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.
Bros wetin you smoke?

Why should NATO intervene or send even a single catapult to Ukraine?

Ukraine is not a NATO member and NATO have zero obligation or responsibility towards non members.

If Russia is suspended from being a member of the UN Security Council, it means that Russia can take unilateral decision and action on any issue. Europe, US, Canada, Australia and Israel will cry blood if Russia decides to go solo.
No mind that matter, Nothing will happen to Russia’s UN Security Council membership.

But, being a member does not exclude one from acting unilaterally. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia is a unilateral decision.

Stop lying and take corrections. First apart the Americans removed their missiles from turkey and left the ones in western europe not Eastern Europe. Secondly you claimed there was no count down, is an ultimatum not a countdown? the file photo from the article and the article supports my assertions. Again, it was not a face off between the US and Russia, the soviets were the players then. And the blockade was not targeted at the soviets but Cuba. Lastly you ask how many people died in the Cuban missile crisis, my answer is no one because soviet leader chose diplomacy. Thesame diplomacy zelensky rejected by refusing to implement the Minsk agreement his nation and three other nations signed. His reason were 1) His government did not negotiate the Minsk agreement rather poroshenko did, 2) He wants a brand new agreement simply because he needed time to amass enough weapons to crush the donbass rebellion 3) He was egged on. If he had implemented the already made Minsk 2 agreement his country negotiated, there would have been no war.

https://www.history.com/topics/cold-war/cuban-missile-crisis
Yes, it was with the Soviet and not Russia. The ultimatum was to remove the missiles stationed in Cuban or they will be destroyed and not that they will go to war with Cuban or release the Nuclear bomb as you claimed.

Castro also refused to listen to Kennedy just like, Zelensky refused to listen to Putin; Kennedy did not as a result matched troops and tanks into Cuban and show Castro who the ‘Boss’ is.

Both parties, the Separatists and Ukraine refused to abide by the Minsk Agreement, it was a bilateral agreement and not what one side can implement in isolation and the other side continues to violate, the history about both parties violation of that agreement is there for all to read.

An America Spy plane was shut down over Cuban killing an America pilot, who was the only casualty during the Cuban missile crises and yet America showed restrain and did not retaliate against Cuban by raining hell fire missiles over them. Imagine what would have happened if Zelensky shot down a Russia spy plane few weeks ago?

Soviet Union only started negotiating when their incoming ships in the sea with more missile parts destine for Cuban were blocked by the America Naval blockade and seeing America resolve to into full war….They did not do it, because they choose diplomacy, it was an outcome forced on them, because both parties saw clearly that outside a diplomatic resolution, they are both going into all out Nuclear war between them.

Yes, Cuban was the ‘straw man’ or the prop during the Cuban missile crises, just like Ukraine is today and Castro refused to listen to Kennedy just like Zelensky refused to listen to Putin; those not withstanding US ignored Cuban and faced the Soviet squarely because they know that is the Soviets are their major problem and not Cuban and at the end of the day, the agreement signed to avert the crises was between the US and the Soviet and the eventual establishment of the ‘Hotline’ was between both countries, Cuban did not sign anything nor was it a party to anything done to avert the crises.

Even till today, Cuban is still hostile to the US and there are many restrictions & skirmish between both Governments, but the US is still managing the situation as a true Super Power and till leaving side by side.

My point in all these is; Russia true problem is not Ukraine or Zelensky, it is with NATO and the US….they would have faced up with the US & NATO directly and effectively be able tamed Ukraine & Zelensky just like US is taming Cuban, all these can be done diplomatically.

For starters all 30 members of NATO must vote Yes for Ukraine to be admitted, so all Russia needed was to convince one member country from voting Yes…and even before this war and one of the major reasons Ukraine has not yet been admitted into NATO is because about 27 NATO member countries are standing in their way, which means even before this war, the chances of Ukraine becoming a member despite their wishes is slime to none, so why March into Kyiv?
Foreign AffairsRe: UK Government Lobbying Hard To Cut Russia Off From SWIFT by linearity: 3:13pm On Feb 25, 2022
pansophist:
The more you block countries off swift, the more the usability of dollar is weakened, and countries finds an alternative around it, which further
declines the dollar as the world reserve currency. Countries still trade within themselves bypassing swift such as the EU and Iran for example.
Bros, SWIFT at it’s simplicity is just a secure messaging platform used by member banks to exchange financial transactions on behalf of themselves or their customers, how is cutting Russia off going to affect the dollar?

