I must say the west pushed and provoked russia to this war,everyone knew from time immerorial and Russia had also warned about it that she will not allow Ukraine to join NATO and have US or its allies place their military arsenal at her borders .
People can argue about sovereignty or things like that but for national security ,some countries will not allow certain things near their territory eg , Israel will never allow Iran or any other Arab state close to her reach full nuclear weapons capacity.

Exactly. Russia is protecting her interests. The West wanted Russia to be surrounded by NATO-allied countries that will weaken the Kremlin. Ukraine chose to be a pawn. Thing is any Western country that sticks her nose in this war would collect.

If it get worst there Will be no Internet at all and hardship will hit nations especially nations that are already facing hardship like ours. May God help us all and bring peace to the world

This is what happens to traitors that allows themselves to be used by the US to destabilize Russia. No Russian leader even if it is not Putin will allow Ukraine to join NATO. All that talk of any nation have the right to join any organization is applicable to ECOWAS or such organizations not NATO. They have been warned repeatedly to stop being US lapdogs and puppet now Putin as run out patience, and he has warned any country not to think of intervening a direct warning to the US and NATO.

Nuclear weapons?

But y NATO accept Ukraine?

Ukraine have not joined NATO, have they joined Russia wouldn’t have attacked them….and one of the conditions demanded by Putin for not attacking is a pledge from Ukraine not to join NATO in the future.

Guess what this do…many of those East European Countries will now flock to NATO further isolating Russia.

Not unless you are underage you won't understand how war can damage other nations. As you can see if you did check the news, Ukraine military base was targeted and so will they target their source of Internet. If this turns to world war(God forbid) the first thing to target is each powerful nation's power supply and without their power supply there will be no Internet. Then they will target their source of Internet which I am sure lots of countries are using. Ask the owner of this forum where he got his domain from and which country is hosting his domain. The food supply chain will be targeted economy around the globe will affected. Go and check price of gas now and price of crude compare it with previous prices. Know this and know peace. I pray the war should stop and God should bring peace into our minds. Forgive my typo

Putin is a fool.,

And this is why

Let's say this is about Russia fearing a NATO country being it's border. So the solution is to annex Ukraine and become bordered by 4 NATO nations?
What sense does that make?

I understand all these could happen,but I just look at how our worries have any impact on these. We can't stop anything from happening. So why burden ourselves too much when there are very urgent things that our actions can change immediately.
And these people will stop it before it gets to that alarming level.

When Biden read and declared those sanctions ,I knew there was no turning back for Russia that they would attack . Infact I can say the sanctions even accelerated their offensive , Russia wants the whole world to know that she isn't afraid of USA or any other country.

I am going to avoid debating this issue cos Russia is my number 3 home. I have many friends there even more than in the US.

This battle is funny. NATO wants to advance and also Russia wants to advance. The side which wins Ukraine will continue conquering more. Russia knows if NATO wins, it's the end.

From the western intelligent reports, it seems Putin wants to bring back the old Soviet Union. Winning Ukraine is a step forward.

Ukraine gave up her nuclear weapon plan because NATO promised her NATO membership. If Ukraine had not stopped its nuclear program, will Putin have the mind to enter it? This is why Iran will not stop. The US and NATO flex muscles on every new nation building nuclear weapons, while they can't stop old ones from acquiring more. Main while Russia empowers any nation interested in building nuclear weapons as long as the nation is loaded financially. They understand the level of weapon Russia has and they are also afraid. Putin is presently bragging about his nuclear weapon. It is why you see Biden taking his time and being extra careful. Who wants to be the one who caused the abandonment of Ukraine?

The only way out is to keep defending Ukraine and to manage the crisis. I won't say this is nice but Putin needs to go. He needs to go like Saddam Hussein and Gadaffi. This is the only way forward. It is not like I am on the side of anyone. I am just saying what is realistic. NATO is more powerful. Putin himself knows he cannot win but he hopes to destroy Ukraine with his nuclear power. How many nations leaders will die for NATO to be defeated? So, what is likely to happen is the death of Putin. His death will prevent more harm to this world. I told my Russian friends the same; though, many of them do not like it.

Russians themselves want Putin to invade and destroy Ukraine cos they see Kiev (Kyiv) as a big rival to Moscow which is sad. I keep telling them that as long as Ukraine is a sovereign nation, it is no more under Moscow. But I guess the history goes beyond what many of us know. If they start talking about it, hmmm. It gets so deep down to Stalin and Lenin. Imagine still referring to Lenin. This is why the body of Lenin will never be buried. What a powerful man? A man who died a century ago. Hmmm.

Putin is only after more power. That's all. According to the westerners, he wants to expand beyond Russia. They see him becoming Hitler. Is the same spirit in Hitler presently in him?

Unlike the US which uses money and wealth to gain power, Putin has seen it is not possible via such a channel. He has tried networking with China to overthrow the US, but not possible. He has seen that it is almost impossible to crash the economy of the US. He has even used hackers against the US and has failed. So, the only option available is through war.

Also, remember Putin is not getting younger. If he must do it, it's now when he is still strong. Soon old age will catch up. This is why he is going into this war. He is ready to die in my opinion. The war is an advancement for Russia to conquer more nations. And NATO is aware.

Can the west cripple Russia financially? It will be hard cos Putin has financial robots and machineries all around the world who are loyal to him. This is 30 years under groundwork of Putin you are seeing manifesting. Most people believe Putin is the real owner of Chelsea and not Abromovich. Lol. And I want to believe the British too think the same way, and it is why they are presently hostile to Abromovich who is also holding on to it. If I was him, I would sell Chelsea. For what na? With all the persecution from the British? But he is holding on to it like it's his life. Something is behind it. And many other cases like that. Do not be surprised Putin has machineries in Nigeria too who he can use to finance anything he wants. So, sanctions may not affect him. The way to cripple him is to be hostile to all Russians in NATO nations. It is unfortunate, but this is the way to get Putin. Will NATO have the gut to go against even its citizens who are Russians? Imagine the US persecuting Russian-Americans, will it be easy? The truth is that most of these Russians with dual citizenship are Putin's machines. How many Russian Americans have the US identified recently? Lol.

These are reasons Trump said Putin is a genius. And then, claiming to be a peacekeeper in Ukraine is funny and genius too. He shocked the whole world with that strategy. I was just laughing in my home when I read his reason for marching into Ukraine. Lol. Putin is an intelligent ex-security intelligence boss. To me, he is still smarter than most western leaders.

But I see his end near. No one fights nature and wins. He may cause havoc, but he will lose. He knows too that he will lose, but he is hoping to scare NATO and use the opening he has. It is a do-or-die affair for him. He is ready to die in my opinion.

The victims are the Ukrainians. NATO will fail them if they don't defend Ukraine cos she gave up her nuclear project due to the pressure NATO mounted on her. If NATO doesn't defend her, all other nations will pick up nuclear programs and this is the end of the world. No one will ever listen to NATO again. Therefore, NATO is going to do everything to destroy Putin.

At this stage, neither Russia nor NATO is backing out. Is this the beginning of the end of the world? Will Russia use nuclear against Ukraine? WHAT NEXT?
