Drenimarcus:
I am seeing another batch of Ukrainian surrender.. What EU is buying, i hope they can afford it cos most of these weapons are being either captured by Russia or sold on the black market. There is an array of Terrorists already in Ukraine, i hope EU doesnt have a terror problem when this is over. Uncle Sam has been notorious for creating more problems than solutions.

Having a terror problem I Europe is unavoidable, they should know this unless they are fooling themselves

With over 60,000 anti tank weapons alone supplied to Ukraine, there's no way at least 10% of that won't spill due to corruption.

They just want to win this war by all means that they are willing to compromise their own security

Moldova
Belarus (although tight border control is in place)
Romania
Hungary
Poland
Baltic states (mostly Lithuania)
An especially what will be left of Ukraine

Will all have massive security challenges after this war.

It's unavoidable, they can't completely control where all this weapons are going to, some will definitely end in the hands of extremists either by direct access or by acquisition in the black market

Also Russia is not excluded because it must control the arms being transferred to DPR, LPR and help it form its military and defences forces or it will have the same security challenge.

Whether there won't be a security problem is not in the cards because it must surely happen. It's just the normal aftermath of war

The Rouble will only get stronger from here on

As long as it's commodity backed

A GasRouble will only appreciate more

The West should ban Russian gas that will create an artificial scarcity and watch the Rouble soar even higher

At this point, no matter what they do they can't stop the Rouble

It's strategic I think

Russia has a yuan reserve but needs to build on it if it's going to trade massively with China amidst western sanctions, it only makes sense to have ample yuan reserve.

Russia is known to have trade surplus due to its high export over imports but most of its imports are from the West. although considerably low, Russia still imports from west and western align countries more but after this sanctions regime I see Russia turning to the east for its imports.

Russia will need Chinese imports more than it will export to China in coming years.

There will be balance trade between Russia and India in Rouble and Rupee

And trade with EU will be in Rouble

So it's fair for Russia whether they trade with China in Yuan or in Rouble as long as it isn't dollars

VictorUSA:
Those are outdated weapons and yet Russia couldn't crush Ukraine as expected.What if the US had supplied latest weapons?

What are the latest weapons The US could have supplied?

You need some serious education if you can't answer this

All will be used for target by the Russian forces or be captured and transfers to separatist in Donbass

US is sending arms to its enemies

Another Zombie talk
But am going to keep trying to educate you even though I know it's an exercise in futility

Igbofam:
[s][/s]

Your frustrations are real

Brain dead Zombie

I like it when you try to deflect ;

Igbofam:
You will heal. Na Russia dey collect but na you e dey frustrate

That's what happens when you're empty-headed

So this is all you have to say

After all the loud noise of 4 units of S300, you even created a thread and afterward boasted of Ukraine having 100 S300 systems

Typical brainwashed msm zombie always reacting with emotions without a pause to accommodate what the implications of their action will cause in reality

The useless 4 S300 just like the 5 useless T-72 that Czech is sending is inconsequential to reality on ground
Rather it is NATO testing the waters to know what their limit is and to see Russian reaction regarding the transfer of heavy equipments to Ukraine.

Thinking is impossible for Zombies, it's a fact that is generally acceptable. So I won't ask you to think, rather I would ask you not to think and listen to me; Nato is testing the waters to see if they can send heavy military equipments like tanks, air defence, aircrafts to Ukraine after the previous row and skepticism that surrounded the transfer of aircraft from Poland.

We are yet to see Russian reaction to equipments coming from Czechs but then it's too early to say

Otherwise, 5 T-72 pale in comparison to over 4000 armor Ukraine started the war with Likewise 4 S300 units (without radar and limited missiles)

Meanwhile the Ruble to Euro is now below 80

First it was US dollar

Now even much stronger Euro has fallen for Rouble yakata

Everybody to turn economic analysts and trade expert untop of Russian Rouble miraculous comeback

When you have capable hands at your central bank and your decision making and thought process are not beclouded by emotions


