So the US is actually scared of Russia. Wow.

What do you expect?

The US is a democracy Russia is a dictatorship.

Biden needs support of Americans to go to war, Putin doesn't need Russians approval to do same.

There is protest against Putin all over Russia now

For no reason?
The problem here is that you are giving NATO and the West a free pass. In your mind, they're infallible. You really think the West never saw this crises coming? This crises have been brewing for over a decade. The West knows what they're doing. Russia knows what they are doing too. Russia understands Western manipulations and scheming and are basically trying to upstage them.

You have to understand how NATO works. Once you're a member of NATO, if you're attacked, all members of NATO have a duty to join hands to defend you. It means that the attackers will be facing the military arsenal of the whole of western Europe and others that are members of NATO. NATO is the biggest fighting block as at today and represents the biggest military danger to countries like Russia and China...

So what happens if Ukraine joins NATO and a president of Ukraine starts a sort of war with Russia? NATO will have to do something to defend Ukraine. That means that all of a sudden, Russia will have to fight The USA, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal etc. These are some of the most sophisticated militaries in the world. You're going to face them over a minor squabble with your neighbour? Right at your borders! Especially a neighbour that has ethnic Russians as her citizens too?

This is very simple. I don't know why it looks so confusing to some. Russia is trying to get Ukraine within its sphere of influence. That's what you do when you're a superpower. The Americans do it, the USSR did it, China is trying to do it. If you leave your flanks open, your competitors will enter and dismantle you. If you doubt this, try to make Mexico a strategic ally of Russia or China, The Americans will react even more ferociously than Russia is doing today to that. During the Venezuelan crisis, The US did whatever it could to make sure that Russia never had a military post in Venezuela. Yet Venezuela has no border crossings with The United States. How much more a country with land borders with the US.

We all understand Russia's point. But what we're saying is how come Ukraine is aligning more with NATO than with Russia? The answer is simple, Russia is simply not a good neighbour. It's more of a threatening bully and a dictatorship.

There is no where it's written anywhere that superpowers must annexed smaller countries around them.
Ukrainian simply don't want to be under Russia.

The Cuba Missile Crisis most be are sighting, they don't have good knowledge of it.

Cuba is a communist state, that's fair with the US. Cuba started fraternising with Russia, ok, not bad. Russia started building Nuclear Plants in Cuba. That was where the US had to draw the line.

The US could use the opportunity to also annex Cuba , but being a democracy, how do they explain that to Americans?


What we all have to understand is, if we keep saying the US did this and that in the past. Are we saying it's also right for Russia to do same? The US is not the only member of NATO. Ukraine is not joining the US but NATO. So making it about the US or being a superpower is irrational and immoral.

Let's just support good against evil, what Putin is doing doesn't even enjoys Russians support I don't know why he's enjoys enjoying you peoples' or why you need to rationalize it

Do you know the requirements a country needs to meet to be admitted into NATO?
Did NATO changed it's constitution for Ukraine or Ukraine changed it's constitution for NATO?

Rugaria:
Very correct assessment.
The aggressors are the ones playing victims now..
NATO has to explain why it wants Russias immediate neighbor as a member.

The US cannot be as reckless and autocratic like Russia.
The US is a democracy. It needs Senate approval and all.
Russia is a one man show

themes009:
when is usa going to take action. the world power country INDEED

suicidesheep:
Do you expect the Americans to get their own hand dirty

Please, that's a lame excuse.

If your people love you, external forces can't get you

suicidesheep:
.

Dont let media deceive you. Gaddafi was loved by his people, only reason US killed him was cause he was a threat to the petro-dollar( U can look that up). Gaddafi wanted to unite Africa and break the west influence in Africa.
Why do u think almost every foreign exchange is done in dollars. Its cause it makes the us stronger..
For too long the us lied to use that they are peace keepers, reality is only dawning on us that us cares for nothing but their selfish interest.

U say libyans and Iraqis killed their leader.. when they were manipulated by US.
After killing those leaders are those countries better off now.
Any country the us has invaded in the name of democracy is in shambles now.
Look at Iraq, libya, Afghanistan and others before US, they were doing relatively well compared to post-US era.
I hope u Also know it's the US that created al-Qaeda just to Bleep up the middle east

Did you see what his people you claimed love him did to him when they caught him?

Did you see Americans there?

RexTramadol1:
What are you saying?



There is no way the whole world will be against Russia


They have allies that are strong too and most top nations will rather avoid war coming to their door steps destroying all they built for years

Only communist states will support them. And how many are they?

suicidesheep:
The US is worst cause they look for trouble far from home. Abi you'll say what d US did in Libya right cause libya doesn't share a border with US

See, the attack in Lybia was all Ghadafi's fault.

He stayed too long.

Most Lybians want him out. The US only helped them.


Are you saying Ukrainian are happy with Russia's invasion?

In Iraq and Lybia the citizens themselves captured their tyrant leaders.

suicidesheep:
US attacks sovereign nations no one complains
But when Russia does it( for their own I interest and not d rubbish the US does) its suddenly a big problem

Has the US ever attacked a neighbouring country or any country at all to annex it?

Because I don't get where all these are coming ?

bankylan:
All these kids commenting here......Is Ukraine a NATO member that America will go all out for? Why are you praising Putin for this heinous crime in a modern world? Are you aware of the animal Putin is and how he suppresses opposition in Russia where he has amended constitution to put him in power till many years to come. I hope Buhari rules you for the next 20 years so that you will know what life is like under a dictator.

