Google “London tube activist ads”.

People post them to mimic real ads. Of course they get taken down but they often go viral in the interim. I’ve looked this one up and it seems real.

This makes sense, before the authority removes it the social media will have it, I guess that is the whole point of it.

Hi guys, not sure if I need to look for a German visa thread but here goes

I have a Lufthansa flight Glasgow to Nigeria but I have now being told I'll probably need a transit visa. Unfortunately no appointment for biometrics in Edinburgh for a German visa. Has anyone used Lufthansa recently this year? Did you need a transit visa?

Also if I want to do it in Nigeria, how many days to get a transit visa in Lagos? Thank you

Like the saying goes "beggars have no choice" Zelensky is already begging after US stopped military aid... Peace must be achieved

gbamsolutely.

E be like say most on here wanted the war to continue..Or let me rephrase, una want the war to end 'the right way🤣'. Trump say he no dey interested in funding any nonsense war again shikena. No money, no weapons, no intelligence coming from the USA anymore. The result? The war will be over prolly before end of the week, as should.

The END.

justwise:


It wasn't and that is the prob, all the outburst that played out was because they did not get their way behind closed down.

I disagree with you regarding his attitude , he did nothing wrong, Trump and his VP were pissed because they failed to force him to give away that mineral without getting anything in return.

I always wondered- when people say security guarantee- do they mean America committing to go to war with Russia should they invade Ukraine again?

Goke7:


We can continue to excuse the vp and his boss behaviour but they are still going to get to the table again with Ukraine no matter how they despised Z, they are the ones actually wasting their time with all the boasting that they will end the war in 24 hours.

Hehehe.. Na Z carry him leg enter 'unfriendly' territory. He should have borrowed a leaf from the British.

That said, the mineral deal they are talking about here appears to be payback for moneys/weapons Biden freely gave Ukraine. It does not appear to focused towards securing future funding. Perhaps once done, the Americans may ask for a larger pie or Ukrainian resources for future weapons or funding.

Muy heart goes out to Z and Ukrainians though- e no easy

On the subject of Vance shading the UK? According to our resident mealy-mouthed defender of western civilization, he actually did not;

“Kemi Badenoch defends JD Vance over ‘random country’ comments

Hehe... she's only following tradition... all major UK parties are in a competition for who would kiss Trumps (or Americas) ass the best. When he throws an insult our way, na we dey come explain why e no be insult. At this rate, Vance may call the King an slowpoke and KS would say it's just friendly banter.

Even the carefully chosen new UK ambassador to the U.S has chorused that the only deal on the table is the mineral one and advised Z to unilaterally declare a cease fire

It’s all propaganda bruv, there were no freebies to Ukraine as 70% of those money or weapons were in form of contracts and jobs to US firms. The Orange man is only trying to take advantage of the spoils of war.

Zahra29:
J D Vance had to row back quickly after running his mouth yet again and trying to diss the UK as some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years.

I guess he forgot when the US begged asked the UK to back them in the war against Iraq and Afghanistan after they came under attack on 9/11, and we and many other EU countries joined their fight and lost thousands of soldiers in the process. It also marked the beginning of the end of Blair's premiership.

And Vance was going on about disrespect last week. Silly.

Begged or dragged?
Article 5 of the NATO treaty (I.e an attack on one is an attack on all) was invoked and others had to answer the 'clarion call'. These nations had been gulping American-funded NATO freebies all along- that was their time to repay the warm gesture. Many were 'keen' to show their support for the Americans.

Oddly, thats the only time it's been called into use. I wonder if America would send her soldiers to fight and die for the French e.t.c in thesame fashion.

Sure- we know as e dey be. Most was sent to U.S firms to make and supply weapons at an exorbitant price. Other times, it was old weapons being cleared out to Ukraine to make room for new ones. Good cash was also given though. Though the American economy benefited loads, Z wouldn't have survived this long without that support. Perhaps if he knew it would come to this, he may have been more strategic in his requests.

It's quite harrowing when you hear Trump speak about Biden in public- na only to insult his predecessor.

So why do they always make it look as if they wasted money on Ukraine? Are they not only making good their promise to protect Ukraine after giving up their nuclear arsenal years ago? In whose interest at the end is the support for Ukraine? That’s how they also continue to deceive the world about foreign aids as freebies when in actual fact is for the protection of their economic interests in those countries they give aid to. This hypocrisy is what I detest jor

Begged, as in strongly appealed. As I maintained in an earlier comment, previous PMs and US presidents had a different relationship and interacted as equals with mutual respect. Such was the case (mostly) with Bush Jnr and Blair. In fairness, Bush Jr was a very different statesman to Trump, and Blair was also a dynamic PM and very strongly allied to the US.

Fun fact - Did you know that it was the UK who proposed the invocation of Article 5 to the US?

