SarkinYarki:
The conflict has been badly handled by both sides and could lead to grave economic consequences for the world ... Putin's invasion has been haphazard instead of the "blitzkrieg" we expected ..the deal was go in there and topple Zelensky within 48 hours not Minding any collateral damage , set up a pro Kremlin interim govt and pull back Russian military to the separatist regions and start Negotiating sanctions..Putin seems to have messed this up with the kid glove haphazard invasion....Putin is not a good strategist like we have all been made to believe if he was the proper thing to do was to crush the CIA coup of 2014 and we wouldnt be here but he sat down in Kremlin and let the CIA have their way..

Putin Nairaland Cheerleader and Hallelujah Boy has given up when Putin called on you to volunteers from Middle East.

We don't care about his personal life or opinions. But how did the clown get such wealth

Fabricated trash

Realists:
Hmmm, the conspiracy & hypocrisy of the west is about to end, with Mr Putin dogmatism. One button, one missile & all these will end.

# say no to hypocrisy & double standard.

one of your pic is terrorism oriented.

Look at how you're foolishly covering a crisis that absolutely nothing to do with your continent let alone your country, a hundred wars are going on in your own country and you haven't pushed a single piece of it here,this slavery mentality that has besieged you people is pathetic

Vladimir Putin wanna destroy Russia because of his ego.

If things continue like this I see Russians turning against him and that would be his end. A time would come when even the soldiers will rebel against him.

Loewe:
While I commend the West's stand ( 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...

The west and USA don't give a Bleep about Ukraine as long their objective is accomplish. The use Ukraine as a bait to cripple Russia economy.

But that’s where he’s heading. Putin is leading other Russians on the part of a revolution, in the like of the Bolshevik revolution of 1917, that will bring him down. I hope Russian generals remove him from power and let’s have some peace.

Some of the sanctions would definitely be reverted if Putin stops but pride wouldn't let him. They have been consistently speaking with Putin to see if he can make UTURN. He can easily negotiate if he wants soft landing.

We will continue to talk until buffons like you will get sense ,until you all learn to differentiate who is fighting for you and who is your oppressor. Black monkeys that have no brain to think. Youallblacks dreams is to live in the uk and usa....what other dreams do you have ?

Camelot65:
Don't you guys get tired

Confiscating the assets of companies that have fled Russia since the invasion of Ukraine would shatter investor confidence for decades and take Russia back to the calamitous days of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution, metals magnate Vladimir Potanin has said.

Potanin, president and biggest shareholder of Norilsk Nickel (GMKN.MM), the world's largest producer of palladium and refined nickel, said Russia should respond with pragmatism to its exclusion from swathes of the global economy.

"We should not try to 'slam the door' but endeavour to preserve Russia's economic position in those markets which we spent so long cultivating," Potanin, 61, said on the Telegram messaging app.

Potanin, one of the most prominent Russian billionaires who is not sanctioned by the West, said confiscating assets from companies that had left would put Russia out in the cold for decades, as far as investors were concerned:

"It would take us back 100 years to 1917. And the consequences - a global lack of confidence in Russia from investors - we would feel for many decades."

The highlighted paragraph above explains everything !
So, the West carefully chooses who to sanction and who not to?
Potanin is not under sanctions.

If you dont the West (America/NATO/EU), they sanction you and steal your Assets but if you do, you become their Agent, to be used to destabilize your won country.
So, one can understand why the Russian Oligarch is saying what he is saying.

do those wars affect the world directly ? This is an international crisis which has the wit to reshape the world map..

Some mofos here still say the sanctions no dey enter. anonymous1759 are u still doubting??

I telli dem the a s s holes Putin NL urchins who never owned a business in their life nor even ever has 200k at a time in their balance that financial Sanction is deadlier than nuclear bomb but they were running their stinky mouths.

Go to Zenith or UBA and you are being told efcc has frozen you then you will understand to sanction someone or a nation financially is a deadliest assault that can be unleash on anyone or a nation.

