Why Putin Is Invading Ukraine? (The Cable) by BusterG: 3:37am On Feb 25, 2022 |
EXPLAINER: Why exactly is Putin invading Ukraine? On Thursday, the world was roused to the shocking reverberation of bombs dropping on cities in Ukraine as Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, finally sounded the long-touted invasion of the country. At least 137 people are said to have died as Russian bombs continue to cascade down the sky of Kyiv, Dnipro and other cities in Ukraine.Source https://www.thecable.ng/explainer-why-exactly-is-putin-invading-ukraine/amp 34 Likes 6 Shares

The question is what's his issue with Ukraine if not his selfish benefit..it's just like hurting and torturing your wife cos of her choice for the betterment of her life against you.. Putin wants the old Soviet glory nothing else..he has no right to invade a sovereign country for no logical reason.. Modified: Ukraine insisted willingly to join NATO and it has been for a while now..no one is forcing them.. understand that... 95 Likes 5 Shares |

Very correct assessment. The aggressors are the ones playing victims now.. NATO has to explain why it wants Russias immediate neighbor as a member. 171 Likes 21 Shares |

FERNANDEZISBACK: Putin has the right to defend his country. He is taking a very important proactive step to safeguard his country. if Chad decides to give ISIS or Boko Haram a base to deploy their troops and organize their attacks against Nigeria, Nigeria has the right to take every action to stop Chad. If Nigeria refuses to act, it's a sign of weakness and lack of foresight within the countrys leadership and not something to celebrate. That exactly is the thing Russia is doing. NATO was formed to tame the USSR. The USSR is dead, what's NATO still doing positioning herself within a striking distance to Russia? Ukraine got herself into this mess by deciding to join a military group that represents her neighbors worst enemies 262 Likes 35 Shares |

Rugaria:How is NATO a threat to him? NATO is a defensive organisation that guarantees the integrity of member nations against attack through the medium of mutual support... He is not defending his country he is invading a sovereign country.. understand that? You can't defend your country by attacking another for no reason..just like torturing your wife for saying she wanna divorce you.. NATO is still necessary because it protects its members from the “confusion, instability, unpredictability” which are persistent conditions in international affairs. So NATO doesn’t need to be against any specific state or group to continue to have a very important job to do...To prevent any more annexed Crimea’s and Russian occupied Ukraine. Russia intends to further expand her borders, NATO may deter WW3... So you gotta understand that.. 132 Likes 14 Shares |

FERNANDEZISBACK: For no reason? The problem here is that you are giving NATO and the West a free pass. In your mind, they're infallible. You really think the West never saw this crises coming? This crises have been brewing for over a decade. The West knows what they're doing. Russia knows what they are doing too. Russia understands Western manipulations and scheming and are basically trying to upstage them. You have to understand how NATO works. Once you're a member of NATO, if you're attacked, all members of NATO have a duty to join hands to defend you. It means that the attackers will be facing the military arsenal of the whole of western Europe and others that are members of NATO. NATO is the biggest fighting block as at today and represents the biggest military danger to countries like Russia and China... So what happens if Ukraine joins NATO and a president of Ukraine starts a sort of war with Russia? NATO will have to do something to defend Ukraine. That means that all of a sudden, Russia will have to fight The USA, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain , Portugal etc. These are some of the most sophisticated militaries in the world. You're going to face them over a minor squabble with your neighbor? Right at your borders! Especially a neighbor that has ethnic Russians as her citizens too? This is very simple. I don't know why it looks so confusing to some. Russia is trying to get Ukraine within her sphere of influence. That's what you do when you're a super power. The Americans do it, the USSR did it, China is trying to do it. If you leave your flanks open, your competitors will enter an dismantle you. If you doubt this, try to make Mexico a strategic ally of Russia or China, .. The Americans will react even more ferociously than Russia is doing today to that. During the Venezuelan crises, The US did whatever it could to make sure that Russia never had a military post in Venezuela. Yet Venezuela has no border crossings with The United States. How much more a country with land borders with the US.. 329 Likes 44 Shares |

Rugaria:Ooh so attacking them is a way forward? Why will Ukraine sort a war with Russia for no reason? isn't that d**mb? You can't tell a sovereign country what to do and how to run their country..did they launch any offensive against Russia?no If you or Putin ain't scared and doesn't have any ulterior motive why forcing Ukraine to lick your boots? No point here just some bully..I can't imagine Egypt or Algeria invading your country cos you decide to do something for the betterment of your country.. NATO did not launch any offensive against Russia did they? Ukraine is being bullied and needeed help?how would you feel if your senior bro keep hurting you so as to force you to do what he wants? won't you look for a solution? or you will keep smiling and enduring huh?

If not that Zelensky is unserious fellow, how did he allow USA and NATO to Bobo him when they are not going to send their troops to defend aggressive Russia.

The Russian military is now less than 20 miles from Kiev the Ukrainian capital as we speak. That is less than 24 hours of fighting! If Ukraine knows they're this miserably hopeless, why didn't they do enough to stave off the invasion? There was no way The United States or NATO would have intervened to fight against a nuclear armed Russia. So what's the point putting your country through this mess? The West continues using these countries as cannon fodders in their senseless proxxy wars with Russia and China. 63 Likes 2 Shares |

Putin simply has an expansionist agenda & would not stop until he reestablishes the Soviet Union. NATO is a defence pact, not an aggressive one & if Russia doesn't want Ukraine joining NATO, it can do so by other means including political & economic sanctions rather than a full scale war. Also, since the balkanisation of the SU, Russia has always threatened Ukraine, hence, Ukraine's intention to join NATO. The US & its NATO allies have never pushed Ukraine to join NATO. Putin is just power mad. Further more, the silence of China is telling... it is watching closely. If Russia succeeds in getting Ukraine without much resistance from the West, China is going to take Taiwan & Tibet too... The domino effect is that North Korea will invade South Korea, Pakistan will invade the disputed Kahmir region with India. Some Arab nations will attack Israel. Other smaller conflicts designed to grab more land will ensue... That said, powers (empires) rise & fall. China seems to be the one to replace the declining dominance of the US & Russia is aware of this. But the question I always ask those who insult US is this, would you prefer to stay in an autocratic China or a democratic US? 75 Likes 6 Shares |

ivandragon: Taiwan has always been Chinese.. Don't let Western propaganda fool you. Taiwan is not Ukraine. Taiwan is Chinese and Ukraine is not Russian. Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao reminds China of the enermous levels the west had to go in order to undermine her when she was weak and poor. China has got a good case to demand the return of Taiwan. The British are still in Falklands and The French controls West Africa and polenesia, yet they're the ones condemning Russia. Democratic West? Is there anything democratic about the current world order? You live in Africa that has been more or else designated a mininig field, a continent being rapaciously raped by Western multinationals and agencies and you're talking of a democratic world order? What is democratic about Nigerias politics today as is supported by the West? I think most Africans suffer the political equivalent of the Stockholm syndrome in their rabid obeisance to western dictates.. 128 Likes 15 Shares |

US democrats are the reason. They run Ukraine with their secret soldiers there and Putin isn't having it especially when the western world is pushing NATO to admit Ukraine. Putin doesn't want the old Soviet back as some people believe, most of them are poor and a drain on Russia. 18 Likes 1 Share |
