Once Russia stops caring about civilians who are even armed, the war will end. Sunday will mark the beginning of the end of Ukrainian resistance.

Tell that to Chechnya

I'm no financial expert, but I'll say this: I don't think the west fully understand the man (Putin) they're dealing with. This is a man with a long history in counter-intelligence. What I'm basically trying to get at is that Putin has never been known to be a man who rushes to a decision without taking his time to thoroughly analyze a situation. I'm willing to bet that Putin did his homework before initiating this war. And so far he's played his card close to his chest, and played the world well until 24th February, 2022.

But hey, it's my opinion.

UP NEPA!

FTC SECOND PAGE....

EVEN IF THEY DID ASK FOR MILITARY ASSISTANCE DO U THINK CHINA WOULD BE DUMB ENOUGH TO DIVULGE SUCH INFORMATION.... NOBODY WEY NO DEY FEAR SANCTION

EVEN THE CHINESE UNDERSTANDS THAT GOING HEAD TO HEAD WITH NATO AND EUROPEAN UNION IS A BAD IDEA... RUSSIA ECONOMY IS NOT THE MOST PROFITABLE SOIL RIGHT NOW FOR EVERY RIGHT THINKING BUSINESS MAN

Not the most fruitful. Russia is the 5tj largest supplier of oil and gas. China is the number ONE energy consumer. Russia is equally one of the largest producers of wheat. At a time that oil prices have gone up along with the commodity prices, imagine China buying Russian oil and gas for it's hungry industries at a discount, or wheat for it's teaming masses. You still think that's not lucrative?

This is strange. The Chinese usually rely on the Russians for the purchase of weapons, especially aircraft, aircraft engines, missiles, etc. The Chinese UAV/UCAV tech is extremely sophisticated, but the Russians can equally hold their own. This claim from the Americans make no sense. Anyway if true I don't see the Chinese honour the demand from the Americans.

Aaah...Akure...my dad worked there from 1995 to 1998. 'lived at Algbaka GRA. The pics bring back memories.

My man you are you own problem, no matter how much you save, its still won't be enough for your life and future, sometimes life is not really about how much you save, its about how much you are ready to face life....... i was once a business owner, i thought my business could sustain me to any length, because my income at the end of the month sometimes is more 50k....... but during the covid19 pandemic, everything crash up,............... i picked up myself, and applied for a job where i am currently earning less than 50k monthly and am married with a kid................. I pay house rent and feed my family with this few money....


How am i surviving? i don't f$cking know.....

I doff my hat to you. Your future is bright. Respect.

Betterprospect:
Good day Nairalander. I'm single, 30 years old. I studied agriculture related course at University level, and I presently worked in that field and I earned about 120k monthly.

I feel unfulfilled and I'm lacking interest day after day. The unfulfillment brewed mostly from my bosses egoistic and narcissistic approach to his employee, the insane working hours, and the lack of liberty, and most importantly, I feel I could do better. Now I have a meagre 2 million naira saved up, small? I know. Buy I'd like to pursue my passion in tech albeit from ground zero.

Now my dilemma is:

1. Seeing that I'm old and already past my prime for a career change at 30 yrs old, does a pursue of another career make sense?

2. Knowing that 2 million is small and would not last long. Does is it make sense to just up and leave?

3. I have a small biz I ideal which I feel could give me close to 50k monthly, but thing is, this is Nigeria and I might be wrong.

4. Should I just suck it up and continue for another year or two? Everyone I asked seems to think I should.

P,S. I worked 12 hours a day and its impossible I merge the two together.

You are still very young and you can definitely make a switch to tech. Don't be so hard on yourself. People are even making that switch at 40+. I suggest you draw up an action plan for yourself. Determine what intend to do in the tech field and how you intend to achieve it. Then INVEST in yourself (online courses, ebooks, etc). It will take a considerable sacrifice, but you will be fine.

SWAG 10/10. Correct.

The United States will surely get involved now

No they won't.

A lot of Putin supporters are yet to come to terms with the simple reality that Putin has made a mockery of himself and Russian military might in this invasion of Ukraine.
Imagine the number of worn out and abandoned Russian military artillery all over Ukraine.
Russia should be ready to give a critical thought before trying to engage any country more sophisticated than Ukraine in the slightest because they may not survive it.
All I see is that minus nukes, Russia is just another average country that can't easily over run any country that is ready to go head on with them

It took the combined arms of USA, UK, Poland, etc to defeat a much weaker Iraq in 40+ days during the 2nd Gulf War of 2003. Yet Russia is expected to have run over Ukraine in just 17 days? Sure they've lost some assets, but has that stopped the Russian advance? Right now Mariupol I about to fall and seige of Kyiv has begun. Russian air and missile strikes are already hitting targets in west Ukraine near Lviv. The Russians have only begun. By the time they're through, the Ukrainians will fully understand why Vladimir Putin won the 2nd Chechen War.

Ojiofor:
Best senario for Ukraine.Already Creamia and other Russia speaking region is gone for good and many more will fellow.Russia will occupy Kiev.

The way I forsee this conflict, the Ukrainian govt will relocate to Lviv. As you rightfully mentioned Donbas is gone, Crimea is gone. Ukraine may likely lose their southern coastal region.

