Do you even know the first thing about sanctions?

Well he studied well, very soon like Kim he will only be testing weapons and nothing more, actually he already used to doing that so yeah he got it
You wish.

Just prepare yourself for bigger pipes in Africa since you don't understand the hand writing on the wall.

For the West to save herself, they need another life support. This time it is you that they dont care about. Have you wondered why Nigeria oil income reduced after oil price increased after the invasion?

you just this long epistle to proof my point.

Putin is well loved that anyone or independent media in Russia that called this war, "war" is liable to 15 years in jail. Many of the independent news in Russia are leaving.

The scene of his own Foreign Minister unable to speak his mind is everywhere.

His defense Minister just today took in front of journalists to say Russia isn't fighting in Ukraine but air strikes after air strike in dropping in Ukraine.

All the evidence you need is right in your hand but as it is normal with you guys anything against Russia has to be western propaganda.

Since you say Russia can do what it likes, then Israel can do what Israel likes. Why do you want me to condemn it or is Israel not fighting for her survival being surrounded all round by her enemies?
Unfortunately it's all self interest. Both needs to be condemned. They're abusing powers since they're stronger. If Ukraine was strong they will match Russia likewise if Palestine had the means they will take on Israel. The strong feeds in the weak. It's the hypocrisy that stinks.. are you aware that the strong Ukraine have also bullied and killed about 10,000+ ethnic Russians that were divided into Ukraine?, Those ethnic Russians want their own independence

The right approach would have been for Ukraine and Russia to honour their agreement and everybody live in peace

Israel and Palestine should come to agreement and seperate themselves as much as possible and seek lasting peace

Everything points to humans destroying this planet from too much greed and self interest. All this weapons of mass destructions here and there

Lol......Russia is imposing sanctions on USA. grin grin grin

The sanction thing works like a fight between a billion-dollar conglomerate and a tiny company.
Using Nigeria as an instance, Dangote conglomerate can stop buying sugar cane from a major farmer in Jos, and also influence other buyers not to buy the farmer's produce. To make up the shortfall, it could invest in farmers in Cameroon or Benin to supply it with Sugar cane.

Of course the farmer can fight back by refusing to buy Dangote cement for his one-room shack construction project. However in reality, Dangote can ruin the farmer by blocking 100% of its income while the farmer cannot even hurt 1% of Dangote's business in Jos alone.

Russia is about the size of Texas's economy. Worse still, it is not as innovative as Japan in high-tech goods critically needed in the USA. Therefore, it has almost nothing EXCEPT GAS! Unfortunately, it cannot afford to stop selling its oil and gas because 100% of its income comes from there too. Not to mention that USA has its own abundant oil and gas supplies too.

Crippled on Social media.

You see my friend, for capitalism to survive, they need a life support. They need a producer that will be leeched on by few individuals. But what happens when that producer can fight back.
The West after realising that the sanctions made matters worse on their side will be left with only one option which is to either wrestle Russian resources from the hands of the Government or over exploit Africa but you know we are not talking about another Libya or Iraq but the Rus. A proud nation that have maintained their turf for centuries. It comes with serious consequences. Its either the West take the suicidal option of WW3 or watch their own capitalist economy die a slow natural death. With time the masses will rise on the 5% like it was done before.

Capitalism isn't even a real economy. It is an association of thieves. Cut the life support which in this case is Africa and Middle East and watch the oppressed hungry poor tear down the feudal 5% Lords.

Your comment is the result of not taking break from Western Media.

It is a practical joke to compare wealth or poverty in communist countries to capitalist. In communist countries the wealth of the nation reflects on a greater percentage of the population compared to the capitalist country, which is why, as big as China is she doesn't have conditioned homeless people. Can the same be said about USA?

Do you know why they keep on feeding most of you with lies about communism especially on the "tyranny" stuff is because if many of you see the beauty in Communism/Socialism, you would have picked up guns.
Do you know that before and even at the heat of US invasion of Iraq, Fuel was free? Same with Libya. Can this happen in Capitalist economy where few individuals hold the destiny of the masses in their pocket. For example less than 100 people hold the entire oil Wells of Nigeria.

So my dear, the sanctions can only affect rogue oligarchs not the average man in Russia. The West is even helping Communism. You don't take from the country and invest outside.

So why were the Russian oligarchs putting all their money in the same west? The capitalist countries are far richer and live far better than your utopian communist countries.

Why is Abrahamovic crying now? Do you know how much of Russia's foreign reserves is in dollars? $650mn and half of it has been frozen! How much of America's dollars is in rubbles?

When Russian start starving to death without essential commodities, you will know human beings are the same whether communist or capitalist.

Stop hyping Russia, it is a poor country that used it's limited wealth to pile up nukes rather than wealth, now that other countries are hitting it hard, Russia will have no option but to either sell it's nukes to feed or simply eat them.

