People from the west, keep typing and sympathizing for Zelensky, and Ukrainians from their comforts of their warm bedrooms while the comedian keeps asking for more weapons to make sure the fight even goes on for more than 10 years grin. It seems the comedy king does not even realize that his country is gonna be a pile of rubble by the end of the war.
Ask any European, they'd tell you that they would keep giving Ukraine weapons to fight Russia even to eternity. Same people who will tell you that a direct confrontation with Russia should be avoided at all costs but they are willing to use zombies from Ukraine as proxy.

Foreign Affairs / Ukraine Is Losing Heavily From Conflict With Russia by MangekyoAlt: 12:20am On Apr 25, 2022
The politician who tried and failed to make peace with Hitler, ex-British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, said, “In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers.” He was right. All the world is certain to lose from Russia’s unnecessary war on Ukraine.

The biggest loser is Ukraine itself. Towns and villages have been destroyed, thousands of civilians and soldiers have been killed or wounded, four million civilians have become refugees, six million are internally displaced, the country’s farmland and manufacturing plant have been devastated, and its economy has been wrecked. The damage and destruction inflicted on Ukrainian infrastructure is estimated at $60 billion at this point.

While there has been a surge in Ukrainian nationalism and solidarity, this could dissipate in the medium-to-long-term and create friction and tension within the society. Right-wingers, who set an aggressive tone as Russia deployed along Ukraine’s borders, could be blamed and targeted for setting the country on the warpath by refusing to drop Kyiv’s insistence on joining Nato, the longstanding casus belli for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, television comic turned domestic and global war “hero,” is likely to see his credibility and popularity at home and abroad shrink dramatically.

At the outset of the Russian troop build-up, he rightly and bravely warned US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson not to hype the situation as Ukraine’s economy was suffering from war-talk. Nato’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg joined the war claque with the aim of injecting life into the moribund alliance.

Biden and Johnson, who were facing serious domestic political challenges, did not heed Zelensky’s pleas and ignored his readiness to negotiate a deal with Putin which would mean formally renouncing Ukraine’s application to join Nato and forging deals to recognise Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the autonomy or independence of the Donbas region. If this conflict is going to end, Zelensky could have to revert to the political status quo ante after Ukraine has been devastated physically and economically. Ukraine’s economy could shrink by 35-45 per cent this year.

Consequently, Zelensky would no longer be regarded as a hero but would be seen as a newcomer to politics who misread Putin and precipitated a war Ukraine could never win. He would lose support in Ukraine while, on the international scene, he would be castigated for propelling the world into a crisis caused by soaring food and fuel prices.

Putin is already a loser in the politico-military front. The Russian armed forces have not only failed to defeat Ukraine’s army but have also committed crimes against humanity and war crimes by attacking and abusing Ukrainian civilians. The Western-dominated International Criminal Court has already begun investigations into the behaviour of Russia’s troops with the aim of prosecuting those responsible for violations of international law.

If Putin is charged, he would be the first head of state of a major power to face prosecution.

However, Western leaders may be reluctant to go this far. Although Putin would refuse to appear before the court or a special tribunal set up for the Ukraine war, charging him would set a precedent which could lead US and other Western leaders to face prosecution for war crimes. The first should be former US President George W. Bush for his 2003 unprovoked aggression against Iraq. His partner in crime, ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair, should be next in the dock.

Whatever Putin’s fate, Russia cannot be isolated and sanctioned forever. Despite punitive sanctions, Russia has managed better than Ukraine since the war began. The Financial Times (FT) predicts the Russian economy could shrink by 10 per cent this year. Inflation is currently falling and the domestic banking sector has stabilised. While Moscow cannot access $630 billion in foreign currency reserves in Western banks, Russia earned more than $1 billion plus a day in March from energy exports. This could eventually compensate for the seizure of the reserves.

The European Union depends on Russian oil and gas which cannot be replaced easily or quickly and the oil exporters cartel (OPEC+Russia) has vowed not to replace Russian exports if Europe breaks contracts with Russian firms. Furthermore, Moscow has already pivoted East where India and China are keen on increasing imports from Russia, particularly if they receive discounts.

