You right. Also I don't even follow events. I no get such time. I just once in a while glance through.

I never keep track of my birthdays, let along follow events happening far away.

anyways You right. A lot of people started following last year. As for me, before this invasion, all I knew was that there's a country somewhere called Russia. I knew nothing more of them.

But you see eh, when I want to learn about something, I really look into it from multiple perspectives and angles

Yeah, you should do that. But nothing will ever justify invading another's territory in order to remove a democratically elected government.

Ukraine's treatment of Ethnic Russians was horrible.
And also, the removal of the ex President was done illegally because legislators from Donbass were sent packing.
Also, Ukraine banned Ethnic Russians from using their own language. That's insanity. No sane person would support such cultural genocide

Americans deserve better. Their politicians are setting their tax money on fire, deliberately.
Abeg, na your papa money dem dey set on fire?
Na you go post, na you go reply with the first 5 comments. Allow the offensive to take shape first. Ukraine lost 1 leopard 2 tank and some Bradley fighting vehicles And you have started masturbating on an offensive that is less than one week old.
You better don't give yourself high blood pressure cos the inevitable is the defeat of Russia.

First, learn the demographics of Ukraine.
Eastern part of Ukraine is owned by Ethnic Russians. They have been living there before Krushev, the Soviet Leader ceded their land to Ukraine as a birthday gift.
If Ukraine don't want them to speak their language on their own land, Ukraine should let them go and that's with their own land.
It is like saying Igbo people should not speak Igbo in Igboland.
How does it make sense?

God bless you

some people just hate usa because their religion or because usa is the top, i should not have people like my mindset as citizens of ukraine, we will fight till the last man die, you have kill my father, destroy my city and home, we go fight like zombie, usa is not holy we know but also know every man is evil all over the world, usa has never even fight this kind of war at least there is reason for their war(some reason no reach for war sha), liyba war na the country kuku bring then come something like that also happened in Nigeria during boko haram but Jonathan and lawmakers told usa not to come that we are capable but those one invite usa, Afghanistan na terrorists na them start the war with 9/11 but you have never see usa invade it land neighbor untop say dem one join one thing or the other


na jealousy won kill Russia, let them be like china, pursue economy first before military.

i kuku know usa plan, they dont mind spending all their money untop these war, their point is to see as many Russia soldiers as possible killed and weaken their economy, even usa know ukraine cant win

I wonder where the new found love for Russia by many Nigerians is coming from. If Russia was so good, won't all her neighbours want to parley with them? Yet some people sit in their toilet and blame faraway USA for this. The other day one US republican was quoted criticising US' move to finance Ukraine and you could see Putin fanboys running amok on the thread with their hailings. But two days ago, I saw in the news a popular Russian human right activist being prosecuted for criticizing Russia's move on Ukraine.

The presence of legislators from Donbass wouldn't have changed anything. There were over 320 members of parliament at the time of the impeachment out of a total of about 450 and every single person assented to it. That was purely democratic and an expression of the wish of the people. Russia had no right to topple it. There are Yorubas in Benin republic and Fulanis spread around Africa; Nigeria has no jurisdiction over them. So what Russia did was clearly meddlesome. Also, the ban on speaking ethnic Russian and Greek was only done after Crimea was annexed. I guess you should know why.
It was not democratic.
They needed ⅔ majority which is impossible except they suspend the legislators from Donbass.
Also, if Nigeria annex a part of Benin Republic that speaks Yoruba, does that mean other parts of Benin Republic that has Yoruba as their mother tongue will not be allowed to speak in Yoruba on their own land.
War is bad, but nobody will accept cultural genocide.
If ethnic Ukrainians don't want Russian language to be spoken in their country, they should create their own country made up of only ethnic Ukrainians and they will be justified.
They can't ban people from speaking their own mother tongue on land they have been living on even before Ukraine was created. That is madness

Now let me give a timeline of the Russian-Ukraine crisis because it appears a host of you are not informed.

In 2014, Ukraine was to enter into economic partnership with EU for their prosperity, and the legislature voted overwhelmingly in favour of this. At the last minute, Ukrainian President made a u-turn and opted for a deal with Russia which angered his people and triggered an uprising. After series of crackdown on the protesters, the legislature had to vote, and a vote of no confidence was cast on the President, hence he was impeached. This is a purely democratic process that saw every single member of the house present at that seating voting for his impeachment.

The now ex-president ran to his friend Putin, and Russia annexed Ukrainian territory, Crimea for itself. This triggered Ukraine and they saw they were no longer safe with their neighbour, hence started making frantic efforts to join NATO for their survival.

In 2022, Russia launched a "special military operation" in Ukraine, and their goal was to uproot the democratically elected government and install their stooge.

In the light of this knowledge, pray tell, when was Russia ever pursuing peace with Ukraine? You accuse others of listening to western propaganda whereas you are just blinded by your hate for a nation that got nothing on you.

You intentionally omitted the mass killing of ethnic Russians in Donbass.

You failed to mention Minsk Agreement that was suppose to settle the conflict.

The reality is worse pictures have been painted about Russia and Putin and it changed nothing rather it only fueled miscalculations and false expectations for those that innocently believe the narrative.

Russia is bad, lacks weapons, morale, training and are using shovel to fight, Ukraine is good, well trained by Nato ... just lamba that reality will handle.

The west did it in Sudan and heaven did not fall.
If Igbo people via their elected representatives want to secede, I will support them. If they will win is not however my own doing but they will have my moral support!

Did they not amass their troops for months at Ukraine's border?Most times I read your comments, and I am amazed at the gullible followers of yours who like your anti western posts. You think you made sense in your submission, but only those who know nothing about international diplomacy or relations would think your warped submission is credible. Your posts are not only unbalanced, but are laced with errors and hipocrisy seen in your past attempts to defend the indefensible. I doubt if you will understand the trash you posted up there.

Over 70% of the members of parliament assented to it, that is two-thirds. Ukraine banning Russian language is inconsequential in this fight and only a reaction to the annexation or their territory.

All of these are consequences. The Minsk agreement would not be in the the first place had Russia not annexed Crimea. Russia pulled the first provocative act which has resulted in endless fightings.

You are launching a counter offensive starting on your own land.

That's defeat bro.


You guys comment on any topic even when you know next to nothing in military warfare history. On November 19-23 1942, the Soviet red army launched Operation Uranus Near Stalingrad (now Volgograd) resulting in Soviet Encirclement of the German 6th Army and 4th Panzer Army. The counter attack started inside the same Soviet Union! There is nothing wrong in counter attacking from your own territory. The counter attack eventually saw the red army fighting all the way to Berlin and finally leading to the defeat of the Nazis.

Billions of dollar US taxpayers money on fire, yet again. Another billion dollar worth of Military equipment in smoke.

Why won't the counter-offensive flop? How can you want to start a counter-offensive in a brutal war like this, and be advertising it. The western propaganda media advertised and over-hyped it like it is some kinda upcoming festival. Ukraine defense even released a movie-trailer and teaser on it.

They all think this is a joke. A soap-opera.

What do you expect? When the President is a comedian.
He’s just allowing US, & west to use his country to test Russia Strength in war Front.
