The Nigerian polithiefcians here are demons in human form. America, despite having democrats, is better than Nigeria and their system works great compared to Nigeria.

That is true, their system is atleast far better than ours compared to the fact that votes count and you have a lot of career politicians, something we still do not have here in Nigeria.

But there is one particular aspect a lot of people simply do not consider when discussing American politics; the Electoral process. The US electoral system is so fundamentally flawed as such that it rubbishes the cardinal norm of the term '' democracy ". The truth is the United States is not a" true democracy" in the real sense of the term. The fact that a presidential candidate can win the popular vote and still lose the elections shows how undemocratic the system is. Notwithstanding whatsoever excuses they might put up to support it, the US electoral college system is the most devissive of all electoral systems in the world. It is a sham of unprecedented proportion, a system that breeds and entrenched inequality, segregation and class-based voting.

It is laughable when people describe the US as a democracy. The electoral College system effectively destroy that tag. The fact that the US is the only developed (and perhaps the only one) Country practicing this wantom aberration further bespoke the unpopularity and illegitimacy of the system.

In the real sense, democracy per elections in America is a sham.

Applyeard, you're simply too much! Kudos for this analysis!

We can only state the obvious, and the obvious is that just as Turkey shot an air-to-air missiles against his interest in Syria, grounding his airforce for more than 3 months, the same way Israel has just limited his options in Syria with the IL-20 downing.

Without taking sides, insult throwers are weak people with low intelligence. If they weren't, they would state their points intelligently and argue their position wisely, and even if the person they were responding to did not get it, they would understand that there are many more people reading what they have written who might have gotten it.

Insult throwers pander to their fellow insulters, an ignorant immature lot who argue their points sentimentality and get offended when their often silly position is not adopted. The wise and more mature would not stoop down into the muck with them, but would intelligently allow the insulter to bath in muck alone.

If one does not jump into the muck with insulters and stink like them, the insulter is more likely to notice they themselves are covered in stinky muck, and on seeing your unmucked person, detest their own muckiness sometimes, as happened to a person who recently decided insulting buda was the best way to put their point across. (I am still considering his case, but would appreciate if you like his apology to encourage him to behave unmuckily in the future please.)

As Americans would say, "be the change you want to see", if you can, I beg you all please. Those of us who come here have a lot to gain by being here but our gain is significantly reduced if we cannot see through the muck.

Well said...

Democrats are cruel, selfish and hypocritical. They are full of double standards.

They remind me of the Godforsaken polithiefcians we have here in Nigeria. It's so pathetic how they are behaving these days since the general election loss.

Did you read what I said at all? I said teen parties in the 80s were wild. Boys get drunk and do all sorts of things with girls. Even the girls were not innocent.

I said pinning girls to a wall and kissing her or even grabbing some sensitive parts were not considered sexual assault then. It was all a game then, girls play hard to get and guys try to show machoness. Except the girls were raped they didn't make any issue of out it.

Lots of popular teenage movies then showed wild teenage parties featuring drinks, drugs and what will be considered today as sexual assault. Popular groups such as 2 live crew sang lyrics that would be considered as promoting sexual assault of women then.

Attitude towards sex and even unwanted touching of women only started to change in the 2010s.

It was only recently that any unpermitted touching of any part of a woman is considered sexual assault. Now you can be accused of raping your wife.

I am certain that even Dr. Ford did not see it as a big deal then, as I am sure she too must have drank some alcohol and attended a few wild parties where guys "sexually assaulted" her. She did not mention it for years. I am sure she is bringing it up now probably because of promptings from Democrats to scuttle Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation. She did not bring up the case all these years as Kavanaugh climbed up the judicial ladder.

I remember a few wild parties my friends and I organized then.

You are simply repeating the same lines all over. Does the fact that so many movies in the 80 saw teens participating in some few wild parties indicates that everyone participated? No. And for the fact that some of those that participated pinned girls to the walls and kissed, does it mean all of them did the same thing? Your logic doesn't hold water, friend. Anyway, the man is on his way to confirmation now, cementing a Trump's promise to get a conservative to the Supreme Court. Well, he just did it. Even CNN couldn't help but admire his success. Trump may not be the best but he is certainly winning.

Righteousness89:
For the First time since Pre America Elections, CNN has come out to say the Fact about TRUMP!!

Hallelujah oooo


I watched the Live proceedings of Judge K yesterday...

Despite all the Schemeings of the demon rats it was 51-49 for Judge K.

