Putin has suxcessful brought nato weapons to his border. Sweden and Finland are on their way to NATO.
It does not have to be ussr. Russia empire underwent metamorphosis to ussr. Imperialism comes in many forms.
Also note that Russia is also expanding her influence into west sphere of influence in Asia, Africa and South America. China is doing the same things.
Ukraine war is about land acquisition, sphere of influence and world domination.

Sweden and Finland have always been NATO leaning. Even Putin wasn't moved by their decision to make the relationship with the alliance formal as it was no surprise at all. Even at that, the Swedes have said they won't allow NATO station missiles on their territory. So it's all good.

Nice wet dream. When you're done, WAKE UP.

The Kherson Counter-offensive and the ZNPP special operations will forever be studied in military academies across the globe as great Ukrainian clusterf@#ks and how to play the deception game: Russian style. When I argued that the Russians were extremely quick learners of history and tactics, a number of folks laughed. Now same Russians are using Mongolian style tactics to show the western trained Ukrainians shege. NATO countries should really be scared and review their battalion/brigade level tactics.

It's probably the bill.

God forbid bad thing.

joyandfaith:

USSR was established through conquest and coercion. Putin wants to reestablish it through another conquest and coersion. That is the reason for Ukraine war.

Wrong. Putin is not interested in reestablishing the USSR. NATO's eastward expansion is the sole cause of this damn conflict.

Meanwhile, winter is coming...

My brother, it is the winter season I'm waiting to watch. Western Europe has already seen a number of it's govts removed (UK, Italy) with some like France loose it's majority. I'm willing to bet that it will get way worse when the hardship becomes totally unbearable (extremely high energy bills, high inflation rate, and probably a recession). In the USA, I honestly don't see the Democratic Party survive the midterm elections.

atsina Govt Donates 9 APCs To Aid Fight Against Banditry

by Godwin Enna 12 hours ago

The Katsina State government has donated nine Amoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) to be deployed in the frontline Local Government Areas (LGAs) mostly affected by banditry in the State.

Governor Aminu Bello Masari, who inspected the vehicles alongside some top government officials and security chiefs on Tuesday in Katsina, said with the addition of nine APCs, the State now has over 30 APC vehicles to fight the bandits.

Affirming that government will win the fight, even though it was a tough and challenging time, he said the government and security operatives are equal to the task of dealing with the situation.

“We are now working with the Commissioner of Police and also a local producer in Kaduna to produce more APCs. We have gotten the quotations and the IG has given us an additional two, we have paid for their repairs in Kaduna.

“With these nine, we have over 30 APC vehicles in Katsina State. Though I don’t know what the military have but from the Police and our efforts, I’m sure we have over 30 APC vehicles in Katsina, and more are still needed to confront this issue of bandits who are becoming more sophisticated and daring.

“Also working to provide relief to those who are seriously affected by the activities of bandits across the State. We have national and state programmes to provide succour to the victims.

“I’m happy to say that of recent, the response time of security operatives has improved. Whenever there is SoS, the response is always better than before, and I think we will continue with the cooperation of the people,” Masari said.

He then lamented the activities of informants, which he described as the biggest problem, urging members of the public to always report suspicious movements around them to security operatives for quick response.

What nonsense are those? The Katsina State govt couldn't buy vehicles from ProForce or the Nigeria Army itself ( Ezeugo MRAPs)?

Let's see....the Russian military,despite facing a near-peer adversary heavily armed, funded, and supported by NATO and a host if very rich and powerful countries, is still advancing in Ukraine taking territory and decimating the Ukrainian military. By the side, Russia's making a tonne of money from energy sales, is leading in the economic war against it, and has survived failed attempts to isolate it globally.

So please, tell me..how "pathetic" have the Russians become?

Russia dare not enter Kiev air zone. they can try from the occupied regions but they dare not enter Kiev. else they're gone. you're a liar Ukraine is pounding them heavily in Kherson more than 60 villages taken so far from Kherson oblast.

I'm not sure you're following the news from the Kherson front. Kherson?? Where the Ukrainians have already been routed with a part of the main forces trapped at the other side of the Inhulets river as the Russian AIR FORCE with Su-34 fighter bombers kept dropping FAB-500 bombs, destroying the Ukrainians pontoon bridges, while Russian ground forces crossed same river and then flanked the Ukrainians at their left. Same Kherson offensive that the Ukrainians can't even provide their troops a decent air cover while the Russians shot down about Ukrainian Mig-29s and a Mi-8 Hip Helo. Meanwhile the Russians are still flying CAS sorties almost everyday with Su-25 Floggers and Ka-52 Alligators with little to no competition from the Ukrainians. And it's not just Kherson but Zaporozhye also where Russian Army Aviation countered 2 disastrous Commando assaults launched by the Ukrainians.

