Emotions don't win wars this is just like Nigerian-biafran war.

Emotions will win on the media and lose real life.

While facts wins offline.

I will choose offline winnings.

The Kremlin mad man seems unperturbed about what the consequences of his actions will bring to his country Russia

You don't intimidate an alpha. It doesn't work

Russia is just taking things easy. If they want to go the western ways, Ukraine would have been reduced to dust by now.

Russia is humane to Ukraine. Maybe cos they were once brothers.

Iamgrey5:
I believe you are too young to remember what actually went down in Libya.

Libya happened during the Arab spring which claimed leaders of Tunisia and Eygpt. Nonetheless, Gadafi was stubborn and unleashed terror over his people rather than stepping down after 40+ years.

Nato saw this and implemented a no fly zone over Libya and supported various guerrilla factions fighting Gadafi with weapons. After a few weeks of fighting, Gadafi was defeated by his own people not Americans.

He was captured and humiliated by Libyans.

The problem in Libya started after the Various guerrilla factions that defeated Gadafi failed to agree to a power sharing deal.

@bolded, you ended up roping yourself and your white tiny gods.

What about the ongoing usurpation of Palestinian lands by Isreal, a situation that persists especially because US supports it?

You want them to tag you anti-Semitic?

Putindbutt:

What are you feeling like?

She wanted to hunt and still keep her dignity. Her DM will be filled up by now and she will do interviews for them to pick what she think is the best.

Women and games. It is their default settings. She wanted the dick bad but still doesn't want to look cheap.

kazyhm:


If it is, American doesn't need to be aggressive about installing democracy in other sovereign nations as they are doing.

Many national with a contrary system are even better.

Democracy breeds corruption and greed. So, yes, west preferred it cos it gives them access to the countries resources.

kazyhm:
So people actually think democracy as been practice in America or Nigeria is progress ?

Well, different perspective, different conclusion.

We were made to believe democracy is the best type of govt. Someone even found means to praise capitalism by calling it compassionate

Help2020:

You mean civilians requested for US help? Who is the head of the country again?

I wonder. Civilians asked for help. Who are the civilians? What gave US the rights to even involved in another country's domestic politics? And why did they destroy Libya when they only came for Gaddafi?

These pro-west people will always find excuse for US for their misadventures in another man's country no matter how lame.

phemmyfour:
He's right. How can you use what was done in 18th century to justify Russia actions now

He is not cos US never moved away from that act till now. Cuba of 1960s is still under punishment of their fathers, US never forgave them.

Very True.

That's what we are being taught in the University, That's how the word Illiterate is being used derogatorily.

Well I can't do much until I have the power to do so.

They will explain how our native Gods are evil while Western and Arab Gods are not.

I find it hard to believe that we have been separated from our Motherland Origin to a Foreigners Culture and I don't feel happy till date even though I was born into Christian home.

They call our Gods demonic but theirs is angelic and good. I know very well that one day Africans will come to their senses.

I was discussing this with someone like 2days ago. How to attack a people is to attack their cultures. They made our people believe black is bad. Now, most of us are trying to be white which we can never be, and we have lost our black ways. It means we are no longer blacks while trying to be whites, we no longer have identities, hence, the confusion.

juman:
Naturally nigerians like UK and america because they speak english.
I think thats affect him.

Affects many like him. They see the world through the Western prism.

I swear I like the forum because of the monetary and romance info I get here.

He has flooded Nairaland with the western media news, but we barely saw news about the Ethiopian-Tagray War.

It will be very wise that Nigerians stay away from this European Crisis, we have too many internal crisis to solve already.

Africans were contented people until the West came and did their damages, now see how our Society looks like.

I do not admire the West one bit, they damaged our Society to a very low length, Even my superiors I work with know that I don't like them one bit, but they do need my services so they can't ditch me yet.

I do not admire them too but many of us does. I think effects of neo-colonialism. Speaking of fluent English is now a measure of intelligence for a Blackman.

If the World wants to witness firsthand the hypocrisy of the USA, let Mexico allow Russians host a military base in Mexico. The US will go HAM ASAP.

Mexico won't even dare. Dem never start am, US don build wall and was forcing them to pay for it. If Mexico should dare play ordinary friendly football with Russia, they will hear it loud and thunderous

jamesversion:


Cuba doesn't deserve to be forgiven. America no be Nigeria.

Of course Cuba doesn't deserve it. If my neighbor can host my mortal enemies, then, that is not a good neighbor. Exactly what Russia is doing in Ukraine. Only naive and biased people won't see that.

Connected1:

This Nairaland Founder has no Political Knowledge at all.

The attack on Libya was in 1940 right? Abi the assassination of the Iranian General.

It's best he remains silent and don't take sides indirectly.

