Mr. Op who loves to rant about the Arab affairs and American "military weakness", my advice to you is to stop the foolery. On what planet do you reside? Hating America shouldn't make you lose your senses. You have the right to Hate but you should also be able to see clearly when you are crying and have tears in your eyes.

Russia can never, I repeat that Russia can never sustain a long-haul war. Go and learn what Afghanistan did to Russia. Is there any country that can sustain two wars at the same time in a span of 13 years? American military is built to sustain 50 year war on five fronts. America is the gentle giant of military might. Putin knows this very well. When is Putin going to try to engage one NATO nation in a conflict?

If ever a time happens that Russia ends up in military conflict with the U.S, I rather be on the U.S side because Russia is no match to U.S in terms of arsenal. All Russia can boast of are nuclear arsenal that the entire NATO ready to unleash on Russia if Russia ever try to use it.

The U.S has refrained from showing chest muscle like Putin has been doing in the last 12 years. The Americans know what they have and won't brag about it. Putin can keep boasting and keep showing his insecurity and inferiority. Displaying weapon upgrades doesn't mean you have more arsenal than the U.S.

Putin just did a checkmate in Syria

Syria’s ambassador to the UN Bashar al Jaafari also refuted the claims of atrocities that Western counterparts appeared to be so perplexed by.

Western governments and media outlets persisted in their gory fantasies despite abundant video footage that even they themselves were broadcasting which showed thousands of civilians calmly walking away from militant-held pockets of Aleppo towards the Syrian state forces. Is that the behavior of people who are being massacred, summarily executed, slaughtered?

One of the most absurd distortions was this from France 24. The state-owned broadcaster of one of the countries that has supplied weapons and propaganda cover to terrorists in Syria over the past six years described this week how «people in government-held areas of Aleppo were celebrating». Given that the Syrian government holds virtually all of Aleppo that means that the vast majority of Syrians were celebrating. Yet France 24 roils its words to contrive a false division between pro and anti-government populations.

The more logical and truthful depiction is that Syrian civilians are at last able to flee from terror gangs that have held them under siege. But in reporting that the whole false Western narrative about what has been going on in Aleppo and Syria for the past six years would implode like a house of cards.

Why aren’t the Western news media interviewing the tens of thousands of civilians who have now managed to flee from the defeated terrorist groups? Why don’t the Western media ask questions about the nature of their captivity? Such as, why could they not escape from militant-held eastern Aleppo until now? What do these civilians think of the Syrian army and its allies who have crushed the militants?

The curious, gaping absence of any testimonies carried by the Western media from the thousands of liberated civilians in Aleppo is mirrored by the same curious, gaping absence of testimonies from thousands of civilians liberated elsewhere in Syria by the army over the past year.

That’s because those civilians are telling media outlets which are willing to report, such as the Syrian state broadcaster SANA, as well as RT, Press TV and Al Manar, that their nightmare siege imposed by the Western-backed terrorists is over. If Western media outlets were to actually bother to conduct real journalism they would go into liberated areas of Aleppo and other towns and villages across Syria and report that life is returning to happy normalcy for these families and communities.

The truth is Aleppo was invaded by Western-backed mercenaries in July 2012, who turned the eastern side of the city into a den ruled under a reign of terror. A twisted, demented caliphate run by head-chopping Wahhabi jihadists was imposed. Like Syria as a whole, these mercenaries were sanitized in the West as «moderate, pro-democracy rebels» – albeit somehow supposedly «intermingled» with jihadi extremists.

If that were the case, then where are these supposed «moderates» now that the last den of the «rebels» in Aleppo has been routed?

The stark absence of «moderate», «pro-democracy», «Western-value-supporting rebels» emerging from the ruins of Aleppo is as stark as the absence of petrified civilians denouncing Syrian army «atrocities» or Russian «war crimes».

In one resounding moment this week, the Western narrative about Aleppo, and the Syrian war more generally, has collapsed in a pile of dust. No amount of denials and further distortions can hide the exposure of Western lies and propaganda fabrications.

So ironically, Western media outlets have recently whipped up the phenomenon of «fake news» in the context of trying to discredit Russia over alleged electoral interference in the US and Europe.