Russian gas, oil, and coal are not the only exports on which the international community relies. Russian exports of nickel account for 49 per cent of the world’s total, palladium, 42 per cent, diamonds 33 per cent, aluminium 26 per cent, and platinum 13 per cent.

Bans on Russian commercial flights have deprived Russians of holidays abroad and destination countries of millions of dollars in revenue while Russian ships have been barred from Western ports, disrupting the flow of global trade.

Western exports to Russia and bans on Western companies operating there are denying Russians luxury goods, fast food, and Starbucks coffee while branches of Russian banks cannot operate in Western countries and many Russian banks cannot access the SWIFT transfer mechanism, creating obstacles to international commerce.

Meanwhile, the denial of Russian (and Ukrainian) grain to customers has pushed up the price of bread in his region and Africa and the absence of Russian fertiliser is harming farmers across the globe and boosting the price of vegetables, fruit and meat. The World Bank predicts a 37 per cent rise in the cost of essential food, which is unbearable for the poor in most countries.

While the Russian economy is neither as large or as vibrant as it could be, its absence cannot be tolerated in the long term if the interdependent global system is to be maintained.

Having stoked the fires of war, Biden and Johnson are also losers. Despite his engagement in Ukraine’s war effort, Biden’s overall approval rating has sunk to 38 per cent with 53 per cent disapproving of his performance. Only 35 per cent approve his handling of the economy – which is beset with a rising cost of living due to inflation and higher petrol prices – and a mere 40 per cent approve of his conduct in the Ukraine war, with 49 per cent disapproving.

Johnson has fared worse. His approval rating is 30 per cent with 51 per cent disapproving while the Ukraine crisis has ceased diverting public attention from partying during strict COVID lockdown at his offices and residence. Like Biden, his popularity depends on the cost of living crisis.

Finally, the European Union (EU) has lost its comfortable policy of coexisting with Russia and its members have had to come together to confront Moscow by providing Ukraine with weaponry and imposing destructive and disruptive sanctions. So far, the EU has maintained its unity and solidarity with Ukraine but when the war winds down and EU leaders jump off the bandwagon, personal political and national economic interests could assume priority, particularly if EU citizens find themselves taxed with the costs of providing for Ukrainian refugees and rebuilding that country.

The only winners of wars are profiteers and arms manufacturers.

Foreign Affairs / I've Had Enough Of US, Western Hypocrisy by MangekyoAlt: 6:42pm On Apr 22, 2022
Whatever happened to a Nation being free to "choose" its "allies" and self determination, as the west have always emphasized on the current crisis? China and Solomon island both agreed to sign a security pact and the USA and Australia are rattling about, accusing China of taking advantage of the island to sign a pact with them in other to have access to building military bases there. How does that even concern them? Meanwhile, how does it concern them? Or is it that they're suffering from the same "paranoia" they've accused Vlad Putin of suffering from?
Because according to these European countries, the NATO alliance building military bases at Russian doorstep should be of no concern to Russia, and that Ukraine is free to choose its allies, and partners........ however they always put it undecided does that not apply to Solomon island and those who choose to align with the rivals of USA? Because apparently, these are the exact European countries now pressuring Solomon island to abandon their decision to sign a pact with China. If this isn't utter bullying, then I wonder what is. The west reeks of hypocrisy and I've had enough of them. Clearly!

Mr Seun, this question is directed to you, but anyone is free to answer. Is solomon Island not a sovereign nation capable of making her own decisions without fear of external threats, pressure or interference? If yes, why the hell are they under pressure from the west to abandon their ties with China? The sad part is that some people in Australia and USA have even started calling for the crippling of their economy and govt either politically or militarily.
Honestly I fear that the US, would as usual, unleash rounds upon rounds of ammunition on them, since they aren't looking like succumbing to their demands.

Foreign Affairs / Russia Slaps Sanctions On Mark Zuckerberg, Others by MangekyoAlt: 5:01pm On Apr 21, 2022
The Facebook mogul is among 29 US politicians, executives and media figures blacklisted by Moscow

Responding to US sanctions against Russian government officials and their family members, Moscow has sanctioned 29 US citizens, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Vice President Kamala Harris. They are banned from entering Russia indefinitely.