Hopefully by GOD'S Grace ... Judge K will be Confirmed...

The USA is Having the Best of Times Ever..
They have a Realistic President not a speech giving president..

They Have a President who is taking Them back to the USA if the Founding Fathers. The USA that has its Foundation on THE GOD OF Abramham Isaac and Isreal..

That is the Secret of Donald Trunp/Pence Successes


O LORD we pray thee Give is a Donald Trump as President in Nigeria..

You just said it all. That coming from CNN was quite unbelievable. Anyway, the man has done good so far, and he deserves the accolades.

wirinet:
That's where the OBVIOUS lie is. I grew up in the 80s so I know it's impossible to party and get drunk without "sexually assaulting" girls. The problem is the definitiion of sexual assault in 2010s is not the same as sexually assault in the 1980s. Pinning a girl to the wall at a drunken party was not termed sexually assault in the 80s. If you Look at all the teenage comedies we watched and enjoyed in the 80s, you will scream sexual abuse today. Go and watch all the national lampoon films.

Are you even listening to yourself? Is it mandatory that all people that got drunk at some points must be involved in sexual assaults? Does it ever occur to you that you can be drunk in a place where there are no ladies? Your excuses of being drunk in the 80s lack substance and just don't hold water in reality. You can be drunk without touching or insurting a woman, just the same way someone can be high on drugs and still tell someone else he is not fit to drive.

An FBI investigation that the accusers and key witnesses were not questioned? What kind of investigation is that?
At the rate trump and his white supremacist, misogynistic and nationalistic supporters are going, the US might be pushed into a second civil war. The difference being that this time, lots of blacks would fight on the side of the confederates (slave owners).

Interesting. Isn't the FBI part of the same intelligence agencies you want Trump to believe and accept their verdicts without reservations? Now that he gave them all to do their work, and they have done it, you suddenly feel they didn't do their work well. You guys are a whole lot of funny bunch.

By the way, what make you think the FBI didn't do their work well pertaining to the investigation? You expect them to line all the said witnesses and the accusers herself in front of cameras and start asking questions like testifying before a senate committee? Had it been that the white house fought the investigation, you dems would have gone ballistic shouting "he has something to hide". But now that the house did the needful and the FBI finds nothing incriminating against Kavanaugh, you guys have turned around to say the investigation didn't go well. What shall I do to appease thy lost oh democrats...

Contrary to what you believe, there would be no second civil war in America. If there is to be any war, it's going to be between the people and the elites.

So we still have slave owners?

wirinet:
Now tell me why Trump is afraid to criticise putin? He had criticised every other foreign leader in the world but he can never open his mouth or his tweet to say anything against putin.

Why does he believe putin over all his intelligent organisations? He seems ready to sacrifice the US interests for putin 's interests.

Flimsy excuses, but allow me to tell you.

1. Trump knew deep down that left for Putin and Russia, America will enjoy good relations with one of the world's mightiest nations. But for the establishment who needs Russia to be a perpetual enemy because "it is good for business, " Russia and his leadership will always be the "evil axis".
Trump isn't a fool... He understand realpolitiks.

2. Why should he believe all of his intelligence forces who are nothing but puppets controlled by the deep state? Isn't it the same intelligence forces that galvanized the whole of America to go to war against Iraq on the back of lies about weapons of mass destruction? Or are you talking about the same intelligence agencies that lied about 9/11 and classified a lot of pages on the final investigation findings? it's only a sheep that would swallow everything US intelligence lying machine throws at them.

Besides, why should Trump criticize Putin? On what grounds? For the elections that he won or for what?

okeyglm:
the same toy, isreal have been playing since in Greece. I'm just observing

And so what? If Israel has a found a very cheap way around the system, why were they still lobbying Moscow to not deliver the system to Syria for more than 5 years? Come to think of it: we are not talking about 1 or two S-300 units here, but a whooping 49 units. Even the best of Israel's EW system will have a hell of a trouble jamming such extensive units of air defense platforms.

The fact that is, what Israel need now is a political solution to the problem. They just have to reestablished cordial ties with Russia, otherwise, going gaga against Russian forces in Syria would only worsen the problem and further limit, if not, totally eradicate their opportunities to check Iran excesses in the region.

At this point, I feel sorry for the Dumbocrats who can't take a defeat. It's going to be a bloodbath come November 6, and I can see some of the stains here already.

