This was expected but they aint doing much to combat this runaway inflation. These bastards keep printing money. We don suffer

The day the petroldollar system collapsed that is the end of America. But they won't sink alone many will sink with them it is the world reserve currency.

Ammishaddai:

"If the West thought that Russia would break or back down, “they don’t know our history or our people,” Putin said on the 21st day of the war."

I love this bolded statement. Death to all the capitalist pigs both here and in the west

Putin believe they are fighting existential war and are ready to do anything ti survive. No sanctions will stop that guy from that mission.

NOETHNICITY:
If am asked, between Biden and Putin which would I prefer as my role model in term of disposition, I would say unequivocally for me it's Putin.
I love the way Putin just dey ignore Biden they do e thing dey go sharply

Lol. I don't know whether it is their language or culture Russian officials don't really talk so much or sugarcoat words. Listen to their defence minister giving updates about the war, those guys don't have time to sound political correct.

princeeze1:
Same way Ukraine will also outlive Blinken, or was he expecting to live forever?

Thank you jare what a very foolish statement. Who will outlive Ukraine?

OneKinGuy:
Declaring neutrality isn't a problem for Ukraine. The problem is with Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republic. Ukraine has already lost Crimea. Am not sure they'll want to let another territory go.

Oh, but the people there said they don't want to be part of Ukraine anymore. Are you saying they must live under Ukraine if they choose not to?

Nbotee:


Some of U are funny... At what point did any one say Ukraine is winning the war? All reports point to Ukraine fighting for their lives and giving a resistance Russia didn't expect. All U Putin asslickers claim Russia would over Ukraine in less than a week. With all the hype Ukraine is still resisting them from entering Kyiv

Stop shifting goal post all we were seeing was the numbers of Russian soldiers killed to make it look like Ukraine was winning. Even till now the western media is still pushing that narrative. But they forget to report how Russia has been lenient with civilians and do not intend to carpet bomb the city.You guys really think Ukraine has a chance if Russia decide to use the USA route. In a week Russia already destroyed majority of their military infrastructures, control air space and water. Only fools were believing or cheering up Ukraine while they were dying, cities destroyed and millions fled. Why can't the foolish president follow this approach in the first place ? Why put millions of people through hardship?

A wise man negotiate from the position of strength not weakness and this invasion would only make them negotiate from the position of weakness particularly since the USA/NATO didn't want to intervene.

Human civilization is still a success in the making take away few progress we have made as human;we still live like animals i.e we live in the jungle.This is not a matter of right but reality, everyone became a legal expert of how it is their right to join any organization they choose. Today, Ukraine has learnt the hard way that their reality is not same as their right hence their decision to be neutral.A wise man knows when to fight it is not cowardice but wisdom.

anonymous1759:




Where are you guys getting this crazy narrative that Russians are poor ? It’s pathetic you don’t know the meaning of poor . You just spew nonsense from western media .
The one of the few Russians I’ve met who complain about normal economic difficulties eats more than 3 square meal , fridge full of groceries, still go on vacation, medical check up monthly just like the USA. That’s the average I’ve met that earns normal minimum wage . Stop talking nonsense enough of this narrative that Russians are poor . The average Russian is seen as a big man in Nigeria.

Do not argue with any fool anymore about Russia being poor. They keep comparing it based on dollars value forgetting that what you can buy with 1 rubble in Russia you can't buy it with one dollar in the USA. That is what you called PPP but fools can't comprehend that. I met a guy in Germany back then who has lived in Russia as well. He told me he could get a lot of stuff taking 10 rubbles to the super market as compare to 10 euros. Their economy might not be that great like of that US or Germany but definitely not in the league of any country in Africa. Germany has one of the best Railway system in the world yet this guy said that of Russia is better. And you have fools here who have not passed MMA shouting Russia is poor.

tammie24:
Sense don dey come your head small small

But Putin should bombard them a little more so that they won't even think about it again not to talk of giving it consideration

Lol. Russia is smart this time they will make sure it is documented in their constitution.

Victory to Putin!!!

We said it is not a matter of Ukrainian right but reality, some idiots who just want the comedian to waste his people lives think we are cowards. Whenever we cry freedom we should understand that where our freedom ends is where others began. It is Ukrainian right to join any organization and it is also russian right to eliminate any potential threat that could threaten her existence. As a wise leader between two powerful nations who are hell bent to seeing the end of one another, what do you do? You stay neutral but the fool choose to waste his people's lives and the hypocrites in the west cheered him up.

