RUSSIA UKRAINE CONFLICT SIMPLY EXPLAINED.

You may have been wondering why this world super power Russia have been headline this days, what do they want, and who are they having issues with,

lets get it simplified before you get bored.

Why  Russia vs Ukraine ?

Ukraine, which was part of the Russian empire for centuries before becoming a Soviet republic, won independence as the USSR broke up in 1991. It tries to shatter  its Russian imperial ties and forge increasingly close ties with the West.

A decision by Kremlin-leaning Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to reject an association agreement with the European Union in favour of closer ties with Moscow led to mass protests that saw him removed as leader in 2014.

Russia responded by annexing Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and throwing its weight behind a separatist rebellion that broke out in Ukraine’s east.

Ukraine and the West accused Russia of sending its troops and weapons to back the rebels. Moscow denied that, saying the Russians who joined the separatists were volunteers.

According to Kyiv, more than 14,000 people have died in the fighting that devastated Donbas, Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland.

For its part, Moscow has strongly criticised the US and its NATO allies for providing Ukraine with weapons and holding joint drills, saying that such moves encourage Ukrainian hawks to try to regain the rebel-held areas by force.

Furthermore, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO are a red line, and expressed concern about plans by some NATO members to set up military training centres in Ukraine. This, he has said, would give them a military foothold in the region even without Ukraine joining NATO.

7 reasons you should not marry a Soldier Man,You will agree with number 7.

 

In our previous post, we discussed  10 reasons you should not marry a male soldier/officer, Now we are looking at reasons you should  marry marry a soldier man.

1.      Risky: The job of a military man come with many risk especially those in combat unit, position, some will lose their body parts, some will not lose anything while some will pay the ultimate sacrifice. And when they die , the family is worst hit, after final respect , that’s all, get compensated if any at all, then you are on your own to navigate the stormy walk of life.

It’s all over the previous and current headline, two lover birds bond fatally crashed months to their marriage, as the husband a soldier man die in line of duty, a soldier die just months of enlisting, a soldier dies after his wife just delivered a baby, and so many pitiable stories like that have occurred too much, you must have heard of them, in today’s hostile environment, military personnel today have become target of non-state actors who sworn to avenge the misdeed of the previous or current administration against, and it’s the soldier life that pay for it.

 

Most times you don’t know when tragedy struck and it happen so quick and fast you aren’t expecting it what if he dies.

2.    Distance relationship :   

    Ladies have this funny idea of them looking for a man who give them attention all the time, unfortunately a military man is not in that option, most times he will be deployed to frontier or duty, might be abroad on a peacekeeping mission or course, or another base that might not accommodate a partner. He won’t always have the luxury of speaking to you even if there is technological means, You will have to be alone, nurse your feelings alone, take care of the children alone, its more frightening when he is deployed to hostile fronts, the prayers,fasting you will go through, probably you ask a wife of a retired Seasoned Infantry officer what she went through with her husband . If you can’t cope with long distance relationship, don’t bother marry one!

3.    Location and deployment:

 You are most likely to live in a barracks, and the lifestyle there is quite different from your civilian neighborhood, there are rules which must be kept, it’s even hierarchical in nature, officers accommodation is different from soldiers of other ranks, you don’t just accommodate any kind of person, in your home.

     Many transfer will cause you to change friends, loose friends, change your kids schools several times, and if you have a business or job you will have to adapt to fit in to your husband deployment,

4.    If you can’t be faithful: 

    Don’t marry him , if you know you can’t keep to your words, remember he will be away most times, how do you see to the need of sexual pleasure without defiling your marriage. There is even a myth that Military men do cheat! Due to the fact that the time and distance away from each other, they too find a means to satisfy sexual urge, which cheating may be part of it. 

               African countries with Previous military regime in governmen,some rs have this possessive idea of women, during those regime, military men frolick with women around the base, marry different women all locations they are posted to without the women knowing their marital status,lied and gave birth to babies all around,until the issue of HIV/Aids came up, However to day ,due to good education and exposure , such practice have declined.
