In 2003, the American-led coalition attacks Iraq, a country 10,000 kilometers away from the United States.

The coalition has assembled an army of around 310,000 soldiers, of which only 160,000 are taking part in the invasion. Iraq has nearly 540,000 active soldiers, 70,000 soldiers of the Revolutionary Guard, plus tens of thousands of soldiers from other military and paramilitary units.

Within a month, the coalition wins the war, smashes Iraqi troops and conquers Baghdad. Saddam Hussein's government is dissolved and the country is under coalition occupation. A pro-Western government is established in Iraq.

The coalition loses 196 soldiers, plus 551 soldiers are injured.




In 2022, Russia attacks Ukraine, a country that is practically surrounded by Russia and Belarus. Kyiv is located 200 kilometers from the Russian border.

Russia has an army of over one million active soldiers, of which about 200,000 have been sent to fight Ukraine. Ukraine alone has about 250,000 soldiers, of which only 90,000 are involved in the defense of the country in the initial stages of the invasion.

After 6 months of fighting, Russia still has not managed to defeat Ukraine. Most of the country is still independent, and the Ukrainian government enjoys great support both among the Ukrainian population and internationally.

An estimated 60,000 - 80,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded so far. World power indeed




This is the comparison between the world's first and "second" armies

I don’t know who tagged Russia a world power. There’s only one world power and that’s the US of A.
USSR was a world power not Russia.
Russia is a regional power.

shogsman:
The US don't have to because it bosses NATO and the west around, do you see how Europe is freezing itself to death because of sanctions imposed on Russia by USA.
They are paying 4 times more for gas from china ,which china bought from Russia.

Most of your post that I’ve been reading today are not credible, tune it down please.

EU nation and the US declared sanction on Russia not US and NATO.

No country was forced to enforce the sanction, some EU countries are still buying gas directly from Russia including Germany… the biggest economy in Germany. So nobody forced anybody to ban everything Russia, even US still buy uranium from Russia and still use its rocket to transport astronauts until space X get the full green light.

shogsman:
According to westerners it makes them a traitor cos they're supposed to hate Russia and not have anything to do with them

You assumed so, they only see it as betrayal if it’s a military support they were requesting. Like the guy above me said, NATO is not an economic alliance.

Despite the war, the US is still importing raw materials from Russia and never stop doing business with China despite their Wahala in the South China Sea.

shogsman:
And who do you think inherited the unlimited stockpile of USSR and wtf are they still recruiting and preparing for war even though the USSR Is no more, oh I know,to fight BOKO HARAM

Again; NATO was CREATED for USSR, not Russia. NATO exist before Russia as a country. When USSR broke, even Russia requested twice to join NATO since USSR is no more.

Inherited? All USSR members share the stockpile. Some got more than others, and some even sold theirs for money to other country.

shogsman:
I saw a funny thread here about if Russia can actually win in Ukraine and I just laughed because of how stupid it sounds,the question should be if Ukraine actually have a chance in hell.
Russia is not even fighting up to minimum capacity in Ukraine, it's used approximately less than 4% of it's 3.5million strong army without any notable mobilization or conscription and it's already controlled 30% of Ukraine.

Nobody with an actual brain can think Ukraine will win Russia.
If Russia declares war on Ukraine today and mobilize troops Ukraine won't last one month before it turns into a pile of crap
-A country has over 12,000 tactical nuclear weapons
-6,000 nuclear weapons
-the beautiful pantsir missile hell ball
-an army of 3.5million
-almost 30,000 tanks
-krasuka electronic warfare system specifically built to scramble everything electronic you have before bombing you to hell
-self propelled artillery numbering in the tens of thousands
-hypersonic missiles
-hybrid missiles
-dozens of nuclear powered submarines like the yaen class subs that was designed to deploy nuclear weapons with the sole aim of sinking aircraft carriers
-air force with over 5,000 aircrafts
thousands of suicide drones
-tens of thousand of recon drones
-avangard hypersonic glide vehicles that can travel faster than the speed of sound and deploy nukes capable of destroying a whole country at once
-tupolev tu stealth bombes than can nuke your country without your radar detecting it
-100s of battle ships like the mighty Kirov battle cruiser that can release hell on you from a continent away.
-Literarily millions of missiles.
Russia literarily used a whole city for weapons storage that's how crazy they are.the
You lots really need to read up and study.

USA had to create NATO an alliance of over 30 countries to fight only Russia, if that doesn't tell you how powerful this people are , you're dumb.

