In war there are no winners ,just survivors who lost alot of friends, family and hope.
I hope Zelensky understands this sooner before his thirst for Western dollars ruins his country

EDIT: For some of you quoting me, If Zelensky valued Ukraine's sovereignty, he should have understood that inviting the US to stage nuclear weapons pointed at Russia in a country situated right next to Russia will definitely force Russia to act in self-defence.

Sovereignty is like democracy, some lines are not meant to be crossed. Zelensky understood this, but his hunger for western money blinded his sense of judgement.

I wish this war never happened and I pray for the Ukrainians, but if Russia hadn't invaded Ukraine after Zelensky's action, then the USA would have deemed Russia as weak.

You all know how the USA treats weak nations, Right?

I doubt you understood the bone of contention. Can you point me to a resource online where Zelensky asked the US to point nuclear warhead to Russia? I bet that's a figment of your own imaginay.

Power is gradually shifting hands.

I can’t wait to see the downfall of America under The Most high Vladimir Putin.

....says the America's reject at the embassy. What has Russia provided for you. You were eager to take the COVID shot, who provided you with that. Alliance is about interest. I ask you again, tell me one of your interests that Russia has served.

Obviously, the only crime US has done was to rightly deny you visa into their country.

Ask your friend to go check himself for an enlarged adenoid and tonsils. It causes snoring in sleeping

This was what an ENT doctor told me today during our discussion. He called it - uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.

He said it requires surgery to reduce the tonsil size but he always recommends that if the snoring doesn't affect the person in a dangerous way, he should not bother with surgery. He recommends the person to sleep face down or by his side.

Why should I trust a man that has said publicly many times that he would never contest for presidency again. Now, he is, saying he wants to run.

If he won't hesitate to break his words, he will definitely break out trust.

To me, the US Govt is not being fair. They are not the only country affected by COVID. UK processing is as speedy as lightning. Why will a process to joining your spouse takes almost 2 years.

They are the Number 1 country in the world and I expect they should have figured out how to clear the backlog either by employing more hands or deploying more high tech to assist those handling it. It just does not make sense any longer. This will break some relationship as some ladies or guys over there are desperately looking for companionship which this process has denied them.

AroleOduduwa2:
I said it, Russia was just a smoke screen, we have a new world power and everyone with brain can see who the new big boys are.

By just talking, a new world power is birthed? Funny you. Let China back their words with action. The ship is sailing through the strait, let them turn it into an iron scrap. You will then realise that Taiwan is not Ukraine.

wwwihy:
One thing this war has achieved is exposing Russian forces and Putin as unintelligent, weak, overrated and overhyped. One week after, Ukraine Forces still standing strong and giving Putin bloody noses.

The only thing Russian Forces know is bombing of civilians

You are very right. Putin unknowingly exposes Russia as such a weakling. Even Europe now will be licking their lips. He would have taken to diplomacy and the world would still be having fearsome impression of Russia till now. But now, his armies are such a huge joke and disgrace.

Lies from AFP, a zionist media propaganda of France.
For the west to declare a No-fly zone over the existing one in Ukraine. It will have to hack into the codes of the current one and change it to be able to declare its No-fly zone. These codes often change by the minute or seconds. The reason the west cannot declare a no-fly zone at this moment in Ukraine.

What else can they do, they can fire missiles from Poland or any country that allows it. This is what Israel has been doing in Syria since its f-16 jet was shut down by Syrian Panstir. They have been using the Lebanese airspace to fire missiles into the Syrian airspace.

If they try this with Ukraine, Russia will declare a no-fly zone over that country and it will mean more war. And more war means, first of all destroying all the air-defense system of such a country like Russia first did using CLUB missiles.

For your mind, you have sounded so intelligent. What has hacking got to do with declaration of a "no fly zone". SMH

Johnrake69:
Hehehehehehehe... If I want to Enter America tomorrow na direct pass. My childhood pen friend is a black American. I have never applied for American visa. The day I will apply I will get it because I will have strong business tie there.

You think say everybody dey try leave Nigeria because of Sapa.

This is the kind of arrogance that ignorant make (no insult meant). If you are not a passport holder of a country, there is nothing like a direct pass. At some instance, even green card holder gets deported at the port of entry. Having a black American as a childhood pen friend does not guarantee you any visa sir or direct pass as you stated.

Johnrake69:
It's open secret that America is responsible for terrorism all over the world. They funded Al Qaeda and other groups and we have suffered from it by having Boko haram in our backyard.

And secondly, you must not travel. Stay in your country and fix it. The same thing most civilized countries have done.

The French Revolution was majorly caused by huge inflation on food commodities. Sugar, flour. And till today. Price of these commodities have remained relatively stable for more than 20years.

Here na every 6 months price of bread dey increase.

