Nasser al-Amir, deputy chairman of the Houthi Media Council:

“We will not leave Gaza and Palestine, even if the whole world comes to our doorstep and collects all the weapons of the world in Sanaa. Victory will be ours, and there will be victory in Gaza and Palestine. This is God's promise."

As always, the Houthis show that they fear no one but Allah.

Western military equipment will be destroyed not only in Ukraine, but also on the territory of other countries if attacks on Russia come from there, Medvedev said.

The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council added that Russia proceeds from the fact that all long-range weapons supplied to Ukraine are directly controlled by the NATO military.

Houthis’ Red Sea blockade makes Russia’s Northern Sea Route attractive to desperate West.

With the US and Britain proving unable to dislodge the Houthis from their strongholds or stop the militia from attacking Israeli-linked, American and British vessels in the Red and Arabian Seas, commercial shippers have increasingly eyed Russia’s Northern Sea Route as an attractive potential alternative, a leading mainstream US news magazine has reported.

“The surging costs and fear of getting hit by Houthi drones and missiles have led some shippers to consider the Arctic as an alternative, as melting ice begins opening new potential on the so-called Northern Sea Route,” Foreign Policy wrote.


The article ‘discovered’ what Russian officials and media have been saying for years – that the 5,600 km Northern Sea Route is the shortest maritime route between Europe and Asia, and can shave 8,000 km or more of distance, and 40-60 percent in time, off shipments, compared to traditional Europe-Asia routes through the presently troubled waters in the Middle East.

“The ability to slash some 5,000 miles off a ship’s journey would mean much faster travel times – a major plus in today’s world of online retail and next-day delivery,” FP said.

Unfortunately for the West, there’s a catch; 70% of the Arctic, including virtually the entire length of the Arctic portion of the route, passes through Russian waters. “Ships wanting to use the route must secure the Russians’ permission and pay them transit fees. Given current relations between many Western countries and Russia amid the Ukraine war, that poses an obvious challenge,” the magazine lamented.

LordAdam16:


Your concerns are very valid.

Ukraine is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to degrade Russian security architecture.
No way, the US and NATO passes up the opportunity.

As Russia bites more out of Ukraine, the West will see it as casus belli to escalate.
The nuclear radar strike, authorization to strike Russia directly are responses to the Kharkiv success and Russia preparing to push to the Dneiper from all axes.
The Russian general staff will have to come up with a severe deterrent.
I don't think the nuclear exercises, smoking foreign operators in Ukraine, and clandestine acts of sabotage deep within NATO territory are enough anymore.

The crazy thing is that many (certainly a lot of the decision makers) in NATO believe the Ukraine War is existential.
Many of us onlookers think that is hysteria, but those f*ckers believe Ukraine accepting a loss of part of its territory to end the war will be the Hegemony's death knell.
And they're not going to let that happen without exacting a huge price on Russia.

This was always one of the potential dangers of Putin's slow-and-steady gambit.
Anyway, we'll see how Russia adapts to new realities.

Whatever happens, always have an exit plan and a bug out bag ready, since it's all happening in your neighborhood.
Like I'm 95% sh*t won't hit the fan, but I'm fallible.

-Lord

But they are right. The war in Ukraine is the death blow of US hegemony. I can explain.

Of all the countries bordering Russia, only Ukraine is the unicorn to launch any offensive to Russia. The baltic countries combined are about 6M people, and millions are ethnic Russians, and wont fight other Russians.

Finland is the only country with the longest border with Russia, but all those bordering regions are frozen artic wasteland. No offensive can come from there.

Norway borders Russia through Murmansk, but nothing can come from there. No invasion, no fear of anything, and its so far to Moscow.

Poland borders Russia through Kaliningrad, a small Island with lots of nukes, that's NATO's worst nightmare. Annexing Kaliningrad doesn't defeat Russia.

But Ukraine has all the advantages Nato could ever wish for. A huge population with huge military. Very close to Russia's heartland, a huge territory, and border nato's countries for military supplies.

Ukraine also will have the longest border with Russia if it eventually joins nato, especially with the annex territories. Ukraine can single-handedly be a launchpad to nuke Russia.

Also the signs were written everywhere. Ukraine has signified its intention to acquire nukes, and the russophobia of the west have taken a stronghold in Ukraine (like Taiwan and Mainland China).

Ukraine also have no natural barriers for Russian invasion, hence all previous invasion of Russia went through Ukraine.

And most importantly, It is near impossible to defeat China alone, but with Russia, it is completely impossible; Because China might be the global manufacturing giant, but it needs resources to power its industries, which it has through Russia.

So if Russia is successful in Ukraine, then western hegemony haa been nailed, once and for all. Eurasia will control the world, and there is no way the US will let it happen.

It will get worse than this before it gets better. If nukes were not in the picture, then I wont worry. Europe was completely destroyed during WW2 but rebuilt.

But with nukes? this will be the time dying will be a good fortune than being alive. Thats the worse invention human have ver developed.

Look at their names sef. One nuke Russia has is called SATAN, imagine that.

What some of you smoke or drink offline is not my problem, my problem is coming online to meet you guys here..
How can you people be talking about Russia defeats in today's present world, how, when will it happen?
A country so genius militarily, its taking the entire world to come together to fight??

A country so blessed with strategic powerfull allies, it's now enjoying the economic benefits of these partnerships?

Or is it a country so united under the present leadership you want to break??

Let's analyse everything one by one;

Military: the best and most powerful on earth with best yielded nuclear and chemical stock pile.

Economically: China, India, ME and the global south propping steadily.

Internal political climate: At it's finest since 1991/2000
So pls nairaland analyst, how will present Russia be defeated. I'll like to read and hear from you guys here.
I sometimes try not to comment on stupid comments here.

I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's wise if these opinions are wrapped up with factual and realistic points.

Talking about a Russia defeat is the height of unawareness and delusional self painted reality that anyone can think of in 21st century.

Russia is going nowhere, a country that has existed for over a thousand years in different forms and still thriving after series of downfalls over the course of her existence is something we need to study on our own even if we don't agree with them perhaps some of us hate them but we can't deny the fact that they're some worth great in all ramifications.

I laugh at some here that argues about Russia slow pace in development of the t-14 tank or the su- 57 stealth fighter.
Yes, they're slow because of several factors including the financial capacity to rapidly build these weapons but what most of you turn a blind eye to is their nuclear capabilities.

Over the course of 5 decades, Russia has not only upgraded her nukes, but has made diversification in this aspect.
WW3 we be the only time we truly know the capability of the Russians.
Russia has poured all her resources into developing her nukes rather than building up convectional power, I hope we don't find out the reason for this soon enough.

A country at war that gets its power generating plants hit by multiple missiles almost every night still having more electricity than our dear country, despite electricity costing more in Nigeria.

E no go better for everyone handling the electricity in Nigeria, starting from the minister of darkness and the person that appointed him. "I have been preparing for president all my life" don appoint useless person to manage the power ministry. Despite the blatant incompetence and widespread discrimination, he still kept him there. Makes you wonder if all he has been preparing is to return Nigeria back to the Stone age.
