What right does Russia has for invading Ukraine, EU can't be blamed for any action they took.

The right of invasion invasion. You guys don't know anything about international relations. Go and educate yourself.

US will regret ever voting for Donald Trump again.

If I asked you what action you would have taken to bring peace to Ukraine if you were Trump you will probably go quiet. That is not a statement but a question for you. Please provide me an answer.

This is why Aftica is not going anywhere since independence. I don't even know who agreed to give these idi*its independence.
This is the only continent where a leader will boldly appoint only the people from his region and expect everyone to pretend it doesn't matter. Buhari did it and Tinubu is following.

Sorry to say. Buhari did not do what Tinubu is doing. For months past any appointments in the South is a Yoruba man or South West person. Even if he appoint in Kwara and Kogi he will still look for someone with your extraction. Buhari appointment was for all North.

Well, you can believe whatever you want to believe no problem. So Poland, which joined NATO, and Finland, which later joined after Putin invaded Ukraine, are not bringing NATO to the Russian doorstep. i just checked the Russia map now, and even Finland is bordered by Russia, so has that not brought NATO into the Russian border? You people just believe anything for the sake of believing it. For once Ukraine has a lot of Lithium Rare earth metal and you all know the world is gradually planning a way of moving away from Crude oil by making a lot of EV cars at the moment, you will agree with me that electric car is the future and if electric car is the future that automatically means battery is the future automatically means Lithium is the future. So what happens if tomorrow the world no longer needs crude oil and gas, then you want Russia to cease to exist. Russia has made all its money from selling Oil and gas for all these years.

All this your reasons are just something outside the box. My previous comments and post from chatGPT has given you the real reason not story by noon light.
So countries without oil and other minerals don't exist since you think those things would have made Russia not to exist as though oil has been there for time immemorial.

When Hitler had captured several nations during world war two. Which country was it route to Russia? Ukraine and Russia has long history in terms of nationalism. They are both closer to each other than any formal USSR nation, not Poland and the rest. Some part of Ukraine speaks Russian dialect. They have some common history . Ukraine is far bigger than Poland in terms of size. We are talking about reality you are looking at map. Hitler would have used Ukraine to get access to Russia not Poland. Nigeria has borders with several African countries but there are borders that matters the most. I have even typed this before I decided to ask CHATGPT this question and he just told me what I knew and some which I told you already. Who is now following propaganda between us.

That's a very interesting geopolitical question — and yes, this idea has actually been a major point in international relations.

✅ Was Ukraine meant to be a "buffer zone" for Russia?

Historically yes — many analysts believe that:

Russia has long wanted neighboring countries like Ukraine, Belarus, and others to be neutral zones between itself and Western military influence (like NATO).

In Russian strategic thinking, Ukraine has been seen as a buffer state protecting Russia from Western powers and providing a protective distance from NATO forces.



---

Why does Russia see it that way?

History & Security: Russia was invaded multiple times from the west (Napoleon, Hitler), so it became obsessed with having friendly or neutral countries on its borders.

NATO Expansion: After the Soviet Union collapsed, many Eastern European countries joined NATO. Russia didn't want Ukraine — a large Slavic country right on its border — to join NATO as well.

Spheres of Influence: Russia still sees Ukraine as part of its traditional sphere of influence, not a pro-Western state.



---

What about Ukraine's perspective?

Ukraine wants to be sovereign, choose its own alliances, and many Ukrainians want to move closer to the EU and NATO for protection and development.

They don’t want to be a buffer or puppet state — they want independence and self-determination.



---

So your question in one line:

> Russia WANTS Ukraine to act as a buffer zone for its own security, but Ukraine considers itself a sovereign country and doesn’t want to be treated that way.
Would you like a visual summary or a simple map explanation of NATO/Russia borders? That can help make it even clearer.

African leaders are still stupid because you don't have to tell the world to change it. By the time all African nation begin changing it in our education sector, geography and all aspect of our national engagement the world will follow.

European leaders the peace pretenders. Them dey set kite for Zalenskey brain and head.

Osebanjo:
LOL. South south and South east never for once like anything APC and you and I know that. That’s peter Obi base. What’s happening here is GEJ looking to split both the SS/SE votes with Obi and then splitting the traditional northern PDP/Atikus vote while APC retain their SW and NW zone while stealing little votes from others base. SMH

And you believe that if GEJ decided to contest that Obi will contest with him. Learn, my brother learn.