If Putin wants to show power like the US, let him show in business and technology that benefit humanity. Where are the Russian companies in the world, where are their products and services..........Will you in your dream chose to live in Russia over the US?

Those supporting Putin are Ipobs. It's a waste of time arguing with Ipobs

Just imagine this scenario, Russia firing at the whole world and the whole world firing back

Goodoption:
If this turns to nuclear war rushians will regret it, because there is no way nuclear Fired in Ukraine soil won't escalate to it's neighboring countries. Hence become multinational deadly game.

About time. Now it's time to join NATO fully.

suicidesheep:
Nato doesn't invade nations, it always US. Did nato invade Libya or Afghanistan

So what is mentioning US got to do with this?

Seems you don't know the crust

Russia doesn't want Ukraine in NATO not in US

suicidesheep:
Isn't that the same thing US has been doing past few decades

So it's only US that's a member of NATO?

Because you ppl are always quite to mention the US

Edusouls:
USA and it western allies sets the precedent when they lied to world about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and invaded, the same happened in Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Na Russia turn , this life Na turn by turn, I love putin

Ok. Now tell us why Russia want to invade?
What's Russia's lie?

You want to topple a democratically elected govt in a sovereign country.

Putin must be drunk in power.

Little wonder he's running to China to sign some cooked up agreement

RichardRandy:
A gree with some part ur post ..thats when u say igbo ladies are money driven while Yoruba lafies prefer love..u are right 100%.
I like aspect about them.

But whrn u say igbo parents wants their children to marry who get money thats not true.
Maybe some igbo parents not all..

And lastly i think yoruba gals very tribalistic the reason they fall for u easily becoz u speak the language maybe u woo them with the language.
If u sabi yoruba language u go Bleep them tire.
Thats if u are not yoruba. Thats the easieast way to get into their pants. If not u wind it difficult.

Yoruba gals are tribalistic igbo gals are more liberal and friendly

But this ur comment is tribalistic

ndo1:
Poor church rat,you are not Igbo.go and marry you fellow yoruba.igbo girls are not cheap and dirty like yoruba girls.

Yen yen yen

Not bad

jackcanfield:
Russia never grant independence to a part of Ukraine, it only gave an official recognition, to a people who want to be independent. Ukraine which is part of the USSR should have been allied with the Russian not NATO. The same way they have right to join NATO is the same right Russia has the right to recognize the independent state... America won't allow Russia put Missile in Cuba because it threatens their security and keep them in perpetual alert security wise , now they find it comfortable for Ukraine to allow them have a base at a striking point to Mother Russia. Whatever they do, what is important to me is peace, let everyone keep negotiating and talking without firing a bullet.

For Ukraine to align with NATO Russia is simply not a good neighbour

Things have changed. Europe now have NATO

But Putin will give it a shot if he's not curtailed.

jikins:
So does Putin want to conquer the whole of Europe?

jikins:
What we're the core motivations of Hitler what are the core motivations of Putin?

Conquering whole of Europe

AstraDroid:
Totally unrelated to fighting a world power with intention to replacing it. You are out of context.

Your claim was that China has come this far without invading another country or kingdom with the intent of overpowering them - that is wrong.


That's all my comment aims to dispute

Go watch what?
Did I say it didn't happen?

nijanigga:
Go watch the beginning of ww2 when Japan invaded China, first American volunteers then US government saved Chinese assess from the Japanese Japan would have wiped them off if not for the Americans
Just Google it

Pharmboy24:
Lol there stupid sanctions have a very little effect on the Russians, which in No time the Russians will adapt, they either bow to Putins Request or go on a full fledged war

The US, EU and UK have never unanimously placed sanctions on Russia symotaneously.

This will overwhelm Russians

AstraDroid:
I do not love or hate America personally, cos I do not know what is there to love or hate. When you say the others did something bad, what do you really mean? Do you understand that no country becomes world power without warring and so far only the Chinese have come this far with intelligence instead of war since the creation of humanity?

But then there will never be Earth with a single world power after USA, it will be multipolar cos humanity has evolved beyond the era of a monopolar leadership.\\

Do you know China's history at all?

China has fought Japan, Invasion Of Manchukuo in 1945. ...
Invasion Of South and North Korea in 1950. ...
Invasion Of India In 1962. ...
Invasion Of The Soviet Union In 1969. ...
Invasion Of Vietnam In 1979.

And don't assume this is everything. I just gave you half

GTkester:
Loolol, don't flatter yourself! US and UK have all tapped out of sanctions. They have wasted all their sanctions on Russia since 2014, and now they do not have any leverage on Russia.

So, welcome to the berth of a new world order!!

Russia is about to be another NK. If you think Russians will stand by and watch power drunk Putin destroy their country, then you know little about power and popularity.

If anyone has any doubts about the similarities b/w Hitler and Putin (aside from patience and a nuclear arsenal), let those be put to rest. This is an existential crisis for all of us. Annexation and appeasement does not end well

Wetin man go do?

Me wet dey look for aunt wey go give me money

Well, this what you do. Whenever you visit her, before she gives you money, you quickly give her money first.

That's how she will realise you're now a big boy

Legacy or Master Plan?
Because Tinubu has been selling us master plan since 1914
