When Ukraine refused ethnic Russians referendum for years where we're your likes ?

When Ukraine cut water supply to Kramer region making them lose 90% of farming land where were your likes

Self determination is a fundamental right ...join your NATO but don't drag ethnic Russians into it
So who's dragging ethnic Russians into it?

Who can complete this proverb?

When Hitler was invading neighboring countries, some idiots were applauding him, Putin no even reach Hitler at all. Yet where is he today?

There is nothing new under the sun. There will always be a good reason to go to war, but there is still reason to opt for peace.

I just want to warn Africans to brace up for more wars. A multipolar world is a battleground for power and influence. There will be more coup and counter coup. Brace up for it.

Putin can invade but he cannot rule, the cost would be huge to tame an unwilling populace. America invaded Iraq but could not govern Iraq. Guy forget Hitler, everyone will die someday

Putin has blundered so badly here it’s almost laughable.

His choices are simple:

He withdraws from the border and doesn’t invade, but that makes all his posturing look weak since he already is occupying Ukraine with his troops (Crimea, Donbass) and has issued a “red-line” statement against the West. Weakness is not a character trait Russians particularly respect.

He invades because he’s already tacitly committed himself to doing so and his country faces the wrath of pretty much the entire world. Sanctions would most certainly be extreme, and then possible loss of trade with the largest economies (U.S., E.U. U.K, Japan, Australia, etc.) How long do you think Russia can survive on its own? We wouldn’t even need to blockade Russian ports, we’d just embargo them into submission.
Yeah, Vlad got himself into a real geopolitical pickle here. He hasn’t left himself very many options that are good for himself or his shitty country.

Wailing. Story for the gods.

You claim I must be a kid but you admit I busted the lie about Russia being behind in hypersonic missile. Even USA defense intel admitted to being behind on that. Russia and China and recently north korea have been testing hypersonic missiles
You talk about following wars and weapons for 40 yrs but didn't know Russia has been ahead of the US in hypersonics. Bro, it's not how far but how well. Even ur deposition about the current german army being so much ahead of others shows how behind you are. And if you go further arguing about this I will prove to that to you too

Your last statement about what I purportedly said about a so called current German army shows you have problem understanding English at this time.
Kindly read my response again for clarity.
I've given you the reason for all the noise about this so called Russian hypersonic missiles(which should tell you I know much about it) and part of the reason is what we are observing today.
Do you think it'll stop a Russian defeat on the event of a war?
NATO has drawn the Red-line. Let them dare and you'll see how Russia will go down within weeks. They know better than to dare.

Russia had one awesome multirocket launcher during the second world War that surprisingly had no effect on the Germans.
Britain first introduced the first kind of thing like that to help the Russians and Europe around 1810 or so, while Napoleon was dealing with them.
If you know Russia, you'll know defeat is one thing they are accustomed to except that the world chose to define victory to come with a clear statement of surrender even at that Britain is reputed to be the only country that had invaded Russia and emerged victorious.

So, by childishly sending me Putin's rhetorics you feel like you are current. Hahahaha.

Anyway, in line with my statements on Germany, let me give you a little hint on how to rate countries capable of producing cutting edge military technology and weapons of war should they have reasons to.
Check out those countries that are currently producing a good deal of civilian high tech machines from automobiles to even phones. They are the ones that have the industries that when channeled into building their nation's military, will literally beat other countries in many spheres.
Leave out China cos they are mostly playing catch up like Russia. I'm talking about countries that usually start from research to production.
In layman terms, how many of the cars, phones, and other gadgets you use today are from Russia? Have you seen any laptop or classy modem high tech TV in this country that was made in Russia? You think the country that can't boast of these items in the international market will suddenly be making the best of military hardwares very much above those that do?
Even if they try to produce these items, you'll understand how inferior they'll turn out to be. They can't compete. How many Russian made cars have you seen in your street?

When you talk of countries with cutting edge technology to produce the best weapons you talk of Germany, Japan, Britain, and US. That's how they've stood even before the last world War. Russia had been trying but not like the best.

