Yes, I know that. But don't forget you implied that most of them are from the West. And you still have not explained why Western weapons and other products are much more expensive. You have not explained why Western companies prefer to produce goods in Asia and then ship them back to their homelands.

Western products are more expensive because countries like China and India are very favourable, most (if not all) of earths rare metals are mined from china, this means materials for production will be very cheap.

See why most manufacturing companies are moving there ?

FoolishBoy419:
I googled and there was nothing to prove your claim and like I said, the S-400 is just one example.

in most technology around the world today it is almost impossible to remove western and chinese technology

The USA buy rockets from Russia because Russia rockets are the best, USA rockets are not good enough and same reason Russia government failed to produce commercial airline engines even if they are good with military engine.
It is now that Russia is trying to build commercial airline engines after seeing how USA and EU crashed her aviation services

USA military equipments are overpriced and even USA government always said it, because USA military equiments are built by private contractors too many middlemen on the military deals unlike China and Russia military equiments are mostly built in their defense ministry.

about that rocket stuff like i said you can't get legit news on twitter.

I read a news about elon musk twitting about u.s broom sticks.

The U.S can build rockets but it will be very expensive so it is better to buy. So you are only partially correct

FoolishBoy419:
Most of its components being from the West (I'm not sure this is even true) wouldn't necessarily make it cheaper. Don't forget that it's not just the S-400. Almost every Russian or Chinese weapon is cheaper than an American weapon of the same class. Like I said, this doesn't apply to weapons alone. It's just how their economy is structured. It's for this same reason that American retirees move to the Caribbean to enjoy their wealth.

Even Americans admit that Russians make better rocket engines. It's not even debatable

like i have said you can't get true on twitter and facebook or on most news channels..


Most of the components are western while most of the materials are chinese or indian. No one can upset this balance except you are a real genius.

Even materials for the F35 are mainly chinese and india origin

FoolishBoy419:
I'm surprised that someone is even asking me how US weapons are overpriced in 2023. It is mostly the result of how US economy is structured in terms of wages and general price levels. What costs a million dollars to build in America can be built in many other countries at a far lesser price. Sure, US weapons tend to have more quality but the difference is not good enough to justify the price difference.

Consider the cost of Russian Submarines, tanks, missiles, missile defense systems, and others against those of USA. US weapons are far more expensive but the qualities remain similar. In fact, some Russian weapons are even more effective. Most countries would rather buy the S-400 than USA's THAAD not because the THAAD is more expensive but because the S-400 has better quality.

The same thing applies in other things such as services and infrastructure. Why do you think many American companies prefer to outsource their production to Asia? Everything is overpriced in USA. Even food.

s-400 don't have a better quality it is just cheap... nothing more.

It is cheap not because of the engineers but because most of the components are western origin and not produced within russia.

Have u asked yourself why the u.s buys rockets from russia instead of building rocket ?

FoolishBoy419:
It's like you don't know how overpriced US ammunitions can be. A big chunk of that 1 trillion dollars goes to salaries, aircraft carrier servicing, maintainance of their numerous bases around the world, etc.

There is nothing you can't buy with a trillion dollars.
Overpriced ? How is it overpriced ?

I will explain what i mean if u want to learn tho.

seunny4lif:

Maybe the rumours are true about Yemen forces have launched multiple drones attack on USA navy ships, and one of the ship have been damaged because Biden going to situation room at the same time of the news coming from Yemen.

This is the second attack from the red sea axis.

For the first time though, it's been directed at the USN itself instead of Israel, forcing the US to expend a lot of ammunition.

USA might been needing ammunitions herself very soon.
Let’s wait and see

us has hundreds of surface ships attacking few does not mean anything.

I stopped reading when u said alot of ammunitions with 1 trillion dollars you can buy any weapon you want

If there are hundreds of refineries world wide why build more refineries ?

Now i guesss for 8yrs the APC government (buhari and president tinubu) are hoping to crash the price of PMS and the dollar.

Why is the government closing borders ?
Shutting down markets ?
Increasing insecurity ?

Both are taking about diversification of the economy but it is not possible even in the near future except these are fully developed.


Both are talking about bringing back manufacturing job i believe former president buhari did this, hoping it will decrease the price of food except that in reality it can't infact it will increase it further because no one can produce food in an unsecured environment... I will make more profit buying from neighbours than farming in an unsecured environment because i still have to pay for security, faster means of transportation and others.

Both are talking about our refineries even if we repair them the battle will be not be over because we have to employ experts (an expert can never come to an unsecured environment)

The manufacturing sector is worst hit by the dollar because of this.

