First you called it an aid. Then you stated that an aid is not a donation. You prove me right when I say Putin supporters cannot reason.

Exnavyboy62:


It's the American govt that refer to it as military aid but anyone sensible will know the US doesn't give things for free and I expected you to know that. It has never happened and it's not happening anytime soon especially in this critical period.

Everyone knows the US is fighting a proxy war with Russia and don't want to lose. If military aid is what it takes away then that's fine. Ukraine are "paying" for it by using it on the Russians. Simple as ABC.

There was speculation that he was Somali!

In Minneapolis, Somalis account for 6 percent of the cityʼs public school population, but make up 17 percent of early childhood special education students who have been labeled as having autism, according to data aggregated by the Minneapolis Public Schools.

In a geographical area of Stockholm, with a relatively large Somali immigrant population, parents as well as teachers in special schools and staff at habilitation centres have raised concerns over whether children with a Somali background are over-represented in the total group of children with autism..... The prevalence of autistic disorder or PDDNOS was found to be three to four times higher than in the non-Somali group (0.7% vs 0.19%). All children also had learning disability

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 44 children in the United States today.

The status of the Isaq in Kenya, 1919-36

Virtually without exception all those who wrote of their contacts with the Isaq either in Kenya or in Tanganyika noted their proud, reserved bearing and haughty demeanour towards other East African peoples. The Isaq were indeed strongly convinced that their status was superior to that of other East Africans and they bitterly resented being placed in the same category as the Bantu, whom they perjoratively referred to as 'slaves'. Moreover, such an attitude was encouraged by those government officials who claimed that the Somali were not of African origin and who advised that the Isaq should not be classified as ordinary African natives. For their part, the Isaq refused to be called Africans, or even Somali, if this gave the idea that they came from a part of Africa. Instead, they emphasized that they had either resided or been born at Aden, and that their written language was either English or Arabic. The significance of this claim lay in the fact that from 1839 to 1937 Aden was annexed to British India and its inhabitants were therefore considered to be Asians. But the claim suffered from the fact that verification was impossible due to the absence of documentary evidence, and so, despite Isaq pretensions, they were initially classified as natives.

Pressure from the Isaq in Kenya to be allowed to pay higher poll-tax was almost certainly motivated by their desire to acquire Asiatic status. According to a Provincial Commissioner of the Northern Frontier District (NFD), the Isaq believed

'that Asiatic status would confer, amongst other things, immunity from arrest by African police constables, special accommodation in hospitals and prisons, more favourable treatment in the law courts, and eventually the sharing with the Indians of lands in the "White highland".'
Whether the Isaq ever wanted land is a moot point, but according to Ahamed Nur and M. H. Mattan, two prominent members of the Isaq Association, their aims were to obtain: (1) access to Asian wards in hospitals, which was granted them between 1919 and 1928; (2) Asiatic privileges in jail; (3) an Isaq member on the Legislative Council; (4) the same trading privileges as Indians both in the townships and in the reserves the Somali, for instance, were not allowed to own more than one shop, and trading licences, so they claimed, were sometimes refused them

At first, I absolutely couldn’t believe an African would label a fellow African this way on local television. I had to ask several people who watched the broadcast to confirm that is what Suna East MP Junet Mohamed actually called Coast Regional Commissioner Nelson Marwa.
I can’t quite recall the exact circumstances, other than that it had something to do with Marwa’s ongoing crackdown on drug trafficking at the Coast.
Now, Junet is not Caucasian (White) by any stretch of the imagination. He is as Black and African as we come, with just a stretch of softer hair than the rest of us.
But I can guess where he is coming from. Being Cushitic is fine, but low-rent types like him tend to resort to this “monkey” business whenever they want to insult other Black Africans. Many ethnic Somali people I know will not go there. Not on TV, anyway. But those like Junet can’t resist going down the sewer.
This Junet-style mindset holds this picture of “lofty” Cushites pitted against Bantus like Marwa who rule them in Kenya and about whom they hark to ancient tales of how the latter migrated from Congo, where presumably they were swinging in the forests like apes.

There is a simple conversational recipe that never fails to madly inflame those with a bogus Cushitic “superiority complex” like Junet. First, gently remind them that they are kinsmen to clans from the only failed state in Africa.
Go on to say that that nation, which has over the years sought to reclaim “lost” provinces in Ethiopia and Kenya, has suffered successive and humiliating military defeats as a result.
Crown it all by reminding them that, as we speak, armies from five different African states, including Kenya and Ethiopia, are stationed inside the Somali state.

What is your fuse with Kenya? after all this years

Its as obvious as the afternoon sun on a cloudless day! Nobody else in the world is as simultaneously obsessive,hateful,ignorant and narcissistic as these guys. trust me,I know! Living in an underdeveloped country like Kenya what we take as their typical behaviour patterns are actually undiagnosed developmental disorders.

