Ukraine should surrender, people will continue to encourage them, till they are all killed

Civilians are being killed and raped in their own homes in occupied towns.

Why should they surrender when they’re holding their own?

I don’t think people realize how big a deal this is.

The Moskva was the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet and the pride of the Russian Navy. It also carried powerful S-300 anti-aircraft systems and was responsible for much of the air cover over eastern Ukraine. Also many of the ship launched missiles.

This is a significant blow to Russia, not just to their war effort, but also to their pride. That local Ukrainian made missiles could take out one of their most modern vessels.

Russia is pretending that the explosion was caused by an on-board accident but that’s garbage to try to save face. And if the explosion was truly that large, you have to fear for the 510 sailors on board.

UCHIHAmask:
You can't be that neutral! No,humans can hardly attain neutrality in situations like this,it must be that you are intelligent enough to avoid mentioning the world US/UK in your words,you also did not put any notion that would present the NATO nations with a Saint halo � on their heads.

Very well,from a humane and neutral judgement destruction,death and invasion brought on a sovereign state for any reason is horrible... But the world is not humane and neutral and we all fight for national interest,I say that the entire white nations are evil defined with the USA doing most of it and yet manage to appear clean in the face of gullible,our grievance is against the manipulative evil.

This is a hypocritical post, because you CAN be anti-US and still be able to condemn Russia for their senseless invasion of Ukraine. But you won’t, because you think being against US imperialism means supporting any opposing element, including one that is carrying out a borderline genocide in Ukraine.

The real moral high ground would then be to oppose any such action similarly. So condemn the US invasion of Iraq and bombing of Libya and still condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Lol @ the YouTuber saying that spraying money is a ‘motivation to everyone of us to keep doing good’.

baralatie:
You are not lying nau!

Slovakia without it's own defense system is a sitting duck!
Now if Poland has not received it's replacement for the equipment it has been offering Ukraine from the US.poland is heavily vunerable to attack

This is how you know kiddies here.

Poland and Slovakia are NATO countries. Russia wouldn’t dare attack them. The response would be immediate destruction of the Russians BTGs in Ukraine and the sinking of their fleet in the Baltics.

In the real world, I suspect you’re a virgin.

Make una read na.

Johnson is saying the UK can’t send some
Of their tanks to Ukraine because the Ukrainians are trained to use soviet tech. Give them US M1 Abrams tanks and it’d take weeks or months to bring them up to speed.

What they are doing is pushing nearby NATO countries that have Russian tanks to hand over these tanks to Ukraine, then the UK and US will backfill these transfers with more modern Western equivalents.

The British have given Ukraine top quality anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons that have kill thousands of russian soldiers. They’re even sending anti-ship missiles. So all this talk about Ukraine being ‘abandoned’ is silly nonsense.

GloriousGbola:
In 2010,i read texazzpete arguing with some dude about mass effect. I downloaded mass effect soon after and was introduced to one of the greatest video game series ever made. Now I am reading Kaycee7's advocacy and getting ready to search for black lagoon

Lol. I can’t even recall that argument.

Nice to see another old timer

Image123:
Drumming up all support in cash, ammunitions and kind is what?

That's support AFTER your idol Putin invaded.

Image123:
Do you think there would have been any war if they didn't swell Ukraine's head? Were they not independent before the war?

None of you people have ever been able to convincingly explain what you mean by 'swelling Ukraine's head'. Was Ukraine ever belligerent towards Russia? Were you that insulated from world news that you did not see frantic efforts from everyone to prevent war, including Ukraine?

Apparently, what you mean by that is that Ukraine refused to do Russia's bidding and become a puppet state.

Image123:
Who is taking a hit? Who's land, people and resources are feeling the heat and damage?

Ukraine And Russia. But we must never forget who the invader is, who the aggressor is. The battle has now been a grinder for Russians too

You people wanted Ukraine to surrender. To give up their president to be slaughtered. To have their elite, their scientists and their activists arrested and purged. To have their language and history removed and replaced with Russian and Russian sanctioned history. To have a sovereign nation exist as a puppet vassal to Russia, and soon to be absorbed into a new Russian empire.

All because you're in love with a tyrant and tyranny.

Shame

Image123:
War doesn't pay anyone, everyone suffers. The West also can't predict Russia and what they would unleash. Russia is almost as big as Europe and is not underestimated. That's why they are using Ukraine as proxy. Ukraine is foolishly taking all the hit.

Childish logic. Nobody is using Ukraine as a proxy because no European country aside from Russia wanted war. Biden did all he could to dissuade Putin from this course.

Now Putin don enter sticky sand for Ukraine.

Imagine saying a country fighting to remain independent is ‘foolishly taking a hit’. Must be drugs

heniford2:
One country in war with the whole Europe and USA that country is Russian strong country

They have their hands full just struggling with Ukraine. Throw in other European countries like the UK and they’d be begging for peace.

paafin:
For your information, Russia don't operate the Tochka-U missiles..

You ignorant clown. While Russia has developed the more sophisticated Iskander system, they still operate and use Tochka-U missiles.

