Russia will still not stand a chance

Most people view war as video game. US killed the Iranian general and Iran responded by attacking US base in Iraq with missiles. The whole world expect the US to respond. But they didn't. You want to know why?

It is the cost. Before embarking on a Military campaign, you assess the cost.

Well, it depends on who the aggressor is. If the aggressor is Russia, she will loose to NATO. But NATO is the aggressor. NATO will loose to Russia. It is highly impossible to defeat Russia at home. Likewise China.

Ok

without nuclear weapons, usa will destroy Russia over and over

Ok

gistray:
So it's now a competition

The UK pushed the Ukrainians into this war. They should do more.

Noviagro:
Russian soldiers are just overrated because of their immense weapons and nuclear capability but their tactical approach is nothing to write home about.

Russian military is not overrated. The javelin and the stinger are proliferated in Ukraine. These two weapons can inflict a lots of damage on the stronger military on earth (US).

Rastaramsey:
Kill them all... I am still waiting for Russia to invade Poland because them dey supply Ukraine
Na then they go know say NATO no be boys scout

Lol! The war between Russia and NATO will not be fought with tanks and fighter jets. It will be fought with ICBM, Submarine (and may be warships to counter enemy submarine) and strategic bombers. It is going to be swift and devastating.

gistray:
They said they have to check the people before letting them in


Stop this useless headlines confusing people.


Idiots

So far, Poland has received 750,000. While UK has only received 30,000.

Faiththatworks:
Vladimir Putin is a very very foolish man,I have never made a comment of the senseless war Russia started in Ukraine,but I'm highly disappointed in Putin.
I'm also very bemused at the pro Putin comments on Nairaland,I'm very very sure a lot of Bots from outside Nigeria have invaded Nairaland to propagate the Kremilin disinformation propaganda.
Back to Putin,Russia has never fought a direct war since the end of the World War 2,all Russia does is fight proxy wars all over the world.
Their misadventures into Afghanistan and Chenchen ended in massive defeat for the Russian army.
Now Putin has done another terrible mistake, trying to outflank a whole country from its 4 corners,only a terrible and power drunk idiot like Putin will try these absurd war strategy.
For those who don't understand,it's like a country trying to attack Nigeria from the 4 corners of Nigeria,using the sea,land and air.
For how long will the Russian army hold down conquered territories,War is gradual,u conquer a territory,install some authority there and moved to another territory.. That's how Adolf Hitler nearly conquered Europe,but like every power drunk fool,he overlooked the resistance of the people of Europe.
For Putin and his war mongering cretins on Nairaland,I'm very sure the report above is under reported,I'm very sure there are thousands and millions of ammunition flowing into Ukraine to totally anliahate and obliterate the Russian army.
There are also a lot of disgruntled citizens of countries like Georgia and Belarus who despise what Putin did in their countries.
For Putin,Shame on him for starting a totally needless war,he has totally exposed the archaic warfare weapons of the Russian army.
Let him go back to what he does best, equipping rogue leaders all over the world.
Mumu Short man devil

Firstly, the only war Russia has lost is the Russia-Afgan war. Russia defeated Chechnya.

Putin wants to de-militarise and de-nazify Ukraine. He wants to destroy the Ukrainian military, seize more territories (Odesa, Mariupol & Donbass) and some critical infrastructure like Nuclear plant, all the major sea ports. Basically, Russia is not interested in seizing the entire country. To seize the entire country, they need to deploy more than 500000 troops. So Russia just want to destroy the country and seize more land. That is why the military campaign has been restricted to Western (Odesa, Kherson, Mariupol, Kharkiv and Donbas) and Southern (Kyiv e.t.c) part of Ukraine.

The flooding of Ukraine with weapons too will cause serious instability in the future for Ukraine.

Frankiss44:
And why can't Russia stop selling to get at back them? That will be a suicide mission... Russia can't even try to sell outside Europe without needing its European neighbors... Right now all Russian airlines are grounded, they can't fly anywhere outside Belarus.. Putin never know wetin dey come for am.. Can a country be an island in a continent and survive?

Whether Russia like it or not. She needs to look for market elsewhere. The EU is not a reliable partner. The whole tension will fade away with time.

Russian airlines can not be restricted to Russia and Belarus alone. Right now they can fly to central asia, africa, south america e.t.c. But Putin has restricted their operation to Russia alone for now.

Toktee:
And how is he going to deal with them?
Check the countries well...those countries can do without russia but russiã will suffer with out them.

They can't do without Russia. Why do you think they are yet to target Russian crude oil? They are dependent on Russia for energy.

osazsky:
he cant try it..i told my friend that he was ranting and backing...russia has wastful land but no population..if he dares it only france germany will put him down

I agree with you. The entire europe is experiencing decrease in population. But you don't need thousands of soldiers to fight World War III. You need less than a ten thousand.