As for Kiev, the Russians will face little or nothing there. The Russians have proven that they can reach out and touch Kiev with not just cruise missiles, but bomber strikes. For now, the focus is the eastern and southern fronts, not Kiev.

Zimzy:
For those who have been saying Europe cannot survive without Russian gas, the gas is presently not flowing from Russia, let us watch and see how Europe will die or crash because of the stop of Russian gas. No single nation has absolute monopoly of anything. Europe must have planned for this a long time ago even before the war in Ukraine.

No one is saying that Europe will die or something, but this winter is likely to be brutal. Keep in mind that the decision of Russia has spiked up gas prices in Europe way beyond $2500 pcm. That means utility prices go up in western Europe, along with prices of everything else leading to a nasty inflation. Already a number of European countries are experiencing double digit inflation, and Germany, Europe's economic power house, is about to enter a recession (that's if they haven't). Too add to their problems, the high gas costs means that production costs for goods and services in Europe are equally up, making them far less competitive compared to what comes out of China and India.

Putin truly played his cards right and the winners are not just Russia, but equally China and India. Hell, China is now an energy exporter! It buys cheap Russian energy and resells it to Europe at a higher markup!

okeysoninv:
you are the stupid person here. which air dominance, let Russia fly past Kiev let me see. when was the last time Russia plane even reach 20km off Kiev.
shame Russia for past 5wks hasn't make any significant gain in Eastern Ukraine. rather Ukraine is pounding them from one ammo Depots to another . from one bridge to another.

The Russians have been flying combat sorties over Ukraine and have even increased it to over 200 a day. RuAF Su-25 Rooks and Army Aviation Ka-52s have been flying combat sorties, yet no challenge from Ukranian Air force. Let the Ukrainians fly further east, and they'll know that RuAF Flankers plus S-400 platforms ain't joking. Even at the battlefronts in the south at Kherson, the Russians are just smacking down Ukrainian platforms here and there.

As for Kiev, all the Russians have to do is fly in their Mig-31s, and fire off their Khinzal hypersonic missiles at select targets. Better still send in Rooks from Belarus for SEAD ops over and around Kiev, then send in Tu-22s bombers or Su-34 fighter-bombers to drop their payloads on top of Kiev.

Sai Baba. Nigerians, 2023 is coming o. Let's get it right.

Most of these loan sharks are criminals. The government needs to look into their activities properly. Imagine one of the so-called loan sharks worker called me yesterday, complaining about one of my contacts that borrowed money.

I called the contact later to get more info. It turned out that he borrowed 15K to pay 23k in one week. Just imagine the rip-off.

On top of that, he asked for one week extension, but was denied.

This is not how loan firms operate in other countries. Their policies, interest rates, and debt recovery methods are something else.

But your contact signed up for it. Banks equally give loans with high interest rates.

When I discovered he was just a CIA stooge whi was stupid enough to get into a war with his father's mate to satisfy his boss in USA.
Now even cnn is reporting ukrainians are running into Russian held territory for safety now.
E don collect wotowoto,but the one dat pain me pass is that he is not affected at all by all this, I heard he stashed billions in a Netherland account last week.
One of the fools he led to fight Russia now is now cleaning toilets in donbass

Eweeeeeh! Chai...

NuclearWinter:


You don't because you will be the poorest as attested by Zik when he warned Igbo delegates of Eastern Nigeria Parliament to resist any attempt of the minority regions leaving the blighted eastern region.

You see my point? Kwantinue. In the end you'll still join the masses to suffer.

NuclearWinter:


How is it tribal for simply pointing that Igbos have never and will never support a return to true fiscal autonomy for states?

Can you point my tribalism for me for stating how Igbo politics which Obi shares will never see to restructuring .

By singling out the Igbos, you've turned this tribal. Btw how did you are at your point that all Igbos do not support true fiscal autonomy? Care to back up your claim with solid facts before you generalize? It's this stupid tribal politics you're trying to play that's killing this nation. Haven't you had enough?

Take this report with two large bags of Dangote salt. 80,000?? Out of about 200,000?? Yet the Russians are still taking Ukrainian territory and decimating the Ukrainian military? I call bullshyte on this.

NuclearWinter:
Why would he?

The SE survives on Federal handouts . A situation that was envisioned by Zik's Marxist centrist govt.

Did you hear him speak on State fiscal autonomy ? Never!

Dave Umahi is at least honest that his Ebonyi can't survive without Nigeria with federal handouts and so he rejected the Zionist Biafran project which he says will only see to his state becoming worse off financially .