The poster above me said the recovery is not for a while

Wait until it hits US$ to Rouble 40 then everybody eye will clear

Dey fool yourself

China wey just close deal worth billions of yuan

Igbofam:
Keep spitting everywhere out of frustration. As of right now Ukraine still has over 100 S-300 air defence systems

Your ignorance is truly Bliss

Small Ukraine has been dealing with Russian military equipment (aircraft, choppers and others) like kilode

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2022/04/08/ukraine-is-losing-several-s-300-anti-air-launchers-per-week-but-it-still-has-hundreds-left/amp/

That's why I said you no Sabi anything

You have 100 complete systems and you're begging for 4 units older versions from your Allies

Or don't you know before the war Ukraine has better versions of S300 and scored some air raid victories with them

The Baba wey use ur brain cells fry Ankara go live long

Which version abegg

Kurukpe or Keke marwa

It better be dat Keke that has improvised armor with shukushuku at the back...it will serve the Ukrainians well
No need for Instructor

Igbofam:
USA are the master strategists and negotiators.

Russia is about to experience hell and the death of their air superiority

So US gave Slovakia her Patriot Missile batteries in exchange for their S-300 given to Ukraine.

I love the United States.

Noise maker

Ontop 4 units of S300PMU 1980s version

Algeria has 8 regiments of S300PMU2
Vietnam has 12 launchers of S300PMU1
Venezuela has several batteries of S300VM

Now that is capable air defence

Not 4 units of obsolete technology needing upgrade that won't even fire a single shot at a low flying reconnaissance drone

You just dey fool yourself no be msm fault say you no get sense

Stop making noise it's S-300PMU not even S-300PMU2 or other better anti aircraft versions of S300
No wonder they want to exchange it for US Patriots because the latest variants of S300 beats all Patriots variants

Even USA S300P version they purchased from Belarus years ago, with an upgraded electronics will still fare better

Because Turkey refused to send its S400 even with the offer of Patriots and THAAD and F35 fighters

Anyway Ukriane has alot of S300PT, S300PT1 and S300V and all of them, I mean 6 batteries and numerous units of air defence have been destroyed. what then can 4 units of S300PMU do?

Mariupol is pro Russian


The reason why Ukraine decided to concentrate their nationalist and Azov fighters there is out of scorn

Mariupol is part of Donetsk

Benny6944:
Op if you don't get it, forget about it.

You're having difficulty explaining what you post

MT:
You are touting the same mistake the world made about Hitler as solution - appeasement. You are telling a sovereign nation to sign away part of its land - Luhansk and Donetsk. Ukraine is a sovereign nation and should have rights to determine to be a member of any association just like Russia. Russia belongs to any union she wants.

We are living in a rule-based world. Russia can not come to start changing the rules. Putin cannot be APPEASED!

You talk about Sovereignty and you forget about rights of indigenous people to chose which nation they want to be part of

The Russian speaking East Ukraine has said since 2014 that they don't want to be part of Ukraine. They have the right to make such choice

The Donbas people want out of Ukraine same way the Kosovo people wanted out of Yugoslavia and Nato supported it

Benny6944:
OP
you have no idea what's coming for Russia. Usa will stop buying Russia oil by 22nd of this month, Estonia is no more buying, including gas. expect other EU to pull soon. so your point is nonsense..

I guess you've not heard they are now paying for gas in Ruble
Czech, Serbia, Belarus, Hungary Estonia, Austria, Vatican, Turkey

Benny6944:
Ask yourself how long can this last before EU's total withdrawal. All the crimes committed by Russia won't dent them immediately, but later, when Putin is already dead

You must really know the time Putin is dead as you're his corpse ripper

What do you mean by EU's total withdrawal??
Please explain more

My Igbo brother ke kwanu

We bin know

It's only dumb people that won't see the misinformations. I've said it here many times about the misinformation and propaganda from the West and it's kinda easy to spot


In other news, Ukraine is fortifying Kramatorsk, and Russia is building up forces to besiege Kramatorsk after opening up Izyum

We might just see another Mariupol in Kramatorsk

Only difference is, in Mariupol, Ukraine concentrated the best of its best fighters there but that may not be the case for Kramatorsk. Also, will that make Kharkiv vulnerable to attack seeing that Izyum is also a road to Kharkiv

