The Russian military is not capable of fighting a military force with similar capability period.

And can I please ask why , , UK and the US didn't put boots in Ukraine even after the Russians brought in the North Koreans?

overhyped Russian military in Ukraine, can this Russia military invade a European power like ??


is like a tiger which has lost it teeths and claws. Such tiger has no chance against a formidable Bear like Russia and you know that.


The question you should be asking is why didn't Russia attack any Nato member country after Putin's many red lines were crossed...US and NATO weapons have killed thousands of Russians and will still kill more today..US and Co military personnels are not the ones dying in droves.. If anyone needs to escalate it should be Putin's Russia..But Putin is smart to know the consequences of facing off against the NATO alliance spearhead by the US.. Especially when it's military has been depleted by the Ukrainians...

Why will The US and Co put boots in the ground where they attacked?? Was the US and Co attacked by the Russians?? The ball is in Putin's Court!!

When the US invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam Etc this countries were Soviet/Russia ally .. Did the Soviet/Russia put boots on the ground?? The best the Soviet/Russia did was send military aid and instructors period.. That's what you call a "Cold War"

These countries the US ,UK ,, and these are democratic countries.. The leaders can't just move the military into battle without any form of aggression against it.. Especially when there's no legally binding Treaty that would necessitate such military engagement

Next time write without sentiment ok

The US expects to build excellent relations with China and Russia.

And that's his goal this term
To prosper Americans first.
For decades their romance with the rest of the West has brought in nothing but war and hate for America

Meanwhile Russia China economies keep booming

It is time to change the narrativex and try something different, that is trump!

The West has nothing to offer America, it's being years of America playing big brother to orphans, that can get tiring overtime

Smart trump decides why not become the biggest 3 ( China Russia USA ) instead of the strongest 26 (on paper) ?

That's exactly the cards he's playing this term and if you ask me it's a smart, cheaper, even one

You for ask them why Russian drones, missiles and aircrafts dey enter NATO airspace with reckless abandon and dem no fit shoot am down.

Dem dey ask for permission from Russia to shoot down the missiles. The highest dem fit do na to complain lol. And sometimes dem go even shift the blame to Ukraine 😂

A whole 32 powerful nations need to get permit from Russia 72 hours before they can sail their civilian ship on the Arctic & Barent sea.


These fools want Russia to leave Ukraine wey dem dey fight come to fight another country which have always been their plan, to divert Russia's attention from Ukraine. Open 2 or more fronts for Russia. Russia was smart enough to avoid that.

NATO did their possible best to make sure the second front wasn't in a NATO country lol. Them dey fear to fight Russia. They tried using Georgia and Moldova instead.

3 years later since President Putin's order to them, they are yet to step foot into Ukraine. Instead they disguise as mercenaries, even putting on Ukranian army uniforms, so the Russians can't tell who is who.

Masterviolence:

I hope Zelensky remains strong enough to resist the temptation of g away Ukraine's wealth to the U.S.

If he does go through with it, he could quickly fall from hero to villain in the eyes of his loyal ers.

What would be the ultimate gain after fighting against your own brother for a distant ally, only to lose your country's resources to that same ally without even securing a true guarantee of protection?

Meanwhile, your brother given the opportunity, takes the richest part of your state, and a decade from now, Ukraine could end up under the leadership of a pro-Russian president, undermining everything you falsely claimed to protect.

The big question 💯

Masterviolence:
This war has been prolonged due to Zelensky and those who seek to weaken Russia.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine mirrors its actions in Georgia, with NATO expansion being the underlying issue. I see many arguments claiming that Zelensky must defend Ukraine to prevent Russia from capturing and destroying it. However, that claim is highly impossible.

In January 2022, Russia had approximately 1,014,000 active military personnel. The invasion of Ukraine began with around 200,000 troops roughly 20% of its active forces.


Before Hitler’s invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, Poland had an area of 388,000 square kilometers and a population of 35 million.
Ukraine, in contrast, is significantly larger, covering 603,500 square kilometers, and had a population of about 41 million, making it even stronger.

Yet, Hitler invaded Poland with 1.5 million troops and over 1,000 aircraft, launching a relentless bombing campaign that left destruction in its wake.
Russia, on the other hand, entered Ukraine expecting a swift resolution, similar to Georgia. It would be misleading to compare Russia’s operation in Ukraine to historical invasions. Russia initially sought a quick roundtable negotiation, but the West had different plans. They even pushed Zelensky to sign a decree banning negotiations with Putin, despite knowing he had just secured re-election.


The real strategy was to exhaust Russia’s military strength before deploying Western forces on the ground. Recognizing this, Putin adapted, shifting to a prolonged, attritional warfare strategy that could last a decade.



You think these clowns don't know these things?

They just don't want to it Russia is more powerful than the west. They just cannot believe they've been deceived all these while.

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
.



Zelenskys is totally to be blamed. He totally banked on foregin to win a war against a super power. A very dumb strategy to start with, politically side are always shifting.

I would have blamed western leaders, but zele allowed himself and Ukraine To be used as a settlement ground for the NATO Russia beef that has been brewing for ages. Besides none of his western ers expected the economic clap back of the conflict. And when it came they had no choice but to abandon international interests for local ones.

Because of the war we tend to forget that the last 2 years have been shaky for most European countries, I believe that if they could they would have sent Ukraine what it "needed".

Lastly Russia was underestimated by Ukraine and the west. Another foolish mistake.

😂😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂

Countries fly aircraft close to countries airspace all the time, this are routine military action done by the airforces of nations around the world..

The US and Chinese do that all the time .. most time its to check the reaction time for nations to deploy their interceptors..

If we are to go buy your logic aircrafts will be falling from the skies everyday in Asia.. The US and the Chinese will be shooting aircrafts for fun...😂

When The Ukrainian air-defences malfunctioned and ended up in Poland, Did Russia deny it was theirs yes or No??😂 why did the Russian defence ministry deny the missile was from them.. if they weren't afraid to escalate??😂

You are not afraid of NATO yet you invade your neighbour to stop it from ing the same NATO?? Negotiations have started one the major point of Russia is that Ukraine shouldn't be itted into NATO.. can't you see how stupid your logic is??🤣

You are not afraid of NATO, yet you threatened a nuclear holocaust if the twin Scandinavian nations of Finland and Sweden are itted into NATO..🤣

Did Turkey not shoot down a Russian bomber?? Did heaven fall??


Funny boy... Nato weapons are killing Russians for sport you are here talking about mere airspace violation.🤣

⚡ is in discussions with Ukraine to access its mineral wealth, including for military use, Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said Thursday.

“We are discussing this question for ’s needs,” he told the info broadcaster, a day before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is to meet US President Donald Trump to finalise a deal on US access to Ukraine’s mineral wealth.

The French-Ukraine talks started in October and were led by both countries’ defence ministries, Lecornu said.

Unlike Trump, was not seeking any payback in the form of minerals from Ukraine for aid granted in of Kyiv’s war against Russia, he said.


“We’re not looking to be reimbursed,” Lecornu said. “But our defence industry will need a certain amount of raw materials that are absolutely key to our own weapons systems. Not next year, but in the coming 30 or 40 years.”

needed to “diversify” its sources for such commodities, he said, without identifying the minerals he hoped to obtain from Ukraine.

He said Zelensky himself had launched the idea “of including minerals in his plan for victory” last autumn, starting discussions “not just with the United States, but also with ”.
