But heard this guys eventually surrendered though, d Russians even made a video handing them food & watwe

well, who cares?

Why should Russia force a sovereign nation to do it's bidding. Every country has its objectives and do what will favor them.

Putin will lose this war even if he succeeded in capturing Ukraine, because other neighboring countries like Finland, Sweden, Bulgaria etc are now thinking of joining NATO to gain protection against Russia aggression which they know Putin will not stop until he conquered them all.

You can't bring back a union by forcing countries in that manner.

30 countries formed NATO today and all countries joined in willingly through America's persuasion. That's how it should be.

Now people of Ukraine will never accept Russia, it will go down to history and who ever Russia assigned as Ukraine leader will suffer agitation for life.

Putin miscalculated big time.

the thing weak me, assuming he succeeds and install his puppet regime, how will he bring the Ukrainian people to his side after killing their kinsmen and women.

Ohhh. You say freedom of choice, that's "Free Will". So, they have the free will let the West to pose threat/danger to their country?. Putin simply told them Ukraine if they still pursue their interest in joining NATO, it will cause national threats to their country, and if that happens, they will be consequences. Ukraine thinks they can do whatever, including screwing your neighbours because you have the right to. That is where power comes in play. Russia is showing them the stuff they are made of, and they feeling the heat rn. If Ukraine joins the NATO, someday Russia might be brought to her knees by the West. Putin knows what he's doing, he's not a mindless monster or beast that goes around massacring innocent people. In press conference, he said Ukrainians shouldn't allow the West to make them lose their lives thinking they are doing what is right.

Putin is a mindless monster alright. No doubt about that.

If the west was as mindless as he was, we all will probably be bathing in radiation from atomic bombs right now.

Aggression is never a show of power. Putin might have what it takes to battle any nation but so do the west and the result of such wars would be so catastrophic that there would be no winners.

With that out of the way, why will you say a sovereign nation has no right to associate with whoever they want to?

Russia can sanction them but has no right to tell them what they can or cannot do.

That's the one thing the west has learned a long time ago. If they feel an enemy is crawling closer, they simply offer you a better deal or place sanctions on you.

Putin right now is killing innocent people. What is more sanctimonious than a human life who he'd probably killed hundreds of?

And if he was such a master strategist as some of you would rather believe in your delusion, how was the west able to crawl to his back door and he couldn't even get any country in the west to partner with him?

Of course, he's mindless monster and a psychopath.

Putin and his cotravellers will regret this war someday.

Ukraine is a sovereign nation and can chose what union to join with or without Russia...Putin is only afraid of NATO being stationed in Ukraine close to their nation that's why he's pulling all his arsenal to annihilate Ukraine from making that move.

I am beginning to love these Ukrainian - they are behaving like people from Muslim counties. This is how real men should die. Unapologetically, With a curse on their lips.

True bro.

Russia is literally raping Ukraine right now

prettyboi1:


You're wise bro & I applaud your objectivity & call for peace. I wish the world was as simple though, however it isn't that simple. Ukraine truly does not have to join NATO & also Russia doesn't want to colonize Ukraine. The problem however is that both US(NATO) & Russia are sworn-enemies & the US (through NATO) wants to encircle Russia in order to be able to crush Russia eventually (even if it takes 1000 years) & that's why they want Ukraine to join NATO so that they (US/NATO) would be by Russia's borders. Already, they (US/NATO have about 3 countries by Russia's border but those countries are very small. Ukraine on the other hand is a very big country & borders Russia along several kilometers.

Russia too, being a country with powerful military might had an agreement/understanding with NATO years back for NATO to not expand towards them (Russia). NATO broke that agreement severally & is still trying to break it by bringing Ukraine on board. No reasonable/proactive president would sit idle & watch his/her country's enemies build up military might by his/her border & not stop them when he/she had the might & capabilities. That's the issue. NATO has broken several agreements/understanding with Russia & so Russia is not willing to trust them. Also put in mind that NATO was initially created for the primary purpose of countering the now defunct soviet - union which Russia led. The soviet union has long collapsed but NATO is still very much active & worse is that it is trampling on Russia 's backyard. I don't know about you, but if it was me, I would act the same way Russia is acting now.

Lastly, the cold War between Russia & USA happened for reasons similar to this back in the day. Russia wanted to station missile systems in Cuba but the USA refused that it was too close to them(US). Note that Cuba does not share any land borders with USA, yet US/NATO want to station by Russia's borders &yet they are pretending like Russia is over-reacting.

Attached is an image of a map of Russia(in red) showing NATO countries around Russia(in blue). Be objective, please, would you feel comfortable with your enemies leaving their various countries far away to come this close to you?

For those of you still confused about what is going on this guy has summarized everything for you. Great and unbiased analysis. Nobody is saying what Russia is doing is right or fair. But what is fair in life ?? The people pushing Ukraine won't allow this so why should Russia should?

Russia hit Georgia for the same reason it is hitting Ukraine now "NATO has no business in our neighborhood. Traitors would be treated like traitors".

Lies!!! Georgia was not planning to join NATO then.

And Russia invaded to support and liberate two separatist regions. An Aim they successfully (and easily) achieved after Georgia's president declared a one-sided ceasefire.