What Syria has demonstrated is that the real culprits of peddling false news, and more gravely false narratives, are the Western governments and their conceited, self-important news media.

Unable to deal with the unbearable truth of criminal complicity, the official West is displaying a meltdown of sanity.

Aleppo and Syria will one day emerge again from the present ruins. No such recovery from ruins will be made by the ignominious Western governments and their lying, criminally complicit media.

The US and its terrorist-sponsoring partners are seeing their criminal regime-change project in ruins, as the Syrian army and its allies win a spectacular victory to retake the strategically important city of Aleppo.

Western governments and their flunkies at the UN are cynically, perversely decrying a «meltdown of humanity».

Closer to the truth is their own «meltdown of sanity». This is because the official Western narrative about the Syrian war is finally being exposed on a glaring scale.

The exposure for the whole world to see is one of a systematic, fake propaganda cover that concealed a criminal enterprise – an enterprise involving terrorist proxies, or fake moderate rebels, whom the Western governments have sponsored for the past six years in a conspiracy to overthrow the government of Syria. The gravity of this systematic crime committed by Washington and its various partners is now unfolding.

Unable to cope with their own cognitive dissonance over the criminality, the Western governments and their complicit corporate news media are resorting to outright denial and to compounding lies with even more lies.
Instead of dealing with the reality that Syrian state forces have recaptured Aleppo from brutal, illegally armed groups, which the West and its regional clients have bankrolled and armed, the West distorts the dramatic victory as the «fall of Aleppo». One report on American channel CNN even referred to the victorious Syrian army and its allies as «persecutors».

With typical unhinged emotion, US ambassador to the UN Samantha Power cited unverified reports of civilians being executed in Aleppo, and slammed Syria and its allies Russia and Iran for having «no shame». It is Power and her Western partners-in-crime, including top UN officials, who should be hanging their heads in shame.

Among the hysterical soundbites about alleged atrocities and slaughter being lobbed around this week was this from UN «humanitarian» official Jens Laerke who said Aleppo was seeing a «meltdown of humanity». Catchy words, but divorced from reality.

Western news media outlets were screaming headlines alleging summary executions of women and children by the Syrian army and its Russian, Iranian and Lebanese allies as they moved in to finally retake the whole of the northern city.

Outgoing UN chief Ban Ki-Moon talked in disparaging tones about an «uncompromising military victory», while his underlings Rupert Colville and Jan Egeland decried «hellish» conditions and «war crimes» committed by Syria and Russia.

The problem is that all these sensational, reckless assertions are based on unverified claims by anonymous «activists» or persons involved with militants – militants who are integrated with terror groups like Jaysh al Fatah, Jabhat al Nusra, Ahrar al Sham and Nour al din al Zenki. All of them affiliated with the internationally proscribed Al Qaeda terrorist network – which the Western governments claim to be at war with.

It truly is a grotesque revelation when Western governments and UN officials publicly spout propaganda on behalf of terrorist groups.

Samantha Power and her British counterpart at the UN Matthew Rycroft cited UN «reports» of 82 civilians being executed, including 11 women and 13 children, by the pro-government Syrian forces during the final hours of recapturing Aleppo. But the same UN «reports» were themselves based on unverified sources supposedly embedded among the terrorists. This is not reportage. It is simply recycling rumors aimed at saving the necks of terrorist groups.

The simple fact of the information coming from unverified sources did not stop the UN, Power, Rycroft and the raft of Western media outlets, including the Washington Post, CNN, Guardian, Independent, France 24 etc, presenting the claims as if they were fact.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Western governments and their dutiful, unquestioning news media of spreading «fake news» about the dramatic events in Syria this week. Lavrov pointed out that none of the alleged atrocities were acknowledged by independent humanitarian groups.

Onyocha:
Well, humanity from the surface, fine. But going by the wars that the British and Americans have fought of recent, they themselves don't have a good record on human rights. The Americans and British think strategically. They think of their interests. They have long been complaining and not selling weapons to Nigeria because of what they say is because of human rights abuses by the Nigerian security. They may have just found use or purpose for the Zaria massacre to employ it and make a statement once and for all that enough is enough. And it all starts with one statement from here and one from there. Time will tell what is the motives of these statements. The USA embassy had previously also made a statement. Then the state department spokesman also released a statement. Now the U.K. high commission. It's undoubtedly getting interesting. Let's keep watching the next statement and by who.

