owobokiri:I have been expecting it weeks before now. The Russians are having logistical issues. The Ukrainians have blown up the bridges. So Russia is finding it difficult to supply it troops on the other side of the river. The Ukrainians still don't believe that Russian will withdraw. They still believe it is a trap. It is still unclear. |
maasoap:The most talked About Iranian kamikaze drone shares no features with any US drone. The drones have no optical devices (cameras) on them. Unlike the US Kamikaze drone-Switch Blade, which has optical device on it. The drones are mini cruise missile. Russia installs it navigation system (GLONASS) on them. The drone is different. |
MMempire:No country in the world is fully prepared for nuclear war. The underground bunkers can only save people for a while. Russia has the highest number of underground metro rail lines in the world. The major cities in Russia has it own underground metro. The metros have the capacity to shield millions of ordinary Russians (not the elite) from air and nuclear attack. But the metros and the special bunkers being built in different part of the world can only save people for a while. Food, electricity, waste management e.t.c are going to be major problem in a long run. Nuclear weapon should not be fought. Although some people will survive. But it will end civilisation. |
Military has different departments and units. The entire 300k are not going to be deployed to the frontline. It doesn't work like that. The bulk of the 300k are going to be in charge of logistics. In modern warfare, the quantity of the troops at the frontline are always smaller compare to the ones in charge of the logistics and the one manning the supply line. The more land you seize, the more men you need to secure the land. |
OdumegwuOjukwu:Professor! Greatest Historian! Twale! Nuclear weapon was used to destroy Soddom and Gomorrah. Lol! Do you even know the full meaning of UFO? I hope that you not a teacher. |
Simeonjoe1:The Russians are focusing on a very important area in military technology-Missile Systems. Mig-31 armed with Khinzal Hypersonic Missile can put the whole US navy battle group at risk. Mig-31 is an old aircraft. But it is a launch platform for a very powerful missiles. Gone are those days when you deploy fighter jet to carry out deep strike on enemy territory. Fighter jets can now fire missiles from safe distance. They are also developing new types of long range hypersonic missile for the SU-57 too. Missiles/Drones are the future. Not plane. China is investing heavily in drone technology. In the next 10-20 years, China will surpass every other military super power in drone technology. Imagine the magic Russia did with the Iranian kamikaze drone. The drone does not has any optical device installed on them like other kamikaze drone (US switch blade, Israel drone e.t.c). This particular drone behave exactly like a cruise missile. They installed their navigation system (GLONASS) on it and turn it to cruise missile. So the drones can not be jammed because there is no communication link. It is like a fire and forget system. The drone is one of a kind. This is the reason you see the Ukrainians trying to shot it down with their gun. If Russia can develop a more powerful engine for the drone that will increase the speed drastically. Then it will be unstoppable. |
CoronaVirusRelo:The US can simply deploy it troops to Ukraine to fight. if she has the balls. At least it is better than telling Kiev to provide Ukrainians that will do the dying. While the US supply military/financial aids. |
mariahAngel:Bean dey consume gas ooooo. |
Danisaint112:Article 5 only exist on paper. US will not risk it territory and citizens for Ukraine or any other NATO member/members. Likewise France and UK. Israel won't even participate at all. The article 5 is only going to work in a conventional war, not a nuclear war. A real war will break the alliance. Putin is not bothered by what is going on in the NATO eastern flank. Although thousands of US & UK troops have been deployed to Poland, Romania e.t.c. He knows that NATO will never send those forces into Ukraine. |
Danisaint112:The nuclear weapon deployed in Europe by the US, are deployed against who? Or for what purpose exactly? Or is it just for fun? I used to wonder why people comfortably queue behind a country that is responsible for millions of death all over the world. But then I realise the power of propaganda. They lied to you to gain your support when they wanted to invade Iraq. They lied to you when they wanted to remove Gaddafi. They invaded Afghanistan and killed thousands because of one man. The same country nearly invaded Cuba because of it military ties with Russia. They are even telling Solomon Island not to form any military alliance with China or allow China build any Military base on it territory. The same country is telling you that Ukraine is a sovereign country and it has the right to join any military alliance and that Russia should stay calm, Ukraine joining NATO is not a threat. Is Solomon Island not a sovereign country. Many have been brainwashed and they don't know. They think like their slave masters and they believe they are smart. If you have a problem and you can not identify it. You can't solve such problem. |
