One of Vladimir Putin's primary concerns and publicly stated reasons for invading Ukraine was the potential for Ukraine to join NATO and host US military bases.

Putin has long been opposed to NATO's expansion into Eastern Europe, and Ukraine's potential membership in the alliance was seen as a significant threat to Russia's national security. He argued that Ukraine's membership in NATO would lead to the deployment of US and NATO military forces, including missile defense systems, on Russia's borders.

Putin has repeatedly stated that Russia would take steps to protect its interests and prevent the deployment of US and NATO military forces in Ukraine. The invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was, in part, an attempt to prevent Ukraine's further integration with NATO and the potential deployment of US military bases.

So, to answer your question, Putin was indeed strongly opposed to the idea of the US building military bases in Ukraine, and this was one of the factors that contributed to the invasion!

Why are you asking me all these questions...?

Do you have Internet?

brain54:
I said a referendum was conducted in the Crimea region agreeing to annexation to Russia

brain54:
Are we talking about Nigeria here...?

I said a referendum was conducted in the Crimea region agreeing to annexation to Russia and you are mentioning Cameroon and Biafra. It's exactly why I won't waste my time typing or disseminating any information because I don't want to waste my time explaining to ignorant people that would still not understand.

brain54:
If invading that sovereign country guarantees Russia's own sovereignty...

Russia didn't invade for the fun of it did they?

Putin's reasons for war with Ukraine are genuine.

His actions were defensive. The best form of defense sometimes is attack.

Read up the reasons the war started in the first place.

Like I said, Russia is only defending it's sovereignty!

There's no state civil service in Nigeria that can stand toe to toe with that of Lagos state. The reform was done by Tinubu. You can fact check me on this. And I'm not a fan of Jagaban. Let's be objective in our criticisms

Yemmysworld91:
No state civil service in Nigeria can match that of Lagos. I maintain that. It's even obvious in the administration.

Yemmysworld91:
Not necessarily all, but tangible few. No state civil service in Nigeria can match that of Lagos. I maintain that. It's even obvious in the administration. I repeat, I'm no fan of Tinubu

Slytiger:
100 per ent true. For the 1st time in several decades, Nigeria is being ran like it's done in saner climes.

JASONjnr:
Where's the lie?

Apparently, Tinubu is best thing to happen to Nigeria if not for political sentiments and people who were rejected and they grieved to form a coalition without ID card and registered members.

Did PITI OBI turn Anambra state to even common Lagos standards, talk less of the big countries he likes comparing 9ja to

Explain what you mean by needless wars...

The wars both (are) fought/fighting aren't even similar. Stalin's wars were expansion based. Putin's war started as defensive to protect Russia's territory even though the objective of the war may have shifted from the initial plans.

In any case both aren't needless wars, especially Putin's!

1. When Tinubu was Governor, I benefitted from his education subsidy as a student of LASU.

2. Secondly, I currently sell properties around LFTZ and LFTZ was created by tinubu. A plot of land sold for around #1m in 2014 when i started living here on the Island. Today, it sells above #20m per plot.

Calculate how much I make from selling plots of land every month. You can add the money I make from giving out short let apartments.

damoobaba:
And you will never benefit from anything that Tinubu has done so far. And if you continue to go against Tinubu, nothing that Tinubu does will ever benefit you.

Thats why many of your parents ended poor, they keep insulting EVERY GOVERNMENT while others are taking advantage that every government policy.

Abeg rest! The population of one local government alone in Lagos is almost the population of many of the states we have in Nigeria. By logic, I believe you should understand better now

sparko1:
If you can't tell the difference between an individual report and an organization overall growth outlook for a period, I don't see how much help an explanation can do.

The question I asked was, if Peter Obi is convinced the economy is handled badly, what does he propose to do differently, it's easy to say everything is bad, but if that is everything you can say, then there's no point replacing the person there.

Give us a practical demonstration of a proven economy plan that will turn everything around in 3 years, and before you open your mouth, make sure you understand, once you say it and you get it wrong, you only vote comes from beer parlor gang, and maybe the unintelligent angry youth.

Budget: $11–13 billion

2. Cairo-Cape Town Highway, a 10,228 km Cairo-Cape Town Highway

Budget: $1.65 billion

Once, bonuses were peanuts.
Super Eagles cried, “No pay!” — threatening strike before the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, fearing their $30k-per-player bonus wouldn’t be paid.
Nigerians dragged the government online, and it took presidential intervention to resolve the crisis.

Then the Super Falcons shouted, “Too small allowance/bonus compare to Eagle!” — their $23k allowances in 2016 was claimed to be too small by Nigerians. And Nigerians demanded, “Pay them like the Eagles — they’ve brought more glory!”

Fast-forward: the government pays big $100k.
Now Nigerians complain, “Too much for ordinary players!” and they compare footballers to doctors, lecturers, and soldiers.

Moral: "Nigerians are Nigerians and you can never satisfy Nigerians"

Ease of doing business has nothing on the economic reforms!!!

Buhari's govt was a disaster we were sure was going to happen. With these reforms in place, in the next 5 years Nigeria'#s economy will be better than all of the African countries economy combined together.
