No country even america will help Ukraine

For your information Ukraine will never join eu
They have already join eu, and eu is sponsoring this war. US sent weapons worth 300 million dollars to Ukraine yesterday. France is sending anti missile system to Ukraine as we speak. At the end of the day Ukraine might just put Russia to shame, I don't see Russia winning this war.

You and I know both USA ND UK won't fire one single shot into Russia

because US and UK are more advanced in trusting in guns and missiles to achieve their aims. It doesn't work for them on Afghanistan,Iraq and Libya. Though it was fight against terrorist. Well advanced countries like US and UK need economic strength to deal with Putin. Go and ask Nigerians that were in Russia b4 they left their. They will let u know people are suffering in Russia. But u are here sitting in your single room deciding on who go win d war. U think this nah ps5? US can't afford to loose a single soldier talk less of her citizens. US and EU will paralyse all his political and economic strength. Do u think nah guns dey kill people most in a war. Starvation and diseases. When all these start happening in Russia. Russia citizens go rise against Putin. Even presently,many Russians are not in support of Putin decision. I wonder why my Naija brothers dey support who is causing crises. U are happy Ukrainian citizens are dying just because u hat US. Nah wao

My friend shut up your gutter mouth..You are the one I should ask how old are you? Cause you talk like a child and know nothing

What do you know about international politics?


The short answer: it may have less to do with Ukraine and more to do with America. There is fear and suspicion among nations of being dragged into another Cold War showdown between the US and Russia. Kyiv may be the victim and Moscow the aggressor, but in the eyes of many, Washington is not totally innocent in all of this.

As the self-appointed “world policeman”, the US stands accused or at least is seen to interfere in the internal affairs of other states under different pretexts, including in and around Russia and China.

It is also been accused of double standards when it comes to aggression, occupation and international law violations – one for allies and another for the rest, just as was the case during the Cold War.

That war might have been cold in the north, but it was burning hot in the Global South, where Moscow and Washington engaged in proxy conflicts to advance their interests, regardless of the cost.

No longer are states trusting Washington to help, protect, or defend them, not after its humiliation in Afghanistan and its defeat in Iraq; not after its blunders in Syria, Yemen, Libya and other world hotspots; and certainly, not after inciting Ukraine only to leave it at the mercy of Russian military might.

The world has also lost its innocence over the past decades and no longer buys into Washington’s lofty slogans of freedom and democracy, when both are under attack in America itself.

You heard it here first:
Kiev will be conquered, Zelensky will be killed. But after the death of Zelensky, Putin will be assassinated.
The world will come for Putin. It's not about doing evil, but can you withstand the consequences of evil?
No Russian Army General will risk a nuclear annihilation of the world, just because of the ego of Putin. No General will support him when it comes to the proper action of firing nuclear warheads against any NATO country.
Dalil8:



Pakistan, India, Iran, NK are all rallying behind Russia. And they're all nuclear powers.

I just wish Russian forces would capture or kill this Zelensky guy.

It'll send a very strong message to the west. But atm Kyiv is impenetrable, a hard nut to crack.

After 4 days the president realized how overrated mother Russia is.

In less than one week Ukraine, a country as powerful as Israel armed with high tech American weapons is already in rubbles. The so called America/Western air defense systems have done little or no good to Ukraine. Yet you say Russia is overrated? Russia main army have not started and this is happening. The people you see fighting are from Chechen and Russian separatists forces. By the time the main force enters Ukraine, the war will be over. America knows this and have warned Zelensky to leave Ukraine before it is too late.

chucks4sure:


You are talking like a small kid you don't know world politics. You said America is using Ukraine to set Russia up. I want to ask you to what end is America doing that?
Is it so that, they can go to war with Russia? You reason like a kid. Russia has second largest nuclear war heads in the world. That is why America is afraid to help Ukraine because nothing will stop this war to snowball to world war leading to nuclear war and nobody can predict how it will end. Russia and China are the only countries that have supersonic missile America does not have it. A hypersonic missile is a missile that travels faster than Mach 5, or 3,836mph.

