Mikasaobi:
Wow. This is really good, thank you. How do you think china will handle submarines? Chinese submarines are not comparable to USA and Russia submarines. Submarines might be the biggest threat.
In a total war, capacity beats technological supremacy within reason.
By the latter I mean like when the difference is within one or two generations.
Not guns versus bows and arrows. More like Panther versus Sherman.
Japan and Germany had the best equipment in WW2.
They just couldn't pump them out fast enough and Allied tech was good enough.

China will close the gap in technical terms during the war.
Folks have no idea how intense the Chinese get.
Competing with China in peacetime is a nightmare.
In wartime, when there's no such thing as IP protections and royalties, it'll be open season.

This is the list of AI stars that Zuckerberg poached for his superintelligence group.

Alexandr Wang | Nat Friedman | Trapit Bansal | Shuchao Bi | Huiwen Chang | Jack Rae | Joel Pobar | Ji Lin | Hongyu Ren | Johan Schalkwyk | Pei Sun | Jiahui Yu | Shengjia Zhao.

Any technological lead the US enjoys today is temporary.
In a total war with China, it'll only mean more casualties, and China will of course raise the degree of brutality.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told the EU's top diplomat on Wednesday that Beijing cannot afford to let Russia lose in Ukraine because it fears the US will then turn its attention to Beijing.

Wang, however, rejected accusations that China had provided material support for Russia's military actions, either financially or militarily, saying that if it had, the conflict would have ended long ago.

Thank you very much @soqmeov for helping me out. I hope he will comprehend it now.

Now let me make this point clear👉
The difference between our camp and yours is that, while ours have shortcomings, we know and acknowledge them, and ours don't go about preaching and imposing morals and ideals they don't adhere to.

Simple🥱
Thank you! I have never seen any of them criticize USA or Israel on this thread but what about us? We don't praise Iran's theocracy and we criticize them daily. We have placed Lord Putin on trial for treason. Our major concern is what happens at the international scene and right now, they're the lesser evil.

⚡Russia’s President Vladimir Putin told US counterpart Donald Trump that Moscow will not “give up” on its aims in Ukraine, while pledging it will also keep up a negotiating process on the conflict, the Kremlin said Thursday after a call between the leaders.

“Our president said that Russia will achieve the aims it set, that is to say the root causes that led to the current state of affairs,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters. “Russia will not give up on these aims.”

“He also spoke of the readiness of the Russian side to continue the negotiation process,” Ushakov added, saying the call lasted almost an hour.
A true leader

God bless putin God bless mother Russia

Putin noted in a conversation with Trump that Russia played a significant role in the formation of American statehood.
It only played the role because it wanted to curb British empire back then grin

It was the Patriot system.
They just inaugurated the first THAAD system in SA within the last two weeks.

By the way, Putin offered Saudi Arabia the S-400.
So I don't see how Russia would offer Saudi Arabia the S-400 but not Iran.

Which justification?? The IDF is conducting it's operations with the best of its ability to limit civilian casualties,until Hamas decides to fight in the open and not hide under tye cover of civilians, civilian casualties would almost certainly be a recurrent issue in Gaza


Keeping with the justification theme, Whats Russia justification for killing thousands of Ukrainians??
How many civilians have died in Russia Ukraine war of 4 years plus compared to Israel and hamas of 2 years by October?

I love this thread so much ❤️

So grateful to all Pro Russian supporters for keeping this thread alive and making it one of the best threads on Nairaland. We came, we saw and we conquered. 🥂 🎉

This thread will be 3 years old in December.

One day we're gonna celebrate it in a big way, when it's all over. Lots of stuffs will be given out.

I don't think y'all realize the reach of this thread. The number of foreigners reaching out to me concerning this thread is mind boggling.

The aim is to make it so big it appears on every search engine on everything related to the Ukraine war.

Hoaxen:
I already pointed out lies with Wikipedia links which you dismissed and started giving unverified conspiracy theories.
If you call the Gaza conflict a genocide, then you should also call Russia's killing of Ukrainian citizens a genocide.
Have you forgotten how you first sent me to the 1950s?
Then I showed you Russia's coups at that time too.

Yes! I said that you guys love modern day despots, because you guys often praise them and say that we should emulate them

Vladimir Putin:
The jailing and repression of political opponents
The intimidation and suppression of the free press
The lack of free and fair elections
Media censorship

Xi Jinping:
The persecution and killing of political opposition
Media Censorship
Mass surveillance
No religious freedom

Ali Hosseini Khamenei:
No freedom of speech
No free press
Killing of political prisoners
Media censorship

Kim Jong un:
Zero freedom of association
Zero freedom of speech
Zero freedom of the media
Zero freedom of religion
Inability to leave the state
Modern slavery
Torture
Labour camps etc

All these despots are your role models. You started the whataboutism by taking us back to the 1950s instead of focusing on the present.

