Russian strategy is Africa.... but the Africans themselves don't know how important they are due to colonial brainwashing. There's an Africa Russia summit in November that aims to boost trade and cooperation between Russia and Africa and Russia is relying onthat to overcome sanctions...
grin grin grin As things don shele bro, that’s not feasible. US and NATO would not allow that summit to take place. You already know the consequences if such happens.

You said all those rubbish because of your hate for America and how they deal with terrorists around Islamic nations. Remember no one will escape God's judgement. No sympathy for the lives of the innocent lost so far. Terrorists like you and your likes don't last long.
Read this
Jeremiah 17:9-10
[9]“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things,
    and desperately wicked.
    Who really knows how bad it is?
[10]But I, the Lord, search all hearts
    and examine secret motives.
I give all people their due rewards,
    according to what their actions deserve.”

As NATO thought they are stronger together so Russia has friends too that can stand with them. Don't forget North Korea, China, Iraq and mid east countries would join in the war. NATO may defeat Russia but NATO especially neigbhouring countries like Germany, Spain, Italy, UK and the rest of Europe would feel the impact of Russia most before far away USA. Don't underestimate Russia. US that entered Afghanistan to fight even when the world condemn it did they listen. Let me just pause here. NATO is afraid despite been strong. They know that if anything goes wrong they would feel the touch of Russia so they don't want to venture into any war that does not directly involve them and that's the advantage Russia is using to attack Ukraine.

Ukraine is not a NATO ally, and the alliance is not treaty-bound to protect it. read more

Asked why NATO member states -- which in past decades have intervened militarily in non-NATO countries such as Afghanistan, Libya and former Yugoslavia -- are refusing to put soldiers on the ground in Ukraine, Le Drian said: "That is not what the Ukrainians are asking us".

This NATO is shady and is not yet clear what their interest is in this war we keep watching

To put it bluntly, Putin is operating on borrowed time.

The modernization of the Russian military has happened by taking huge loans via 2 semi-governmental institutions (Vnesheconombank, which acts as an independent development bank and Promsvyazban, which services around 70% of Russia's military defence contracts), thus not weighting on the limited state's budget. Now these 2 entities will be completely frozen out of Western capital markets.

The mix of Western sanctions includes financial sanctions (currently targeting over 80% of the Russian banking sector), export control actions (for example Western companies are barred from selling modern tech, semiconductors etc to Russia and its allies) and personal sanctions (Putin's close allies and their families, the Duma's members etc).

Today, first day of the crisis, the Russian market opened up at -30% and the central bank had to massively intervene to avoid a collapse of the ruble (which is underway anyway, reaching 89.60 rubles to 1$), with further interventions likely to be required.

To sum it up, Russia's economy will be heavily hit by the sanctions, its people (already suffering from a weak economy) will suffer even more, and with its main military revenue sources blocked, it is highly unlikely Russia will be able to maintain a military edge for long, with some even calling this the Kremlin's swan song (I do not believe this for a second, but it's true that they will be severely weakened).

Putin is acting on borrowed time. He knows it, the West knows it, and he knows that his enemies know it.

In the medium-long term this little war will have costed Russia x10, x100 times more than what they gained.

Sanctions might not make for big news, but they have the power to throw a country in terminal economic decline. Enjoy your famine, Russians.


Person wey know one road no know any road!!!! One door closes, another opens. And u think Russia is d only one to feel d sanctions metted on them? The European Union gonna feel it too. Also, d only issue without alternative is death!

Russians have always upheld dis ideology; "The End Justifies The Means"

