So it’s now you know it’s a war crime but Putin can send ballistic missiles to apartment complexes in Kyiv and you’re happy as that is counted as a war gain Abi?
Where did I say I was happy?

Ukraine changed the head of their military 2 weeks ago. This new guy first struck an Iranian tanker, now he has sunk a Russian container vessel.

Russia has forgotten that during WW2, Nazi soldiers came within 100 miles of St. Petersburg which was the capital of the USSR. They were pushed back by Allied forces and reinforcements sent in from Kyiv which was under the USSR as at then.

The funny thing is that 2 years ago, Putin begged North Korea to send him troops. Those ones came in and Ukrainian soldiers slaughtered them massively. They didn't last 3 months in the battlefield.

I wish Putin luck as he's fighting those who have lost all and are ready to lose more.
Just to be clear, during the second world war, it was not allied forces that repelled the Nazi attack on Leningrad (now st Petersburg.) But the Soviet forces

Secondly 2years ago, what you termed "begging" was actually a transactional mutual defense pact reached by both countries. Countries including the US, continue to sign defense pact everyday. This is not weakness but strategy.

And lastly I must point out to you that it is very difficult to ascertain exact number of casualties, but the mood indicates that Ukraine is loosing.

We must learn to remain factual and say what we truly are certain of, while also suing for peace as war is never the best option.

Stop comparing American movies to real war. You know nothing about war. In war there is bound to be casualties on both sides

Russia hands Ukraine 1,000 war dead in exchange for 41 dead Russian. Mind you, the entirety of NATO is fighting alongside Ukraine
Essentially Russia is fighting the whole of NATO which includes the US and giving them a serous beating

That's obviously not a military target and against the laws of armed conflict. If Russia or Iran had struck a soft target like this the world would have known no peace by now.


What is right is right and what is wrong is wrong not only when it favors anyone. I hate the hypocrisy of the world... it stinks.

what's this one saying? International what? Where was international law when Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked, occupied, and illegally claimed parts of Ukraine through military force, starting with the seizure of Crimea in 2014 and escalating into a full-scale invasion in February 2022 that targeted regions like Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia.

Don't lecture anyone about international law!

Whataboutism. undecided

Pointing to Russia's illegal invasion doesn't answer whether another action complies with international law.



Russia's alleged violations of international law don't make every other violation lawful.



International law isn't applied on an "if they did it, we can too" basis. If Russia's invasion of Ukraine was illegal and I believe it was not that principle should be applied consistently to everyone friend or foe.



I will lecture as many people as I like that have the mind to listen about international law or whatever I want.


As I said what is right is right. So keep moving.

I just hope these childish, ego-driven wars don't spiral into a nuclear catastrophe as the so-called superpowers grow increasingly frustrated and humiliated. Conflicts they expected to be quick walkovers have instead become bones in their throats.

Now, to save face and protect the bruised egos of their leaders, they keep prolonging these wars, hoping their opponents will eventually roll over and surrender. Meanwhile, death, destruction, and untold suffering continue to spread.

Even countries with no stake in these conflicts are paying the price through economic hardship, disrupted trade, inflation, and rising insecurity.

Two reckless leaders, while the rest of the world bears the consequences. 😡

This war no winner and no losser. Russia and Ukraine are both destroying their countries. But putin make a very big mistake of underestimating zinalesky. Now Russia has turned Ukraine to a powerful bitter enemy at your border. The way Ukraine is investing in weapons that there project ending this year there will produce their ballistic missile and next year dey will be able to intercept ballistic missiles.i think the person that advise putin never forseen this things and putin can't back off from the war because the moment he backoff everyone will take his as a weaking and zenlisky can't give their land to Russia because the moment he do that people in Ukraine will criticised him and say he would have given the land in the initial stage instead of wasting life and properties. The war is complicated and both parties can't back off

There are two types of deaths in conflict; direct and indirect deaths. The latter are mostly from destruction of infrastructures leading to spread of diseases due to lack of access to essential life saving amenities, just putting it out there grin

I understand your point but Russia and Ukraine situation is Northern Nigeria trying to bomb the shit out of Nigeria. These are ethnical similar people. You saw what Buhari did for his brother in Nigeria when he was in power. Putin should have used the same strategy to lure Ukraine. I think annexing Crimea left a sour taste in the mouth of the Ukrainians.

too much CNN will not allow people to see the truth. Putin did not make a big mistake. But am not here to argue. Hold on to your belief but stop saying what you don't know. After all you are all getting your news from western propaganda. Russia is using War of attrition or Fabian Strategy to decimate Ukraine. He is bleeding the country at a very slow rate, that's torture.

If your definition of international law entails sitting idly by and watch your enemy destroy you totally, all in the name of a useless law that couldn't protect or keep you safe, then it's over for you.

Russia and Ukraine are at war, in wars expect anything, it's about hurting your enemy, it's about crippling your enemy, it's about survival. Don't come here selling me crap about some Western wokeism, liberalism, leftist views and their useless international laws that protects no one.

Laws that are worse than no law!

I think that better describes the Trump/USA and Iran war. Trump wants an end to the conflict because “the so-called meat don choke am”, but the Islamic republic of Iran doesn’t.

But on the other hand, Russia are luckier because Ukraine wants the war to be over and are constantly asking for a ceasefire and negotiations, but Putin has refused to listen to anyone. If Russia calls for a ceasefire today, the attacks on both sides will be over instantly.

Ukrainians are reasonable, and just want peace.