Pathetic sore losers.

pacino26:
I shared your point of view on a similar thread. It is a dicy one for the Isreali Airforce. You can't tell if it's a Russian or Syrian manned S300 that took you out of the sky

But wait o, thought they(Israel) promised to blow up the systems on delivery. What happened na

Blow up the system on arrival? Talk is cheap. It's over one week now, and suddenly it's all quiet in the Syrian Frontlines. What we are seeing here is a repeat of the Yugoslavia/ NATO war.

When NATO was about bombing Yugoslavia, the Yugoslavia military requested the S-300 from Russia, but the Kremlin decline the offer because they don't want to be politically involved in the matter. But the Yugo forces were witty, and you know what they did next? Well, they sent some of their army uniforms to a unit of Russian missile forces who took the uniforms, put them on and with them snapped some photos of themselves manning some units of the S-300. After that, they sent the photos back to the Yugo forces who in turn took them and intentionally positioned them for NATO to see. Of course, NATO intelligence saw the photos and guess what happened..
.
The bombardment was delayed for a whole TWO WEEKS. . Call it ingenuity.

This is exactly what is happening now to IDF in Syria following the deployment of the S-300. In fact, the way the entire thing happened so quickly has got some people talking that Moscow might just have played the west by creating a false flag with the IL 20 plane, so they can have the excuse to create an air bubble over Syria.

Don't forget that we are talking about Russia--the grandmasters of chess and the god of geopolitics. Those crewmen could easily have parachuted out of the plane and what we have is an empty S-200 targeted IL-20. It's very possible. But again, I might be wrong.

However, one thing is now certain, and even the west knows it, although no one is admitting it: it is that Russia is effectively creating a de facto no fly zone over Syria, considering that the units supplied to Syria are being linked to Russian systems in Syria and to Russian radars mounted on ships across the sea. So even if IDF. Manage to get past one or more of the units, other radar systems would easily pick them up and relay their positions back to other units for a lock-in, shoot and destroy. Ask Israel what Soviet supplied SAMS did to its airforces in the 74 Egyptian war. They lost so many planes and a lot of casualties recorded.

For those armchair kid generals on Nairaland who believe in stealth and glide bombs to take out the S-300, hear this: Russian operates a layered air defense system, which include long, short and medium range SAMS all protecting one another, so the S-300 won't be operating alone. You have Pantsir S1 and S2, Tor M1, BUKs, SOE, etc, protecting the system. The Pantsir the IDF killed last time was sitting idle without weapons, and was not even under command to fire anything against Israel, and that's why Israel apologized after the incident. But this time around, Moscow ears are closed to any apology, and from all indication so far, they are ready to go haywire over the IL-20,and the west got the message very clear.

The only way round these systems now for IDF is to attack the Russian sea vessels which is primarily the heart of Russia's radar and EW power base as far as Syria is concerned.

But you and I already know what the answer to that option looks like.

Like Seunny4lif just mentioned, Holiday has come to the airwaves of Syria, and who else did it, the RUSSIAN BEAR!

seunny4lif:

Syria Defense minister said Israel will not back down but will start using F35 for operation.
That’s the greatness news ever
World most expensive F35 junk against Russia made S300
US state department still don’t believe S300 has landed in Syria.
Business is about be beginning in Syria.
F35 got shoot down will make Russia weapons sales skyrocket but S300 get destroy and US F35 will see new consumers.

The chances of the S-300 getting Destroyed by F-35 is very slim. Don't forget that the new Syrian system would by sync with the Russian systems in Syria, including the S-400 and their formidable EW systems.

Assuming the F-35 manage to avoid the Syrian systems, the Russian S-400 will still spot it and relay its position to the Syria air forcez who only need to just fire their missiles in that direction. Do not forget that the S-400 is designed to defend against stealth.

seunny4lif:
In other news
Israel Def min said Israel will deploy F35

Lockheed Martin's will be shitting in their pants right now at the mentioned of the F35. The disgrace would be epic.

scully95:
This is not a joking matter oh. Now the war of words have begun. So far Israel has not attacked Syria since the downing of the Russian EW plane.

Here is an update from the war of words.

ISRAEL WON'T STOP OPS IN SYRIA DESPITE S-300 DELIVERY - DEFENSE MINISTER


On Tuesday, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu stated that Moscow had delivered 49 units of S-300 surface-to-air missile systems to Syria in order to enhance the security of Russian servicemen in the country.

https://cdn4.img.sputniknews.com/images/105471/74/1054717445.jpg
Speaking on Wednesday, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that Tel Aviv wasn't "happy" about the S-300sdeliveries to Syria, but it could not give up on its military operations in the war-ravaged country.