If I walk into my Bank in Lagos and want to send a wire transfer to my business partner in Russia, they will convert my Naira to Russia Ruble and send a SWIFT message to my customer bank in Russia using the SWIFT code or through an intermediary bank if my customer bank does not have a direct relationship. After their checks is done, my customer account will be credited and they will be able to ship my goods?

How that one come take concern dollar?

Cutting Russia off means, since all the countries in the world do not have a full merged network ie one to one network connection with each other, but route messages through one another until it gets to the final destination….all SWIFT members will be asked to blacklist Russia banks SWIFT codes, preventing messages from reaching Russia or from Russia banks going outside.

The only think I see is, blocking them from SWIFT give boost to the crypto currency market especially bitcoin as more customers will flock their to make their transfers, but Russia like China having been fighting against crypto.
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Ezekiel Atang Dies After Ignoring His Health Challenge (Photos, Video) by linearity: 12:50pm On Feb 25, 2022
Wilddove:
Death is not the end of man's life, it's simply the crossing over from this realm to the other realm. It's not how long we live but the grace to contuine living in eternity after this life.
his death is not an evidence that there is no God but rather that; there is time for everything, time to born and time to die.
death is inevitable, we all owe the debt and once the time is due we answer the clarion call. Jesus lived only for three decades, personally i don't even want to live that long once i fufill the task given to me let God take me. The man has fufilled his God given mandate and has transcend to the other side to give account. Pls. Repent now that you have time, tomorrow might be too late.
What the Pastor had was a classic sign of heart attack, if he had driven to the Hospital instead of the Church, he may have still been alive today to preach more of God’s Gospel.

All you are talking above are belief system, there are a thousand and one belief systems all over the world today with each telling us that, their way is the right, genuine and only way to God.

The problem and confusion with this is, majority of the 7 billion plus people on earth today, had no choice on the belief system they are practicing at the moment, which they claim is the only way.

Their belief system was chosen for them before they were born, either due to the geographical location of the world they were burned in or their parentage, tribe or creed.

If there is God and He is loving and He is fair, I doubt he will send good portion of 7 billion people to Hell fire over what they had no control over.

Plus, remember that it is called ‘belief’ or ‘believe’ because no one can prove it, no one know it, no one have died, gone to heaven or hell came back and tell us.

As long as you are a believer, know that you are also accepting that, you don’t know, but you are taking a leap of faith and trusting that, what you believe is truth.

If you know something, then it is no longer belief….e.g. I know that the sky is blue, you don’t believe that the sky is blue, you just know it.

Also, I believe Russia will win the war against Ukraine. Which means, I don’t know if Russia will win, but going by their firepower, I believe they will win, but remember that, there many unknowns in that belief system that might negate the believe that I have today and reverse it.

Therefore next time you talk about God, Heaven, Hell, Divinity just profess them from a belief standpoint just like the Bible admonishes and not from a standpoint that you know them to be facts and absolute.

The truth is, it is not defamation if it is true.

Defamation cases are the hardest to win by public officials, if the defendant are learned and willing to fight back.

Defendants are entitled to discovery from the person claiming to have been defamed in other to prove their case. They are also entitled to depose them under oath and no public official will want that, especially in Nigeria because their hands are not clean and they don’t know which of their shady businesses will come to light if the process take it”s course.

So, at some point if faced with a formidable defendant that is not falling for the intimidations, they will cut their loses and abandon the case to die naturally.

Yes, but joining NATO is just by wishing, otherwise Ukraine would have been a member by now.

There four strict requirements:
1. Must be a democratic Government.
2. Must reduce corruption to a particular index measured internationally.
3. Must be able to to contribute to NATO forces.
4. Must be accepted by all member countries now about 30.

Ukraine is only cleared on item 1 above….hence his call to 27 NATO member countries were meet with silence.

Lol, your last statement, why did the US encircle Cuba and not also take the fight to the Soviets lol? Tell me the difference between rolling in tanks and using your navy to surround a sovereign nation and threaten a nuclear war on them if those missiles were not removed? That case was even worse, for the second time, the world was on the brink of another nuclear war simply because the US does not want Soviet missiles in their backyard. Go back and read about the events again, the naval blockade was implemented not just to cut off the Soviets, but to enforce a count down for the missiles to be removed else they would invade Cuba and use nuclear missiles if need be. Such was the resolve of Kennedy’s government.
You are paraphrasing History, you don’t need a Naval blockade to initiate any count down.