Just as the EU is unwinding its rescue package to counteract the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine means that Brussels is having to weigh up another raft of financial support measures.
The European Commission is exploring options to shelter its economy from the blowback of Western sanctions on Russia, including surging energy prices and potential retaliatory countermeasures from the Kremlin, five EU officials and diplomats told POLITICO.
The package, which could be adopted as early as next week ahead of an EU leaders' summit in Paris next Thursday and Friday, is still under discussion. Early talks, however, suggest that its elements could include repurposing of existing
loans, fresh debt to raise money for loans in case of energy price spikes, and new
guidance on fast-track approval of state subsidies.
"In the short term, there is a set of measures on which we have worked with the European Commission, in particular with [European Commission Executive Vice President] Margrethe Vestager, which can relate either to state aid or to special loans for companies ... They must target in priority the most fragile companies, the companies that are gas-intensive and the companies that are exposed to international competition. This is the framework that we are defining and that has to be validated," France's Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told reporters at a press conference on Wednesday, after an online meeting of EU finance ministers.
EU countries have not yet been formally consulted, but initial reactions from some diplomats were cool, with one describing it as the Commission "getting ahead of itself."
In recent days, EU leaders have been calling on Brussels to make these kinds of proposals: "If you have a situation of sanctions and countersanctions, that will have an impact,” Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo told reporters on Tuesday. “Hence, at the European level, we strongly urge the European Commission to develop a package of measures to limit the economic impact.”
Prime Minister Mario Draghi of Italy, one of the countries that would be severely impacted if Putin turns off the gas taps,
told senators on Tuesday that "the war will have consequences on the price of energy, which we will have to face with new measures to support companies and families. It is appropriate that the European Union facilitates them, to avoid excessive repercussions on the recovery."
This would detail the conditions under which capitals would be allowed to shore up their companies affected by the Ukraine crisis, and ensure a fast-track approval from Brussels. Ongoing discussions focus on what would be the scope, the duration and the triggering event for such a new framework.
Brussels could also invite EU countries that haven't used up their entitlement of loans under the bloc's Recovery and Resilience Facility , the €723.8 billion joint-debt coronavirus recovery package, to ask for more financing. No country except Italy has requested the full amount of loans. Any new financing request under the facility would need to come with a spending plan subject to the Commission and Council's approval.
A third option would be for the EU to issue fresh debt to raise money that it would then lend to capitals at attractive rates, that could be used to counter a further spike in energy prices. The EU
treaties allow for the bloc to provide financial assistance to its members under "exceptional circumstances beyond its control," and "in particular if severe difficulties arise in the supply of certain products, notably in the area of energy."
Officials stressed this would require a signoff from EU capitals and some diplomats noted that raising new debt isn't their preferred option. "Better look into existing instruments than start fights about new money," said one EU diplomat.
Another EU diplomat was even more scathing: "The Commission is once more getting ahead of itself. Of course, we all need to look carefully at the economic and financial consequences of the current situation. But for some time to come, EU member states will still benefit largely from the recovery fund. Those extra billions should help them weather the current situation. In any case, the debate is taking a wrong turn: Our priority must be to urgently chip in to help Ukraine defend its statehood and preserve its economic basis — and not to look for some extra bucks from the EU."
The Commission refused to comment on any potential upcoming measures.
Bjarke Smith-Meyer, Lili Bayer and Barbara Moens contributed reporting.

If that makes the news here, the same you guys will come here and start quoting end time. US is enemy of Israel yen yen yen.

Ukraine did nothing wrong. Is it that most of you only had smartphone after 2014 or something?
In 2008, this same Ukraine filled out a request to join NATO. Russia did nothing, No region broke out, Crimea was still under Ukraine.
NATO rejected their request.
2010 election as it is normal in every country, every leader has its own opinion, the new President promised to make Ukraine join the EU but not NATO. 4 years into his reign, when Parliament had iron out of the wrinkles in Ukraine effort to join the EU, He enacted on his earlier promise.

When Ukrainian took to streets to protest, again as it is normal in any country, what did he do, send the military to suppress the protest.
this lead to riot and the people demanded he resign. He did and exiled to Russia.

Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, as if that wasn't enough, the backed the seperatists to destabilise Ukraine.

So where in all this is Ukraine fault??

Russia will nationalize assets of foreign firms that leave

Russia’s ruling party, United Russia, said on Wednesday that a government commission had approved the first step towards nationalizing assets of foreign firms that leave the country in the wake of economic sanctions over Ukraine.

United Russia added in a statement on the Telegram messaging app that the commission on lawmaking activity had supported a bill allowing for firms more than 25% owned by foreigners from “unfriendly states” to be put into external administration.

“This will prevent bankruptcy and save jobs,” it said.

Corporate actions to censure Russia over its invasion of Ukraine vary widely, with some firms like US carmaker Ford temporarily shutting down factories but others like British energy company BP promising to exit the country.

United Russia said according to the proposed bill companies who had announced they were leaving Russia could refuse to go into administration if within five days they resumed activities or sold shares, providing that the business and employees remained.

Otherwise, a court would appoint a temporary administration for three months, after which the shares of the new organization would be put up for auction and the old one would be liquidated, it added.

Russia supplies 40% of Europe oil no mean say da are highest producers of oil, as US produce highest followed by Saudi Arabia before Russia.