At least the British and Americans don't send their soldiers on a religious cleansing mission on their own citizens on the behest of Saudi Arabia

Sunnymatey:
I cant explain the rationale behind APC pomposity when an army officer goes down fighting Boko Haram, its this same myopic mentality they ve transfered into our sports by wishing our teams engaging in international competitions not to come ov with any postive result. APC and FAILURE are like bread and butter.

They are using an obvious failure of dead soldiers to their propaganda advantage by turning KIAs to heroes.

In just one month, we lost 4 lt.Colnels and they expect us to praise Buruntai and buhari when soldiers are dying like flies.


This is propaganda 101

Onyocha:
This statement from the British high commission is either loaded with meanings and implications for the presidency or it is an uncalculated statement meant to only blow air for public consumption and for eye service and to be ignored and not taken seriously; in other words hypocrisy.

If the statement at face value is anything to be taken seriously then there are serious implications. Soldiers who took part will explain who ordered them and where the order originated from. Both the governor of kaduna and the president have justified the clampdown and also condemned the IMN to the extent of labeling them "insurgents".

Even if the governnent is to take action against soldiers that took part, I don't see that happening. The clampdown did not stop with the killings between December 12 to 14 of 2015. Several incidents have taken place where more lives have been lost. Recently in Kano during another religious procession. Punishing soldiers who took part in the Zaria massacre would mean an end to the clampdown on Shiites, and particularly the IMN members. For a government still actively taking measures against the group even after the killings and court order calling for Zakzaky's release, I don't think following the advice of the British is in order.

For these reasons, I think the Western governments, in particular the USA and the U.K. having hidden motives and actions they would take over time regarding the Zaria massacre. The case is still loading at the ICC. I really don't see how this Zaria massacre will be buried and forgotten. I imagine some heavyweights will be flown to The Hague.

When it takes an outsider to remind you of your humanity then you know you are living in a failed state

Of late it has been somewhat of a trend for Nigerian Army personnel stationed in the NE to take to their Facebook page to post on their level of commitment to die fighting boko haram and the trending of such autistic posts obviously has been hijacked by the propaganda arm of the buhari govt. Which has made those post viral by strategically trending it all over Nigerian cyberspace.

I will remind each and every army personnel who deems it fit to go and die fighting boko haram, of the great speech given by General Patton of the US allied forces during world war 2. Patton suggested that "no poor bastard ever helped his fatherland by dying in a war. Rather it is that bastard who kills the other enemy bastard that ensures victory for his Homeland ".

Boko Haram has no problem dying in their lunatic Islamic quest. It thus boils down to you to dispatch them to their Islamic harem as efficiently and effectively possible.

The "dying for your fatherland" meme is being used by this evil apc govt to make every dead soldier in the war front a martyr similar to a dead boko jihadist while it ought to be seen as an embarrassment and testament to a great failure of those in charge of the war effort.

Do not let your lives become a propaganda meme at the disposal of lair mohammed.

When the news of this massacre first broke out, Femi Adesina - media spokesman to the buhari govt, described the incidence as a "military affair" that he wasn't authorised to comment on.

That should tell you the orders came directly straight from Aso Rock!

Reading some comments on this thread exposes the lack of intelligence and human empathy majority of Nigerian youth lack.


Some have argued that the NCOs that took part in the bloodbath on defenseless citizens which included women and children to be exonerated as, according to them, the NCOs were merely following orders from their superiors.

I will not engage in any moral argument why it is a crime for the army of a nation acting from orders at the top should engage in a bloody military clampdown of their own citizens out of sheer religious bigotry that they were commissioned to protect in the first place, rather I will remind you that since 1966, more NCOs have been condemned and executed by military court marshals for participating in an unsuccessful coup plot.

The Nigerian army has no qualms in executing NCOs, who were arrested for merely following the same orders of their commanding officers during a coup. So why should the same army shield NCOs who participated in an obviously criminal mission?