"I cannot say that we are happy about the deployment of the S-300s. At the same tome, we have no choice here. We have no opportunity to make decisions [on military operations in Syria]," he said.


The minister further stated that it was important for Russia and Israel to restore normal ties despite their disagreements over the downing of the Il-20 reconnaissance plane.

“I think the most important thing for us today is…to return the working relationship to normal. It is today the most important task — to return to normal operation, coordination, to more actively use the 'hot line' to prevent conflict situations. We need to work,” said Lieberman.

Lieberman once again reiterated that Israel blamed Syria for the Il-20 crash, thus dismissing Moscow's version that Israeli F-16 jets had used the Russian aircarft as a shield against Syrian air defenses.

“I repeat, the entire responsibility lies with Assad's army… Over the past two years Israel has conducted more than 200 strikes against Iranian facilities and Hezbollah targets in Syria. Two hundred times, and not a single Russian soldier received a single scratch. Suddenly, here we allegedly arranged such a 'setup'. It is illogical. In addition, you need to understand that the speed of the F-16 is two and a half times the speed of the Il-20… and at the time when the Syrian air defenses opened fire, Israeli planes were already in our airspace," the minister said.


He elaborated that the Russian side did not accept the "facts that we have provided them with," and was insisting on Moscow's version of events..

“We are engaged in a very civilized, adequate dialogue, despite the seriousness of the situation, despite the tragic incident. I want to emphasize that in the statement of the President of Russia, this was precisely the way it was defined — a chain of tragic events, therefore, it is necessary to treat and understand it this way, that for both Israel and Russia it is much more advisable… to have a positive dialogue, work together, rather than engage in public showdowns,” the minister added.

Earlier this week, Russian Defense Ministet Sergei Shoigu said that Russia had finalized the delivery of 49 units of S-300s to Syria.

On September 24, Shoigu announced that Moscow would take certain measures to boost the security of its troops in Syria, including deliveries of the advanced S-300 systems in the aftermath of the crash of Russia's Il-20 military aircraft.

The Russian military has blamed the downing on the Israeli Air Force, stressing that an Israeli fighter jet had used the Il-20 as a shield against Syrian air defenses.

49 units is a whole lot of force to deal with. In fact, the skyline over Syria now is practically like Kalinigrad to Russia. They can now see who comes, from where, and who leaves. This is a game changer.

Zoharariel:
This comment below was posted in the saker's vineyard by one of the military analysts and I think you should be able to learn 1 or 2 things from Putin's masterclass & ingenuity.

Russias response was more than I had anticipated or hoped for, even. I thought they would put down the hammer and issue a stern warning to Israel that THEIR Anti-Air installations, which are much more advanced and superior in every single way to the ones used by the SAA, will now target the Israeli planes as soon as they take off and shoot them out of the sky if they come within a certain distance of Russian planes.

But, this response is much, much better than that. First of all, it does not require Russia to issue threats like the loons in Washington always do at the risk of them backfiring, should Israel not respect the newly formed boundaries and Russia not enforcing a punishment. Second, it gives the control of the S300s to Syria and thus, the responsibility and more importantly, no shackles attached. Not to mention that Russia is limited in location, the SAA controls the vast majority of Syria, so these S300s could be anywhere.

The US, UK, France and all the rest of the terrorist rogue states know Russia would never, ever shoot down one of their jets, but the Syrians aren’t so reserved. By giving the S300s to Syria, it’s not just the Israelis who have been grounded, but all the rest of the terrorist air forces as well.

As dumb and incompetent as they are, they all know the F35 is a pile of junk, so these flying trash cans can’t fly either, not just because of the mountain of technical problems, but they can’t risk an F35 being so much as shot at by a Syrian S300, which should not be able to see the damn thing in the first place, if one is then shot down, it would just be the cherry on top of the gigantic turd of a PR disaster, which would sink the entire program and the sales along with it. Who’d want to buy an overly expensive garbage which can be shot down by outdated, cheap as hell (at least, much, much cheaper than the plane itself or modern SAM’s) tech?

The F22s are much too valuable to risk them being shot down, not only are they the most advanced jets they have, but they are few and much too expensive to replace, which is now impossible, since they shut down the program without having a decent plane to replace it with. The older models are akin to lambs ripe for slaughter to an S300.

