Look at ur flawed analogy. U think russia wants to steal from ukraine how? They already have more lands, resouses and wealth. This invasion was strictly about National security. Same way the US operated against Cuba.
If that is true. why did they annex Cremia in 2014?

Was it because they loved Ukraine?

Was Russia planning of returning Cremia to Ukraine after they annexed the useless good for nothing Cremia?

The problem with African wars is that it is usually pointless.
There are no ideals to arrive at/ from most.

Supremacy arguments just gets sparked by one reckless instant and pogrom starts. It can be quelled then another cycle starts again.

If you enter trenches where boys show more primitiveness, they all want to be a feared individual. If you're not quick to violence nobody will respect you. That's the problem Africa has.
We are obsessed with practicing violence even for nothing.
Again you walking into it. You so desperate to be disciples of the whites you will defend their course. Hitler had a rational reason. Roman empire had theirs. America had theirs with Vietnam, gulf, Iran Afghanistan. Am I judging it bad? No! It's there reason. It's what it is. Why then have one standard Africans different for the others. Call all wars bad and we can all go home. Am sure if Africans have this much wars on a regular they will be call primitive or barbarian.

Not an invasion but special operation in 1961/1962 when the Russia tried to give cuba nuclear weapons and form a milatry based in cuba.
Special operation? US troops entered Cuba in 1961/52? No, sir. You're making that up.

Let's help you small. Russia shares border with Ukraine. Russia cannot use nuclear on Ukraine without being in danger herself. So make this be the last time you talk nuclear against Ukraine. I know say you no too know but at least you don know this small one. Go and sin no more.

Ok. You should have advised Mr Putin to stop at arming Ukrainian rebels in the Donbass then. At least, that would have saved him the disgrace he's facing now.

Tell me, without beating about the Bush:
Do you think Ukraine doesn't need Cremia for her own national security ?

What happened to the National security of Ukraine as Cremia was annexed by Russia: Did it increase or decrease?


Do you think Ukraine does need For National security purposes and buffer zone Cremia?


Sincerely answer these three questions directly please!

So, what you are saying is that it is okay for Nigeria to annex Benin Republic just because she wants security!?

A strong man can invade the farm of his neighbour because he needs food!?


Isnt this terrorism!!?

Permit me to say those things you read are not pragmatic enough.

How do you think they test nuclear bombs? It's measured in circumference and it's toxicity.

And for a case study, we can only point towards Hiroshima and Nagasaki where United States of America used Atomic bombs on those cities which obliterated life there and few survivors suffered nuclear radiation or burns.

The Northern Russia issue was another blast that took effect and caused radiation in that area.

If Russia fires a nuclear missile into Ukraine, it'll harm Ukraine and Russia would prepare for the radiation fallout.

To you, Tinubu threatening a military intervention against the Niger Republic in 2023 after a military junta overthrew democratically elected President Mohamed Bazoum was the best thing that could have happened to Niger Republic!?
The Nigerian's should remain perpetually enslaved to France in the name of whose national security!?

Holding a mirror to your face calls for retrospection. Not squirming around dodging your own accountability.
Lol desciples of the white indeed.
Anyway what you need is education. But I can't fetch it for you. You need to go and read.
All those wars were fought for territories where resources are actually located.

Do you know the root cause of most tribal crisis here is just young men trying to bully the men from the other town. Case in point is offa-erinile crisis & that one in Delta some months ago. No sensible ideologies behind it.
Even our civil war could have been handled with better conflict resolution.
Generals were killed in a coup. Then northerners started killing innocent easterners who knew nothing. It escalated.

If you dont want the truth continue with the jargons.

Ps.
Let me give you an assignment right now. Explain the ongoing Sudan war to us.

Tests are conducted in controlled environments and with just enough nuclear material to not trigger massive fallouts.

If Putin goes nuclear against Ukraine, the options are either to use material quantities that are not enough to give him a decisive victory, yet drawing the ire of the nuclear powers of the world. No sane leader will think this a good option, apart from the terroristic Iranian regime that considers the killing of its people martyrdom. Which is why even their strongest allies- China and Russia- do not want a nuclear Iran.