Rhado:
All these people attacking America and supporting Russia, abeg wetin Russia don do for the world. America may have done some damages but they have done more good than harm to the world. Putin invaded a sovereign nation because they wants to join a body and for whatever reasons some people are supporting him. So Ukraine should become enemies with the west just because Putin and the west are enemies, una dey reason dis tin at all.
Imagine the kind of bullies and dictators people are supporting, China, Nk and Russia. If given the visas to these countries and a visa to America, make una swear say una nor go chose America with open hands. Putin is just being a bully, forget all these analysis. The whole world is against you, you’re speculatively supported only by wicked people. I still maintain America and Americans have done more good to the world. Nor be China knack us COVID-19.

Most of the people rejecting US are America's reject. US has done them something at the embassy��. If given the choice to migrate between US and Russia, they wont think twice to fly to the states. Na frustration, my brother.

janedonez:
I have been neutral on this issue, but this is a no no for FIFA, this contravenes the rule of non governmental interference and politics, so they should have a rethink.

Dont forget to tell Judo Federation and Formula 1 the same thing. What Russia did was awful. Invading a sovereign nation that did nothing at all. Russia needs to be isolated from the rest of the world

aribisala0:
Ukraine cannot survive it .
Not even with the help of the embedded CIA and NATO forces already in Ukraine
They will be overwhelmed

That is the bitter truth

It is now a question of what the civilian toll will be
No doubt Russia will pay a price but I am sure they have included that in their calculus

They lost 24 million men in WW II

MORE than Germany , Europe and the US combined. So losing men is part of their psychology

Many Russian forces speak Ukraine and they too are likely to be on ground as sleeper cells .

If as expected today's talks yield nothing I do not expect Zelensky to remain in Kiev for another week
He cannot survive

Keep deceiving yourself

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Disgrace on Putin and his nairaland puppet..look how he's been displayed like a d*g..
It's such a pity that Putin didn't think thrice before invading..he made a very big mistake he will forever regret..

Small countries will be daring Russia now. His armies are not quality. It has become a joke for the EU and the US

orohbiro:
Una for nor hold peace Russians have the Arsenal to conquer 50nations put together Ukraine is just like ant to Russia. Putin just dey play with them see as them.they panic give Putin 3 hours he will wipe out the whole of Ukraine Even USA knows this

it is time for you to nap. I can feel it . You desperately need it. Enjoy your sleep, girl.

shogsman:
Typical mumu,you think say china na Iraq,they will sanction someone that has a bigger economy than them, someone they depend on for a living

You came to a public forum to disgrace your ancestors. China economy bigger than US economy? Oh my world. I find it discomforting that I share the same nationality with some unchained apes, who hide behind internet to say thrash. China that the world is projecting that it COULD overtake US economy by 2030, which means it has not. You are an ignoramus.

Suspect33:
It's only on the media that Ukraine is winning this war.

Funny enough the Russians are not out for a full scale attack, they are just out to occupy some strategic position in Ukraine so as to prevent them from blindly joining NATO.

If this was a full on Russia vs Ukraine war or military showdown, we all know it would have been over a long time ago

Like it ended when USSR when to fight a war in Afghanistan then, right?

Rugaria:
It is time for the developing nations to immediately find alternative to SWIFT and all other finance regulations that depend almost totally on these belligerent western imperialists for control. The world was created free and shouldn't revolve eternally around the dictates of colonialists and imperialists..The west as now enjoyed almost 200 years of total global domination of affairs. We need a change, since all they care about is their interests and people..

May I suggest you to research about SWIFT first. And may I tell you that China and Russia have their own versions of SWIFT which can not match up in any specification to SWIFT.

The west is where the economic and military power reside. Accept it.

China has seen what is coming for them if they attempt to invade Taiwan. US is praying that China should do it, so that they can be hit like they have never experienced before.

Oblion:
The matter simple, they should be walked over and Russia given all the three points.
FIFA football and politics don't mix

Russia is expendable. No one will miss them. Even Putin who is a black belter in judo has been suspended by Judo federation.

EU has dealt with Russia in a matured way without firing a gun. Russia might implode, just like the old USSR

Russia is officially a pariah nation. China, watch out.

nairalander2020:
Russia has the largest nuclear stock pile in the world.
Facts check#

This does not mean anything. Russia won't finish using half of its nuclear stockpile before it is taken away from the map.

Nuclear stockpiles from NATO and US completely surpass Russia nuclear stockpile.

Forget it, Putin dares not use it. He is well aware that NATO has enough stockpiles of nuclear weapon to turn the entire Russia into a wasteland....totally taken off from the map before he finishes using his own stockpile.

No one has the Monopoly of violence.

This is a signal that Putin is frustrated as he keeps losing soldiers, military hardware's, attack helicopters, war planes etc in lowly underestimated Ukraine.

It is the beginning of the end for Mr. Putin who has lost any shred of global respect he has got.

