I have gone through the detailed agreement and its still the same I saw few days ago .

I just want to know where does it states that the agreement carry a security clause for Ukraine regards minerals deal as you rightly said...cos I am seeing nothing of such here...anyways let's wait till Friday..
This is all you need. I like the part that says "take such action as necessary to protect.............."
That's a nice way of putting it. Its a very ambiguous statement that the action could be military, financial, or anything.
I don't want to be predictive, but in the case Ukraine is unable to do so, it's just a matter of time before US troops come in to secure their 500 billion dollars investment.

Putin all day, i prefer Putin as a leader because of his strong focus on national sovereignty and his ability to maintain stability, especially during challenging times. Putin is more experience in governance and strategic decision-making, particularly in defense and foreign policy, this is very important in today's world.
These are undeniably qualities of strong and patriotic leadership that you’ve highlighted in describing Putin. His unwavering commitment to national sovereignty, emphasis on stability, extensive experience in governance, and strategic decision-making all converge in a single figure.

Whether one ires or despises him, the way this invasion unfolded prompting nearly all of Russia’s neighbors to unite against it underscores the significance of his leadership. Without Putin’s capabilities, Russia might have fractured and faced a fate similar to that of the Soviet Union.

Though he is far from perfect and undoubtedly entangled in various controversies, his influence operates on an entirely different level.

If US is so almighty, why did Biden and his minions not try a full scale invasion of Russia?

Which country are you talking about?? Poland!! Is Poland and the other baltic states at par with the Russians?? I said a military at par with the Russians.

Russia should fly its drones over US territory or the Chinese..and see what happens??
When Russia fired an ICBM into Ukraine why did they informed the US first?? grin

Poland and the other baltic states would of course be scared of facing the "Teddy bear" Russia, Russia dwarfed their military 10 to 1. That's not rocket science. That's why they are in NATO.. And why Putin would never think of invading them because that brings the US into the mix via the NATO's charter..
Putin's ain't stupid enough to invade a NATO member.
his famed imaginary "Red lines"🤣🤣🤣😂

Only did not wait for US approval to allow their weapons to be used deep into Russian territory.

P.S The Russian military is not capable of fighting a military force with similar capability period.. imagine struggling with a certain Ukraine in your backyard where you don't need much logistics..

One question with the abysmal performance of the overhyped Russian military in Ukraine, can this Russia military invade a European power like ??

Here we go again. Who are you to label some conflicts, 'limited'. talk about silly definitions.

According to the Russian, this is a special military operation and fighting has been mainly limited to the East. You can compare this exactly with the Taliban counteroffensives during the US occupation of Afghanistan. My brother, there is nothing like limited conflicts; are they war or not? Stop beating about the bush.


obedience4:



You this dude, why write on things you know nothing about.

Do you know there's a difference between a full-scale war and limited conflicts..

The UK general election was postponed due to world war 2 it was supposed to hold in 1940 but was moved to 1945 only after the victory of the allies were secured..A whole 5 years...Here you are crying wolf about a certain Zelensky who hasn't even completed 4 years.. who's country is facing the largest invasion in Europe not seen since the hay days of ww2..

in ww2 also postponed its election and was held once the nation was liberated.

I see you added the Yom Kippur war that's funny. If there's any country with a long history of postponing elections due to military conflicts it will be the Jewish state. Some people even propagated that BIBI is prolonging the war in gaza to keep his hold on power.

The Yom Kippur war was fought in Israeli occupied sinai in the sinai peninsula, and in Israeli controlled goland heights in Syria..hence were was no hostilities in Israelis territories.. even at that the legislative election was postponed and was conducted only after the war has ended.

Here you are f**lishy comparing the Ukrainian war to the Yom Kippur war, A Ukrainian war being fought inside Ukrainian territory. How do you conduct elections when virtually all of Ukraine are under range of Russian missiles..🤣🤣

I see you wrote the Afghanistan war.. funny dude. that wasn't a conventional warfare fought by the taliban..
And this was a limited conflict. In 2014 the US had displaced the taliban and the sect was relegated to the mountainous region of Northern Afghanistan. There was generally a sense of stability in Afghanistan. Also there was a multinational force led by the US providing security for the Afghanistan authorities. who's gonna provide security for electoral officials in Ukraine?? Comparing the conflict in Afghanistan to the war in Ukraine is total rubbish..is like saying Nigeria shouldn't conduct elections because of the insurgency in the north..

The US example is even the worst of them all. Do you even think at all?? The Civil War 1864 elections, the war was fought mainly in controlled confederate states.. the rest of the continental US was largely untouched by the war. The civil war wasn't fought in US territory but in confederate states who seek to succeed from the US.

I see you wrote ww1and ww2, both World Wars,🤣🤣🤣😂 these conflicts did not take place on U.S. soil. The war was fought outside the US, and there was virtually no chance that it should disrupt her electoral process. The closest scenario of US territory getting affected in ww2 was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941 and this was outside the continental US territory..

There was no election in Columbia. Only a Plebiscite was done, and this was done after a peace deal was agreed..

The Iraqi elections is also the same as scenario like the Afghanistan elections. The conflict with the terrorist were limited, and the Iraqi had the US military providing security..

