Like IPOB and the Igbo people who are doing sit at home shutdown weekly?
20% or so productive hours per week flushed away

YoobaNesan:
Apt. The west will never go down, even when BRICS have been equipped to its teeth.
Their influence may be reduced a bit & harm clamped but don't expect to see the downfall of the west till the world ends as they've gotten a buffer in their colonies.
It is her colonies(Africa) that'll suffer should any global event doesn't go along their path.
Just look at COVID, UK lost a lot of health operational to this, but have been quickly and stealthily replaced by those from Africa.
So far Africa still exist, the West has got no problem for any incoming global event. & these colonies(Africa) will continue to remain under their master(West) for God knows when.

AnyanwuSilas:
But the reality is that the world is currently being restructured as we are getting to multi-polar world, some African countries in the Sahel are leaving the West & tilting to Russia and China. If you don't want freedom there are people who want it & also fighting for it.

How someone can be so confident and comfortable been a slave amazes me.
His statement is worrisome

CaveAdullam:


There's nobody except the president and his maesters who are fine in this country.

Even at that, as a norm, we do respond that we are fine.

PS: Let me go and watch Tucker Carlson et Vladimir Putin interview.

Before uncle Pansophist comes back from work.

It isn't the first to be called world power....where are the Greeks, Romans today

Pansophist,

The West is jittery that China will flood the global markets with cheap and reliable Chinese goods thereby reducing the clout of Western firms. The arrogance is what pisses me off! You blocked the Chinese from buying ASML machines, then are angry they (the Chinese) are exporting their own goods to the world.

I will come back with more, just don't want to get banned again.

Rules for thee but not for me.
aka 'Rules-based order' - we make the rules, you follow them, and we may follow them when it suits us. - signed USA and its vassals allies

Havent you observed a pattern in world history, that we black people are going extint...

Dont you think we need to fight back now we have the chance before a.i kills us.

Besides theres a video on arise tv where The cds claims simon ekpa currently controls the airspace of the south east. Whats your reaction to that.

pansophist:
China is ready to intervene militarily anywhere if the United States or NATO decides to attack Russia. China Ministry of defence warns.

With NATO floating with the idea of engaging Russia directly in Ukraine, China seems ready to officially join the war. Things are getting more messy it seems.

Gerrard59:


The US and her vassals allies just want war. As it is, it is glaring that Russia cannot be defeated or ostracised. A good thing countries have played neutral, rightfully so. Why should a problem in Ukraine concern an average Indonesian or Indian? Did Ukrainians before the war bother themselves with problems from New Delhi or Jakarta?

All die na die. The West hasn't come to terms with the reality that its hegemony is fading away. I urge the Chinese to stand strong and steadfastly. A defeated Russia means doom for China and the rest of the Global South.

pansophist:
It's official.

It is no longer a ''special military operation''. The Russian Ministry of Defence has announced that it is now in a ''state of war'' due to nato involvement, and all gloves are off.

The Dutch PM visited China to discuss Ukraine and, to a lesser extent, ASML. Well, Xi has stated that China would not relent in its determination to be a leader in semiconductor chip production and its value chain. On the other hand, the Dutch PM, a front-runner for NATO Chief position, has said he is in China to persuade China to stop supporting Russia.

I am really stunned by the arrogance of the West. Why do they expect China to stop supporting Russia after the sanctions they have slapped China with? Why do they think the Chinese would not be apprehensive that China will be next if Russia falls? What about the "Century of Humiliation" China suffered?

Also, Janet Yellen is visiting China. Bros, what exactly is she going to discuss with Chinese leaders? I am really curious.

pansophist:


The only thing preventing NATO from going full-scale offensive against Russia is China. If Nato is convinced and assured that China will not support Russia, then in their eyes, Russia is ripped for a full-scale invasion.

The only country that Nato truly fears is China, not Russia. Russia has been defeated many times in history, and the Nato alliance has spent the past few decades doing numerous war simulations for a successful defeat of Russia.

Russia is just about 145M people, Nato is close to 800M people. NATO has the money, people, industry, and hunger to preserve its hegemony, and Russia must not exist as a consequence. It is not a coincidence that Russia and China signed a ''no-limit partnership'' before Putin entered Ukraine.

The plan is to bleed Russia in Ukraine, weaken it with unprecedented sanctions, prolong the war observe weak points, and then finish off what's left with the massive power of the nato alliance when they consider Russia weak enough. It's like making two tigers fight over a prey, then kill the weaker winner.

As far as China is with Russia, their game plan is already a loss. China is the key here. I don't think the world knows the extent, depth, and sophistication of China's industrial capacity. China is a country that can outproduce the world combined.

China has this thing called a ''green nuclear bomb'', you might not see much info about it online, but its not a conventional nuclear bomb like the one that hit Hiroshima. This nuclear bomb will kill all living things, and leave the land untouched.

It is because if a country bombs China with Nuclear weapons, then China will retaliate and secure your land as its prize for its citizens. It is what Mao told the Soviets during the Sino-Soviet split. He told soviet leaders that if you bomb our land, we will enter your land.

We are over 600 million Chinese. Even if half of us enter the soviet union, it's more than your total population. This sent shocks down the Soviets, and they stopped the nuclear threat. China built on that. If the US nukes China, then the US belongs to China.

China's war machine makes Nato look like a joke. I just think it's better the world doesn't know much about China's military, otherwise, we would fear it. I have this Chinese online military friend that I met on Zhihu, the kind of thing this guy tells me, mehn, I just hope no country offends China.

China is not like others that talk too much. That shows all their military asset on youtube, but when war comes, it might surprise you that its AI and robots that would fight, and no single Chinese soldier will be seen. China is a powerhouse fo robotics and AI, remember.

After the creation of the PRC in 1949, Mao promised the Chinese that never a foreign force set foot in China. Never again will the century of humiliation repeat itself. And they worked through that promise.

It is also not a coincidence that China released a statement that they would fight alongside Russia if Russia's territorial integrity is breached. Because they know that the plan is to collapse Russia and break it into smaller countries, integrate them into the West, and use those new countries to deny China Russia's resources.

Just look at all the ex soviets states that became an enemy of Russia overnight, it will repeat itself again. China does not want new hostile countries that will make stationing nukes in their backyard possible. It's the reason why Mao gave North Korea nukes, to defend itself and prevent invasion from the US-Korea alliance.

You need oil and raw materials to fight a war, and China doesn't have it, but Russia does. Defeating China is not by war, it's by starvation. Just as you starve a tiger of air, and it will die. No need to wrestle with it.

Anyways, western leaders visiting China are dead on arrival. China will never cut ties with its largest neighbor, especially to favor a people that historically have enslaved it, currently surround it, and station nukes in Korea aiming at it. They are desperate for war, and they need to fight now because the future will make them weaker and fade into irrelevance.

After these events that currently plague the world, if we all come out of it unscathed, then it can be said that the multipolar world is officially here. Right now, we are in the middle of the Thucydides Trap

Panophist, the great encyclopedia!!!

You are the master of international politics in this nairaland. You are man of knowledge.

I don commot cap for you!

But my fear is can China trust Russia ? Remember that Russia was part those countries that joined the western powers to cut China to size during the 100 years century of humiliation.

pansophist:

For a single country to be the main trading partner of over 140 countries, just imagine if they would channel such industrial production capability to fight a war.

budaatum:


But this is precisely why China is doing so well. They don't stupidly spend the resource they have preparing for war I don't think, or they'd be poor like North Korea.

That's not to say they don't spend any, mind, but I think just enough to stop being attacked. And I think they know the weapons of the next war would be economical bullets and not the armaments the west are piling up.
