WHITELIGHTER: If the 100 million+ Russians can troop out of their homes massively to protest that would mean something. If the Russians can unite like the Americans did during the George Floyd protest it would be ground breaking. Presently only a minority of the population is out on the streets protesting. |

yanabasee:Oga, countries have had sanctions for years and they are still surviving. Cuba has had sanctions for over 60 years. You know what, they have the best Healthcare in the world. The highest ratio of doctors to patients. Their literacy level is higher than even the US. Americans, Canadians go on medical tourism to the sanctioned Cuba. The sanctions placed on Russia 2014 made Russia more independent. From being an importer of grains to the world highest exported in less than 6 years. It will be painful at first but they will overcome. 1 Like |

Kelvinhunta: America does makes decision alone and forces it down the throat of the so called allies. She is not doing this for the first time. Russia knows where and who is holding her money. Or is she not part of this world again? And the world knows better now, cos the heavily unreasonable and wicked sanctions placed upon Germany after the first world war was a major cause of the second world war. About contradiction, no i did not. I did not state anywhere that Russia's Putin is right or wrong. She has reasons for her decisions whether we accept it or not and US and Ukraine does too. The reason for each countries actions (national interest) is what we are discussing here and possible outcomes. Right or wrong is subjective to each of these countries in this case. America believed she is "protecting the world" like IGP of the world, Russia believe she is protecting herself from NATO and western interference in her affairs and Ukraine is protecting her right as a sovereign state with rights to association and self determination. So, none of them is wrong or right entirely. |

joyandfaith:I never wanted to comment on this thread but this naive or amateur post prompted me. 1. It took the combined forces of US, UK and Australia over 3 weeks to capture Baghdad in 2003. There is a difference between capturing a country and destroying a country. For Russian air forces to destroy Ukraine or Kyiv, it will happen in couple of hours. Capturing a territory requires street to street battles to root out enemy elements which may run into weeks or months. 2. "A great army doesn’t ask 3 countries (Belarus, China and Syria) for military help" America hardly goes into war without taking other countries to it, that was the essence of their establishment of NATO in 1949. 3. If Russian Army is trash, then what will you call the army that ran away from Afghanistan after getting exhausted from fighting a ragtag militia? Your comment is amateurish! 1 Like |

tollyboy5: In 1939, Fighting Russians (Then USSR) close to the border where their supplies are available is a mistake that Finland did. Even though the Finnish soldiers fought very valiantly, they soon realised that Russia has an infinite supply of soldiers. Nomatter how many Russian soldiers they killed at the border, more will show up the next day. Until the Finns have up and sued for peace. Russia took 9% of their land and billed them $300m USD as punishment. In 1979, the Afghans used their traditional battle strategy that has worked for them for over 3,000 years. They allowed the Russians to invade relatively easily, then every citizen attacked the Russians from inside the cities. You can't bomb the cities if your soldiers are there. The war lasted only 10 years and the Russians have up. Not because they lost men, but because they lost expensive ammo. The war was too costly for them. The Afghans used this strategy on the US. US was spending close to $300m USD per day to keep the war going. Even though they lost only 2,000 soldiers and killed 250,000 Afghans, when Co-id19 came, the US realised they needed money to pay palliatives and all, so they gave up the war. Afghan victory again. The Ukrainian strategy is different, they are combining the battle strategy of the Afghans with that of the Finns. They lured the Russians out of the borders and deep into Ukraine, then prevent them from gaining entrance into the major cities while attacking their rear to cut off their supply lines. Instead of waiting for when to engage in a tank battle, they go behind and ambush the fuel trucks. If the fuel trucks are dead, the tanks can't drive much further without running out of fuel. Now the Russian crew in the tanks have to abandon it and try to run within Ukraine on foot. Soon they are arrested, soon they become prisoners of war. Now Ukraine owns the abandoned tanks, the Ukraine defence minister said the other day that Russia is their biggest supplier of tanks and ammunition. It is said that Russia has lost about 1/4 of it's invasion weapons. Any military unit they loses over 1/3 of it's weapons has lost combat effectiveness according to military strategists. Putin has reportedly recalled 6 out of the 20 generals leading the war for him in Ukraine. The Ukrainian snipers have killed another 3. The Russian army has surrounded the city of Kiev on 2 sides for the past few days but they are stalling the attack. Because on the west side, the Ukrainian army is also behind them. If they move in on Kiev, they will be attacked from behind. On the east, the Ukrainian army has another division a little to the south. If the Russian column on the east attacks kiev, the Ukrainian division on the south will move up north, cut them off from behind and attack them. It's a catch 2-2 situation on Kiev now, who moves first? 4 Likes |

Kelvinhunta: We are not arguing here, I am having a discussion with you. Yes, you are right so say that, but how many of us and those that are against Russia now are against US when she took the same action by leading NATO to invade Libya in 2011 (the aftermath is the security crisis we have in Nigeria now, with monumental arms proliferation and emergence of deadly AQIM and ISWAP terror groups within our national borders, apart from our indigenous Boko Haram), Nicaragua Banana wars 1912, 1989 invasion of Panama, 1998 invasion of Afghanistan, Vietnam 1955 and 2003 invasion of Iraq. Are these countries not sovereign and independent when they were invaded? they all had their presidents and a constitution too. So, whatever we are accusing Russia of at the moment, US had done worse. And she is in no place to place sanctions on Russia, thats hypocrisy cos she is guilty too. US should leave those roles to the UN and other Peace loving states. Take Iraq for instance, US said she had seen Weapon of Mass Destruction in Iraq and accused the government of using chemical weapons. All accusations were discovered to be false decades after the war. US is yet to show the world the Iraqi WMD and the Chemical weapon that they were so convinced about prior to the invasion. Other western nations called for caution by she went into it alone declaring war. She only succeeded in creating a failed state and a breeding ground for terror groups, remember ISIS? So, the way we don't look away when unpopular state did something wrong, we shouldn't look away when the popular ones do it wrong too. Its called equity and makes our world saner and safer. Its nice discussing with you. Thanks |

You are saying years ago but am talking about d world of today which is more united than the world of yesterday. America hardly do things without convincing her allies, Russia went to this war without convincing anyone that it's necessary. I perfectly understand Russia's fears in this war but even if America solely invade a sovereign nation without convincing anyone then I will still be against them too Idaytesj29: 1 Like |
