USA invaded Iraq during the time of Saddam, when Iraq was the 4th largest army in world, his army,airforce ,was conquered in 4days
No threat of nuke against Iraq then
The Almighty Russia they threaten countries that don't even rank 25th in the world with Nukes
At this point The west would make sure Russia is behind the world 30years
How many of you have ever held a made in Russia product.
Russia is has been leaving in the soviet era glory
Honestly without nukes
Those Yankees and their marines can take over Moscow in a week

Russia might just get to a point where the world will have no other choice than to invade them.

If US truly wants world peace, they should start by disbanding all military alliances like NATO.

Military alliance are like cult groups. An attack on one is an attack all and this is a threat to non members of such alliance.

As an individual, I don't know how you will feel if your next door neighbour, joins a deadly cult group that are your one time enemy. This means, they can start having their meetings next door. The slightest misunderstanding with your neighbour, becomes a misunderstanding with the entire cult group. I believe this is what Russian is trying to avoid.

Aside this, cult groups give rise to other cult group. Most people join this groups for protection. This can also be said for military alliances. It would give rise to rival military alliance.

NATO is a cult. Russian is within their right to defend itself from cultist.

This is the most stupid thing I have seen in nairaland
Only Germany during the second world war invaded Russia then the Soviet Union..
France and the Soviet Union now mostly Russia were Allies during the war..
Sweden was neutral during world war 2.
Poland was the First to be invaded by the Nazi Germany during world war2.
Bro were do you get your info from?

sonofElElyon:


And so you think even mighty NATO would be quick to trigger a nuclear war when the nuclear warheads in existence are enough to wipe out the world like 7 times over if not more ?

Sltp:
Ukraine currently has the second largest military in Europe. Iraq had the 4 largest Army in the world but that was several years before the invasion. So what's your argument?

Note, there is a difference between large and powerful.

Google my friend the strength of the Iraq army when the West attack it

MrDebonair:


You are not wise. Russian nukes versus over 35 countries Nukes. Go figure. Everything is nuke to Russia nothing more.

Nato will place nukes too at the borders of Sweden and Finland.

My guy the internet contains so much information all you need to do is filter out the authentic ones and READ.
US did not conquer Iraq in 4 days like you claimed, the war lasted over a month and it took several other months before their president was captured.
As at March 2003 during the Iraq invasion Iraq had nothing close to the 4th biggest army in terms of findings or personnel. It was in 1990 when Iraq increased their troops to over 900,000 thousand that the Iraq had the 4th largest army but as at the time of the invasion Iraq had least than 350,000 troops.
US wasn’t the only country that invaded Iraq though they lead the invasion Great Britain sent over 45,000 British soldiers, Poland and other countries sent troops.
Iraq didn’t have any military aid from any country like Ukraine is having now (over 2 billion dollars worth of military equipments have been sent to Ukraine so far, alongside intelligence) Iraq fought the US and all her Allies alone.

So when next you come public to compare the US led invasion of iraq with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine get your facts right. They’re very widely read people on Nairaland that are very knowledgeable.

HigherEd:

The only thing Russia has is nukes. Without nukes, the European union is more than enough to finish the Russian military.

Adjovi:
All of u are just shouting what of Russia evades them that's why dey want to join NATO bla blah blah. Why will Russia evade Finland and Sweden if they don't do anything as going against their neutrality? Ukraine brought this upon themselves and if Finland and Sweden are not careful Russia will do the same to them.

if Russia claims to be almighty should it bother them?

Russia will beef up security along its Western borders if Sweden and Finland join NATO and there would be no more talk of a nuclear-free Baltic, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia and former Russia President (2008-2012), Dmitry Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel on Thursday.

The Baltic Sea is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, enclosed by Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Sweden and the North and Central European Plain.

Finland gained independence from Russia in 1917 and fought two wars against it during World War Two during which it lost some territory to Moscow.

Sweden has not fought a war for 200 years and post-war foreign policy has focused on supporting democracy internationally, multilateral dialogue and nuclear disarmament.

We’re talking about nukes that can reduce entire Europe to rubbles within days you’re talking about ‘made in Russia products’

Do they say they’re interested in making useless products that the world don’t need? They hv natural resources that they’re selling worldwide, as well as being the largest arms supplier in the world - all funds of which they’re using the funds to build their country and would arm themselves to teeth whatever it takes! What has our darling nation done for herself? You’re ailing the US and opposing Russia as if you’re a conflict refree… bro, any sneezes by Russia in terms of all out war, the whole world will catch cold! You do know they hv nearly 7thousand nuke warheads right?

WATCHOVER:

Thats was when they give license to other companies to produce, because they stopped late 1991
