RichMelanin: 1. Russian economy is not an industrialized manufacturing economy, they don't make much beyond military products. Have you ever seen any made-in-Russia products around you or in your life.? 2. Russia can not sell anything meaningful as we speak beyond oil and gas that are still subject to strict sanctions which could happen in the next few days because of the massacre and atrocities Putin committed in Ukraine. Btw, what are the abundant products that Russia will throw into the international market and who are the buyers? Have you ever wondered why China is not helping Russia apart from buying oil? The fear of sanctions and collateral damage. China can not afford to suffer economic damage because of Russia. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

So your parents are from Cuba?..lol... Did anybody force you to go to Cuba?... Is anybody forcing you to go to Zamfara?... If you like be a woman... that's you and the wig you wear on your head business. Ask yourself who on this planet or in your village will go on vacation where they think it's not beautiful to great to see or visit?.. I will pay for you and your group to go on vacation in Zamfara state, you either take my offer or reject it. 1stGenAmerican: 2 Likes |

gambojimeta: I love it when people reject rhetoric and embrace the truth. At the beginning of the invasion, Putin’s fans on Nairaland that don’t understand world politics or global economics swore that China would soon rush to rescue Russia. They’re still waiting like I said they’d be. You just gave them a dose of the truth about China and other countries that they have a glorified view of. China’s top priority is money and China won’t let any other country disrupt their flow of money. 3 Likes 1 Share |

So Cuba is a great place with a resort...lol...To close this topic, have you heard of resorts in Russia, Iran and Belarus? What do they have in common with Cuba, sanctions right. So my point is if Cuba with sanctions for over or close to tens of years is building resorts... Why can't Russia that have more wealth and resources build more resorts in Russia so I can go on group vacation too? Tdotbluejays1: |

toxtimmy: Typical Nigerian that resorts to insults when challenged. I don’t wear wigs and if you read my response then you’d know the answer to whether or not my parents are from Cuba. The vacation to Cuba was to celebrate policy changing since US citizens had been restricted from traveling there since the embargo. I traveled with 7 other people. Today, a round trip ticket to Nigeria from my nearest airport is $1967 USD x 8 people = $15,736usd, flight only. Add in other expenses and I’m sure that it’s more than you’ll see this year. I appreciate your shot at being humorous though. 2 Likes |

toxtimmy:People go to vacation in Russia. My work colleague travelled there for one week just before Covid. This would likely change after the invasion due to airline sanctions. Are planes still flying to Russia from the West? I do not think so. When I say resort, I mean countries that are poor or extremely poor still have resorts. A resort is not a measure of how well a country is doing. Jamaica, South Africa, Egypt e.t.c all have resort for mostly western tourist. In Mexico, western tourist in groups or individuals get bussed with heavy security to their resort which has private beaches and hotels e.t.c same as Cuba. Tourist rarely leave their resorts. Resorts are all inclusive. Nothing to do with how well the economy of that country is doing. Infact, the government of those countries go above and beyond to take care of tourist due to revenues from tourism. 3 Likes |

While am not in support of war, I feel Zelensky is going too far. Na him Minister dey announce now say other countries close borders? This Zelensky is a joke. As the west don abandon am like dead project he still refused to sign the dear, and he is just gingering his people to go and die. To me, Russia is even going easy with them because they just want to things (1) Forget ever joining NATO (2) Foget the Crimea you neglected.

grandstar: At least, you made sense and argue maturely unlike some of the kids we have in here that argue from a point of emotions. Now, let's get this straight. Russia did not put anyone at Putin's mercy. Rather, it's the EU beurocrats that is putting themselves at the mercy of Russian exports. There is a reason why the EU is divided when it comes to banning Russian oil and gas. Not only would they be committing economic and political suicides, the fact is, there is no good alternative to Russian oil and gas, and weaning themselves off Russian gas is not just feasible at least for the next 5 years for the major European economies. If that's the consequences they want to damn, well, no one is holding them; they can proceed. Moreover, if the EU nations stop buying Russian oil and gas today, of course, Russia export reserves will be squeezed, but it will also drive oil prices higher, as global supply constricts without Russian oil. The price of a barrel of oil went past $110 weeks ago even as the EU debated its moves. Analysts have warned that prices could touch $200; even more dramatically, Russia has warned of $300 oil if the EU halts oil and gas imports. According to European Central Bank estimates, a 10% gas shortfall will trigger a 0.7% contraction in GDP. A total ban on Russian energy is likely to shove the EU into recession, Rishi Sunak, the UK’s chancellor of the exchequer, warned last week. And the effects will spread, Sunak said; the UK economy would take nearly a $100 billion hit, or about 3% of its GDP. So, Europe will be the one to suffer more. The reason is obvious: you cannot replace 'cheap' oil and gas. Russia isn't really desperately looking for buyers for its oil. Lmao. The US, Canada and Australia aside, the EU is just 27 nations, out of the 44 countries in Europe, and not all of them subscribed to banning Russian oil, e.g, Turkey and Hungary. The remaining 17 countries don't care from who they buy their oil. Plus, there is southeast Asia market, with the ever oil and gas hungry Chinese market waiting to soak up every drop even at a fair discount. Who wouldn't bounce at the opportunity to get cheap oil? This was how Venezuela and Iran circumvented the western ban on their oil. The Chinese and Indian market alone would dwarf any shortfall an outright EU ban on Russian oil might bring. We saw this playbook in 2021, when Chinese buyers gorged on cheap oil from Iran and Venezuela, taking the most from the U.S.-sanctioned regimes in three years. Observed imports were 324 million barrels that year, a rise of 53%, according to data and analytics firm Kpler. In fact, since the start of the Ukrainian war, India have already purchased 13 millions barrels of Russian Ural oil. On agriculture, Russia is the number one producer of wheat in the world while Ukraine ranks 5th. Russia ranks 6th in global corn production while Ukraine ranks 5th. On Barley production, Russia ranks 2nd after the EU with Ukraine a distant behind. Ukraine and Russian leads in Sunflower production. So, as you can see, Russia is also a major force to reckon with on global agricultural scale. A country that is technologically advance, mostly self-sufficient in healthcare needs, produces its own foods, and is completely energy self-sufficient, can never be intimidated by sectional sanctions nor can it be ever isolated as some dimwits would want you to believe. Why? Because it's a global player and many other parts of the world needs it inputs to thrive. 3 Likes 1 Share |