Another reason why I honestly feel the NCOs involved in the Zaria massacre must face justice is that as a regular conventional territorial force signatory to the tenets of the Geneva Convention, the training program of the regular intake course of the Nigerian Army is mandated by Nigeria's signatory of the same Geneva convention to ensure every personnel and officer to both familiarise and abide by the same convention. Ignorance is thus not an excuse.

From Russia attempting to hack the US election machines to Russia promoting "fake news" to sway the American voters, the Obama WH has settled with the narrative that Russia hacked DNC and Hilary's unsecured private server emails which the CIA wants us to believe where leaked to Wikileaks.

Ignoring the disturbing content of those hacked emails which exposed the DNC and Clinton neck deep in corruption, smear campaigns and disturbing pedophilic occultic rituals, Obama wants us to believe that Russian involvement on its own is a greater evil than the corruption unearthed from the leaks.

I will remind Obama that his administration has meddled and muddled the internal elections of more nations than Russia- Nigeria inclusive.

When MbS announced the formation of a council of 34 Muslim nations in mid-December to combat terrorism, he clearly had Iran in mind.

Mohammed bin Salman attends a summit of Arab and Latin American leaders in Riyadh AP
When Mohammed bin Salman was just 12 he began sitting in on meetings led by his father Salman, the then governor of Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Province. Some 17 years later, at 29 and already the world’s youngest defence minister, he plunged his country into a brutal war in Yemen with no end in sight. 

Now the kingdom of Saudi Arabia is jousting dangerously with its regional foe Iran, led by a man seemingly in a big hurry to become the Middle East’s most powerful leader.

Prince Mohammed was still in his early teens when he began trading in shares and property. And when he ran into a scrape or two, his father was able to take care of things. Unlike his older half-brothers, MbS, as he is known, did not go abroad to university, choosing to remain in Riyadh where he attended King Saud University, graduating in law. Associates considered him an earnest young man who neither smoked nor drank and had no interest in partying.

In 2011, his father became deputy Crown Prince and secured the prized Ministry of Defence, with its vast budget and lucrative weapons contracts. MbS, as a private adviser, ran the royal court with a decisive hand after his father was named Crown Prince in 2012. 

Every step of the way, Prince Mohammed has been with his father , who took his favoured son with him as he rose in the hierarchy of the House of Saud. Within the Saudi religious and business elite it was well understood that if you wanted to see the father you had to go through the son.

Critics claim he has amassed a vast fortune, but it is power, not money, that drives the prince. When Salman ascended the Saudi throne in January 2015, he was already ailing and relying heavily on his son. Aged 79, the King is reported to be suffering from dementia and able to concentrate for only a few hours in a day. As his father’s gatekeeper, MbS is the real power in the kingdom.


Expert discusses Saudi Arabia s power reshuffle
That power was dramatically increased in the first few months of Salman’s rule. Prince Mohammed was appointed Defence Minister; put in charge of Aramco, the national energy company; made the head of a powerful new body, the Council for Economic and Development Affairs with oversight over every ministry; and put in charge of the kingdom’s public investment fund. He was named deputy Crown Prince but ensured ascendancy over his rival Mohammed bin Nayef, the Crown Prince and Interior Minister, by absorbing the latter’s royal court into that of the King’s.

Impatient with bureaucracy, MbS has been quick to make his mark by demanding that ministries define and deliver key performance indicators on a monthly basis, unheard of in a sclerotic economic system defined by patronage, crony capitalism and corruption. His sudden early morning visits to ministries demanding to see the books is rapidly becoming the stuff of legend, startling sleepy Riyadh into action and capturing the admiration of young Saudis. “He is very popular with the youth. He works hard, he has a plan for economic reform and he is open to them. He understands them,” enthused one businessman.

That counts, because 70 per cent of the Saudi population is under 30 and youth unemployment is running high, with some estimates putting it at between 20 and 25 per cent.

But the same zeal with which he is pursuing economic reforms has also led Saudi Arabia into a messy war in neighbouring Yemen. Last March, he launched an aerial campaign against rebel Houthi forces that had run the Saudi-installed President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi out of the country. Decades of Saudi caution were thrown to the wind as MbS presided over Operation Decisive Storm. 


