If you take away Putin's Air power, his army will be completely useless against Ukrainians defense.
Well, he still has nuclear power, whether he is suicidal enough to use it is another issue.

Putin's plan was to seize most the capital and most of Ukraine in 1 to 2 days so that nobody
will have time to react. But his plans failed as couldn't hold on to any major city.
Why did Putin actually fail to achieve this within 1 to 2 days

embarassed embarassed Drugnibu's radioactive yellow teeth can be used in producing missiles during this war.

Ukrainian scientists need to tap into this huge discovery for their benefit.


No side should consider using atomic (radioactive) bombs in this war because it is very deadly and remain banned. That law should be respected.

Life has not been the same since the US dropped fat man and little boy in Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively in 1945.

The reason Ukraine going to be the biggest loser is also why Yemen is in ruins after Iran and Saudi fought a proxy war there.

The West will not send troops, they will send weapons, Russia will send a fraction of its military and they will have their war but on whose soil? Not any of them. It will be Ukraine that will suffer.


I am struggling to understand you. Are u saying Ukraine should fold her hands while Russia brought war to her?

Most of their airfield has been degraded, if the west like they should send them aircraft carriers, submarines and F-35s… it still won’t change the outcome…. And if they should get involved directly they’re going to face the type of consequences that they have never experienced in their entire history.

You mean the EU is about to commercially make sales on an ongoing conflict? This is what the issue has always been, the West takes every chance to sell weapons to sides during a conflict.

They can get involved directly but they refused. They could have not nudged Ukraine into a war they know they can't handle, they refused.

They could have given then these weapons for free too but this is the EU and US. Money is the most important factor which they will book as a loan to Ukraine with crazy interest rates when Ukraine will need money to rebuild

Ukraine will learn a bitter lesson not to trust the word of a sneaky neighbor and to always have
strong deterrence in place.

In a few decades, Ukraine's economy will be competing with the big 20 because it will receive so much
economic aid than ever seen in modern times. While Putin's lapdog in Belarus will be struggling to pay salary then.

The sacrifice will be well worth it.

Ukrainians are not wise. You can never win a war on your soil. The damages will be too much. Don't let the EU nudge you on. Sue for peace and look for alternative. If possible, conduct referendum for the Russian controlled region let's see what will be Putin's next excuse for invasion

The ukrainian will be the biggest loser in this war, one thing I like about Russia and her allies, they make less noise and watch the west do the noise making and strike where it hurts the most.
Ukrainians will be the biggest losers agreed. But if care is not taken Russia will lose also. If u think Ukraine is an easy target just know that abt 2/3 of the entire Russian army is in Ukraine. And its reported that the Russian army have experienced heavy loses. Also the sanctions that Russia will face this year alone no be here in fact in less than 2 days the value of the Russian economy dropped by half. The Russian people don't support the war this might even lead to civil unrest coupled with the sanctions might spill disaster for Putin.the west is arming Ukraine with a lot of weapons as we speak that is y Putin is now threatening nuclear war.

EU is buying and giving to Ukraine as lethal aid (not selling). Ukraine is a country of 40million plus people, the sheer displacement of millions of refugees is a threat to the EU. So really they have to act and Putin was well warned not to invade.

Ukraine was not neutral but was under Putin's indirect rule before the war.

Forget the NATO propaganda,
Putin started this war because of Ukraine's attempt to forge economic deals with the EU.
This he did by instigating rebellion using his tribesmen in the east and seizing of Crimea.
But that wasn't enough, he need to control the whole country.

If you see no problem with forcing a sovereign country to not or associate with another, then you
need to have a rethink.

Remember Ukraine was invaded so they are doing the only logical thing. Or were you expecting them to surrender without defending their territorial integrity? Stop talking about Ukraine losing most in infrastructure when it's about protection of their sovereignty.

Well, he miscalculated.
Russia and the west consider Ukraine's military as very incompetent and lack morale
and they are somewhat right. Because the military have been systematically degraded
and underfunded by previous pro-Russia presidents.

