UAE123:
Russia is going to feel the negative effect of it's airstrike on Ukraine more especially in as the years go by and it has indirectly give Ukraine a much bigger voice than it was having before.

LMAO grin grin grin Ukraine is just a Puppet in this 'game'.
Russia has taken over its Nuclear facility, its Airports, its military Posts, where is the "strong Voice" you are talking about?


Russia has been under these illegal Sanctions since when it went to war in Georgia in 2008, l think.
Just like Ukraine, Georgia wanted to join NATO and that was a red line for Russia.
Though today, Russia and Ukraine and on good footing and are friendly neighbours, without joining NATO. kiss

But Russia has not "died", has not gone bankrupt and has even grown stronger, to the chagrin of Western Countries.
These rabid hatred for Russia and Evil Sanctionss will not deter Russia from growing stronger and stronger.
They better "make Peace' with Russia than trying to bully it into submission because just like Israel, it will never submit to the Bullying.

Trump is just a scallywag who likes to take advantage of the misfortune of others.
I dont attach any ounce of weight ot his Words.

This Russia issue did not start today, it is more than 8yrs old, at least in the recent times.
Was it not this same Trump that was Peddling Influence for Weapons with Ukraine?

"Weaklings" have No Mind of their own, they always line up behind a BULLY, so it is not surprising.
Most E.U natiosn are afraid of Russia and wil like to see it destroyed, the same Way Israel was afraid of Syria and Irad (waiting on Iran) and orchestrated it to be destroyed by America.

Its all survival strategy, so dont make it look like Russia is bad and every one hates it.

ICBMs, Nuclear subs, long range stealth bombers offer more strategic nuclear strike advantage than "placing limited range missiles" next to Russia at the risk of a political crisis.

Look at this Clown! You are just mouthing weapons but you know nothing about their Trajectory or flight in space, otherwise you wont even write what you wrote.

sirDUKE:

Good question. The Truth is you don't expect everyone to respond with same tactics okay, moreover USA isn't playing with same strategy okay?
The truth is Russia sees Ukraine as a part of Russia, they allowed Ukraine to become sovereign on condition that Ukrain consent to. It was called The Budapest agreement. Ukraine had to give up it Nuclear Weapons because Russia felt threatened by that, why then would they consent to Join Nato an arc enemy of Russia and have Nato military base moved to Russia door? Common it isn't fair.
The best way Russia deems fit to confront this threat is what it doing, which personally I think is bad war is never an option but the west shouldn't come and be claiming Saints. they are all the same.

Russia has tried its best, in the last 15yrs, to make the West see reason and to make Ukraine too understand its concern.
It has written so many Letters to all the International Institutions , the E.U, the United Nations and just about anyone it thinks has the duty to allow reason to prevail.
The US/EU/NATO said its Letter was a "Non Starter", it just dismissed it like you will dismiss a small boy throwing tantrums.

Russia was left with no option, than to Act and it is acting,... Now Everyone is listening and not calling it a "Non Starter".


Let any Country go and place Missiles in a country beside Israel and see what will happen.
Why do you think Israel still bombed Syria as of Yesterday?
Why is Israel attacking Iran's Nuclear facilities til today" Self Preservation, but we did not hear the West condemning Israel, only Russia deserves condemnation


War is not good and l agree that if possible, must be avoided at all cost, which is not the same mentality with the USA, who is always Shooting First and asking Question later!
But Russia, in my own opinion, has ran out of choices and has been pushed to the Wall and it is fighting back, taking the Path of least resistance. Putin is one of the most Rational Leaders that ever ruled any country, he is clam, cool, strategic and patriotic to his country and people.
God bless Putin, If Nigeria has a Patriotic leader like that (unlike ours that sell our country to foreigners or sabotage our efforts for their personal gain!), Nigeria wont be the shit-hole it is today


Mind you, l am not Anti-West, l love their advancement in technology as much as l like that of others like Russia, China, Japan, etc but we need to see and look beyond that emotion

Even U.S citizens themselves still doubt exactly how 9/11 happened. Just googles conspiracy theories about it. I'm no terrorist apologist, I just don't swallow everything I'm told by people in power hook, line and sinker like a slowpoke. Maybe that's what you do though.

You have a brain, please ask questions and try to see through the other side of things. The world is not juts black and white. There are other colors in it too.

