Way to go Ukraine. No need fighting what is beyond you. Just surrender.

Asking civilians to pick up arms puts the lives of every adult at risk, whether they volunteer end to fight or not.

God bless your sense!

Ukraine asked all Children Women to leave the country.
ZELENSKY ordered all CIVILIAN Men within the ages of 16yrs and 60yrs to stay-put.
ZELENSKY then gave WEAPONS to all those CIVILIAN Men, telling them to DEFEND UKRAINE and fight the Russians.

QUESTION IS: What NAME do we call able bodied Men who are armed with weapons and shooting at Soldiers?

ANSWER: ENEMY COMBATANTS.

So, it is President Zelensky that turned Ukrainian Civilians into Enemy Combatants and made them a LEGITIMATE TARGET to Russian Soldiers

Lolzzzz... Are U aware Russia wasn't in existence as at 1989? The eastwards was the communist Eastern Germany Bloc. Take ur time and Google about the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the cold war. Isn't it funny It is wiki U are referring to while most of U pro-Putin commentators talk about western media. U admitted there were protests and yet u are calling it a coup.

Your ignorance is so mind-boggling, it does not deserve an enlightment!
And the way you revel in this ignorance, hailed on by those who never read but based their position on compromised Western Main stream media, reminds me of the "cave man syndrome". grin grin

What is a VIOLENT PROTEST (where many opposition members are burnt alive and the rest have their heads blown-off by sniper fire and the Council building burnt down, etc) that OVERTHROWS AN ELECTED PRESIDENT (Yanukovytch called?

A Game?

Yet, Russia is able to bring a Nation as powerful as Ukraine, to its knees in less than 2Weeks, with Zelensky crying that THE END OF THE WORLD HAS COME? shocked grin

Even America has quickly suspended its proposed Nuclear Test for tomorrow, lest the Russians should respond with a Nuke, thinking its under attack.
As a matter of fact, America has quickly set-up a "deconfliction Hotline" where they can quickly call Russia, to assure them that they are never going to do all those things cry-cry Zelensky is begging for.

Good luck with being landlocked...


Kiev is already ENCIRCLED within 30km.
But Putin is just being very, very Nice to Ukraine because he keeps saying Russia and Ukraine are BROTHERS (which is actually true!) and he does not want the deaths of their Civilians but those Crazy Neo-Nazis, like the Arzov Battalion Militia he absorbed into Ukrainian Army, will either Surrender or
Their atrocities since 2014 Die

Exactly. Macron and France are the biggest hypocrites. They should stop leeching off Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal and all their former colonies in W. Africa.


If not that l know Putin to be one of the smartest Presidents ever, l would have said he is foolish for even engaging this "double-faced" Macron!
Macron is an Unreliable, back-stabbing Hypocrite and l am sure Putin knows this, so Putin must have a 'Game Plan' for still engaging him.


When Russia ordered for a nd PAID IN FULL, for Tow Warships from France, it was this same Macron that refused to deliver the Finished Product, saying Russia may use its against an E.U member!
Why did he not think of that before accepting the Payment?

He finally sold the WarShip to Turkey and one other country l cant remember now.

Macron's FRANCE was part of the Minks Agreement, why did he not insist that Zelensky and Ukraine FULFILL their part of the Agreement?
Why did he not sanction Ukraine for bombarding the Dombas region people?

Macron meanwhile, was the first to seize a Russian Private Merchant Ship, immediately the conflict started/

The Truth about most E.U Leaders is that they are privately jealous and envious of Russia and Putin.
Even more, they are are AFRAID of Russia and see this War as an opportunity to weaken Russia, while hiding behind NATO/America.

The Problem l have with this Indomie generation of Nigerians (and some clueless older dudes) is that they are too MENTALLY LAZY AND HAVE NO APPETITE TO SEARCH FOR TRUTH, on any issue.

A simple Google search of "How President Yanukovych was overthrown" or "The Maidon 'Cookie' Revolution", would have thrown up a lot of facts for anyone to ponder upon and given Nigerians an INSIGHT into the mind so-called "Mad Man", President Putin.

Its a long story but l will give a summary and you can Google more info, so as to make up your own mind.