Western intelligence even believe it will be a walkover for Putin and that is why various governments were
dragging their feet to help Ukraine because they think it is a waste. But when they saw that Ukraine was not a pushover, they
are now ready to offer more weapons.

Suffer casualties yes and same can be said of Russia on Ukraine soil, but talk about infrastructure is out of the question because the EU will obviously fund the reconstruction of Ukraine to spite Putin. So no Ukraine isn't the biggest loser rather it's Putin whose support base in Russia continue to dwindle

Ignorance at it's peak!

You: The West always takes chance to sell weapons to sides during a conflict

Me: And you think it is everytime the west gets money for these weapons? Some are military aids that do not need payment. Pic 1 and 2

You: They can get involved directly in the war
Me: The US and EU have no need to get involved directly. They are not committed to get involved. Ukraine is not in NATO, neither does the US and EU have any defense treaty with Ukraine. They are helping with the best way they can.

You: They couldn't have not nudged Ukraine into a war.

Me: How did the US and EU nudge Ukraine into a war? They provided intelligence that Russia wants to invade Ukraine. Russia invades Ukraine and they provide military support for Ukraine and apply economic pressure on Russia. How does this mean they nudged Ukraine to war. Who started the war?

Some of you should learn to understand issues before commenting. You wouldn't die if you don't comment on issues you have no understanding about

I tire for the guy analysis. He keeps talking about Ukraine losing when they were "invaded" and have no choice but to fight the unlawful Invaders. Was he expecting them to surrender to preserve infrastructure? Was he expecting them to surrender because Russia seem unbeatable? Or was he expecting them to surrender because EU will play trade politics?

It is just funny that Africans are still siding with Russia, a country that invades another country, in this conflict. Russia had enough time to pursue the path of peace, but Putin chose to invade. Even when other Russian politicians apparently would have wanted him to continue with the negotiation with EU. Ukraine called for meeting with Putin just a day before the invasion, but he refused. Now do you think it it is funny to see your country being destroyed right in front of you with your decades of hardwork going up in flames.

Summary of this war is:

Ukraine will stop existing as a country if it refuses to fight back, while Russia can end this invasion by calling its soldiers back without any of them being harmed

Africans indeed love despotic rulers, democracy doesn't suit them. It is a slave-master relationship between them and their leaders that is best for them.

You can call the Western countries and USA anything you want to call them, but they are still the best allies of Africa today. Africa Fintech startups generate billions of dollars yearly from USA investors alone. Chinese also give loans to African countries, but you cannot compare how Africans are being treated in China to how they are welcome in Western countries. Appreciate the good of a man you Africans. Without the West, don't you think China would have treated Africa the worse.

The same relationship that Taiwan, South Korea, Japanese, Singapore, etc have with the Western countries that they built their advanced economies on is what African countries are failing to utilize properly. Blame your greedy leaders for your failure and backwardness, not the West. You people are already nurturing another crooked ancestor to rule you for another 8 years after Buhari.

What exactly do you want Ukraine to do when the war was brought to thier doorstep? To just surrender their region and forget thier dream of joining NATO?

About the region, Russia has taken over the area in question, so their continued stay in the rest of Ukraine at this point suggests taking control of the region is not the endgame. Again, this is not the first time Russia is forcefully taking over a region before any referendum. How long would they keep doing that?

As for NATO membership, people asking Ukraine to forget that have not offered a solution to the main issue that made them feel the need to join the body in the first place. Most Putin supporters are just being anti-West without any consideration to the real issue between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine planned to join NATO cause Russia has consistently violated the Budapest Memorandum. So it's either they join NATO or they submit to the continued oppression.

They'll be negotiation today according to reports, but at this point, it'll be very difficult to take Putin's words cause he hasn't been straightforward and his demands aren't very realistic. First, it was NATO membership, and while egotiations were still ongoing, he invaded Ukraine in the name of peace keeping. And then he sent his men all over the country.