Putin never know what he has invited upon himself and his nation I swear by 3 months time the world will witness another Somalia in Europe land(Russia). Let's keep watching......

The World's Richest and Poorest Countries 2021
What does it mean for a nation to be rich or poor at a time of global pandemic? GDP per capita adjusted for relative purchasing power gives us an idea, albeit an imperfect one.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021
Author: LUCA VENTURA
Project Coordinator: BINH P

Luxembourg on the left is the world's richest country and Burundi on the right is the poorest.
Would you rather be rich in a poor country or poor in a rich one? Measuring how rich a country is not that easy (spoiler: it is not just about the GDP). Measuring how rich you are depends to a large degree on how rich and poor countries are defined.
If we simply consider a nation's gross domestic product—the sum of all goods and services produced by a country during one year—then we would have to conclude that the richest nations are exactly the ones with the largest GDP: United States, China, Japan, . But how could the economies, for example, of Singapore or Luxembourg ever match that of such powerhouses when they are no more than small dots on the world map?

Another problem with GDP is that it does not measure wealth distribution. That is why a more accurate representation of people’s living conditions begins with dividing a nation's GDP by the number of people that live there: per capita GDP and its growth rate tell us much more about the social wealth potentially available to each person and whether this wealth is either increasing or decreasing over time.

However, using per capita GDP still poses a problem: the very same income can buy very little in some countries and go much further in others where basic necessities—food, clothing, shelter, or healthcare—cost far less. To gauge how a country’s citizens are wealthy it is necessary to understand how much they can buy. That is why, when comparing per capita GDP across countries, the GDP should be adjusted for purchasing power parity, which helps us take into the inflation rates and the price of goods and services in each given place.

In conclusion, then, when considering whether it is better to be rich in a poor country or poor in a rich one, the best chance of enjoying a superior standard of living is to reside in a richer nation no matter where a person falls on the income distribution scale. The coronavirus pandemic proved it most strikingly. Low-income workers, often migrants, living in very wealthy nations suddenly found themselves unemployed, homeless and stranded. By contrast, some poor and developing nations were spared, or cleverly prevented, the worst health and socio-economic effects of the outbreak, allowing their citizens to continue their lives in a mostly unchanged way. Whether you are rich or you are poor, these—indeed—are very strange and frightening times.

Leave that terrorist abeg. What do u expect him to say

Juventus4life:


The west and USA don't give a Bleep about Ukraine as long their objective is accomplish. The use Ukraine as a bait to cripple Russia economy.

Honestly, I am beginning to think so. They seem to be more focused on crippling Russia's economy and making sure they're too impoverished to be a world power... Albeit, Putin was really stupid to have invaded a smaller country without doing his homework. Turns out Kremlin really lacked strategists, or maybe Putin is just a dictator cos invading Ukraine was a very bad idea. . .

joyandfaith:

I think putin is the problem. He doesn't negotiate.

Not in this case, not against the West... Maybe he is too arrogant to talk to Zelenskyy, but once he hears any hope of sanctions being lifted, he would look for a way to "pause" the senseless war...

Realists:
Hmmm, the conspiracy & hypocrisy of the west is about to end, with Mr Putin dogmatism. One button, one missile & all these will end.

North Korea is a threat to itself not the world. Has anything North Korea does ever affect the world market?

Russia has a reason, stop invading a sovereign nation. You don't need to be told that.
What you're saying is like beating a child for stealing. that child don't need you to tell him why are beating him, he knows because you didn't just wake up to beat him. So if he stop doing that, then there's no need for you to beat him

Well you probably don't understand the context and usage of my expression 'threat to world peace'...

The more the economically crippled and sidelined nations that have access to nuclear bombs, the higher the propensity for a negative alliance between them and the higher the likelihood of a WW3...

A man that has nothing to lose is a dangerous man. Think about that for a second. Ciao!

Who needs a soft landing more, Ukraine or Russia?
Moreover, NK is not a threat to World peace, and neither will Russia.

The World didn't put them where they've found themselves today. Putin did