So I get to see Putin's 2 ugly beautiful daughters because America imposed sanctions on them

True

Latvia had just agreed to pay for gas with Ruoble, same with Hungary, Serbia, Turkey and Belarus if this continue and more EU joins to pay for gas in Rouble I believe it will strengthen the Rouble more

As for Rouble being the Potemkin currency, it depends on the Russian central bank and thier abilities also the Putin gamble of paying for gas with Rouble. If it works out then the Ruoble backed by gas and crude will definitely be a hard currency and several central bank in Europe, Japan, China and others will start stocking up a Rouble Reserve.

As for Russia gas supply in Europe, there's no immediate replacement of over 150BCM yearly of gas to Europe anywhere in the world.

To replace Russia gas with either the gas from US or building a pipeline from Qatar will mean these 3 things
1. There's someone somewhere not getting their gas and this may cause gas price to skyrocket.
2. Europe will have to pay more for American gas delivered to them in shipments from US, including logistics cost. Europe may have to pay up to 4times more for this gas. And still US won't be able to completely replace 150BCM of gas that EU gets from Russia
3. Gas infrastructure and pipeline from Qatar will take time to deliver and no matter the route, the nearly 7,000km gas pipeline will still encounter some encumbrances, and transit nations(Most likely Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Turkey, Central Europe nations) will be paid too.

GasRuoble may work, and it will for Russia and help their economy in the long run

Current exchange
Dollar to Rouble 77
Euro to Rouble 83

You want them to do what will ruin them

Imagine EU debating about santions on coal, oil and gas the very same fuel that drives the machines of their industries, na to comot food for their mouth be dat

These guys are just being emotional and erratic. They are not thinking straight to even contemplate introducing sanctions on energy

plaindealer:
Why must the EU bomb Russia? Is there any reason to bomb Russia at the moment?

Ask Russia to touch any NATO country if den born Putin well and see how fast the West responds.

Even with the ongoing war in Ukraine next to Poland, Putin is making sure not to even misfire one single bullet toward Poland. Why?

Because of NATO's article number 5. You touch one, you touch all.

These village PuTin boTs sef..

Na so dem talk Georgia happen, talk Crimea happen now Ukraine happen
Russia is being reasonable here, don't expand nato further east.
As it stands Nato eastern expansion has been suspended indefinitely no matter the outcome of Ukraine operation (whether Ukraine retains its statehood or become balkanized)

Now e remain Moldova, Sweden, Finland....they are all watching to see the outcome of Ukraine

sapientia:
Well done Putin

Europe have been living under the assumption that Russia have dropped it's imperialistic tendencies

Putin just proved them wrong

This is the first mistake of Russia

The second one of attacking another European nation, NATO or not will bring war into Russia

Come back to reality brother

No European nation has the balls( capacity) to attack Russia if they do they would have done without hesitation

That's why they're all running to join Nato

Forget all the media medemede EU knows their capacity, everybody know their mate.

It did not take UK anything to bomb Belgrade, Yugoslavia during the Kosovo war

Wow
$650m worth of Rouble

Dar.n these Ruskies

Just print the da.rn roubles and service the debt


I said it here severally, that if US stops the bond payment Russia will pay with Rouble

This is it happening, EU should start stockpiling Rouble Reserve for buying gas from Russia or they could just maintain a reserve in their central bank and will be fun to watch

With the petrodollar about to be dethroned even the US do want to keep this on for long na from clap e dey enter dance

seunny4lif:
If Russia have not start the military operation and Orban did not get that massive Russia deal then he could have lose the election.
The opposition are even saying Orban knew Russia will attack Ukraine, that’s the reason he went to Russia to quickly get that oil deal and again the oppositions were talking about sending weapons to support Ukraine was their death.
Orban used that to tell Hungarians that the opposition parties want to drag Hungary to a nuclear war

True, the man use the invasion to ride to victory

Na Macron I dey pity for, e dey do middleman neither here nor there, the French dey wait for am for polls