[b] The “executives, businessmen, experts and journalists who shape the Russophobic agenda, as well as the spouses of a number of high-ranking officials” are being banned in response to anti-Russian sanctions affecting families of officials, scientists, cultural and business figures, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

In addition to Zuckerberg, Moscow has blacklisted LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky, as well as the presidents and CEOs of military industry giants Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, L3 Harris Technologies, Leidos, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Aerojet Rocketdyne. Shipbuilder Huntington Ingalls Industries and drone-maker AeroVironment have also been sanctioned. The director of the Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies and the president of the Bank of America were also on the blacklist.

Moscow also sanctioned US politicians and their spouses, starting with Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff, White House Chief of Staff Ronald Klein, State Department spokesman Ned Price, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks, vice-chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Christopher W. Grady, and the deputy health secretary, listed as “Richard/Rachel Levine.”


Russian sanctions also named Evan Ryan, spouse of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Margaret Goodlander, wife of National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Both hold posts in the Biden administration, Ryan as the White House cabinet secretary and Goodlander as an adviser to the Justice Department. Robert Kagan, husband of Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, rounds off the sanctioned spouses list.

Bringing up the rear are media personalities the Foreign Ministry accused of “shaping the Russophobic agenda.” These include ABC host George Stephanopoulos, Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, CNN analyst Bianna Golodryga, as well as “Meduza” editor Kevin Rothrock, along with two experts from the Woodrow Wilson Center and the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center think tanks.[/b]

Further sanctions announcements can be expected in the near future as countermeasures against the hostile actions of US authorities, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

Russia has already sanctioned Blinken, Sullivan, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley, CIA Director William Burns, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, as well as President Joe Biden himself and his son Hunter. They were put on Moscow’s blacklist in mid-March, in response to US sanctions.

You are totally right. Why send in troops into some dark tunnels that Ukrainian troops have littered with booby traps and set up defensive positions in when you know you can just leave them to starve to death or when you know you just have to sit out and they'll surrender since they no longer have access supplies? No matter how highly trained troops are, hundreds will die the moment they step into that bunker. It's like going to fight the devil in his domain.
The war isn't over. So many of those troops can be diverted to other fronts so Putin is a good strategists for giving the orders he gave

seunny4lif:
They are hiding in a nuke bunker meaning it’s a waste of time bombing it because it was built by USSR to withstand all kind of bombs and since no supplies can get to that plant then either those guys dead inside or they come out by themselves after foods runs down.
What we don’t know is how long can the foods and water already in the plant last, 6M or 1 year.
I read reports that Russia can just connect pipe from the black sea and flood the bunker since that is where all the Azov troops ran into. Or just use chemical weapon or roast them. But seems russia still cares about international law. So instead of sending troops into the huge tunnel, let them starve.
Russia should focus on other places now
Foreign Affairs / Re: Putin Is The Enemy, Not The Russian People by MangekyoAlt: 2:21pm On Apr 21, 2022
Just to highlight a few from the source
https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2000/mar/04/weekend7.weekend9

A shepherd, his father, his four children and his sheep were killed by a British or American aircraft, which made two passes at them. I stood in the cemetery where the children are buried and their mother shouted, "I want to speak to the pilot who did this."
Britain and the United States are still bombing Iraq almost every day: it is the longest Anglo-American bombing campaign since the second world war, yet, with honourable exceptions, very little appears about it in the British media. Conducted under the cover of "no fly zones", which have no basis in international law, the aircraft, according to Tony Blair, are "performing vital humanitarian tasks".
To the bolder Mr Seun, I think this is the exact same thing you're accusing the Russian media's of. No?

Just before Christmas, the department of trade and industry in London blocked a shipment of vaccines meant to protect Iraqi children against diphtheria and yellow fever. Dr Kim Howells told parliament why. His title of under secretary of state for competition and consumer affairs, eminently suited his Orwellian reply. The children's vaccines were banned, he said, "because they are capable of being used in weapons of mass destruction". That his finger was on the trigger of a proven weapon of mass destruction - sanctions - seemed not to occur to him.

