You’re a lost cause to western Media. Anyone that America And her allies don’t like automatically the whole country don’t like them . You’re choked with western Media.
After the fall of Sadam and Ghadaffi the world has been in chaos .

Use your head to analyze things yourself.
Syria was a lost cause to terrorist before Russia stepped in. Venezuela would’ve suffer the same fate if not for Russia.

Don’t come here to say thrash that , Syrians don’t want Assad . The west will sponsor protest and Feed you with Rubbish. Libya should be a case study for of you all the brainwashed mofos.

When Trump Won there was protests in America , same thing with BIDEN Will you now say the American People don’t want BIDEN?

These are the scenarios you see in countries after elections but the west will twist it to make you believe the whole country is one sided.
If Afghanistan can fall In less than 2 months after 20 years of rule . It simply points to one direction that majority of Afghans like their Islamic way of life .
Same thing applies to democracy majority carries the vote. but you’ll be fed with lies that
The Afghans are not diplomatic.
you write absolute trash and yet you talk about Western propaganda.

Syria that Assad father handed the reign to him and you talk about election which election.

Replying to you is just a waste of my time. Go read dude. Syria was a lost cause yet ISIS carved out a region for themselves, after their fall thanks to the bad guys Rambo, ISIS-K sprung up in Iraq and today they are no more thanks still to the bad guys Rambo.

Go educate yourself first before coming at me and be talking about propaganda. It's not only the west that have media, use Russian media to disprove what I just wrote. ode

Those european countries are doing follow follow america.
Many of them if they treated the issue well from the beginning according to their opinions and interest, things would not have been in this way.

European countries need russia.
The whole gas use in germany supply by russia.
What of austria, italy etc.

Russia is big market for european countries products.

I went to the US for my graduate program and I’m back. Nothing spectacular. If I want a visa tomorrow to any of those country I can get it, but I already promise myself I’m not going to apply for visa to any country. If your country does not have a visa free policy I’m not coming.

China's economy is tightly coupled with foreign economies and is based on MARKET ACCESS. Their biggest trading partner is the USA and the West in general.

China will remain neutral - period.

Ukraine is a sovereign state and can decide to join whatever organization they decide, but Russia a totally different sovereign state does not and should not have the power to grant independence to a part of another country.

How do you compare a country joining an organization for their security purposes with another country overstepping its boundaries by granting independence to a portion of another country?


Like Nigeria granting independence to a portion of Togo or Benin republic, do you see any sense in that?
Russia never grant independence to a part of Ukraine, it only gave an official recognition, to a people who want to be independent. Ukraine which is part of the USSR should have been allied with the Russian not NATO. The same way they have right to join NATO is the same right Russia has the right to recognize the independent state... America won't allow Russia put Missile in Cuba because it threatens their security and keep them in perpetual alert security wise , now they find it comfortable for Ukraine to allow them have a base at a striking point to Mother Russia. Whatever they do, what is important to me is peace, let everyone keep negotiating and talking without firing a bullet.

Did you not read where I said ain't disputing their power and capability.. but Put*n won't dare make a mistake if waging war against NATO... cheesy
If he does then sorry is his case..
Russia have nothing much to lose. It's economy is dwindling already and it has a big landmass with so many underground bunkers. The people that will even survive in NATO and Russia will become refugees. Leaving China to become the only superpower. It's only US, UK and France that have nuclear weapons in NATO. There will be no winners in a nuclear war.

Russia will be turned into ashes as well, the UK has enough Nuclear weapons to turn Russia into planet Mars. And you think Nigeria will be spared from a Nuclear war ? grin

Africa will suffer nuclear rain, destruction of the atmosphere, exponential increase in cancers, total fail of agriculture etc.

Putin is not stupid - he knows that attacking NATO means the end of at least 2/3rds of humanity including 100% of Russia.
Africa will survive but I can't say that for you in the UK grin grin grin

This might have an effect on Russia to be sincere..
To my knowledge there isn't really any precedent since 1945 for a great power annexing another country to both gain land and intimidate another superpower...
Right now there's a spectrum for what what could happen..

On the one end Russia could invade and something could go horrifically wrong and we end up in a Europe wide NATO - Russia war. That would be disastrous to say the least.

In the middle of the spectrum is full sanctions and Russia becomes and economic pariah state. This however looks unlikely as only Britain and the US seem to see eye to eye in arguing for this outcome..
France and Germany seem a little bit less enthusiastic about this approach..
Let's see how it goes..
Upon all the sanctions in Iran, they were still able to send communication to space. The Russians are the biggest game changers in Europe with the Nordstream 2 Gas pipeline which supplies the needs of all this Nordic Countries including Germany. Their alliances with China and North Korea is for all these economic benefits and these are also military powers too.

Sanctions will do nothing to Russia than to hurt Europe economically

Germany is not stupid to use sanctions to block it own financial hegemony as Europe financial capital is slowly moving from London to Frankfurt.

France is ever ready and happy to see the Euro overtake the Dollar as global reserve.

They are just watching the Anglo American empire play themselves into the abyss

I don't think any country has the right to balkanize another independent country.

