Well their investments in Ukraine is at risk.

It's like pouring water into a basket. Whatever investment they setup in Ukraine gets bombed by Russia the next day.

The mineral deal signed with Ukraine is basically useless because Russia took the mines the following week.

Plus their people are dying in Ukraine.

Whatever reason to end this war is acceptable to humanity, human lives should matter above riches and mineral deposits...trump is doing the right thing here ,message the ego of the war lord to see if he can stop killing his own relatives....what a shame.....putin is just insane...I believe Americans are not saints but America 🇺🇸 can invade Mexico 🇲🇽 over a rumour that Russia is trying to have a base in their own backyard....this war is not a show of force but a show of fear....
So with all that has happened, you still believe this war is a result of Ukraine wanting to join NATO. some of you people ehnn.. I do not know who does black men this We don't think at all.

JuanDeDios:
Lol. Mr Trump really doesn't understand Mr Putin. It's almost pathetic.

Putin's war isn't about rare earth minerals. It isn't about a few Ukrainian territories – Putin has enough land. Those who think it's about a "multipolar world" are also delusional. It's about bringing Ukraine (the whole of it) back under Russia's influence and shifting the global balance of power to Russia and its dictatorial allies.
How delusional can the black man be, you see an obvious reason for the fighting an you are still denying it obviously you want to feel right like you know it all. continue.

Wouldn't it be a shame if Nigeria waved war on Togo and we couldn't overrun it in Tree Full Years!?

Shameless Bully.
Putin should have faced China if they dare!
I know you're pained. The US should stick to fighting ragtag Houthis please.

The US have never in its history fought a country as large and powerful as Ukraine.

You should be ashamed.

Show me one instance where Russia has used immobile tanks.
You don't understand English in the morning? If a tank cannot fire while moving then it has to stop to fire, making it immobile.

You show me one instance Russian tanks outclassed US/European tanks in Ukraine.

Show us one Russian tank that exhibited that rubbish you just described up there.

Secondly you said Russian tanks are mothballed and outdated. Well those outdated tanks are currently obliterating the so called sophisticated US tanks in Ukraine.

If they aren't, how do you explain Ukraine losing more and more territories every day and also retreating.

Shouldn't they be advancing and winning over Russia with such powerful tanks?

War is not good at all.... Not even at a time when most countries have spent billions of dollars to develop their country making their country look beautiful and stylish and suddenly war and destruction comes and destroys everything they have spent years to build. Imagine all the beautiful stadiums in England today being destroyed as a result of World War3 I mean all those beautiful stadiums being destroyed by bombs etc. Just imagine. Even theaters, hospitals, schools, bank buildings, beautiful streets, beautiful homes just being bombed and destroyed by World War3.

America doesn't want that. England doesn't want that happening nor Japan or China. Or even German cities. USA is trying their best to avoid that.
And people are calling them all sorts of names up and down

Ukraine is Europe's second largest country after Russia. Thats many times the aize of Lagos.

Militarily, ukraine is like Lagos but not in terms of landmass.
Militarily, Ukraine should be ahead of Nigeria if I am not mistaking.

I didn't ask you to repeat your propaganda assertion. Show me where you saw that Russian tanks are besting US/European tanks in Ukraine.

If they are besting them as you said why are they bringing out 1970s tanks to put in the war?

You said the tanks are immobile, motionless. That is they don't move.

What I'm reading in the article is that they miss their target while they move. Which is quite normal for older tanks.

Russia has far newer tanks used on the battlefield that don't have that issue (T-90, T-80).

Have you ever fought with a pig, I bet you'd do everything to leave the mud after been dragged to it. Lives are been wasted everyday in that conflict. It's morally correct to ensure a ceasefire by every means possible. Russia would not back off unless he is given a consolation. That way the war which has claimed thousands of young Russian lives may seem justified.
Think young man as opposed to you rushing over to make your mention. Try it sometimes, it's rewarding

What?

Who told you that? Have you been following the news at all?

The red Sea is currently deserted. The Houthis No Sail zone order still stands. Just late last month they sank 2 ships passing the Red Sea.

That was after the so called peace deal with US.

Read up on it,it wasn't Russian tanks that was besting them. It was drones, antitank weapons and targeted artillery that took them out and that was because they were been used exactly the way a tank SHOULDN'T be used in modern warfare, as a stationary unit.

Meanwhile it still doesn't change the fact that Russia is bringing out old tanks to use.