These are the "saints" that scream war criminals. If anyone should be screaming war crime, it should be everyone but westerners. Honestly

Seun:

CNN and Fox News are lying. BBC of UK is lying. DW of Germany is lying. WION of India is lying. Wikipedia is lying. All European countries are lying. Canada is lying. Japan, South Korea, and all civilized democratic nations are lying. The only people telling the truth are the murderous dictator Vladimir Putin who said he wouldn't invade Ukraine and invaded them anyway, and the people he pays to lie on his behalf. Right?

CNN, Fox News, BBC, DW, etc are from countries in an alliance targeted at Russia. They're all mainstream media's of countries that kept expanding their alliance to Russia, undermining their securities. When one of these media's manufactured stories that Putin paid taliban to kill us troops in Afghanistan and also paid terrorists to kill us troops in Syria, all those media's you mentioned carried the obviously unverified news and made it accessible to all those who had access to their reports. It was only later that Some top USA officials later came out to say the news was just something they manufactured out of nowhere to make putin look bad. Do you think all those millions of people who read the fake reports from all those petty western media outlets who deliberately spammed the news everywhere despite its questionable authenticity, got to know that it was fallacy coined by shitheads from the west?
I can remember how NBC news claimed Trump signed a bill to increase stationery hardwares at us border with Mexico and Trump came out to ask NBC where they got the "source" because he doesn't recall signing anything like that. NBC was nowhere to be found to provide where on earth they got their source. Which is why Trump later went on to say that all American media outlets, Fox, CNN NBC, NYT, etc all, and I mean all, manufacture their sources out of thin air. The "Fake news" literally became the favorite phrase he used to describe these petty outlets.

Hahaha putin a murderous dictator? At least he doesn't hide under democracy to carry out his atrocities. Let me tell you a little secret. Obama invaded more countries that Putin has ever despite putin has been in office since 2001. Have you even read this: http://web.archive.org/web/20210727170921/https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/daniel-hale-drone-leak-sentence/2021/07/27/7bb46dd6-ee14-11eb-bf80-e3877d9c5f06_story.html take your time to.



The difference between Russian media and the free media in civilised countries is that free media is free to criticise the government. They are free to make fun of Joe Biden. They are free to call him a liar if he lies. Fox News channel is free to attack Joe Biden just as CNN was free to attack Donald Trump. But in Russia, China and other dictatorships, people can be arrested, tortured, jailed and killed for criticising the dictator. If what Russian mainstream media is saying is true, there is no law or force in the West that's stopping "western media" from reporting on those things. The reason why nobody takes Russian state media seriously is because they keep telling obvious lies, like saying that there's no war in Ukraine.

Let me first address the bolded. You claim people can criticize their govts in the west without being arrested? Well what happened to the protesters in Canada a few months ago? Oh yeah, they were all arrested and all the money they raised Confisticated by their own govt with Twitter banning the accounts they used to raise funds. Why? They protested against their own govt. If you aren't a black slave like most Youths in this country are, you should be asking Twitter why they supported the violent endsars protests in Nigeria but were quick to clamp down on protesters in Canada undermining their own govt. You should be asking why they deleted buharis post on their platform because it broke their "rule" but allowed people to call for the death of all Russian troops and politicians despite it also broke their rules. Dude, wake up! Sit up and ask...... Demand answers from amnesty international, UN, UK, USA on why they didn't all feel "Concerned" about the decisions of the Canadian govt to arrest and lock up all the protesters, undermining their freedom to protests.

The reason why nobody takes Russian state media seriously is because they keep telling obvious lies

Yes, the reason why people FROM THE WEST, please edit your comment to that. Seems youve even been brainwashed into thinking the west is the world grin the reason why PEOPLE FROM THE WEST don't take Russian reports serious is because they don't like the type of news that they report. The same can be said for the russians. The fact that you and people from the west keep cryiing that the Russian govt blocked the access of their citizens to their completely useless propaganda media outlets when clearly they were the first to ban all access to Russian ones, it goes to show that the Russian govt was right all along that these guys are supremacists who take others from subhumans.


