It so painful that people are not informed.. The Russia economy is in crumbles.. Funny people are hailing Putin... Will Russia with is failing economic win a war against NATO.. . the same Soviet union that the Germans overrun.if not for the united States coming into the war.. Use your phone and Google the Russia economy its GPD has been failing since 2008 when the first sanctions roll in.. Russia wants to go to war with Europe the same Europe that is it's Major trading partner.. The same Europe that buys 70 percent of it's gas.. It so funny that the people of Russia can't stand up against a terrant ..now the gas pipe line nord stream they invested Billion of dollars has just been suspended by German.. Putting the Russia economy in free fall, just because you want to satisfy your ego..
If Putin is a bad ass why don't he attack small country likes Latvia Poland are they not part of the formal Soviet union.. He can't because he knows they are part of NATO.. And attack on any NATO triggers article 20 which says an attack on one is seen as an attack on all.. If Ukraine was in NATO Putin doesn't have the bals...

1. Let's assume your stance about Russian economical armaggedon is true (it's not but okay), you should sacrifice economy for survival, not the other way around. You have to survive first, before thriving/economical building.

2. Saying Russsia should attack Poland and Latvia is like saying Russia should attack Gambia or Ghana because its in Ecowas. It doesn't make sense. But if Gambia magically appear in close proximity with Russia, then yes, they will face similar fate as Ukraine. Same as Cuba was sanctioned to death when soviet missles appeared on their territory.

3. If Russia economy is in crumbles, the US economy has already crumbled. Don't take my words for it, just go look at the numbers. And you'll know this if you can think for yourself instead of regurgitating western perspective like a vomiting drunkard. Listen, Russia is one of the few countries on earth than can survive without trading with any country. That country is blessed. Open Google map and take a look at Russia, if you have eyes, you'll see that it's a naturally powerful country that won a geographical jackpot.

4. Try to fly from Europe to Asia for example, you'll spend most of your flying hours accross Russia because its an intercontinental country that you must pass through to connect Europe and Asia. Imagine having to go to Mali first before transiting to Abuja, the extra days on air, time wasted, fuel cost, and stress, that's the fate that awaits Europe if Russia implements a no fly zone accross their territory as a retaliatory sanctions.

5. German did not overrun Soviet union, do you live under a rock for fork sake? Kaliningrad was a German enclave sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania, but it belongs to the Russian now, a gift from the spoil of war. Stalin occupied Berlin, ending the world war. Twenty million Russia men died, and they came out Victorious after the war. You just repeat so much nonsense that makes me wonder about your ability to think.

Other of your points are not worth countering, unless you purge yourself from western media brainwashing. I was like you in the past, but the ability to see things for what they are even when it's covered in propaganda, to think for yourself and reach a conclusion founded on reasoning I a crucial life skill, adopt it.

I used to love Putin. The strong no-nonsense untouchable badass ex-KGB agent, man made of steel. A balance to world power etc etc

I thought and believed Russia to be non-expantionist. Loved that country for their resolute willpower throughout history. From the fire of Moscow to Stalin's snipers in Stalingrad, I have loved this country of theirs.

But in this past few weeks I have made time for reflection on the man Putin.

The respectable demeanor and aura he carried has been reduced to dust, revealing another power hungry, devilish Hitler.

I am horribly disturbed by his flagrant disregard for rules of engagement. One a KGB agent should know better about.

Declare recognition for parts of a sovereign State. And then decree troops be deployed into a sovereign state?

This is unacceptable by any standard.

What a low-life cunning way to invade a sovereign State. Some hype it as a game of chess. I call it con.

Watching a man I so much revered talking nonsense history and making an utter fool of himself on TV. Couldn't believe it's same Vladimir Putin I could argue to the moon & back for.

Except China who's waiting to play same script on Taiwan, anybody supporting this insanity just because they hate America should have his/her head checked.

He is saying all the Anti-Putin activists can gather in one place, declare themselves a sovereign State and have other nations recognize them.

He referenced how a country can not pursue it's security to the detriment of another country, what exactly has he just done?

Well, by this provocative action of his, if Ukraine doesn't immediately formally apply to join NATO, then something is wrong.

