When push comes to shove and in times of war, those who have the technical know how are duly separated from those who have "paper"...paper becomes useless at some point in crazy wars like a world war....If you have the raw materials and the technical know-how, u are better off....The US, capitalist system is prioritizing the "paper", which makes sense in normal situations...A good example here is Russia refusing to trade a critical rocket component with the US, even if the US has all the money to pay for it....

Electronic hardware device manufacture is leaving US for china...though the money bhind the research and creation of it is still in the US....same for software...These are the sort of debates Trump was having regarding the migration of car manufacturing companies from Detroit to Mexico...Even if production cost reduces and American investors make more, the technical know-how will leave and with time leave for good.

China wasnt known for hardware research initially...it was just meant to be a porduction outpost for US researched innovations, today they have taken ownership of research, innovation and advancement of these technologies, same for software and india...The source code of your latest windows, IOS, android has more technical input from indians than americans even when the products belong to American companies....with uncheckecked capitalism and extreme focus on investment ahead of techncal know-how, it is just a matter of time before such a country looses even the business side of things.

I would b lying to myself if I say I got u...

Remember wot we toking about...? Dat US sanctioned Russia in 2014 because dey annexed Crimea. D sanction was boycotting Russian jet engines used to launch rockets. Dey (US)resorted to indigenous companies for dia jet engines... (Space X). But den soon after, dey ran back to Russians for d same jet engines.

So I ask, WHY?

Certainly cos Russians does better.

Their product is efficient and cheaper....(according to US)

Go and make your finding and stop making senseless post. Russia is rich and has more oil and gas than the United States...
Russia has more active engineers on the International Space Centre. The project was started by Russia before America joined. The first man to land in space was a Russian.

Lastly you must be high on pure water if you the state of New York is Richer than a whole country of Russia. Just go for a Brian check.

I'm not even talking of nuclear weapon, I'm talking based on history, what they have done in time past and where they will be by now should not be underestimated, they've had past failures and successes which I believe they would have learnt from and strategized better before going into any battle again which might make them more dangerous, I'm not saying they can defeat any country but other countries should be careful and not just underestimate them, they are like a wounded lion who lost a battle and went underground only to come back for a fight, that lion should not be underestimated, likewise Putin should not underestimate the west, my response was mainly to people who were saying that Russian military now is very weak and I was trying to correct them and some even saying our Nigeria military can stand Russia without Nuclear weapon involved...

Brendaniel:
I'm not talking about Russia against America, I'm talking about the war against Ukraine...

No nation built on nepotism and sectionalism archives her full potential. Infact most promising states around the globe have imploded in the past, under the enermous weight of their iniquitous history full of tribalism, favouritism and grand injustices. This is so, because for the people of any given country to come together and galvanize their collective abilities towards modernizing their state, there must exist a sense of nationalism, patriotism and a common purpose. This can't happen when it has become a government policy to marginalize, antagonize and deprive a certain section that contributes immensely towards the economic growth of the country, her fare share of national projects and recognitions..

A case in point here is the over dramatized Second Niger bridge. In the history of this eternally convulsing amalgam, no project has been so dramatized, so politicized and so unashamedly utilized as a political football by the close minded political class in Abuja, at the detriment of the welfare and greater economic activities in the South East and the South South regions. The drama started way back during the military era, when the aging bridge built by the then Eastern government in the 50s, started to show signs of wear and tear. This bridge was bombed during the Nigeria - Biafra war and was extensively damaged as a result of the endless skirmishes there. For a long time, the bridge has been the only shaky link between the former Eastern Nigeria and the rest of the country. With the economic activities going on in such wonderful places like Onitsha, Aba, Port Harcourt, Owerri and the rest, the enermous economic importance/impact of this bridge can not be over emphasized..

It's against this backdrop, that one is overwhelmingly alarmed at the disdain with which the federal government has carried on with this project over the years. Firstly, under Babangidas administration, a drawing of the bridge was made with plans for a rail crossing. But nothing happened as it rgards construction proper. Obasanjo came in and only laid the foundation stones few hours to his abdication of office in 2007, which was basically nothing but a taunt" to those who considered the bridge an essential project to them! The plan for the rail lines over the bridge was also shelved. Jonathan did start the project but suggested a partnership between the construction companies, the state government and the federal government as it regards the funding. Then came Buhari, whose administration saw the second Niger bridge as the most convenient project to use as a balancing act for his brazen but shameful display of bigotry and classic igbophobia.

The bridge will now have almost a dozen Toll Gates!! This will be the first and only project built under any administration since the coming of civilian rule in 1999, that will demand that those using it will pay for all bills incurred during construction! Ofcourse, it's mainly the people of the South East. There are many projects in the North being handled as we speak, by the federal government that have bigger cost outlays when compared to the second Niger bridge but whose total cost are shouldered entirely by the federal government, even if it means borrowing! A good example is the nearly One trillion Naira Abuja - Zaria - Kano road. Infact, Nigeria has gone on to borrow billions of dollars to erect highways and railways and pipelines to Niger republic, another country! Nigerians as a people will collectively pay for these projects in another country, while the South Easterners, who are going to be the main users of The second Niger bridge, will pay through their noses for EVERY cent used to build that bridge!

"Fellow Nigerians", Is this fair??

