God!!!

Pls is your brain working at all? Is it Zelensky that started the war? Did Zelensky first attack Russia? Or because Ukran want to join NATO so the best Russia can do to stop them is war? Pls where are your senses for goodness sake?

Or you want ukrain to just surrender their Land just like that to Putin but when Adeshina said give your land to fulani or get kill you came here insulting him but now want entire country to turn cowards to Putin baa?

God, pls why did you chose to create people with empty skulls and dropped them in Nigeria and in NL in particular? Imagine how your brain works?

Russian Anti-Satellite Weapons will disengage NATO from communication and everything. NATO Military Satellites will be taken down very quick and fast by Russian Military. When this is done, NATO won't be able to communicate to its military and command centers. Russia will result to Hypersonile weapons to infitrate NATO air defense systems. NATO will become so vulnerable. They know this and they are afraid. Putin is fully ready for an all-out-war with NATO. They should come out and fight.

Who knows, this gentleman just might be applying one of the 48 Laws of Power which admonishes that it is better your enemies assume you're very weak than powerful as such could work eventually in your favour.

But I'm sure their enemy, in this case, Russia, knows exactly what their capabilities are.

A very reasonable comment. Only those who have read, digest and understand the laws of power possess quality leadership traits. Same gimmicks was adopted by US in WW2 and no one knew they had atomic bombs when the likes of Nazis army were boasting they have produced ballistic missiles. Nagazaki and Hiroshima still plays in the mind of veterans.

I hope it doesn't come to the point where nuclear warlords will be release by the west and east because that will almost be like rapture.

With your statement you've technically partitioned Ukraine along the Dneiper

Any way, Krivoy Rhiy in Dnipropertovsk is beyond the Dneiper and Russia will aim for it if they take wither Zaporizhzhia or Nikolaiv

It is not because of any other thing but because of the nuclear weapon Russia might likely use. NATO has no defence against it. Nuclear arm aside, Russia stand no chance against NATO. We saw what is happening in Ukraine, Russia just showed the world they were never ready too.

With the current offensive by Russia and her allies in Ukraine, If a truce is not agreed upon real quick, there will be a wider conflict. Real big one.

Russia is no longer playing safe but annexing Ukraine to the shame of NATO. Only heavy artilleries can deter Russia which inturn will kick start the real show.

I see Russia distracting US while in Taiwan something big happens.

It's complicated. No side is listening at the moment.

It's funny how the west is avoiding a war on their home ground but is encouraging Zelenski and supporting him to destroy his home. We all have to know our real enemies.

Imagine how people left the main cause of the problem to blame the man that is defending himself and his people.

Ukraine didn't evade anybody,, Russia did...But people still find a way to blame the president...Like He should have folded his hands and watch Russians take over his country...

Or Ukraine cannot chose who to and who not to mingle with because they border a country who's president is power drunk..... Like because my papa dey malice people, make I join the malice wey nor benefit my papa...rubbbisshhhhh...

Calm down...


When the battle is set you'll understand why NATO have been avoiding open confrontation. Russia is not acting alone I hope you know that.

May we not see Europe torn apart for the sake of our brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties, friends, acquaintances that dwell there.

Sometimes when I read comments on this forum, the ignorance of people here amazes me… the UK alone as approximately 20k active military personnel and the whole of Europe’s military combined active forces is not enough to fight Russia except if the States army is added… This people have seen how successful the Russians are fighting and they are not up to per with Russia “for now”…

**it will take Germany a decade before its military are ready for this kind of war***

Ask your self, why is it only the states sending military to NATO states? There is your answer when you figure it out.

We all know that the war between NATO vs China or Russia is coming one day that's why NATO trying to circle Russia and China to gain military advantage.

Too many stupid statements here to read.

NATO not ready to fight Russia is not a sign of weakness. It's just unreasonable to fight unnecessary war.

Not like US, NATO and Russia can't nuke themselves. Russia knows very well it will go down fast should there be any war. Reason why they are willing to use nuke because in that way they won't go down alone.

But in reality, Russia will be wiped off the map leaving the rest of the world partially destroyed and some parts void. It's just common sense.
Russia would go but all USA and partially half of Europe too, because anyone that hit Russia will spread to other part of Russia neighbors that are in same NATO and Canada and Mexico will go down with USA tell me who win?

You were correct until you erroneously assumed there will be parts of the western world that would survive. Wrong! It will be mutually assured destruction. Only those in nuclear bunkers with 2 years supply would survive. A typical ICBM today Carries about 10 MIRV nuclear war head. We have 1600 already armed at both end’s nuclear triad. There are currently no known counter measures and at best, interception rate will be less than 50%. 1 warhead today yields more than 700kN and above, in retrospect, FATBOY used in Hiroshima was 15kN. Do the math, you have an already armed 1600*10 in Russia and 1600*3(minute man) in the west. Just one of 16000, can wipe an entire city, so where will survive the onslaught? Both sides knows, reason NATO wants to avoid a direct clash at all cost, as it would likely escalate to nuclear exchange, a risk they are not willing to take.

Do you know the difference between conventional and non conventional weapons.

In a conventional war which Russia is fighting against Ukraine Russia stand no chance against NATO.

Russia cannot defeat Turkey talk more of NATO

Any country that fires a single nuclear weapon to another nuclear country means destruction of the World.
