NATO IS AVOIDING WAR WITH RUSSIA FOR YOUR SAKE.
NATO's decision to not close the sky over Ukraine is correct. A shooting war between Russia and NATO should be avoided as much as possible and the way the US has been evading that confrontation is simply the right thing to do.If you think it is cowardice, it is because you don't know and this post will brief you.
Let me set it out in a very brief way.
There are three types of wars:
1. Conventional war - which is fought according to the rules of war: Don't kill civilians and children, don't hit civilian infrastructure, don't shoot surrendering enemy soldiers and PoWs, etc.
2. Total war - which Russia seems to be fighting in Ukraine right now and which it fought against Chechnya in Grozny. In a total war, you just kill everybody you see and destroy everything on your way.
3. Nuclear war.
On a normal day, Russia will fall quickly of NATO engages it in a conventional or a total war and Putin has admitted that much in a speech recently. There is no contest in that. NATO's firepower is extensive and its generals are top level.
However, the mismatch will force Russia to quickly resort to 'final-solution' tactics while it can - it will launch its arsenal of nuclear weapons. Lets be quickly reminded that since the 1970s, both the West and Russia have thousands of nuclear tipped missiles already programmed to hit targets in all major cities on each other's soil. With just the press of a button, those missiles will fly out and head for their targets.
But there are difficulties. Both sides have watchmen that are not sleeping. Every inch of Russian territory is under a 24/7 scan for missile launch by the West, using flare and heat detection satellites. Russia has the same system.
The moment a rocket motor ignites (most missiles are powered by rocket motors. Cruise missiles use air-breathing jet engines - pretty much the same used by aeroplanes, but they could be ramjets or jets with afterburners. Cruise missiles are usually called precision guided weapons), they know in the West. These missile scouts will start to track the missile or missiles and note their number, velocity and heading. They have about 10 minutes to confirm and reconfirm that missiles are being launched against the West. In this case they will mostly be ICBMs (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles). Well, despite the heavy name, they are actually simple orbital rockets that can get into orbit and then re-enter the earth at the appropriate location - above their targets. At this point, they will release their thermonuclear warheads or bombs (all modern nuclear bombs carry thermonuclear warheads, that is, warheads that uses a small hydrogen bomb to initiate a chain reaction in its main fission bomb of Plutonium or Uranium). These warheads are shaped like cones and they are about 1.2m in height with a base diameter of about 800mm. The real active ingredient, Uranium or Plutonium inside the conical device is not bigger than a football but they are packed with the horrendous power of creation itself, the power of the nucleus of an atom called the Strong Force.
Two things will then happen in line with strictly established procedures it call it Battle Order.
Once a missile attack is detected, the US will immediately move it's president, his family, Pentagon chiefs and a few citizens into a bunker that is about 2 kilometers below the ground and under a mountain. It is suspended upon springs so it can withstand tectonic forces from a nuclear blast on the surface. The bunker contains provisions for two years to sustain the occupants. (I have seen the image somewhere about 25 years ago in maybe Times Magazine). Reporters taken there were blindfolded and flown for hours so they will not have a clear sense of direction. The location is totally secret but it is suspected that it is Nevada. It was not dug out directly but a lateral tunnel was created several miles away to this subterranean site.
1. The West will launch countermeasures at these warheads. (Usually, they will be 13 to 17 on each ICBM and at this stage, they are in their terminal altitude in space). This is the threat level the American THAAD anti-missile system is designed to contain. It will fly into space and try to steer kill vehicles into those warheads and of course, the success rate will understandably only be partial. Some will end up successfully re-entering the earth and dive (under zero power) for their targets. At this point, the Patriot system will come into action and try to swat the warheads. The Patriot complex deals with missiles within the atmosphere.
2. Simultaneously NATO will give orders for its own missile launches and within minutes, you will see missiles rise from silos and from submarines heading East to attack preset targets. B-52s ('Stratofortress'), B1, ('Spirit') and B2 ('Bones') -all long range bombers will take off from the US, Germany and probably Japan armed with hydrogen and Plutonium bombs and head for Russia. There are also about 1,500 nuclear weapons on each side that are currently in the field, mingled with conventional weapons but known to commanders. Those are probably the most dangerous of all these arsenal of nuclear weapons because they are already and permanently dispersed in the field. All - everything will be launched within just about 30 minutes in this make or break final combat.
Everything described above from the moment one side launches its nuclear weapons will not take more than 45 to 60 minutes and it is all over. If the attack takes place at night, right here in Nigeria, if you look northwest towards Europe or east northwest towards the United States, or northeast towards Russia, you will actually see a dull glow in your night sky though you won't hear the thunder of the explosions.
The next three days or even a week will be normal although wind patterns may have become suspect. Thereafter, you will observe that the sky is getting darker and midday seems like dusk. That is the cloud of a global thermonuclear warfare.
The sun will be screened out for months and plants will die off. This will lead to global famine, first step. Of course, global trade is already gone and the world has reverted to primitive levels. The Internet is no more and telephone services have become epileptic.
Next will come the global outbreak of all forms of cancers from radiation carried around the world by the cloud earlier described. Death will become so much more desirable than life that those alive will curse their lot.
There will be survivors of course: those who have been hidden away in military grade silos and have ample supplies to carry them for about two years.
Those who just manage to go through about three years of life as foragers and scavengers and somehow have not been killed by skin cancer, blood cancer and other forms of metastasis. They are the ones that will populate the new world and begin to try to establish a new civilization.
Now you have an idea why NATO keeps avoiding fighting with Russia. It is simply to keep YOU alive.