Bro you have spoken my mind 100

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
expect more meaningless sanction. ukraine is gone. Putin putting the west were they truly belong.

Where are the "Let Putin invade Ukraine and feel the wrath of the US and NATO" guys?
The "the US wants the war more".
The "Putin dare nots".

This guy is is tested rogue. He knows the reactions he'll get from the US and EU; sanctions.
He'll take over the whole Ukraine, all they'll do is sanctions.
Tueh!
Now we know the US and NATO are teethless.
They only bite small countries like Libya, Iraq , Afghanistan, Syria et al.

Putin has also been building Russia's foreign reserve. It is now about $600billion. That's enough to weather any sanctions the west may bring up. He knew this day would come

Lol, I didn't know there were versions of WW2
One thing is certain that can't be challenge..
Europe was in retreat and the Germans has taken over two thirds of Europe lands.. And the united States came into the war and together with the Allies liberated Europe... Please use your Google and search for the word D DAY..and save yourself from ignorance.

Bbbwings:

I wonder where your pent up energy was when these supposed good guys invaded Libya.

The united States wasn't interested in Libya per say..
They wear interested in Gaddafi.. The strong man who ruled Libya and was supporting terrorism.. Avail your self with Google and search for Gaddafi and its role in the growth of terrorism in the middle east.. Soon as Gaddafi died the coalition left Libya.. Note the united States didn't sent solders into Libya just military advisers and trained the Libya people to do the need full.. They only enforced a no flight zone and conducted airstrikes..

They just pick sides like its football talk and start analysing with the frail logic of sports betting. That's all they got. That's what they can offer. Then you got these types also, who have a hint of global politics, with shallow insight as its relates historical timeline. They so much assert themselves with arrogance and talk about the evil West, an overwhelming better China, a Powerful preferable Russia, bla bla.. But they'll kill to have a US visa.
So much nonsense on one platform.

Has the US not used sanction to finish Cuba all because Cuba aligned with Russia? Did the US not use CIA to cause havoc all over the world?

By the way




it is good to have wise leaders.....,... Believe me, Russia never wanted to invade Ukraine..... If they wanted to do that, they would have done that long time ago.......... But Ukrainian alliance with American is forcing Russia to push back....... You see, when when you have biden family and other senior American and western citizen meddling in Ukrainian politics, economy and military since 2014 coup against Russia, it is only wise for Russia to take charge as Ukraine is their nextdoor neighbor..........




The only end to this crises is for Ukraine to cut their alligence with America and stay neutral as an independent country... Forget about joining NATO or Russia and stay on your own........ Russia need a buffer zone against the west and Ukraine should provide That by staying neutral.

No western power or NATO can fight Russia if they chose to invade Ukraine because of what is at stake "world nuclear war 3"....... This time around America and their western allies including [b]Russia themselves will be turned to desert overnigh[/b]t.

You get it. Not just their external reserve, Russia is one of the least foreign Indebted country. Also Russia is investing massively in the far Eastern region, and building the Arctic shipping route, thanks to global climate change. If the route is completed, I can only imagine the billions that would pour into Russian economy just for doing nothing other than collecting transit fees. It would reduce shipping routes between Europe and Asia, without having to pass through the suez canal.

Luhansk and Doneskt has declared independence since 2014, but I guess Putin didn't recognised them yet, he learnt a lesson with Georgian South ossetian, when the west rained sanctions upon sanctions on the economy. He has been working hard to sanction-proof Russia, and the time has come, which was yesterday when he declared the recognition of their independence. Patience is a virtue afterall.

Rugaria:


The West are trying to wreck The Russian economy with sanctions and are systematically luring Putin into taking aggressive posturings on the Ukraine/NATO issue.. Obviously, Russia needs to act, but with Ukraine insistence on joining NATO, Russias actions can be used to leverage the narrative that Putin is a power hungry dictator, desperate to control all of Eastern Europe.?

Military actions taken by Russia over this, just like in the case of the invasion of cremea, provides the West with the excuse they need to increase sanctions, as they try to shut off Russias expanding energy/gas entanglement with Western Europe. Not a coincidence that this is happening after Angela Mikel..