I like people like you, WHO ASK QUESTIONS!
- Why si it that out of the 23 terrorist that did the 9/11, 21 were Saudi Citizens but Saudi Arabia was never attacked?
- Non of them were from Iraq but it was Iraq that was invaded and destroyed?
- Why were the iron Rods taken out of the collapsed ground Zero buildings quickly SOLD OUT to be melted to a East European Nation on the condition that they melt it immediately, thereby preventing Investigators form analysing the type of explosive material used in the explosion and to allow them trace its origin?
- why were the family members of Osama B Laden who were resident in the USA, as at the day of the 9/11, allowed to travel out of the USA, despite the prevailing "closed air space" (No Fly order) of the President on that day?
- Who benefits from the destruction of Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and possible Syria?
- Why was Ghadafi killed, despite the fact that he had surrendered all his weapons, paid for an accident he knew nothing about (Lockerbie) and his country thrown into chaos? (Every African MUST ask and find answer to this question)
- Why was the partitioning of Iraq a priority for America, after the invasion? Why are they also trying to partiton Syria, righ tnow?

And finally, if you can, please download and read "Official Documents" like
- "Yinon Plan"
- The Great Game
- A Clean Break:A New Strategy for securing the Realm

All these can be read freely on the Internet. They are official documents, mostly, not "Russian books" grin grin

again you clearly missed the whole point as it is usual with you guys.

Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are all closer to Russia than Turkey yet there's no missile there.
So why should they leave those ones and only be looking for Ukraine. You that have read wide. Reason! Think critical.


An AWC don't need to fly over a country to get info about enemy positions and equipments. Russia can easily get that by staying in Russia.
Yet you believe the US that ban Turkey, its ally from the F-35 program will now willingly move it's equipments into Ukraine all because they want to place missiles in Ukraine for a war that may not happen ever.
Missiles that can be delivered effectively from a sub in the black sea or the Baltic sea or the Pacific.

Reason guy, you are falling for Russian paranoia here

Now, l am convinced that you are "very short" on knowledge about these things! grin
I am sure you will suggest that America actually does not need all those foreign, military Bases it has all over the world, because AWS can be launched from anywhere! grin grin

FACTS:
- Turkey was under US sanctions, right through Obama Presidency. WHY?
- Even as a member of NATO< America refused to sell F-35's to Turkey but sold it to Israel and Japan and Germany. WHY?
- Turkey was refused the purchase of US made Patriot Missiles, even though they sold it to other countries. WHY? (They had to go and buy Russian-made S-400 Missile systems) and America said it would withdraw "military cooperation" with them because they dont want them to integrate Russian technology with theirs (that as the excuse)

- America does not trust Turkey one bit, even though they are both NATO members but they have different ideology and America still sees Turkey as a potential military threat, under Type Erdogan grin undecided

Why am l telling you all these FACTS (and you can Google them, to be sure it is true),?
It is to let you understand and answer your Question about why America will not put Missile Batteries in Turkey, but place it in Ukraine.
Ofcourse, they have their weapons in all those Estonia, Poland, etc, as NATO Members.

The closest country to Russia, that is NOT a NATO member and that is friendly (Read: Subservient to..) with America, is Ukraine!
That is why america is bent on bringing Ukraine into its air of Influence.

If guys like you "read at all", you will have read where Russia did the analysis of how long it will take a Nuked Missile to reach Moscow, if fired from Kiev and how the time will be too short, for Russia to take any preemptive action.
This is why the issue of Ukraine, is EXISTENTIAL to Russia and that is why l said yesterday, that "Russia just had to invade Ukraine, `as it is, to remain Alive".


I am not a Russian Lover, as you said (and nothing to be ashamed of, even if l am one), but l am "AN INFORMED REALIST" and l analyze things without emotions.
Honestly, l cant go on with this back and forth, it is not my problem that you guys are ignorant.

......

Just this past week before the invasion, I don't know if you read it in the news that Israel shot down a Syrian military fighter that was on a mission to combat an Isis region. The jet was shot in Syria air space not Israel air space o.

UAE and Saudi had been bombarding Yemen for years now with little or no media coverage o.

So many things going on without it being reported cos it doesn't fit the narrative.

You know that the soldier guarding Snake island in Ukraine that were initially reported killed by Russia and later four d to be alive. When the news of th being alive broke some medias were saying that it was Russian propaganda that they were actually killed only for them to report later that they were now alive.

USA, Russia Ukraine, UK, France etc all have one evil act or the other that they perpetuate.



As we speak right now, l just spoke with a young Cousin in Ukraine/Poland Border and he was crying! WHY?
The Polish Border Guards allowed Ukrainian and other "White Refugees" from Ukraine to enter Poland but LOCKED THE GATE AGAINST BLACK REFUGEES FROM UKRAINE!

