Nobody EVER said that.

Bring one single post of a Russian official saying that. Just one.

You're projecting the US image on Russia guy. In the entire world, it is only the US that likes to overrate their military power and act like they're untouchable. Thanks to Hollywood and social media.

The US fought a ragtag barefooted Taliban in Afghanistan for 20 years and lost by the way.

Afghanistan was the poorest country in the world.
Stop saying all this nonesense lies always circulating on Arab media space. US did not lose. They won and handed the country to Afghanistan. US left Afghanistan and the taliban collected leadership from corrupt Afghanistan government. How did US lost? US that killed morethan half the population of the Talibans

"Small Ukraine" that is the largest country in Europe after Russia?

"Small Ukraine" that has the largest Army in Europe after Russia? Larger than France and Germany combined at one point. Until Russia grinded them down.

Small Ukraine that has received a military supplies of $450 billion. Bigger than the GDP of many countries?

Small Ukraine that is receiving the full force and support of US and 40 other countries?

If Ukraine is small then what is Afghanistan?

Your America fought those goat herders for 20 years and lost.

Russia is in a war, it's understandable. The power was restored almost immediately. What is the US excuse?

Is the US different from Nigeria where small wind can plunge the whole country in darkness??
But you and other pootin bots said russia would overrun Ukraine in two weeks. What happened?? grin

The migrant crisis in Libya and the Nigeria experience

The drive for survival and for greener pastures has continued to force millions of West African young men and women to gamble with death in attempts to cross over to Europe and other parts of the world. This quest to escape poverty, hunger, unemployment and insecurity, among other reasons, caused a major segment of Nigeria’s population to seek alternatives for better livelihood prospects for themselves and their families.

Those seeking economic survival see irregular migration as the best alternative, given the difficulty and resources involved in migrating through regular and legitimate routes. In many instances, very few of the original number who set out on these dangerous journeys live to tell their stories. While many regularly drown in the Mediterranean Sea, many also die in the deserts, and others are sold as slaves in a modern slave market.

Most of the victims of this trade are from West Africa. Many of them leave home with expectations of getting to Europe and other destinations perceived to have better economic prospects for them, but they end up in the slave merchant nets in North Africa. The victims are put in camps and sold in open markets in Libya, while the international community watches in silence. The geographical location of Libya renders it a transit route for migrants journeying to Italy and many other parts of Europe.

Black Americans are targeted. Notice how winter storm (or more accurately, power outages) always seems to occur in areas with large black populations. America is enemy territory for black people and I pray to the gods of our people to keep our black people safe.

So the poorest country in Europe is poorer than the poorest country in the world? Dunce. Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe but still richer than Nigeria.

The same country received $450 billion worth of weapons and funding to fight Russia on NATO's behalf.

Name one country in Africa with a bigger GDP than what Ukraine received?

Did Afghanistan receive any military or economic support like Ukraine? Infact it was the reverse. The US received military and economic support from all 32 NATO members.

They all sent thousands of troops help the US fight the poorest country in the world. They also spent $4 trillion and 20 years and still lost to the barefooted goat herders.

All NATO resources have been poured into Ukraine to help them defeat Russia. NATO leaders have said it themselves.

Today Ukraine have more foreign soldiers fighting as mercenaries than actual Ukranians. Poland and US have sent over 40,000 troops in total.


All NATO countries have sent thousands of troops to Ukraine. Both Japan, South Korea, Colombia, Australia, Mexico and even from Africa. There are hundreds of websites where anyone from anywhere can sign up and join Ukranian army. Look it up.

Imagine being backed by the US and 40 other countries and still losing lands as big as the United Kingdom to Russia that is under 35,000 sanctions.

Is that not a big shame for the paper tiger alliance? One single country sending shivers down the spine of 32 whole ass countries.

We're waiting for you to show us one single proof of any Russian official saying the war would last only 4 weeks. That rumor was spread by US propagandist such as yourself, to make yourself feel better.

A US general Mark Miley is the only living person to have said that. No one else..
