SenecaTheYonger:
They just designed theirs now after seeing Russia use it. How are you guys so brainwashed?

do you actually use your brain to reason or is it another organ?

How can they design a missile that Russia claimed to have used in March this year and it's ready to test in April?
Do you think this is a movie?

PS: The first hypersonic scramjet was developed by the US in the 19th Century. As of right now America has more hypersonic test tunnels than any other country

Pacesetter123:
But with all this breakthrough recorded by Zelensky/EU and NATO,they should be celebrating in the streets of Kiev and Washington.
But how come they are busy disturbing us here with the cries of casualties,war crime and bla bla bla like babies who missed road during Christmas festival in their village?

Nobody is disturbing you. Did they force you to read the news?
shebi when they were asking for diplomacy, one mad man thought invading a country is child's play because the Ukrainian forces didn't engage in 2014.
Now e dey find were to hide face.

BTW Washington doesn't need to celebrate anything, Ukraine isn't strategy whatsoever to its cause. Countries that are strategy to its cause are tie with a defense treaty. Ukraine wasn't so you can rest easy. This is Russia � Ukraine and so far one is doing a terrible job for a military that was hyped to be 2nd best for most of the 21st century

Pacesetter123:
The most funniest thing is that, after supplying all those ammunitions u r mentioning,they will still be the ones crying of genocide and destruction in Ukraine.
So they send those things as toys for play in Ukraine nursery schools?
Bunch of hypocrites.

Ukrainian calls it genocides. The ones arming the resistance calls if War crime. But are right depending on who you ask.

Russia celebrated T-14 has been destroyed by those toys
Their jewel in the sky Su-35 was destroyed by those toys
Their ka-52 was also downed by those toys.

They are toys yet Russia is the one retreating and begging Ukraine to recognize Crimea as a Russian region.
First time a "superior force" is begging for concessions.

They should be happy "The West" aren't interested in arming Ukraine with offensive weapons. By now they would have crossed into Russia and be heading to Moscow

Wanna be world power

ElijahIme1992:
Expelling of diplomats, how will dat solve the massacre going on in Ukraine... If EU know say Dem get two head make Dem Intervene see wetin go happen to Dem...

They can but they don't want to. Est 22 million people died in WW1, Est 65 million died in WW2.
To start WW3 over a country with no defense treaty is stupid and dumb. EU don't have those sort of leaders.

If Russia is all that as you seem to claim, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania border Russia too and they are all in NATO, Biden dared Putin to move an inch into those territory, I would love to see him try.

Uyi168:

jowhyte:
I don’t get it, why is Russia denying that the body bags is fake?

Why not own up as the power figure they are with their full chest that their invasion of Ukraine brought about the mass killing of armless civilians.

the people that lied that they weren't looking to invade Ukraine is the same people you want to own up to their crime?

Caseless:
If I was Zelensky, I'll make sure the war doesn't start in the first place. The west goaded him.

so you'd have become a Russian puppet?
Concede Crimea and Donbas to Russia and forsake the wishes of the citizens that voted you.

and yet you'll wonder why we keep electing bad leaders in Nigeria

Nova1988:
Last talk in Istanbul, turkey. Didn't amount to anything? Fear God bro.

Fear God bro doesn't counter the point, does it!?

Nova1988:
I could have sworn my life that you'll say this. Lol

Point of correction, if you've been following the war you'll know that after the last peace talks in turkey, Russia agreed with Ukraine to withdraw troops from the kyiv area and focus more on Eastern Ukraine. If you're going to ridicule the other side at least use facts and the truth.

Peace.

the last talks didn't amount to anything... Una go dey talk like say this Internet is exclusively yours only.

Truthwords:
If zelensky is a man, let him not agree to the deal Russia is presenting to them and see another escalation . So far Russia has just been playing warm up with Ukraine.

una talk pass this one before the invasion. I thought Kyiv was supposed to fall by now and there would have been a regime change.
I thought you guys said Russia tanks were the best in the world and they were technologically more advance than the US.