Danisaint112:Weapon generally are always built in secrecy. But they are usually made public during launching. It is the same in US and Russia. Russia don't brag about her weapon. It is the West media that alway make Russian weapon popular and it is because of their numbers. The day Russia launch Zircon. The German media talks about it, French media, Italian Media British Media e.t.c. So by the time you see it on CNN, France24, DW, BBC, Washington Post, Newyork times e.t.c, you just assume it is the Russians talking about it. Zircon was unveiled once and when it was tested, it was all over the news. We know about the US hypersonic missile program. It is in the news. Nothing is hidden. You may know about the new weapon systems. But their capacities are always classified. No one can tell you today, what the Zircon missile look like. We know it exist. But no one apart from the manufacturer has seen it. |
joyandfaith:Putin is not a dictator. Buhari killed protesters several times (Biafrans, Shites, End sars e.t.c). In Russia protesters are confronted by riot police armed to shields and sticks. They arrest, detain and free the protesters. The pro-West activist-Navany, was also arrested and they took him to court. Also assassination happens in Russia. But it is the same everywhere, even in US. |
Danisaint112:People don't understand what this war is all about. The US left it own territory that is thousands of kilometers away, and transferred some of it own nuclear weapon to Europe (Turkey, Germany, Belgium, Italy and Netherlands), all in the name of protecting it allies. US is safe, likewise NATO. US is a nuclear state. Nobody is going to attack the US. NATO is also safe. Russia is not going to attack her. Unless Putin wants to commit suicide (30 countries against one). The problem is the military bases the West iare building around Russia. It is threat to Russian survival. So you expect Russia to stay calm and do nothing. Before calling this war a meaningless war, may be you should find out the root cause of this war. Russia will fight this war to the last man. Their survival depend on it. Because if they loose, NATO will take over Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus e.t.c and Russia will be isolated. Imagine NATO wakes up one day and say it closing it airspace to Russian plane. Which they already did. Now imagine Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus have also joined. This is one of the consequences, Russia will get, if it allows Ukraine to join NATO. |
Uprightness100:The Ukrainians that blew up the Crimea bridge, killing civilians are heroes. Likewise the ones that killed Darya Dugina. But the Palestinians that are doing the same thing as the Ukrainians, are called terrorists. The Ukrainians see Russia as the aggressor. Just the same way, the Palestinians see Israel as the aggressor, and they are fighting back, just like the Ukrainians. I don't care whose side you are on. But let it be on record that your slave masters (the collective West) are the greatest of the greatest terrorists in the world. |
VictorUSA:How and with what exactly? Is it the rockets they make from used materials, that they want to use to destroy Israel? Or the stones they normally throw at Israelis security officials, that they will use to destroy Israel? |
saxywale2:The Northern Africa countries (except Libya) are in different league. Security is the most important for government. You can spend years building prosperity and very strong economy. A two day war can destroy the economy and prosperity that you spend years to build. For a country to survive. It must be able to protect itself effectively from both internal and external enemy/enemies. |
CoolAmbience:He meant West-controlled FIFA. Most of these confederations are controlled by the West. |
okeysoninv:The US is not that stupid. They will never launch air raid on Russia or China using aircraft carriers. The moment you launch the aircrafts, the aircraft carrier can be put out of action by one or two Khinzal Hypersonic Missiles launched from the Mig-31. The missile can be fired from 2000km away. Remember it was used to destroy a moving train conveying Ukrainian troops to the battlefield some months ago. |
osazsky:What is this? |
NotBeenPaid:The Western companies leaving Russia are paying a heavy price. They went to Russia to expand their businessess. Now they are being forced to leave. Imagine selling an asset that worth $10b for $4b and in addition, you even loose the Russian customers. Every gap they leave behind will be filled by the Russians themselves, Chinese, Turkish, Indians, Western Oligarch e.t.c They should ask mcdonald's , how the company is doing now after the Russians took over. Russia is a developed country. The EU sanctioned export of food to Russia after the Russians took over Crimea in 2014. Today Russia is the biggest exporter of food (grain) in the world. Sukhoi makes military planes as well as commercial planes. KAMAZ makes some of the best trucks in the world for both military and commercial use. Russians are builders. The West is always myopic in thinking. The feels the world depend on their technology. But it is just a fallacy. Without the Europeans and the Chinese, Russians will never stop using phones, cars e.t.c. Sometimes we buy what we can produce, if it makes a very good economic sense. Saudi Arabia buys some of it refined oil from Russia today, mainly because they realise that it is cheaper to buy from Russia than to produce it themselves. |
