I don’t have to be an authority before commenting on the on going war between these two brothers who are of the same parentage.

However, I wonder what kind of a fool would allow a sworn enemy to camp at his door step.

The decision of the Russian authorities to invade Ukraine is aimed at preventing that country from not only joining NATO, but also providing an abode to the US and it’s western allies in Ukrain; thereby jeopadising the Russian nation and rendering it’s security naked.

Russia, with it’s no nonsense leader in the person of *Vladimir Putin* is quite conscious of the dangers posed by allowing Ukraine to join NATO.

The alliance have taken enough of some members of the former Soviet Union who have disguisley joined the EU and then crossed over to the north alliance as Russia watched, not helplessly though but concentrated in the fortification of it’s territories and the creation of more lethal weapons to defend itself and it’s interest should such a situation like this spring up at any time.

The annexation of Crimea would have been enough a lesson for Ukrain as that part of it all of which including Ukrain itself were part and parcel of Russia.

It is about three years today that Ukraine lost Crimea, what did the west, the EU or the UN do to reverse the situation.

That both know that nothing and no one can force Russia to reverse it’s decision on the annexation.

The pledge for arms and other palliative assistance by the west and other EU or NATO members can only remain a pledge for now for as soon as the Russians complete encircling Ukraine, then there will be no way unless if the items so supplied are meant for the Russians.

Untill and unless the western world and the toothless bulldog in the name of the United Nations comes to terms with realities and also accept the full responsibility of defending the human right and human dignity, which the much desired global peace shall remain elusive.

The United Nations must think outside the box and source for other means of funding rather than depend on the United States and some western Nations who at any point in time could perpetrate any kind of crime without the fear of anyone raising a finger and the so called UN will only look the other way.

The Russians have every right to invade Ukraine for the purpose of securing their nation against an obvious enemy effort of hanging at it’s doorstep.

When Britain invaded the Falkland Island in the early 80s, then nobody condemned her action.

The entire western world were clapping when a group of cronies led by the US invaded and destroyed Iraq under the Bush Administration.

What did the UN do? Isreal has forcefully taken and annexed Palestinian lands and making them refugees in their own lands; did the condemnation by the UN change anything? As we speak Syrian Golan heights and parts of Idlib are in Israeli hands. The UN is watching and Instead, resolutions over resolutions are all it has to show for it.

The American escapade in Afghanistan in pursuit of Alkaeda only resulted in the death of several thousands of innocent people; the world only sat, not even stood to watch the atrocities.

Russia should hold on tight to Ukraine and Belarus and never allow it’s sovereignty to be threatened by the hypocrites who parade themselves as friends only to turn out to be foes when it’s too late to turn back.