IWOW!!! Interesting and challenging times are ahead sincerely speaking, and if you are a Student of Local and International Politics and Power play that is currently going on and with benefit of hinsight and with what is happening in the spirit realm, only God's Grace and Interventions, Exceptioal and unusual Leadership Styles for now will temporarily resolve this alarming Explosions about to erupt on the surface of the Earth, before
the ULTIMATE ONES that ARE COMING, on the face of the Earth! iWhat a wicked World!!! If you have relations and friends outside African Continent now, especially Europe and America,etc(although temporary Save for now ) we should be interceding for them(and our Prayers and thoughts are with Nigerians in Ulkrian and Russia, especially the Students there who have been trapped there now and which they should have been evacuated from the two countries with the speed of light were there to be where Strong and Timely Leadership ,but all hope is not lost(and they are even not that much as it were)just to rescue them this last Tuesday/Wednesday,but now victims and left to their fate right now, and we are Praying for God's Protection over them now because, with the threats and sanctions coming from all angles now, tougher days are ahead! And we are have Not yet recovered from Covid 19 conspiracy theory/palava; What a Wicked world and Ultimately only those on The Lord's Side will survive and live to tell the ULTIMATE events coming!!! What a trying and unusual time to be alive in this unusual generation!!! "There will be falling and rising of People, Leaders, Nations and Empires" as time goes on and as the events are unfolding now the two safest continents to be for now as the show of shame of Power playing continue unabated for now; are Africa and South America for now and probably will Ultimately benefits again in this second phase of the world unusual event! Fortunately to a lager extent, Africa survives the first stage(in Covid palava with least casualty from the 6/7Continents of the World)! As the second stage commences this weekend now, Please, let us put politics of APC/PDP apart for now(as the events are unfolding now, infact that first date of Election in 2023 announced before is not even certain again for now and anyway, Elections postponement is not new as regards that)! I just pray God will give African Leaders(AU) and Nigeria in particular not to be in a haze to make any pronouncement and comments for now that will come and hurt them later in the future, because presently is PURELY NON OF THEIR BUSINESS and probably as regards Nigeria, Mr Information Minister, Media advisers and Foreign Affairs, and the President(after all he just returned back to the country) should be giving some few days" break or rest" for now, or else they will pay severely later, while awaiting China,and North Korea are yet to make any official statement yet; a key ally of Russia,. All things being equal, and if there should be words or statements that they should be shouting now should be PEACE AND LOVE for Humanity irrespective of Tribe, Religion, and Nation and Continent! And we should also be praying for two of our major shining lights at the Continental and World stage now as the events unfolding;(Dr Mrs Okonjo Iweala and Dr Femi Adesina), they have a critical roles to play to protect African (most Especially Nigeria interest) in these unfolding events! Our National Second Anthem(O God of Creation... should be the major song now in our National Radio and Stations and individual song now), because what is ahead is behind Natural human Wisdom and Knowledge and Understanding! And please as an unsolicited advice but you will appreciate this post later, Nairaland members and to Whom it may concern; 1: Cut all necessary expenses, traveling and unwanted foriegns Goods now because Dollar and some foreign currency will likely crash in the coming days, as events onfold. 2 Eat less of foreign foods and foriegn items like clothes and buying of cars for now, they will be cheaper later in the future,at least by this time next year in Africa and Nigeria in Particular, etc. 3. Stock some food at home(like Gaari,and other local foods, as soon as possible if you can, because as from next week, when News will be occuping airspace,( except God be on our side and I pray He will again llike He did during Covid palava, another partial lockdown and Hunger loming around the world corner Again!!!) What a wicked World, Selfish and Satan induced Leaders, with personal interest everywhere; No Love for Humanity at large!! Our ALMIGHTY GOD; GOD OF ABRAHAM,ISAAC AND JACOB(NOW ISRAEL), JEHOVAH MAN OF WAR, THE ELSHADDAIR,JEVOHAH SHALOM, ROHI, ELOHIM, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE GREAT SHEPHERD HIMSELF, THE GREAT PROVIDER AND ABOVE ALL GOD OF ALL FLESH WILL PROTECT and PROVIDE For us and our loved ones in this trying times and be kept safe to LIVE story in Jesus Mighty Name and may our Dear Nation Nigeria come out Stronger and benefits greatly after all said and done!

This has always been the fear of the West, to have nuclear warheads in the hands of a despot.

Before NATO can reach a consensus to go to war, Putin would have devastated the world.

You did not see how quickly he gave order for his troops to attack right in the middle of a peace talk?

Putin is someone you have to deal with using tacts, not force.

The man can respond faster than Biden and NATO, because he has absolute power.

Moreover, he appears to have nothing to lose. But the United States and many of her NATO allies have years of hardwork and booming economy to lose in a nuclear war, which is certainly what is on the table.

Remember Japan in World War II?

No one wants to have to start from the scratch again. Certainly not the United States which has put in a lot of effort to become the number 1 global superpower.

Russia's economy is not that enviably great, so what is there to lose?