Burob:
Oil is 13% of the GDP, ask yourself what makes up the remainder 87%.

I am from the Niger Delta Region, Nothing those lazy things have used the money they have collected from The Federal Government Since 1970 for anything, nothing to show.

Delta State has collected the highest allocation from the FAAC year after year for the last 8 years, to say think out the box, is an insult to those animals that occupy that region.

what makes up the 87% ?

whatisthetruth:
They will tell you to go back to your village.

Meanwhile that village is one of the villages that accounts for over 90% of Nigeria's foreign revenue.

Small time now they will come and say Lagos economy, this, that...

Why can't Lagos fetch us dollars then?

You despise the people, tell lies against them about how you don't need them, but sometimes the truth just bobbles up to the surface.

The whole country should be grateful the south south/east for feeding everyone from Bayelsa to Enugu to Lagos to Ondo to Benue to Kano to Sokoto...

Small time again they will forget and tell you to go back to your village.

Nigeria is nothing without oil for the next 50 years.

Badca81:
After watching the new mortal kombat cartoon, i just weak. The cartoon is pure satanic. I noticed it when they mentioned THE BROTHERHOOD, a cult group higher than Illuminati in USA and that they know martial arts which is true as all members trained . I read all these in the book ' HE CAME TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE'. If you get mind read the book pdf and see for yourself, that is if you no dey fear

Read that book almost 2yrs ago, so i google the writer ( i hate reading spiritual books, except the authors are christians and not spiritualist) my interest reduced when the results were showing her stories were all false.

I don't know how true tho

The Burial 8/10
It is an enjoyable movie.

Is it an horror movie ?

Alamkir:
Do u see Russia bombing women and children, schools, hospitals, humanitarian building and women and children escaping from the war. Russia is still paying tax to Ukraine, in Ukraine they are still partying and flexing while in war. Meanwhile Isreal has stop water, food, electricity, internet all the basic amenities from entering Gaza and they didn't allow aid to enter either, even Satan (devil) cannot do this to human being.
But u will not understand since u hav the heart of Satan

Russia is also cutting ukraine from food - how many tons grains has russia destroyed ?

Electricity - did not russia announced plans to do this ?

Now putin is saying it is ilegal to stop food and electricity, it is hard to proof you are a saint when everyone knows you are not.

Anyone else can say this but not russia or iran.

Alamkir:
U go explain tire. Dem no go Hear

But iran is giving weapons to russia to attack critical infrastructures in ukraine too.

The reason they gave is thesame reason why israel is bombing gaza.


It is actually funny that iran is talking about barbaric bombardment when their weapons are used to destroy energy infrastructure in ukraine, they even justified the attack so who is the saint now ?

⚡"There are some captives from other nationalities. They are our guests and we will release them as soon as it is possible."

What were they hoping to achieve by capturing them in the first place.

Looks like they are begging for support

kokomilala:
@Allthelight, a question should suffice for your question , which is totally irrelevant to the discourse.

Nigeria is not a nation. It's a country, a nation state .

My point is aljazeera is bias the land belongs to both jews and arabs. Both have historic sites there

But if you want to talk about historic route the land was owned by jews first

WriterrNig:
⚡Israel has no plans to occupy Gaza after the end of the conflict, nor does it have any desire to rule the lives of Palestinians, Israel's ambassador to the US, Michael Herzog, said

Occupying gaza will require re-education including provision of infrastructures and appointment of the all political leaders in gaza.

Some of us knows what occupation actually means

WriterrNig:
⚡The US has the possibility to support Ukraine and Israel at the same time, US President Joseph Biden said

The u.s can fund israel, ukraine and even taiwan

They are the only millitary power to do it.

Aremson14:
Is it a lie? Did they or did they not kill people of Palestine? Indeed humans will always be biased.

See there are not good people in this war, you think you know this world ?

The arabs went to war and lost

kokomilala:
Only The Mentally Lazy Would Rely On This Channel For This Piece

I posted here yesterday that the nation Israel didn't exist as a nation before 1948. Some guy asked me not to cite the Bible, even as I had cited history. I felt it was best to ignore him.

Palestine or whatever it pretends to be is originally the ancestral home of the Jews. Genesis 12, 15, 32. It was their sheer obidience to God that cost them the land.

Punitively , God dispersed them throughout the world, but spoke through prophet Jeremiah thst that they would return to their land.

No amount of gang up against Israel can prosper- even if they come with the armies of hell.

When did Nigeria became a nation ?

FoolishBoy419:
There are no more settlements, but Israel still treats Gaza as its territory. You cannot insist that a territory is yours but at the same time, the members of that territory cannot go to other parts of the country without needing a permit. How can you force me to be a Nigerian but at the same time, I need a special permit before I can travel to Mano just because I'm of a different ethnic group?

