NATO is a union, an alliance and not a country and moreover, Russia is not USSR but a homogeneous country.

Any Russian can be a US citizen if he/she wishes but not so for a Russian citizen.

Russia is an authoritarian leadership that can wage war against the wishes of its majority citizens.

Well said. But, sphere's of influence exists that are run by stronger countries. The US runs Latin America, France runs Francophone Africa, Belgium runs Angola et. al.; China is trying to run the South China Sea Area (Plus already running things in Africa).

Russia and NATO (a.k.a. US) are not friends, everybody knows this. So you do not expect to see NATO doing azonto dance in their back yard and expect Russia to sit back and do nothing.

The common ECOWAS currency that was proposed was "vetoed" by a country (France) that is not even a member. How is that for sphere of influence.

The USA should not have plan to move Ukraine to NATO because USA can’t allow Russia to have missiles in Cuba or Mexico.
Imagine if Russia start having military exercises with Mexico.


Ukraine isn't part of NATO yet.. However, Russia aggression in modern day world is provoking.. Colonisation has ended, I don't know what [b]crimea is doing with Russia.. US has the power to annex Cuba militarily but sovereignty was respected.. Russia should do same with caution because the fight go tire them.. [/b]

egbon at least be accurate when you're making a statement. If Ukraine wants to join NATO because of Russia provocation and meddling, isn't that a dream scenario for an organisation whose aim is to stop USSR reformation?
which one is US should not have plan as if it's the US that's telling Russia to harass her neighbours and be forming domino

There was no report of Russian bullying until EU, under the guise of "Economic help" offered Ukraine a deal to join it in 2013 which the then-president of Ukraine rejected (he has a right to do that).
Remember that at this time, the Greek economy, a member of the EU, was in turmoil and nobody been really send them because they weren't of any "strategic" importance.

If you look at the world map and see how close Ukraine is to Russia, you'll know why NATO and EU dey die to bring them into their fold. That way, as a member state, they can place any kind of weaponry facing Russia and then Russia is in soup if it goes against any of their interest.

Russia's annexing of Crimea (which they gave to Ukraine in the first place) was a "protection of sovereignty" move rather than a bullying move. By the time the Ukrainian "revolution" toppled the democratically-elected Ukrainian president largely using the Western press influence, the guy that was going to come next would've been a puppet to the West, agreeing to their every conditions.

I'm not saying Russia is good, no. They're just as dark as the people they fight if not darker. All I'm saying is international politics usually isn't how it seems or it's reported. US and EU want to surround Russia at EVERY cost with allies and military bases/long-range hardware.

USA took part of CUBA till now
USA set up military bases in Syria and Iraq illegally yet you get mouth to talk about Russia

Russia want to reunite USSR that’s why they don’t want Ukraine to be an allies to NATO, US is forming police of the world but they can’t put their own home in order, like Nigeria like USA In terms of insecurity

Russia should be calming down abeg.

Don't mind them. They think war will be only one sided casualties.

Let them try the invasion first na and let's see if Russia can defeat the entire Western world supporting Ukraie.

Moscow is like second home for me because I lived there before, love the place and still goes there often but it is silly, unfounded and barbaric attempting to invade a sovereign nation sorry it is unacceptable.

Winning a war is not by number of armies at all. China will abadon them if the war eventually break out because China biggest economy partner are US, EU and Australian and these ones are not supporting Russia so Russia will roast las las.

What the west is doing to Russia is very wrong and Russia need to stop it now before it gets worse for them,how can you surround a country as powerful as Russia with your army? Can Russia be allowed to have a base in Mexico? It’s just very wrong
I am just having sympathy for Ukraine because I think they should demand soldiers from the west not weapons(Send us soldiers or we join Russia)that is is what Ukraine should demand otherwise there will not be UKraine again in coming years

Well they have the right to protect their territory but they shouldn't date it to attack or intimidate Ukraine.

Even though USA too is an hypocrite but I think they are right on this matter.

Yes Russia cannot in anyway stop the Ukraine Democratic principle of chosing their future, paths and country alliances.

How is Ukraine joining NATO to Vladimir Putin and Russia?

They should not do pass themselve becos of their useless nuclear weapons or else the lesser countries close to Ukraine can form an alliance plus the western support to get rid of Russia.

Bro, have you been to any of Europe countries before?
Russia don’t even need to invade those countries. Russians are the largest ethnic group in Europe. More than 5M Russians lived in Baltic state and all Russia have to do is start small.
Even the Baltic region, the Baltic citizens are not buying their government propaganda against Russia again.
Polish people hate Germans more than they hate Russia.

Exactly what Russia is trying to prevent. Having America allied forces at ur front door. If US and Russia go to war 2moro... Ukraine will simply be a forward operating base for the US/NATO. EU is just useless undecided
Same thing China is trying to avoid with Taiwan. But since US cannot use NATO on China, they are pushing The Quad against China..
But ofcourse this is what western analyst will never admit.

But when Fulani planned to invade Nigeria you are insulting them but now in your right sense Russia should invade Ukrane and its fine by you? See how wicked and hypocrite you are?

I'm sure you must be a headslammer because they are the only one not happy seen a strong natio like US not allowing them too spread their demonic religion of Vampire forcefully around the world.

but when cuba agreed for russia to come bring their weapons there . Usa no gree and threatened to start a war. Why the double standards

Cuba are still under Russian "influence", so where is the war
Also, where on earth is there any credible Intel that weapons will be placed in Ukraine.
If Russia is provocating because of ballistic missiles in Ukraine from the "West" that's justifiable but this one there's nothing of that nature so how is that the same as Cuba.