This foolish president should be stoned to death by Ukrainians for putting them through this hardship. The fool even tried as much as he can to drag everybody down with him. But thank God the useless western leaders are not that foolish to allow him to do that otherwise the whole thing will escalate.Russia was not joking and they belive they are fighting for their existence and the reason they are ready to nuke every where. Yes, if we don't deserve to live none of you either.

Victory to president Putin and victory to the world, we don't want unipolar world order where some fool think it is either their way or no way.

God bless President Putin.
God bless Russia.
Peace to the world!!!

mach7:
Russia is not "defaulting" on its debt.

The Russian Finance Minister said that since $300bn our of $643bn of its foreign reserves were frozen abroad due to sanctions, it will proceed to make payment on its obligation to Creditors in Rubles.

This is especially to ensure that it is able to conserve the foreign exchanges it has remaining for its own internal and trade needs.

The Creditors are to open a special "C Account" where the equivalent sum of the debt obligation is deposited in Rubles. The Creditors could choose to cash out on the Rubles or could decide let it accumulate until when funds are unfrozen and it could be exchanged for USD.

If this is not acceptable to them, they should go and meet their respective governments who froze part of Russia's reserves in the first place.

Note 1: Russians external debt obligation is one for the lowest in the world at about $40bn

Note 2: This is a called a "Technical Default" and not a "Sovereign Default" as claimed by sensationalist headlines. Technical in the sense that it is unable to pay due to technicalities.

Note 3: While Russia is able to actually pay back as it still has over $343bn left in its hands in form of Gold, Yuan and other convertible securities, it won't do so as this is a form of retaliation to the countries who froze thier reserves in the first place. Nobody is stupid.

What is sow, is what you reap.

Thank you. Russia is even being nice if they can freeze the assets of Russians in their country. Then Russia has the right to default as well.

Walkee:
if you know any fool that left Nigeria to go and fight in Ukraine you should call to see if the idiot is still alive. The hotel they camped at was bombed to ashes

Are you kidding me Lol

Neutralactivist:
Mr Javid also said the Russian army's bombing of hospitals "fills me with rage" and amounts to "war crimes".
When US bombed Doctors without borders' hospital in Afghanistan and killed about 42 people including doctors and nurses, women and children, you were not filled with rage. It was labelled human and technical error and nobody was prosecuted. What Russia is doing is condemnable and must stop. Now that Ukraine is considering staying a neutral state at the ongoing talks, UK want to put more fuel on the � by giving Ukraine the hope that they are going to engage Russia. It's clear that there are some countries that don't want this war to end. While others are prioritising dialogue, Britain and US have chosen the path of threats, pushing for escalation and trying by all means to get Ukraine continue fighting. Surely it unlikely to be for sympathy for Ukrainians but for experiment, to see how long Russia can cope with war under heavy sanctions. This war can be ended with dialogue but busy body Britain no want. They want to keep pushing. If not for NATO can they even dream of going to war with Russia? It's better to tow the path of peace than keep beating the drums of war. No one knows what will happen if ww3 start now. No matter what peace is better than war. Ukraine should go ahead and with their plan of staying neutral and end this war. Don't listen to this Britain.

Thank you. I can't really believe some people truly want this to continue. But what do these fools stand to gain seeing fellow human beings suffering

Comradewhy:

So you expect NATO to intervene by striking Russia when Ukraine is not a member?
Let Russia keep deceiving itself in Ukraine.

Aren't they the world police So they only intervene when it is a weak nation ? Why did they intervene in Iraq, Libya etc then ? Putin has threaten them with nuke yet do not want to confront him. But they are telling Iran that they will destroy them if they even think of having nuclear weapon. Anybody with brain can see that they are all scared of Russia.

So as the world police and custodian of morals they can't defend right against wrong

VEHINTOLAR:


Lmao ! Apparently, a kid ! This is how you talk when you dabble into a subject matter that's way beyond your elementary pedigree. You even made so many laughable unsubstantiated claims here just to buttress your childish gibberish. Some of you guys must really think what you're naively wishing for is some kind of Hollywood action movies, right ! What do you even think of that country,Russia that was accused of rigging elections for the immediate former President of United States -Trump ? Do you actually have a little idea of what that means in terms of the many capabilities of the Russians ? You're very funny if you ignorantly assume that Russia is all about nuclear bombs. You clearly know nothing about that country and you must have assumed that it is a kind of third world country. Why don't you read about her exploits in space exploration, Engineering, military,cyber knowledge, world wars etc ?

Now,let me give you this information before hand and I'll like you to save it for a reference later. Russia will attack any NATO's military convoy or whichever country's or organisation's that is moving toward Ukraine from any direction with the intent of supplying Ukrainian military with weapons. That is what will happen. I'm however convinced beyond any doubt that NATO or any other country or organisation for that matter won't make such move.

