⚡China's military launched large-scale drills around Taiwan, testing their ability to seize control of the island.

The exercises, called "Joint Sword-2024A," follow the inauguration of Taiwan's new president, Lai Ching-te, which China condemned.

The drills involve naval and air forces and are part of China's intimidation campaign.

China views Taiwan as a renegade province and warned of severe consequences for "independence forces."

What question?

You asking me to list 10 things what Abacha did undecided ain't that a funny question?
While couldn't even prove or point to how military govt is better than civilian govt.


Like it's not same Abacha who executed Ken Saro Wiwa for fighting for his peoples right...while cracking down on any form of protest against his govt...def we know how many students were whisked away and ended up dying in jail without trial.

What's funny about the question? If you claim someone was terrible, you should be able to list what made them terrible.

Yes, democracy as we have it is not a better system of government and the reasons are everywhere for us to see.

Who assassinated Bola Ige? Was this not during the so called Democracy?

http://eprints.abuad.edu.ng/15/

Who assassinated Funsho Williams and Harry Marshall?

Military leaders or Democratic rulers?

https://www.hrw.org/reports/2003/nigeria0403/nigeria0403-03.htm

The governor of Kaduna that died in an Helicopter crash together with a prominent figure that was at that time speaking the truth to the public, they were killed when?

The 2011 subsidy protest that killed a number of defenceless civilians, did this happen under Military rule or the so called democratic rule?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2012/1/10/nigerian-fuel-protests-turn-deadly


Balogunodua:


Was it not the same Abacha gagging freedom of speech when you dare not say shit about the govt...while his hypocritical ass was trying to restore and maintain democracy in sierra leone same demo he was gagging at home.


We know how military men brutally raped a lot of sex workers in Jebba..looting shops and taking whatever they want without paying a dime..this was Abacha's regime...dude shared oil wells with his cronies, run a fraud local govt election and end up selecting winners himself.

Abacha dealt with both journalists and student activists...This was the golden regime according to you undecided

Many more atrocities were committed and attracted the worst an action on us that lead to the downturn of many industries in the country.

Awkuzu massacre that happened few years ago whereby numerous dead bodies were floating in a river in Anambra state was under military rule?

https://dailypost.ng/2022/10/24/peter-obi-opens-up-on-awkuzu-sars-killings/

The Lekki killings that alot of youth lost their lives happened under Military?

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/495562-endsars-nigerian-soldiers-police-massacred-peaceful-protesters-at-lekki-tollgate-panel-of-inquiry.html?tztc=1


The massacre in Kaduna (shiites killings) happened under military?

What exactly happened during the Military including that of Abacha that's not happening now and even worse?

Is it corruption? People now steal and loot with boldness, infact the number of those looting in this democratic dispensation twarts that of the military of any era. Even counselors in Local governments find ways to steal.

Do you know how many journalists have been locked up or even killed under this democratic dispensation?

https://www.thecable.ng/travails-of-slain-nigerian-journalists-families-searching-for-justice/amp/

Do you know how many people have lost their lives to insecurities just few years into the so called democracy?

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/12/101500-nigerians-murdered-since-1999-report/


So tell us, which bloody freedom are you talking about?

What exactly are we enjoying that democracy brought? Chaos? Indiscipline? Madness? Total disregard for law and order? Oppression from the rich to the poor?

What exactly?

From Airports, to seaports, to major bridges and national icons, military govts built the majority, even to roads and schools. (Things still standing today).

What are the benefits an average Nigerian is enjoying in this God forsaking democracy?

Was there anytime during military rule that Nigeria was this bad? Even under IBB which to me is the worst of military rule, life wasn't this bad. Not even inflation or the value of life was this bad.


I have lived in both and you can't explain my realities for me.

Una for this country love to lie to una self for no reason, this is why this country won't grow.

Alot of people with foresights have left and still leaving, I'm joining anytime soon. Most of the people in Nigeria didn't evolve to become a complete human, hence the rubbish going on.

that's quite an expensive hit... Russia will lose a sh-t ton of equipment if they keep dragging feet with Ukraine and the west.

