Finally some false news
Russia is fighting in East Ukraine not the capital and the Ukraine president made it clear that he was losing 5200 solders per day according to foreign news aired this afternoon.
Why is Russia fighting only in East Ukraine? Because Ukraine chased them out of the rest of Ukraine and confine them to the East.

What happened to Putin's plan to storm Ukraine, decapitate the leadership and take over the Capital and government?

Why is Ukraine still so powerful and still able to inflict so much pain and cost on Russia?

Russia at this point should not still be fighting anywhere in Ukraine after 88 days of fighting, they should by now be in total control of Ukraine and even the East .

Ukraine is exposing Russia's military weakness and incompetence.

Ukraine might be tiny, but weapons and other aids pouring in from USA and other NATO members in terms of billions of dollars has kept Ukraine fairly holding on. Russia is fighting NATO indirectly, Russia deserve kudos
Is NATO on the ground fighting and shedding blood for Ukraine?

What NATO sending to Ukraine? Javelins and Drones from Turkey?

What is Ukraine using to fight Russia? Javelins and Drones mainly.

Are you saying Russia with the so called superpower with massive arsenal from missiles to warships, fighter jets, combat helicopters, hypersonic weapons and so on still can not defeat a small country armed with just basic weapons like drones and MANPADS?

If NATO is helping Ukraine, is Russia not getting help from other places within his own security allowed alliance like Belarus and even fighters from Chechnya?

Both countries are getting assistance from outside so the NATO excuse is a wash, facts remains that Russia with so much military power and advantage can not fight and defeat small Ukraine, a country that didn't have any serious military before the war.

Ukraine fought Russia to a stand still with little resources, sound military strategies, skills, determination, bravery and strong mental fortitude.

if this is Russian military power on the battlefield struggling to defeat a small country armed with almost nothing? They shouldn't bother messing with NATO.

Funny enough, those people taking those pictures, will soon be sent to the war front.
The western Media that Used the word Evacuated instead of Surrendered. Is the same media giving O.P and his lots orgasm.
Many Ukrainian soldiers have gove AWOL.
Morale is very low, the PR of the Ukrainian MOD can only help until the bogey man come knocking on your door.

As for the Americans, we need to help them buy baby formula
Same crying and story since day 1 when lazy Putin and his soldiers were supposed to defeat Ukraine, but 88 days later, Ukraine is still fighting, still decimating Putin's convoys, still standing and trolling Putin with his burnt tanks..

Abeg sing another song..

Russia dealt with Ukraine badly. I saw a video of Ukrainian amputee & wounded soldiers that surrendered. Mehn, I began to weep for them and their families.

Trust me, if they re our Nigerian soldiers, they would abandon the war for their dear life
Did you also weep for the tens of thousands of dead and wounded Russian soldiers?

Did you also weep for the hundreds of Russian sailors on the warships Ukraine sank that are currently at the bottom of the black see?

Did you also weep for the 12 Russian generals Ukraine killed?

Did you also feel sorry for the families of the 40 Russian colonels that perished in Ukraine?



you no get any love and sympathy for Russian soldiers?

keep making a fool of yourself & keep allowing biased reporting from the western media fool you into believing that Ukraine actually stands a chance in this war.
Even B.B.C yesterday finally admitted that the western media was being one sided with their reports...

Western officials have highlighted significant Russian losses, but they have been less willing to give estimates of Ukrainian casualties.

Small Ukraine is trolling and mocking the so-called fake superpower in front of the whole world.


This is what happens when after 88 days of war and fighting, the so-called superpower can not defeat small Ukraine, a country with just drones and Javelins, now to add salt to Putin's injury, Ukraine is trolling the weak and paper tiger superpower..

Putin did not even make it to the Ukrainian capital...

Russian Tanks Finally Enter Kyiv—Destroyed and on Display

Russian tanks destroyed by Ukrainian fighters have been put on display in Ukraine's capital Kyiv.

In the first days of the war, Russian tanks were seen in social media footage traveling through Obolonsky, just 5 miles from central Kyiv.

Bellingcat investigators also geolocated a Russian armored column in March outside Brovary, an eastern suburb of Kyiv, which was Ukrainian forces attacked in an ambush.

They were repelled. Now, the rusted tanks and armored vehicles sit defeated in the city's central Saint Michaels Square.

common sense will not tell u that sanctioning Russia only increased demand

And favour Russia more
Common sense did not tell you that demand can not increase when other countries are not buying your product and the ones that you cut off mean money that did not go into your pocket.?

Nearly 50% of Russia's gas export goes to Europe, meaning half of Russia's gas earnings so with the whole of Europe spending billions to develop their own LNG infrastructures, buying and leasing LNG terminals just to get rid of Russian gas, what do you think will happen to Russia's economy next year and year after? Figure it out and answer the question, it's common sense.