Long story short, the Russians have just established what is effectively a no fly zone without doing it themselves, ever publicly declaring it a no fly zone or ever even speaking of such a thing as a no fly zone, but still, everyone involved got the message and nobody can complain that Russias ally finally got something they have requested years ago, they are completely justified in supplying the S300 to Syria.

Simply brilliant.

For those of you ignoramuses here on Nairaland expecting Israel to fly her F-35 coffins into the Syrian Airspace, I am sorry, I have bad news for you.

Lockheed Martin (The manufacturer of those flying coffins) will go out of business if any of the F-35 variants are shot down by the S-300s - because they are never meant to be seen or detected by any radar - according to the Amerikan bastards but Mother Russia maintains that - with S300 & S400, there's nothing like stealth.

All the Countries (Australia, Denmark, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Turkey & UK) that are already operating the F-35 will just start selling them as scrap metals to us in Afrika.

Finally, I trust Israel to comport herself & swallow her wounded pride - henceforth!

Most folks down here simply do not understand how things work out in the real world of power and corporate interest. Right now, Netanyahu may need an ear doctor by himside because the calla that would be coming in would totally be by the dozens.

HORRORIZON:
Bla, Bla, Bla... On the contrary, this is the most stupid and or self preserving move the Russians could have taken. They've just gave the Allies a green light to destroy all of those sites. They will send out drones to draw the fire of the sites, track them down and blow them to pieces. This was definitely a move by the Russians to show that they are getting tired of risking there necks for the incompetent Syrian military in which keeps on bleeping up.

This shows you don't understand what is at play here. Who are the allies that would '' destroy'' systems manned by Russian forces? Do you know how many drones the Russians have destroyed since the war began? No western nation would dare attack Russians directly unless they are eager for WW3 with a nuclear exchange.

And contrary to your warp belief, this is the best move ever by the Kremlin since joining the war in Syria. Israel just limited their options in Syria by 70 percent.

seunny4lif:

If F35 get shoot down by S300 then that’s the end of the end of the program

As simple as that. It's game over for IDF' free Visa into the Syrian sky. I believe secret negotiations will do the rest from now on. Trump Whitehouse would probably called Moscow to put more pressure on Iran not to have a permanent foot in Syria, and I think that is the reason why the Russian deputy minister paid a surprise visit to Tehran a fortnight ago. They we try as much as possible to use same Russia to give Israel some level of assurance that Iran won't move closer to Israel so they can prevent Israel from further acting recklessly, which will not only lead to further crisis but also expose the F-35 to the alter of public disgrace. As for Russia, it would be eager to play on considering that the Kremlin understands and is in someway sympathetic to the cause of Israel per the Iranian threat. Hence, it has always looked the other way when Israel bombs targets in Syria. However, the loss of 15 crew men owing to IDF's nonchalant attitude is just too much a publicity backlash that Moscow cannot overlook, and even some of Netanyahu's inner cabinet understands it too. They know they fuvked up to have given Russia just 1minute notice this time around, even Washington doesn't do that because of the possibility of issues like this. So, Israel will definitely be looking for ways to rectify this wrong amidst pressure from Washington as well. We are witnessing a great game of chess and geopolitical interest at play here, and is one dictated by states and non states actors as well.

So, just as Turkey did the other time, I will not be surprised to see Mossad capturing al bagdadi and handling him to Russia as compensation for this recklessness . Politics is a dirty game..

.....

seunny4lif:
S300 just landed in Syria
49 pieces of hardwares
Syrians will be train to operate them but the sweet story is S300 in the hand of Hezbollah
Israel night

I want to see F35 go one with F35.
Russia can’t shoot down NATO jets and Israel but Syria can do it.
I want to see the overrated F22 self.
Germany has withdrawn her jets from flying over Syria and Iraq when they said S300 will be handed over to Syria governments

Let them be. Most of what we have here are kids who knows little to nothing. One even said that Israel is far more advanced than Russia and America in technology, lol. These guys are jokers. As much as I'm a Christian, it will never make me support pure fallacy and sheer evil when I see one. The entrance of the S-300 will not change the status quo completely, but the options are greatly limited now. In fact, Israel has very little to lose here compare to what could befall Lockheed Martins, the Pentagon and those nations buying the useless junk and boondoggle of the century called F-35. In fact, I can see Trump doing press up already, awaiting the slightest opportunity to pull the plug on the program. He never did like it. Last time, they claim it was a bird that render the plane unserviceable, despite the fact that the plane passed the bird certification test 100 percent. The last thing they need now is for an F-35 to get disgraced by a middle of the table Russian SAM . The publicity and the effect would be catastrophic. There must be lots of pressures and secret meetings going on now as we speak.