Russians at home don't know anything about the war in Ukraine that's how little resources used in Ukraine are, kalingrad alone holds more weapons than most EU COUNTRIES.

So if you think Ukraine can win a real war with Russia you're stoopid

NATO was created to counter USSR not Russia.

Karemarealty288:
Russia was never a super power, USSR was but not Russian Federation. Super power is not only ownership of nuclear weapons or large army. Your economy, education, health status all come to play. Quality of life of citizens too and freedoms.
Russia is a regional power not super power.

I’ve said this many times but people here will continue to tell me that “Russia = USSR and they inherited the super power status”

Russia is a regional power, Russia is not USSR period.

laiperi:
Another confused soul.

If you only realize how a few African Americans have turned Akata into a storm in a tea cup as a weapon against Africans as if they did not name themselves Black Panthers.

All to delegitimize Uju Anya for using that word years ago.

Hahaha you’re the confusionist here.
Simple question; your post - are you telling or asking

laiperi:
African Youth are now calling one another Niga while African Americans reject Akata but proudly call themselves Black Panther.

No difference between Akata and Black Panther. But once objection is raised, respect it.

Are you asking or telling ? My confusion is confused.

LegendHero:
Nice one pastor.

—If 90% of Igbo voted Atiku in 2019.

—Atiku is also currently contesting, but all of them are now saying they will vote for Obi simply because he is Igbo.

—Then why can’t a Yoruba vote for Tinubu because he is Yoruba too?

God bless this pastor. Those lunatics shouting Yoruba Muslim/Christian can cry blood.

God bless you!
You can’t keep giving Yoruba Muslim/Christian and complain about this.

That being said, there are younger Yoruba, Hause and Ibo candidates that have not been part of this rotten political system. The 3 front liner are/were part of our problem.

okeysoninv:
for those urchins who said Russia s-400 can't be destroyed and saying Russia s-400 is not in Ukraine.

Every weapon system can be taken down, every weapon system has its weaknesses but the question here: At what cost did it take them to take down the two systems, that’s what determines if it’s a gain or a loss. For example, If it takes 10 fighters jet to take out one air defense system then that’s an effective system to me. They are only counting their gains not their loss, Russian side will count only their gains to the public too and not their loss.

Again; Even Russians cannot say their system can’t be taken out, the question is at what cost?

kenex4ever:
Burna remains the only Nigerian grammy winner!

Others are squatters/attachees

It’s as simple as that, he’s the first Grammy winner for their original body of work.

You people are refusing to understand Burnas argument and calling him arrogant.

Burna is the first and only Nigerian to win Grammys for their own body of work.

jerseyboy:
Far better than Obi and Tinubu. He is a Southerner and a Christian and a REAL YOUTH. He has not a single stain against him of stealing public fund. He is a Professor of Engineering, a successful businessman. Why not him? He is the clearly best and most qualified in the field of contestants. If you are sincere about "in your suffering not enough?" and "a better Nigeria is possible", choose this Edo man. He is the best,

Nigerians don’t see this, they will say he doesn’t have antecedents.

Hashabiah:
This is odd for a statute that claims to represent several nationalities only representing one particular group of people .

Would you feel the same if that was a sculpture that represents Nigeria or West Africa?

Joevics:
You have no antecedents and it's risky voting someone like that into power.
Start from the senate and create laws that protects the poor. Then come back for Presidency.

And those with the antecedents what have they done to help the Nigerian “situation” ?

jimetagambo:
Modern America gave you a chance to type the post above on Nairaland. You are surfing the World Wide Web on your Android (American) Or Apple (iOS - American) operating system.

Millions of Nigerians, Asians, Africans, South Americans e.t.c rely on donations from USAID to get by.

Please educate that mofo, hopefully he learned though

onez:
I thank God for a man like Peter Obi at this point in our nationhood. For once we see a candidate engaging the citizens, talking to them and his plan and not through proxy. We can hold the leader accountable. Nigerians were sold a big lie in the name of next Level Manifesto through proxy. I can bet you that Buhari doesn't know 50 percent of the program in that next level documents. I thank God for Peter Obi. The bar has been raised.

In all of Obi’s interviews that I’ve seen, he’s never talked about his plans NEVER! He always talk about Egypt, China and other countries but not his plans.

Before you come for me, I do not support Atiku or Tinubu nor Obi. The three of them are part of our problem.

mycar:
No pictures of the said projects, they are all audio projects for now

I’m not a fan of Tinubu but I know for sure that Tinubu’s legacy in Lagos is no audio. Politics or sentiments aside.

