⚡BBC reporter to US Secretary of State Blinken:

There's catastrophic loss of life in Gaza. In China, where you are visiting now, the US is described as hypocritical.

You ask China to stop sending Russia not even weapons, but components that can be used to make weapons, but you continue to send weapons to Israel.

This erodes the credibility of the US. Not only here in China but all over the world. What do you say?
I really want to know his response... Can you post the video link pls?

“Everything going South or East are tankers carrying Russian Urals crude to Asia!”

All tankers carrying other oil are now navigating around Africa continent

US have lost the capacity to re-open the Hormuz as the Red Sea is now basically controlled by tribal militants.

The US has acquired 81 obsolete Soviet-era combat aircraft from Kazakhstan, a report from the Kyiv Post says.

Kazakhstan, which is upgrading its air fleet, auctioned off 117 Soviet-era fighter and bomber aircraft, including MiG-31 interceptors, MiG-27 fighter bombers, MiG-29 fighters, and Su-24 bombers from the 1970s and 1980s.

The Kyiv Post reported that the declared sale value was one billion Kazakhstani tenge, or $2.26 million, equalling an average value for each plane of $19,300.

800 billion this, 900 billion that.

That amount is not even enough to maintain over 800 bases worldwide

60% of that money will be used to line up the pockets of corrupt officials and defense contractors.

So where will money for weapons research even come from?



You can describe the US MIC as a racketeering organization for the deep state. They have the US government and the general populace caged in a repeated circle of unprecedented corruption via bloated military budgets in the name of war.

The Military Industrial Complex is the economic paradise of defense contractors. And guess what.

The bulk of the US military budget goes to defense contractors. Troops and veterans don't even come second in the sharing schemes.

These contractors have their agents within and around all areas of the government machinery. Most of those senators and reps you see all the time on a war footing are not not called war Hawks for nothing. They represent different interests (defense contractors) within the MIC, and of course, they all get their percentage.

. The MIC has a great influence on American foreign policy, because it serves as the link through which they can create so-called 'enemies' for America, then wars for America to go after those enemies. That way, they reap in the big bucks continuously. And the cycle continues.

This was exactly what formal US president Dwight Eisenhower warned the American people against in his farewell speech in 1961. Today, the MIC has become so influential as such that the president must be someone that goes along with their interests. Otherwise, all hell would break lose. That was why they don't like Trump. That was why they killed John F. Kennedy who before his death said that some persons were trying to control his government.

The corruption in that sector is beyond anything you can imagine.

you know I've been thinking... Why can't the Nigerian government hire PMC to tackle the insecurities and fight the terrorist in the north? At least we know the Wagner have better experience than us, so why can't we hire them?
The cooperation of the Sahel states with Wagner might start to drive those terrorist from the countries into Nigeria. Is there any reason why we can't hire PMCs?


You're right on this " once the terrorist are being decimated in those countries, they will run back into Nigeria"

We can't hire them because the USA won't allow our government do it.

President Biden is reportedly working on a 10 year deal to send Ukraine $1 trillion in military aid and $500 billion in reconstruction loan guarantees and would prevent the next two presidents from cutting off aid.

Imagine a nation that doesn’t have money for free healthcare, free rent/housing, and student loans but giving out billions to a foreign countries yet the Russia they are fighting have all those things.
Still surprised that out of all those advanced countries, only USA don’t have any of those things yet their citizens are not protesting about it but always complain like Nigerians

Samsung is almost 20% of South Korea’s GDP. Their assets account for almost 40% of the nation’s GDP.

Samsung became a global powerhouse by providing value to South Korea. They’re not just selling gadgets to the country, they are growing the economy.

As Samsung grows, so does South Korea economy grow with it.

Nigerians so called billionaires, what are their contribution to the economy? How has their billions impacted society? Name one village that benefitted from any of the businesses billionaires.

How can you be a billionaire, and there is no value being created from your ecosystem?
Just pumping and dumping stocks on the NGX.

This is why Nigeria is the way it is. Business in Nigeria is not about creating value, it’s about extracting and exploiting the common man.
It’s always one man’s business and when the owner is dead, so goes all the so called billions or millions Naira investments.

Religion was created by people.
Religion is perpetuated by people.
Religion's holy books are written by people.
The people who are the conqueror, colonizer and enslaver enforced their religion on the conquered, colonized and enslaved people.
Religion is defended and fought over by people.
Religion is indoctrinated into future adult people (children) by current adult people.
Religion is easily usable by religious leaders to scam people of their money/resources and easily usable to move people lay down their precious lives to kill and get killed in wars

It's laughable to attempt to separate religion from people.

⚡International Criminal Court (ICC) is being warned by members of U.S. Congress in both parties that arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials will be met with U.S. retaliation — and legislation to that effect is already in the works, Axios reports.

Netenyahu has gone so far as to urge Biden to intervene to help prevent the warrants.

House Speaker Johnson issued a statement calling the reported warrants "disgraceful" and "lawless."

"If unchallenged by the Biden administration, the ICC could create and assume unprecedented power to issue arrest warrants against American political leaders, American diplomats, and American military personnel," Johnson said.

😁 The EU demanded that the assets of Ariston and Bosch be returned to them. EU says Russian authorities' actions do not comply with international law

This after European countries blocked assets of Russians, Russian companies and the Bank of Russia worth at least €85.7 billion in August 2022. This includes €6.9 billion in Switzerland and 15 properties. In France - assets worth €24 billion. In Germany - for 4.28 billion euros. Most of all in Belgium - for 50.5 billion euros.

A kind of world record for audacity has been set in the EU.

Let us remind you that on April 26 this year Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the transfer of 100% of the shares of Russian subsidiaries Ariston Thermo Group and BSH Hausgerate (owned by Germany's Bosch) to the temporary management of Gazprom Domestic Systems.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇸American high-precision GLSDB bombs, specially developed for Ukraine, became victims of Russian electronic warfare, - Defense One

▪️According to a Pentagon representative, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are no longer interested in these weapons, although they actively used bombs until February 2024.
▪️And this is not the first Western GPS-guided weapon to suffer from Russian electronic warfare systems. Thus, in March it became known that the effectiveness of the Excalibur precision projectile dropped from 70 to 6% after the Russians placed vehicles with electronic warfare systems every 10 km along the front line.
▪️The Pentagon believes that Ukraine can use other American ammunition that is not affected by GPS substitution, in particular Harpoon missiles.
▪️Another solution could be to launch JDAM glide bombs from the F-16, which can transmit navigation data to the munitions.
@ purple colored text,they are save guarding their missile 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hope the toothless ICC will still be able to issue an arrest warranty for an African leader.