The fact that Europe can not get rid of Russia's gas today doesn't mean they are not determined or they won't get rid of it tomorrow.

Common sense is not always about today, it's also about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Use some common sense sometimes.

So, were the thousands of dead Russian soldiers cowards and stubborn or brave?

Were the hundreds of dead Russian sailors on all the Russian warships that Ukraine sank cowards and stubborn or brave. Going by your upside down logic, all the dead Russian soldiers were dumb and stubborn fools..

Foreign AffairsRe: Finland Leases Floating LNG Terminal For 10 Years To Break Free From Russian Gas by NigerianSage: 7:14am On May 22, 2022
VictorUSA:
There's something happening behind the scene.The U.S strategically orchestrated this war with a set of achievents it put its eyes on.Imagine Finland puting an end to importing Russian gas to get alternative from the U.S. So you just sit down and ask yourself "who is really benefiting in this war? the U.S sure do.They want the war in a low intensity but keep going.Very soon, it will be clear to everyone that the U.S is the beneficiary in this war.
Such a break was easier for Finland than it will be for other European Union nations. Natural gas accounts for just some 5% of total energy consumption in Finland, a country of 5.5 million. Almost all of that gas comes from Russia, and is used mainly by industrial and other companies with only an estimated 4,000 households relying on gas heating.

Finland's state-owned gas company says it will now use other gas sources

Gasum said it would now supply natural gas to its customers from other sources through the undersea Balticconnector gas pipeline running between Finland and Estonia and connecting the Finnish and Baltic gas grids.


https://www.npr.org/2022/05/21/1100547908/russia-ends-natural-gas-exports-to-finland
Have you seen any American LNG heading to Finland or any contract signed between Finland and the USA?

Gas is almost irrelevant as Finland is concerned because only 5% of their energy consumption is gas which they replaced easily via the Balticconnector gas pipeline.
Foreign AffairsRe: Finland Leases Floating LNG Terminal For 10 Years To Break Free From Russian Gas by NigerianSage: 4:21am On May 22, 2022
Putin like other sociopaths and overbearing characters like him gets carried away, they overestimate their relevance and importance, you sell oil and gas, you get your money mainly from oil and gas, you acquire military power and arsenal from oil and gas, you are nothing without oil and gas and all of a sudden you think you are so powerful and the world can not do without you and your oil and gas.

The only problem with Putin's foolish miscalculation is not knowing that he's not the only seller of oil and gas, oil and gas are international commodities with many suppliers like Putin all over the world, so what do you do when the world calls your bluff and stop buying your oil and gas.

Poland and Bulgaria found other suppliers, Finland was ready for Putin and his drama so they made arrangements to get energy from other sources, even sef, they consume only 5% gas, so little that they easily replaced Russian gas with Norwegian gas with ease.

It is OK to do shakara and bully poor countries with little or no money with your gas, but not the richest countries in the world with more than enough money to set up their own oil and gas infrastructures just to get rid of you and your drama.

Finland refused to bow to Putin, they did not pay him 1 ruble for his gas and they are joining NATO so who is the loser? Putin is the loser.

Putin is really very follish and dumb.

What would be the bills for the consumers compared to Russian gaz ?
That is the main question.
Finland has been named as the #1 country in the world in 2021 for Quality of Life, according to the CEOWORLD magazine 2021 report, while Denmark and Norway placed second and third, respectively. The 2021 rankings placed Belgium in fourth ahead of Sweden into fifth; while Switzerland ranked sixth and the Netherlands seventh. Syria is in the last place behind Sudan, Montserrat, North Korea, and Comoros


https://ceoworld.biz/2021/06/20/the-worlds-best-countries-for-quality-of-life-2021/
To start with, read and learn about Finland, Finland is not a poor country with no means, they are rich and they have the best quality of life in the world, better than poor Russia many times over.

Don't worry about the Fins, they did their homework for decades knowing the kind of maniac in Russia next door, the Fins like the rest of Europe appeased Putin for decades by buying his oil and gas while he threatens their peace and stability, they look the other way just to keep the peace while Putin invades other countries and took their land.

Don't think for one second that cheap Russian gas is indispensable when it comes to other people's peace, their future, and economic stability.

The people of Finland are in total support of their government and joining NATO, obviously, the price of gas is irrelevant when it comes to their peace of mind, safety and security so don't worry about the Fins, they are not poor and hungry people.

You can not keep invading other countries, starting needless wars, and not expect your neighbors to start asking themselves who is next in line to be invaded or not to make arrangements to protect themselves and their people.

pansophist:
No one thinks Russia is the only supplier of gas, but other alternatives are freaking expensive and the infrastructures are not even there. The EU doesn't have enough LNG terminals and to build enough will take at least the next five years, even as such, its expensive to ship from overseas compare to Just pump from pipeline with Russia.
You don't need new terminal construction to get LNG deliveries, the whole of Europe from Germany to Finland are buying and leasing floating terminals to take care of that until they are done constructing their own terminals.