Like I said, you are the one who took us to the cold war with that 1950s CIA act. If you can go all the way to the 1950s i can also go all the way to the 1940s.

By the way you are dodging the question: Why do you hate the west for something that every nation has done?
Why not hate the whole world equally?
When Russia and co do it, you justify it but when the West does it, you condemn them. That's hypocrisy!

We've already talked about this ICC stuff before.

Like I said "They ARE not tyrants" not "They WERE not tyrants".

You've already given us the reasons why you hate the west, and Russia, China, Iran and north Korea and every country is guilty of the exact same thing. So what is your reason for supporting Russia, China, Iran, North Korea etc?
Who killed kashiogi? Who are those still helping and supporting the killers of kashiogi?

They were interested in the S-400, but the US privately warned them.
They got the Patriot instead.

After the Houthi attacks, they renewed interest in the S-400.
The US then offered the THAAD to pacify them.

⚡Russia is reshaping global fertilizer supply—and BRICS and Africa are reaping the benefits

The Russian Association of Fertilizer Producers reports a 60% surge in fertilizer exports to BRICS over three years, reaching a record 21.5 million tons. BRICS countries now account for half of Russia’s fertilizer exports, with one in three tons of agrochemicals they import produced in Russia. This isn’t just commerce—it’s a strategic realignment challenging Western control over global food security.


PhosAgro, Russia’s leading fertilizer producer, directs nearly half its exports—4 million tons—to BRICS, including a record 2.3 million tons to Brazil in 2024 alone. In five years, the company doubled shipments and more than doubled its share of Brazil’s phosphate imports—from 9% to 23%. This shift signals a clear move away from Western-dominated markets toward strengthening ties with allied nations.

Exports to Africa have expanded more than sixfold since 2018, with deliveries growing by one-third in 2024 and continuing to rise by another one-third in the first half of 2025. Supported by a new advanced production facility in Volkhov, Russia is not just exporting fertilizer but investing in social infrastructure, exemplified by the DROZD program, which provides thousands of children free access to sports, education, and spiritual-patriotic upbringing.

The point that guy is trying to prove is shockingly flying right over your head and it's becoming quite embarrassing to watch.
His point is quite simple. You said the leaders of the 'free, democratic' West you support aren't tyrants, domestically? We might have different opinions, and honestly, I don't want to delve into that Rabbit hole. 😔
Now what about on the international stage? LOOOOL!!!



His points👉
-They sure do love gettin in bed with tyrants and despots... Your Saddam, MBS, and the cold war era Latin American brutal dictators(etc etc) are good examples. The ones you mentioned there are the ones who don't serve their interests as much as they want. Seriously, what's the difference between the system of government in Iran and the other US allied Middle East countries? 'Theocracy-absolute Monarchy ' riddled with horrible human rights record. The only difference is that Iran has strong head and wouldn't bulgegrin cheesy grin
So much for "democracy and human rights"? grin grin
And I do find the democratic vs authoritarian camp nonsense that y'all try to paint to be absolutely hilarious, like wtf!!!😂😂
-Mentioned the overthrow of government that doesn't bend to their tyrannical whims, whether it's Democratic or Authoritarian, hence his reference to the Iranian coup that overthrew Iran's first democracy,. The 'whataboutism' after that is shocking... LOL!
-ICC/HIA. It's fine if we assist them to prosecute war criminals in other countries we don't like, but if they act against us, or our ALLIES(signatory to the Rome statue or not) we will "invade the Hague", sanction and threaten it's prosecutor... If this doesn't reek of tyrannism to you..., boy!!! angry sad
-They bend/disregard international rules at will, and yap about one "rules based order"- whose rule?🤔🥴
And boy, do I need to dive extensively into this? undecided

Now let me make this point clear👉

Come off it he knows exactly what the guy is saying but that's what they all do. They'll rather di.e than admit the USA or Israel is wrong in anything. That's the difference between us and them. We say the truth when the truth needs to be said but they can never do that, instead they will employ the whataboutism tactics.

I'm not sure what he was expecting.

Syria and Iran in one year.
Even Azerbaijan and Armenia are acting funny.

Ukraine is not a can Putin can kick down the road.
It'll have to resolved by hook or crook.

I'm half hoping he drops the mask and tacks on new sanctions plus increase weapon shipments.

We are not asking about numbers here, Ukraine just like iran possess a conventional army with military targets and a defind battlefield theater, Hamas doesn't have hence the causalities is on the high side in Gaza

How many civilians have died is not the issue, is Russia killing civilians in Ukraine yes or no?? And what justifies Russia motives for the thousands of Ukrainian lives lost??
