What stats? Stats from your kitchen stats abi?

Nigerians are really uneducated people, now I know why our country is in a mess.

There was never a time in history that the US had more nukes than Russia.. Or even missiles than Russia.

As at 1972 Russia had 72,000 nukes, the US had 50,000.

kettykin:

Thank God Ukraine cut Russia into size. Russia will think very very carefully before invading another country.

Starzo:

Omo nor be lie

But all the money they're spending on weapons, wouldn't it be better spent on other things?

I watched a video on YouTube,many Russians consider their country too dull ...like everything is static. No much spontaneous fun recreational activities.

Many still preferred life in the US

kettykin:


We are talking about the second strongest military in the whole world fighting against a non rated military, even Ukraine is occupying a part of the Russian federation

WritterNg:


If na only "cheap" drones Russia dey produce. NATO go fear them?

Lol... Some of una no really understand wetin dey go on.

WritterNg:


Lies. No Russian prefer life in the US.

They even mock the US with all the LGBTQ, 99 gender nonsense and madness happening in the US.

Let's not even talk about the everyday mass shootings.

UKRAINE-RUSSIA WAR; A BRUTAL LESSON IN GEOPOLITICS AND WAR HISTORY

The war in Ukraine has claimed millions of lives and brought chaos into the doorstep of western Europe once again ever since the balkanization of Yugoslavia.

To my fellow readers, Yorubas and non Yorubas, I will beg you to leave emotions and humbly learn what Gorbachev called "realpolitik", we call it Geopolitics. Geopolitics is war, history, politics and conquest. To understand it, is to crack the code of how our world works, therefore I am begging us to please use Ukraine-Russia scenario as an opportunity to decolonize our weak and naive minds as black Africans. Before we start this brief intellectual journey, I will like to State it categorically that I am not pro Russia or pro West, I am just an African pouring out my thoughts as regards the future of our world.

The world is divided into two blocs namely;
1. The Superpowers
2. and the rest of us.

Who are the Superpowers? Superpowers are regional or global bullies. They use their soft and brutal power to crush lesser empires and lesser countries. That has always been the way of the world from the time of Babylon to the times of the Ummayid caliphate till this present moment.
We saw what Trump did by unilaterally renaming the more 300 years old Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. That's the definition of Superpowers! Can Germany or UK try that in 2025? No! But America can do it, Russia can try it and China can dare it. The three powers are regional superpowers!

Ever since the fall of the USSR, we only had one Unipolar power in the world which was the United States of America. USA was able to use her economic power to turn European colonial powers into vassals of America. It created NATO and other proxy organization to build an American empire.
The rise of China has created a rival super power that is far more capable than USSR. The emergence of Putin has also led to the rise of a resurgent Russia which is slowly rebuilding its Russian empire brick by brick.

Ukraine is the European country sitting on the black sea which has a considerable ethnic Russian population in its Eastern axis. The politics of Ukraine is tored between pro Russian elements versus pro Western elements.

Ukraine and Russia are the bread and food baskets of the world and Europe especially. Cheap Russian Gas and cheap steels and other goods from Ukraine has been one of the things sustaining the prosperity of Europe.

This are my postulations as regards to the whole scenario;
1. European powers underestimated the military and economic resilience of Putin and they thought they could Ukraine another Slavic powerhouse to cannibalise Russia.
2. They thought Russia will be afraid to confront NATO in Ukraine.
3. They expected an internal coup detat to destroy Russia from within because of the cost of the war on Russia but Russia was able to build a powerful war time economy that wasn't expected at all.

Now let's talk about what Ukraine lost in this war-
1. 1/4 of the population of Ukraine have left the country as refugees permanently and might never return to Ukraine till eternity.
2. Ukraine has lost nearly 25 percent of its land mass to Russia.
3. Eastern Ukraine is like the Lagos and Niger Delta of Ukraine. Russia has taken it away from Ukraine.
4. Ukraine has lost 80 percent of its sea access to the black sea meaning that Ukraine is almost transforming from a coastal sea powerhouse in 2021 to a landlocked country in 2025.
5. 60 percent of the mineral resources in Ukraine is now in the hands of Russia.
6. Nearly 1 million Ukrainans have lost their lives.
7. Western multinational corporations have bought nearly 60 percent of the remaining fertile soil in Ukraine as a compensation for assisting Ukraine in the war.
8. The less than 40 percent mineral resources in Ukraine has been sold out to USA as a collateral for loans during the war.
9. Russia now control almost the entirety of the black sea.

10. He who controls Eurasia will become an Empire and Russia understands this and they won this war.
11. Ukraine will not join NATO.
12. Ukraine will not join EU.
13. Ukraine will probably self implode after the war is over.

Conquest is a legal means to acquire land in the international rule of law. Israel took Golan height and Mount Hermon from Syria via war till today and nothing has happened.
Turkey stole Northern cyprus from Cyprus since the 1970s, nothing has happened and the world moved on.

This is the definition of power and Geopolitics.
I hope we learnt some lessons.

Oga close your mouth. you know nothing. You are a child in geopolitics. You are obviously biased. You hate the west because you are probably a Muslim which is quite understandable. But please come out out clean. Stop hiding.

Russia can never win this war.

I have lived in all parts of Europe for over 30 years. I have been to over 50 countries. Just hold on. Watch what will happen to Putin.

Na why ordinary guerilla fighters conquered Russia's partner now. Wars are not won by number of cheap drones. Syria wouldn't have fallen if it were by number of Russia weapons.

madridguy:
But you never said what will happen to Zelensky and Ukraine.

That's not an excuse.

You're telling me a whole 32 countries cannot outproduce 1 country?

I thought you all said the US has more firepower.

The Ukraine war really exposed the US.

SeraphicWind:


It will be a very prolonged war. At the end of the day, it is about resources. That is why I said you know nothing. Just so you know, the actual aim of the WEST is being achieved. Do you know the heavy toll this war is taking on russia? Do you know the billions frozen in dollars and assets?

Can't you see that this has forced Russia to pump more oil and sale it cheap to India and China? Cheaper energy means cheaper cost of production for these countries and therefore cheaper goods. Where are all these manufactured goods heading to?

THE POWERFUL WEST.

This means there citizens get to enjoy fruits of cheap labour sourced from China and India because of Cheap Russian gas.

Money meant for buying trains, medicaments and car parts are now being channelled into war.

Are you not aware that the USA is a war state that reaps massively from wars?

If I may even ask you, do you honestly believe that Russia can win NATO?

Even the China you mentioned has 80% of their wealth stored in dollars. They can't even afford the risk of saling weapons to Russia. They understand the game.

If they sale their weapons to Russia or involve in the war, their assets will be frozen. That is why they have refused to take the bait and forfeit the debt the USA owes them.

madridguy:
Let keep the fingers across. I see no sense in Zelensky prolonging the war when he has lost close to 25% of Ukraine land mass to Russia. They're about to he landlocked and yet you too by prolonging the war Russia will be weak.

Selling cheap fuel to India is a win win situation to Russia because the same Western countries are the one buying the same product from India.

Their sanctions are no longer working and every of their plans to weak Russian forces is not yielding result.

Let the war continue till 2090, Ukraine will still be on the loosing side.
