CryptoTeacher: Putin isn't going to try that. The consequences will be too grave for him and Ukraine.
am sure his general will disobey him on that cos that is reciprocal death for them too....due to human survival instinct. The generals self and family preservation kicks in immediately.
FERNANDEZISBACK: 12,000 troops and some will still say propaganda.. Putin is not as smart as his puppets think he is.. cos if he was smart he wouldn't have thought of invading Ukraine without proper planning..
Putin is very much stuck in East Ukraine. He can’t spit and he can’t swallow without losing face... The irony of Putin's crony regime is that they brainwash people 24/7 on how evil the west is yet all of those surrounding and supporting this invasion (oligarchs and the rest) have mansions and yachts in that “evil” and “perverted” world. Putin’s end might be a tribunal for crimes against humanity...
How do you stay in power for such a long time with nothing to show for it? You create fictional enemies and bombard the Russian population with non stop propaganda...
This is a poker game that Putin is playing with human lifes.. The idea is to divide and conquer.. that was his strategy for the past 10 years..create chaos so the internal audience will be distracted from the misery while they steal and plunder anything they can get their hands on... He is a bully and a robber.. Rob your brother off his land and resources cos you think you are stronger than he is.. I still have high hopes that he ain't gonna succeed..
well said but he actually did something good with Russian economy and a bit of military. Now...all that he destroyed in two weeks. Two weeks ohhh
NATO started scheduled military drills this week in Norway, involving 30,000 troops, 220 aircraft, and 50 warships, according to a statement from the military alliance on Tuesday.
While no mention of the Russia–Ukraine conflict was made, the drills involve “tens of thousands of troops from across Europe and North America [who] are training together in harsh climatic conditions as part of Norwegian exercise Cold Response 2022,” according to the alliance.
Non-NATO states Sweden and Finland, a nation that shares a large border with Russia, partook in the drills, the statement said.
“Around 30,000 troops from 27 nations, including NATO’s close partners Finland and Sweden, are taking part in the exercise, as well as about 220 aircraft and more than 50 vessels,” NATO also wrote.
Cold Response 2022 was planned long before Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, and it aims to show how Norway would manage reinforcements. The naval, air, and ground drills are held every two years over large areas across Norway, including above the Arctic Circle.
After this wasteful military campaign.....both Ukraine and Russia may not have a country to return to.
Even if Ukraine renegades on their promise to remain neutral... Russia will think twice before attacking again as the world have seen them finish. They obviously been demoted from Major Power to only Power
What I know is Putin has learned a bitter lesson and Russia will never remain the same again.
boyfrank: As far as his supporters is concerned (especially those in nairaland), he can invade any country and it will be the country's fault.
one thing I have learnt is , even the devil got friends. Psychopaths, murderers, general evil doers got secret friends. Only way they show it are when the let their guards down and from their reactions on faceless forums. We have cultist here, religion extremists (them enemy of my enemy is my friend), ritualist, corrupt politicians, corrupt uniform personel, hoodlums, bandwagons and suicidal pple ( people itching for a nuclear war). Also some people that don't have much going for them in life will be interested and motivated in destruction and general waste of humanity( they don't have much to loose).
So you see how such people could have handled Power. Some Nigerians will be worse than Putin when they got opportunity to walk in the corridor of power.
You see that boastful small Horn speaking with arrogance... shall be dealt with but not with human hands.
Realists: Hmmm, the conspiracy & hypocrisy of the west is about to end, with Mr Putin dogmatism. One button, one missile & all these will end.
# say no to hypocrisy & double standard.
after that one button... The truth is your life will still be the same as it is before your so called destructive enthusiasm...hence the reason you want a whole lot to be on the same level with you.
alabo1: Western Zombies. Always believing classic propaganda with lines like " reportedly", " sources say" etc. Is the FSB chief under house arrest possibly? Is it for this reason if true? Definitely not. Foreign intelligence do not plan wars or give such projections. Military intelligence does that.