Here is a Russian journalist who knows the truth. Listen to her:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iowx9WfrM0k

Truth about what? Govts do not care about truths. When USA invaded Iraq for her oil, though claiming they did because of intelligence that they had non existent WMDs, thousands of Americans spoke the truth. Yet these truths were brushed aside why their govt who claimed they were clearing Iran off terrorists and their supposedly WMD when in reality they were after their oil and gold.
Please take your time to read this thoroughly https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2000/mar/04/weekend7.weekend9
After reading, I would await your reply on this humble question.
American, and British leaders headed by Blair and Bush invaded Iraq, a sovereign nation on pretext of ridding them of their WMDs. Well it all happened to be lies coined by them to invade and have access to Iraqi gold and oil.
It's been reported that more than a million people died because of US and British invasion. Here comes my question. Did these so called truthful western media's tag Blair and Bush dictators, war criminals, and called fir his persecution as they are currently with Putin? Or (2), do you think US and coalitions invasion was actually better justified b that Russian invasion of Ukraine? Please answer these questions as quickly as possible


If the entire world says that the earth is round and they have videos and photos to prove it, and one person says that it's flat, who do you believe? If free media of the entire "West" has the same basic understanding of what's going on and Russia's own is different, Russia is lying.
You keep saying the entire world grin grin
I ask you again. Do you take the west for the entire world? Huh, do you?
If not, then give me reports from non US allies that give reports that are anti Russian, or similar to the ones we see from media's from NATO countries.

The Russian people have been brainwashed by their govt. All TV stations in Russia are owned and controlled by the state. The Internet is also censored because they use a search engine whose results are tampered with. So they don't have access to unbiased information about Putin. Nevertheless, a large fraction of their youths have been able to find the truth through social media and they don't support Putin's War. It is true that Russians have a high tolerance for hardships imposed on them by their leaders. I think the west underestimates this.
[/s]
You keep repeating and even copying and pasting propaganda from CNN, BBC and the likes..... Let me ask you since you claim the average Russian is brainwashed by the Russian govt by their "state run" media's.
Well, articles YOU read are published from the west, and not from neutral continents. You shouldn't even be saying this since it can also be attributed to you. You're all in the same shoes.

Think about this. ALL Russian media's were banned from YouTube, Twitter, Telegram, Facebook, etc and are being suppressed by Google. Yet you come here to claim the Russian govt is deliberately feeding her citizens with propaganda and cutting them off from accessing western media's who also ditch out propaganda. Do you think western media's also don't ditch out propaganda? Please this is a genuine question. I eagerly await your response to that honest question.

Also, How many Europeans, or let me use the word "westerners", actually take their time to read reports from Russian main stream media's? Near Zero. Reason? I assume, since you think, or rather you've been made to believe that all Russian media's are always ditching out propaganda, Europeans also think so, reason they probably don't dim their reports worth reading. This is cool. But you shouldn't come here to wail when Russians too, or the Russian govt say all western media's are always peddling fake news and propaganda when all you've done was say the same for them. Because that would make yall hypocrites and if it doesn't, then I sincerely wonder what!

So please stop! Stop thinkimg Russians would leave their media's to get the latest news update or report and go on to or be even allowed by the Russian govt to go on to read them from those extremely biased, hate-filled, one sided reports from the western mainstream media's, after'all, none of them depend on Russian media's for the breaking news. Meanwhile, Imagine Facebook braking their own rules by allowing people from around the world to call for the DEATHS of all Russian troops and politicians. If you actually think these guys are being honest with their reports and aren't ditching out propaganda out of hate of Russia to ramp up more anti Russian sentiment, then............ You're not as bright as most people actually think you are sorry to say

Pentagon outlines position on Russian missile test

The Sarmat ICBM test was not a threat and Moscow gave US advance notice, the Pentagon explained

The intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was a routine test and not a threat to the US, the Pentagon told reporters. It also did not come as a surprise, since Moscow notified the US in advance under the terms of the still-existing arms control treaty.

“Russia properly notified the US under its New Start treaty obligations that it planned to test this ICBM,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday afternoon, adding that the test was routine, and the US Defense Department deemed it “not a threat.”

The new missile was launched from the Plesetsk military cosmodrome on Wednesday morning, with Russian President Vladimir Putin calling it an “event of great significance” for the country.