He said they have been there, in the sub-zero temperature since Friday Night,

I advised him to go back home in Ukraine, not carry any weapon and display a White Flag on his Window, that l am certain Russian Soldiers will not touch them.
He said if they did that, the Ukrainian Nationalist (Neo Nazis) Militias will come in, drag them out and shoot them. he said they are more afraid of them than the Russians, and that is why they want to run away now, that they still have the chance.
But the Western Media is not reporting any of these, as if they are not aware, afteral, it is just BLACK people.

It is this same Ukrainian Nationalist Nazis that are killing the Ethnic Russians in Dombas Region, that Putin is determined to get rid of, that he invaded Ukraine.


Poland, Hungary and Ukraine are full of all these White Supremacist Neo-Nazis that hate others to the point of killing others. Those are Hitler's Boys on the prowl

Do you think they would expend so much money and resources to do that, if "PROXIMITY" does not count?

A Missile fired from Turkey, will take longer to reach Russia, than one fired from Ukraine, meaning that the "defensive response time" of Russia, WHEN FIRED FROM UKRAINE, will be reduced and response can become impossible, if such time is too short), than one fired from Turkey.

Now, the Emir's houseboy told Air Peace to delay the flight from Lagos to Kano since Air Peace was the cause of the delay from Gambia to Lagos, Air Peace refused.

Just imagine!
So, Air Peace should cause A SECOND, unnecessary delay just to wait for the Emir?
What about those who will be delayed unnecessarily, in that second flight, wont they also miss their next flight?

Ideally, airlines are not meant to delay or cancel flights without tendering apologies to their customers, just that we overlook too many things in Nigeria.

From the look of things, the Emir's cousin is a pilot and he knows the rules which he can use against Allen Onyema's Air peace and get the airline sanctioned, so the ideal thing would be for Air peace management to tender the apology to not only the Emir but everyone affected.

Then he should go to Court and File his charges against Air Peace instead of constituting a NUISANCE on Social Media and issuing threats to Air Peace and their Customers or was he the only person that was delayed.

He can even withdraw their Patronage of Air Peace or is it by force he and his Emir must enter Air Peace or is he the first failed Pilot?

Russia believes that it is the EU and America, through NATO, that are brainswashing Ukraine to misbehave but it will make their Comedian President see some sense, when Russia destroys all the Weapons they depends on, while ensuring minimal casualty, except from the Neo-Nazis who have been killing Ethnic Russians in the Dombas Region, Poroshenko and Zelensky being one of these Neo-Nazis.

where did you get all this half info from ? You’re less informed bobo , AMERICA approved 600m$ military assistance to Ukraine. And Were you with zelensky to know he didn’t pick up call ? Lol , naija international politics analyst grin

You are making up numbers!
America never approved $600M for Ukraine in one go.
Before the "military operation", they provided $250M worth of Arms to Ukraine
On Saturday, they provided $350M worth of Arms. Maybe that is what you added up to arrive at $600M.

As for Zelensky, l dont need to be with him, to know he has gone into hiding.
Since you are one of the "not so smart Nigerians" that swallow Western Propaganda, you are excused for not being able read in-between the lines.
But let me give you a Clue:
Go and watch all the Video of Zelensky's address to his Nation BEFORE the Invasion, DURING the Invasion and the RECENT videos, as from SATURDAY MORNING. Look at the Backgrounds and you will notice a striking difference from Saturday Morning, when Zelensky went AWOL.
But the greatest giveaway was when he had to go and put a Poster of the Govt House behind himself, to make it look like he was speaking from the front of the Govt House in Kiev (but we could see that his picture was super-imposed on the picture of the building grin grin )

But that is not even important, l dont expect a President to be at the forefront of a fire fight but what l dont like is the Pretense and propaganda, when he said: "We will fight together to defend Kiev, I AM HERE (in Kiev) and not going anywhere".
That is blatant lie and deception to Ukranians.

Okay, Sunday night is coming soon.
Last week, you guys swore the intelligence report warning that Putin would be invading Ukraine was Western Propaganda but here you are a week later discussing the invasion you swore was fake.

Naaah!
Relax and think about it.
America has predicted that Russia will invade Ukraine, Three times and it did not happen. grin
Is that what you call "accurate intelligence"? Why did those date fail?
America was just playing a game of PREEMPTION, designed to prevent the Invasion that they dont know when it will happen.

