No matter how you try to paint it, it won’t change the perception of the world.

Everyone knows now that Russia is overhyped.

Nigeria would have leveled a next door Togo if need be, in a matter of months.

And imagine an overhyped Russia still struggling with Ukraine after one year.

US struggled with Japan too. It struggled with ragtag Communist militias in Vietnam and was defeated. Struggled with Korea and China during the Korean war and it was defeated ending the Korean war with stalemate despite the use of its vast airpower.

Same US Struggled against goat herders in Afghanistan and fled overnight to the shock of the world. War is no joke but Russia has done excellently well with its war against 32 member NATO bloc arming Ukraine to the teeth. Even a military strategist understand what is going on here. Now that Bakhmut has fallen let's see the next billions US and NATO are ready to pour again.

Soldiers die in war, my friend. That is why it is called battle. It is not where kids play in sand.

Bakhmut is insignificant and of no strategic gain to Russia. But they needed the win to PEPPER the west. This isnt just a win. It is more like flushing 'Billions of dollar' invested by US, UK and the rest of war-mongers, down the toilet.

This is not just the slippers wearing, Ak-47 wielding untrained fighters US bullied in Afghanistan. We are talking Ukrainian army, the second most trained army in the world, armed with weapons, military intelligence, secret fighters from almost 24 countries. Guess what, they lost to a single Mercenary troop.

Money wasted and Confidence level reduced to -0.344.

Whatever u saying, Russian under Putin will never be forgotten as a dictator who initiated an unprovoked war that caused millions of death just to taunt other world leaders

The funny part is this war is that Ukraine is planning offensive to take back thier lands back. This war still long.

The sad part about this write up is, Ukraine is actually dumb enough to try another offensive when the Russians have already dugged & waiting for them with hundreds of thousands of soldiers...

The west has some much interest in Ukraine, so the end of the war is still far, except Russia withdraw. Ukraine offensive will happen, it just a matter of time. Take it or leave it. Except Trump wins.

Don’t mind them!

Russia has lost more soldiers in one year than US did in Afghanistan for 13 years

Very wack, lame and overhyped military.

Just one year of war and it has already started drafting civilians and prisoners 😂😂😄
if 24 nations have supplied the Talibans more weapons and aid just like how USA and NATO are aiding Ukraine do you think USA would have lasted 3 years in Afghanistan??

Or probably if at least 10 European and America nations came to the aid of the Biafrans do you think Nigeria would have the war

Make una shift abeg or do you think it is only Ukraine Russia is fighting

Control that area by Russia means that can now spread out as that city is located in a very important area.

Stop giving lame excuses for a failed nation. Alliances are valid in warfare. Stop using that as an excuse for failure.

So sorry. The Comedian President of Ukraine 🇺🇦 subjected his country to destruction through his quest for European Union and NATO membership for Ukraine.
He never knew that he was giving the Allied forces in NATO a final opportunity to destroy the last traces of communism in Europe, as well as destroy any dreams of Russians for a future reenactment of the defunct Soviet Union.

This was how Gowon captured the southeast after Ojukwu dressed like a woman and ran away to Ivory Coast.
Biafra, a country not backed by a single power fought Nigeria that was backed by UK and their allies, and Soviet Union and their allies, for three years. Something Iraq and Ukraine backed by the entire west couldn't achieve. If Nigeria should fight another civil war without foreign support, Biafra will put her to rout in months.

Bakhmut went down, just like Mariupol city. The hardest and brutal way possible, so bloody that it only exist in horror movies.

Zelensky, aided by the western media propaganda were covering up the daily loses there just like Mariupol. They never admitted to the ongoing slaughter of the Ukranian forces daily. Instead they covered it up for cheap chestbeating in the media. They kept sending the soldiers to their death.

Bllions of dollar worth of military equipment, aid, assistance from US, UK and other war-mongers ,flushed down the drain. Even the medicore overhyped Patrotiic-missile system couldn't save anyone. No wonder US backed-Ta!wan President stated it clearly yesterday, that they will never go to war with Ch!na no matter what. Everybody is finally seeing the reality in Ukraine. If US succeed in pushing anyone to war with its neighbour. They are on their own.

Another fascinating thing is that Zelensky is currently on world tour presently, from Arab nation to G7 Nations; begging for more weapons. More billions of dollar to waste, more lives of innocent soldiers to sacrifice just to please his puppeteer.


This isnt just a win for Russia. It is a win for world peace.


Wishful thinking. Don't you wish your tyrant in the Kremlin finally has something he can celebrate?. And, on a day when progressive minds gathered in Tokyo to chart a way forward for world peace and progress.

Glowing about what is clearly propaganda and outright falsehood continues to show that all we have ever read from the camp of the drug dealer election stealer is just that: falsehood.

Bakhmut is still standing, with a fierce battle raging. In fact, Ukrainian forces are re-staging in the area as we speak, and the surge is ongoing. Your gravest mistake is that you are yet to realize the caliber of some people you engage on this platform. Everyone is not an internet subscription-seeking Ketu resident. Some are really in the middle of what you guys elect to lie about. But, how would you know?.

So, listen, there's only one viable world power today. Yes, that is the United States of America. And as much as you and your ideological friends may wish it to be otherwise, this potent fighting system is not about to diminish or be overrun anytime in the foreseeable future by a near-bankrupt, antiquated, and if I may add, demoralized Russian military or whatever is left of it.

If Vladimir has any shame or self-worth left in him, he would've done the honorable thing and committed suicide, like Adolf Hitler did, to save what is still left of his unsavory life.

If you cannot defeat an ill-prepared Ukraine in a war they did not see coming, and with all the missile stockpile and allied firepower presumably in your possession, then Russia can only be described as a spent force. Period.

This is what we've always known, and this is the reason we are fuc**** with them, and in fact, called their bluff. Take this away tonight. When this Russian show of shame lays to rest, even you will not recognize the shadow that becomes the former world energy powerhouse. We now have contingency plans to receive a massive influx of Russian economic refugees into the West. It's only a question of when.

So folks, be confident in the knowledge that those who prop up this APC fraud are a bunch of unrepentant, right-wing pretending corruption apologists who in all honesty do not believe in anything, no ideology, but united in their gifting of our already depleted commonwealth.

Bakhmut is a significant place I think. Ukrainian soldiers hinted earlier that taking Bakhmut will give Russian army and upper hand in terms of offensive attacks. Me no kuku like this war even though I be Putin man... the destruction is too much abeg...