The Ukrainian elections was held when seperatists were fighting in the dombass region, there's a huge difference fighting seperatists and an invasion from one of the most powerful military in the world..should Nigerian stop its election process because of hostilities in the north??

The Bosnian, Sri Lanka, labenon examples are limited conflicts..

Ukraine is not the first country to postpone elections during a large scale war and she won't be the last..

He's a hard man with a thick skin no doubt. So if you ever ask me again to go with either of Putin or Zelensky I won't think twice before taking Putin. Let's be clear on that, even when Buhari became president during his first term, I hated the man but still ired his courage and determination. Man tried and tried and tried till it happened 😂😂. Such a shame he turned out to be a cow.

Please remove the word, ' Annihilation' from this post, you are using it wrongly. Tell me the truth, Did you think Putin really want to 'annihilate' Ukraine. If you want to see an example of intent to annihilate, check out Israel and Gaza. The statistics don't lie.
obedience4:


Comic and meek 🤔🤔

It's easy to be tag a strong leader when you virtually have the entire nation in your hands without any form of check and balances.. It also easy to be tag strong when you have a formidable military to call upon..

How many leaders would sit and fight when faced with total annihilation from a vastly superior enemy. The same "comic and meek" Zelensky stood and fought the Russians. We saw Assad cowardly left the throne his grandather and father fought so hard to to him..

I his nightly posts on Telegram. Dude singlehandedly rally his nation during the early stages of the invasion..

Yes the war became long and tiring for the Ukrainians, Russia's numerical advantage and technological superiority would later begin to creap in and untimely the gulf between the military capabilities of both nations would become center stage..

Zelensky is a good leader, Without him at the helm of affairs, there would be no Ukrainian state today..

We all look but see differently the key is perceptions

⚡Trump's son stated that the U.S should have supplied weapons to Russia:

"I can't imagine anyone in their right mind choosing Ukraine as an ally when Russia is on the other side of the scale.

Just think about it - a powerful nuclear power, rich in natural resources that everyone needs. The largest, damn it, country on the planet. Against Ukraine, which has Chernobyl and dogs that are resistant to radiation.

At the same time, the Biden istration is like: yes, that's the ally we need! Let's invest all our money in them! The U.S. should have supplied weapons to Russia if it came to that."

There are so many fallacies in your little essay.

First, Russia didn't initially want to take Kiev, and they didn't even need to. They only needed to surround the capital and get Zelensky to call for peace talks. Just take a look at what Russia did in Georgia in 2008. They could have taken Tbilsi but they withdrew because Sakashvili agreed to peace talks. , only a few hundred Russian troops were parachuted around Kiev initially, taking Hostomel airport and some other facilities. There was a second, much larger force approaching from Belarus. That was the large convoy that was just stationary without any move.

I believe the greatest mistake of Putin was not going hard from the beginning. Russia could have taken Kiev with the first surprises. Even the Europeans and globalists couldn't believe their luck and it gave them the erroneous feeling that they could defeat Russia. It's 3 years now and check out hoe it is going.

obedience4:
Am not trying to castigate anyone's opinion.. since Masterviolence has started the series of arguments in a sane and Liberal way. I feel compel to counter his assumptions while also trying to be Liberal myself..

Russia was trying to decapitate the Ukrainian government by taking the seat of government which is the capital keiv.. that was the objective during the early stages of the war. Taking over the Ukrainian capital and removing Zelensky would have rendered the Ukrainian forces incapable of mounting a defence.. Ukraine and what ever would have remained afterwards would be a puppet state of Russia.

Capturing Kiev and removing Zelensky from power can also be judged as "Capturing" the whole of Ukraine depending on what perspective you are looking at it..A Ukrainian state with a puppet of Putin's in power is not a sovereign state...

Trying to used the numbers of troops involved in the early stages of the war to buress your point is clearly wrong, The Russians were clearly trying to instigate a regime change in Ukraine, You don't need a million troops to do that.. Hitler wanted to occupy Poland and not change the power dynamics in Poland..for you to invade and occupy a country you need massive manpower not only to remove the sitting government but also to enforce the occupation..

The US invasion of Panama comes to mind. The total US troops were 20k that's a fraction of the total US military population.. the plan was to enforce a regime change in Panama..

Also the invasion of Iraq. the US troops were 400k plus
A mere fraction of the total US military active personal at that time. The US just like Russia at the early stage of the present Ukrainian war was trying to change the government in Iraqi. the moment Baghdad fell the Iraqi resistance crumbled and the Iraqi forces surrendered..

The invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent invasion of keiv and the war of attrition currently in the dombass are two distinct military operation.. the moment Putin failed to instigate the regime change in Ukraine he decided to annexed territory for himself hence the uptick in military personnel being deployed by Russia in the dombass region..Not only would Russia need troops to defeat the Ukrainians but will also need troops to enforce and defend the occupation.

The defeat of the Russians in keiv. Made the Ukrainians believed that with reasonable military aid they could change the tide of the war and even recover lost territory.. The western bureaucracy debacle stopped the Ukrainians from getting offensive weapons in time to start the offensive..and also the unpredictability of Putin.. the fear of Putin expanding the war.. meant that the Russians had ample time to dug deep and prepare its defences hence the Ukrainian offensive failed..

Zelensky had no blame whatsoever for how the war turned in Ukraine