You need your submarine crews, your missile force crews and your air bombers crews.

Workch:
oga, you are shouting Chinese assets.
Do you know how many sanctions united states hit China and united states go shamed.

You and educate yourself oga, united states is too small to sanction China

Placing heavy sanctions on China will cripple the world economic. China is a trade partners to almost all the countries in the world. It won't even work. Some countries will refuse to play along with the US. Germany for example depend on China fir trade, She depends on Russia fir energy and US for security.

Now, this is someone who knows what he is saying!

Russia has been very, very Civil in this War.
If he were to open fire on every Ukrainian Civilian that Zelensky gave a weapon, by now, the Streets of Ukraine will be littered with dead bodies but Russia is showing lots of Resttraint and rather just knocking out Infratsructures and Weapons Depot.

I totally agree with you. Less than 500 civilians have died so far. Compare to the US invasion of Iraq which resulted into the death of about 300000 civilians.

ubaobi:
Do you expect them to use chemical weapons or.nuclear bombs . Which other weapons are you talking about. This invasion was a clear miscalculation from Putin, he was badly advised that Kiev would fall within few days without a fight but as we all know the Russians have lost more than 1000 soldiers, a lot of their planes have been shot down, and they have lost a lot of armored vehicles. The Russians have valid reasons for wanting to secure Ukraine but they should know that you can't just wake up one day and invade a country with a Democratically elected government. Imagine Russia invading Nigeria and wanting to remove Buhari from power, do you think Nigerians will support that. would you be advising buhari to surrender. I would not support that. Russia will eventually win the battle but they cannot win the war. I expect the Russians to eventually capture Kiev but that would be the beginning. They should have learnt their lessons from how they were shamefully chased out of Afghanistan in 1987. The people of Ukraine are standing solidly behind their president, many are ready to die for their country and as we saw in Afghanistan, last year even the almighty US couldn't win the war even though it took them just three months to capture the country. Twenty years after capturing Afghanistan they ran away like chickens. it's very difficult to defeat an army backed by the people.

I totally disagree with you. Super powers don't fight this kind of war. The US especially won't engage in this kind of war. The US normally defeat the enemy before launching the invasion. She will first places arms embargo on the country to make sure that the country don't rearm. Then place economic sanctions on the country, to make sure that the enemy lacks the ability to fund the war.

The US and Russia have lost wars in the past. US lost in Vietnam because Russia was sending anti-tank and anti-aircraft to the enemy. Like the Russians lost in Afghanistan because the US flooded Afghanistan with weapons.

So it will be difficult for Russia. May be they just want to destroy the country beyond repair and leave. If they can seize Odesa, Mariupol and Kharkiv then it is game over for Ukraine. Russia is using SU-25 & SU-27 in Ukraine. These are very old aircrafts. And also their ground troops are using mainly the old T-72 tanks and that why some generals in the West are saying that Russia is yet to use most of it's dangerous weapon.

treatise:
Just wait and see. Russia's GDP is close to that of Spain and Russian economy is reeling from isolation. The west is ready to boycott the oil Putin has weaponized and bear the pains of inflation. Putin will soon be disillusioned.

Lets wait and see what happens. Iran survives those harsh sanctions.

In the history of the world. There has never been any country that has been destroyed by sanctions.

This one is not possible oga!!! Both sides are idiots but I will blame putin more for falling into this trap set by the west, I guess Putin is not a good history student,he should have remembered how the west trapped his uncles in Afghanistan for years sotey dey run back to russia after exhausting both men and material. The same is gonna play out, russia will fight till dey get exhausted, already the west is supplying weapons and what have you to sustain the fight,at the end the 2 countries will pay a huge price, zelensky for me is a tool in the hands of the west.

I think Zelenszky is not a good fan of history. All the countries that had their share of Western military intervention in the past are in a bad state now. I believe in the nearest future he will regret ever allow the West to flood it's country with weapons. Ukraine is currently being destroyed by Russia and in future Ukrainians will continue the destruction of their country by themselves. Ukraine is a future Libya.

Russia on the other side will struggle economically for 5 years or less. Gradually Russia will move its economy away from EU and the US to Asia, Africa and America. The world is big enough for manoeuvres.

News coming from everywhere.

This one is from instagram.

11,0000 men, when aljazera broadcast this figures, I will believe

Ukraine made that claim not the West.

Interesting. Mr OP, your source?

I saw it on bbc too.

From technology companies
To car companies
To clothing companies
To every damn thing. I'm not about to be a human google to you. If you want names, go online and check if out.

This is ridiculous. How can you say that US has more companies on the Chinese territory than the Chinese themselves?

Stevenson1:
Most companies. No lies.

List them

NGpatriot:
China is not ready to enter shalanga with dumb and foolish poutin..