I'm very sure you know what one little bomb did to a whole city called Hiroshima. Just one. Now we're talking of stockpiles in tens of thousands. If you feel a nuclear threat is not real, maybe you're living in Pandora's box. The reason the entire world leaders are on edge over Putin's volatility and it's potential nuclear consequences, is because they understand what nuclear warfare means. I'm not saying we should live in fear cos I don't, I'm just saying that a knowledge of what is possible, should push people to advocate more forcefully for peace

Brendaniel:
I told some people Russia should not be underestimated, they think I am joking...

Jostoman:
So Obaseki and Shuibu thinks that those PDP aspirant that step down them for them are fools? If Shuibu wants to despirate to take over from Obaseki he should declare his intentions to run and threatening PDP.

mployer:
So why are they afraid of Ukraine joining NATO, when the chief NATO country is their neighbour?

nahr:
Maybe he will maybe he won't. Like a lot of people here have said he had been planning this for a long time. Let us just wait and watch as everything pans out in the coming days.

nahr:
I don't think that this is the goal. If Russia had gone Hiroshima on Ukraine the way America did to Japan then, you wouldn't be typing this. Things would have been too disastrous. So far I think russia's aim is to capture the said neo nazis and demilitarize the country without incurring a lot of civilian casualties.

tollyboy5:
Kyiv is surrounded successfully. The war will soon come to an end.
There will be a regime change in ukraine

Nbotee:
These Ukrainians have guts and balls

History555:
And u think with wat has happened to russia, china will not take measures to avoid falling into such humiliating sanctions. Give them time and china will revise its economic and financial policy from being export orientated to being a major consumer.

Daboomb:
It is a COUP. I watched everyday of it between 2013 and 2014.
If you are still in doubt, go and watch the Documentary titled Ukraine of Fire, by Oliver Stone.
You will find it on Vimeo or Rumble. I have shared the link earlier.

The President was almost assassinated, at the end of the day, after many of his supporters were either burned alive or have their head blown-off by Western-sponsored Snipers of the Azov Battalion. The President's Motorcade, even after he was running for his dear Life, was sprayed with Bullets but luckily, he suspected they dont want him alive and did not follow the Motorcade, he left in an Helicopter!
The Coupist thought they had killed Victor Yanukovytch, the Democratically elected President of Ukraine who was ousted forcefully.

Google What the US under-Secretary, Victoria Nuland, did in Ukraine in 2014
Google the Speech of former Presidential Aspirant and US Senator, John McCain, said and di at the Maidan Square in Ukraine.

You guys need to Chill and read first, then form your own opinion of events. The Western Propaganda is overwhelming, l know.

Loewe:
Yes, Russia has always been a strategic enemy to US, but everyone is now feeling the pain.

Gas prices are so high in the US right now, it doesn't seem to pay anyone. Although Nigeria might profiteer at this point if we play our cards right at the international market. This is a good time to make money from LNG and Crude oil sales.

Loewe:
While I commend the West's stand (support for Ukraine and sanctions) on Russia based on their unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, they need to know that not giving them a soft landing won't end the war anytime soon.

Russia needs a soft landing so they can have an excuse to stop the invasion. If they keep giving them sanctions without telling them sanctions would be lifted if they stop the war, then Russia no longer has anything to gain even if they stop fighting Ukraine. Putin is probably in regret right now, but shame would prevent him from stopping since there isn't any soft landing in place.

Diplomacy would do the West a great good at this time. If these sanctions persist, Russia would become another North Korea and would be a major threat to world peace. They need to give them a reason to stop fighting the war...

Jeromejnr:
Why don't you Google the history between Russia and Ukraine and the partnership agreement they made on why they can finally be a sovereign country?

And also do research on how the West helped to break it?

Also do research on how for many years Putin had been warning the west to leave Ukraine alone and take away their special forces from off their borders? And how how also warned Ukraine not to gave any partnership with them?

I am sure if the same Russia did the same to Canada, And U.S decided to take over Canada, I am very sure you will support them..very very sure.

Afterall they can do no wrong.

alabo1:
I tire for your ignorance. GOD! Only Russian rockets have the capability to guide the ISS into a controlled orbit for rentry. I await your refutal. Space x can send people and equipment to ISS yes but it can't perform the other task.

Fact: The ISS if it goes into an uncontrolled orbit will most likely drop somewhere in the southern hemisphere (I believe you know where Russia is?) You guys should post with facts not be blinded Western propaganda. Peace

Shoodboi:
To those who don't know, Russia puts more effort into the ISS than the US and often flies US astronauts to the ISS and brings them back.

Now, Russia is ending all working relationships between them on the ISS, which means the US and their NATO allies can no longer get to the ISS and do their part to keep the ISS in orbit.

So Russia is telling them to find a way to get themselves up there to do their own part of the deal to keep the ISS up there.

I Think This War Will Last Longer Than We Think.

We All Know USA And Her Allies Hates To Bow , And I Don’t Think Russia Is Ready In Any Way To Back Down.

The End Result Might Lead To A Nuclear War And Disaster.

ChangetheChange:
Russia has always bragged to have 900,00 troops , why isn't Putin sending some of those troops into Ukraine, but instead a world power like Russia is begging Terrorists/jihadists to help them take over Ukraine
Putin confused Nairalanders should come and defend Putin on this one

See how a NURTW branch chairman is giving orders to the number chief security Officer of the state.What guts.Is it not the government that owns the park?
Rubber-stamp sanwo-olu should take over the motorparks and hand it over to you to control as a ballot box snatcher.

Good one how I wish the ban may cripple UK Government, I hate them a lot because of their hypocrisy to Russia.

Some Britons went AWOL to fight for Ukraine.