Topmaike007:
that's what Ukrainian soilders are doing using civilians as shield and now Putin is doing other Wise nevertheless..

War is not good

Clown. That was a railway station for people to evacuate ahead of the fighting. There was no military presence there, and no fighting there.

Topmaike007:
that's what happen during war...zalensky could have stopped it now it would take them years to rebuild and lives lost can not be recovered

Stopped it by capitulating, giving Russia control of his country and setting his country on the path to full subjugation, assimilation into Russia and the destruction of Ukrainian culture. Not to mention the arrest and torture of dissidents.

I know cowards like you would take that option.

Zelensky has been on the negotiating table for weeks. Russia isn’t interested in any peace that doesn’t include taking huge portions of Ukraine.

This is as silly as blaming all the World War Two deaths on the countries that fought Germany. Maybe they should have just surrendered ?

Terrible.

I’ll be frank. There will be accursed people who will soon come here to claim this was a ‘false flag operation’ and share the Russian propaganda that this was an Ukrainian missile.

But earlier in the day, Russian journalists posted the missile being fired by their side, and were hailing the launch. Now they’re deleting their posts in the telegram groups.

Don’t be on the side of evil.

Betscoreodds:
You went to the country to verify or CNN told you this in the media.

Easiest way to know when you're talking to a poorly educated, poorly exposed person is when they can't stop talking about CNN.

Everyone else who isn't gobbling down the propaganda is accused of getting their news from CNN

Abeg leave here.

There are actually accursed mugus here that believe that casualty figure Russia is putting out. When their own news source mistakenly posted a figure of over 9000 KIA weeks ago, and which would not include the MIAs that will be declared dead eventually.

At this point, I’d expect their KIA count to be approaching 20k. And it’ll go up as the fighting in the East intensifies.

Gentlerespect76:
A window into the Kremlin soul; but the West will not be happy for the world to hear that Russia doesn't want 3 world war!

Kai. Your family raised you with such high hopes, only for you to end up so gullible and easily misled.

The country that has been talking about nuclear war, that started this senseless war, has committed atrocities and is trying to destroy Ukrainian culture is the one you’re listening to?

Kai

Sixfiguresmart:
Why do you doubt me? He didn't fire me outrightly but the hate led to series of woes for me. Like I said, it was more than a year after that I finally got axed.

One thing led to another. It was a build up. Minor mistakes are escalated and my record was stained so badly. Depression set in. I was emotionally drained and we both knew what he was doing before the big mistake from me happened. I couldn't escape it and it happened.

Bro, please do not doubt everyone because things sound strange to you. A dead body should not be an evidence to a crime. I do not crave for public sympathy cos it happened years ago and I have moved on mentally and career wise. I am simply writing my own history to bring awareness to what is considered strange yet claims many victims.

It is always questionable when it is not you or someone that is close to you.

The guy is 100% right. Not only can your immediate boss not fire you in a multinational company like that, but there’s nothing in your story that says you tried to bring this up to HR.


But you’re the same person with the story of how the daughter of your boss is trying to seduce you. Same person who a 14 year old is infatuated with. Same person whose friend’s wife wants to sleep with him.


Why do you post these lies on Nairaland? Do you thrive off the engagement? Why not pursue more reasonable hobbies?

damosky12:
You are not a believer (talk more of being a Redeemed church member). You know deep within you that you aren't into Christianity.

No Christian. No one who knows God and honours his church would talk like you've just done. It's disgraceful and shameful!

Did you say the same thing to Leke Adeboye that dishonored his church too?
Or will you let pastor worship (itself a form of idolatry) blind you ?

Man who says mainstream media will never carry the German pro-Putin protest shares a link from The Guardian.

How is the guardian not ‘mainstream media’? �


There’s also nothing remarkable about this protest. 400 cars is usually not much more than 400 people since car rallies are often used to make protests seem larger. And this protest was carried out in areas with strong Russian roots (people forget east Germany was occupied for decades by the Soviets).

the Finnish people had never been fans of joining NATO. Until this war started and now the majority of Finns are in support of them joining NATO. That’s exactly how unpopular Putin’s senseless war is.

Iamsalis:
Germany which is the economic power house of the EU imports 85% of its gas from Russia

Incorrect.
More like 55% for 2021 and 40% for Q1 2022.

Still a huge amount, but they can source for alternatives so that any suspension of supply is merely very painful, not fatal.

19 girls, e say na ‘massive turnout’

Na crowns up for grabs. Which kain beauty pageant when you have practically a 50% chance of winning something? �

Premiumwriter:
I guess you believe cases in court is judged by God himself.

There are numerous cases that are faulty with some people granted pardon after they have been executed.

And to think you wrote this with a human brain inside ur skull disgust me

Your strident defence for a convicted rapist makes it obvious you’re a rapist yourself.

Disgusting.

tonididdy:
I won't dare to cut my own gas?
You think this is Nigeria where the air you breathe revolves around oil.
It's a matter of time before they all succumb

Russia makes a ton of money from gas sales, and it takes time to get a new market. If they wean Germany off Russian gas, that’s a market lost permanently. Also significant leverage lost over the EU.

