Biden: "I've committed that by 2020, we will have conserved 30% of all the lands and waters..."

Why the constant embarrassment?

I pray he wins the next election.

Calling it a failure was political. Republicans just wanted to score a cheap point forgetting Trump reached the agreement.

How could have the IS failed in Afghanistan? They could occupy Afghanistan for as long as they wanted.

And note, Afghan was never an all out warfare. It was just people hiding and coming to attack once a while.

Same does not apply to Ukraine, it’s an all out war with uniformed soldiers and Russia still struggling and same time losing soldiers like flys

It seems you forgot the purpose of this discourse.
I'm not taking the route of drifting from one topic to another without a logical conclusion of the previous with you.
You equate the war in Ukraine with that of Afghanistan which i refute on the bases that those Talibans can not be compared to this Ukrainians in terms of training, weaponry, intel and lots more.
If you agree with me it's okay, but if you don't I'm okay with it too, but i won't take the route of drifting from one topic to another with you.

SangoOlukosoOba:
Talibans did not come up with any tactics, Donald Trump planned and negotiated US force withdrawal from Afghanistan. Even the current leader was released by Trump. Taliban don’t stand a chance in even in their imaginations.

Same Russia fled Afghanistan! Oh! You won’t talk about that! 🤣


And come to think of it! America deployed in full capacity from North America to Middle-East and stilll stood their grounds for 2 decades.

Russia is just fighting a Neighbour and it is still struggling. A Neighbour it shares land boarders with 🤣 What excuse will give for such failure?

You don't listen to news hence your report.
Top military analyst, generals etc called it a failure.
American soldiers would still be in Afghanistan if the situation was favourable.
The goal was to destroy the Talibans, but after 20years, over 2trillion n spent no progress was recorded.

Yes trump met with the Talibans and what was discussed remain covert, but with the speed in which they ran home can simply be analysed and the meeting between Trump and the Talibans can very much be a peaceful withdrawal agreement between both parties.

SangoOlukosoOba:
So Russians are not dying and youths fleeing the country?

Remind please, how many Russian soldiers have been killed in the war? I want to compare it to what the US lost in 20 years of Afghan war. 🤣🤣🤣

The u.s and allies fought against a far inferior locals, goat headers, AK 47 user, toyota drivers the list goes on, but at the end of the day tactics is as essential as weaponry.

The Talibans came back with a far more impressive tactics called guerilla warfare.

You call it agreement the world calls it a defeat, a humiliating one.
They became torns to the flesh of u.s soldiers, the u.s understood the war was not a victory for them so they ran home like headless chickens.
Let's wait till the Russians run out of Ukraine until will call it a defeat, but for now they are still the superior force and if the war continues like this it'll be a colossal loss for Ukraine. Something they experience during WW2.

WrriterNig:
⚡🇷🇺 Russians pulled up reserves and launched an active offensive between Lyman and Kupyansk.

Seems like this was unexpected and Ukrainians are in difficult situation.

It was reported before that 🇺🇦 Ukrainians abandoned several positions.

This is how an offensive is lunched, you don't film a commercial and expect a shock and awe on the battlefield.

Many of you might not notice this but those NATO trained soldiers of the AFU that got crushed during the initial phase of the counteroffensive shows that the u.s can't risk going to war with a near peer rival like Russia, because without airpower their ground force can't fight a modern army.
Even in Afghan whenever they face fierce resistance from the Talibans they're quick to call on air strikes.
Some folks here are quick to call them battle-hardened but you can't be a battle-hardened army when you've not faced a strong army let alone a near-peer one.

Except from nukes, in a war against the u.s, if you can deprive them of air supremacy you'll find out they're Nigerian soldiers on steroids with lots of resources and fire power.

The war in Vietnam validates my point.
After the introduction of Soviet SAMs, the u.s experienced a collosal loss of aircrafts , while on the ground the Vietnamese were dealing with them ruthlessly even when the Americans seem to have a higher firepower.
The war turned out to be a complete failure, not only because they met a dedicated and brutal opposition, but because their trump card which was air power met Soviet SAMs which resulted in a complete fiasco.

Putin is more transparent than i think.

You guys are right, Nairaland seems to have a lot of guys like @okeysoninv though, extremely delusion and time consuming people. Thank God there are people like you on nairaland who give sound advise.

I'm glad you comprehend quickly.

Stoplying:
Let us hope that you are right.

Iran will never back down from the nuclear race, if you think the wailing of Israel or the west will stop them, then you're wrong.

Iran on a league of his own, and once they get their hands on nukes, deterrence will be established in the M.E.
Nuclear deterrence is what keeps external powers away from home.
The only countries that can join the west to stop iran are Russia and china.
I guess by now it's visible to the blind that iran is an ally of Russia, so game over.
Any use of force will be catastrophic for the offender.

The USA, just like Nazi germany, doesn't implement its international agreements. I don't see the point of going into a long term international agreement with the USA, because even before the signing of the agreement, the USA already has plans ready to go around the agreement. Iran should not be fooled.

of course they won't be fooled.

bassdow:
I have repeatedly said this earlier. they're doing this already with Belarius, and the regions they recently took from Ukraine.

