So he still have the guts to threaten UK their mother country.
He should remember that power doesn't last forever.
Britain was once like U S far back 18th to 20th century.

Britain was like the US until from the period around World War II, when most of Britain and Western Europe began throwing away their old values centred around belief in God, and they started embracing atheism. From that period onwards, the power disparity between The US and Britain began to increase. Today, the GDP of the US is more than the Combined GDP of all countries in Europe combined.

Unfortunately, we still have some idiots in Nigeria who now tell us that when societies embrace atheism and get rid of religion like has been largely done in Britain and Western Europe, that such a country would experience fast development. They forget that The US which is the most prosperous and powerful country in the history of mankind is a country where over 70% of the population still believes in God!

Lure UK to leave EU by promising juicy deals if they leave and then turn around and force them to take bad deals because they are no longer in a strong group. Purely divide and rules style.

Britain has been played

Common sense they did not have

They swallowed right wing fear mongering

Now they are in soup

I don't know what you are on about. 76% of Europeans believe in Christianity compared to 65% of Americans. If it is by religion, Nigeria should ideally be the most developed country in the world.

If we are to use "believe in God", the percentage would even be higher due to the large Muslim population in Europe.

Interestingly, I have made so much progress during this Trump era.

My immigration consultancy service is thriving due to the inconsistency and panick driven immigration policy from Trump's team, I wish he is there forever grin but I just don't like him, someone close to me was denied Visa sad
Visa has never been a walk over. Obama's record was also bad on that, but codedly.
Trump is doing a lot for his people, and that's what matters.
Is your govt doing same?

You must be talking about another Europe. Certainly not the Europe on planet earth. And very specifically, I said Western Europe, which seems to have the most developed countries of Europe.

Let me ask you; have you ever heard any European president or prime Minister give a speech and end it with "God bless you" or "God bless Britain" or "God bless _____ country"?

But when American Presidents give a national speech, they would usually end with "God bless America".

Donald Trump himself constantly says it in many of his speeches that "In America, we don't worship government, we worship God". Which other European country have you heard their president say such kind of thing?

And to be clear, when I say "believe in God", I am not talking about any kind of god. I mean the Judeo-Christian God. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So you don't need to bring in the middle eastern countries. And even if you decide to bring in middle eastern countries, look at Israel, the only free democracy in the middle east, and the most technologically advanced nation in the middle east. They are so advanced that America buys some weapons systems from Israel. And they are the only country that has a majority of their population believing in the Judeo-Christian God.

Africa is most religious and is backwards

For a start, The US is far more prosperous and powerful than China in every sense.....except maybe in terms of 5G technology.

The only area where China is more than the US is in population. And even with almost 5times the population of the US, China's GDP is still not up to 70% of the US GDP.

Secondly, you talk about China being a model of development, let me ask you; what sort of development is that when the citizens are not free? In China, you are policed by the state, you can't criticize the government without going to jail. You can't freely practice any religion of your choice as you wish. You can't decide to have 5 children if you so wish without being frowned upon by the government. You can't work and keep most of your profits to yourself because of excessive taxation by the communist government which believe every citizen is working for the state.

What sort of "development" is that?? I would rather have the type of development the US offers where I can thrive and enjoy personal liberty than the sham offered by China.

Africa is religious and backwards, but you also forget that North Korea is Atheist and very backwards. The average Nigerian under Buhari's failed government lives a far better life than the average North Korean who is not a top member of the ruling communist worker's party. Go and check this fact and stop using religion as a yardstick in your fake analysis.

America is more religious than Nigeria, but they are prosperous because they follow the principles of prosperity outlined in the Judeo-Christian values whereas in Africa, most religious people do not understand principles! The Judeo-Christian principles for prosperity will work for any society that applies them, whether that society is very religious or not, it doesn't matter! God is not a respecter of persons, so his principles will work for anyone who applies them. This is why rain falls on both good and wicked people.

America is great because they understand these principles as a nation and apply them. And just to mention one of these Judeo-Christian principles that America applies - Foreign Aid! America is the largest foreign aid donor by far! One of the principles of prosperity apart from hardwork is GIVING! God said if you give, it will be given back to you in good measure pressed down shaken together and running over. The same bible says that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The same bible says the hand that gives is greater than he that receives. America spends tens of billions of dollars in foreign aid every year, but have you ever heard Nigeria or any African country giving yearly aid, even to any other African country that they are better than?

Oga
Whether a country is religious or not has no bearing with religion



America is the only G8 country with more than 60% of the people being religious


On the other hand
There are dozens of religious countries that are shithole failed zoos.


There are also countries that don't believe much in God and are very prosperous

And there are atheist countries that are struggling (you see that In eastern Europe )

So once again

They will know who Trump is today.

As much as I hate to admit it, China is ruling the world on 5G technology. They have the highest number of 5G patents in the world and their technology is cheap. Furthermore, China is already working on 6G.

It will take the U.S. 5years to get to where China is on deployment alone.

For those who don't understand the post. Trump is threatening trade war with the UK if they agree to use China's 5G technology.
what are you saying ? 5g technology wasnt invented by china. They only tried to make it cheaper and available to less privileged. That said.... trumps new threat to u.k is because the u.k pulled out from supporting his vendetta with iran. I'm assuming you know the politics of what's happening in the middle east and why the u.s tried to start a war there. The ABOLITION OF DOLLAR in the sale of oil and replacing it with gold etc.... it's very deep.

And how does getting facts from any source change the truth? Your problem is that you have been brainwashed by the likes of CNN and BBC. You obviously don't know that since 2017, CNN's ratings and viewership in American homes have drastically plummeted after people began realising that Trump wasn't lying for calling them fake news. As a matter of fact, Fox News now rates as the number one cable news television channel in America, CNN is not even 2nd. Go and Google it for yourself. By the way, see your CNN below. Also find out why they were sued for $275million by that teenager and why they eventually settled by paying out $20million to that boy......but you keep getting your fake news narrative from them