Nevertheless forget this your reasoning and pray Europe doesn't commit another suicide once again.
Most European countries especially Britain are bloody fighters in wars. We don't hope to see Europe in another terrible war. They fight to finish and it'll affect the rest of the world.

US will beat Russia to a Pulp in a non nuclear war without any country's involvement. They have everything it takes in multiples. The cost of the war is what no one wants.

Even Germany will wipe Russia's Ass in a war let alone US.

US will beat any country on the surface of the earth in an all out war.

Just don't give them reason to declare a war.
how did US became the world power?

Loool. Sending me a link to what Putin said and sounding serious on that.
You must be a kid.
I don't think you are conversant with wars and weapons. I've been on it for nearly 40years.
Yes, you are right about the hypersonic missile stuff and that's what has made them claim they are no more playing catch-up with the US for the first time ever. They rushed for it because the US defense systems are quickly making nonsense of their missile capabilities.

However, everything Russia has ends up being inferior to the West's.
They don't even have the capacity to build as much as an aircraft carrier let alone be at the forefront of military technology at its finest.

Putin never said he wanted to Rule Ukraine, so where is the "He cannot rule", coming from?
Ukraine deserves what it is getting from Russia, but l wont waste my time lecturing anyone who is ignorant of what is going on between these two nations and why Putin/Russia is RIGHT, form this military Operation in Ukraine.

I will tell you for free right now, that Presiden zelensky will run out of Ukrain within the next 36hrs and abandon his people to their fate.
Quote my words and revert back, when it comes to pass.

Never elect a Comedian as a President and if you must, tell him not to mess with real leaders like Vladmir Putin but he he wants to mess with such leader, he should make sure it is not about issues that are existential to his country.

If America dares send one American soldier into Ukraine at this moment or try some American swagga, Russia will Nuke them to ashes and it will be game-over for mankind.

No,what I knew about was after the war against Germany,by Russia, Britain,and USA,. USA were called the world power because of this....
"The United States had almost all the attributes of a great power—it stood ahead or nearly ahead of almost all other countries in terms of population, geographic size and location on two oceans, economic resources, and military potential. Foreign policy had to change to meet these new circumstances."
US never won a war to become the world power,and the Country that caused most destruction against Germany was Russia,cause the had their Military on land,US on air,and UK hovering around, Russian soldiers lived in Germany for sometime after the war and even caused the death of Hitler during the war.
And to top it up,the USA is made up of different people around the world,so the EU and Britain are in Control of the US.

Putin was really angry today, this time around, for someone who is always super-cool and unemotional, always in control of his surrounding, l saw anger on his face today. He will teach these Zelensky President and his Cabinet a lesson.

He has offered that the Ukrainian Army surrender so that there will be less casualty, as he has no problem with the Ukrainian people, just the !diotic leaders America pushed them to elect.
I hope that Rebecca Nuland woman will remain in Ukrain right now, to distribute "freedom Cookies" to them or she don bail, as usual with Americans? grin

Wars of 2021 is not the same with Wars of the 1930s.!

People sit in their bedroom, eating Chicken and Chips with Coke, while fighting a war and destroying whole towns.
Today, it is technology that fights war, drones, hypersonic Missiles, fast Jets and and delivery systems.

Moreover, Russia has more Nukes than anyone and with the way l saw Vladmir Putin's face today, even America knows he has been pushed to the wall and will damn any consequence.


BTW: Go and watch the body language of the NATO chief and Joe Biden, everytime, they repeat that phrase "American will not send Soldiers to Ukraine to fight".
They want Putin to be very clear about it, that this is not their war

I've just told you how US became recognized as a world power but you are bent on following your own thoughts just to state what you had in mind.
US was already an established super power as far back as 1898 when they fought and defeated Spain before that 2nd world War.
At the time of the 2nd world war, Germany was only second to the United States and they knew it.
At that time, Germany was also the most industrialized country in the whole world, 2nd only to US.
Even when Japan attacked the US, they didn't hope to win. They only wanted to gain an upper hand on the negotiation table before the US industries reached their peak and destroy her.
If you see what America budgeted for the 2nd world War it was mind blowing. it was much more than all what the whole of Europe had been fighting with before they entered the battle.