Fidha254:
He (Putin) has been planing this for a while, he must have gone through all alternate scenarios of retaliation from the west. He definitely went through all worst case scenarios and planned contingencies for all of them, so it's probable he is holding back the advanced equipment for someone more equal.
From Russia's perspective, and the way they executed the operation so quickly, they predicted that taking Ukraine was easy probably within a week or two max with little resistance after dismantling Ukraine's air defence capability.

So it's not impossible to think that Russia is holding back the good stuff for a scenario were a stronger adversary decides to intervine.
One thing I can say is Putin is definitely holding back.

Sheer assumption. War is not won by who has superior military hardware sometimes. Go back to history, and you will find out that the former formidable USSR ran away from the rag tag afghans.

It's the Ukrainians terrain, even if Russians overwhelm them, guerilla warfare would be birthed. They can't hold that country!

WATCHMANX:
If you believe they are really at the top, tell your America to send planes and soldiers there.

I will rather say tell the Russians to invade any of the NATO nation.

PeaceJoyLove:
Since you called it an epistle and with this short comment, it means you didnt read it so it why you made this useless statement. The response to this statement is in the previous post and I wont type it again.

Goodluck!

In your warped mind, you imagined I didn't read it because I responded with a few lines. Two people can't be silly at the same time. Calling my statement "useless" shows you have a dark heart like the Putin whom you follow like a blind bat. Anyone that disagrees with you must be insulted, killed or maimed.

Sons of the guns!

Viridis:
Did they try?

Yes they did. They wanted to be part of NATO which would open a frontier for those military hardware to be brought in. That's the bone of contention here.

PeaceJoyLove:
Maybe you think nuclear destruction is jets display. Una no even understand it. Go read about Chernobyl, then you will get a tiny flow of what it is. There is even a series on it. Go watch it.

Biden himself has said US-Russo war is a war he cannot afford to fight. And he hopes Putin will be intelligent enough not to touch a US citizen.

While Putin said he knows he wont win, but he will shock the whole world, and there wont be a winner cos he will deploy his nuclear the moment NATO gets involved. After the statement, the whole NATO stepped back from Ukraine. He gave them a clear warning....if dem born you well, come interfere with my peacekeeping operation. Then, you will explain the nature of your peacekeeping in the nations you have entered also. And he is managing it intelligently by not destroying everything. He is just targeting military zones mainly. Though, civilians will definitely die. Haven't you seen videos of civilians confronting the Russians? And they did nothing to them. So, as far as he is concerned, he is on a peacekeeping mission.

The issue is who is ready to die? Who is ready to kill more?

That Putin I see is ready to die, but I dont see Biden ready to die. But I think Putin understands international law and diplomacy very well. Anyone who wants to conquer the world must abide by some rules. His style is why there are some people still supporting him openly. All he is looking for is an opening to move forward.

I guess as at 2 years ago, no one ever believed Putin will ever in this life attack Ukraine. The highest he did was he tried to claim Crimea. He started the "beefing" with that. Slowly started funding rebels in those two cities. And when the US left Afghanistan, he intensified his effort to the extend of using peacekeeping as an excuse. That's genius. I agreed. But evil.

So, who says he doesnt have a clean way of attacking a NATO nation? And then destabilize NATO. Nothing is impossible. Unified forces have broken in the past, and it is not impossible for NATO not to be broken down. No one ever believed USSR can be splitted. With the way Lenin and Stalin ruled? Who will ever believe USSR will collapse? It is like saying the US will collapse. Do you believe it yourself? But nothing is impossible.

For all your long epistle, you forgot that NATO too has nuclear capabilities, not to mention the United States. No one has monopoly of violence.

Viridis:
My problem with Ukraine is that you know you have a hostile neighbor who may attack you. Yet you fail to develop your military to counter them. Just see how a full blown country fell to it's mate in days with no retaliation.

You couldn't even hit a single target in there territory. Ukraine disgusts me. Patriotism is not enough. Imagine no single SAM defence system thereby allowing your enemy control of your airspace without a single fear of being hit.

Don't be naive. Russia will never allow Ukraine to modernize it's military capabilities. It's part of the excuse from Russia, that the US and NATO are attempting to install their military infrastructure in Ukraine.

ifadiuyu:
Small yansh they shake o

It is how symbolic such a stance generates you ought to focus on. It shows Russia is being isolated, becoming a pariah nation.

naija4life247:
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.

Don't make a mistake. Russia is not the strongest militarily and Russia cannot defeat the US and NATO combined. NATO and US are stepping back because they do not want WW3 to commence. Everyone cannot be a mad dog like Putin who cares less.

If you feel Russia has nukes, so are some members of NATO and the US. Don't get it twisted.

DoggoneDogg:
Bomb the viking infidels, Mr. Putin!!

China needs to move into Taiwan and Hong Kong.
North Korea needs to move into South Korea.
Iran and Syria need to bomb Israel ASAP.


Since US/NATO wants to be mad

Too much of Hollywood. Calm down
