As the war continues to be unpopular, this guy just loves to seek global attention by force. The world has moved on already. It's putin who will be tired at last, for his continued killings. Only a mad person would be killing his innocent brothers and sisters for no just cause. A peace meeting was convened but you backed off. Na to dey seize ships now com remain. Putin and his boys have turned pirates lol.

His disgrace go pas nebucadnezar own.

Begin from your backyard: Nigeria has these materials in excess too. How far?

Estonia should not cry.
They started first and Russia responded.

The international system is a complex machine that pretends to run on rules, but actually runs on fragility and human stubbornness.
Justice without enforcement is like a beautiful theory that collapses under the slightest pressur. It might look good on paper but it fails in practice. Power keeps the game going, but it is never as reliable as those who wield it believe. Why?
Because every dominant player thinks their strength will last forever, until suddenly it doesn’t. Reciprocity is just the system’s way of keeping score. It's not fair nor moral. It's just a method to prevent total chaos. But the weak are not as weak as they seem, and the strong are never as strong as they think. Sooner or later, someone refuses to follow the script. That's what's at play here.

Human nature ensures that no system remains stable for long. The planners and strategists build their models, convinced they can predict outcomes, while history laughs at their arrogance. Real change sometimes comes from the overlooked actor who refuses to back down, the small player who turns asymmetry into advantage. This is because the most dangerous illusion is believing that power is permanent or that justice is anything more than what the powerful can enforce.

Yet somehow, against all logic, people keep fighting for fairness, keep resisting domination, keep surprising those who think they control the game. That’s the truth: systems break, but humanity adapts. The future belongs not to those who enforce order, but to those who survive disorder.

Nigeria is a member of OPEC and what and how much we sell is controlled. Russia sell at will and to whom she deem fit! Besides we don't go about hunting for troubles here and there.
They should rather work towards making more friends than enemies! The world is changing fast.

Obviously, you know nothing about the root cause of this war. You're just regurgitating jargon from MSM and Fox

They have seized Russian vessels several times but Russia hasn't responded once. I think Russia has had enough of the bullying.

Imagine tiny countries in the baltic including Finland who used to be friends and cool neighbor insulting and challenging Russia every day just because they were admitted into NATO. They've not learn anything from Ukraine misadventure. Their own would be worst off.
Russia dare not attack a NATO ally the way dy did to Ukraine. Even though Putin can be bold he won't dare. He can use indirect means to disturb them

The EU thinks they have the right to seize Russian vessels,but theirs can’t be touch,any EU ship that strays the Balkans will be seized.

Same way NATO dare not attack Russia.

Even though Russian jets and drones breaches NATO airspace every time, they don't dare shoot them down.

Both sides are afraid of each other but Russia is bolder.

Today’s incident shows that Russia continues to behave unpredictably,” Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said. “I have also informed our allies of the event,” he said, referring to other NATO members:


but these europeans don seize many Russian yatches and ships grin grin

The poorest country in the world, Afghanistan and the ragtag Houthis exposed the U.S.

The US fought them for 21 years and lost, disgraced out.
