989900: Find a direct quote from Putin where he said it - not useless propaganda. They also claimed he has cancer and is dying. They claimed there are reports he’ll mobilise on May 9 and declare war (it’s still a special military operation - not full scale war in Russian context) and he never did. His speech for invasion is still there on YouTube with translation - the man never said that. 2 Likes |

Many people are ignorant about the Russian Ukrainian war....... Especially those Putin supporters that keep talking out of sentiment and hatred for USA......Putin supporters keep shifting the goal post and hoping on a Russian army that has been heavily exposed in their military approach and tactics.......Putin supporters will tell you Ukraine is not winning the war but to me debating who is winning the war between Almighty Russian and little Ukraine after 60+ days is a victory for Ukraine already because Putin supporters made us to understand that Kiev will be taken in 3 days but after 2 months we are still debating who is winning.......... Putin supporters even said Zielinsky the president of Ukraine was a comedian and he was misleading his nation,but they forgot that Ukraine has a very strong democracy and the people from the children to the old are ready to lay down their life to fight for their sovereignty....... Ukraine parliament approved the resistance, Ukraine army where ready to defend Ukraine till the last man and this is evident in what is happening in Azovsta steel plant in Mariapol.......This war is not about Zielinsky or USA as I was made to think....... Ukrainians where just sick and tired of been bullied by Russia.........Putin supporters are very quick to say Russia has Nukes, Russia has 6500 nuclear war heads.......Nukes and war head is nothing if you can not deliver it to it's target successfully...... This Ukrainian war has exposed Russia's poor logistics and tactics....... corruption has really crippled Russia and Putin seems to be blind to his country's capabilities militarily........ Russia can not win a nuclear war with UK talkless of NATO or USA ......... Russia's nukes will all be shot down in the Atlantic before it reaches it's destination and with a speed of light Russia will be turned into vapor........ Having Nukes is one thing but having a very smart way of delivery is another thing entirely....... having Nukes is one thing but have a very rubbost mechanism to defend against nukes is another thing entirely.......If Russia uses it's nukes on a war theatre then Russia will be totally destroyed........ Putin supporters will tell you that Ukraine was abandoned by NATO but they forgot that Ukraine was never a member of NATO and Ukrains application was not accepted so how can you abandon a country that was never your member?.......Now that Sweden and Finland will be Fast tracked into NATO let us see if NATO will abandon them if Russia dares attack them......... Russia has exposed itself militarily interms of planning, logistics,tactics, equipment,moral, command structure,......It's is clear to everyone to see Western propaganda or not. 5 Likes |

Demolakay: Why should the US jump in the middle of a war that Russia waged on a non-NATO country? If Russia wants war with the US, they know how to send a signal. Putin issued threats against NATO countries supplying Ukraine with weapons which didn’t deter them. They’re still giving Ukraine weapons and Putin still hasn’t done shit but make more empty threats. 6 Likes |

Demolakay: Is there any reason for the West to invade Russia when in fact Russia could be easily destroyed pain free without confrontation or firing a single bullet? War is not always about gra gra and boasting, the lesson is playing out as we speak on the battlefield, Russia can not defeat Ukraine, but you still want us to believe they can destroy Ukraine in a week, something that they can not even achieve after destroying towns and cities who to me is madness and frustration, not military strategy. Ukraine is at the Russian border as we speak, Russian prized warship is at the bottom of the black sea, 12 generals are dead, 40 colonels are dead, countless military hardware including tanks, jets, helicopters, command and control structures are destroyed and so on so when is Russia going to destroy Ukraine? Small country like Ukraine shouldn't be inflicting so much pain and damage on a supposedly called superpower. So you want us to give Russia another week to achieve that objective? 5 Likes 1 Share |

1stGenAmerican: Who told you China is bothered about your sanctions because she has enough to withstand them. Weithet they fight or not they know the west will sanction them sooner or later. The US&allies can't afford to sanction China too...the pain& consequences will be too brutal for them. Ask Mr. Trump, he tried and the Chinese responded in kind and the US dropped the idea like hot plate. China is just observing and waiting for when push will get to sholve so as to respond with tact. As for south American countries...alot of them tactly support Russia& will join in if matter escalates. Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, Cuba, Brazil are watching keenly. Many Arab nations too are watching keenly. Hope you know Turkey can likely switch sides to support Russia. In Asia, India, China, N/Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos etc watching. In Africa..others are watching...even south Africa& Egypt refused to join the sanctions. Ethiopia,Algeria&Sudan are Putin's allies. Russia keeps making western nations to guess her objectives in Ukraine while she goes ahead to achieve them silently. Mind you, Russia is more than capable to fight on multiple fronts (atleast 4 fronts) they have prepared for this for long. Europe should stop trying to always drag the world back through wars and conflicts because they will bear the most consequences of this conflict and this time is may be more devastating for them. |

Demolakay: This is because they are not stupid and wouldn't want to shoot themselves on the foot like Putin. They know Putin has nukes, eventhough Russia will be annihilated but not at zero cost. The cost and loss will also be huge to some NATO members. So they are not mad, idiotic and dumb like Putin. They are just waiting for the mad dog to go out of hand and use nukes and he will be taught the lesson of his life. Let him try first. 4 Likes 1 Share |

NigerianSage: Nobody is rubbishing Russia. Cuba& Venezuela for years defiled US&Allies with the help of Russia and nobody spoke about it. Recently it was Assad of Syria(Small Syria) messed up the whole of NATO. They failed wholefully in Syria, all because Russia came in and changed the game. This is the same thing NATO wants to do to Russia in Ukraine but Russia is the master of such game. It will only take time but their goals they are achieving silently as they keep NATO guessing what their goals are, this is the reason why Russia never gave out their timeline for the military operation in Ukraine instead the western media created one for themselves. 1 Like |

like1: Post in English language. And Argentina is currently attending the CSTO meeting in Russia as an observer. Apart from European slaves, a lot of countries don’t give a shit about the US anymore. ASEAN countries just called Biden’s bluff yesterday and told him they can’t condemn Russia. Countries in the Americans are threatening to boycott the US summit if Venezuela isn’t invited. India refused to condemn and sanction Russia. OPEC has refused to increase oil production if there’s an oil embargo on Russia. China keeps strengthening cooperation with Russia. Etc. LOL.

colonelwealth: You said Ethiopia, Sudan, and Algeria are Putin’s allies? Allies that can’t save themselves. Two days ago Ethiopia lost 7,000 people to Tigray. Ethiopian peacekeepers are fleeing to Sudan. Sudan and South Sudan are so low that they’ve accepted help from Buhari of all people. Algeria is tiptoeing around its recent problem with Morocco while trying to meet demands for its fuel. You keep mentioning Venezuela, a country that is in such shambles that it’s hungry citizens are fleeing and entering the Dominican Republic, another poor country, illegally because they consider it greener pastures. The rest of the countries you bring up as possible Russian chums are too silly to discuss. 5 Likes 4 Shares |
