I do know more than you, that's a fact. I don't know it all, that's another fact. is that clear enough for you?

you make statements that on the surface look to make sense but actually don't in any form.

What's Taiwan stand on the international scene that by virtue of backing them will increase US influence in Asia. Do you know how stubborn those Asians are when it comes to self pride and dignity.
China can overrun Taiwan today and it won't do US any harm in Asia if they choose to fold their hand.
How many countries do you think officially recognise Taiwan as a sovereign state.

dude you funny, talk about Taiwan is a tool of US influence in Asia. smh
Wow...to see u type so much, yet a singular and simple fact still eludes u baffles me..undecided
At anyrate, have a blast with ur deep knowledge, I have grown weary of this unproductive banter.
Cheers!

it will do you a whole lot of good if you take at least a minute to ask yourself "does what I just type make common sense"?

wait o! what do you think it takes to own a military base in a foreign country?
How many countries have the economic muscle to pull it off?
Of the limited number that do have, what are their interest in America that they will need a base for??

common sense dude, common sense

Awe!..u are going too far. Let's keep it within what's trending.
But ofcourse, feel free to enlighten me since you know it all.
Let me put it in a simpler way for u to understand...US "protection" of Taiwan also favors them. It would be naive of you to say the US is doing it pro bono undecided..
If the US isn't bothered about China's growth/influence in Asia, why all fuss?..why empower its neighbors?..why all the naval military drills with Australia and Japan. U think US would expend that much time and resources just because they "love" the pple of Taiwan?..or u think US alliance with S.Korea is just because the love Korea movies?..expand ur perspective bro..
Saudi Arabia has been pelting Yemen with bombs for years..what has Uncle Sam done?..What has uncle Sam done abt the military junta in Myanmar?.
Anyway..if u still don't understand the case in point, don't bother to quote/reply me.
Peace..

show me the credible Intel that it's the US that instigated a coup?
All these hearsay.

Before you write trash at least sit down in a quiet environment and ask your self simple questions.
What benefits does Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Turkey serves to the US that will make them do something that if uncovered will shattered and shake the very foundation of their generational alliance built for so long?

Not every thing is about Russia.
what exactly is Russia contribution in the world? Did they fight the war on terrorism or how many countries have they been providing aids?

Simple question and answers will clear your mind.
In the mean time take a look at NATO position (Red line) against Russia federation but you guys will happily sing NATO is surrounding Russia (Pic 1).

in pic 2, look at Russia position relative to Ukraine but in this case, you guys will say Russia is defending its National Security not Russia is surrounding Ukraine abi
So Britain-controlled USA is a friend of the Countries they are actually unnecessary policing and bullying??

Your mind-control tactics arguments is not sharp enough.

Go back to your employers to sharpen that for you properly and come back to try again....

Re: In Pictures: Ukraine On Edge Amid Fears Of A Russian Invasion by Emmyxclusive: 8:14pm On Jan 25, 2022
This is my own take on this issues. NATO is escalating this issue by send military hard to all its member state around Russia. Currently, Spain, Denmark, Netherland etc have sent military hardwares. France said they are ready to send troops, USA has put 8500 troops on alert, all these uptop invasion wey never happen. I think its the west that's provoking Russia. Uk has been send hardware to Ukraine as well. Even Germany that was reluctant at first is now treating Russia of disaster if an invasion happens. I think putin should just be careful cus these guys are just waiting for him to make a move so they can rush him from all angles. And how do u detect to a sovereign nation what association to join or not?

You’re talking out of point..
The guy you quoted is right. US currently has missile bases in countries that share borders with Russia but will never allow Russia to build a missile base anywhere near the US motherland.
Isn't that double standards?

Oga not all NATO members has a USA military base. Wetin I dey reason still na say EUCOM is different from NATO.
There isn't any USA military base in Norway, Turkey, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and they are all NATO members. Although they all have NATO bases but no USA military presence, still you want to prove to me that USA military presence in Germany, UK, Italy and co are NATO bases.

EUCOM IS DIFFERENT FROM NATO SIR

egbon at least be accurate when you're making a statement. If Ukraine wants to join NATO because of Russia provocation and meddling, isn't that a dream scenario for an organisation whose aim is to stop USSR reformation?
which one is US should not have plan as if it's the US that's telling Russia to harass her neighbours and be forming domino
Do u know how America harass her neighbors? Wot if Russia had intervened btw America and Venezuela! Its even rumored that CIA killed Hugo Chavez with polonium poisoning. That’s how bad it was. Venezuela calls America the great devil. Ukraine should pay up all the gas money they owning Russia and stop aiding and abetting America’s gas sale in Europe over Russia

Any little thing, everybody will blame US.
Without US, we would have been in our 5th world war now. Give some respect to that country though.
Most of their policies are bad but they are trying their best to avoid war or chaos. Not that in war now that you can hurt America, but they don't want to fail by letting the world go into another war.
All these anti-America boys here pushing for destruction of US.
Pray not to be alive to experience Xi or Putin as world leader. You would wish you were still dreaming.

The cold war ended and as far as I am concerned NATO should have been disbanded. But no, they started expanding closer to Russian borders and placing weapons near russian soil. During the cold war, Russia attempted to put missiles and weapons in Cuba and the US was frothing from their mouth; so why would you expect Russia to do otherwise? Russia is not comfortable with NATO expanding into its sphere of influence. You cannot flog a child and ask the child not to cry. The West and US are just trying to bully Russia and get away with it. Good luck to all of them!

Allow Ukraine speak for themselves and decide if they want US presence on their soil. don't speak for em

I don't know how simple it is to explain this to you o.

But do a little reading also and you see that

1. EUCOM is the command that oversees USA military in Europe and it works with NATO but different from NATO
2. Not all NATO states has the presence of EUCOM soldiers. Their could be soldiers from fellow European NATO members but no USA military is there with their base.

A good example is Turkey, Turkey will never allow an American military base in her country and its a NATO member too. Abeg enlighten me about that
