Something I've learnt about this war is, if you country is rich and heavily armed, nobody will try nonesense with you, we know how America invaded Afghanistan, Syria, libya etc. For having a different believe, now see Russia doing something similar and more worse, the US are stepping back.

Another thing is don't think when you are gentle, calm and armless, you neighbours will be calm to you. I just putting Africans countries when one evil neighbours go reason our matter. Some one can just wake up one day, check how armed your country is, if your country is among those holy holy country, they will start invading. Can Russia invade US or China like this, even US can't invade China, but let Afghanistan or Iraq test any nuclear weapon, you will see real invasion







Wallahi, I was enjoying your commentaries not until I read the last 4 lines.
Dude, it shows that you don't really understand what's going on + deliberate defiance to foreign news.
You have the option of consulting google before exhibiting this balderdash.

The same hypocrites telling us about free speech, they want their people to watch CNN and be fed with one sided propaganda from CNN, MSNBC, Fox, BBC. They don't want to hear the other side of the story
who takes CNN seriously these days?

George Orwell was right.

The West wants to control the media. But all they give us is an unbalanced account of the war.

Everyone is guilty of propaganda.

Propaganda is a part of war.

The West should stop with their double standards.
You are contradicting yourself here. True, propaganda is a part of war and it is about who controls the narrative. It could be via sanctions, ban or force. Propaganda is essential in winning any war and the EU is not wrong to take this step. Russia's troll farm has been on overdrive since the war started. However, they added bullying and threats, which exactly isn't bad in times like this.

There is nothing like 'free speech' when cards are off the table. It's war and the earlier we understand it, the better for our very own sanity.

The western media are dishing out propaganda news on the conflict and claiming Russian media putting out propaganda news and then got them banned!

Why not let the viewers have a balanced report and make a choice?

Just imagine Ukraine claims they already killed 4,500 Russian soldiers and they Ukraine lost less than 400!!. Who dey lie.


I am more pro West but don't accept what is morally wrong Even via propaganda.

As per the conflict in Ukraine.

In reality, they're only slowing down Russian advance with their military using banned phosphorus to fight the Russians.

The Truth will be out before Friday.

Some people tend to follow the western narratives which are made up majorly of lies.

You don't like me and kept bringing weapons, soldiers and your allies close to my borders?

Did US agree to Russia bringing weapons and soldiers to Cuba, Venezuela, Canada or mexico

Will the UK appreciate Russia forming an alliance with Argentina which UK too Falkland islands from and a war was fought over it?

Will Turkey appreciate or accept Russia deploying troops and equipment to Cyprus border with Turkish Cyprus?

If the answer is NO why do you do so to Russia and rubbish her written security proposal?

About France, if it not the same France that deployed weapons and soldiers to Cameroon side during the bakassi peninsula military clashes? Some of their soldiers even fought on the Cameroonian side during the clashes and called and threatened Nigeria diplomats with Nuclear weapons back then?

Most people on NL were either not born then or were too young to understand what went on and What's going on now!

Most of these countries want to dominate the World so far it favor them and don't give a f..k about what others want.

Ukraine should be neutral and stop being Pro West and let Russia and US + Nato drag their Matter for as long as they want

This is just like a fire brigade approach. If it were working, there won't be additional sanctions upon sanctions being rolled out daily.

It's of little effect...and as it appears, Russia doesn't give a f.uvk.

Look for opposing views from media outlets that aren't controlled by Putin

Before you take a side remember they don't give a sh**t about you Africans!

NATO contribute a great percentage of the terrorism we are currently battling with. US can invade any country with no one sanctioning them.

Russia would not want the terrorism to end as its end means decrease in demand for their products - AK 47.

France, a member of NATO would rather have all the francophone countries invaded than allowing them have a currency of their own...

The list is endless

G4 needs to add more countries so the future of Africa can be discussed.

Western propaganda, they want everyone to believe their lies, that’s how they reported that Russia troops killed guards at the snake Ireland of Ukraine but later we get to find out they’re alive, what shock me most is one America FOX news that claimed so far that 360 civilians had been killed since the invasion started, they intend to brainwash the world with lies this is the strongest tools to mess with people minds and get you to believe their crap.

Your assertions are partially true.
Wealthy countries with robust economy also control power to a degree. And it is true that the world powers will really really hesitate among themselves to invade one another.

Not trying to justify US at all; US has her lopsided approaches and view, depending on factors such as party in presidency, personality, present economic policies, etc
Having stated that, it is however not on the same ground that US 'invaded' Syria, Libya and Afghanistan that Russia is invading Ukraine.
All those places you mentioned have been having internal issues. Nation-wide protest was going against Ghadaffi already causing unrest, Syria was having almost decade-long crisis, Afghanistan's was traceable to al-queda and terrorism seat, and especially, more like a revenge of September 11 attack on the US.

All these don't look exactly like Russia taking war into Ukraine because of Putin's insinuations into a country (Nazi's affliation, tendencies of joining issues with NATO , etc) which is not facing internal turmoil. I am aware of Donetsk and other place within Ukraine declaring for Russia, but yet, the aggression of Russia against Ukraine can't be termed as that of "intervention".

So, now that there are protest against in Ukraine, Russia etc. Why can't US invade Russia to kill Putin, Just like they did to Ghadaffi, or are you saying Putin should not be called a terrorist, because he isn't Muslim. You think what Putin is doing is fighting for Russia, he is actually fight for power and domination.

The Iranian general US killed a year ago, has he done worse than what Putin did, or aren't they both fighting for their country. You talked about Afghanistan being traceable to terrorism, that's why US invaded their country and destroyed their country for more than 20 years, now Putin is destroying Ukraine, do terrorist do more than that. Or you think those terrorist don't have their own believes too, what mak s Putin more justified that them is because he is wealthy and his country have nuclear weapons.