Russia can’t try it.

Putin don already capitulate on this payments issue sef. Because germany and France have flatly refused to pay in rubles

Iamsalis:
Germany which is the economic power house of the EU imports 85% of its gas from Russia and has also predicted a decline in its economic growth with about 1% this month. Where else would the EU look for gas, it would never come cheap as that of Russia's and I bet you,were ever else they look won't be able to meet their demand. India and China have refused to condemn the war because they are waiting like a vulture to feed on Russian gas if they don't sell to EU.

Think Putin wants to bring an end to petrodollar,What they killed Gaddafi for. If Russia wasn't a world power the Western imperialist would have invaded them with the speed of light. The proxy war USA is fighting from Ukraine is a miss calculation which has made others country's to think twice of their foreign reserve which could be frozen or "stolen" as said by Putin, an example is that of Afghanistan where US has taking their foreign reserve and want to share it to 911 victims and NGO's. This would make all country want to trade in their own currency.(the strong economic countries ooo)
I feel sorry for Ukrainian's who voted a comedian who doesn't know what world politics is and who hasn't gone to read the history of how USA who lead you to start a war and leave u alone when the wars starts eg
Georgia.
Been popular doesn't make you a good and smart leader,that's what citizens get for voting people like BUBU and zelensky .

When you said Zelensky started the war, I knew I was dealing with a grade A clown �

And it’s easy to see you’re getting your material from propaganda sources and you haven’t put much thought into things. Because if you had, you’d know that Russia can Ill afford to cut off gas exports to their biggest markets because not only would they lose a ton of money, but that would heavily incentivize these markets to permanently move away from Russian Gas.

Gas delivery contracts are long term deals and are firm contracts. One party cannot unilaterally change the deal without the entire thing being voided or renegotiated. And Russia doesn’t want that at all.

Speaking of Zelensky, There’s a reason why his poll numbers and popularity continues to rise and rise. He’s currently being hailed globally as a symbol of strong leadership, while your paranoid tyrant hides away �

Deadlytruth:
My question remains thus: what age is the dividing line be between too old and too young for public office? Didn't Lucky Igbinedion rule Edo State at age 44 and at the end of his tenure Edo State became desolate until this same 70 year Oshiomhole came in at age 56 to reverse the trend? Didn't Ibori become Delta governor at age 43 or so? Can you support an Ibori presidential ambition if he were to indicate interest today?
Didn't Dimeji Bankole become Speaker of House of Representatives at age 38? What impact can you recall he made as regards good legislation and example? What of Yahaya Bello who became Kogi Governor at age 45? Would you borrow him to govern your state? I don't really know where this sudden fixation about youthfulness came from. This country has largely been governed by the likes of IBB at 44, Gowon at 29, Murtala Mohammed at 36, Aguiyi Ironsi at age 42, Obasanjo at 38, Buhari at 41, Shagari at 56, Abacha at 48, etc and Nigeria is a tragedy today. So how come we are like this today if compulsory youthful governance is what progresses a country?

I note you cleverly omitted Tinubu’s age when he became Governor of Lagos.

While it is correct that youth alone does not make someone a good or great leader, the idea should be to elect good and (relatively) youthful leaders. Makes no sense to say “we’ve had some bad youths as leaders so we can’t ask for youthful leaders again”.

Deinfante:
this time, it'll be coordinated! If you must work, use other alternate Apps, if you're stopped and found online on Bolt and Uber, the consequences will be dire, that's why we are giving atleast 1 month notification so that we can all plan towards it!

So let me get this clear. You will stand on the road and stop any Corolla and search the driver’s phone? as per what na? Army? police? on what authority?

I urge any driver to run you people over and report your injured bodies to the police as attempted kidnappers.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
When I saw "entitlement mentality", the phrase which many ignorant Nairaland masochists use to justify their love for being oppressed, I decided to spare myself the trouble of reading your empty post. The right to protest and respect for the worker is part of the reason why many of you travel through the desert to Europe inspite of the many dangers linked to such a sojourn. Keep working hard to retain the 3rd world country status your country is ignobly know for.

I’m not sure the wisdom in expecting Nigerians to support a protest that is designed to increase fares for them. The OP is calling for a 50% fare hike! Why would you expect customers to be thrilled with that?

The same customers buy the same sachet water and patronize the same restaurants you use. And nobody is increasing their salaries for that.

So yes, it’s unsurprising to see the reaction you people are getting

You know the war is going badly for you when you’re celebrating Slovakia saying they could pay in rubles.

The leading economies in the EU have flatly refused to pay in rubles, and russia won’t dare cut the gas.

Premiumwriter:
seriously too many loopholes.

An innocent man is being sentenced to life imprisonment.

I mean, you rape a girl at gun point and she invites you to a party and you went?

No loophole here. It is well known some men are foolish. Take yourself for example. You see an open and shut rape and robbery case and you’re still calling the criminal ‘innocent’

And yet the government makes no attempt to arrest and prosecute the operators of these schemes.

They fleece people of their hard earned cash and still live like kings in their hideouts.