Biden was not joking when he said at the beginning of the Russian invasion that " when Americans and Russians begin to shoot at each other,that's the end" ! Russia ,as it is now,has achieved well over 70% of its set objectives in Ukraine and it has not even used up to 5% of its military capabilities ! You can take this to bank;it's a fact !

Thank you. I think the mistake many are making is that Russia is a very poor country just like countries in Africa. Lol.But don't blame them blame the media.

almsofgold:
These news are just one-sided to make it look as if Russia is losing the war. Go online and see the real 411. The western controlled media is selling a dummy to the whole world. What Ukraine needs now is support and negotiations, not propaganda

Thank you any intelligent person would have known that something is not balanced with the western media reports all along.

yrex01:
it's been 4 days since this happened. I never see Ukraine dead soldiers mass burial news here. is this forum ment for just russian losing wings ?

while u keep celebrating these in here french n Germany are currently urging putin for cease fire while ukrain president begging world for backup coz they can't hold much longer.

Let them be fooling themselves I don't know who in his right senses would believe Ukraine is winning.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzbYRzvr-rw

That is the comedian there and he acknowledged there too that Russia is not carpet-bombing them. They are only targeting their military or strategic infrastructures. If Russia were to go hard on them it would have been over.

godofuck231:
your thinking is so little , how do you think the Russians stand now in Ukraine, they walked in or they put the soldiers to sleep and walked over them ? The ukrainians lost lots of men ,the media is hiding this and you judge like they want you to , blindly

Thank you, I am still surprised how russian army would advance to the kyiv without killing any soldier yet the media is not reporting anything about their casualties. Smh.

Oghene1st:
Kyiv, Ukraine – Ukraine civilian fighters and residents in the capital are preparing for a major attack as Russian forces surround the city with troops and artillery just kilometres away.

There are civilian fighters who are ready to attack Russian troops but when they are killed by Russian troops, they are not considered as fighters but civilians only.

Thank you for your observation the west is crazy only their opinion matters. And something should be considered good only when they say it is good otherwise it is not.

This shows our leaders are not thinker this system they keep glorifying is not sustainable in this modern economy. Develop a sustainable and progressive economic development that will create real wealth. If we have quality education system someone with a high school degree does not need to learn how to sell rice and beans for 5 years or more all in the name of serving oga. He has the brain already all he needs is probably loan or setup from the government or bank. Many Nigerians have also learned how to do business on their own without serving under any master. Let's stop deceiving ourselves.

seunny4lif:

Russia speakers have population of around 160M
Making the largest ethic European
The total numbers of people that don’t like Putin are not up 20M.
Even many YouTubers that are anti Putin always said the Russia is divided into 2 parts
Old people like Putin while the young generation are mixed.
I have met many Russians and only 2 out of them don’t like Putin.
Go to Baltic state and you will see how Russians there can die for Putin

Thank you. As at 2020 if I could remember his approval rating was about 70% or more that is even more than any american president in modern history. Biden is between 30% to 40% at the moment yet the western media will tell you that he is not popular in Russia. He is well loved by his people ofcourse there will always be people who don't like him.But he is far more popolar than any western politician alive in his country compare to theirs.

olugabbie:



NATO is a military alliance on paper and not in reality. The article five (an attack on one is an attack on others) is not going to work in reality. Although it will work as a detterence.

Poland wanted to give Ukraine it's Soviet era fighter jets. The US gave poland the permission to send them to Ukraine. Poland sent the fighter jets to US base in Germany and told the US (the most powerful country in world) to send them to Ukraine. Both the US and Germany refuse to take the responsible of sending the fighter jets to Ukraine. Even the United Kingdom was silent about it. If the Polish government is sure that the alliance will protect Poland, the aircrafts would have been delivered by Poland directly to Ukraine.

All the US & UK needed to do is to re-assure Poland that it's security is guaranteed, rather than passing the responsibility from one NATO member to another. This is a sign of the loopholes in the alliance. A threat of a world war will break the alliance. No country will allow Russia to fire ICBM into it's territory, all in the name of protecting another NATO member. This is a fact.

NATO is powerful. Everyone knows that, as long as they are united. But if the threat of a real nuclear war will destroy the unity.