China's global economy depends on their trade between the west, the trade volume between China and Russia is only $151 Billion, but it's over $1 Trillion with the West, without the Western Economy, China is toast.

Russia is insignificant in the grand scheme of things so China is actually enforcing the sanctions against Russia, go figure before your next post.

The trade between China and Russia will increase with time. China is abandoning it Coal plant for Gas plant. So China needs Russia for natural gas. China needs a reliable supplier of natural gas. As we speak pipeline from Russia to China is being constructed.

China is learning a lots from this Russia-Ukrainian conflict. It is clear to the Chinese that the West are not reliable partners. Infact it is clear to the whole world that the West is not reliable. Most countries needs to review their dependency on the West.

Stevenson1:
Lol. No matter what the news or anyone says... Fact still remains that china and Russia needs America.
Most of you don't know that most companies Operating in china are America companies.

Most companies?

The Russian military EXPOSED

I have said and would reiterate, Russia is just a military junkyard of old Soviet Union artifacts

Outside those nukes it got, it got NOTHING else


When he was building up for months along the boarders, I said “EMPTY BARRELS MAKE THE LOUDEST NOISE”

Now Putin is finding it difficult to run over a common Ukraine IT SHARES BOARDERS WITH.


A shame that will go down in history. Overhyped shiithole

Firstly, it is not everything you see online is valid. Even if it is true. Ukraine is getting help from all over the world. If the Russians seek for help, it is not bad. If i were Putin. I will seek help not only from Syrian who have experience in this kind of warfare, but also from Iran, Belarus and any other country/countries who care to help

Secondly, the war is complicated. Even the US don't fight this kind of war. The US normally place arms embargo and economic sanction on a country before engaging it in a war. The embargo will restrict the country from buy arms and the economic sanctions will make it hard for the country to fund the war. This will make the war easier for the US.

The West are making the war difficult for the Russians. They introduce sanctions on daily basis. Weapons are being poured into Ukraine none stop. Russia is fighting the whole world.

USSR did the same thing to US in vietnam and it lost the war. The US did the same thing to the USSR on Afghanistan and the Soviet lost. I pity the Ukrainians, no matter the outcome of the war, that country is ruined forever.

This time around, despite the difficult situation. The Russian troops are advancing. If they can take Odesa, Mariupol and Kharkiv. They Ukrainian troops in Donbas will be encircled and be crushed. Then they can now concentrate on Kyiv.

Senior UK military officers are genuinely worried that some British troops - regulars or reservists - might try to join the battle in Ukraine.

Last week the UK's chief of defence people, Lt Gen James Swift, sent out a message to the chain of command stressing that UK military personnel were "not authorised" to travel there.

If there was any suspicion that troops were trying to make their way to Ukraine, he said, it should be reported immediately to the service police.

The message warned that if serving British military personnel went to fight in Ukraine they would be putting not only their lives in danger but also risked giving "the mistaken perception" to Russia that Britain had sent in troops to engage in hostilities.

Chief of defence staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin has now underlined that message, telling the BBC it would be "unlawful and unhelpful".

At present the Ministry of Defence does not believe there are any examples of full-time British military personnel going absent to fight in Ukraine. But it is harder for them to keep tabs on reservists who often also have another career.

Hanks0000:
How could you know what patriotism is when you are a Nigerian...

The best way to protect Ukraine is by deploying NATO troops into Ukraine. If they have done that, Russia might not have attacked. But they were scared at a time.

Pouring weapon into a country and training civilians to defend themselves has yielded no good result in the history of the world. They destroyed middle east with these tactics.

It is clear that they have not learnt from their mistakes in middle east. Now they are doing the same thing in Europe. It is clear that they don't love Ukraine. With the way things are going. They will end up destroying the country instead of saving it.

UK, USA & Russian territories are safe. But Ukraine will be destroyed beyond repair.

Unfortunately for you Ukrainians are not hallakubar people.

All share one thing in common..religion.

Ukraine will definitely go the way of Libya. Where there are several arms group. If i were Putin, after the demilitarisation of Ukraine. I will create my own arms group in Ukraine, minimum of five strong groups. I will work with Iran to bring the Hebollah fighters into Ukraine. Also work the Chechnya leader to create a Chechnya militant group in Ukraine. I will be in control of three different pro-Russian group while Iran will be in charge of the Hezbollah fighters and the Chechnya will be in charge of the Chechnya militant group. Then the Russia military will be stationed in key places like sea port, airports and air fields, Nuclear plants and all other government infrastructures.

These five group will wage war against any Western sponsored group/groups in Ukraine. At the end of the day the Ukrainians will regret ever following Zelenszky and it's Western allies.

I pity poland that shares largest land border with Ukraine. By the Polish civilians started smuggling arms in Poland to cause havoc. They will realise that they have turn europe to middle east.