Crimea is inhabited by Russians. Before Crimea was annexed, why did the west orchestrate a coup to topple the Ukrainian president in 2014? The west can't possibly think they're the only ones who have power. Why aren't you talking about that but talking about Russia's reaction of the annexation of Crimea?

Was it a coup? Or what is your definition of coup?

The president fled the country following months of protests (which started in 2013 and have grown to become deadly).

He fled before the parliament could vote on his impeachment.

The parliament went ahead to vote in favour of impeachment, with no single person (even his party members) voting for him to remain in office.

How is that a coup?

And even if we agree to call it a "coup" rather than an "impeachment", what evidence do you have to prove that it was sponsored by the west?

You're here talking about Russia's 'aggressive nature', please tell me how many countries in the world Russia has invaded when it wasn't a reaction & I will tell you at least 30 countries that the US & the west have invaded for absolutely no reason but lies & greed.

Almost all Russia's neighbours have lost territories to them in the past. And this includes China (Reason why I doubt China will ever go to this war with them, even if NATO interferes).

And in many cases, it wasn't a "reaction" but a "preemptive" action. A good example of this is Finland's case. Russia wanted some of Finland's lands and cities because of its strategic millitary position, and offered Finland lands in other areas. Finland turned down the offer, and they(Russia) decided to take the lands by force.

Russia has disputed territories with Japan & China, please tell me about them. Thanks.

Use Google. Information is freely available. Basically, Russia shares border with China, Japan and North Korea.

And some of the territories around the border are disputed.

No point in surrendering to the enemy, I understand.
The way the west is using media to wage another war though. Where was this enthusiasm when afghan, Syria, Libya etc was invaded.

U are absolutely right! No mind them and their apologist in Nigeria. U never hear them talking about this with the war in Congo. When govt go after Nnamdi Kanu after he met d conditions for him to be bail but still they tried to kill him or when they went to Igboho house that never attacked anyone and still they killed 2 people in his house. U won't see Nigerians protesting for that but if na whites then go come dey post yeye things for status. Una think cos of una post then go give una visa, sorry una dey deceive unasef ooo. I condemn any aggression towards anyone wherever and whenever!!!!!

My problem is with the 24/7 media coverage and the oh poor Ukrainian narrative from the
lying Western media. Look at the way the Ukrainian refuges were humanized but when it comes to African war refuges they are dehumanized and the coverage is worse than that of wild animals. Why is no one standing with all the Africans dying in Mali, Burkina Faso, NE Nigeria, Congo, Mozambique and so on, why do Africans care about this oyinbo conflict when their continent is a hotbed of conflict and no one cares.

The west agenda or mission was different from Putin's goal. The west were controlling or trying to put a stop to terrorism and that was understood by most Nations.

Why should one sovereign nation tell another what to do and not what to do?

Zenlensky can decide who to join or not, the oligarchy in Russia is what everyone fears, the dictator in Russia can one day tell him to kneel down but if he allies with US, their presidency changes, unlike in Russia where one man has chosen to rule till eternity, and you would live with your nemesis forever until if eventually death comes. I'd rather align with the west than Russia if I were him. His only mistake was not having and growing some military arsenals before the grandstanding. If he has some nukes, like maybe Israel, and thinks like NK President, even Russia would calm down small.

The reason is very simple ..
The US is compelling them to do it or face sanctions..

US is compelling Ukraine to join NATO, or face sanctions? WTF did you get this from?

Did you even know there are standard requirements to join NATO and Ukraine does not currently meet those requirements?

While most of those decisions does not benefit any of those countries militarily ...

It gives them a sense of protection.

If Georgia was part of NATO, will Russia invade them in 2008?

If Ukraine is already part of NATO, will Russia invade them now?

If Finland is already part of NATO, will Russia be threatening them now?

The US purposely change the rules based system to overthrow Ukraine legitimate govt and install a puppet that will allow them place missiles on Ukrainian soil just like they've done in Poland and Romania... In most cases, Russia have redrawn untill now when they drew the red line.

How did US overthrow the legitimate government?

Did US force the Ukrainian parliament to vote for impeachment?

Did you even know the vote was Unanimous, as even the president's party members didn't vote for him to remain in office? As in, he didn't even have a single vote.

Or is it the US fault that he failed to properly manage the many months of protests that eventually became bloody and led to his impeachment?

Kindly educate me on how US "overthrow" the government, because to the best of my knowledge, he was impeached by his country's parliament.

As if you don't know the play book of the US....

How do you think they forcing Germany to host forces and missiles despite Germany refusal or how do you think they are trying to Compel Germany to remove Russia from SWIFT despite the fact that it will hurt the German economy more than Russia?

Yes I know that there are standard requirements for NATO with Ukraine doesn't meet but Russia will not wait for the day that Ukraine finally meet them.

It this point Where Russia feel like it Security is threatened... There's not going to be peace in Europe until those element are removed and it doesn't matter who is in NaTO or not.

You should go and read the Russians security demands. The Russians are currently using the Madman doctrine right now.

They will match on Romania and threaten the world with nuclear war by threatening New York and London. You think the US will go to Nuclear war over Romania to watch New York in flames?
The mad man Schwab at Davos and his Davos crowd who are ruling the western world in their current craziness will not want that.

Remember the Cuban missile crisis..? The world is on a similar path.


If you don't know what happened in 2014, atleast go and read about it and stop asking questions that does not relate.
