Putin Is The Enemy, Not The Russian People by Seun(m): 11:54pm On Apr 14, 2022 |
I feel that western leaders and media haven’t been disciplined enough to distinguish between Vladimir Putin and the people of Russia when they talk about the war in Ukraine and the economic sanctions the West responded with. Despite referring to the war as “Putin’s war” at various points, and occasionally pointing out that their enemy is Putin, rather than the Russian people who are also victims of the Putin regime, many of their statements fail to make the distinction. Making the distinction is very important because the people of Russia are potential allies in the fight against the Putin regime in Russia. They are the only ones who can end the Putin regime without the risk of being nuked. The west has to make it clear that the sanctions are meant to punish and weaken the Putin regime. It must be made clear that if the Russian people can replace the Putin regime with a more peaceful government, their economic hardships will end. The sanctions will end. The people of Russia are victims of Vladimir Putin too. He stole their country which was on the path to democracy and now he’s sacrificing the lives of their sons to steal another country. He imprisons, tortures and kills Russians who dare to speak against him. He uses state-owned media to brainwash them. While other countries are focused on building strong economies, the Putin government forces Russians to waste their lives in unnecessary wars that attract painful sanctions. 15 Likes 5 Shares |

Some people will cry as baba don talk @seun it's a gradual process. The people of Russia can't revolt against Putin when they still buy things cheaper and are not suffering. When the brunt of the sanctions hit the roof, they will come in with phase 2 of the plan. The end of Putin is really near. 2 Likes |

Putin is the evil one for attempting to protect his country's interests and security, as all world power countries will do, but NATO is the good one for attempting to encircle Russia by expanding east after an agreement not to do so. Russia was a democratic, federative, law-based state governed by a republican system. Or are you all expecting Russia (a western axis) to implement a full western democratic way of government with a flawed system for regime change when it is not in the west's interests?

Drenimarcus: So Nigeria can invade Togo, Benin and Sierria Leone because people there speak yoruba if they are being killed? Donbas is not the start or reason for the war. If the Donbas people are so Russian, then why not just move to Russia? Putin had no right and still has no right to invade another country. He is an aggressor. He is mentally stuck in the glory days of USSR and wants to bring back the soviet days, which is not possible. He is going to create another Libya or Syria when someone in his inner circle or military decides to off him, because that's the way this is going. It's becoming a bigger despot or instability in Russia. 12 Likes 1 Share |

fkj950ax: On the bolded, YES. Nigeria owes it a duty as a more powerful West African nation to invade another country that is killing the ethnic Igbos in Cameroon or ethnic Yorubas in Togo. If that conflict comes, fck international sovereignty, Yoruba militias have a right to invade Togo to protect their tribesmen from being persecuted or cleansed. If you are born a coward, stick to that way forever. Not everyone is. Also, you made a very stupid analogy. What the hell is that if the Donbass are Russian, they should move to Russia? You should leave your homeland of hundreds of years because Kiev wants to kill your culture? The people of the Donbass have a good relationship with Russia and a bad one with Ukrainian government. If the Ukrainian government knew any better, they should not have tried to persecute them. Once you persecute, the people rise up. Just like I am against the Biafran agitation, but if it gets out of hands and it is like FG intentionally killing Igbos, then it is welcome to Biafra. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

Seun: Bros, you may need to read a little bit more to broaden your opinion. 90% of ethnic Russians in Russia and in the Baltics are in support of the special military operation in Ukraine. 13 Likes 1 Share |

kingthreat: There is nothing factual from your first Donbas comment to the last one of Nigeria having the right to invade its neighbors. They are all in fact very stupid suggestions. I didn't respond to you because I was done engaging you, knowing noting intellectual will come out of doing so, and you come back saying you countered with facts. 3 Likes 1 Share |