Its very likely the generations of inbreeding-they've been marrying their first cousins since before they were Muslim. At the same time Somali culture is greatly invested in believing they're the
-bravest
-cleverest
-prettiest
-strongest
in the whole world! Because ofc Allah love them more than everyone else,well,just because.... As such they're habituated to make enemies with not just nearby Habeshas and Kenyans but everyone else within shouting distance of their chicken muscles. They've gotten their narrow dusty arses broken multiple times in battle-imo,only the Pakistanis have been less successful in battle but many are drawn to this fruitless aggression for reasons explained above.
Its extremely important for many Somalis to not only feel superior to be SEEN as superior to Kenyans they insist are beneath them. In the colonial era they even offered to pay higher non native poll tax to be classified as Asiatic!?



YES,THESE DEMENTED MOFOS HAPPILY PAID A HIGHER TAX TO THE OYINBO TO BE CLASSIFIED ON A HIGHER RACIAL SCALE-WTF DOES THAT!?

IIRC,I've never met a Somali bantu but I can imagine their biblical suffering. To see real apartheid one need only look at how the Somali bantu population was treated. By the 1990s their numbers reached 1 mn. They were despised on multiple levels-for being Christian,bantu,farmers not pastoralists and ex slaves from Malawi,Mozambique and Tanzania who had been purchased in the 1800s from Zanzibar to work plantations mainly in S Somalia along the Shabelle river.
They're known as the jareerwayne,meaning nappy haired people. A million people reduced to a minor racial characteristic says much much more of racist attitudes than a hundred sociological field reports. During the worst of the famines in the early 90s,Western aid workers were shocked speechless when many starving Somalis would reject assistance from black UN and NGO workers! Even at the point of death they remain true to hardline racism.

Recently everyone was shocked when opposition Somali MP Junat Muhamad publicly called Mombasa security chief a monkey! On live TV!!

At 5.50! He then repeatedly refused to apologise. There was an interesting writeup on that f'ery.

One of the few perspicacious commentators in our media,Gitau Warigi touched on the episode with insights into Somali sociocultural attitudes.

Pelosi just visited Armenia to condemn Azerbaijan's uprovoked attack.

Now before you anti-westerners quickly jump in to start falling in love with Azerbaijan without thinking. Note that Russia supports and even has a security agreement with Armenia. And that's not all, Iran supports Armenia too. Yes Iran

Now do you know that Azerbaijan is backed militarily by Israel? Yes Israel

This is just a simple example of regular international politics. That is why you Africans should never think of international politics as a tribal tug of war between "east" and "west". Things are way more complex than such a simple generalization.

Dearsan of Turkey has laid the keel of the 1st of 2 OPVs ordered by the Nigerian Navy.

The Minister of Defence, Chief of Naval Staff and other senior naval officers attended from the Nigerian government.

https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2022/09/turkish-dearsan-lays-keel-of-first-of-two-opvs-for-nigeria/

The main gun of the ship will be the 40-millimeter MARLIN gun of Leonardo and will be armed with the Aselsan’s 30-millimeter SMASH at the stern of the ship. The ship will also be equipped with two Aselsan 12.7 mm RWS STAMP.

She's too old for that. She's 82.

After Biden's second term. The Democrats will sure like to field a woman. It will give a them a fresh look by then. However, top Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama and lately Kamala Harris are there as well though Kamala's not that popular. They're even considered more Liberal and traditional than Pelosi who started her politics more on the progressive cacus than liberal.

The DNC will likely not nominate a progressive in 2028. If Michelle Obama still refuses to run as she's always said, my bet is on Hillary Clinton.

Michelle is the surest candidate for Democrats after Biden's tenure but she likely won't run. Even Obama doesn't like the idea of returning to the white house as a "First gentleman".

If 5 percent of atrocities Russia has done in Ukraine was done by the US or Israeli Army, the whole world will be boiling, condemning and condemning. Everybody will be writing anti-USA articles here and there.

First they shot civilians driving on highways in Kiev
Next they killed civilians on camera in a shop.
Russian officers castrated and shot a Ukrainian soldier on camera.
More than 400 bodies of non-combatants found in Izum.

Before you argue, remember that these are not casualties from line/radius of fire or indirect casualties. These are straight up inhumane activities that the Russian government did not condemn or try to investigate.

Faithful007:
DNC and Democrat Party in general are not thinking of fielding Pelosi. There is already dissent about Biden's age long before now.

What about the atrocities of Ukraine, the russian officer castration was fake and proved; most of all the things coming out are pure propaganda from both sides, you didn't mention the banned petal mines that mostly sent to dnr civilian regions daily, shelling of malls by ukraine , alright us is a saint...what about their atrocities in vietnam that the media tried so hard to cover up?.... All sides are the same thing, no one is saint.