It is amazing how every tiny news is constructed to show Russian failure in Ukraine. Where is the evidence of malnourished troops? One tank sinks in the mud and it is captioned as equipment failure. One tank is shot and it is reported as a battalion destroyed. If these reports were true why has Ukraine not destroyed the 40 mile column near Kiev that is shown everyday? Because they have no flight capabilities anymore! No problem. Like in Syria the end will tell. Peace
foreign intelligence agency play very important role in war plans oga....please listen to yourself again.
baralatie: Why is Biden playing out all his cards! This is not how it is played What if you run out of aces?
by now you should have known that they are following a template on the economy war. Am sure they have a template for every country. They would have ran the simulations for years.
Americans have got a lot of imperfections....but when you want to go against them... please be afraid!!
Empiree: who's talking religion here?. I simply asked question. Can you condemn Israel for bombing Palestine?. There is no difference btw Israel oppression and Russia. I don't expect anything reasonable response from Africans, White butt lickers. Slaves. Bunch of clowns. You are supporting oppression somewhere and condemned oppression elsewhere. Africans have lost their common sense.
This is why Africa can never upgrade. It is impossible. Africa is gone to the dogs so long we have crazy people reason like this. Imagine bullshit these foolish Nigerians are saying yet you condemned Fulani in your backyard but licks white man butt. Israelis you are seeing are Europeans
Africans need good orientation. You you are ridiculous
Here is Irish MP. He has common sense than Black Africans. You black inside and outside. Your brains are black and dead. You can't think anymore. No wonder white will continue to enslave you forever. Russia is doing exactly what Israel is doing. Russia has not even done 1/3 of what Israel is doing. Surely Nigeria is gone in as much we have low IQ people like these. I can't believe what I'm reading.
For over the decades, Putin was seen as a leader who successfully stabilized and grew Russia economy...and restoring Russia from just power to a Major Power. But over the past few days...he threw all those out of the window. Sending Russia backward in golden jubilee.
slowice: Putin might be so embarrassed by small Ukraine that he would resort to using contraband weapons..... Na there he go know say US na devil
US that already drew a template for this war years ago. Am sure they have plenty double agent on ground in Russia cabinet sef... to pop up a Trump card in last minute decisions. they must have ran hundreds of simulations by now. Am super sure that county would be full of surprises.
Putin should lower his demands and look for a way out of this embarrassment. But it's his pride that will destroy him. Just like Rauf interior that attempted to hit a King but missed. Now he is running from pillar to post kitakita....
If muslims did this they would be arrested at the airport and called terrorists.
But here, they seen nothing wrong with these people trying to fight overseas.
must you guys establish religion in all things.... Just chill...dont play Islamic war here. This is not your cherished jihad....am sure you guys are envy of Ukraine and Russia. You want to be be involved in this war at all costs. Them take violence do you ni?
HeroHero: USA, UK, are toothless bulldogs. Noise makers with no action. They are just deceiving Ukraine by giving them fake hopes while Ukraine are dying helplessly. The fear of Putin is beginning of w......
Putin's cousin.... Am sure you don't know what other major powers are capable of.....
UK might be a small country in size but are way ahead with advance tech. If it's by size... Israel would have been wiped out Long time ago by Iran, Egypt or Syria.
Their are major powers and also powers. For a country to be called a major power...its not by mouth ohhh...
Toktee: China is there watching with fingers cross if they dare invade taiwan russia treatment shall be there portion.
the Chinese are very careful now..... The probability that Russia will survive the sanctions is higher than China. They will implode due to their population and economic structure
Besides.. they have experienced how it feels like to live in poverty... Affliction will not rise again..
Alot of pro Putin here are not so deep with their thinking.
Ever since the ancient times..... Their will always be a super power at a point in time. Which most of those days...the ruler at the helm of the government are despotic in their administration. The civilized world can't afford to have another despot government like Hitler but with a nuclear weapons.
Do you think Africa will be safe if Russia, NK, or China are the super power in place of America?
A one man government would have destroyed the world like Hitler. Putin is like Hitler with atomic bomb.
I rather prefer a super power country that ruled by someone that is answerable to people and not one that holds both the executive, legislative and judicial Powers.
Americans are imperfect but trust me...you don't want to experience people like Putin as the world police.
