There is a war going b/w Russia and her neighbour while there is no in Nigeria. Just agitation for a better Nigeria.

The difference is clear.

The funny aspect of the protest is that if it is mismanaged, and it degenerates to a revolution that leads to the ousting of Putin, many anti-US folks will not see it as a consequence of Putin's dictorship and tyranny but label it as an American sponsored protest.

Ruling people with fear alone is a precursor to revolution. There's only so much the citizens can bear. If Putin continues to lord it over the Russians, it's just a matter of time before the Arab spring will be replayed in Russia
I doubt it.
Russians are hardly republican.
Like most blacks they tend to gravitate towards autocrats.
If not for the Bolshevik revolution they will still be ruled by the Romanov dynasty and somewhat resemble the Gulf states of the mid east.
Even China is more democratic and its peoples more demanding.

I have been reading numerous comments on this forum in respect to Ukraine-russia war. I stop respecting Russian the day I found out Russia is not as sound as many passive . Russia still living in the past glory.
Let me clarify this, Russia is very poor in terms of logistics, education, technical know how, technology backwards in this 21st century, poor innovation and many more.

Don't be surprised that Russia is finding its difficult or find it tough with Ukraine Army. Yes hear me clearly , imagine common GPS they could not navigate , Infact they are completely lost.

Very poor in land battle only rely on fighters jet , yet most of her fighters jet were brought down by ill-equipped Ukrainian soldiers. Imagine a country that to challenge western allies talkless usa .

I can bet Nigeria army can take on Russia . I'm very happy that the world is seeing her weakness in the battle field. Her soldiers not highly trained with this modern age. Russia is exhibiting poor skill. In fact her soldiers not trained on their own weapons and this is the nation that want to challenge USA.
But it is practice and experience that brings about competence.
Even the Nigerian Army will be a lot more capable today than it was in 1999 when it returned to the barracks.
Russia has not fought a major war for decades unlike America that does so every two decades on average.
The Russian armed forces will get better with time and tide.

The same Russia soldiers that defeated the Nazis and win WW2.

The war in Ukraine is very different. Russia soldiers don't want to inflict more casualties on Ukraine because they see Ukraine as their brothers. Remember that they are both Slavic ethnic tribe.

You say Nigeria army will defeat Russia army cheesy Even buhari will arrest you if said it on his presence cheesy

The same Nigeria army that can't defeat Boko Haram on Nigeria soil for about 10 years now grin

You are comparing Nigeria army with Russian army ? Are you ok ? I don't think so.

Too much of CNN is bad.

You are too ignorant. Imagine saying that Russia is technologically backyard ?

A super power is Russia is what you are describing as technologically backyard ?

I don't know where you read this your propaganda from ?

Same reason. The fear of collateral damage which will drive more people into the arms of Boko Haram.
That has been the limitations of asymmetric warfare all over the world.
Vietnam and Afghanistan wars have taught the world that fundamentalists simply cannot be defeated by force of arms alone.
If the Ukraine conflict becomes a 'fundamentalist' war then Russia will certainly be defeated.... no matter how long it takes.

It was team work. Read your history very well.

The first defeat of the Nazis came in North Africa championed by the British and American forces. (the British did most of he fighting). The result was that Hitler could not get his hands on Mid east and North African oil (which he badly needed for his mechanized forces which was the lynch pin of his successes.) After that he had to rely on synthetic oil and trickle reserves coming from Scandinavia.

The turning point of World War 2 came above the United Kingdom and the English channel when the RAF singularly defeated the Luftwaffe and ended Germany Airforce. An Airforce that will have paid dividends in Russia.

Hitler decided to turn east for the oil reserves in the Urals when America was dragged into the war (because he knew an Allied landing in Europe was going to happen) but without an Airforce and long supply chains to his divided armored forces he lost the battle to take Russia. Mark you he was just 25 miles to Moscow when the tide turned. Without fuel much of his armoured resources were abandoned and the fighting became his infantry versus Russia's armored. He lost.

in the meanwhile the allies had landed in France and so Hitler had to fight on two fronts against three mighty armies. He just could not survive. The allies were exactly the same distance from Berlin as the Russians but Eisenhower ordered the American forces not to enter Berlin so as not to cause a flash with the Russians to Russia took the title of 'surrender', not that they alone won the war or they alone defeated Hitler.