You’re an unsuccessful RAPIST. If she didn’t say that magic word that reset your brain you probably would have over powered her and call it influence of alcohol.

Alcohol only embolden you to do what’s in your head, not bring new ideas to you.

Stop begging her, if you over beg her it would irritate her the more. She’s terrified and possibly traumatized by your action.

You don Bleep up on this one, apologize and learn from your mistake. If you deserve a second chance she will consider you and come around.

Nothing like a waste of time..
Happiness is not a quantifiable entity..
The same amount of time,you might spend it listening to music,watching a movie or reading a book..
So what makes your time spent worthwhile and his a waste of time?

Read my post again and show me where I pointed that “him or anybody else” was wasting their time on football?

I know English can be weird sometime, but read again before you comment. Thanks

Fred166:
Happy Sunday nairalanders.

I can't believe there are still men who don't watch football or know nothing about sports.

I was watching who wants to be a millionaire and this particular question was thrown to this guy.. I couldn't believe the guy didn't know the answer. Baba was totally confused and speechless. He even requested in using one of his lifeline options by calling a friend. Omo! I just dey laugh. And the answer is B. I have to capture the moment.

I can't do without watching sports especially football, boxing and wrestling. There's no question you will throw at me about football or other sport games that I won't give you an accurate answer. I know all football leagues competition round the world even Nigeria premier league I do follow up too.

Football is fun especially when you're arguing, teasing, defending, laughing, throwing banters at each other's club while drinking your cold beer.

Even here on nairaland when there's a live match update, I do visit the thread because I always enjoy the banter fans throw at each other.. It really fun.

Those of you that don't watch football or know nothing about sports.. Please how do you spend your weekends? How do you live your life? Is life not boring for you guys? Please I need to know.

I don’t watch it cos it’s just a waste of time. But I can definitely answer that question. You don’t have to be an engineer to have an idea of how a machine work.

CBN is mad! They always have to wait for consequence of their inactions before they choose to act. Dumb leaders, never planning or being proactive in their life.

AkuOlisa:
Yes Tinubu has an impressive records both for good and Bad. but the issues here is that he is too old with health challenges related to old age.


Nigeria need a vibrant leader and not someone that will spend most of his tenure in a hospital or someone that will be isolated And be used by the cabals as they deem fit because of his health

You nailed it! He’s freaking old, this is not the same Tinubu of Lagos, this is a properly old man who you should be chilling in his retirement home. Atiku and Obi, are not our messiah too.

Wow, it took 7years to make this decision and prepare the nation for what’s to come just wow

apache22b:
That's exactly how good governance starts

Obidient's urchins should thread carefully to avoid heart attack after Tinubu has been declared the next President of Nigeria

In terms of intelligence, Peter Obi and his Obidient urchins are no where near Tinubu

In terms of innovation, Peter Obi has nothing upstairs.

In terms of equity and fairness, Peter Obi and his Obidient urchins have failed woefully in that area .

Even in terms of eloquence and vibrancy, Peter Obi and his uneducated urchins are nothing but local traders in Alaba market .

Tinubu has promised us steady power supply and he's the one god has ordained to come to our rescue .

Lagos is the most organised and secured State in Nigeria courtesy of Bola Ahmed Tinubu . Check statistics for confirmation

@Falseprophet1 come out from your shell and tell the Obidient's urchins the truth.

Let us all be guided and do the right thing to embrace Bola Ahmed Tinubu the one and only fit for the office of the President

The Obidient's will never succeed in deceiving us this time around

Tinubu we await your administration

How much you got paid to have time to post this article??

What were you expecting a light rain line to use ? Solar ? Abi wind? Or gas? Yeye smelling

Pro Force ofcourse, putting the AA on top is a big plus and allows 360 degrees cover, unlike the other that put only at the back, limited to a 90-100 degrees angle.

SmartPolician:
If we are honest in this country, we will not dispute the fact that the government has to partially remove PMS subsidy to save her from huge financial burden.

If these idiotic APC members had allowed Jonathan to remove PMS subsidy, we would have saved this country a lot of money.

You have a point sir. But until we fix the avenues they use to embezzle funds or atleast make it unattractive to steal from the government, the money might no get repurposed, instead might get shared or stolen as usual.

Good luck!

Price ?

I can't marry a broke or stingy man who's not ready to spend money on our wedding day. Tufiakwa!!

Omo ijebu should please avoid me!!

You don’t sound as intelligent as a scientist though. And also coming from a hardcore feminist? Really?
This is a serious misrepresentation.