- Yanukovych was validly elected as President, in a democratic election. He was from the Dombas Region
- Because the US and NATO wanted to expand into Ukraine, so they can directly threaten Russia, they asked him to become Pro-NATO/AMERICA/
-The President refused and preferred to have good relations with its stronger neighbour, Russia.
- AMERICA (does anyone recall that name: Nuland?) used its Agents, CIA Ops and the enemies of Russia, like Poland, to sponsor Radical, Nazi-like criminal gangs, to VIOLENTLY TOPPLE Yanukovych's Govt.
- the violence was led by a US funded band of Militia Men called the ARZOV BATTALION.Now, if you think Nigerian Herdsmen are Evil, then you've not seen the Arzov Battallion in Action.
- The guys encircled a City Council Building where some supporters of the President were hoilding a Meeting, ON FIRE! Anyone who managed to escape the fire either have their head CHOPPED-OFF putsidethe burning multi-storey building or had their head blown-off with Sniper Fire.....in a "Western country"!
- The terrorist, Neo-Nazi Arzov Battallion (later banned on Facebook aand other SM since 2016, but reinstated since last week!), nearly killed President Yanukovych, he ran away for dear life.
- America/NATO and the E.U then imposed "their man" Porochenko, one of the Neo-Nazis, as President.
- Porochenko then ensured that Ukraine was properly radicalised and Pro-NATO. He also banned one of their TWO OFFICIAL LANGUAGES (RUSSIAN), which is the natural, ethnic language of the people from the Dombas region of Ukraine.
-- this angered the people of Dombas Region, they organised a REFERENDUM and decided they no longer want to be a part of Ukraine, understandably so.
- Since that REFERENDUM IN 2014, the Porochenko Govt in Kiev, unleashed military might on them in Dombas Region, using the same Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion (now absorbed into the Ukrainian Army). only the People of that Dombas region (Lughansk and Donetsk), can narrate the horror they have been going through, since that 2014.
- Being "Native, Ethnic Russian Speakers", Russia tried to mediate between them and the Govt in Kiev (Ukraine). France and Germany were also GUARANTORS of the Agreement they all signed, after the Negotiation/Mediation. That AGREEMENT was called Minsk I (and a second one, Minsk II), because it took place in Minsk, capital of Belarus.
- The Minsk Agreements stipulates that:
1) Ukraine Govt should not use MILITARY FORCE to conquer and forcefully re-unite the two breakaway areas of Lughansk and Donetsk, known together as "Dombas Region".
2) The Dombas region should be given some "Self Autonomy" but will still remain a member of Ukraine
3) The people should not be disenfranchised any longer and they should be allowed to speak their ethnic Russian Language.
4) The Agreement was signed by the Ukrainian Govt, the Representatives of the Two break-away Regions, Russia, Germany and France, as guarantors.

Between 2014 and Jan 2022, the Ukrainian Govt did not implement any of the resolution in the Agreement but rather kept on shelling the Regions, using heavy Artillery, while its Neo-Nazi Arzov Battalion unleashed war and mayhem on them.
-Being ethnic Russians, they ran to Russia for help, about a Million of them even took Russian citizenship, hoping Russia will come to their aid.
- For 8yrs, Russia did all he could, to make the Ukrainian central Govt change its mindset but it only got worse.
- The West, seeing that having a military Base and "ally" in Ukraine, would make Russia very vulnerable, encouraged Ukraine to join the EU first, and then join NATO afterwards. it also gave Ukraine the needed Weapons, Training and Money, on the condition that it MUST SUPPRESS THE DOMBAS REGION COMPLETELY, BY ALL MEANS.
- For 8yrs, help did not come but "hell" was let lose in the Dombas Region, courtesy of these Neo-Nazis called Azov Battalion, now ingratiated into the Ukranian military.
- Long story short, Zelensky was elected, after 4yrs of Porochenko and he made a vow to America that he would solve the "Dombas Problem" by March 2022.
- Putin got "Intelligence Report" of what is about to happen to his "Ethnic Russian family" (some have become Russian Citizens by now) in Dombas. He also got to know that Zelensky has applied to take Ukraine into the EU and NATO.
- Putin objected such move, just as America will object, if Russia tries to bring Mexico, Cuba or even Canada into a Military Alliance with it. (Anyone can read how the "Cuban Missile Crisis played out, during the Cold War). Putin wrote series of Letters to America, EU, United Nations, and anyone that matters, stating WHY it will not allow Ukraine to join NATO and WHY Russia will no longer permit Military Operations in the Dombas Region but that Zelensky should rather IMPLEMENT the Agreement signed in Minsk I and Minsk II.
- The West called his Letters, "A Non-Starter" and dismissed it with a wave of hand.
- America also said Russia cannot decide for Ukraine, whether to join NATO or not, even though America did not allow Cuba to have such military alliance with Russia!
- To prevent Ukraine Govt from joining NATO (which Russia called a "Red Line", as it is an Existential Threat to Russia) and to prevent Zelenky from unleashing his "final attack" on the People of Dombas, right after they proclaimed their independence, Russia did TWO THINGS:

1) Russia decided to give recognition to the Two Republics (Lugansk and Donesk) IMMEDIATELY.
That way, they can invite Russia for "Protection" from the impending Military onslaught of Zelensky's Ukrainian Govt.

