FERNANDEZISBACK:
Disgrace on Putin and his nairaland puppet..look how he's been displayed like a d*g..
It's such a pity that Putin didn't think thrice before invading..he made a very big mistake he will forever regret..

CSTRR:
Putin miscalculated, and America is licking their lips.

They have helped America to unite with Europe.
Something that has become an increasing headache for US presidents.

They have forced Germany to raise defense spending above 2%.
Something that Donald trump have been praying for all through his tenure.

They have destroyed the nodesteam 2 project.
Something that America have wanted all this while but couldn't do anything about.

They have proven the relevance of NATO in the 21st century and reinforcing American relevance to Europe.

American policy makers would be secretly thankful and rejoicing for winning without actually fighting.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
This is serious tho..
Putin put your ego and pride down then tell your army to retreat..stop hurting your economy cos of your selfish interest..
Stop listening to your puppets on here who are hyping you..

I pity the average Russians who are in tears right now..most are really feeling the heat...
You deserve what's happening to you cos no sane being will act the way you did..
Some said Ukraine will fall by Sunday (DoggoneBoy) and some others ...but here they are still standing firm ambushing and taking Russia soldiers swiftly..

Where are Putin's puppet who said the sanction has no effect on Russia's economy?let's see how they plan on surviving this heavy calamity on them..
We don't want any terrorist or bloody dictators in our time..Archduke Ferdinand..Hitler.. Saddam Hussein... and some other monster taught the world a lesson and the west won't want any of those nonsense to repeat itself..

Enough of all this Russia/Ukraine war. People are dying in the ongoing Northeast war, northwest banditry, IPOB madness and Ethiopia at the horn of Africa. I mean hundred of thousands deaths. What have we done, no discussion,no wide media publicity etc.
Let's look inwards

If there's no wheat then we have an alternative. We can use Cassava. It will also boost our local production. Our local farmers from the North will make more money.

To put it bluntly, Putin is operating on borrowed time.

The modernization of the Russian military has happened by taking huge loans via 2 semi-governmental institutions (Vnesheconombank, which acts as an independent development bank and Promsvyazban, which services around 70% of Russia's military defence contracts), thus not weighting on the limited state's budget. Now these 2 entities will be completely frozen out of Western capital markets.

The mix of Western sanctions includes financial sanctions (currently targeting over 80% of the Russian banking sector), export control actions (for example Western companies are barred from selling modern tech, semiconductors etc to Russia and its allies) and personal sanctions (Putin's close allies and their families, the Duma's members etc).

Today, first day of the crisis, the Russian market opened up at -30% and the central bank had to massively intervene to avoid a collapse of the ruble (which is underway anyway, reaching 89.60 rubles to 1$), with further interventions likely to be required.

To sum it up, Russia's economy will be heavily hit by the sanctions, its people (already suffering from a weak economy) will suffer even more, and with its main military revenue sources blocked, it is highly unlikely Russia will be able to maintain a military edge for long, with some even calling this the Kremlin's swan song (I do not believe this for a second, but it's true that they will be severely weakened).

Putin is acting on borrowed time. He knows it, the West knows it, and he knows that his enemies know it.

In the medium-long term this little war will have costed Russia x10, x100 times more than what they gained.

Sanctions might not make for big news, but they have the power to throw a country in terminal economic decline. Enjoy your famine, Russians.

Irrelevant cos they will be out in less than a week and a pro-russian government installed in Kiev. America will run away with their tails between their coward legs

Halo22:
I thought America said they were wadding into the situation for solution. Please other world powers should put hands in brokering peace between the two countries as I am afraid it could cripple the economy of 3rd world countries like Nigeria.