When we say Obi cannot win the next election we know what we are talking about. This is what is expected in the next election. They only way that they could win is Atiku Obi. Or Jonathan then Atiku stepping aside

This by election no even concern me self. Voting for people that would later decamp to APC was useless.

fxexperts:
Even when it is obvious to you that these men are fighting for the rare earth minerals in Ukraine, people like you still choose to believe the propaganda you have been told. The USA wanted it with NATO, and it was sure Ukraine would have struck a deal with the West for these minerals, and Putin wanted I; that was why he acted fast to get the rare earth minerals for himself. He annexed Crimea earlier on because of the abundance of crude oil there and succeeded without any form of confrontation.

You are the one that is following propaganda. It was beyond earth minerals. Those are the spoils of war. It's about national security. When Israel attacked Iran was it for mineral or security threat. Ukraine bringing NATO to Russia door step was a security threat to Russia. If you have been following the war you will have heard several times that Zalenskey has repeatedly told NATO that they should accept Ukraine to join NATO. It was all about NATO. When Ukraine was invaded in the first week Ukraine told Putin that they have agreed not to join and that they want peace deal which Russia agreed to until Boris Johnson and USA official came to Ukraine and told them to continue fighting that they would support them. A ceased fire would have been agreed on the first week.

fxexperts:
Look at this one you really think you are smart, but damn you are far from it. you just decide to go with the crowd opinion that suits you. you do not know anything about what stated the war. you think those tw men care about Ukraine joining nato, even when Trump has come out to let you know the reason the way started you are still here using your imagination for rubbish to twist narrative.

Please I will like to know what started the war.

Penguin2:
What will happen to those numbers?

Whose base is South South?

And who will win the Christian North?

You think the governors in South South are decamping to APC to go and play Ping pong. APC wants to use the whole of the Southern votes apart from the Eastern votes for consolidation. Those numbers does not exist anymore. To make matter worst many people aren't even voting.
As long as Obi, Atiku are in the ballot please tell me what will change this time.

Penguin2:
I’ve been one of the biggest GEJ apologists since his ouster from power in 2015.

But if he fails to see the game they are trying to use him to play and falls for it, then I will agree with Baba Obasanjo that he’s truly “clueless”.

How does one leave the status of statesmanship and the global phenomenon that he has become to start running around for campaign?

What if he loses? Do you know what that will do to his brand?

In 2027, the north would have to choose between Obi’s presidency and Tinubu’s continuity.

The ball is in their court.

Remove Obi because as far as the North are concern Obi does not exist in the North. Why do you think they are courting Jonathan. If Jonathan knows that the coast is clear then nothing can stop him from winning. So he need to have assurance that Atiku will sit aside. It's high time you guess stopped thinking that Obi will be allowed to win 2027 election. He has only one base right now, which is South East. Those numbers he had in the last election he won't have them this time.

Two dictators who don't respect the constitution of their countries & sovereignty of other countries.


These two authoritarian heavyweights are threat to world peace

This meeting is waste of time without president zelensky of Ukraine

Who be this one again. You are always at the wrong side.

Righteousness2:
My Brother, ISRAEL exists in these same 12 tribes till today and identify themselves with their various tribes.
I hv friends in ISRAEL from the tribe of Judah. One is a Pastor who goes round the world preaching About JESUS and His covenant with ISRAEL.

Thanks for this information. That means they even kept their tribes intact.

I have everything.

Guestmale:
Where did you get this from?

Do your research right from when NATO was formed. Who it was formed against, the dissolution of USSR about NATO expansion. After the dissolution of Warsaw NATO was not supposed to expand to Eastern Europe. But NATO did not care however the red line was Ukraine. If you have watched documentaries of years ago you will understand all these things. Some NATO past officials and even USA politicians and generals have debated about Ukraine joining NATO and it has been flag of. So it's not a today discussion about whether if Ukraine can join NATO or not. Forget all the lies you see amongst the European leaders they knew that Ukraine can never be part of NATO but because they love war, satanist, evil they encourage Zalenskey and he was stupid enough to believe them.

TheVictorious:
Is south east a tribe or a region??

Stop confusing yourself bro

Also, it's okay to say no south easterner has taken the position, which I concurred to earlier today in one of the replies. But stop gaslighting Igbos in other regions like they're not Igbo enough because they're not from the southeast

You get my point that is the key thing here.

As an individual or group of people you cannot stop rigging. Even in the eyes of election observers both local and international these people still rig. They don't care about their image they lack integrity. When I hear we shall protect our votes in 2027 it makes me laugh. It's does people that control INEC, police, agbaro and the State that determine rigging of election. Not in any Obidient movement or any movement.

"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, And shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob." (Rom 11: 25 & 26)

God does not abandon His covenant like men do with marriages etc. He may have occasionally punished them and extended the gospel of grace to the gentiles, but He is bound by His words.

