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.

Indeed there is a double standard when it comes to how the mainstream media reports the news. We all know that. When white people do things that are not good, they report it differently than when a Black person does it.

Every news has its audience and even news channels know their audience. A British news station cannot be expected to spend equal time on news coverage of West Africa as it spends on European news or covering events in the United Kingdom. There are some things that are just simple logic without having to read ulterior motives and spin conspiracy theories.

Nawa for nairalanders especially anti western people that will jump on American or British visa but won't go china, Russia e.t.c.This is a caption lifted from aljazeera about the media coverage of the war, and also media traffic been pulled by each network, from my assessment CNN have more experienced war correspondents than most networks, although they sympathetic to the ukarians . But their coverage still remain the best , aljazeera they need more experienced hands in covering real conflicts not the Gaza issues that they carry for head like gala .

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 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 four d to be alive. When the news of th being alive broke some medias 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.



As we speak right now, l just spoke with a young Cousin in Ukraine/Poland Border and he was crying! WHY?
The Polish Border Guards allowed Ukrainian and other "White Refugees" from Ukraine to enter Poland but LOCKED THE GATE AGAINST BLACK REFUGEES FROM UKRAINE!

He said they have been there, in the sub-zero temperature since Friday Night,

I advised him to go back home in Ukraine, not carry any weapon and display a White Flag on his Window, that l am certain Russian Soldiers will not touch them.
He said if they did that, the Ukrainian Nationalist (Neo Nazis) Militias will come in, drag them out and shoot them. he said they are more afraid of them than the Russians, and that is why they want to run away now, that they still have the chance.
But the Western Media is not reporting any of these, as if they are not aware, afteral, it is just BLACK people.

It is this same Ukrainian Nationalist Nazis that are killing the Ethnic Russians in Dombas Region, that Putin is determined to get rid of, that he invaded Ukraine.


Poland, Hungary and Ukraine are full of all these White Supremacist Neo-Nazis that hate others to the point of killing others. Those are Hitler's Boys on the prowl

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.

again you clearly missed the whole point as it is usual with you guys.

Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are all closer to Russia than Turkey yet there's no missile there.
So why should they leave those ones and only be looking for Ukraine. You that have read wide. Reason! Think critical.

An AWC don't need to fly over a country to get info about enemy positions and equipments. Russia can easily get that by staying in Russia.
Yet you believe the US that ban Turkey, its ally from the F-35 program will now willingly move it's equipments into Ukraine all because they want to place missiles in Ukraine for a war that may not happen ever.
Missiles that can be delivered effectively from a sub in the black sea or the Baltic sea or the Pacific.

Reason guy, you are falling for Russian paranoia here

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.

Which Media outlets do you suggest that are relatively neutral? Because last i checked, even rt.com Russia also report biased news against the west.... The one i read majorly now is Jerusalem post....

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.

How do you guys even come up with this analysis?


please dont bother yourself responding to these delusional nitwits. are estonia and latvia not neighbours of russia? aalways with the bs of nato stockpiling missiles forgetting that warfare has gone beyond that, especially with the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles and even rail gun and space based weaponry. PUtin is just an imperialist( thats the modus operandi of authoritarian rulers). lets not also forget that nazi germany used the invasion of smaller nations to kickstart their economy, who knows if putin did not plan to use this in a similar manner

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.

When USA invaded Iraq, Afganistan, Libya, etc, what was done to the USA?

USA led to the crises by using coup to remove a president elected in Ukraine who was a pro Russia and replaced him with their own pro choice president. That Russian pro region got angry and declared independence from Ukraine. Ukraine led forces started war agaisnt that region and over 15k people have died and they are mainly Russians in that region.
So, can u see how USA works? lol, most of u dont know USA

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"�.

Ok at least you didn't state that America tried to crush Cuba but nearly went to war with Russia. Why didn't Russia slug it out with NATO instead trying to bully Ukraine?

The Ancient Benin Kingdom
The success of Benin was fueled by its lively trade. Tradesmen and artisans from Benin developed relationships with the Portuguese, who sought after the kingdom’s artwork, gold, ivory, and pepper.

So you can see the Benin kingdom refined gold and transfered the technology to the portuguese.

I no get energy to type long epistle but please look up Malian empire, ancient Ethiopia and ancient Egypt.
