The West has the power of the media and they use it for propaganda.
If you want outright knowledge of events around the world, avoid CNN and other American News Channels.
They are just Government tools and anything you see on the screen is regulated and endorsed by the powers that be.
Trump actually called cnn corrupt

My brother, Russia has entered Ukraine to capture the president just the way USA went to another country to capture their citizen.

Hope u know that one of the major reasons NATO led USA destroyed Libya was because Libya signed some deals with Russia few months earlier including allowing Russia to have a military base in Libya. Hahahahaha, USA cant take what they dish out to people.

Okay now... When Russia annexed Crimea, what was done by the international community? Nothing!
Russia clearly overstepped their boundaries this time around. Even the US isn't directly involved in the war, except for sanctions.

What you don't realize is that Countries like North Korea, Iran and China are busy observing the response from the international community and they would likely do the same in the near future if nothing is done to stop such.

Let Russia continue with their assault on Ukraine and let's see how many more Russian soldiers have to die before they "capture" Kiev.

If you lot are supporting WW3, be my guest, but Ukraine never did anything to warrant such aggression from Russia.

So what's the bottom line now? That since the US allegedly invaded some countries, Russia should be allowed to run down Ukraine?

His sentiments reveal the conclusion of his line of thought.
No...
He's talking about the bias of the media.... completely bias...
Putin has his fault and shud be sanctioned accordingly but the West has far more faults and have never been sanctioned for all their attrocities...
Take for instance, Libya was having a very good economy and were enjoying peace before the west came and destroyed everything. Eversince, the beautiful serene Libya has never been the same again, it's war after war eversince the invasion by America.
Same goes for Afghanistan and many others.
Look at Nigeria, we were living on our own peacefully with our crude technology but very organized leadership style before the west came, and enslave us in the name of colonization, then gave us independence in a very wrong fashion....what has happened to us since then, tribe that do not like themselves. Our petroleum then became a curse, and so on etc....

Imagine Egypt decided to place a Nuclear weapon in Niger Republic very close to our border, will we be thinking about Niger being a sovereign nation or will we invade? If I were President, I WILL INVADE without thinking twice after I must have WARNED Niger...This my friends is the CRUX of the matter. Russia is saying to Ukraine..." You cannot join NATO because we do not need "our enemies or their weapons", too close to us"... Shikena...CASE CLOSED...*DROPS MIC *

so killing and displaying innocent people is okay now base on an imaginary scenario.

you do realise if the US don't need Ukraine for whatever reason right. Placement of weapons, they have that in Turkey already.

NATO base? having a base that close to your 'enemy' that can stay on his side and analysis your equipments and weapons is double jeopardy.

Go and read about "American CONTAINMENT Policy" in Russia and China.
Most of you really need to read wide, l mean really read wide (l am not saying this in an offensive manner but Nigerians are really annoying when it comes to displaying ignorance on the international Affaors level), to understand how Nuclear Powers intend to attack each other.

Do you think America is foolish, for having Military Bases, in strategic locations all around the World?
Do you think they would expend so much money and resources to do that, if "PROXIMITY" does not count?

A Missile fired from Turkey, will take longer to reach Russia, than one fired from Ukraine, meaning that the "defensive response time" of Russia, WHEN FIRED FROM UKRAINE, will be reduced and response can become impossible, if such time is too short), than one fired from Turkey.

And that's why after studying Western culture, we maintain Afrocentrism.

Everything is based on point of view. All the time!!

Everything white people have taught you is also based on their biased point of view. Of course!!

From your first day in school, learning A is for Apple, that's their point of view!!

White people have every right to their point of view. The problem is you that thinks Africans must do and learn everything from white people and Arabs.

If you don't have your own point of view, you're dead!!

You see how countries that the US bombed are suffering, that's exactly what will be the fate of the world if powerful countries like China and Russia are not in the front line fighting the battle for us all. If these two countries are cleared, the world is already a conquered place. You think you're suffering abi, keep supporting the US.

Isn't it funny how many mainstream Western media that run the story of Ukrainian soldiers and later it emerged their wee alive. Some called it propaganda but it wasn't propaganda, it was an outright lie and fake news intended to decieve people.

The question is how many news channel was sanctioned by Facebook and twitter for posting such fake news since the conflict began? How many of such news was even blocked by their usual "fact check"? None

Yet many Russian news channels have been blocked by Youtube.
What stories did they run? You didn't even make any point and somehow you came to a conclusion...lol. go back and type your post clearly

But when they kill Osama in Pakistan what did they do to Pakistan for harboring him. And why didn't they leave Afghanistan when Osama was killed in Pakistan until they new they've lost the war against the Taliban. And everyone is now blaming Biden for leaving Afghanistan without a plan when it was obvious that the Taliban had been gaining more grounds in the country for over 3 years.

Guy, Putin is evil and Zelensky also is not a saint. I have a guy in Ukraine that said that the eastern part of the country that Russia is supporting now has always been marginalized and killed by the Ukrainian authority far before the region took up arms to confront the Ukrainian forces. But the media won't report that because it didn't fit the narrative.
I'm not in support of anyone but if you don't know that the media always report news in ways that support their narrative, my guy you're on your own o.

Just this past week before the invasion, I don't know if you read it in the news that Israel shot down a Syrian military fighter jet that was on a mission to combat an Isis region. The jet was shot in Syria air space not Israel air space o.

UAE and Saudi had been bombarding Yemen for years now with little or no media coverage o.

So many things going on without it being reported cos it doesn't fit the narrative.

You know that the soldier guarding Snake island in Ukraine that were initially reported killed by Russia and later found to be alive. When the news of them being alive broke, some media were saying that it was Russian propaganda that they were actually killed only for them to report later that they were now alive.

USA, Russia Ukraine, UK, France etc all have one evil act or the other that they perpetuate.

Most of these ignorant people commenting on the current Russia/Ukraine/NATO impasse, were not born in the days of the Cold War so they cannot appreciate what it means to have a Bi-Polar World.
They cant understand what the WEST (America and Europe) did to African leaders, after independence and how their actions have contributed to the rot in Africa, as of today and to make it worse, they dont read nor study History. undecided

I will NOT SPEAK about the Russia/Ukraine debacle after now, but AMERICA is very wicked and hypocritical. There is a reason why I always advocate CRITICAL THINKING.

I am never emotional when I speak about very weighty matters...NEVER! We must learn to do our personal research and gather information so that we are not MISLEAD by the mainstream media. In 1962, America nearly went to war with Russia simply because Russia had deployed BALLISTIC MISSILES to Cuba.
.




.
The U.S were not having it because they didn't want a country like Cuba which was an ALLY of Russia having such missiles so close to them. Today, Russia is simply doing what any nation would do to protect themselves. The HYPOCRTICAL U.S is trying to get Ukraine into NATO which will enable them place WEAPONS and a NATO BASE in Ukraine.
.



.
Russia is simply saying to them..."Just like you didn't allow us place weapons in Cuba, we too will not allow you place weapons in Ukraine". This is the simple SUMMARY of this war...They are saying," We will not allow Ukraine join NATO because it will bring you too close to us and that makes us VULNERABLE. We too will not take it".
.



.
When you understand how THE WEST LIES, you will know how to protect yourself. The POWER BROKERS of this world are CALLOUS...Let's learn to DEEPLY THINK...There is a difference between "A TRUTH" and "WHAT IS TRUE"�.