This means they move at about one mile per second, or five times faster than the speed of sound. There is currently no way to stop or intercept them.

Some can travel even faster. Russia’s Kh-47M2 Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missile, for example, can allegedly reach Mach 10, equivalent to more than 7,600mph.

In 1994 Russia signed the accord, he referred to, to guarantee the independence of Ukraine, there was no NATO expansion in the cards. It was promised after the collapse of the Soviet Union that NATO would not move one inch eastward towards the borders of Russia. Putin, including Boris Yeltsin, had repeatedly complained to the West about the NATO expansion to no avail.

Also, the claim by the West that entry of Ukraine in NATO cannot be rejected because NATO has an OPEN DOOR POLICY to any country that wants to join, is plainly a diversion to hide the real reason. The fact is that Putin himself had asked for Russia to be a member of NATO and EU and was turned down flatly.
The real purpose of NATO expansion was a new US strategy designed to isolate RUSSIA from all of the former Warsaw countries so that Russia would never rise again to challenge US hegemony. As you can that strategy is beginning to backfire. One more caveat to remember by everyone is that, among other important figures, George F Kennan, the chief architect of US foreign policy during the Cold War, had opposed very much in 1997 the NATO expansion venture because that would have derailed the new amicable relationship with Russia and lead to another, more dangerous arms race with Russia.

Putin did nothing to anger the US until 2007; he went rogue thereafter at home and abroad, largely due to NATO expansion. He made it very clear at a G20 meeting, saying, "the mistake we (Russia) made was to trust you too much; the mistake you (US) made was to take advantage of it." . After this, all we heard of was how bad or terrible Putin was.

The fact is that the media just sees one side of the coin. If this crisis over Ukraine gets worse, the US is chiefly to blame, but most will not believe it, because the root causes of today's crisis initiated many years ago reaching a boiling point.

This was a big blunder on the US side, in that it is causing Russia to join forces with their worst enemies, like China and Iran, not to mention other headaches like Syria and North Korea.

The US has passed 90% of its existence involved in wars and conflicts in different countries of the world.

This list doesn't include "undercover" operations of the CIA, financing of opposition groups, coups d'etat, that is, other forms of intervention and interference.

1945: Bombs the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki

1961: Mercenary forces recruited, organized, financed and directed by the United States invade Cuba.

1965: Dominican Republic

1966: Guatemala

1980: Organizes a military intervention in the desert of Tabas (central Iran).

1981: The “contras” war begins to eliminate the Sandinista government in Nicaragua.

1986: Launches an air strike against Libya.

1989: Invades Panama to arrest whoever was his protégé, Manuel Noriega. The operation left no less than 3,000 civilian casualties.

1991: Attacks Iraq in what is called the Gulf War (Persian).

1998: Guided by incomplete or erroneous information, attack Sudan.

1999: The USA, at the head of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), bombs Yugoslavia and causes its disintegration.

2001: Invades Afghanistan.

2003: Invades Iraq.

2011: Attack Libya.

2011: Support terrorists and armed groups to try to overthrow the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Asad.

2018: Bombs Syria
After all these nobody sanctioned them.
America is the cause of war and conflicts in the world by trying at all cost to control the world affairs and by playing double standards.
America can not allow Russia to have her war base in Mexico or Canada if these countries were to allow Russia. So Ukraine, a child of Russia, has been persuaded by America and the West to be a member of NATO, but refused Russia's demand to be a member of NATO and EU.
The expansion of NATO if care is not taken can cause WW3.
This is to educate some people to understand what is happening in the world and why Putin did what he did for Russia security.
Mr Google so because of d agreement, Ukraine should serve as slave to Russia for live. Are u out of your mind? Whatever agreement both of them had. What is Ukraine gaining from Russia. Mumu dey worry u oo. Let both of them go their different ways for peace to rain.
So u are here supporting d killings of innocent Ukrainians just because u hate US. I bet if u are in Ukraine presently or your relatives are there u will not be saying these.