So far their tanks can't even withstand small javelin ATM. MANPADs are dropping their aircraft from the sky and 41 days after, they can't claim air superiority over a country with less than 1/3 of their aircrafts.

Zelensky will do what Zelensky thinks is best for Ukraine, if there terms don't suite him, he won't agree and there's nothing you can do about it

patrickcollins:
Japan, South Korea have the technology and resources to develop nuclear weapons, why can't they chose that option than allow technological inferior countries threaten them.

They US doesn't allow them to. They are protected under US nuclear umbrella.

South Korea were only recently allowed to build military weapons locally. They weren't before

shogsman:
How stupid are you really, ukraine asked for a retreat as part of Thier negotiation to show good faith, Russia agreed yet some slowpoke like you is wailing

them retreat abi them no retreat?

You guys and long talk.

Too bad, Nigeria should just give up and meet their demands to avoid bloodshed...

princeeze1:
Untrue words. The League of Nations and later the UN was actually created to mediate in affairs of nations. It’s aims were defeated because the US has no regards for the institution in pursuit of its foreign policy. A more recent case being the brushing aside of the UN Security Council to invade Iraq on bogus charges. Show me where the meddlesomeness has not led to bloodshed.
The imperialist nature of old empires you talk about is thesame thing the US is pursuing today using tools like NATO and the exportation of American style democracy.

just look at how hard you're trying to subvert the influence of America on international politics.

Like I said the world needs a leader and for all the countries that can stand up as one, the USA is the best we can hope for.

I mentioned clearly they had shortcomings yet you guys are only concern about focusing on that.
how about them liberating Kuwait from Iraqi forces, how about them making sure the communist North Korea didn't overrun the South.
How about their war against Terrorism. their stand against Human rights violations.
Their aids to European countries to rebuild after the WW2. Their ongoing aid across the globe.

Remove the US and China would have been running unchecked in the East. Russia could have subjugated Eastern Europe.
France would be going wild in Africa and so on and so forth.

You can't just focus on the bad like every other country in that position would be different.

The World Wars started because nobody was playing the Big Brother role. Imperialist ideas and fascism were allowed to run wild because everybody was minding their business.

princeeze1:
Good observation! Also ever wondered why every major conflict in the world has the US written over it? Wether it is open military confrontation, regime change, social uprising, insurgency/freedom fighting just name it. No matter how far from across the Atlantic it seems to be happening, the little fingers of the US is always somewhere lurking and playing devils advocate. From all major conflict since world war 2, look at the current political turmoil in Pakistan, the heavily divisive elections in Serbia and Hungary, how come the US is always mentioned? This will give you an idea of who is really destabilizing the world covertly or overtly. The world would be safer if the US stops interfering in sovereign affairs of other nations, and stop trying to divide nations into us or against us, stop trying to have sovereign governments subservient to US foreign policy and allow them chart courses that befits them more economically and politically.

yet humanity has experienced more peace on a grand scale since the US as you put keep middling in other people's affair than when people were allowed to chart their course.

No organization can survive without a leader. The world needs the US to be that leader even with its shortcomings.

To know where I am coming from, read about the imperialistic nature of Europeans countries, the Asian continents etc

kiddkash:
I wanna ask you a real question. do you really think if the plan to to level Ukraine, it won't be achieved in less that 2 hours. Honestly.

they want Ukraine to come to the negotiation table

the same table France, Germany and Britain begged Russia to come to and they refused?

is that the table they sacrificed thousands of their soldiers and military equipments just to get Ukraine to come to it?

The way you guys reason is very funny

Meister:
Everybody is now using iphone 13 pro max, wahala no dey finish

bro that's the "Lying starter pack"

Predstan:
Lol. He said I don’t use lol… I bought it exactly the same same day it came out.

I’ve not been able to attach images on NAIRALAND for. Long time. I could have done that but the counterpoint research website can help you better understand the market…

iPhone is the most valued brand no doubt. But the global shipment of Samsung has always tupled iPhones. Now combining other products, you may say iPhone really at the top.

