Allies are not doing enough to help Ukraine. It is well with people of Ukraine. TheWolfen:I understand but the neighbouring countries of Ukraine that also share border with Russia need to help. The table might turn. Who knows? What if Russia invade them too. ayindejimmy:Well, I can't speak for them at the moment but no ill news about them yet. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

For the US and NATO, there's little appetite to engage Russia directly. Ukraine is not part of NATO. My economic classes thought me that, in regional blocs and treaty; members of the blocs are highly prohibited from directly involving themselves in economic ties with non-members. And I believe same applies in a military treaty scenario. US, NATO and the Ukrainian allies are currently dealing with the situation smartly; running their cost-benefit analysis religiously. Sanction packages on the Russian economy and technology are enough to persuade putin (maybe not in the short run), and if it doesn't, then, watch out for their defeat thereafter. Massive sanctions on Russian businesses, banks, HNIs; blockage of access to the world's capital market, payments systems; and cutting edge techs needed to mordernize their military, space program, and economy are morally enough. Also, sanctions on their ability to transact in USD, Sterlings, Euro and Yen makes the entire sanctions more complicated and devastating for Russia. To help Ukraine directly in a war footing scenario is to put people and economy at risk. As per economy, the U.S of A is around 14 times bigger than Russia. Russia would only struggle to trail smaller countries like the UK. Hence, a direct war footing approach should be the last resort for the U.S I mean, is there a country that wants to underestimate the impact of economic sanctions, especially when the sanctions are coming from regional blocs and the real "owners" of the world's economy. Germany had their own piece of the cake in the 1920's when they were indicted of promulgating the WWI, they paid reparations that ran into trillions ( in today's German marks). They got hit by an unprecedented hyperinflation; where their currency was so useless that a german needs currencies filled in a truck to purchase a loaf of bread. Germans couldn't afford to paint their house, they started using money as wallpapers. Their children couldn't afford a toy, they used their money to construct kites. There were cases where people offloaded money from a wheelbarrow, and stole the wheelbarrow alone. Intriguingly, In 1914, the exchange rate of the German mark to the American dollar was about 4.2 to one. Nine years later, it was 4.2 trillion to one. Germany didn't foresee this eventuality. I end in the words of Umberto eco "Not long ago, if you wanted to seize political power in a country you had merely to control the army and the police. Today it is only in the most backward countries that fascist generals, in carrying out a coup d'état, still use tanks" the whole scene changes when it becomes an economic warfare. 36 Likes 5 Shares |

Despite its massive land mass,Putin is still annexing neighboring territories,claiming its his own people original land. Instead mk him pack ethnic russians in Ukraine to isolated island of Siberia,Mk him settle them there. He dey follow small Ukraine drag small portion of lughansk oblast which Siberia is twenty times bigger than. This Is just aggression of the highest order,unprovoked one at that. Make those hefty Ukrainian men join d battle and liberate their country from Putin aggrresion,cos it seems the west will only intervene when russia starts using nuclear war heads or chemical weapons,cos Russia is a master at that. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Those who are giving support to Putin for wanton destruction he is unleashing on Urkraine have no human face.Putin has issued 700,000 Russian passports to some people in rebel-held areas in Urkraine so that he could justify his defence of citizens and peacekeeping claim which has turned to war.Putin's invasion of Urkraine is just a show of might and to find occasion to square up with USA and probably UK.Putin is full of pride. 17 Likes 1 Share |