If they're saying this out loud, means they probably want to take things closer to polish land so more missles could land mistakenly in polish land

I'm enjoying this violence

HolinessForever:
The New York Times publishes details about the agreement being formed between the US and Iran

What will be required of Iran?

● Iran will agree not to enrich uranium beyond the 60 percent level. (but keep the amount that enriched)

● Iran will also stop the deadly attacks on American officials in Syria and Iraq by its affiliates in the region

● Iran will expand its cooperation with international nuclear inspectors

● Tehran will refrain from selling ballistic missiles to Russia

What will the US give in return?

● The US will refrain from tightening the sanctions

● The US will not stop foreign tankers carrying Iranian oil

● The US will not advance new punitive resolutions in the UN or the International Atomic Energy Agency against Iran for its nuclear activities.

And there is also a part in:

The US will release billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets for humanitarian purposes, in exchange for the release of three Iranian-American prisoners.

This agreement is meaningless.
It's like telling iran to stop pursuing her nuclear program for financial benefits.

I believe iran is not stupid enough to follow this path. it's not only absurd to think Iran with accept this but hilarious too.

Shoodboi:
Ukraine has more than Russia. It had 3. Russia had 2. Georgia had 1.

The West makes it appear as if Stalin was Russian. Most people don't even know he's Georgian. Crimea also belonged to Russia. It was one of the Ukrainian USSR rulers that handed it over to Ukraine.

I like your point.

It's even more ironic that the president of the ussr who handed Crimea to Ukraine was a Ukrainian.
And Crimea was home to Russia navy base which is as old as the u.s itself

stanluiz:
The donbass region which host the indigenous ethnic Russia people in Eastern Ukraine which Russia presently occupy belongs to Russia.

The land was given to Ukraine by the Soviet government in 1921 through the leadership of Vladimir lenin.

Eastern Ukraine belongs to the Russia federation the same with Crimea.

Factually, there's nothing like Ukraine as a country.
Russia owns Ukraine through annexation and by financial statements.

HolinessForever:
Kadyrov's right-hand man was eliminated.

The personal executioner of the head of Chechnya, was destroyed in the Zaporizhzhia region during a special operation by SOF of Ukraine in the deep rear of the enemy.

There's no honor in disinformation.

Wake up to reality and correct this bs.

WrriterNig:
⚡The Head of the 🇷🇺 Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov has announced that rumors regarding the Injury/Death of Commander for the “Kadyrovites” and Russian Politician, Adam Delimkhanov by a 🇺🇦 Ukrainian HIMARS Strike are False and that he has just spoken to him be Phone, further stating the reason he “Created the Rumors” was to show how much the Ukrainian Media will “Lie.”

I knew it was made up to discredit the Russians and also boost their falling morale.

But reality bites.

⚡President of 🇧🇾 Belarus Alexander Lukashenko says his country will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons if there is an 'aggression' on it.

This cannot be real

Weeks ago when Scott Ritter said Belarus is now a nuclear power i thought it was a joke.
I know the codes to those nukes are under Russia's control but i also saw a report where Belarus can use it when attacked.

⚡🇷🇺 Russian defence ministry 'seeks control' of infamous mercenaries.

The Russian ministry of defence is attempting to restrict the independence of the ☠ Wagner Group, military analysts have said.

The mercenary group's leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, said he received a letter instructing the group to sign up to MoD command and inform them of the makeup of his forces.

A member of the Russian state duma defence committee, Viktor Sobolev, said the MoD will not allow volunteers to fight without signing a contract with the ministry, which could effectively make it illegal for Wagner forces to operate in 🇺🇦 Ukraine, according to military blogger Mobilisation News.

This is commendable, Wagner has grown to be one of the best assault army of this modern era.
If rules are not set now, in the future they might become a problem to the mother land if infiltrated by external powers.
As for Prigozhin, i won't blame him that much because he knows nothing about military but he still carry a scar of immaturity with him.

Hotice085:
Ogbeni you are very very RUSSIA biased, you how Ukrainians are smoking out Pootins soldiers like barbeque yet your attention is more on reporting cheap Russian news both on and off the battlefield

If you have any information about that is happening on the battlefield post it let everyone see.

The op is not the only one posting news here, even the fake pastor post propaganda all the time but no one asked him to stop, if you want to post western propaganda please do that ASAP.

The u.s will not try this with Iran let alone Russia.

If you have what can kill your enemy and your enemy is still not scared of you then something must be wrong with you.

China is a weak nation until she prove otherwise.

Story for the gods,
If Soviet Union can't do it china can't..
Last month your chief propaganda stories was a new currency which you guys have seems to have gotten over it now is a new base in Cuba,.

You guys are just bunch of clowns, idiots just go online start picking rubbish to post on nairaland.