It's even much more easier for the US to attack Russia since they have allies close to Russian borders. The only issue is who wants to take such casualty that will be associated with a nuclear war.

Where is that Donkey that was screaming Ukraine is wining the war on the other thread ?.

It’s a Pity Zelenskyy allowed Sleepy Joe to deceive him. He didn’t learn from the 2008 Russia/Georgia war where George Bush a Republican who loved war couldn’t confront Russia after pushing Georgia to war with Russia. I have said this and will keep seeing it. The West won’t go to war with Russia over Ukraine. These Nuclear Powers honors MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction ). They know it would be disastrous to go to war with themselves. A Third World War is equivalent to a full scale nuclear war. Stop comparing what happened in 1939 that caused the Second World War when Hitler Invaded Poland to current happenings now, times have changed. Ukraine will just suffer the brunt and nothing will happen. We the student of history knew what happened during the 1962 missile crisis in Cuba. US shouldn’t allow what they won’t take. US won’t allow Russia to site a military base around any country close to them. Russia is a big name in the league too. Putin is only fighting for the future security of his Nation.

Hehehehe, Germany is in a military marriage where it could go to sleep with her vast and enormous potentials that can only be matched by the US and Japan. They are taking every advantage of that.
Japan is also sleeping somehow with equal potential.
If Germany is left to defend herself and has to rebuild it's military, Russia will be no match by any means. Germany is by far superior in tech and enormous resources. What the Germans will be producing will shock the world.

On Israel, they are producing heavy duty vehicles that are on our roads. I Also think the luxurious vehicle plant under construction in Akwa Ibom is by an Israeli company. Unfortunately Israel is lacking in resourcea like the Russians but they've got the Technology and that's what sets them apart.

On the British ship that was been threatened, if you understand war you'll know why Iran could only threaten and why the ship doesn't have to do anything.

A Ship is kinda soft target in such situations. It could be easily attacked and sunk by bombers. It's what will follow after that sinking that is dreaded.

If it was a US ship it couldn't have done anything least of all Russia. No ship in the world can do shit given that scenario so don't see that as a sign of weakness. That Iran could only threaten is where the weakness comes in.
Even Russia hasn't dared attack a British ship it felt is trespassing. They only warn and threaten and that's respect for power.

When turkey shot down a Russian jet what could they do even though Turkey is like a next door neighbour. Russia couldn't do shit militarily.

If it were say, Libya that is fighting Ukraine, all manners of Countries, including UK, Australia, Latvia can join, just to say "I am present". grin grin
But Allies or not, Partners or not, the Country at the centre of this is RUSSIA!
Nobody wants to mess with Russia, not at this moment.
Ukraine is not even a member of NATO, nor a member of E.U.

Which Country then, will want to risk its blood and country, just to fight on behalf of Ukraine?
Of what strategic importance is Ukraine, that America or any other country, will risk a Nuclear Reprisal from Russia
?

No, all they will do is impose Sanctions on Russia.
Russia knows this and l want to believe it has prepared itself a bit, to face those Sanctions.

On the British ship that was been threatened, if you understand war you'll know why Iran could only threaten and why the ship doesn't have to do anything.

A Ship is kinda soft target in such situations. It could be easily attacked and sunk by bombers. It's what will follow after that sinking that is dreaded.

If it was a US ship it couldn't have done anything least of all Russia. No ship in the world can do shit given that scenario so don't see that as a sign of weakness. That Iran could only threaten is where the weakness comes in.
Even Russia hasn't dared attack a British ship it felt is trespassing. They only warn and threaten and that's respect for power.

When turkey shot down a Russian jet what could they do even though Turkey is like a next door neighbour. Russia couldn't do shit militarily.

Britain is still a Nuclear Power, so it still has to be respected.
A British Merchant Ship being seized, is different from seizing a Warship, like a Frigate!
but having said that, Iran too, has an appreciable Naval presense.

Turkey shooting down a Russia jet was defined as a MISTAKE, by Turkey. Apologies were made and the matter was allowed to die. Not that Russia would have started a war over such minor issue, since the offender accepted it was a mistake.
Mind you, both of them are "Allies" in Syria, against US and Israel.