Moreover, Ukraine is not the only former USSR member that's joining or aligning with NATO. The reason for NATO in the first place is because they're scared of Russia and it's bullying tactics.

Without NATO Russia would have forcefully taken over all former USSR members and smaller states around. NATO is a big deterrent and they know.

I guess you are ignorant of Russia’s nuclear arsenals. Putin already stated that in a war with NATO, Russia will deploy it's nuclear weapons promptly. Browse about Russia’s new hypersonic weapons Zircon and Kinzal. Not to mention Sarmat and Icekinder missiles. 1 sarmat each will take care of France and the UK.
A lot of people commenting here are ignorant of Russia military capabilities.
NATO can not go to war because Ukraine that is not a member of NATO.

No need arguing this mate. More sanctions are waiting; weightier ones for that matter. Sanctions don't finish. And there is no new world order. If ever there was something like that it will be China. Russia is a poor country. Till date Russia cannot even match Portugal's GDP per capita and they have been trying for ages. Apart from Moscow and St. Petersburg most other Russian cities are messed up.

New world order? Lol... China would be laughing at your statement. Even China no want war. Many people for the sake of hatred or pure boredom want a change of the guard, but no, the US is centuries ahead of every other country when it comes to military abilities and intelligence. For me: US, UK, Israel, then others

Even China cannot afford a full blown confrontation with India. India is in space, medicine, nuclear warfare, everything and they don't make noise. Let Putin go and sit down. This one he will lose it a million times over. The West actually want him to make a move so they will cordon him off and he knows hence the merry go round.
The highlighted statement is a joke, right? You're comparing India, a country still suffering from extreme poverty and a lack of adequate toilets, with CHINA?? As in China, the world's TECHNOLOGY POWER and the NEWEST MILITARY SUPER POWER?? Same China that trashed India during their border war in the 60s? THAT CHINA?? Uncle, keep dreaming.

You lots don't even understand the dynamics of the EU market where Russia supplies the whole of Europe over 40% of basic energy needs that they can't possibly get elsewhere. Tell me how the US wants to supply gas to the whole of Europe and at what cost? Are they going to construct new delivery channels? You guys just sit on Nairaland and type away without even knowing the dynamics of the things you say.
I blame too many Hollywood movies and Tom Clancy fantasies. Western Europe's already suffering from high gas prices. Let's see what happens when Russia turns off the gas valves and watch Western European homes and industry freeze when the next winter come. Meanwhile Russia will be supplying China gas via the Siberian pipeline as Chinese industries switch from dirty coal to cleaner gas.

They will soon come and tell you how US and Japan will supply EU gas as if it is that easy and cheap. Imagine buying something for 2 naira per litre and claiming it's expensive only for you to quarrel with your supplier and now start looking for a new seller to buy from at around 4 naira just because you are quarreling with previous supplier. How long will it take for you before you start feeling the extra expenses from your pocket? Besides, most suppliers out of Europe like the US are already operating exports at full capacity and as such, it would not be very easy to shake off the effects of losing the supply of Russian gas. Prices would eventually skyrocket and of course, people would start protesting when it gets out of hands. They have forgotten the whole of Europe is just coming out of the economic downturn experienced due to Covid... As it is, the whole of Europe and Russia need each other more than anything. No one would benefit from this crisis. I was reading comments of certain novices claiming that EU and US had placed sanctions on Russia and I laughed. They actually didn't even realize the sanctions are not against Russia's economy directly but were issued against investments in the 2 regions that had just declared their sovereignty from Ukraine. These sanctions have nothing to do with Russia's current businesses with EU and the US.

Instead you you want to spin into something else because that they only thing you can do.

Syria, Afghanistan, Libya... Was Syria the only Arab country that was affected in the Arab Spring? Egypt were the coup started, haven't they recovered?

You want to talk about war, France, Belgium, Poland, Czechslovakia and other European countries, weren't they nice and bubbly before the war, haven't they all recovered?

Japan was bombed, haven't they recovered?
South Korea, Philippine and the list go on and on and on.

Coming back home sef, The Eastern region in Nigeria wasn't it destroyed compared to what it was before the war. How are they looking now?

Common sense is always far from you guys. So when some greedy people that should be thinking about the whole want to curtail power to themselves thus decaying their homeland further. It has to be someone else fault abi

so why are you taking panadol on the EU head? So they don't know who supplies them gas or the ripple effect is that stops?

That will be fun to watch. The western supporters equally forgot something: the west actually needs Russia and China's support in the containment of Iran and China's nuclear ambitions. As the Americans are trying to rescuscitate the JCPOA initially killed by Pres. Trump, they need Russia's support for any future agreement to work. If the Russians decide to play spoiler and throw full support to the Iranians, that's it. Coupled with Iran's ballistic missile tech as proven during the missile strike in Iraq years ago and even with the Houthies missile strikes against Saudi Arabia, Iran will be untouchable as a nuclear power. No wonder the Americans are being cautious with their sanctions, as the sanctions are focussed on Luhansk and Donbas.