SeeThisLoser:
NATO occupy half of Syria which is inhabited by the Kurds and other Syrians. NATO has no strategic interest in Syria. Meanwhile Israel continues to show Syria pepper.

Assad has lost half of his country and this ecomony is in shambles. He lost the war.

You better go and look at the situation map of Syria again. A few things:

*NATO is not directly involved in the Syrian war

*The Assad regime presently controls MOST of Syria

*The Americans had withdrawn to the eastern oilfields under Trump.

*The Turks have a buffer zone only at Erbil, Northern Syria.

yanabasee:
You can't compare Russia nuclear with a collective nuclear weapons from all concerned NATO countries...

Russia has the HIGHEST stockpile of nuclear warheads. 'nuff said...

NigeriaNawa:
Your baby Russia is about to learn a bitter lesson.

Yeah, we heard that 17 days ago. Yet the Russian juggernaut continues to advance...

Arrant nonsense. So the Russians should just sit by and watch the movie inflow of arms and ammunition meant SPECIFICALLY to kill them? My advice to the Russians:

*Place surveillance teams at the western borders of Ukraine
*Allow the arms convoy in
*BLOW THEM UP TO SMITHEREENS!

naijaguy123456:
Putin you’re going to hell.

And who will take him there? You?

Believe that 12,000 dead report at your own risk. And the source is The Sun......'nuff said.

Awwww....another African Magic production. Seriously though, congratulations...I guess..

Okay...so? Isreal used white phosphorus bombs during the last Gaza crisis. No one from NATO complained then.

His dogs are being decimated like flies. If he's a strong man as he claims, let him show face like Ukrainian president who travels to meetings and still comes home to sleep in Kiev.

All this story na rubbish.

Tell that the Ukrainians. How'd u like em thermobaric rockets?

Prosperous111:


That's just a threat. If Russian army can fire this nuclear weapons to Ukraine it would cause mass disasters and something more than wars could break out.

Why not infiltrate kyiv with his army if they're strong to that extent?

Help us beg Putin make he no use that thing for Ukraine oh

Multiple TOS-1 systems have been deployed. One was used on Saturday night. The Russian Armoured juggernaut is slowly surrounding major population centres. My guess is that the squeeze is about to begin, and those themobaric weapons will be used to break the resistance.

Omicron007:






Less than a week into the war and he wants to press the Nuclear button already...
This tells you how weak Putin's army is.

Almost half of the offensive have crossed borders into Ukraine. Yet, he is left with no option than to go nuclear.

If Putin nukes Ukraine or any country, he is a sore loser. What if he was fighting USA, NK or UK?

Russian heavy armour just crossed in yesterday. Ukrainian power plants are being captured while oil depot's and gas lines are blown up. Major cities are being encircled. Soon the cordon round each city will begin to tighten. Systems like the TOR-1 are even yet to unleash their thermobaric rounds. Russia has not started yet.

YoungBlackRico:
lol they should throw their borders open to potential terrorists?

See what I'm talking about? So the Syrians are all potential terrorists now, right? How would you feel if all Nigerians were labelled potential fraudsters, ritualists, killer herdsmen, and thieves?

Take out the oil depot, take out the field for Ukrainian's military machines.

Take out the gas lines, Ukrainian freezes in the ongoing winter.

Has anyone noticed that Western Europe has thrown it's borders open to the Ukrainians, yet complained harshly when Syrian refugees came for help (exception being Germany under Merkel). I guess the Syrians weren't "white" enough. Oh well...

blamingthedevil:
A country don't have it alone Mr Man.

SWIFT - Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication - acts as the Gmail of global banking services.

He's right, the Russians built an alternative to SWIFT, the SPFS. The Chinese equally built the CIPS that's being marketed globally as an alternative to the American+British controlled SWIFT system.

Truly, the Ukrainians are resorting to misinformation. The Russians initially used just a part of it's invasion force (mostly VDV Paratroopers). They rolled in the heavy stuff today (T72B3 MBTs, TOR-1 platforms with thermobaric rockets, more BTRs and BMPs, etc). Right now Kharkiv is experiencing it's worst shelling. And the Russians haven't even rolled out it's Su-34 Fullback fighter bombers, or even the heavy Backfire bombers. So when did they approach Kazakhstan for troops? It makes absolutely no sense.

Igbofam2:
Magomed Tushayev, one of Ramzan Kadyrov’s top warlords, has been killed in action in Hostomel.

Magomed Tushayev is one of the commanders of the 10,000 Chechen soldiers deployed by Kadyrov on behalf of Putin

Ukraine’s elite Alpha Group is reportedly fighting Chechens in the airfield.

Hold on.......Hostomel Airport?? Same Hostomel Airport that's already firmly in Russian hands as a Russian Armoured Column arrived from Belarus to back up the VDV Paratroopers who initially captured the airport? There's too much misinformation online right now.

Funny part of this whole crisis is that Western Europe has opened it's borders to Ukrainian refugees.......but complained when Syrian refugees sought help in same western Europe. I guess they were not "white" enough....oh well.

Frankly I don't think it was a wise last stance. 13 Border Guards against 1 Russian Warship armed with cruise missiles, cannons, CIWS, heavy machine guns, and probably its own contingent of Russian marine infantry onboard? In my opinion the Island was indefensible and they should've withdrawn to the mainland to fight another day. That said, peace to the fallen warriors. Balls of steel right there.
