I can't comment further on the matter, I'm told I have freedom of speech, but I'm not so sure about freedom after speech.

My comment which you are replying is all I can say without risk.

⚡Trump with Orban tonight:

“There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orban. He’s fantastic…He’s a non-controversial figure because he says, ‘This is the way it’s going to be,’ and that’s the end of it. Right? He’s the boss. No, he’s a great leader.”

Will you keep quiet. Like he said earlier most nato countries except the usa has just increase their budget to 2% of gdp. While china has spend more than that and harp now ramp up that figure to 7% (rember china gdp is over 20 trillion) . Even with huge usa defensebudget an average american is living better than chinese. Due to recent economical turmoil in china. There have been an uptick of migration to the usa dont argue this with me its a fact. Most nato members are even doing social benefits for the citizen like sweden finland etc. To shame you china gdp/capital and citizen wealth is still stuck in mid level area alongsides that of let say philipines when it could have been rubbing shoulders with the west. The average china citizen purchasing power is low. Domestic consumption in the usa and other western countries amount to 60-70% of gdp where as china is just 35% which is why they have an export led model. Since average china citizen can consume much due to low wealth something the evil ccp has been trying to fix to no avail in order fix the economy. China building kwa. You mean tofu dreg construction. Keep shut 2% x 31 useless math at that
Procashtips:


You are not intelligent sir and you keep proving it.

2% of their GDP X 31 NATIO nations is how much?

This is excluding their individual defence budget.

You were so quick to mention the amount China is spending on her military but hid that of NATO and allies.

How much is the US annual military budget alone? Now add extra 2% of that contributed to NATO (In reality, America contributes more than 2% of her military budget to NATO.

Next time, remember you're not talking to your fellow brainwashed MSN zombies.

Europe’s defense industry decades behind competitors, according to Dassault chief

EU leaders have floated plans to rebuild the continent’s defense industry in recent weeks, but the head of one major European aircraft manufacturer says decades of investment are required if Brussels hopes to develop technology on par with Russia and others.

“Europe believes all of a sudden that working on defense is a good thing,” said Dassault CEO Éric Trappier in an interview with British media. “I’m delighted that realization is there. Between that realization and the reality of building a European defense industry it’s going to take many years and even many decades.”


At stake is the Western-backed Ukraine proxy war against Russia. EU leaders fear the potential return of former US President Donald Trump to the White House will force Europe to shoulder the responsibility of arming Kiev.

But proposals to rebuild Europe’s defense industry would face political as well as economic hurdles. Many throughout Europe already resent the centralization of power within the European Commission, a sentiment on vivid display when UK voters opted to ditch the bloc in 2016.

⚡In Britain, Zelensky was accused of disclosing a secret base for foreigners in Odessa.

During his visit to Odessa, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky revealed the location of a secret base in the port area of ​​the city, where unmanned boats were being prepared for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This was stated by British analyst Alexander Markouris.

“The Russians were tracking his movements. Thus, they found out the coordinates of the base and then struck,” said Alexander Markouris. His words are quoted by the PolitNavigator publication.

Earlier it was reported that Zelensky arrived in Odessa on March 6 to meet with a delegation from Greece. On the same day, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the destruction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces workshop where unmanned boats were being prepared for operation.

I think we can all agree the major exports of the Russian federation is fuel and energy that makes up 63% or there about, selling at discounted price is bound to have an adverse effect on the economy pretty soon, the question is when . I read somebody said something about diversification, these things takes time and the Russians had all the time to do that but they didn't.

As much as I admire the way they found a way around the sanctions, we can all agree that the Russians won't be able to carry out any military operation after Ukraine for a long time .

Analyst. We have been hearing analysis since 2022. Two years later, it's still analysis and future tenses.

Russia will this. Russia will that. Two years later, the ruble is the world's strongest currency, the Russian economy is growing while Putin is still president.

Meanwhile, most of the western leaders that have sanctioned Russia have been removed with their economies falling into recession.

See, if you are so good at analysis, maybe you can help us forecast the exchange rate so that we can know whether to convert our dollars to naira now or hold them until the exchange rate favors us in the future.

Truth is bitter! That you have to write epistle to defend you puppet masters. Russia economy is growing, in terms of GDP. Even nigeria with a truoble economy is growing. What of china recently? According to doctored GDP figure from the evil CCP. That one too is growing lol when there are numerous ills with the china economy. Russia economy is doomed .but due to opaque situations and massive censorship you dont get the true picture you only get the rosy data. Same with china but no matter how china tries to cover things up. The disasters are leaking out. You can't run economy with propaganda.same with russia in the near future.

Nigeria is like an ingrate unproductive liability woman who moves in with another woman's husband simply because she currently finds him attractive.

She will come to her senses after it's too late after she has received several beatings and abuses. By then her former husband will have nothing to do with her again and she lost both ways.

Una go just open mouth waaa dey yarn rubbish.

What partnership has Nigeria ever had with Ukraine compared to Russia. We have a trade and military agreement with Russia. Russia provides equipments and training to Nigerian military personnel.

Nigeria has been importing wheat from Russia for long. In January, Russia donated free fertilizers to Nigeria. I didn't see any pro-Russia convulsing over it.

But since Ukraine has just donated its unwanted grains to Nigeria, we no go hear word again. Same grains that many EU countries have banned from entering their countries so they can protect their farmers. Or is it not these same grains that causes kasala between Ukraine and Poland. Una masters don donate the unwanted to score bonus points. Left for you minions to come and amplify it like it is the second coming of Jesus Christ.

You said the West is spending money on weapons, and I'm telling you that all the money NATO is spending is 2% of their GDP.

And the China you're romancing has increased it's defense budget as you're making it seem like the West is spending alot on military expenditure at the expense of their development.

Yes, The US spends more than 2%, you mentioned the West and the West is usually Western Europe, it doesn't include the US.

The US is the biggest export of weapons, they also generate sales or revenue. so it's quite understandable and being the World's super power.

My point is 2% won't stop or affect the development of the West. This is even the highest ever.

You should understand the common saying, "Another man title na another man offering". I expect you to atleast understand this one.

You should be more concerned bout China, who's economy is declining and has increased defence budget if you want to be worried at all.

"This is excluding their individual defence budget" show evidence for this your claim.

She does not appreciate her first husband. What she fail to realise is that the new husband is an abuser. His wife was trying to leave but he won't let her. That's what this woman (Nigeria) want to marry as a new husband.

She will come to her senses after it's too late after she has received several beatings and abuses. By then her former husband will have nothing to do with her again and she lost both ways.

This your illustration doesn't add up. International politics is about interest. Even America is still buying some Russian products despite the fact that they are the ones who initiated sanctions against Russian. It is what it is.

I wonder. China is busy ramping up defense spending while the economy is tanking at the expense of ordinary chinese. But it is the western spending that is their headache. The same west that has be enjoying 'peacetime dividend' since. So sacrificing a token for security against marauders now should not be a problem. And besides mr. Intelligent should not forget defense spending in the west especially the usa has a lot of benefits. From shoring up the industrial base among others most of the funds allocated to thd US DOD goes to defense contractors like lockheed martin which in turn provides employments and others. Infact if i sat down and ponder on the impact of the dod on the american economy. I begin to wonder if nigeria can have such system. It might not be defense it may be anything that get money to private companies to the immense benefit of the citizens.