Hit them hard and send a message probably with a tactical nuke, what's they worst the west will do?

USA won't tolerate a quarter of what Russia is tolerating before they will resort to nuke. wipe them off the map already... Maybe example when kharkov has been evacuated and all that's left is soilders defending the city, tell the Russians army to withdraw from the city and boom!

Look at this one
Do you know the consequences and the ramifications it will have used a nuke, even if it's tactical,the massive casualties the radioactive waste, the fallback

You claim Russia is nof fighting a war Ukraine but special operation, yet you want a tactical nuke to be dropped grin


The USA lost devastating war in Vietnam,
Lost more equipment and men than Russia have lost in Ukraine, but never once consider using nukes

Soviet union lost a war with the Afghanistan mujahedeen yet never used nukes

❌ Tightening sanctions against Russia, China and Iran brings no results to the United States - Senator Rand Paul

📝 “Can you name at least one sanctions measure after which Russia would say: “We are very sorry. We shouldn't have done this. We will do everything exactly as you say." Name at least one component of the course of Russia, China or Iran that would change,” he said during a speech at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Government.

❗️ Paul also criticized Washington's intentions to use frozen Russian assets in the interests of Ukraine, emphasizing that Moscow will take retaliatory measures. In addition, the senator suggested to the American authorities a good alternative to sanctions, which is called diplomacy.

🇦🇷✖️🇪🇸 “Incompetent liar”: the President of Argentina insulted the Prime Minister of Spain

❗️ The conflict between the two leaders began with careless statements by Javier Miley regarding the lack of response of Pedro Sanchez to accusations of corruption against his wife.

📝 On Monday, a Spanish politician said that Miley had “failed Spanish-Argentine relations”, and on Tuesday Madrid recalled its ambassador from Buenos Aires.

📝 “Pedro Sanchez is an incompetent person. He's a liar, he's a coward. He set his ministers against me and interfered in Argentine politics during the election campaign,” said the outrageous Argentine leader.

Lol...

Who killed Jume Tahir in China?

Who assassinated Hian in China?

Who killed Turpal-Ali in Russia?

Who brutally assassinated Ruslan Gelayev in Russia?

These are countries you claimed not to practice democracy...so what happened?

Democracy is not responsible for killings going on in this country or any other.


Procashtips:

Maybe you should tell us who killed him or who brought the helicopter down sitting in his or her room....I guess the Iranian president that died in an helicopter crash must have being saying something the Ayattolah don't like.


Procashtips:


The 2011 subsidy protest that killed a number of defenceless civilians, did this happen under Military rule or the so called democratic rule?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2012/1/10/nigerian-fuel-protests-turn-deadly

Should pull news of people dying during violent protest around the world? And please how many people died during occupied Nigeria protest compare to hundreds of students that we're hanged in broad day light under Gaddafi...your role model?

https://dailypost.ng/2022/10/24/peter-obi-opens-up-on-awkuzu-sars-killings/

Isolated killings have been happening all around the world in so called non democratic setting and democratic setting, but still the culprit were arrested. Under military we have had worst happened in cross river and till date nothing was said of it.

The massacre in Kaduna (shiites killings) happened under military?
We have been asking for proof of the so called massacre in Lekki toll gate with no concrete evidence...

As for the shittes killing...it was unfortunate and sad...but still during military rule you dare not protest talk more of barracading a military convoy. El Zakyzaky and his entire followers would have being wiped out.

Procashtips:

Is it corruption? People now steal and loot with boldness, infact the number of those looting in this democratic dispensation twarts that of the military of any era. Even counselors in Local governments find ways to steal.

Alot that happened during military rule will never happen now....almost all the politicians you see today got their money during military rule...military regime witness the worst looting that has ever happened in the history of this country.

And yes...Y'all won't even get to vote or criticize the government like you do now. I will like to see how any organization go on protest without been tagged rebel and open treason.
