The US and her sanctions can't do anything to Russia . Las las, they'll bow to pressure and let Russia have her way . But for those thinking the US or her allies will arm-twist Putin into submitting, they are in for a big surprise
Smiles. Wetin you sabi ?. This is real international politics we are talking about and not comedy. Sit this out, boy!

https://twitter.com/realFFK/status/1496944469215744006?s=19[/quote]Femi Fani-Kayode has never been a brilliant mind to me and not making sense as usual. So, the world should continue to appease Putin who recklessly redraws the border of a sovereign nation at will. If the EU and NATO do not want to engage him militarily because they want to avoid WW3, there has to be consequence for his action in other ways.

This was how Hitler was appeased before he became a global menace.

And talking about the nuclear weapon, there are lot of countries in that alliance that have nuclear capabilities in addition to the US. Any attempt for Putin to use one nuclear weapon will trigger lot of nuclear weapons raining on Russia from different directions. No one has monopoly of violence.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: 1.5M Monthly In Nigeria Vs 4k Pounds Monthly In The UK by MT: 2:17pm On Feb 24, 2022
1.5Million Naira is far better than 4kGBP in the UK . However, since UK is a credit environment, your credit will rise and you can have access to take loan to do so many things. It depends on what you want.

If you are working remotely, 4kGBP will be cool. That means you are earning in the UK but spending in Nigeria. But once you move into UK environment, you will have saving but not like you anticipate.

Do you even understand what Russia is fighting against? All the world power are guilty of same shit. Make China or Russia go get alliance with Mexico, America will invade in less than 24hours.
That's where you got it wrong. If you are nice to your neighbor, there won't be need for them to seek security guarantee outside.

Do you know the amount of USD the US spends daily to send aid to it's neighbors. They have no reason to be allies with the Russia who can't benefit their economies.

Russia treating it's neighbors badly and still expect them not to seen security from NATO. Infact, Ukraine's NATO membership will be fast tracked and US missiles and defence systems will be sitting pretty on Ukraine's soil, at Russia doorstep.

No one has a monopoly of violence. There are countries that are nuclear armed in EU as well, not to talk of the US.

Puting is just reckless and his people will soon turn against him for starting a needless war when the Russians economy tank. And trust me, there will be lots of mercenaries fighting alongside the Ukraine's army.

hakeem4:
Its a lie UK cannot cripple it.

Russia supplies about a third of Europe's gas, so the effects work both ways. Gas prices are already soaring higher than they've been in many decades, causing an energy crisis. Russia could make the prices insanely expensive or just simply cut supply to Europe, causing a massive economic problem for all of Europe. Russia wouldn't be the only one to suffer big economic problems.
Russia's gazprom will suffer fatally if Russia cuts supply to EU totally. EU will still suffer but LNG will increase supply to EU as well.

This is not a joke.

We have two nuclear armed powers facing each other.

For the first time in my life, there is a threat of what many people have warned about...nuclear war.

Let's pray and hope it does not become reality.
Ukraine has no nuclear weapon, only reckless Putin which is set to get isolated internationally.

A simple implementation of the Minsk accord would have save us these nonsense. But Ukrainian government refused under the influence of USA and UK. Now they will feel what Georgia felt when they challenged Russia.
And if this war finally breaks out. Believe that Ukraine will cease to exist. As a nation.
Remember what Iron Mike Tyson says - Everyone has a plan till they get punched in the mouth.

When the then USSR attempted this in Afghanistan, they ran back to the USSR. US failed in Vietnam. You can never know the trajectory the war will take if it eventually breaks out. Putin has overplayed his hands.

Even Russia know that their economy will be hit so hard if they are yanked off the SWIFT. When they stop trading in Pounds and Dollars. They cant ignore such a threat to their economy. SPFS is no match to SWIFT.

In 1954, the Soviet Union transferred Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR from the Russian SFSR. The transfer to Ukraine was made by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. The year 1954 happened to mark the 300th anniversary of the Treaty of Pereyaslav, which was signed in 1654 by representatives of the Ukrainian Cossack Hetmanate and Tsar Alexis of Russia.0
Any country can lay claim to any land. God did not create earth with borders. Borders are human creation. The international community has recognised Ukraine's border. And Russia signed the agreement, only for Putin to unilaterally changed it now. There would be consequences

So is Taiwan a NATO member? That US now has the responsibility to defend it? Or Is it me that don't understand your statement?
Go and read "Taiwan Relation Act" which was enacted in 1979. You can Google it or read this link:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Relations_Act

Taiwan doesn't need to be a NATO member before US can defend it. The Taiwan Relation act was enacted by the US Congress and US has the constitutional responsibility to provide Taiwan with capabilities to defend itself.