2) Russia decided to PRE-EMPT the combination of America/NATO and EU from taking Ukraine into its Military Alliance, after which time, it will be too late, because then, he will have to face NATO, a Nuclear Power Alliance! The same way that, as of today, America and its NATO Allies are wary of confronting a Nuclear Power Russia, if they put "boots on the ground" in Ukraine.
Russia invaded Ukraine and vowed to deal with the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion that has been killing Ethnic Russians in Lugansk and Donetsk since 2014 (De-Nazification Objective) while degrading all the Weapons that NATO/America has been storing in Ukraine since 2014, to be used against Russia once Ukraine attains NATO Membership and to prevent Ukraine's ability to develop a Nuclear Weapon (De-Militarisation objective)

Now, that we know WHY Russia did what it had to do, l will end this Write Up by reminding us that Russia still sees Ukraine and Ukrainians as "Brothers", hence its refusal to use "overwhelming force", especially from the Air, to reduce Ukraine to Rubble. Zelensky, who is in hiding, should stop the propaganda that they are "resisting Russia" militarily.
Also, Russia does not intend that any Ukrainian civilian should die, but by handing out weapons to Civilians, Zelensky has put them in Harm's way, to shoot and be shot by trained soldiers.. But War is not an exact Science, anyway. Russia was always willing for a "Negotiated Surrender", to avoid further casualties.

BTW: All Western Media are still operating and reporting from INSIDE Russia, you can watch CNN Reporting from Bolgorov in Russia, Fox from Moscow, BBC from Moscow, etc. but the Americans and Europeans have SHUTDOWN all avenue for the Public to listen to Russian Television (RT News) on all social Media (taken off-air in Europe, UK, America, YouTube, Apps Store, Google Play Store and just about ant means of hearing the Russian Point of View!
WHY IS THAT?
The reason given by the British, American and E.U is that they dont want RT News to misinform their People, they want them to listen to News aired only by Western Main Stream Media.
Hmmm.... does it mean that Americans and Europeans are too dumb to make up their mind, by themselves, if they hear THE TWO SIDES OF A STORY or does this sound like BRAINWASHING THEIR PEOPLE?

BTW: FIFA, International Olympic Committee (IOC), UEFA, World Judo Federation, Formula 1, EPL and many other "International" Sports Organisation have always punished any Athlete who as much as put on a Sportswear that have the slightest hint of a "Political Message", claiming that "Politics and Sport Dont Mix" yet, we have all seen their HYPOCRISY as they have all towed and capitulated under American Pressure to BAN "Anything Russian" or anyone who does not agree with their own "Russia is Evil" Narrative.
Even the United Nations has become USELESS as America has now decided it has the right to prevent UN Diplomats from coming to the United Nations or Expel a sitting UN Diplomat, like it expelled 13 UN Diplomats of Russian origin! What a Shame.

P.S: I have written this events because it is what most of us have been prevented from hearing or reading, by the information clamp down of the Western World. Let ALL INFORMATION/NEWS be available for the people to hear and then let them decide what to believe.

Thank you.

Extremely bad planning for you to run out of juice with a car with 250+ mile range at Full charge. If making Abuja to Kano trip for example, you'll need to look for a good place enroute that you can charge on your overnight stay.

A behaviour and mindset change is def required if you intentionally own an electric car

The bolded is exactly my point!
I drive a Toyota Prius T-Spirit 2012. It is a Hybrid Car and l do drive it from Kano to P.H without a worry on a Full tank.
If it were full Electric, l will need to Sleep overnight somewhere to charge, once the less than the 250 Miles (real Capacity is less) is exhausted along the journey.
Not to mention the danger of staying in Hotels, the need for Special Chargers Accessories/Points, which are not even readily available in Nigeria.
Its is not about attitudinal Change, it is about Available Infrastructure and being realistic.
The Major reason why everyone has not switched to Full Electric, in advance countries, is because of the lack of Adequate Charging Points, how much more in Nigeria. grin

I watched everyday of that bloody Coup in 2014, sponsored by the CIA, American Embassy in Ukraine and how they used the same "Neo Nazis Group" (Arzov Battallion, which were later absorbed into Ukraine's National Army) to overthrow the legitimate President, Victor Yanukovytch.
Infact, America gave each of these Neo Nazis, a free and unlimited American Dollar Credit Card, to spend as they wish. They beheaded his supporters and burnt them inside a City council building.