So like every Igbo politician , do not expect Peter Obi to campaign on full state fiscal autonomy because his parasitic yeast would be the greatest tragedy if this was to be implemented.

Zik had warmed Igbo delegates and members of the old defunct eastern region parliament that an exit of the minority region from the old eastern region will see the region the poorest and employed all Igbo MPs to resist any attempt to see to the so-called minorities leaving the eastern region. When the matter went to the Federal Parliament owing to the Igbo dominated house stubbornly refusing to have the minorities present their case, the Igbos did the most unimaginable foolishness and assassinated all leaders of other regions including the PM who had thrown their weight behind the Minorities in the eastern region. The rest is history but history worth revisiting because it shows how desperate the Igbo man is to keep being fed by others and how their greatest nightmare is to be left to their own device. We do know that Igbos opened secret back door channels to get Gowon to integrate them back into Nigeria after the Niger Delta parts were liberated.

So from all indications, the Igbo have shown historically that they can not in anyway or form run their states without federal handouts. We saw the deadly silence from the Yeast after Wike's court victory over FIRS in collection of VAT revenue. Every other southern state governor applauded the judgement other than the Igbo governors .

Then there is the Igbo position on oil derravitive to oil producing states which they have always sided with the north . They kicked against OBJ's 25% derivative using third term as an excuse to throw both the baby and dirty water away. They sided with the north over the now settled onshore offshore dichotomy. A court ruled that the territorial waters are first the boundaries of the state and then the FG. Without that ruling, Akwa Ibom would still have been massively underdeveloped since all the oil revenue it gets comes from offshore oil wells.
Let me not even talk about the disastrous PIB that Igbos sided with the north to make rubbish of.

So how does Peter Obi intend to fix the system that he is very comfortable working with?

Does Peter Obi think that the problem is solely leadership despite the obvious being the very shaky and unfair system?

As long as Peter Obi refuses to address the issue of restructuring , treat him like your typical Igbo Abuja based contractor turned politician.

What's with this tribal politics you're trying to play? This is one of the plenty problems plaguing this nation. Why not argue out policies and market your candidate rather than resort to this stupidity of attacking a tribe? Abeg grow up.

DPK equally used as aviation fuel. I guess that's why it's equally very expensive.

Fan boys....Always excusing failure. Hope you are not also a Buhari supporter.

So says the west b.om-b.om cheek kisser. Sorry it still won't aide FasTrack your visa application. Too bad their proxy war and sanctions are not helping as Ukraine's getting seriously clapped by the Russians for quite sometime as western economies take a hit. Kpele.

And no, I'm not a Buhari supporter. Never have, never will be

come to the north and you'd know Nigeria depends on wheat-based foods. My friend is even a wheat farmer up there in the north and the demand is very high.

Pls educate me. What are these wheat-based foods that the north relies heavily on? Hey,maybe there's something I didn't take note of.

jimetagambo:

You think Nigeria revolves around Southern Nigeria ba

Aside North Africa, do you also know alot of food in East Africa is wheat based. Not all part of Nigeria let alone Africa is dependent on highly starchy food.

The North of Nigeria loves wheat very much

Care to point out where I said Nigeria revolves around one section of the country?

Caseless:
come to the north and you'd know Nigeria depends on wheat-based foods. My friend is even a wheat farmer up there in the north and the demand is very high.

I lived up north. Do tell, what major staple food up north consist primarily of wheat up north? Same north that grows sorghum, millet, corn? Pls let's get real here.

What's all this hatred against Wike? Keep in mind that the PDP really needs Rivers State's massive voting base during the Presidential elections and Wike is the main key to achieving that. Besides the success at Osun had more to do with the candidate Adeleke who has always been a favourite.

That said, congratulations to the PDP.

tempest01:


I thought the plan was to capture Kyiv three months ago?

The plan changed on week 2/3 of the conflict when President Zelensky announced that the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO was no longer feasible. Besides, the 1st/primary objective was always the Donbas region.

jimetagambo:

African leaders were begging Putin a couple of weeks ago to stop the blockade of Ukrainian wheat. Africans use wheat for semolina, wheat swallow, bread, spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, pastries e.t.c

Of course, the AU will meet with Putin. After all, the organization equally represents Northern African countries like Egypt, Tunisia, etc, which rely considerably on wheat. But the fact remains that Sub-Sharan Africa is NOT dependent on wheat-based meals. How many of us eat spaghetti, pastries, or macaroni? There are even many alternatives to semolina like garri, fufu, plantain flour, etc. It would've been a different case if it was rice, but wheat?? C'mon!

Fentynal. That's absolutely dangerous stuff even in minute quantity.