Knowledgeable, you are! I totally enjoyed reading your piece! You should be a writer! Ever given it a thought?My late dad, who was a soldier from the 69NA batch; who fought for Nigerian in the civil war, did a tour of duty to Lebanon and was part of the ECOMOG force to Liberia used to say wars were the greatest evil humans invented. Nigerians who call the restraints of the US; and NATO in the face of Russia’s aggressiveness cowardly do not fully grasp the gloom realities that await us all should a nuclear war erupt between Russia and the West. May Putin come to his senses. May peace prevail.

This is exactly what hated does to a person!

retreat
Ven though Taliban was sponsored by US as is UKRAIN now, the government of Afghanistan-pro USSR didn't fall until after about threr years. And those of pro-west didn't even last up to a week under more sophisticated weapon and money from west. Isn't that a disgraces to the so called world police?

Russia retreated. I’d loved to continue this conversation with you, my friend, but I’ve a lot of fish to fry today. Perhaps next time. Take care.

Ibime:
They are not in the Cities. They are only sending missiles in.

I see! How come some Russian soldiers were reported captured? Those were Nigerian soldiers, abi?

Ibime:
Ukraine Guerilla warfare is not weak. They are waiting for urban street battles where missiles and such won't matter but man to man shooting holds sway.

Russia are yet to send troops into any City, they only bomb Cities from far. Any army will avoid going into a City against such a motivated opponent whose whole strategy depends on Urban warfare.

The only City Russia need to go into is Kiev. They will not risk street fighting in any other. If they take the seat of Government in Kiev, then Ukraine has to come to the table and accept their terms

So all the Russian soldiers, tanks in Ukraine are toy soldiers, toy tanks? Lol! Some Nigerians sha

Caseless:
Americans that couldn't win in Vietnam, Iraq and defeat taliban in years can't even underrate anyone for not winning in matter of days.

The source is daily mail UK , what were you expecting them to write?

Even to a toddler, it's clear that it won't be an easy ride for Russia. Why won't Putin with all the intelligence know?

This is purely western propaganda to put Ukraine in more danger. We saw attack videos of Russian attacks. Bro, you people should stop goading Zelensky. His military is being destroyed and he thinks it's a comedy.

Did Russia defeat Taliban? Did Russia not retreat from Afghanistan? Smh!

Women don finish? What a simp! Die for woman! Tufiakwa!

You are right but we don't really take Tourism seriously in this country.. What we can do is to keep on creating awareness with the hope that Government, individuals or organization with the means to carry out such project will discover them and invest in them.

Absolutely!

Beautiful, I must say. God’s blessed Nigeria with everything it needs to become wealthy. Every state in Nigeria has several potential tourism hotspots which if properly harnessed would become revenue generators both for the state and federal government. Sadly, our leaders do not consider tourism as a viable revenue generator. If the roads leading to the cave, waterfalls were tarred; has sidewalks and drainages; has colourful lighting and lighting effects installed in the cave to illuminate and also create kaleidoscopic effects on the cave walls, has well defined hiking paths so that visitors do not walk on fauna, and has a dedicated place for hotels and children activities, a lot of people would be heading to the tourist spot.

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!

You support the senseless killings being carried out by Putin in Ukraine? Would you say the same thing if Nigeria was suddenly invaded by Cameroon because of border disputes? Putin has already made his intentions clear that he doesn’t want NATO near him after all he has one of the strongest armed forces in the world. Why does he continue with the senseless killings? Hasn’t he proven his military might enough?

frog12:
I think this Zelensky is the most foolish president ever. He is fighting over foolish things

What would you have him do? Sit back while Putin annexes his country without putting up a fight? Although Zelensky’s romance with NATO was viewed by Russia as a threat - and rightly so, but an all out invasion of a sovereign country by Putin was as aggressive as they come.

I may not be a fan of Buhari, but I must confess he won my respect by reviving the train sector. Well done to him.

May Nigeria get better. May Africa become a competitive continent. Na my concern now. Putin, Biden, Macron and all dem big big leaders are all the same - selfish and grossly hypocritical. They don’t give a rat butt about Africa. They give you stuff with one hand and use both hands and legs to rip you off!

Omicron123:
Welcome back home, the country you called shithole when you left... Moral lesson; Let's do whatever it takes to make this country a better place

How did come to the conclusion that they called Nigeria a “shithole” when they left for Ukraine? I’m just curious. I agree with you that we all should do whatever it takes to make Nigeria a better place though.

China will not go to war with America because her economy will suffer; something the Chinese president would not want to see happen considering that China is hoping to usurp America as the largest economy in the world. May we not see war!

Dis one na story porn,as I'm reading my dickk was ticking, before the end,is fully erect, I'm begging my dickkk to calm down that is just a story..not babe

Bad guy! I swear my gbola carry head up, too! I dey work oooo! The op is a good writer.

To some Nigerians, there’s nothing wrong in some governor’s’ wives spending taxpayers money to travel abroad to celebrate the president’s wife’s birthday. If all Nigerians saw such wastefulness for what it is, they’d all be on the streets by now. So, politicians, governors, their wives, make una chop bellyful cos most Nigerians na docile mumu dem be!