Finland just leased new terminals for 10 years, Germany bought their own, Poland and Bulgaria which Putin cut off are getting their supplies from the US at cheaper rates.

This is what I don't get about Putin supporters, you don't do facts, just sentiments, emotions and personal opinions that don't jive with basic realities on the ground.

The whole of EU can not break away from Russian gas today, but they are doing everything in their power to break away tomorrow.

Tomorrow is coming, Putin's pain is coming tomorrow because Europe is getting ready and spending their huge wealth to make sure that tomorrow comes when Putin's gas becomes irrelevant.


Abge, wake up and smell the coffee.

So your solution is that Putin should still keep selling to a customer that restrict access to the account his money is paid to, banned him from using the same currency and banned him from the medium of payment transfer (swift)? Such customer is a useless customer. They can go to hell.

No one thinks Russia is the only supplier of gas, but other alternatives are freaking expensive and the infrastructures are not even there. The EU doesn't have enough LNG terminals and to build enough will take at least the next five years, even as such, its expensive to ship from overseas compare to Just pump from pipeline with Russia.

If you think Russia went into this war without thinking and planning and careful examining all possibly scenerios, then you lost it. What's the big deal with Finland joining Nato? They endangered themselves. Putin will move icmbs to the border facing Finland. If the Finnish people want to live with missles facing their country, goodluck to them.

They've enjoyed peace without aggression from Russia since second world war, but the new generation of leaders that didn't fought war are so soft and daft, that they are joking with fire. Go check out the map and see that even though Finland has 1300km of border with Russia, they are mostly Arctic wasteland.

You can't compare the geography of Finland with Ukraine. Ukraine is Russia's heartland, facing their industrial base, had Russians speakers, controls the black sea, and the longest border. Lithuania, Estonia, Norway and Latvia all share borders with Russia and are all in nato, but Russia didn't worry because when it comes to war, those countries are not a threat at all.

And listen, this is not 19th century where other countries haven't catch up. Only China has a population that doubles the whole 30 EU countries, so just China will swallow all the oil the EU get. I know you love the west but you should examine the hard evidence.
I said no such thing, you gave a one sided narrative and I balanced it out with the other sides perspective with context.

Putin is free to do whatever he wants with his product and Finland is free to reject Putin's demands and take their money to another supplier which they just did.

Finland did not lose anything, but Putin lost a customer and money.

Putin's position can only hurt countries like Finland if he's the only supplier of that product, but he's not so it's easy for Finland to give him the middle finger.

Peny wise, pound foolish.

And the rest of your post has nothing to do with views, that's your own flawed. academic exercise.

See below, Finland is not playing with Putin, they saw him coming.

This kind of move to eventually stop buying Putin's products is gaining steam all over Europe, even the ones that can not afford to stop buying are putting infrastructures in place to eventually stop buying Putin's products.

I just don't know why Putin's fans are always detached from obvious realities and events unfolding before them.

pansophist:
Put yourself in Putin's shoe guys. Russia had no problem being paid in USD/Euros, until the west decided to weaponize their currency.

Firstly, they froze over 300 billion dollars of Russia's money in their bank. Then they cut off Russia from SWIFT, then Joe Biden signed a bill to restrict Usd to Russia, with other sanctions to destroy and cut off Russia from the international financial market.

So what do you expect Putin to do? Do you expect him to still collect usd/euros that he can't use, to be paid to account that is frozen? What's the use of such currency? So its common sense that he will demand payment in a currency he can use, otherwise he would be giving oil for free.

Putin made it clear to them that he is not at their mercy. If you won't pay me in a currency that I can use, then no gas for you. Simple. The west are not used to being sanctioned, they consider themselves having some divine immunity that they are shocked they will be paying for gas in rubles.

That single decision of "gas for rubles" has made the ruble the best performing currency. From 1 usd to about 150 rubles in March during the peak of the sanctions, ruble has stood strong that its now 1 usd to 63 rubles. The west lay their mat, they should lie on it.
When you refuse to sell, your customers won't hesitate to take their money to other suppliers, you lose that money and that customer, obviously, the customer did not lose anything, it's your loss.

Russia wants rubble, Finland gave Putin the middle finger and even added salt to Putin's injury and ego by applying to join NATO anyways.

I don't know why some of you think Russia is the only supplier of oil and gas, these are international commodities, is it not obvious that Finland prepared for this because they saw Putin coming with this foolish move from miles away?

Putin's loss is another seller's gain.

The rubble performing is a house built on quicksand, it's not real because it's based on state currency control, it's fake and unsustainable, it's like putting a bandage over an infected wound so there's nothing to celebrate here, the hurt and pain is there and eventually will surface to crash the rubble.
