JohnBullMySon:Your ignorance and the 110 people who liked your post is appalling. Fact the bulk of the Technology used on the ISS is Russian based on the MIR Soviet space station built in 1986 and decommissioned in 2001. It was the first of its kind(modular). America at the time had no functional space station and in fact their Skylab Stations which ceased operations in the 70's had limited operating time before decommissioning. Lacking the technical knowledge to build a modular space station they invited Russia and other countries to participate in their new space programme. As the country with the most experience and tech in space technology Russia provided the bulk of the technical know how that is why there are two sections till date- The Russian section used by Russia alone and the American section used by America, the EU and Japan. I hope that you know that prior to Musk's Space x which made its first launches last year America had no way of sending astronauts to space without using Russian rockets? Even there current Programme is based on Russian rockets hence the ban by Russia. Furthermore till date the bulk of satellites sent to space by America and the West use Russian rockets. Let us please read and post informed comments on this platform. It is becoming a nuisance reading baseless statements on a forum that is meant to be educative. Peace |
KingEverest:Not disputing that. I was just clarifying that the economy is not insignificant as people wrongly assume. |
KingEverest:I don't know why everyone disregards Russia as an Economy. I hope you know it has the 11th Largest economy in the world using nominal GDP and sixth largest in the World using PPP (purchasing Power Parity). Do you think it was a member of the G8 because of its "pile of Nukes"? Make una research before Posting abeg. |
OnomeP:Does the west allow that? Did they accept when Cuba allied with USSR and accepted USSR's base with missiles? You remember the US was ready to engage in Nuclear war for that. That is the same scenerio here. Putin or any other President will do the same because it is an existential issue. Putin has no problem with Ukraine Joining the EU it is NATO that is the problem because if Ukraine joins NATO Russias containment will be complete. The same thing is being attemped with Taiwan/Hongkong and Japan with China. That matter will also arise soon. I do not understand why the West can decide that they have the moral compass to determine the strategic boundries of other Nations but hold themselves inviolate. A multipolar world is best for all. Peace |
longetivity:So should Obama, Bush Sr and Jr, Netanyahu, Blair etc. Putin has done nothing worse. What is good for the Goose is Good for the Gander. |
Maxymilliano:When the US did the same thing who Sanctioned them? Who has sanctioned Israel for their continued genocide and apartheid in Palestine? Putin is deffending his territorial integrity nothing more. Will the US let Mexico enter a millitary alliance with China/Russia? Please read and understand the real issues here before commenting. Peace |
Odewaleadesoye:I wish they were as fast to ban Saudi Arabia STATE MEDIA from monetizing Facebook when Kashogi was killed in a Saudi embassy in Turkey. Once it's Russia everybody becomes a Tiger. Rubbish |
TOPCRUISE:Has he killed more than the tens of thousands killed by US in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya etc. Has he killed more than the Israelis have killed in Palestine? Has he killed more than the Saudis (an American Ally) have killed in Yemen (a war nobody talks about-because America's Strategic Ally Saudi Arabia is involved). Abeg make we hear. If as a country we have a leader who is a quarter of Putin we won't be who we are today. |
YoungLionken:When the US and her cronies invade other countries for their strategic interests no problem. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria etc no problem. In Syria they even supported rebel groups against the govt. Calling them moderate rebels. Once another nation carries out an activity to protect their interest which is against them it is the end of the world. I rest my case on this issue. Keep on believing Western rhetoric and don't think for yourself. Peace |
womenareapess:Waw the 7 day war before or after 1947? Abeg |
womenareapess:I don't have time to discuss with the non enlightened and fanatical. We are talking about states in the modern epoch. Even in early history Palestine existed before Israel. Where was the promised land of the Bible please? Go and read and come back to me. I am done |
Righteousness2:I am surprised at this comment and that you have 34 likes so it means 35 of you don't know that Israel as a modern state was created in 1947 and declared in 1948? The level of ignorance on this platform is baffling |

sotall:Sorry for the typo. I meant 70% more expensive. However my reasoning remains valid. Cancelling Nord 2 means nothing as Gas prices have already increased by more than 50% since this crisis began and will soon hit 100% increase which is not sustainable for most of these nations especially during winter. Fact is Gas is best delivered via pipelines and shipping gas can never be cheaper. Ban Russia from SWIFT? That won't happen and I don't have the energy to go into a discourse why. Peace |
Righteousness2:Why did you skip your meds this morning? Trust you not to disappoint |
sotall:Wrong Analysis. The West cannot do without Gas from Russia. They can boycott oil (which they currently buy very little anyway) but not Gas. A cubic of Gas from Russia through pipelines is 7 times cheaper than Gas from any other source by Sea. So figure it out. Have you not noticed that few European countries have carried out meaningful actions over this issue till date?Economics always wins in the end. Peace |
sammysmiles:My brother I never said he applied. Read what I wrote again. He offered/showed interest but the West did not agree to his terms. My point is if the West Truly wanted peace they would have accepted and ended the threat to European security once and for all. Considering Russia's Military might and ihe perceived threat that should have been done. However if Russia joins NATO that will also remove NATO's relevance and lead to its eventual collapse because without a threat why should countries pay to be part of the alliance. Peace |