And let me guess. Those who support Israel's ongoing Holocaust against Palestinians are full humans, right?

Things you have said that are false

It is their ancestral land - This is false it is jews and arab ancestral land both have history of the land. Moreover based on international you can't claim any land ( you guys are so misinformed can the yoruba claim benin republic ? ) except maybe a referendum and security assurance.

Israel is stealing their land - Palestine have no border because they rejected it and went to war which they lost

FoolishBoy419:
Hamas has not out any effort towards seizing new territories. The only entity that's seeking expansion is Israel. Merely looking at Israel's map between 1947 and 2023 is enough for anybody that has a shred of honesty to make a conclusion. They are seizing more and more lands as the days go by.

Another funny comment, i now think you did your research by reading post on twitter and facebook.

There are no more israelis settlement in gaza is there peace now ?

Only sub humans will support the crimes by hamas

FoolishBoy419:
Fine, I take back my word. It is not their ancestral land. So what makes it okay for Israel to kick Palestinians out of the land they have been occupying for centuries and give it freely to Jews? What gives Israel the right to go against what was agreed on by the UN and create new settlements in forbidden areas?

Because hamas also want to liberate tel aviv ( for me israel should not have given back any territory then)
Even if israel don't the goal of palestinians is to liberate tel aviv..
See why i said it is peculiar and you need to hear from both side first ?

Ancestral land.. Something used by putin to justify his war.

FoolishBoy419:
By Biafra, do you mean the SouthEast? I'm asking because both regions were all Biafra but if you are asking if Southeast Igbos can go to the South South and claim ownership of the entire region then trouble is what will happen. Even if Igbos once owned the South-south, they have no right to tell anyone to vacate it at this point.

If you can say this why come up with "ancestral land"?

FoolishBoy419:
If you have been occupying a place for even as "short" as 500 years, I believe you can call it your ancestral land. That your holy fiction says otherwise doesn't mean it is true and even if it is true, you can't just come and start throwing people out of the houses they built or inherited simply because you owned it two thousand years ago. You and I know that it is ridiculous.

Did u read about the biafra war ?
Armenia war ?


Pls read thosr up before you start talking about ancestral land thank u.

By the way israel is getting smaller not bigger and they are becoming week because of this bullshit "ancestral land"

FoolishBoy419:
They are very funny, indeed.

Except given by who? And when discussing Israel, the last thing that should be talked about is international law because to them, it is simply nonexistent.

Maybe this is my there are alot of pro russia folks here...

You guys know nothing about land.

Let me ask you this question what will happen if biafra start claiming south south is their ancestral land and they want it back ?

This is nigeria history ooh wait it already happened during the civil war

waow Nigerians are really funny.

Well by international law you have no land except given

FoolishBoy419:
So far, you have not shown signs of knowing anything significant about the conflict. In case you don't know, I grew up believing that Israel was on the good side and Palestinians were just terrorists before I sat down and learned about the whole issue starting from the 1940s. Back then, religion and fake news from the so-called mainstream media shaped my opinion before I began to ask myself questions after developing interest in international politics and world history. What Hamas does is wrong, but judging from what their land is being subjected to, they are not even brutal enough.

You cannot treat people like animals in their own ancestral land, kill them when they protest, kick them out of their homes and freely give it out to others simply because they are of the Jewish race, shoot their children, bomb entire neighborhoods for the crimes of few men, deny them basic amenities while blockading them (even in peace time), etc and expect to get zero animosity from those same people. Are you aware that there are many Palestinians that cannot go back home and see their families simply because Israel has refused to permit them? Can you imagine a Fulani man saying that you cannot enter southern Nigeria without his permission even though you have not seen your family for over a decade? I don't know about you but if someone did this to me, I would protest and if that fails, I would form a militia and fight for my right to exist.

If you say that Israel has the right to do this because the God of the bible said that it is their land, then you aren't different from the ISIS and other extremists that you claim to hate.

ancestral land ?

Any proof sir ?

Because that is a very peculiar subject.

IMEI:
If indeed this results into a major war involving israel, Ukraine will take a backseat

Most of the funding to the U.S' defence sector is to maintain its bases around the world and not to boost it's capabilities...this is one of the main reasons, Russia's military hardware bests U.S hardware

The U.S spend more than 1trillion dollars on
their military.

The funding goes into development, if it is not effective russia won't complain about nato's military training.

Some of you underestimate the power of the u.s. Even the civillians there are armed, the u.s is a threat to the world in terms of military.

No one comes close except maybe China.
