Does this alliance look short term considering the situation on ground?

This thing is that, they have no choice, there is nothing else they can do, they won't perform a miracle.

ArchiLimited:
I've been seeing several internet warriors on this site blaming Zelensky for the war and calling him foolish for not yielding. It's appaling really the percentage of 21st century youths that are empty. So the president and leader of a country should lay down and yield his country and people to a foreign invader without a fight? Thank goodness you guys are not leading anything.

who is asking him to lay down his weapon? we are telling him to stay on neutral ground which will benefit the us and the Russia, but he will rather dine with the US, he's a stu-pid man and not fit to rule

WhiteAngels001:
It's becoming a war between Russia-China and the rest of the world.

Which rest of the world?
The war is between Europe/US and Russia/China.
Asia, Africa and South America won't join the madness

and u dont know these 180 countries can block this chin sys of payment..very easy to do...nor be internet at times putin talks like an illitrate

If the 180 countries block union pay, china retaliates with blocking visa and mastercard in their country, everyone including the West loses. I think you have no idea how dependent on China Global manufacturing and economy is lol.

I have spoken with you before and it's always ended with me schooling you and belive me it's exhausting.

These countries buy this oil to resell and make profit.
Why would Poland go to Canada/Nigeria for her oil? Do you know the costs on shipment? Distance?
Also quality of produce matters.
To keep bilateral trade relationships na make many distant countries trade with Nigeria, sometimes it's a case of trade by barter. Weapons for oil....

Leave that dude. He sounds like a complete novice. I've always said that business, economics and finance should be made a major topic for Nigerians so it gives them proper knowledge before they get out of school. It's just like someone who wants to buy okro from his next door neighbor, going to maiduguri to buy the okro and thinking it would come at the same cost, forgetting that there are other costs associated with buying from maiduguri.

chronique:


At what cost? You think the cost of supplying Nigerian or Canadian gas to Europe is cheap? The question is not about whether there is gas or oil elsewhere but at what cost. Simple economics.

What economics are you bringing to the table? If their is a need to reroute, are you saying its impossible cos of economics. So if Russia shuts its gas, Europe will forever be in darkness.


Please think outside the box. Their is always a contingency plan waiting to be executed. LNG Canada supplying Europe has been an option that has been on the table

Economics my foot!

Peng12345:


True, but sometimes freedom and less dependent on others comes at a cost.

We Nigerians should learn to be independent on ourselves rathar than depending on other countries, we import more and export less

no country can exist on its own..no man can exist on his own..if u are good in spare parts u will need to sell your spareparts to buy rice..if ur land is fertile for rice farming u will need to sell your rice to enable u repair your car...people dont eat spareparts..
Yes we all eat rice but u will trek till eternaity..hope u learnt something today..no one eats drugs..india sell drugs to buy yam and crude oil thanks

Paypal is a money transfer platform and not a card settlement platform. Nothing concerns the usability of Unionpay with Paypal

Some online seller will not take any transaction outside PayPal.
Lots of them on eBay.

dustydee:

Absolutely. The US and EU will just succeed in pushing Russia further towards China and that may lead to more problems for them in the long term. I think they should intead negotiate with Russia and offer them guarantees in exchange for the end of hostilities.

Why is Russia like a pawn on a chessboard judging from your narrative?

Before you guys say china wins, who owns majority of the factories in China

Who really Stand to gain most from 5his war through gas, power oil supply contract

Who really stand to gain most from a sanctioned Russia who has monopoly of gas supply to Europe

Who really gains the most from a Russia painted as a devil to the whole world


Russia just played straight into the hands of frenemies. And they didn't even have to fre a shot. The earlier Putin does damage control and round this war as a no Victor no vanquish the better for him to safe his countries face

US is a dying empire. Dying empires make costly mistakes in a bit to assert their dominance. That is what we are experiencing. Imagine them going to Venezuela to beg for oil, Venezuela they had kept under their heels for decades.

Germany is asking Russia for gas. It's going to an interesting world going forward.

Good move. The West's coming for China, am sure the Chinese leaders won't want USA sanction on there business. This nah real game to learn from. Wow

united states will be in ruins if they sanction China the way they sanction Russia.
United States economy and that of Europe seriously depends on China

You guys need to read up, were they in ruins when they sanction China business the last time. China produce and who's the highest consumer? The West. Where do you think China billionaires stack there proceed? The West. China billionaires have there money in dollars not Yuan... You guys should read more. Until countries developed and developing comes together as one, then West will come down

Only if you guys can just read before typing. All I said is the West will come for China if they open there door wide. You see what's happening to Russian billionaires, same will go for China. Little China can do to accommodate Russians now.

Keegan:


China has done nothing wrong and just for your information Japan and Germany are still bitter against the US for the defeats suffered at the WWII. These two countries are looking for every angle they can pay the US back, this cannot be done when US is still strong. The moment US is vulnerable be expecting different Japan and Germany. Remember in politics there is no permanent friends or foes but permanent interest.