And while doing that, if US is attacked, article 5 of NATO will be triggered and NATO will be drawn into the war; an attack on one is an attack on all.

Do you understand now?

Do you realize that China is the only country that has been able to shoot down the BT52 bomber before?
Do you realize that China has a missile that can easily knock off the US military settilites in the orbit, thereby neutralizing the global positioning system, that is used to direct American inter continental ballistic missiles?
Do you realize that China has enough nuclear warheads to burn all American cities and the smart missiles to carry them?
So if you're an American president, you will go to war with such a country, an economic behemoth, just because of Taiwan!? What is it you are getting from Taiwan that you can't get from China?
You aint correct. More than 30 B 52 bombers had been shot down in history. And note that China miserably pales in comparison to the US military capabilities. China know.

Again I repeat, google the US Research & Development budget, it is massive than Russia and China combined. Russia and China have a lot of catch up to do. US is not stopping too.

Check this out, you will have an idea of who the US is. They call them the United States of America for a reason!

No smart country fights where there is nothing to be gained. In the case of Ukraine, they need their lands to build a military base and build their defence systems. Why wasting tax payer's money in a war you have no interest.

If China invades Taiwan this night, The US will NEVER intervene militarily. That's a no no. China is so close to Taiwan, that America will need to have a weapon big enough to deter china from thinking of an invasion. That obviously is either a nuke or chemical weapons. If the Americans don't have such in Taiwan already, it means they are not eager for a military confrontation Incase China invades, and The Taiwanese know..

But America can still punish China severely, that's economically, diplomatically and politically, through massive sanctions with her allies. That might effect Chinas rapid economic growth, thereby causing unpredictable reactions at home. The realization that such sanctions and gang up Will hurt, and the fact that the Taiwanese will put up a bloody resistance is the only reason the Chinese have not invaded that tiny swat of land. Not the fear of wars. Nobody fights a direct war with a nuclear power like China or the US or Russia!

It's incredibly dangerous for everyone..
The US has bases close to Taiwan and a deployment can happen quickly. The B2 Bomber has been situated in one of the bases. China can only bark they cant bite. Even the contested South China sea which China has unilaterally claimed, the US passes with her armada and nothing happens.

You dont respect the US but these countries - China and Russia - know the devastating power of the US.

There are two things happening here
There is the Europe side (it does not want a conflict with Russia and the only arsenal it has its the NATO vehicleso it is obvious the eu will pump money to NATO to protect it's border...it has never bordered Putin)
The second side is the former Soviet states of which has come under pressure(Belarus and etal from Europe and Chinese inward).with this show of power by Putin and Russia using Ukraine as a scale goat.all those troublemakers in Belarus and et Al have literally vanished.this gives Putin firm grip on the states without under attention.
Putin get sense!
But it is still risky
Putin does not get sense. He is encouraging his enemies to have a renewed resolve to stand up against his country. Only Belarus is close to Russia. Other countries in the eastern flanks are in NATO except Ukraine. Putin does not have the monopoly of violence. People have been shouting of hypersonic missiles which US is also currently building but take it, there are some undisclosed devastating capabilities in the US arsenal. Have you checked the US annual military budget compared to China's and Russia's own? Do you know the number of nuclear powered sub the US possess.
Be guided, US is a beast! They simply want to avoid nuclear war with Putin but there are ways they can get into Russia without a shot fired. Trust me.

Haiti is Americas neighbor too and America is not nice to them.
Same with Cuba. Not even Mexico is getting it easy. Remember the wall?
Putins only big issue with her neighbors is their desperation to join NATO and the European union for obvious reasons. He has a good reason to block this and I think every smart president running a big power like Russia will do the same..
The wall is not a game changer for Mexico. US is sending million of dollars in aid to Haiti. Haiti govt even called on the US govt (and not Russia) to help them protect their country. Cuba is looking at the US for help. They need the aids too.

Russia is not as rich as the United States. How many countries have you heard that Russia gives money to. To be a super power, you need to spend, spend and spend. Russia cant match that, so no country in America will give them allegiance.

Taiwan is a different case entirely. US has the responsibility to defend Taiwan. Ukraine is not a NATO member and US has little need to intervene in Ukraine. Ukraine is just good for the US defence system and missile to be installed in Ukraine and for NATO to have a base which will be strategic to fight Russia militarily, if need be.
