And that's exactly why Russia INVADED the territory of Ukraine a sovereign entity.🧐
Ukraine wants to join military alliance against Russia, Ukraine is different from the Scandinavian countries before you start mentioning them.

If "small" Ukraine that is living on the generosity of other nations could be doing this to Russia, just imagine how it will be when Russia is facing America and other nations shocked shocked. I have concluded that without nuclear weapons, Russia can't fight a fly angry
Hope you have understanding.
USA was in Afghanistan for 20 but got defeated by Taliban.

What Ukraine is doing is the highest USA can do.

I agree with you.

American is the only super power that doesn't threaten it's enemies with nukes. They'll fly soldiers to your country and fight you.

Putin on the other hand immediately begins to bark about using nukes once he feels threatened.
Russia is the most powerful nuclear country in the world, they always remind the West.

The US is the only country in the world that have used nuclear weapon on another country twice.

They used nuke when they were about to lost the war.

If the US fight a country like Russia or China, then know that the battle will be brought to US' mainland. This is not 1945.

Nukes will rain on the US from space.

ukraine never intends to conquer russia. They know is impossible. But they are already achieving their goals by hitting the airbase and possible cut off russia gas supply station and other important facilities in Kursk.
To what end then? What's the noble goal of war if not to conquer and occupy? Just accept the fact that Zelensky is just fighting a television war and sacrificing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian lives for his own personal and political goals...you know you can never militarily defeat Russia...then why sacrifice Ukrainian lives for a mission impossible?
Worse part is that Zelensky campaigned with the message to make peace with Russia... then when he was massively voted in to do just that...The US and the West came with their Billions and he forgot his campaign promises and started dancing to their tune at the expense of Ukrainian lives! That's just my own anger!
Shalom!

Ukraine have been part of Russia until 2014, you can't just take Russian territory or Russian speaking people to join alliance against Russia.

Russia is the most powerful nuclear country in the world, they always remind the West.
Lol... try to read up and be updated it won't cost you anything to do so. The US and Russia both have above 5k nukes. Russia has about 500 more than the US, but the US has more active nukes than Russia. This explains why the US has the highest defence budget in the world. And Russia doesn't even make top 5.

AnyanwuSK:
The US is the only country in the world that have used nuclear weapon on another country twice.

They used nuke when they were about to lost the war.
Yes, the US used nuke on 2 Japanese cities in WW2. And mind you, they weren't loosing the war. Japan ran out of plans and employed the kamakazi suicide bombers to hit American ships. In fact most of Japan's major beaches like Okinawa had fallen to the US.

The issue of nukes came when the white House told the president to end the war at all cost. They weren't loosing.

AnyanwuSK:

Are you aware that the US is protected by 2 oceans. The Pacific and the Atlantic.

So how do you expect enemy forces to land troops on their mainland when they (The US) has one of the best naval fleet in the world?

Secondly if Russia wanted to attack the US they would have done it during the cold war when they were still Soviet Union and all powerful. But they themselves exercised caution then cos they knew the implications of an offensive against the US.

If you're talking about China raining nukes from the sky, China has just 500 nukes while the US has above 5k. So do the maths and tell me who would experience a rainstorm of nukes

Also China cannot and would not attack the US cos they're more like trading partners. China is the US biggest market. They might have some squabbles here and there but it wouldn't escalate into an armed conflict. Cos China has so much investment in the US that it wouldn't want to see go down the drain.

Besides China has over 10m of it's citizens living in the US. So how do you expect them to attack the US? They're not Africans who don't think before the act.

NATO was going to expand next door to Russia and there was already a signed agreement that Ukraine will never join NATO. NATO and Ukraine broke the agreement hence the invasion by Russia to prevent that. Imagine America hosting nuclear weapons next to your country, or imagine Israel next door to you.
NATO has already surrounded Russia pretty much.

Finland and Poland are NATO countries. Why didn't Russia attack them when they joined NATO?

Putin has a vested interest in Ukraine and it's very obvious he wants to annex Ukraine and using this NATO nonsense as a convenient excuse.

ariesbull:
you don't know the history ...my dear! It was weather and environment ...Yiu people will just come online and talk as if you guys are knowledgeable...Soviet didn't bother defending Moscow much it was the weather ...that did that for them and did it well

As winter went on, the Soviet troops kept going further and further back into their Siberian territory, drawing the Germans further away from their supplies, leading to many deaths and turned into what would be the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany

Then Soviet forces launched a counteroffensive against the Germans arrayed at Stalingrad in mid-November 1942. They quickly encircled an entire German army, more than 220,000 soldiers. In February 1943, after months of fierce fighting and heavy casualties, the surviving German forces—only about 91,000 soldiers
it's like comprehension is a massive problem in this nairaland. Did Russia not counterattack Germany after the failure of operation Barbarossa? Yes or no? Who liberated most of the death/ concentration camps? Who who conquered Berlin forcing Hitler to kill himself? It was the Soviet Red army that did all that! They countered Germany after immediately after German assault failed! Russia didn't just stop at regaining their territory, they pushed into German occupied territories like Poland and Hungary until they reached Berlin and took it! That's a counter attack since you don't know what that word means.

