troops back to their bases, yet this stupid, useless media is claiming they're gonna attack 1 am tomorrow Based on US intelligence? Na people wey still dey read articles from British websites I blame.

Exactly! and it looks like the people who gave these likes for this your comment too are lame.

EmmanuelBlaze04:
Well, to say, this is the truth though, and, identical ideologies, of course, leads to bribdingnag alliances, guess that explains why Castro easily allied with krushkchev....but partially claimed he did because of “ what the US has done to them the past 60 years”.

I won't enquivocate though, you said the truth.

But somehow I believe the US is trying to cut Russia's power after the division of Soviet Union and the abrupt end of Cold War

The US knows that whoever wields a huge military force has a say in the world order and affairs. Russia is economically average or more or less salvaged, but her huge nuclear arsenals and equipped military give her a seat on the forefront with the determiners of the world order.
To push your ideology farther, you need a formidable military. Even if you're peacefully doing so, you still need Military capacity and stamina to withstand pushes or scare them off.
Every Authoritarian rule is a time bomb waiting to explode. God created the earth with creatures in it to play free roles. Nature itself is democratic. Even God allow man to make his choices, though the consequences is what he also bears after. The West know this, so they simply wait for authoritarian systems to start shaking. Usually its either some groups get fed up of the man in power due to long periods of rule or he comes up with a decree that may not be okay with some minority..etc..
The moment the in fighting begins, the US steps in and supplies the factions with firearms and the aim is achieved. People don't see this. They only know the US backed and sponsored rebels. Is this justified in any way if you ask me, No.
China is also sitting on a time bomb with the CCP. Its a matter of time. Rapid rise to rapid fall. Its not sustainable. I've read so many articles on this, but its a topic for another day.
So its simple to say the US fights Authoritarian influence, whenever it starts increasing. They also fight religious extremism that threatens human security. This resolve become more firm after September 11.

Looking plainly at Ukrain joining NATO, its an unfair advantage for the US, but Russia is not just doing this because of NATO. Its just an excuse from Putin to work out some laid scripts.