Spot on!!!

lexy2014:


I don't know about the role of d US and UK in starting this conflict, I can very well see their hypocrisy in the way they have been trying to end it or better still, get a victory. They have shifted goal posts, turned upside down every so called value they say they once stood by just so they can get d "advantage". I look the attitude of the UK govt toward abramovich. The UK govt has been looking for a way to drive d guy out of Chelsea because of his association with Putin & not because he committed any crime. But d same UK govt opened it's doors to Mohammed bin Salman the crown prince of Saudi Arabia to buy Newcastle even after it was obvious that this guy isn't different from Putin & who had d effontery to send his killer squad to kill Jamal khassoghi in Turkey

This is the double standards we are saying but people want this to continue. Everything to them is based on interests and not moral values Iike they preach.

Remman:
We all know that if it escalates, Russia will no longer be part of this planet and that's what the West is avoiding, which is why they're trying hard to only target Putin with $2 sanctions. If they were afraid they wouldn't donate weapon to Ukraine and announce it. It's like telling your child, i won't flog you but give a cane to someone to flog him while you watch. Their weapons differ. That's how to judge.

Some of you just come here to repeat whatever you heare without vetting anything. Are you aware everyone is scared to deliver fight jets to Ukraine? US rejects the offer that Poland should send it to their airbase in Germany then a Ukrainian pilot will go pick it, US said no it wouldn't happen. What does that mean to you There won't be any winner in a nuclear war and Russia knows they don't have the capability to confront the entire NATO they have acknowledged this, but going nuclear balance the war for them. Russia is ready to go nuclear should NATO join and that is why you see all of them being scared. If the war starts while they are faking useless international laws and their fake human rights that is only applicable to white people, Russia already nuke everywhere. Let's not pray for nuclear war people it won't be a joke. There won't be winner at the end.

Remman:
Ukraine needs Israel's iron dome... I really pity Zenlensky! But this guy wants to end Russia. The West's weapons has shown that Russia is nowhere in terms of weapons. We know Kyiv has been iron domed by ground to air missiles present there. This guy is seeking for the safety of other cities when he learnt that NATO weapons cannot be used by civilians or outside Kyiv since that's the headquarters. By now, Russia has known that Kyiv is a no go area but other places are safer for them to unleash assaults. NATO may be avoiding a direct war but gradually, it's getting to that point where endurance can no longer be stressed and a direct conflict will be the cause of the day. I just fear US as they make move to control the almighty cryptocurrency against their initial plan to keep it unregularised. This Putin's war just broke their hearts and chosing sanctions over direct military action against Putin despite having the most advanced weapons is a great respect they have for Putin himself and Russia.

Stop deceiving yourself this is not respect in any form but cowardice. Oh the almighty USA that is the police of the world that fight every oppressors now respect an oppressor Come on dude you can do better. Those sanctions against Russia already amount to war they are only scared to go into direct conflict with Russia. The point is there won't be winner in such a war and they know this. US only fight a war they are 100% sure of winning which is smart of them only fools like Zelenskyy fights a war they have already lost before it even begins

NGpatriot:


Ukraine became a country because of Russian's failure and defeat in Afghanistan.

Their failure and defeat in Afghanistan rendered them bankrupt which led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and history is repeating itself tiday because Putin's invasion of Ukraine means bankruptcy for Putin and Russia, the ruble is already less than 1 cent, Russia is already a poor country with an undiversified economy, the only thing they have is oil and once oil is off the table, they are done.

They can not access money outside Russia meaning no money to support any kind of important, meaning less supplies, empty shelves and your very soon, food lines and rations.

Eventually, Russians will kick Putin out and the way I see it, they'll send him to the Hague for war crimes.

Lol. Putin sent to Hague for war crimes you think Russia is Africa or Asia or you think Putin is a black man. Hague is only meant africans and aisans white people don't send themselves there if though they created it. It was created for your continent bro so that your masters can lord over you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDVpeWv0F6g

That is your masters confused about how to deliver fighter jets to Ukraine. Poland had to send the jets to the US hoping that the US send it themselves, but hell no the coward America rejected the offer as well. Lol. Nobody wants their land use as battle field. Yet some of you novice said Russia is weak. Alright.

Appleyard:


Both sides in war are guilty of propaganda. But why should the Russians resort to propaganda when they're tearing Ukraine apart? I should follow Ukraine chief of defense on Facebook, are you serious?

These people can easily stand on some of their own destroyed hardware and tagged it as Russian destroyed hardwares, we have seen this before in wars. Yes, Russia has lost hardwares and recorded casualties, especially in the fridge two-three days of the operation when they were treating the Ukrainians with kids glove. But since they decided to change tact and started real bombardment, the story has since changed incredulously. Ukraine today has no operational airfield, no navy, no control over their airspace, with most of their soldiers in the east and north surrounded already. Stop listening to shameless lamestream media. I hate this war as much as any same person do, but it's only an ediot that would believe Ukraine is performing wonders. It's just the Russian resolve not to harm civilians and carpet-bomb the cities that's still keeping Ukraine intact. Let's not fool ourselves.

