Russia has nukes and if you don't keep a close look on them, they can decide to bomb the US.

America has been a target for a lot of countries with nuclear weapons ..

And to be careful, you must know these people by watching them closely....


You people just type gibberish without facts.. How many countries has nuclear weapons that are targeting the united states'? For the records, UNITED STATES' plus NATO allies are the Ultimate Nuclear powers? Tell me the " many countries" targeting US? Is Russia and allies like Korea , and China the many countries?

You people just talk nuclear weapons as if nah short gun... Nuclear weapons isn't a joke

but they had a reason for doing so. It wasn't has if it was an unprovoked attack

Russia will also have their own "good reason" for doing same if or when the time comes!

Hypocrisy goes both ways!

You only mentioned what Russia wants, and how they want to protect their territory, you refused to ask what Ukraine wants.
Ukraine wants an independent country where rule of law and real democracy is practiced. It's obvious to them Russia can't help them get the development, progress and independent they desire. That's why they head west....

It's all about interest of various nations and actors involved in this script.

America is not 1/10th as powerful as they've made us believe. People who couldn't defeat ordinary Talibans in over 20-years.

America did not go there to fight them, they went there to maintain normalcy
So you mean to say America can not defeat the talibans if they so wanted to ?

The US has its Monroe Doctrine and will not allow any Russian influence in the western hemisphere as evidenced in the Cuban Crisis of 1962 but has no qualms about going into Russian areas of influence. Putin has been voicing his opposition to US and NATO encroachment in his traditional areas of influence for years and has largely been ignored. The result now is this war. I have always known that the US and NATO's plan of isolating Russia would be costly and dangerous.

Nothing the west did would have stopped Putin's plans. Nothing. Very tiring to hear how they shoulda, woulda, coulda.

This was the plan. Period. And while he’s the head goblin, he has millions of enablers.

Foolish man .

Exactly what I have been trying to let people believe but they keep saying BS like if Trump was in power this won't happen.
There was no way Russia wasn't going to invade Ukraine. It was going to happen.

You re very funny, is dat what you picked?? The 20million Soviet Soldiers that dead is not ur problem. Putin has spend 20 plus in power but some Nigeria don't have issues with that. That is the tragedy of Russia. Putin trying to been in power forever. If you know the story of the USSR very very well u will understand y other countries want to join Nato. Lenin Stalin plan was a whole world communist thy re not stopping in just Eastern Europe. Russia was occuping east Germany and dividing other countries. This is what putin called tragedy. What Hilter try to do and fail. But if you talk people will say western propaganda.

Protect his interest by dictating to other countries?!
What about the other countries' interest? Do you and Putin care to know why all Russia's neighbours are running to NATO for protection?
What Putin wants his for NATO to leave Russia's weak neighbours at Russia's mercy.

Them joining NATO makes it hard for Putin to subjugate them.

Let's see what he'll when Poland joins NATO

That report is a wishy washy article to exonerate the west from their imperial if not colonial ambitions in Ukraine and even Russia. They want to turn Russia into anther Africa ....where the West call the shots.. ... only naive Nigerians do not know America's intentions are to colonize Russia to give the USA enuff strategic room and free up resources to contain CHINA..........the signs are clear! CHINA will surpass the USA as the preeminent world economy in less than 10 years: the real koko is china.......but china no be naija! The Chinese are an ancient nation , disciplined and wily ! The days of western pride and arrogance is over..........arrayed against them are China,Russia, India, Saudi Arabia and the global south.

Don't mind the hypocrites and their supporters.
They tell you Putin is a dictator, yet Biden that's not a dictator is trying to force all other countries to condemn Russia, by hook or by crook.
I thought democracy is about choice, how come US would not allow other countries to make their choice and decision in this crisis.
They have threatened China, India, Pakistan and so many others. Is that democracy.

A country would unilaterally sanction another country, and then threaten every other country not to go against the sanction, or face consequences. Is that rule of law?

Where is the place of the UN, oh! I almost forgot, they control what happens at the UN, but Russia and China veto would not allow them to always have their way.

While so many countries are talking about finding a solution to the crisis, they are hell bent on escalating it, after all, Putin is their target.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. For those praising the US, a time would come, when they'll start calling for regime change in countries that are not ready to implement their LGTB nonsense. Our eyes go clear that time.

The only thing that's curbing it a little for now is the fact that Russia and China have veto power at the UN, but by the time they are able to destroy those two countries, if allowed, then I feel sorry for Africans and Middle East countries.

It's because Russia has failed in the aspect of diplomacy, they should have drawn those
neighbouring nations (the likes of Ukraine, Georgia, Latvia, Poland etc) closer by contributing majorly to their development or by offering them better deals that would be beneficial to both economies, instead of trying to impose fear on them. Don't forget that these countries are sovereign nations that retain the right to associate or do business with whoever they deemed fit.

The USA have seized the initiative,via the NATO umbrella.

Might without diplomacy (which requires collective wisdom) is vanity.

The West and the UN would watch war brewing in a country but they would not make serious attempts to prevent break out of war.
But when war eventually breaks out in the country, the West and the UN start to run about begging for peace.
