If one of our neighboring country allow insecurity to Nigeria located in their country, we have to fight to finish before the insecurity consume us.

Why are politicians bent on wasting the lives of Ukrainians? Why? It's clear even to the blind that Ukraine cannot win this war. Why can't Zelensky or whatever is his name embrace dialogue, even if it means making concessions to save the lives of his countrymen?

That concession you talked about is him stepping aside for his whole country to be annexed by Russia and brought into oblivion. If that is the move you would make were you to be in his position, I would call you a fool cheesy.

I can[b] see the much anticipated counteroffensive has began and there are significant signs of failure.

In the military perspective, a counteroffensive can only be successful when it falls into one of these categories:
1. When the counteroffensive comes as an element of surprise.
2. When the enemy have no capacity (i.e armaments and manpower) to halt or destroy the offensive.

Without surprise, Russia do not fall under the listed categories.
Time is not on the side of the Ukrainians, infact time is working against them, because while zelensky was rallying around for weapons for this offensive, the Russians were building up defensive positions.

If we were to play along the western narratives, one would've thought that this counteroffensive will be a walk in the park for the Ukrainians but NO, it is a walk into the trap for them.
The Russians still hold superiority not only on armaments and tactics, but on strategic implementation of manpower and resources.
I saw a video of Ukrainian APCs and tanks rolling down to the Frontline without air cover, is that not a suicide mission?

Imagine fighting a land war with an enemy that can strike from air, land and sea.
A wise man once said 'pick on whom you can fight'.
[/b]

The western strategy is to use Ukrainian life and western military tech to degrade the Russian army so that when Neto soldiers eventually enters the war, Russia will have limited ammunition and desire to fight. Russia, in anticipation of this eventuality have only committed 10% of their air force, navy & less than 150,000 men for this operation. Russia has scaled up production of artillery shell from 1000000 in a month to 2m. Infact, Russia has defiled the expectation of the west so far and even it's own expectations. They where able to do this because, apart from the collective west, the rest of the world was on their side. Nobody is buying into western narrative anymore. Zelensky has just sacrificed the life of his men and his country to the west for nothing, you could see the regret on his face in his last public appearance.

The same argument you are using for Russia could be used for defending the US's invasions too.

Now, I understand Russia wants to defend itself and all that, but then again, so does Ukraine. (That's why I am not backing a side in this war, both of them in their own way have a point).

But at the end, it isn't USA that is bombing Ukraine. And the US, for all its invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq got more enemies than friends. Russia's invasion has pushed countries like Finland to NATO....after years of being neutral.

At the end, Russia should not have invaded Ukraine. There are better ways to maintain the peace without invasions.

And seriously don't back a side in this war. If Russia and the USA think that is ok to bomb your village, or mine, they will do it, and no one would hear our weeping.

Truth loving people know that Russia has to prevent America from locating nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
If Ukrainians declare neutrality today, there is peace.

That's exactly what the warmongers want you to believe. I said he should dialogue with Russia... anything can come out of the dialogue. Ukraine is in ruins now, whose gain is it? At best, what the Ukrainians will have would be a pyrrhic victory. And by the way, why resort to insults when what we are discussing is not personal in anyway?

I condemn killing of even one soul.

Russia has to defend themselves.
Russia wanted peace with Ukraine but the Ukrainian leaders are too confused and immature to know what they wanted.

Ukraine and Russia are brotherly countries.
Russia want peace with them till tomorrow.



Now let me give a timeline of the Russian-Ukraine crisis because it appears a host of you are not informed.

In 2014, Ukraine was to enter into economic partnership with EU for their prosperity, and the legislature voted overwhelmingly in favour of this. At the last minute, Ukrainian President made a u-turn and opted for a deal with Russia which angered his people and triggered an uprising. After series of crackdown on the protesters, the legislature had to vote, and a vote of no confidence was cast on the President, hence he was impeached. This is a purely democratic process that saw every single member of the house present at that seating voting for his impeachment.

The now ex-president ran to his friend Putin, and Russia annexed Ukrainian territory, Crimea for itself. This triggered Ukraine and they saw they were no longer safe with their neighbour, hence started making frantic efforts to NATO for their survival.

In 2022, Russia launched a "special military operation" in Ukraine, and their goal was to uproot the democratically elected government and install their stooge.

In the light of this knowledge, pray tell, when was Russia ever pursuing peace with Ukraine? You accuse others of listening to western propaganda whereas you are just blinded by your hate for a nation that got nothing on you.

I am not insulting you. But honestly it would be foolish to back down from a fight that was brought to your doorstep. Ukraine never attacked Russia. Russia invaded their territory and brought it to ruins. They are within their rights to defend themselves and fight to the finish. It's called personal dignity and it's a sorry a lot of persons don't understand this.

Ukraine's treatment of Ethnic Russians was horrible.
And also, the removal of the ex President was done illegally because legislators from Donbass were sent packing.
Also, Ukraine banned Ethnic Russians from using their own language. That's insanity. No sane person would such cultural genocide

Why won't the counter-offnesive flop? How can you want to start a counter-offensive in a brutal war like this, and be advertising it. The western propaganda media d and over-hype it like it is some kinda festival. Ukraine defense even released a movie-trailer and teaser on it.

They all think this is a joke. A soap-opera.

They it like season 2 of a Netflix series.

My question is; How was Europe able to colonize Africa.

The level of their stupidity is mind boggling.

You right. Also I don't even follow events. I no get such time. I just once in a while glance through.

I never keep track of my birthdays, let along follow events happening far away.

anyways You right. A lot of people started following last year. As for me, before this invasion, all I knew was that there's a country somewhere called Russia. I knew nothing more of them.

But you see eh, when I want to learn about something, I really look into it from multiple perspectives and angles

The presence of legislators from Donbass wouldn't have changed anything. There were over 320 of parliament at the time of the impeachment out of a total of about 450 and every single person assented to it. That was purely democratic and an expression of the wish of the people. Russia had no right to topple it. There are Yorubas in Benin republic and Fulanis spread around Africa; Nigeria has no jurisdiction over them. So what Russia did was clearly meddlesome. Also, the ban on speaking ethnic Russian and Greek was only done after Crimea was annexed. I guess you should know why.

Your post is so shallow. What is wrong in it? Did Russia hide their intention to invade Ukraine? Did they not amass their troops for months at Ukraine's border?Most times I read your comments, and I am amazed at the gullible followers of yours who like your anti western posts. You think you made sense in your submission, but only those who know nothing about international diplomacy or relations would think your warped submission is credible. Your posts are not only unbalanced, but are laced with errors and hipocrisy seen in your past attempts to defend the indefensible. I doubt if you will understand the trash you posted up there.