bn365:Anytime the West mention international community. They are referring to themselves. |
okeysoninv:I don't even understand a thing. Well good night sir. |
okeysoninv:Russia has a very big army. Most of her regular can not leave Russia. She also has a very big territory to man. In Kaliningrad, there are Russian troops there. They are protecting the territory against NATO. So Kaliningrad is heavily militarised. Same in Siberia (artic region). Russian nuclear carriers are concentrated in the artic. If there is war between US and Russia. The artic will become the launching pad for Russia against the US. Same in the Baltic, Caspian e.t. When you hear, that Russian has 800k troops. Most of the troops are manning Russian borders with the enemy/potential enemy or enemies. The less than 200k troops sent to Ukraine are the troops they could afford to send on an offensive outside Russia. Since they are insufficient to do the job. Reservists are called upon to complement them. Because they can not pull out their regular troops maning their borders with unfriendly countries. |
RepoMan007:300k reservists are currently undergoing training, which will be completed by Dec/Jan/Feb. The Wagner is also recruiting/training it own fighters. There are also volunteers undergoing training too. There are about 150k or more troops that are already at the frontline. So do the maths. We are looking at around 600k troops, with these numbers, the Russians will be unstoppable. They can still call up more reservists if necessary. The Russians are trying to hold the line, at the same time inflict heavy losses on the Ukrainians. They are also carrying out massive bombardment of the Ukrainians infrastructures. They are trying to disrupt the Ukrainians supply line and at the same time force the civilians to put pressure on the Ukrainian government. The best of the best of Ukrainian troops are in Kherson. They are well trained and heavily armed. In fact, some were trained in UK. But they are finding it difficult to take Kherson from the Russians, despite using HIMARS to take out several Russian arm and fuel depots. Russia will win this war and it influence will stretch from Africa to Asia to North America to South America to Europe. |
Goodvibes007:Of course Russia has more to gain. When part of Russian defence line in Kherson is flooded, they will be able to defend it well. Russian troops are having the upper hand in Kherson for now. They are inflicting heavy casualties on the Ukrainians on a daily basis. The Ukrainians are throwing everything they have on the frontline in Kherson. Their best troops are in Kherson (including the troops trained in UK & elsewhere). They having been battling the smaller in size Russian troops (but heavily armed) in months. Russia may retreat to the other side of the river eventually. But before they do that. They would have done unrepairable damage to the Ukrainian troops. |
Babachukwu:There is no civilians government in Nigeria that has done well in infrastructure like the Buhari led administration. The upgrade of our major airports (Lagos & Abuja), Rail project, Lagos-Ibadan road (90% completed), 2nd Niger Bridge e.t.c were done majorly under this administration. But they failed woefully in the two most important areas, SECURITY & ECONOMY. |
TriitNG:The most expensive fighter jet in the world, falling from the sky without being shot down everyday. I hope they don't deploy it to the Baltic, so that it doesn't crash on Russian soil. |

Akuruoulo:You can Google it. |
joyandfaith:In a war, when you seize territory, you man that territory. Now tell me, how can you distribute your soldiers in a country as big as Ukraine? To occupy Lviv alone, you will need more than 100k. Lviv is the largest region in Ukraine. It is the logistical hub for foreign weapon/mercenaries. Western analyst were convinced that Russia was not going to attack, because they felt Russia needed minimum of 500k troops for a start, if she is serious about conquering. So despite US warning, Zelensky, Most Western leader and Western analyst thought Putin won't dare invade with such small troops. Imagine deploying 30k troops to take a Kiev. A city of more than 4 million people. The 30k troops normally was not suppose to the gate of the capital. But they did. When they got to the gate of Kiev, they were ordered not to bombard the city. Russia could have subjected the capital to land and air bombardment. But they didn't. Putin was waiting for negotiation. He was not interested in capturing. He wanted to put pressure on Zelensky to negotiate. But didn't happen. If the government arm every Lagosians. Trust me, 300k US troops will be buried in Lagos if they invade us. |
Dalil8:Poland hates Russia more than any other country in the world. |
TonySpike:When both civilians started suffering, it will change. |