Even the Chinese propaganda machine CGTN dosent have any thing related to a new base in Cuba, but guess what an idiots who probably also thinks obi won the general election seems to have Intel on a new Chinese base.

Clowns

I like how your hypocrisy stinks.

So the u.s won't allow china into cuba but want themselves in Ukraine.

Better focus on other sections on NL because you know nothing about international politics.
Can you imagine, in this 21st century people still have this slave mentality?
So you don't know that 'what is good for the goose is good for the gander'

This cannot be real.

Uprightness100:
Israeli official: Iran knows that Israel will strike if Tehran enriches 90% uranium; US & western countries also aware that 90% is Israel's red line

This is how Israel will make noise till Iran acquires nuclear weapons, all I've been hearing for a long time is talk talk and no action.

Unlike those Palestine that would've been bombarded, i bet they met their match this time.

Kingsnairaland:
It not a big deal the front line is filled with anti jet weapons on both sides you have to stay far away to shoot from planes

And Russia will still intercept it when you are far or hit you as you land in Ukraine


Ukraine has to repair it air port first so any one that under goes repair will be hit so the run way of the port won't work properly

USA planes is just coming for suicide mission

It won't change anything.

I'm not saying the fighter jets will give Russians headache, I'm only saying Russia will increase their assault on Ukrainians and so many civilians will die.

Those fighter jets are far from being a game changer, my only concern is that Russia will start giving Ukrainians sleepless nights, immediately fighter jets arrives, the death of military and civilian population will increase.

Vl3ly:
As previously reported, the United States is pushing through the idea of ​​transferring F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine with the ability to carry nuclear weapons. For this, information preparation has already begun:

“Can Biden stop a Russian nuclear attack on Ukraine? Yes, if he transfers tactical nuclear weapons to Ukraine.

This is a simple reality. The US has nuclear weapons because they are an effective deterrent against other nuclear countries. Ukraine should have the same right

I said it in the past that delivery of f16 fighter jets to Ukraine will change the course of this war.

If anyone still have family members or friends in Ukraine tell them to leave immediately, the Russians will become brutal when those fighter jets arrives. Ukraine is doomed.

⚡🇺🇸 Donald Trump promises peace with 🇷🇺 Russia & 🇨🇳 China by expelling the warmongers, globalists & deep state from government if he wins the Presidency.

Ukraine has lost up to 7k troops in their counteroffensive. The counter offensive fail from the day 1.

See how Russia forces keep bombing and destroying German leopard tanks.

The Us don't want to send their own Abraham tank to battle field to avoid international disgrace rather they persuade and pressure Germany to send Their own.

Not up to 7k troops but the number is high and still rising.
Imagine training for months by the so called best amry in the world, only to be annihilated when approaching the first line of defense when there are 5 lines of defensive positions.

The first two lines of defense which could be easily breached could not be taken by this trained soldiers.
it is a shame to nato, if Ukraine know what's good for them they should accept Russia's terms and start begging because what's coming will be colossal losses that cannot be hidden.

Creeper:
This is old news (from 2019).

It’s the same RQ-4A Global Hawk that Russia captured off the coast of Crimea a few months ago.

Yes this is old news but not the same drone Russia downed off the coast of Crimea.

Russia downed a reaper drone not this one.

There's nothing the west can do about this or maybe they can invade iran which will be at a great cost.

Sanctions are out of this discussion, because iran grew up in sanctions.

I still don't understand the ways of the west involving international politics.
Does it mean that their enemy is automatically the world's enemy?
Unlike the west who vowed to supply Ukraine with weapons even to their own detriment, iran is only trading and nothing else.
The bilateral relationship between iran and the Russians is a stumbling block to the west, now imagine china, iran, north Korea, and everything nation supporting Russia begin to send weapons to Russia like the west are doing in Ukraine, what will the west do? send troops to Ukraine and start WW3?

Although Iran should be very careful and accomplish the goal of a nuclear power before getting fully involved in this war. These are plans by the west to destabilize Iran from achieving their goal.

I can see the much anticipated counteroffensive has began and there are significant signs of failure.

In the military perspective, a counteroffensive can only be successful when it falls into one of these categories:
1. When the counteroffensive comes as an element of surprise.
2. When the enemy have no capacity (i.e armaments and manpower) to halt or destroy the offensive.

Without surprise, Russia do not fall under the listed categories.
Time is not on the side of the Ukrainians, infact time is working against them, because while zelensky was rallying around for weapons for this offensive, the Russians were building up defensive positions.

If we were to play along the western narratives, one would've thought that this counteroffensive will be a walk in the park for the Ukrainians but NO, it is a walk into the trap for them.
The Russians still hold superiority not only on armaments and tactics, but on strategic implementation of manpower and resources.
I saw a video of Ukrainian APCs and tanks rolling down to the Frontline without air cover, is that not a suicide mission?

Imagine fighting a land war with an enemy that can strike from air, land and sea.
A wise man once said 'pick on whom you can fight'.

considering the level of propaganda online, i can say alot of people are paid to spread this propaganda.