The Cuban missile crisis was a direct face off between US and Russia period!

The Naval blockade was to prevent Russia from shipping more missiles parts into the Island and there was a face off at sea between the US and Russia ships when the Russia ships tried to breach the blockade, the Russia ships were stopped at sea.

Yes, the US threaten all out war but there was no count down to any Nuclear war, you are just adding that to your narrative. The other option that Kennedy was considering was bombing the missile sites in Cuban to destroy them if Russia didn’t remove them, Russia eventually agreed to remove them and US removed their Nuclear missile sites in Turkey, leaving the ones in East Europe.

You are asking about the difference? How many died during the Cuban missile crises vs now? How many humanitarian crises were they? Also just like during the missile crises, Russia have now threatened a Nuclear war, if anyone stop their murderous campaign in Ukraine so the world is also now at the brink of a Nuclear face off….you must be myopic or just want to win some baseless internet arguments.

You that know so much, go and read what led to the Cuban missile crisis. When Cuba willingly decided to host Soviet missiles. This same hipocritical US imposed a naval blockade on Cuba and threatened nuclear war unless the missiles were removed.
Some similarities, but lots of differences that are obvious but you are ignoring.

The US did not roll armored tanks into Cuba and start raining hellfire missiles on poor Cubans killing thousands and annexing part of Cuban land to America.

The US simply implemented a Naval blockade cutting off the Russians and they were very effective, Russia tucked it’s tail behind it’s back and ran.

In this case, because Russia is suffering from inferiority complex, they want to run over poor Ukraine simply because Ukraine rejected them and instead want to be friends with NATO.

If Russia is that powerful, they should have implemented a Navel blockade and take it directly to NATO since that is where their gross is, and the poor country of Ukraine out of it.

Azzholes crowd mentality.

Morally, it's indecent to kill other people but regardless, you have to go to war or be besiege by the enemy and then be submissive to the enemy.

NATO has continued to violate the agreement made with Russia/UN in 1990 not to expand in Europe as this will make Russia feel threatened for thier own security. NATO has violated that agreement 14 times since 1990 and now have reached Russia's door-step which is Ukraine.

At the time of that initial agreement; Putin was a spy and intel officer for the now dissolved soviet union and withnessed everything.

Now you telling the man to calm down and let the West take over his territory front-line over some silly NATO alliance and then claim world dominace.

The last straw for Ukraine was when thier President declared he would make Ukraine a nuclear nation again after he joins NATO — and you expect Putin to sit back and watch that happen?
Speak only of what you know, there was no such agreement between NATO and Russia or in the UN, if there were Putin will be quoting it right and left as his justification.

I challenge you to post a link containing such a UN/NATO/Russia agreement or resolution, because if it exists, it will just be a google search away.

So I'll advice if you ask for a remote opportunity with the company, since it's obvious you're intrested in increasing your financial power
Completely ignore this idea!

Western countries are becoming more stringent in allowing legal immigration each passing day, any opportunity you get to jappa today, don’t delay it a minute longer, ask those who delayed their immigration all over the world until Trump came into office.

4K pound/monthly after tax is not too great and it is not too bad, you will find many earning lower than you and it is more or less a stepping stone to better IT jobs, your employers know this and they wouldn’t even keep you at that level for too long else they will lose you to their competition right next door.

And as soon said earlier, you may be doing this for your extended family. Yes, it is possible that, UK is bad but you need to go experience it yourself, after all you can still come back to Nigeria if you don’t like it there.

The only different between me and you is that you sound and write beautifully while I might pass as a street tout but trust me I know more than the investment bankers in Wall Street or economist at Financial Times. This is what I breathe day in and day out. Everyone runs from me because of my strong conviction but they finally came around when I started making money off it. The United States dollar is backed by military aggression not trade or even oil. Without a bombing going on somewhere the United States economy will crumble. The US is ready to spend $100 trillion in destroying any country that goes against the petrodollar while neglecting urgent infrastructural needs. America will debate for a thousand years about writing off students loan, upgrading their infrastructure, free or affordable education but won't hesitate to spend $500 trillion this very minute to project military thuggery. America's strength and success don't lie in trade dominance but the barrel of a gun. Russia and China finally had enough and will seize that gun
It appear that, we are both aligning here.

Yes, I agree that the United State's defense spending is highly prioritized against all other departments in the US, but I disagree that, it is the huge defense spending that is probing the dollar.