By the way, how many pictures of destroyed Ukrainian hardware have you seen posted by the Ukro defense chief on Facebook?

Use your head.

Thank you for your balanced view this is how every reasonable person should think. Even despite many obvious lies that have been reported I am still surprised people are taking the western propaganda machine serious.If not a fool who will believe a country that has been surrounded with no control of their air space or water space is winning a war? They said Russia army is weak yet the same westerners are scared of confronting Russia even Poland is not ready to deliver fighter jets from their airspace. You can imagine how all of them are thinking of what Russia is capable of doing yet you have novice that have PhD in war telling you otherwise

Wannabenz:
12,000 soldier theory is a fat lie and a propaganda. Accusing Russians of killing civilians while the civilians deaths is not up to 500 while you estimate Russian soldiers death at 12,000? Lol.

Here's the map as at today.

Thank you. I am still confused how people will believe this media propaganda. This is what they called invasion and not even a war which means one is far higher in military than the other. Also, how come the people whose cities are being destroyed, millions fled and displaced are still the one winning? Just like you said Ukriane is on the defensive side how come they are the one killing and no Ukrainian soldier has been killed? In all these I am yet to see any Ukrainian soldier killed, yet they cry the most for help. The other day the foolish president said 5000 Russian soldiers were killed but didn't even mention one Ukrainian soldier, really?

Putin has acknowledged that they have lost some soldiers because of how the cowards are fighting using civilians as shields but when Russia strike they cry.

Ukraine has killed 12000 Russian soldiers yet Russia has seized some of their infrastructures and cities.
People use your brain you can think better than this even after many videos have been called out as lies.

In all these the reason why I still respect Russia is they are not deterred by the propaganda they focus on the goal. Russia has won this war already unless it will turn nuclear if NATO joins. Watch and see all Russia demands would be meant.

Victory to Putin the master of western foolish politicians.He has outsmarted many times.
Victory to Russia.
Victory to peace lover all over the world and shame to hypocrites.

For those who might not know what is going on or those who wants to know better. Here is a clip I found to be the most balanced view of the situation

MangekyoAlt:
What is Macdonalds doing in Russia?
To make more money through selling their useless products or to entertain russians?
If a food seller closes his shop, no be himself him dey do? You wey dey buy food from an before you go find other alternatives.
Macdonalds should be chased out self.
The Chinese will replace them with the speed of light
But russia doesn't really realize how lucky they are right now to have China. China is the only major power that hasn't criticized them openly. They still trade with them and are even looking to trade more.
If USA had meted these sanctions on Russia 15 years ago, Russia wouldve crumbled already. But by God's grace, they won't, with the help of China. USA and Britain claimed they will crumble Russian economy. Na them go shame last last.

I stand with Putin!

Nice one! Ofcourse adjusting to the sanctions would be a nightmare and will take time to get back on their feet, once that happen they will be more self-sufficient and independent just like China. Can they threaten China with economic sanctions today, the answer is no. The power of America is nothing other than the dollars, if the dollars seize to be used as the international currency that would be the end of USA. The world is literally financing the USA through their fraud Quantitative Easing. They are biting more than they can chew and their days are numbered. End of dollar is the end of USA.

We stand with President Putin!
God bless Russia
God bless President Putin

Brendaniel:
All these sanctions from sport governing bodies are total rubbish to me, anything that unifies people most regardless of race or religion is sports, if sports is now been used as a tool for war and division against human beings then the goal of sportsmanship has been defeated, are these governing bodies not supposed to be holding peace and solidarity matches between Russia and Ukraine and tell the players to stand against their leaders fighting themselves.

Instead they are taking sides by adding more fuel to a fire that is already burning, the worst they can do is to stand neutral without involving themselves at all, I'm so ashamed of all the governing bodies involved in these, they have lost all the respect I've had for them, I used to see sports as a unifying platform for human beings...

I can now see the hypocrisy attached to it because of selfish interests

Some of us supporting Russia this has been our stand.

ValCon888:
They wanted to country-shame him, but the young man stood his ground.
It's hypocrisy if he's not allowed to wear his symbol.

They brought politics into sports, so what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander.

God bless you for this this is the hypocrisy we are talking about. The west is the only one allow to have an opinion the rest are fools and uncivilized people according to them.
