China have nukes and USA don’t go to war with a nation that have nukes.

Without Swift, its still possible to trade internationally, just slower. Swift is like an airline, it makes international transfer faster than using papers and manual check. Also just few banks were cut off not Russia as a whole. Also, money can be rerouted through Singapore and Hong Kong. Swift is not a death sentence. Iran doesn't use Swift but they are doing fine.

Russia has its alternative to Swift known as the CIPS. Russia is a major economy, so lots of countries can join their access network with it, it's not hard. For example the EU still trade with Iran with INSTEX. And one thing people are not asking is this. How will the EU especially Germany and France pay Russia for their gas? Its the headache of the buyer to pay a seller, and if Russia demands gold or Remnibi, then the EU must cough it out.

About the war, I feel really bad about it, but I can see through Putin's eyes, the bigger tragedy he is trying to avoid. Trust me when I said this, this is nothing compared to what is to come if he does not invade now. It would take long but I'll try to explain it in shorts. In game theory, you must fight when you have the advantage, that's how you win. Also, you must know what victory is, and not fooled by momentary victories.

Putin fears that the faith of Yugoslavia will happen to Russia, and no amount of sanction will stop him from securing Russia's future. It's better to fight now and collect all the beatings of sanctions now that you're strong and can survive, than when nato bases surrounds you, and you'll he fighting both sanctions and war on your territory. Its a choice between "a war of choice" now, or "a war of survival" down the line. Its unavoidable, russia must face any of these two fate, and it's common sense to choose the former, not the latter. Sanctions will bite, but Ukraine will not join Nato and with time, sanctions will fade off, but Russia will still be intact.

That's true victory, instead of waiting until youre defeated because of sanctions. The hard way is always the way out in life. Also don't forget, Russia suffered worse economical situation than now. During the break up of the soviet Union, the inflation was so high that a bread cost over 2 billion rubles just like Zimbabwe where bread cost trillion of Zimbabwe dollars. Putin have spent the last decade sanction proofing Russia's economy and as luck may have it, China faces the same western hegemonic threat, and will lend Russia a hand because if Russia goes down, China is in deep soup. If you check out Russia and China in the map you'll see that China feel geographically secured because its impossible to invade them from the west, since they share a border with Russia.

For example its impossible to invade Nigeria from the north, unless you enter through Mali. Now imagine if Mali is an enemy, it would be a nightmare to defend yourself from the Atlantic ocean in the south, and Mali from North. Now imagine the eastside (Cameroon) and the west side (Benin republic) are enemy States, its hell. Luckily, China is exposed only from the SSC (south China sea), facing Japan and South Korea, so the opening is just one. For China, its a life and death issue because Russia must not fall. So they will support it. Putin and Xi are best friends and sign a memorandum of "no limit" to their friendship in the launch of the Beijing Olympic.

Now imagine this. For example, lots of Yugoslavian leaders ended up in ICC in The Hague after break off, where they became weak and become answerable to external powers. Also, Russia is truly an independent country, they control their destiny. No shell controlling their national oil but Gazprom. Strength wins war not who is right. Russia must withstand this tough time, if not, then even a bigger danger awaits them that will make the dissolution of the soviet Union seems like a slap in the wrist. Listen to the speech Putin gave before the war, he hinted a lot of these things.

I expect nothing less from the Muslims World... if America is the devil what can you call the man that advise his followers to convert infidels with sword? The whole wide world only in America can you go and claim right, can you as a Muslim claim right in Saudi Arabia? the same Muslims were running and falling off the planes when the same devil was withdrawing from Afghanistan... your hate will only increase USA dominance on world stage while you continue losing weight.

KingEverest:
for aboki to buy I guess but seriously China pose a bigger threat to America than Russia, China has the economy Russia is just a stock pile of nukes and Amunitions see how Western sanctions is crippling the economy but America sanctions wont work on China they have manage to grow their economy to extend it's challenging the us

Mumusaphire:
bro, sanctions can cripple any country economy. Even if countries sanctions America, their economy will be cripple.

Fessborn:
I smell China is looking for a more tangible reason to engage US better than supporting Russia's invasion of Ukraine

KingEverest:
who will sanction America? God?

obailala:

For even daring to admit the bolded statement with so much confidence and without shame, this one has obviously been brainwashed severely by the western propaganda.
What/Who gives any country the right to invade another sovereign country militarily? Who/what gives a country the right to be "world police" like you put it? There's no absolutely no difference between what the US has done in countless number of sovereign nations and what Russia or China are doing today.

I said it from the start! Russia's invasion empowered tyrannical states. The outcome is the morale they need to proceed or withdraw.

China vs Taiwan is warming up.
India vs Bangladesh coming up.
North Korea vs South Korea coming up.

The United States might be invasive but a power void is dangerous to the entire world.

JosephXavier:
This singular Russian act will only motivate China

The Chinese are not just spectators in that war but observe with keen interest to see the outcome which will determine their next line of action concerning the Taiwanese

US are now struggling more in terms of their external influence as usual when the democrats are in power

We Africans should just relax and enjoy the cinema as the proclaimed World powers take on themselves

If African leaders have sense, they should utilise this opportunity to develop their countries and stay away from supporting any of them

We can't be sacrificed as at the First World War

Praxis758:




Lies!!!!!!!!!

Didn't Japan have a stockpile of Nukes when the US death with them in the second world war?

One thing is to have a stockpile of Nukes, another is to have a strong defense system to resist/stop your teritory from being nuked by the enemy.

Someone like North Korean leader has a stockpile of Nukes but doesn't have an air defense to protect his teritory from external nuke.

Do you think the US is so dumb that it won't prepare itself against being nuked by the enemy. They have THAAD and other air defense technologies whose speeds are calculated to be twice the speed of the fastest warhead from enemy arsenal.

Mynd44:
The world has trabaye-ed

I am expecting India to give a warning on Bangladesh and Pakistan soon.

Seriously though, the US needs to mind their business more

Your 'Lord and personal Saviour' Slammed his head in the Book of Mathew 26 vs 39

this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will,
but as you will.”
The laugh is on you

The US will never invade a Democratic state. They only invade dictators who have become a threat. There is no hypocrisy in this.

Isreal and Palestine have a long going dispute over lands that has nothing to do with the the US who only try’s to mediate for peace. The US doesn’t intervene unless to broker peace on both sides. There is no hypocrisy.

Bfly:




Democracy cannot work everywhere. Let every country choose their fate. America's been imposing this shit on countries who are not even matured for it.

That is how you people said same about Russia before they started invading.