Na only people wey never see money day shout “Name your price on a faceless Forum”. You don’t know people enough to assume they are as poor as you or your circle is just too small to assume everyone on earth is of the same category.

I wonder why Nigerians are so obsessed with iPhones. Well, it’s so obvious that poor people are always wanting to show the little they have. Using Samsung is not a thing to be mocked for.

first off its clear you lack understanding and secondly it's a confirmation you don't use the iPhone.

I clearly did state that Apple controls the flagship market. I believe I'm not the only one to tell you that but you keep resorting to overall market with includes midrange and entry level which iPhones don't have product in.
How many phones do Samsung release in a year and how many do Apple release?
Check whatever data you want, Samsung A series is Samsung best selling product, that's midrange to entry level phones.
When it comes to premium market, Samsung is lacking.

Can you point to one Samsung flagship phone that has sold 100 million units in 1 year?.. that's the figure the iPhone breaks year after year.

Go do your research bro, you seems to lack a lot to constitute a meaningful argument.

PS: Name your price doesn't mean you're poor or anything. Don't let your inferiority complex to be that glaring

Predstan:
Sorry bro, Viva has the highest shipment in China. China is only 1.4billion out of the world population. The data are all polluted out there and you can find it anywhere…

I use am iPhone 13 pro Max but I talk from data points not from sentiments.

IPhone leads China smartphone market...

Die it with the "I use blah blah blah" lie. You don't use the iPhone 13 pro Max.

Let's be real year, pull out a Q4 market analysis where the iPhone isn't #1 and name your price...

Predstan:
Again Samsung has always been ahead of apple. CNN mentioned their market share but didn’t say it was the highest. Again, Samsung has the highest market in the world. iPhone bounced to being second in 2020. Apple has never held up to 20%. The last statistics was 14% with 48million while Samsung topping the list at 21% with 69million shipments . This is a data from Q4 2021

Oga there will never be a Q4 that Samsung tops iPhone when Apple releases new product September / October... make una dey lie small na.. everybody uses the internet

SunMusk:
Your data to support your claim please

the internet is free abi I dey owe you data

Predstan:
Well, Samsung is doing better than iPhone in the Market control and has always been.

understand before you choose to reply... Samsung is present in all categories of phones, shipping close to 20 products... The IPhone only has product in the high end category with 4 units...
For it to carve out 29% of the total market is more than impressive.

Do you know what it means to be #1 in the Chinese market. A market that is government regulated and individually inclined to favor local products

richeeyo:
IPhone as just been overrated
I always go with android phones
That are worth saying iPhone is overhyped

yet it controls the premium phone market and has 29% overall Market share for a IPhone that only has product in the flagship level..

that you don't know how impressive that is can be one of the reason why you just called the iPhone overhyped

humberjade:
To think we have thousands of Nigerian students in Ukraine is worrisome...I think there is no going back now, the shells will soon start dropping.

Considering US seem to be playing lip service to protecting Ukraine, can't the Govt retrace its steps to at least protect the lives of its citizens?

Reminds me of the Cuban Missile Crisis...almost the same scenario played out, but the onslaught was stopped at the die minute by the leaders of both countries...I pray a sincere last minute diplomacy can work in this case too.

lip service? for a country that have send more aid both financial and military to Ukraine than any other country.

SirBlack999:
All these would have been avoided if NATO had stopped its eastward expansion.

which one is eastward expansion, NATO has evolved since the end of the Cold War. They are more about European security than fighting Russia, meaning any European country is free to join

But Russia can't help making everything about them so they can stay relevant.

The same Russia that is pulling back its forces from the border or another one??

Ovo200:
Stupid Western media creating panic everywhere. Russia isn't planning to invade Ukraine, Putin clearly stated that he would invade Ukraine should Ukraine join NATO and it would Lead to a nuclear war and there won't be winner. Why are Democrat so much in love with war, they make loads of fortune from war.
The world is missing Trump, the only USA president that did not start another fresh war

did you vote for Trump or you just stayed in Nigeria to wail like your fellow wailers