It must have seemed a very good idea at the time: the young, ambitious son of an aged king leading a war against a rebellion in a troubled southern neighbour. That the rebellion was supported by Iran made the adventure even more attractive. The Saudi military was bristling with new weapons – billions of dollars’ worth. MbS had a powerful older rival in the Interior Minister and wanted to prove his mettle both to his rival and his own supporters. The plan was to win a quick, decisive victory to confirm his stature as a military leader, placing him in the same league as his grandfather Ibn Saud, the great warrior king and founder of modern Saudi Arabia.

MbS ignored the fact that the Houthis were a useful buffer against the real threat to the House of Saud, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). He seemed, too, to have overlooked that the tenacious Houthis had embarrassed the Saudis in a border war just a few years previously. That was in 2009, when they seized the Saudi Red Sea port of Jizan and left only after a substantial payment of some $70m (£48m). 

Thus far Operation Decisive Storm has proved anything but. The war has dragged on for close to a year, causing infinite misery to the people of Yemen. In intense aerial bombardments, much of the country’s infrastructure has been destroyed while the Houthis remain defiantly in control of the capital Sanaa and most of the north. In the south, AQAP has had an open field. Undeterred, MbS has vowed to carry on, determined to bomb the Houthis to the negotiating table.

“He is quite belligerent,” says Jason Tuvey, a Middle East economist at Capital Economics. But Tuvey, like many other analysts, has been impressed by Prince Mohammed’s grasp of the often maddeningly complex problems that bedevil the kingdom’s economy. “On the economic front he has done very well. He has shifted policy and he should be commended for that,” Tuvey says.

Where the good in his impetuous nature may come undone is over the growing struggle with Iran for regional hegemony. When MbS announced the formation of a council of 34 Muslim nations in mid-December to combat terrorism, he clearly had Iran in mind. The Iranians have strongly backed the beleaguered Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, both directly and through Hezbollah, a militia trained and armed over the years by Iran. The Saudis are determined to see Assad defeated before any Syrian peace talks commence.

Now, with the Saudis executing the senior Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, a tit-for-tat battle is escalating. The Iranians allowed the sacking of the Saudi embassy in Tehran, and the Saudis together with other Gulf Co-operation council (GCC) states withdrew their ambassadors in retaliation. The apparent bombing of the Iranian embassy in Sanaa has further ratcheted up tensions.

In a widely circulated letter last summer, enemies within the ruling family decried the arrogance of the young prince, even going so far as to call for his ousting along with his father and Mohammed bin Nayef. But those calls have led nowhere and MbS continues to ride a crest of popular support in Saudi Arabia. The question remains, though, how far his impetuous nature will take him in the conflict with Iran.

It is not outside the realm of possibility that this brilliant, brash young man casting himself in his grandfather’s mould as a Sunni warrior may be weighing up the options, may be thinking of a military strike against Shia Iran – a frightening thought in a region already riven by sectarian war.

The UK govt recently called on the Nigerian govt to arrest and prosecute army officers and personnel involved in the bloody Zaria massacre of Shias.

Some have argued that the NCOs that took part in the bloodbath on defenseless citizens which included women and children to be exonerated as, according to them, the NCOs were merely following orders from their superiors.

I will not engage in any moral argument why it is a crime for the army of a nation acting from orders at the top should engage in a bloody military clampdown of their own citizens out of sheer religious bigotry that they were commissioned to protect in the first place, rather I will remind you that since 1966, more NCOs have been condemned and executed by military court marshals for participating in an unsuccessful coup plot.

The Nigerian army has no qualms in executing NCOs, who were arrested for merely following the same orders of their commanding officers during a coup. So why should the same army shield NCOs who participated in an obviously criminal mission?

Another reason why I honestly feel the NCOs involved in the Zaria massacre must face justice is that as a regular conventional territorial force signatory to the tenets of the Geneva Convention, the training program of the regular intake course of the Nigerian Army is mandated by Nigeria's signatory of the same Geneva convention to ensure every personnel and officer to both familiarise and abide by the same convention. Ignorance is thus not an excuse.