“This truly unique weapon will strengthen the potential of our armed forces, reliably ensure the security of Russia from external threats and give pause to those who try to threaten us in the heat of frenzied aggressive rhetoric,” Putin said.

The new missile is able to penetrate all modern defenses, and will have no analog anywhere in the world for a long time, the Russian president added.

The test missile launched from Plesetsk and flew across the entire length of Russia, before touching down in the designated target area on the Kamchatka peninsula in the far east. The “Sarmat” is expected to complete trials by the end of this year, at which point it will officially enter service with Russia’s strategic missile forces.

Intended to replace the existing R-36 “Voevoda” silo-based ICBMs, the “Sarmat” can carry more weapons and can be fitted with the new hypersonic glider warheads, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement about the launch.

He was seen in a video conference with defence minister Sergei Shoigu - who had been rumoured to be sidelined.

Shoigu told the President: “Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief - preparations for the first flight test of the Sarmat missile system completed at the first state test cosmodrome in Arkhangelsk region."

O boy, see respect. Putin na #godOfWar mess with him at your own peril. There's a reason why the inspector general of the supposedly world sheriff call, Biden of the USA, call him a war crimal but can't order his men to go and arrest him as most law enforcers do hahaha.
But tbh, If Russia were to be another silly country, the USA would've carried out a coup in it already. Sleepy, floppy Joe even out of frustration and anger went off script in poland and claimed Putin should not remain in power.... trying to pass a message to Russia's oligarchs and generals that look "remove putin and we'll all return back to the tables". But it seems they underestimated the Russian people. Russians are people that hate foreign interference in their country. And according to Russians I've interacted with on reddit, they claimed even with the sanctions, majority of Russians who had positive or neutral feelings on the west have all rallied behind their strongman. Also, the fact that Russian billionaires who invested billions of their money in the west all had them seized/stolen but yet haven't slammed putin or pushed for his overthrowal out of frustration, actually goes to prove this point. Russians I know aren't like black Africans and snowflake Europeans. They have self dignity unlike these blacks Africans who see themselves as imferior. If you hit them with sanctions, they will hit you you BE IT IRRELEVANT OR NOT. They have given clown Boris Johnson a lifetime ban and I know say the thing go pain am. Theyve expelled hundreds of European diplomats in tit for tat moves and they do it with dignity. They replaced all those MacDonald Coca-Cola with locally made or even Chinese made ones. They taste less better than the real ones, but these guys don't care as western parasites think they would. They won't die from not having original MacDonald and other western products so bye bye to all who leave. If yall haven't noticed anything about Russians, above every other thing, mother Russia comes first for them. If you think you can humiliate them, they will in full unity teach you a few lessons you wouldn't forget in a hurry.

Russia will keep modernizing their conventional, cyber, cyberspace, chemical and thermonuclear capabilities. They will not be caught offguard. Having this new missile dubbed the most powerful missile in the world right now - capable of carrying more than 10 nuclear or high explosive conventional warheads is evident to that.

God bless Mother Russia
God bless Vladimir Putin

Russia's strong man vlamdir putin doesn't really understand how sanctions work, Sanctions are not short term weapons they are like cancer they eat and cause massive devastation to an economy, before u realize what is happening it has caused so much damage, this sanctions have more effects and grow more teeth after an accumulated period of time, The EU and NATO are bloodhounds and can sniff out when this sanctions and are ready to dish out more targeted sanctions, so it is too early to be giving a valedictory speech,
[/s]
Trash! This barrage of sanctions was actually meant to bring russia to its knees, pull out from Ukraine and beg for sanction relief.
But you have heard from putin that things have started to stabilize. You have seen the fact. The rubble bounced back from its all time low and instead of Russia to be the one to suffer from the effects of sanctions, those who ditched them out are!.
When the west sanctioned Russia for annexing Crimea, Russia went on to even make more profit the following year. They started working to be self sufficient and that is why they are able to survive these sanctions today. They have been preparing for this since half a decade now and by God's grace with the help of china and other important countries, Russia will even become stronger

Trash from western parasites. This is one of their attempts to woo us into giving them more free oil. The likes of Italy and Britain.