At all at all and he has been forcing it. Both local and international. He should rest it out.

Karleb:


Can you then point me to any section in the tweet that praised US or NATO?

I guess to you, anyone condemning Putin's action is praising US for the exact crime, abi?

Or should we all like you, gather to praise Putin for invading Ukraine.

Sir, you need to getat!

Putin is doing what any reasonable country leader will do for his country. No one keeps the enemies close to his doorsteps. Before you nuke me, I will ground you. Simple as ABC.

As for seun post about 1960. He was refering to Cuban missile crisis in that post. Before he made the post by trying to exonerate US and make it look like US have moved away from that act, he should have looked up the economic and administrative sanctions on Cuba till date. US will never forgive them for siding with her enemies even after many decades.

And what the hell is "compassionate capitalism"?

Karleb:


The beauty of politics is that, no matter how good your view is, there is an opposing view. It's the reason why political parties have different agendas.

The basis of Seun's post is that; the fact that someone else got away with murder years back doesn't mean murder is not a crime.

What right or moral jurisdiction do you have to question that?

The fact that US got away with murder and still getting away with murder? If US can do it, then Russia can. Those criticizing Russia should take a back seat if they can't do same for US.

helinues:
What's the scores now

The Western propaganda won't allow us down here to know the true events. So many fake news on the net. But I heard zelensky have sought Chelsea owner's help in begging Putin (I don't know if that is true as well).

omenkaLives:
What about the ongoing usurpation of Palestinian lands by Isreal, a situation that persists especially because IS supports it?

No one sees nothing. No one says nothing cos they are not blond with blue eyes.

Karleb:


I seriously felt like insulting the dude.

So anyone that does not share your view in politics is a novice and should be silenced. What fuckery is that?

This is one of reasons politics and politics section is very toxic. Very confused set of people.

So we should hail putin for destruction of life and properties of another nation because America did it some years back?

Imagine someone hailing maybe UK in the future for attacks on Nigeria because Nigeria refuses to legalize homosexuality.

What the other nations have done is wrong but two wrongs don't make a right. We are talking about life of people like you and I here.

You can insult me. But that doesn't mean seun is right with his 1960 post. Right to views is not same thing as right to misinformation.

FERNANDEZISBACK:

He's already viewing the thread so explain that to him..
Who are you to call him out in that kinda rude manner tho?
Quite disgusting..

I am sure he read the post.

ResidentSnitch:

I honestly don't know where some of you get your over-bloated sense of entitlement from.
You call out Seun for his personal view on the crisis as if he owes you an explanation or as though he shouldn't have an opinion because he owns Nairaland...
Some of you need to be given heavy knocks on your heads every morning to see if your brains can reset.

I call him out on his misinformation and miseducation. Or you want to agree with me he was aware there were US-led NATO crisis in the early 20s till now but he choose to ignore it and only talk about the 60s?

Having divergent views shouldn't amount to misinformation.

Iamgrey5:
Libyans requested for American help to resist Gadafi's assault on his own people.

Please can tell us who in Ukraine requested for Russia's help outside the rebels in the Donesk region of Ukraine.

Where did Libyans asked for American help? And what gives American govt rights to help kill another sovereign govt officials? Is US the UN? Even UN charter won't interfere in domestic politics.

FERNANDEZISBACK:

He was clearly referring to Cuba missile crisis tho..

It shows seun knew nothing. He should stop airing his political views on twitter. He represents this forum on that app, we don't want to be seen in that light.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
He is so right..Seun I love you..
The OP must be hungry for some hot ban..

He is so right by saying US stopped being a tyrant since 1960? Abi Libya happened in 1940 ni? I think most of you guys are just naive.

Seun are you politically naive or just chasing clout?

Cos seriously you are just showing your followers you are naive.

I think you should avoid politics and face your tech business cos obviously, you are not good in both local and international politics.

And what dfk is "compassionate capitalism"?

Owen247:
U stopped suddenly,let me help u. Iraq,yemen,libya,syria,afganistan etc.

I don't know how long the West think they could go on with their propaganda. People are waking up to see them for what they are.

Maryjane001:


Man, I think so too. Just 198 casualties in 4 days Russia is just trying to pass a message across, this is surely not the type of war the West can partake in. Theirs usually involve thousands of people killed and injured.

That is just it. Unlike US that will bomb a city to make the country cow. Example Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.

Prosperous111:


That's just a threat. If Russian army can fire this nuclear weapons to Ukraine it would cause mass disasters and something more than wars could break out.

Why not infiltrate kyiv with his army if they're strong to that extent?

Help us beg Putin make he no use that thing for Ukraine oh

It is not a nuclear weapon. I think Russia is being slowed down cos they don't want human casualties unlike the West that will call defending citizens terrorists and bomb them all. Russia is more humane than the West put together.