Another option will be to use significant nuclear weapons for the victory they need. But the cost will make such victory pyrrhic. You can't safely predict the fallouts of a massive nuclear attack from such a proximity. Russian lives, community functionality and hence economy could be put at unacceptable risks. Also, there is the risk of fallouts breaching NATO borders.

If you consider these points you'll understand why Putin is very hesitant to push that button. It's not because he cares so much for the safety of the Ukrainians he's been killing for 4 years now.
Re: Russia Says At Least Seven Killed In Largest Ukrainian Attack Of 2026 by Qadaffi2idiamin: 12:38pm On Aug 18
Putin won't go nuclear on Ukraine.

But Europe will fill that if Kremlin let's it's nuclear armed subs sail into the Baltic underwater.

Putin is not a man of propaganda or many words. I have stated here recently that Putin is the last line between sanity and insanity.

The man stands between the axis of evil and the line of Uprightness. Don't forget how the red army dealt a major blow to fascists Europe which later called itself democracy and socialists Europe with its headquarters of unelected bureaucrats in Brussels.

Putin is fighting a Zelensky that went to American prisons and asked those Ukrainian mafians who were jailed for heinous crimes to form the disgraced Aszov battalion which fell largely in Mauripol.

You may not like the fact that Putin invaded Ukraine. But in the act of peace, you must go to war and that war gives you certain advantage when its fought far from you.

There are ethnic Russians in Ukraine and the reverse in Russia but Zelensky came in with marginalization and false motive which he fails to amplify to the media.

A nuclear weapon that can obliterate kyiv is currently sailing beneath the Baltic seas.

Europe knows this well, and they won't dare provoke Putin to such stand off with their army of transgenders.

You take one example you not even well acquainted with the history and make generalisation. Like you have lived the history enough of the place. All cause of human striving do not stray far from food( resource) territory or mating right. Other superficial reason are ethnic/ tribal national or religious causes. To make it particular to African alone shows you not even well ground in conflict resolutions. By the way it s sociology 101 very basic. Our human instinct at the base are apexly similar to animal. There are no ideology as you think. You are just giving them a rational spin. You making stuff up for them in other words.

You used it as an example to justify Putin's invasion of Ukraine with the excuse of National Security.

The question remains that EVERY Nation has it's National Security to protect (Russia, USA, France, Togo, Gambia or Ukraine). No country is more IMPORTANT than Another Nation even though some Nations could be more wealthy, more militarily strong, more technically strong than others.

Strong countries should maintain LAW and ORDER by preventing IMPERIALISM amongst Nations.

U will learn fast in international laws, politics and heirachy that all animals are not equal in the jungle. Even China claimed and expanded an island byforce to build a milatry base and ban fishing by its neighours in some areas.

No sir

Ukraine has learnt to survive by themselves. Ukraine is most likely becoming an arms exporter. Russia has managed to unite Ukraine so much now.

There is a likelihood of Russia falling into recession because they need to quickly rebuild their military assets. Putin should watch uis back because the Oligarchs behind him have lost so much financially that they wouldn't mind replacing him.

Now i think u are delusional and decieving urself. grin

Most of Ukraine is in rumbles now. Its like a desolate land, Almost half of ukraine have ran away to become refugees in other countries or joined with russia and u are here talking gibberish. Zelensky has gotten into a war he can never win and will most likely ruin his country b4 he realises what he has done.

Most of his soldiers have died just like russias and they are now forcing and kidnapping people to enlist that tells u people dont believe in the long and unending war that has destroyed their peaceful lives. Zelensky might regret ever listening to biden and toothless bulldog Nato.

And for the first time, Russian Oil refinaries are burning with endless queues. Wildberry's warehouses are on Fire and over 1.5 million casualties counting. Russian's are fleeing Cremia as we speak.

It doesn't dawn on you that it isnt a one way carnage. LOL!!

Don't just read Russian propaganda alone, at least balance where you take your news. People are dying on both sides daily.