If we keep saying because NATO did this Russia also has the right to keep doing it, when will it end?
Who's lives do you want to be playing this game with?

You sided Putin not because he's doing the right thing but because you hate the West and it gives you joy to see Putin kill innocent children just to even with the West.

Why can't Putin attack a NATO state or the US if this is about US and NATO?
Why is he attacking a weaker state?


You, Putin and whomever had invaded a weak country are all psychopaths


Why cant AMERICA attack China or even Russia, why are they attacking weaker countries without Nuclear Power like Iraq, Libya, Syria, Somalia?
Are you saying America is a Psychopath?
cool grin grin
Why cant they attack "ordinary" North Korea?
The answer to these questions, including your own question, is that Nuclear Powers dont attack each other! grin grin

But woe unto smaller Countries like Ukraine, who allow themselves to be used for a "Proxy War" between the Super Powers.
They will only get destroyed while the Super Powers move on to the next "Stupid Pawn" they can find. undecided
Zelensky wii realise this, sooner or later, l think they (Ukraine) have started insulting President Biden and other Western Countries for not starting a Nuclear wae on their behalf.

Sources in the Ukrainian intelligence have told Ukrainska Pravda that Ukraine’s ex-President Viktor Yanukovych is in Kremlin, Russia’s seat of power, being prepared for a special operation.

The sources said Vladmir Putin plans to replace Voladmyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, with Yanukovych.


Yanukovych is a former Ukrainian president who served from 2010 until he was removed from office during a revolution in 2014.

During Yanukovych’s time in office, Ukraine was seen to be subservient to Russia. The CNN once referred to Putin as ‘Ukraine’s Puppet Master’ while Yanukovych was president in 2014.

Yanukovych rejected a pending European Union association agreement the same year and pursued closer ties with Russia, leading to his exit.

Violent clashes between protesters and Ukrainian forces caused him to flee to southern Russia.


With Yanukovych back in power, Kyiv would lean more towards Moscow than the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or Western Europe, observers say.

The Problem l have with this Indomie generation of Nigerians (and some clueless older dudes) is that they are too MENTALLY LAZY AND HAVE NO APPETITE TO SEARCH FOR TRUTH, on any issue.

BTW: FIFA, International Olympic Committee (IOC), UEFA, World Judo Federation, Formula 1, EPL and many other "International" Sports Organisation have always punished any Athlete who as much as put on a Sportswear that have the slightest hint of a "Political Message", claiming that "Politics and Sport Dont Mix" yet, we have all seen their HYPOCRISY as they have all towed and capitulated under American Pressure to BAN "Anything Russian" or anyone who does not agree with their own "Russia is Evil" Narrative.
Even the United Nations has become USELESS as America has now decided it has the right to prevent UN Diplomats from coming to the United Nations or Expel a sitting UN Diplomat, like it expelled 13 UN Diplomats of Russian origin! What a Shame.

P.S: I have written this events because it is what most of us have been prevented from hearing or reading, by the information clamp down of the Western World. Let ALL INFORMATION/NEWS be available for the people to hear and then let them decide what to believe.

Thank you.

Election Parole/Things.

The Fool never uttered a word, all these years that his Terrorist, Fulani Herdsmen Tribe were killing innocent Southern Farmers, raping their wives and daughters and burning their Farms.
The thief was all the while enjoying his loot in Dubai, now that Election is near, he has reared his ugly, loosing head again.


God forbid that Nigerians make another Buhari-like mistake, again.

It's your misery, frustration and cross to carry.
If you're not lonely and miserable, you won't fall easily in the hands of young whorès and slùts that has nothing to offer but the holes between their legs, while they collect your money and also give you all kinds of STDs...
You fell even as a married man and believe, no sane married man will allow his family live abroad while he stays somewhere else lonely and miserable all because his wife his frustrated with their home country... Are you a man at all?
Again, no sane woman will live her young husband here to live alone and fend for himself... expect if she has "OTHER" plans...
There's no other joy like family living and growing together.
You certainly still belong to the low class of the society and you also have poor mindset...
Why are your family members abroad? Better life abroad? Better schools?
The minister of Labour, Speaker of the house of rep and many other elites in Nigeria have their children in Unilag and other schools in Nigeria so what are you feeling like?

