Well said....people painting Russia as the victim is laughable. The US isn't innocent/perfect sure, no country is. But we're talking about a "man" who was behind the shooting down of a full passenger plane, killing 300 innocent civilians. A "man" whose political opponents meet untimely deaths both in Russia and overseas...anyone remember Livitneko who was poisoned and killed in a UK hospital in 2006....and attempted murders of other russian nationals a few years ago in Salisbury....on and on it goes, but somehow he's the aggrieved party undecided....it's true that some people love a dictator
Where did you get this ? I thought it has been established that the passenger plane was brought down by Ukrainian separatist?

This is not propaganda.

Even days to the invasion, Putin was openly denying it and claiming it was just a training exercise on the borders of Ukraine, so putin denying they will invade Poland is not evidence they would not if they have the chance.

Totally off point. No bearing to the context of the discuss!!! Bad habit to jump to the middle of a discuss and dump words.

...whatever tickles your pickle.

Thank you for schooling them. The one that annoyed me most was the coward Putin displayed in the days and months before the invasion. He vehemently denied plans to invade Ukraine despite positioning his forces in Belarus and all around Ukraine borders. Lavrov even called US war monger when US was sharing Putin's plan publicly. I was even fooled myself cos I believed Russia denial of plans to invade Ukraine cos it doesn't make sense. Ukraine didn't attack Russia so why will Russia invade so I thought.
Zelensky was also fooled cos I remember him telling the US to tone it down believing Russia won't do such. I guess Zelensky didn't believe until it happened
If Putin had made his intentions clear, probably west would have prepared Ukraine militarily ahead of time, Ukraine wouldn't be in this mess now.
Russia took months to plan and execute an invasion of her neighbor but somehow they are victims not agressors
How long has the special military operation been ongoing ? How much time does the west need to prepare Ukraine militarily against a superpower? Wait for 10years hopefully Ukraine will be prepared then grin

zahra wey dey always dey on point! 😁

I was gonna respond on the shooting down of a passenger plane comment, but I realised I need to read more on the incident. I only know both the Soviet Union and the US shot down fully loaded passenger planes in 1983 and 1988 respectively. I also know that unlike Russia, the USA has been at the forefront of instigating crisis in several countries to further their own interests in the last 30 years. Talk about murdering millions not even due to direct confrontation/provocation o but under claims of a search for weapons of mass destruction only to find none. That def is far more cold than shooting down ten Boeing aircrafts.

All those poland, Finland no interest Russia, Ukraine is historically and strategically relevent to Russia, and to the WEST/US cos of its 'valuable resources'. Let the North Atlantic respect the East. The east isn't the one encroaching and encircling the west, the west is the one doing all that....to what end??

Missing the context, again, EMOTIONALLY!

Someone here called Russia a bully, and hoping that Ukraine wins the war that is being instigated, funded, planned, strategized and executed by the US via the clownish puppet of a president, Zelensky! I have already established who the bully and aggressor is. QED

Russia is doing to Ukraine exactly what the US strongly wanted to do to Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, where Cuba hosted USSR nuclear armed missiles. Any World power would do exactly what Russia is doing. China would do it to Taiwan, it's just a matter of time. When that happens, you all would come out after listening and watching the western mainstream media propaganda and call China a bully nation.

By the way, Russia didn't shoot down that passenger plane, that was Ukraine. Get your fact right.

Do you want us to talk genocide? The US is notorious for a significant amount of human right violations, civilian casualties, genocide, just name it!!! There are receipts for these. Go and read 'Inside The CIA', also read the leaks from Wikileak's Julian Assange (who is currently incarcerated here in the UK and awaiting extradition to the US), and the expose from Edward Snowden and the list goes on... Read and be informed so as not to always respond to things emotionally.

Let me ask you, how many serving presidents of foreign nations have the US assassinated?

Hi guys, I know this is UK. please a close friend of mine was recently denied of his Irish spousal visa. The Visa Officer said he did not establish concrete evidence of relationship with his spouse in Ireland before applying for the visa.
He put his marriage pictures and some outing pictures in the application yet was denied.

What can he do to help his appeal to be successful?

Apologies, he included marriage certificate with pictures from the traditional, reception and court wedding. He also included chat history from when they were dating till after marriage, he also included the wife’s travel ticket when she visited Nigeria and pictures they both took. They have been married for 2 years now. They dated before she travelled but broke up and came back again.

No the applicant isn’t blacklisted as this is his first visa application to any country. The rejection reason was insufficient evidence to establish relationship prior to application. He ticked all boxes as no other rejection reason was given

It is you that should think without bias. If you are rational, you should have known that Putin and Russia are no saints, they are as bad as the US and west. You should have known that Russia is also seeking to dominate like the US. You should have known that Russia is also looking out for it's own selfish interest like all world powers do.

Every bad thing you have against the west is also applicable to Russia. US and its allies invade countries for their selfish interests, Russia does the same. Since 2000, US has invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, Russia has invaded Georgia and Ukraine. Russia has been sponsoring breakaway rebels in Georgia, Maldova, Ukraine etc to declare kangaroo independence yet Putin is your Angel and you wipe away his sins.

All world powers are bad players. But at least in the west, no leader is "god", they can be challenged and removed by the people unlike your Angelic country Russia. In the west, Opposition is strong putting check on government to behave themselves. In the west, Oposition has power, media has power, legislators have power, courts have power, civil society have power the people have power, it is never a one man show.

Putin came to power in 1999 when Bill Clinton and Obasanjo was in power. He has succeeded in making Russia a one man country where he is "god". He has changed Russia constitution 3 times since 1999, the last one being last year to give himself another 12 years in power. Russians can't talk, if you talk, you chop poison, fall from high rise, rot in jail if you are lucky or your plane gets shot down.

Do you know how many Putin's opposition and critics Saint Putin and his gang have eliminated since 1999 by poisoning and throwing them down from high rise buildings?

Will you be happy if Nigeria adopt the Russian model? Tell yourself the truth for once.
As we speak, Russians can't call Ukraine war a war publicly, they passed a law criminalizing calling it war. Imagine a government making it a crime to judge for yourself how you see things. Russians no longer have independence of thought, they have to be told what and how to think by force because one man cannot afford to be criticized. I just hope this Saint Putin Russian model nonsense is not what you guys are wishing for Nigeria to become. God forbid!
By the way, I'll take Tinubu and Nigeria over Putin and Russia, you can put your money where your mouth is by relocating to Moscow and not living in the freedom loving west and still talking nonsense. Mtshewwwww

Side note: the west might just come back again and colonise Nigeria and Nigerians politicians would stupidly oblige.