Exactly

But the worst part is any African nation that tries to make it own development technology and USA will be the first to bring them down


Because they know if we develop thru won't be getting free things that they get by proxy.

Africans actually love being slaves tbh. We keep giving them the impression that we are under their mercy and that we will always put their interest above ours.
Go and read about how they, the Europeans have now shifted their attention to us for oil and gas. Isn't this the perfect opportunity for us to demand that payment be made in our own local currencies?? Like reason it. At this moment, these parasites would even kneel down, beg us and even lick our asses because they obviously cannot do without oil. This is the best moment. Of course They will murmur and threaten us, but they will succumb Las Las as there are no alternative to Russian cheap gas.
If they choose to attack us for the oil, we can always call on the Chinese and russians to supply us weapons to defend ourselves with.

Though some people out of their love for anything America, have refused to see that America is the number one bully in the whole world.

I love America too, and I will prefer them to remain powerful, but not with absolute power.


Because absolute power currupts in case you do not know.



If anyone think America is fighting for Ukraine, they are deceiving themselves.
America is fighting to destroy the only country, that's preventing them from having absolute power. The military might of Russia is of great concern.

America practice democracy at home, but on the international stage, they practice dictatorship. They have little or no respect for the UN, they have even threatened the UN and its affiliates on numerous occasions.

America respects sovereignty of a nation, for as long as the nation is serving their interests. Once you fall out of line, and you refuse to fall back in line...... Forget it.

A unipolar world is dangerous for everyone of us.

God bear me witness. I used to love America alot before, and for most times wished for them to remain world power forever.
But then, as an average Nigerian youth, I didn't actually know about their history and didn't care to..... Just continued dickriding them and defending them as slaves do.
But once I started reading about their history, I got to know of Vietnam, Laos, Iraq, Lybia, Yugoslavia, Syria and all other countless countries they bombed for no reasons.
Now I know all bombings they carried out were utterly ruthless and criminal, but the two that brought tear to my eyes were Iraq and Laos. Let me start with Laos.
For almost a decade more bombs were dropped on Laos by the satanic USA, than all bombs dropped in WW2 combined, giving Laos the title of the most bombed country in the entire world , killing more than 350000 people. The bombing left over 80 million unexploded bombs that have killed over 50,000 people since the war ended.

Cambodia also, was bombed more than Japan was during WW2 and estimates put the deaths at around 150,000 dead from US bombings. Meanwhile, elaborating on Cambodia would be for another day.

I was watching some commentaries of USA's invasion of Iraq documentary on YouTube, and saw how US and British troops murdered innocent people and bombed hundreds of civilian while terming them collateral damage.

Infact just take your time to read this article https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2000/mar/04/weekend7.weekend9
And see the atrocities of USA and Britain in iraq with no one condemning them.. Same murthafuckas who are the biggest perpetrators of war crimes are calling the russians war criminal. Thunder fire them.

I used to wish America remained world power but not anymore. The world should be multipolar since its now become obvious that these clowns have always been power drunk with people just realizing it now. Idk if Chinese/Russian leadership end up becoming worse, but the most part these two countries have never threatened Africa since God created us, unlike the west who have been milking us dry and blocking our developments, supporting terrorists here just to hang on to our natural resources

Vicotex:

Go and charge him.
Abi na grin they keep screaming "War Criminal" in every thread lord Putin is mentioned.
Meanwhile, what do you do with a criminal? No be to arrest, charge him to court and persecute him? So instead of wasting time and energy into wailing, they should probably start inviting putin to bring himself to them otherwise they will go into the Kremlin and drag him out like a common criminal let's see if they won't sleep and wake up in Russian dungeons the following day asking how they got there grin

He's a war criminal
Apart from Trump, ALL, and I mean ALL ex American presidents were war criminals.

Putin does NOT give a fućk about international laws as they were made by the west.

Meanwhile, instead of wailing, channel your energy into pressuring the commander abi inspector General of the supposedly world sheriff, Biden of the USA, to go and arrest the war criminal let's see if Russian troops won't bomb his skull grin
Or you can go and arrest him yourself. Na for here we go watch how them splatter your brain matter everywhere grin grin