Do you think you know the history of ww2 more than I do?

The funny thing is that even in your copy paste comment clearly says that Russia launched a counter offensive on the Germans. I don't think you understand what you're even saying.

Let me ask you some questions:

1. What happened in Operation Bagration?

2. By January 1944 who were in control of the Eastern front?

3. Why did Hitler kill himself on 30 may 1945

Answer these questions and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about

Even if the Russians eventually win this war,their military reputation will never recover from this embarrassment. Previously,the Russian army was considered the second best in the world.
Right now,the Russian army is the second best army in Russia.
The truth is that if Russia wins, then Russia will be seen as the most powerful country in the world, liberator of Europe,

USA will become a regional power as they will lose their influence.

The war is between UK and Russia.

It seems you are just talking based on bias. Did you know that Ukraine was afraid of Russia before the war began? Did you know that Ukraine lack sophisticated military hardware? If Ukraine can hold on till now, then, Russia is finished. Russia is powerless and Putin strategy has failed him. If not that America restricted Ukraine from striking inside Russia with their weapons, Russian would have turned to debris like Ukraine. Ukraine is using their own made drones to strike Russian facilities. Just imagine America allowed them strike Russia in the early days of the war.
At the bolded.

Oh America is a good country, full of mercy, the US is Godsent to deliver Russia from the hands of Ukrainians.

This is Russia propaganda to invade Ukraine. The actual problem was never that Ukraine wanted to join NATO. Some regions in Ukraine, particularly, Russian speaking parts (4region- luansk, zaporizhia, Kharkiv, and one like that) wanted to break away from Ukraine which Ukraine didn't allow them. Putin decided to invade Ukraine so he can return these regions to Russia.
What will Russia do now that Finland and Sweden have joined NATO. Russia only used NATO to invade Ukraine.
Why don't you just say how things happened?

Why did Russian speaking Ukrainians want to leave? At least you should have told us their reasons instead of twisting it. Ukraine is not like the Scandinavian countries, Ukraine and Russian are brothers, you can't compare their relationship with that of Finland or Sweden. Ukraine joining NATO is an existential threat to Russia. It's not about propaganda, unless you don't know how the history of Europe.

The Russian Ukrainian problem started in early 2014 when the president that was pro Russia was impeached through legally or illegally process. I don't know.

As you can see, Ukraine was part of Russian empire, that's, it's under Russia's sphere of influence.

Ukraine just switched from the Russia's sphere of influence to that of the UK/US

That change of regime is a major shift in geopolitics of Europe,

Russia didn't recognize the change of government and see it as coup orchestrated by the UK/US.

The indigenous Russians were against it the change of govt, so Ukraine started having internal problem.

The indigenous Russian speaking Ukrainians no longer want to be with Ukraine as Ukraine will form alliance with the West in future against Russia, then Russia started backing them.

The then Germany prime minister tried to bring peace but it didn't work(MINSK AGREEMENT), Russia try to negotiate with the West on Ukraine it didn't work, this conflict is inevitable
UK had taken side already, they were discussing peace while arming Ukraine. Russia then annex Crimea.

Russia want Ukraine to be neutral and not to join alliance with the West.

After 7yrs Russia and the West failed to reach a peace agreement. Then Russia started a Special Military Operation(SMO) in Ukraine.

Russia warned that the operation will only last long if the West interfere. Ukraine is standing today because of that interference.

It's a proxy war between Russia and the West,
The war will keep escalating.

Zelensky openly said Ukraine will join NATO.

They should negotiate, we all want Freedom.

It is similar to the problem in Nigeria- igbo too. If these regions wanted to create a country I would have supported them, but their agenda was to return to Russia which is a capital No for me because there was already an agreement with defunct USSR concerning what should be Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine lost so many things to Russia during the defunct USSR.
It's not similar to what's happening in Nigeria.

See wetin you dey talk, these guys were Russians even before the Soviet Union. you want the indigenous Russians to be forced into alliance with the West, alliance that will be against Russia?

Those things Ukraine lose you didn't mention, they got it through Russia.

How does a country lose nuclear weapon to another? It doesn't make sense. You're ignorant.


Actually, the nuclear weapon belongs to Russia and not Ukraine, it was Russia that installed it in Ukraine, the command to use that nuclear weapon only come from Kremlin Russia.

Tomorrow if Russia install nclear weapons in Belarus and withdraw it, you will be saying Belarus lose nuclear weapons to Russia.