Nazi Germany lost the war because of strategic decisions by Hitler and his generals and I will list them out.
Karl Donitz insistence on the war of attrition in sinking merchant ships, particularly under the US flag.
Hermann Goering's decision to throw practically every german aircraft into the Battle of Britain (who does that) and the bombing of London.
Hitler's decision to divide his armoured forces into two task groups, one headed for the oil fields of the Urals and the other headed for St Petersburg (strategically useless- but bearing the name 'Stalingrad'.... you know the problem with sentiment.). With long supply chains, no protection from the air and winter coming (tight timetable), it was mission impossible.

Note the bolded.
When civilian targets become legitimate, then all bets are off.
In the history of warfare, the first army that attacks civilian targets usually loses.
You just do not kill civilians indiscriminately and win. Russia has tried it in the past, America too and of course Hitler and Tojo. It breeds the resilience and terrible payback of fundamentalism.
Putin should watch this CAREFULLY.

Believe what you want to, if you think it is easy to drive in through another country's border from different borders just to attack it is easy, you are a joker. Not even Benin Republic will Nigeri drive in through without meeting any resistance unless they will surrender at first sight. Check the statistics....If you add up US + UK+ France nuclear warfare, they are still about 500 short of Russia's nuclear weapon, and you think they are archaic in technology. Downing their weapon is secretly done by NATO, believe me, NATO have special forces in Ukraine already, but openly declaring NATO is part of this war will draw Chna's attention, remember NATO tried to get China and India on their side, but these people chose to decline and stay neutral, they are watching as things will unfold. Just weeks ago, China and Russia signed a new pact to support each other through all aspect. All they can do is sanction, now, UK is accusing Germany of not investing in war for decades now, and they need to be restored to their best - EU is not as strong as they make people believe, that's why they are fighting like cult groups, "together we are a force to recogn with"
No one is doubting that Russia is a formidable force. But they are hyped way beyond their capabilities. You can imagine some people even claiming that Russia can take down the US, isn’t that the highest level of clownery.
In full blown conventional warfare Russia can’t even stand the US for a year. Compared to the US Russia is very weak. Na just Nukes dey make all man respect em papa.
You can’t really blame the EU sha, that continent was seriously hampered by lack of landmass. UK and France were world powers at a time that Russia was still nothing but a wilderness. It’s good they stick together.

Russia will definitely lose this war. Latest action against her is on SWIFT where they'd cut off Russians from financial trading. They'd lose billions of dollars. I do think the Russians need to let their government know that this war is a lost cause as it can lead to total worldwide isolation of the Russians, and perhaps, WW3.
lol, you didn't read the whole report on that swift issue. they're only removing some Russian banks from using swift and most of them are not important because Germany knows this would affect them to because Germany and other eu countries literally depend on mother Russia for energy, oil and other farm produce like wheat. so if Germany wants to let's say buy oil from Russia they'll need to use swift to transact. learn to read and understand. smiley

You're wrong. Go and read how SWIFT is important to international transactions. On the commodities you mentioned, they can be gotten from other producing nations of the world. The only key issue is the increase in price. Check the price of commodities whenever there's war, and get back to me. Warring nations are limited by so many obstacles and those are my final words with your narrative.

That should be a good reason for you people to start showing some level of respect to the US led coalition. They did it in Iraq and it was very swift.

How long before Russians revolt

How much pain can they bear because of one mad man's ambitions.

As at yesterday, Russians were rushing to take out their money from banks due to potential banking system collapse.

It's damn near impossible to stop buying oil and other commodities from Russia because they are main suppliers. Russia is the 2nd largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia and other opec countries cannot provide oil for the whole world without Russia. Stopping the nordstream 2 project was one of Europe sanctions against Russia but was about the main Nord stream? Nobody is mentioning it because they know that it's basically impossible to stop it because again Europe DEPENDS ON RUSSIA FOR ENERGY!!