Also, under Article 5 military action is not automatic. Instead it compels member states to assist by taking "such action as [the member state] deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area

Blair needed Parliament to approve his decision to go to war. He obtained authorisation for military action following a historic, compelling speech in 2003 and by stressing an imminent threat from Sadam Hussein due to his alleged possession of WMDs.

Blair was later investigated for deceiving Parliament with claims that he misused intelligence and overstated the threat posed by Iraq. The argument was that the UK's decision to go to war was grossly misguided and it was a huge scandal that ultimately contributed to Blair's resignation.

Ultimately, however, it was a decision that Parliament freely voted for. We were not dragged.

Instead of a transit visa, does having a valid U.S. or Canadian visa still work?

Hehe-- its power dynamics at play with the U.S being one of the beneficiaries of the war in Ukraine.

I think one outcome from all this would be a gap which China would aim to fill. We have already seen the EU president quicky change her speech in reference to China, also UK has gone there on a road trip there seeking investment.

Life is funny though- Just Imagine China saying they would annex Canada or saying to the UK/EU some of the things Trump has said. Imagine the media uproar- infact their diplomats would have been summoned to explain the rhetoric but now as per its big bros being the bully, they are all smiling sheepishly.

Trump did mention it in the last chat, If US haven’t been helping you, the war would have ended in 2weeks and he even confirmed that even in 3days 🤣. Reality don set in, who is the real BOSS. Ukraine is now a slaughter ram for both Russia and US. Both of them would take their share peacefully 🤣

Whatever freebies America think they are giving others, they also get their reward in the form of influence, nothing is free. If America pulls away so will their influence.
For example, Huawei is bad don't use it, allies obey even though they don't believe it is a threat to their own security, America wins.
Sanction this enemy, allies obey because America is the security guarantor. In all these US interest is advanced.
China has been trying to break US hegemony by breaking US alliances without success over the years but surprisingly Trump is now doing it for them in an era China is trying to build it's own alliances.
America needs others more than others need them in the long term. They are they ones that want to be super power like China and Russia. Others are okay being normal countries.

Trump might get the temporary "win" as he bullies allies now but in 5 ,10 years from now, their influence will diminish as others get their act together and ignore America's interests.

I see a situation where they will come back offering the same "freebies " they are crying about now to win back influence but it will be too late.

My brother nobody is fighting ww3. Infact ww3 is a scam. How many times in the last 3 years had Putin threatened nuclear war and ww3? Each time his bluff was called, he shift goal posts.

I remember his statement the day he signed order for Ukraine invasion saying anyone who helps them out will draw them into war with Russia. He threatened nuclear war if west supplied tanks to Ukraine. They supplied nothing happened. He issued threat before F16s was supplied. Then he threatened ww3 if Ukraine gets long range missiles, threatened nuclear war if Ukraine strike Russia with western long range missiles yet Ukraine struck, nothing happened.

If he got the liver for ww3, he could have attacked Poland where all Ukraine weapons are being shipped from but Biden has said he will defend every inch of Nato territory and the deterrence worked.

Ww3 will never be fought. It turns out that Trump is very weak. If an American president who spends more money in military than the next 10 countries combined is openly being scared about ww3 then that's a gift to Putin and Xi and they can use it to scare the shit out of Trump and get their way. In that case America deterrence is dead and they should stop wasting money on their military

This is what those who support him don’t understand, the man no get liver, someone who froze under Covid pandemic 😂. Ordinary to convince a fellow president to sign an agreement, he and his vp started shouting like schoolboys. He’s simply too scared

It’s a lesson for the entire Europe, their bootlicking to the US has been irritating for too long. Once US bans anything they will just follow even when there’s no reason to do so. Am partly happy with all what is going on, many thought Trump was back to do them a favour to upheld their supremacy but alas na wotowoto left, right and centre dem they collect. At least for now all those talks and rhetoric about migrants replacing them don reduce cos their own hands are full of how to handle the orange man. Imagine Canada banning liquors from the US off their shelves. That’s how bad things have gone for them. For my little corner I Dey laugh 😂. The movie sweet gan.

When I travelled with KLM last month, I specifically asked the lady at the counter, if transit visa was required to transit via schipol......

Her answer was affirmative..... KLM even has a message on their booking portal....... And a friend that flew lufthansa, said same.....

I don't know when they switched the rules.... I always thought, so long as you don't exit the transit airport, you're fine...... 😁

In Trump's quest to flaunt US brute strenght, he may send the country into a recession.

Unfortunately, countries like the UK may not be spared due to its close economic relationship with the US. Even

Businesses require a globalised environment with reasonable certainty to thrive. Trump brings the opposite.

Even Elon may not be spared from the economic damage trump will do if he does not bring his erratic behaviour to a halt