YOU ARE THE BIGGEST LOSER HERE.

Well, Hyundai Kona (Full Electric, 250mile range) is currently being assembled in Nigeria. Why not just go all the way tongue tongue grin grin

That's my wish list for next year... This year, it's to add another 30kwh lifepo4 batteries to take me completely offgrid

I prefer a Hybrid Car (Fuel and Electric) than a full Electric.
Charging a Full Electric in this Nigeria where Power is epileptic and there are no charging points in most places, could mean one gets stuck on an Express Road without a charging Point in sight.

Sadly, the West created this monster called Putin.
If Russia kept quiet when America / Israel and/or her allies invaded soverign States to protect their interests and way of life , Russia expects them to also keep quiet when it is doing her own invasion.
This is why they say, 'what goes around , comes around'.

It goes beyond that, the SILENCE you are referring to.

Like they say: A Child cannot ask for what or who killed his father (Challenge), until hehas the Sword in his Hand - African Proverb

Its a long Story but the summary of it is that:
On the dismantling of the USSR, Russia was TOO WEAK, to make any meaningful challenge to the WEST, when they were doing these Invasions, until it rebuilds its Military to a level.
Even now, it is still struggling, from the crippling Sanctions which these Fang-Up of Western Criminals are inflicting on it.
As of today, look at what it is facing, now imagine what it would have faced, if he dared these Monsters, some Twenty years ago?
This is why l am not a fan of this Uni-Polar World of America.

Is it not strange that the EU and America thinks its people are not Smart enough todetermine truth from Lies and it is them who has to regulate what the People believe?

Right now, the Russian Television www.RT.com, one of the places you can hear the Point of View of Russia, aside the Western Propaganda, has been banned and taken off air!
All internet Traffic to their websites or Apps have been blocked, even in Nigeria!

That is to show you that the WEST does not want anyone to be able to think for themselves but for all of us to just swallow the BS they are telling us on Western Main Stream Media.
So much for the FREEDOM they shout about.
They just dont want us to know what is going on, except what they tell us is going on, like we are Robots
Bloody Hypocrites.
I am sure they will soon block CGTN, the Chinese News outlet as well.

WHEN RUSSIA AND CHINA RUNS THE SHOW IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE FOR EVERYBODY.

You really dont understand.
If we have Three Major Powers, they will keep a CHECK and BALANCE on each other, far better than having only one Super Power who rides roughshod over everyone because no one can challenge him.
If one wants to misbehave, the others will keep him in check


If there was USSR and China was a World Power, Iraq invasion, Syria, Libya destruction etc might not have happened

so a man who was sane in 1973 can not become insane in 2022 ? Your Buhari pursued Camerounian Gerndames out of Nigeria in 1982 - same Buhari sat on his hands and watched Bandits from Mali and Niger run over Daura his home town - think about that

You are right on those examples but you faile din the most important Area: Why did he run Mad, many Years later?
Insanity does not happen on someone out of nowhere, there are TRIGGERS.


For example: Do you know why Buhari is supporting Fulani Herdsmen, aka Bandits, since 2016, despite what he did in 1982? Do you?
If you do, then everything become very clear to you and you understand his motives and you can question it , whether it is right or wrong.

Look for the Triggers in this current event and you would understand Putin's motive and would have done yourself some good.
Most of you dont care to understand WHY someone did something, you only rake and wail at what he did

Everybody is just jumping on the Anti-Russia bandwagon, even the American Politicians have turned it to a campaign issue

They are really daft my friend.

I just wonder how ignorant they can be, about Events that happens around them and affects them!
Just to do small Research and try to know what is "wrong" with Putin, to see if he is a mad man or if there is something he is really worried about or whether he has any reason to be worried (answers for which History already provides, in abundance), they wont but come here to act like "Western World fanatics grin grin

I dont want War but l ask myself: What Options is left for Russia?

- Should he fold his hands and watch NATO deploy weapons at his Border with Ukraine?
Will america fold its hand if Russia deploys offensive weapons in Canada or Mexico?
Do these Clowns even know how the implosion of the USSR was orchestrated by the West (Perestroika and Glasnot) or did they think that the USSR just broke down by itself? Do they think Putin was just going to watch and let that happen to Russia?

