with all the evidences of bio labs ,and sampling of ethnic russians ,you think they dont have details of plots against them ,Russia needs security guarantee's .so when NATO went to libya it was not a bully?libya is 8million people ,syria ?Yugoslavia,how come their was no oppositaion in iraq,?they were not bullies .go an get your facts and balance the news.
See how you treat this issue: it is Ukraine who needs security guarantee from Russia not the other way round. Russia is at least 8 times bigger than Ukraine in EVERYTHING! Ukraine isn't even a nuclear power.

Russia doesn't have a single bio-lab abi?

Most of you pro Russia sees anyone who doesn't agree with you as pro USA. No sir! In this case, I support only Ukraine. Both USA and Russia want exactly the same thing from Ukraine and that is CONTROL!

USA is not a saint in matters like this BUT that doesn't mean one should seek the destruction of Ukraine because you don't like USA's interference. Would you have supported Iraq against Kuwait during the gulf war?

Putin gave Ukraine a bad name to justify an invasion: it's the way thinks work. Did Ukraine do anything DIRECTLY against Russia? No!

Russia now has new markets for its weapons in Africa and Asia ,it is only energy deals and some natural resources such as Tantalum, India buys Russian oil and gas,china ,iran venezula,brazil ,Mali, central African republic, Sudan ,Egypt.europeans will surely turn to Africa, and they dont like to be partners but conquers,africa is were they will turn to for resources
Check out the volume of market and that that flows into the West. Sorry sir.

The whole of Africa bought less than 50 armoured tanks and 10 SU-fighter jets from Russia in the last five years.

Volume of trade doesn't lie!

Some of the Baltic States are like Africa (very poor): Ukraine even without Oil and gas is far much richer than even those with oil and gas.

Can we agree that: All Putin want is that Ukraine should be like Belarus and then there could be peace.

No sir. Any country in Africa can buy from Russia. In fact, with respect to military hardwares Nigeria's arsenals come MAINLY from Russia. All our tanks, most of our airframes (except the super tucanos) are from Russia.

The problem of Africa is poverty not restrictions from purchase of military Hardwares!

No country ever make itself a buffer zone for another nation my dear. Japan signed the non militerization law as a result of their terms of surrender to the USA. Even Germany signed the same law (which has now been relaxed because of their involvement in NATO)

Finland and Sweden willingly constitutionally decided to be neutral to any war of their neighbours. (No one compelled them to take such a posture).

Should Nigeria decide to be a buffer zone to Cameroon, Niger or Benin Republic? Why would that be a good reason?

Methodical warfare? US military personnel are baffled? You’re joking right?
US intelligence has never been baffled by Russia, they accurately predicted the exact time that Putin would invade Ukraine even as Putin repeatedly denied it. Remember?
On Thursday March 31st, Putin signed a decree ordering 134,000 new conscripts. That news comes straight from The Kremlin. The Russian Defense Ministry also admitted that conscripts have been used to fight since the Ukrainian invasion. Russia is already using conscripts in this war while the US has not drafted one single soldier since June of 1973 yet you imply that Russian forces are superior to the point that they baffle US military officials?

You make me laugh much more than the “armchair analysis” that you claim to laugh at.
Read this truth piece, straight from US intelligence experts, not the ediots you have working for the Lamestream media:

https://www.newsweek.com/putins-bombers-could-devastate-ukraine-hes-holding-back-heres-why-1690494

Ukraine does not even come close in comparison to Russia in military might and superiority.

Most of you are so used to the American shock and awe style of victory (which only ends up killing thousands upon thousands of citizens with whole cities leveled to the ground) as such that you guys find it difficult to come to terms with nations using methodical style of fighting.

Oh, so the 134,000 conscripted were sent to Ukraine, or were just being prepared for a worst case scenario vis the NATO threat?

If the country decide to give a few real field experience (which honestly I think is unnecessary) is their cup of tea. Glad you admitted that w superpower like the US have also used conscripts in time past against a third-world rated army (Vietnam). In fact, the US have used conscripts 6 times in its history.

Fact is, the Russians made mistakes in Ukraine (everyone does) but describing their adventure as a failure or losing the war is not only myopic but delusional.

Putin demanding over 100,000 fresh conscripts is very telling. I’m sure he’ll be pushing these inexperienced, green boys into immediate battle. But maybe Putin will break out all of these highly trained soldiers and sophisticated state of the art equipment that his fans claim he is “saving” for last. wink
so what is bastard America and NATO waiting for? They should enter the war let's see if all their shiithole cities won't be razed to the ground.

Nigeria can afford them but it is NOT cost effective to a nation whose major enemy is not her neighbours but Bokoharam. These kind of military hardware also expire with time (you can't keep them for more than 6 years unused, they become unstable and unpredictable) ....not cost efficient at all.

African countries are not expansionists and thus are generally safe from each other: hence they don't need to invest in long range armaments.
Nigeria as a whole may not even have up to 50 working armoured tanks (soldiers complained so much about this in their assault against Bokoharam).

Africa is weak because of multi tribal related issues and self induced poverty caused by technological backwardness. We have never been a threat to the western powers because we refused to develop and act sensibly.

They needed to blow up bridges to slow to slow down the advancement of the superior and the vastly numerous Russian army. It is a standard procedure in a defensive war. And for the Ukrainians, it worked, The bridges can always be repaired but lives are impossible to restore

Funny that you cited a Western Media news source that you call propaganda if it doesn’t praise Russia. I live in the US and although I appreciate your futile attempts to teach me US history you really need to channel that passion towards something that’ll benefit you.

Since you are praising the fabled but debunked might and superiority of the Russian Army maybe your idol Putin send them to fight the insecurity issues in parts of Nigeria.

That you live in the US doesn't make you infallible in knowledge. I don't praise the might or superiority of the Russian army; I simply stated the obvious just like those US intelligence experts said in their analysis of the war in Ukraine.

Check out the volume of market and that that flows into the West. Sorry sir.

The whole of Africa bought less than 50 armoured tanks and 10 SU-fighter jets from Russia in the last five years.

Volume of trade doesn't lie!

How could you just sit tight and type this outright lie? Or were you honestly being misled?

Russia is the largest arm seller to Africa.

Algeria alone bought around 200 aircraft items from Russia from 2000 to2019, ranging from transporter helicopters to combat helicopters, bomber and fighter ground aircrafts. Various models of surface-to-air missiles (SAM) that are designed for destroying aircrafts or other missiles have been ordered from Algeria (several orders through 2000-2019), Burkina Faso, Egypt (several orders), Ethiopia, Libya and Morocco. Algeria also ordered tanks (more than 500 items in total), as did Uganda (67 items).


As at 2020, Russia's trade volume in Africa amounted to about 14.7 billion dollars, which is even a decrease compared to the figures in 2013 and 2018.

So I don't know from where you got your figures.