Look at it this way...The huge US defense spending is prop up be deficit spending, many of the money borrowed on worth-less IOU notes that other countries, businesses, etc buys. I call the IOU notes worth-less, because they are all fiat money on paper.

If the US huge defense spending is prop up by the barrel of the gun, why are countries like China and Russia not able to float that same huge deficit defense spending to boost their defense? I think any country on earth would like to spend heavily on their defense if they can simply write some worthless IOU notes and get the money.

The reason that many countries can not do it like the US boils down to the trust other countries, businesses and individuals have in the America system, her democracy and stability.

People and business run for safety in time of chaos and also trust a true democracy, where they can have a recuse in the rule of law in that country. China and Russia are not democracies, The Chinese ruing party can wake up tomorrow and outlaw Alibabe or Bidu or divide up the company without allowing them a single day in court, how do you think that will bring confidence in the mind of the next investor who want stability. Same apply to Russia, opponents can be eliminated over night, opponent's businesses can be reduced to zero with a blink of an eye, how would anyone trust such a power.

Yes, America is ruthless and continues to fight wars all over, every single day....but, they have clearly made themselves a 'superpower' that people and countries will willingly align to and pledge alliance to.....Russia is trying to force people and countries to pledge allegiance to them through the barrel of the gun and zero goodwill....China is using her surplus money to buy good portion of Africa because of our worthless leaders e.g. the case of Zambia and very soon Nigeria, so they can make slaves out of these poor countries and become their 'superpower'....which of these superpowers will endure the test of time, the one to which majority of people flock to because of their open system and rule of law, or the ones that uses the gun and money to enslave their subject with zero rule of law?

Guns, bombs and huge defense budget can only win wars and battle; you need more than that to keep the peace and rule your subjects and keep them in compliance, and since no country can perpetually be in the state of war forever, when the bombs stop falling what next? The Russians learn that bitter lesson in Afghanistan in the 70s and recently the Americans learnt that in the same country.

Sorry sir, I must have hit a nerve ending somewhere!

GDP does not grow vacuum, go look up the component makeups of China’s GDP who their top export destinations are and percentage.

For the last few quarters China’s GDP has been growing at half the space of that of USA, meaning that their rate of growth is now hitting a ceiling.

We have seen this picture before; in the 1930s going by GDP growth, Germany was to become the world economy power house, we all know how that ended.

In the 1960s and 1980s USSR was to become another economic powerhouse, well we all know how that came crashing.

Now China is growing and you think the America institutions that punctured holes in those previous bubbles are sitting idle away.

These American instructions don’t boost, they don’t issue pre releases. To be a super power transcends the number of gun powder one possesses or economic stats.

The 2007 world wide Great Depression was triggered by subprime loans in America and one company going belly-under in the US, the cascading effect was felt worldwide including in China where more companies went under.

I am not saying that, America can’t be overtaken by an emerging super power, but it will take more that stats measured in fiat currencies to do that, because American tentacles have stretched far and wide that it will become challenging to undo them.

Russia banks have to load up on America dollars before the America Sanctions were announced because many Russians and companies abandon their local currency and buy dollar for safe haven….how are you a super power when your people will not even trust your currencies in the times of crises.

China’s have been buying real estates and investments in the US with part of their trade surpluses, instead repatriating 100% of that money back to China….and they load up on US dollars against yarn to artificially suppress the yarn exchange rate.

I can go on and on, how this will be huge lift for China, but I am already preaching to the choir, so no need.

Because of this action, more former USSR break-out countries want to join NATO in order to be protected against Russia aggression and Russia have not dare touched any NATO country in Europe for fear of retaliation...Europe have sent more forces to former NATO countries for protection.

Gradually Russia is been isolated.....Russia miscalculated, they initially thought that, this will be USA vs Russia face off, but Biden outsmarted Putin and made it The World vs Putin...something Trump would have never achieved, because Trump had started dismantling NATO for Putin to have a free ride.

Russia is a very small economy, it will not withstand a sustained economic squeeze from all around, very some the oligarchies within Russia will start feeling the squeeze and not able to enjoy their previous lavish lifestyle will start fracturing from within and Putin will have both internal and external issues to deal with.

Had Trump being the US President today, there would have been a momentary win for Putin, but with an Opposing force in Washington DC, Putin will soon run out of steam and will call soon crawl back to Washington DC with his tails behind him calling for bi-lateral talks.