- Should Russia fold its hands and watch as Zelennsky's Neo Nazis slaughter Ethnic Russians in Dombas area of Ukraine, which they have been doing since 2014, despite an agreement in Minksm that provides a solution to the disagreements, signed by Ukraine, Russia, france and Germany?
Imagine if the EU/NATO insists that Zelensky or his predecessor, Porochenko, IMPLEMENTS the AGREEMENT THEY SIGNED in MINSK. are we going to be in this situation?

I am even more surprised by we Igbos who support this nonsense because our situation is exactly as it is in Domabs Region: A Country killing one of its own Ethnic members,supported by the President and Army. sad sad

The world is full of hypocrisy.

Why didn't they do the same for Israel?

Israel kills Palestinians on a daily basis, despite being the one occupying their lands, controlling how much water they can drink, how much Cement can enter their Prison, if and when they can get Hospital treatment, How much food can enter their territory, how much Petrol is allowed into Gaza, where they can travel to and if they can come back home, etc.

But you never hear it in the Western Media, it does not concern them, those Palestinians do not deserve all the hue and cry of Sovereignty, Human Rights or Dignity.

Even the fools on this Nairaland blaming Russia have never spared a thought and blame EU/NATO for not attacking Israel over such atrocities but they are here crying their hearts out over Russia.
That shows you how daft, Black people, especially Nigerians, are.
The World has truly lost its sense of Justice.

You guys should at least "think about what you want to say firs[/b]t, before saying it in the open". angry angry

[b]Putin's Popularity Rating is 67% inside Russia, far-far higher than any Leader in any European Country while that of Joe Biden is at an abysmal 39%. grin grin
Who do you think is more likely to be overthrown?
shocked shocked shocked

Russians revere Putin like a mini god because they know he has brought the pride back to Russians.
I can bet you that if an Election was done tomorrow, among all Western Leaders, Putin is about the only one that will win and win again... till 2035.
Right now, the problem Russians have is how to "grow another Putin" to take over from Putin bu tl a m sure, being very Proud people, they are working on that.
It is a shame on Black Africans that it is this same Putin who put his life on the line for them, during the days when the West was still colonising their forefather, that they are villifying now, Ignorant Ingrates.

I was telling people it is not about having nuclear warheads means you are going to win a war. Do you have the financial capability to sustain it?!.. Putin just showed he is not a smart strategist. Other countries knew they can halt Russia invasion without shading bloods of their citizens by crippling Russia’s economic. They currency has devaluated too

I dont know how old you are or your levelof education, so l wont assume you know enough history about Western Sanctions on Russia.

Just ask yourself: Why is it always USA, through NATO and European Puppets that is always using SANCTIONS TO DESTROY THE ECONOMY OF OTHER COUNTRIES? From Cuba, to Iran, to Libya, to Syria, To Iraq, North Korea, Chile, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, China, Latin American Countries, etc.

Countries know USA for what it is and are developing alternative means to cushion the effect of these criminal sanctions or bypass it altogether, while the Power and Influence of America and its puppet wanes.

I can tell you that in less than another two years, America will instigate another level of Sanctions on Russia and China,
Now, China buys 50% of Russian Gas and Wheat and pays Russia back in Consumer goods and technology
.


Very soon, it is either the Nuclear Armed Countries will face themselves and exterminate everyone or America will lose its Hegemony over the World.
No Empire has last forever, that is one lesson no one can fail to learn from History.

Russians will soon rise against Putin. Putin can't even shut its gas against Europe because that is his last means of survival. They are basically shutting down all international related businesses in Russia, the Russian populace will suffer.

You think Russians are as stoopid as those Arabs that America instigated against their Govt?
You think they are like Libyans that America instigated the People of Misrata, against those in Tripoli?
You think that Russians are as brainless as these Ukrainians that America used "Freedom Cookies" to divide their country and over throw their elected President, because he was Russian leaning?

If that can happen, it will have happened since 2006, when the West has been sponsoring these "protests"?
That useful He-Goat called Navalny, that they are sponsoring, is cooling his heels in jail, as we speak now.
Putin is smarter than about Ten Western Presidents combined, that is why he keeps outsmarting them and they keep getting more angry.
grin grin

BTW: The Europeans are not talking about how those racist Polish Border Guards are refusing to allow BLACKS into Poland, while allowing other Whites to enter, from Ukraine.. If any black person has sense, they should think about that. You dont count to White people, simple.