Now, what is the event that triggered that invasion and was American intelligence able to predict it?
To answer that, you will need to go back 8yrs, to the Minsk Agreement and all the steps Russia has taken, to make sure that the agreement was honored by Ukraine.
In summary, the trigger for Russia to invade, was the "Declaration of Independence, by Luganks and Donesk Republics (Dombas) and this also has to do with the behaviour of Ukranian Govt towards those breakaway regions, since 2014.
Russia just have to invade, to prevent another massacre of Ethnic Russians, otherwise, Ukraine was ready to unleash its full military force on them, for daring to declare themselves Sovereign States.

But if the American Intelligence was as good as you claim, they should have veeb able to predict the Date and the Trigger .. and then prepare Ukraine for the fall out, so that Russia could not invade. undecided grin grin

The Kremlin announced that Putin is sending a team to negotiate instead of crushing Ukraine like you guys said he would. Is that fake news and Western Propaganda too? The Moscow Times is in Russia, not the West. Why is big bad Putin wanting to negotiate?

Old News!
That was as at Friday Morning.
The Ukrainian President asked to change the venue of the Meeting to Poland, instead of Minsk.
After that, he refused to pick up his phone to conclude on the arrangements, after speaking with President Putin, who obviously disagreed with such posture, America wants the war to continue (they immediately provided $350M worth of Weapons to Ukraine).

Meanwhile, Russia paused the assault on friday, to allow for negotiations but seeing that Zelensky has changed his mind, Russia has resumed and is all out to take Kiev before Sunday night.

Psady:
That's right, Russia still trying to minimise damages, they have their target and that's their aim, that zelensky is a noise maker using the lives of his country men to cruise, I just pray the very innocent one's leaves the country before things turn worse.

It is very sad.
By issuing out Guns to Civilians, to shoot at Russian Soldiers, he is turning them to "Enemy Combatants" and the way Soldiers treat such situation, is different from how they treat Civilians!
Imagine a Carpenter drawing a gun on a Russian Special Forces Soldier, is that not just Suicide?
President Zelensky has also asked his forces to embed themselves among Civilians and fire at Russian soldiers, showing he doe snot care about the safety of his People meanwhile, he is holed up somewhere very safe, with reports saying he is safely hiding in Poland!

But so far, Russia has shown maturoty, knowing that this is a war instigated between brothers, by outsiders.
Russia is strong enough to level Kiev within 24hrs, if it wants to really go all out to take over the country but that is not its aim.
America or NATO will not interfere with Boots on the Ground but will keep pouring weapons into the conflict, to keep it going, while Ukrainians are dying in numbers.
European countries are afraid of the military Power of Russia, it is too powerful for them, so they hide behind USA/NATO so, they are on one hand, happy to see a war between US and Russia, at least it will degrade Russian strength or possible cripple it.

Unfortunately,, Ukraine has allowed itself to the "the Grass" that Two Elephants fight on! It wont end well at all.

AchalugoNwa:
na wa ooo
I don't even know what to believe again

Hear your News from various sources, dont limit yourself to the Propaganda dished out on MSM like CNN and most of these Western Media.
In addition to then, listen to RT News, CGTN, Aljazeera News,

In between all these, if you keep an open mind, you will be able to decipher the Truth.
also, trace the problem back a bit, for example,
- how did US or NATO come to have a hold on Ukraine?
- What happened to the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED Ukrainian President called Yanokovich, IN 2014?
- Who are the Arzov Battallions? What is their role in Govt and how was such organisation formed and to waht purpose?
- Why is the US and NATO so fixated on "saving" Ukraine?
- What is the Minsk1 and 2 Agreements between Ukraine, Germany, France and Russia, concerning the area of Dombas, in Eastern Ukraine? Why was it not implemented b Ukrainian Govt?
- Why are the European nations following the dictates of the US, despite the fact that their US-dictated Sanctions on Russia, is hurting their economies so much, while enriching the US?

These are some of the questions Nigerians should be interested in, not just blindly taking sides or acting on the propaganda of MSM.
It is very important for everyone of us to seek and know the truth in a conflict situation so that they dont use Propaganda to confuse us,

Good news. Dead or alive, they remain heroes.

But their clueless President Zelensky already awarded "medals" to their dead bodies! grin grin
That Comedian President should have sense to know that he should not be using the life of his service men to do Propaganda News.

Russia acted like a real, world Power, by ensuring the safety of the Ukrainian soldiers POW, if tables were turned and it was those Ukranian Nazi butchers that captured Russian soldiers, they would butcher them in the most inhuman method, like Herdsmen do to Nigerians.
