Somebody please help me make sense of the US bombings in Sokoto on the 25th of December:
Bombs were dropped in Tambuwal and areas around it in Sokoto state.
Then "debris" from the same bombing campaign "fell" in Offa, Kwara state.
I used the map of Nigeria to make sense of the proximity of both places and this is what the map says:
Zamfara and Kebbi states border Sokoto to the south and then there is this huge chunk of landmass called Niger state acting as a seemingly huge land bridge between Kwara state (the entire north of Kwara state shares a border with Niger state) and Zamfara/Kebbi states BEFORE you ever get to Sokoto.
Additionally, Google map says it's a huge 665km distance (minimum) between Offa, Kwara state and Tambuwal, Sokoto state.
So, how come "debris" from bombings in Tambuwal, Sokoto state didn't "fell" in Sokoto, somehow skipped Zamfara/Kebbi States and then completely missed that huge chunk of land called Niger state and but had the courage to descend in Offa!
Was it that gravity was on slow-mo on that day and decided to make all of us question what we know about motion of projectiles?
Did the US deliberately drop ordinances on civilians in Kwara state with the bombs in Tambuwal acting as a decoy?
Is the US trying, on their first strike, to rid Kwara of the Chinese presence?
I remember foolishboy419 stating here that he fears America and her mercenaries would leverage strikes on so-called terrorists groups in the north to try and wrestle control of natural resources from the Chinese already doing business in Kwara state, displacing them there and then escalating the already precarious security situation there.
Why is everyone pretending like we're fine when we clearly aren't?
How could debris from their "precision strikes", on the first day of such strikes, fall in Kwara state in a location that's almost 700km from the scene of the bombings!
Today it is Kwara; tomorrow it could that they drop bombs in Borno and we find houses in Benue state on fire from so-called "debris" that refused to "fell" within the vicinity of the bombings but rather maliciously chose to fall on the heads of innocent people far asleep in their homes at a distance of 1000km from the scene of the bombings!
I smell a rat!
I support every action - unilateral, bilateral, multilateral - that could lead to degradation weakening of these demons in human flesh unleashing mayhem on our country, if not totaling exterminating their threats.
Having said that, I am still at a loss as to how "debris" from the bombings in Sokoto state miraculously "fell" in Offa, Kwara state!
Some kind Nigerian should be help me make sense of it.
I'd appreciate responses, please.
Thank y'all!

Yes, he did it.. they have the capabilities and the motivation.. You think Nigerian Government was carried along like that, what you're seeing is just face serving rhetorics and clownish teasing to give the government soft landing. He promised to do it, even without the government, it was your government that begged to be carried along

No serious operations should be carried out with close coordination with this country/government esp since there's compromised at almost all level of governance. For us to have clean success, they must strikes and tease us later

The full presidential statement reads:

“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries! I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues.”

⚡The U.S. Coast Guard is not yet able to seize the Venezuela-linked oil tanker Bella 1 because it lacks nearby specialized boarding forces.

The ship has refused boarding, meaning only elite Coast Guard teams—of which there are very few—can take it by force.

So you really believe Xi would defend Venezuela with his Navy if America strikes? That's how you guys hyped Iran, still neither China nor Russia came to Iran's aid.

The Chinese Navy has had a presence in South America for some time now. It's not because of the present tension between the US and Venezuela. Wait till the US strikes, that is if they really mean it , till then, let's watch what how the whole game turns ou.

⚡Putin answering a question on whether the 3I/ATLAS comet, which has been flying towards Earth for several months. could be an alien ship (my translation):

"Let’s keep this strictly between us, because it's classified information. (It's) our secret weapon. We’ll only use it in the most extreme case. Which we won’t, because we’re actually against putting weapons in space.

"Jokes aside, it’s just a comet. Our scientists know exactly what it is. It’s from another galaxy, so it behaves differently from our local comets. It has a different shell, comes closer to the Sun, some unusual processes on the surface. Even the tail looks a bit odd. Nothing mystical.

"It’s a decent size, maybe two to six kilometres. But for perspective: the Moon is 400,000 kilometres away. This thing is hundreds of millions of kilometres from us. So no, it’s not about to hit anyone."

I think the wide margin can be attributed to the fact that the Russian side have the advantage of retrieving their dead from the battlefield with ease. The territories they attack usually fall under their control within a very short time. I have been following up especially with History Legend unbiased analysis and I will say both sides are having kia ratio of 3:1 in some battles. Most of these casualties arising from drone attacks on personnel. In all both sides are not having it easy and this war like many others will end in the negotiations. Russia contrary to MSM media reports on their meat wave tactics, deploy their personnel only to mop up after encirclement of target locations. Their assault teams barely exceed 8men at a go.