If you're a Christian, then you're a Christian, not. Jew or Israelite. Anywhere the Bible mentions Israel, it's talking about this same Israel. Nothing like 'spiritual' Israel.
Why do you think Israel cannot be defeated, despite being surrounded by enemies?? You think America's greatness is down to their "individual brilliance" as humans?

Or you think they don't know what they're doing?Or you think God does not play a part in the affairs of men today as individuals, society, or nation? Not everything is down to physical efforts or a lack of it. This life is more spiritual than physical.

It's sad when I see Christians saying the present Israel are not the real Israel. It makes me wondered who are they. Where are they from and who is their teachers. They are several scriptures you can see that will show you they are or that will enable them to believe. Even the covenant that God gave Abraham was an everlasting covenant. God spoke to the fathers and prophets about these things. It's very sad what they believed in.

Immatex:
God has no business with today’s State of Israel.

His covenant with the People of Israel has since been closed especially since they as nation reject Christ.

However, the Senator is correct. The state of Israel will be wiped out by the Islamic nations surrounding it if they could.

Israel can only survive by continuing to defend itself

Which Bible you dey read. Sometimes I wonder the kind of Christians we see around. You know that when someone no know book them go say the person dull. You are a very dull Christian.
What covenant did God entered with Abraham and what did God said to the prophets.
It's sad when Christians says that the current State of Israel were not the real Israel. When God already told them that they will be scattered abroad and a time will come that God would gathered them across the Nations they were scattered to. The only sensible argument anyone can come up with is to say Israel does not exist in tribes like as it was the 12 tribes of Israel but to say Israel is gone and the present people aren't from old that is the highest level of Christian dullness.

ADC will win the two seats up for grabs in Anambra on Saturday.

Bookmark this.

Not even the worst of rigging will save Solo Nwamgbafor.

That will not stop them to decamp to APC later. Politicians are betrayers like those LP law makers who later moved.

Some people sabi reason upside down oo.. Na which kind talk be this one? So Zelensky went and begged Putin to come takeover ukraine. NL go really see something for Nigerians hand.

More like asking if a person lost his money before armed robber visited his home.

😂😂😂 At your ignorant jor. You don't even no nothing about the war. I believe it was after the invasion you became aware of it. To you because Russia invaded Russia they have become the aggressor not knowing that this did not even began now. The whole world knew that Ukraine was a buffer zone and was never supposed to become part of NATO. So it's known, it was an unwritten agreement and even written in some way.
But Zalenskey decided that he most join NATO.
Before the invasion he thought NATO we help him but I was shouting if he could hear me that please do not listen to NATO they will not fight for you.

worksmart:
Ibe Kachukwu is Igbo and appointed by Buhari that Igbos love to call nepotistic , Igbos that happen to fall within Delta state is still Igbo.

I am Igbo I am tired of you people complaining about marginalisation, but non of you are taking any steps to address it other than crying online.

As far as we referred to them as Delta Igbo they are not truly an Igbo people. We don't call the Igbos from South East Imo Igbo but Igbo.
So any appointments from outside South East you haven't appointed an Igbo man..

TheVictorious:
What are you talking about bro


Some parts of Dellta state are literally Igbo, like Onicha Ugbo where Kachikwu hails from

As far as the country is concern South East remain an Igbo tribe. Igbo is yet to take that office whether the name is an Igbo name does not matter.

This war is beyond defending your country's sovereignty which Ukrainians are aware of, it was a stupid war to have started. Zalenskey led Putin on to invade because he thought that he could use the war to his advantage. You are losing big time and yet you are the one setting the conditions for a negotiation. You are making demands that you cannot forcefully take.
Is level of stupidity was very high. I know he was misled but he was too stupid to believe the West and NATO after the taking of Crimea. Now more lands have been taken with lots of deaths.

TheVictorious:
Okay, please check well sir...

How about Mr. Ibe Kachikwu?

He is from Delta State. So they have right not to call him an Igbo.

Since you cannot force them to stop the war then look for alternative means to do so. Except war which is the most senseless decision that nobody will take.

Hmmmmm2024:
Russia is fighting a war with Ukraine...so Russia can be begged to stop...Russia is not fighting China or America...so don't generalize the begging...the same Russia recruiting military from other countries to fight small Ukraine not even up to the size of Lagos 😂😂😂

Who posted this most be on real weed. How can you say Lagos is bigger than Ukraine. No State in Nigeria is bigger than Ukraine. Ukraine size is about 60 percent of the size of Nigeria.

Vision101:
Fighting corruption in Nigeria is the most difficult job. Public office holders device various ways, use all manner of connections, offer irresistible bribes, manipulate the legal system and in worst cases threaten lives. For all the money in world I will never accept this job.

It's a simple fact. Even the person fighting corruption is corrupt too. No public holder appointed to any offices that are not corrupt, including EFCC chairman.