sammysmiles:Do your research. I won't do it for you - between 2000 and 2003 as a guide. Peace |
FERNANDEZISBACK:. You obviously don't know your History and only listen to Western rhetoric. Listen when the Soviet Union collapsed there was an understanding that the West through NATO would not extend beyond Germany since East Germany a former Russian controlled area was now reunited with West Germany. However within half a decade a good deal of the Baltic States and former Soviet Republics has joined NATO giving the West the right to place weapons on Russian Borders. However what broke the Camels back was the attempt to bring Ukraine into NATO in 2014 by orchestrating the overthrow of an elected government violently and recognising the legitimacy of the coup plotters (Western Hypocrisy at its peak). The end point is that Russia would have lost Svestopol it's only warm sea port effectively ceasing to be a Naval Power and also losing one of its most important Buffer zones in the event of an invasion (the other being Belarus - check your map for a better understanding). Putin is only doing what any true Nationalist Leader will do- protecting National Interests. Remember that the US was ready to go into an all out War with Russia over missile placement in Cuba? Cuba is farther away from the US than Ukraine is from Russia. Do you get the point now? Today the US has missile bases in NATO countries all around Russia yet they call Russia the aggressor. Are you aware Putin himself offered to join NATO but was rejected. Bottom line the West (America) needs an aggressor to fund its Military Industrial Complex and needs periodic wars and tensions for this. This crisis will lead to increased arms sales and increased Military spending. However the West knows Putin has won and nothing will change that - He cannot be stopped Military and Sanctions will have minimal effect as Russia has since removed dependence from Western supply chains and Financing.. Furthermore he is using an angle that the West used in former Yugoslavia by recognising self declared Republics and answering their call for Military aid(Remember Kosovo?). So there is a precedent. Once more he has checkmated them. All hail the Grandmaster. Peace |
backnbeta:Unlike what you CNN analysis fanboys think the world is scared because Russia is the no.2 military might on the planet. She has the largest nuclear arsenal and best delivery systems on the planet. She also has the best air defence systems in the World. Like the USA, China, India and Australia she also cannot be invaded successfully for geographical reasons. Are these not reasons enough? Please go and read objective analysis on Military balance in the world. Even if Ukraine was a part of NATO the entire NATO can not defeat Russia in an all out war. That is a fact as it will lead to MAD. Those who know know Putin is a master strategist and will get what he wants in the long run just like in Syria and Venezuela. Peace |
Mrupdate11:I won't consider my wife with another woman cheating. Rather I will be glad to key in - 3some things. |
CHARLOE:Thank you. The Levites where church workers who did not own land or husbandry hence their inclusion. Tithing was for all needy persons by the tither not necessarily the Church |
Peterosky:Religion is the opium of the masses as Marx said. We are arguably the most religious country on earth. How far today with all the prayers and tithing Rubbish |
Victor08032:Keep quiet. Someone is saying the truth and you are renting nonsense because you have been brainwashed. Carry on decieving yourselves. When time reach una eye go clear |
YinkaOlusesi16:How can you give to God that owns everything? How can you Give/love a God you don't see more than the man you see everyday. You the tissue between your head please. Peace |
benjackugo:Save this for your sheep not those that use their brains. The bulk of the wealthiest people on planet earth are atheists/non Christians yet they did not experience your so called near success syndrome. The gall of these pastorprenuers never ceases to amaze me. Rather than teach morality and understanding God it's all about wealth. What does he have to say about Countries like China that don't pay tithe are they not successful? tithing is giving and not necessarily to the Church. It is a universal principal that those who know utilise. I must not give my tithe/charity to the Church. Bill Gates has done more for charity than all of you put together and he does not pay tithe as he is not a Christian. Stop focusing on Malachi interpretation of tithe and also consider Deuteronomy 14-22. Anyways your rhetoric only works on the gullible. I have not been to church in 30 years and have not paid tithes but the Grand Architect has still blessed me in all ramifications and I reciprocate by helping my fellow man which is my tithing.Peace |
PrinceOfLagos:They are all fraudulent. No exceptions |
TheGreatIYANU:You are wrong. Sociology is the preferred course for HR professionals and Management Consultants due to its content. Most HR practitioners read sociology, Pol Admin, Philosophy etc. They are also preferred for Admin. Do your research. I am a sociology graduate with 20 years in HR so I have my data. |
Neimar:Done more than YOU will ever achieve in your miserable life. Don't hate the player. You can say this about a candidate for best footballer ever? You dwarf fanatics never cease to surprise me. |
Nonexisting:They may not even be minors. That has not been proven yet |
Barryseal:One reasonable post. No wonder we are where we are as a country. People dont use their brains anymore.That is a state General Hospital for God's Sake! |
Omicronvaccine:Most marriages in the middle East are arranged with the bride having no say. Could be the lady did not really want the marriage and was hoping for this very outcome. Don't forget there is a precedent. |