HORRORIZON:
LOl. So you believe that Russia is reckless, or senseless enough to attack one of those nation's planes? I'm more than certain that Putin is not willing to risk inhalation in the defense of useless Syria. The most they can and will do is complain as they have been doing for decades. The Russian and Syrian missile systems are not as good as you believe them to be, and are easy to deceive. If an allies' plane is ever hit, all of the missile sites will be terminated within in the day of the event.. that is a fact. The allies will play Russia's little game as long as they play nice; the day they go too far will be the day their presence in the ME will be ended and Assad will be eliminated. That is fact. I totally understand your hatred for the Western powers, and your need to believe that there is a force out there that can match them and make them seem to be not so overbearing, but the fact of the matter is that if Russia or china, Iran or any other nation ever directly challenged them militarily the retaliation will be quick, savage and and last decades. That is also fact.

Fanfare fantasy.

Russian weapons are made to work, and work they do, especially when they are missiles. The best of your so-called western superpowers can't even go to space without Russian rocket engines. If there is one thing the Russians are known for, and are decades ahead of the rest in the world, is their rocket technology. It is laughable that armchair generals here on Nairaland are quick to dismissed Russian Air defense systems, but your president, Benjamin Netanyahu has been lobbying Russia not to give the same weapon--the S-300 to Syria, for more than 5 years. Maybe you guys know better than MOSSAD and Netanyahu. .

India just gave the green light to purchase the S-400,China has it already, Turkey, a NATO (Nationalized American Terrorist Organization) member wants it by every means, and long-time American ally, Satan Arabia is cueing up for it. Even small UAE wants it also. Do you know one thing that these nations have in common in their pursuit of Russian weapons? I will tell you: REALITY! They and their intelligence agencies knew quite well that Russian made rockets have a history of effectiveness and reliability. So let that sink in.

Now that the S-300 has been delivered to Syria, the immediate problem is even more confrontational to Washington than it appears for Tel Aviv. Yes, the S-300 will keep all of Israel's territory in view, including allowing Syrian aerospace forces to know when a plane is leaving the runway in Israel and where it is in the sky. All of these drastically limits IDF's ability to carry out a surprise attack in the region. This is one thing that Israeli war planners were trying to avoid for more than five years, and is the sole reason why Netanyahu has traveled the Moscow route to and fro so many times like Satan looking for Job. But now that their worst fear has come to play, there is only two options left for the IDF,and this is where it becomes a major source of DEEP concern for the warplannners and the Establishment in Washington. here we go :

1. Since Moscow has been vexed by the IDF, their free air forrays into Syrian sky is practically over, as every venture will now carry a huge risk of losing pilots and planes in numbers, considering that the S-300 can lock on 4 targets simultaneously. So to avoid this, the SDF will have to use one of the options here: a Saturated missile attack against the S-300 locations in Syria, but this option actually carries the greater risk in the sense that Russia has already preempted this move and stated categorically that the platforms will not only be sync to the Russian system in Haimemim and Latakia, but would also be manned by active Russia forces. Now, a Knowledgeable thinking fellow already know what that means. If Russian forces are managing the system, you can't shoot directly at it. Even the US is not that reckless, and if Israel does that, which I doubt, most of the incoming missiles would be shot down but is most likely that few will scale through. And if they do, there would be casualties (Russian casualties) and immediately, the reply would be swift and decisive. And I can bet my two cents on it: America, France or Britain would never want to go to a shooting match with Russia that would Probably involve nuclear weapons because of a reckless IDF. But that again, would leave a sour taste on US foreign policy as it relate to defending Israel. This is why some buttocks are already shifting uneasily from seat to seat in Washington, as we speak. You need to hear what fillers from the Whitehouse is already saying about this new predicament. Considering this underlying situation, this option is practically a no-attempt for Israel because attacking Russian forces will mean a declaration of war against Russia, and one which America would never allow for the time being due to the consequences that would follow.

This now leave Israel with a second option

2. The use of stealth planes to attack its target in Syria.

Now, this is the best option left for the IDF in Syria, as far as Iranian targets are concerned. However, this too is a major challenge from Washington perspective as well. Since the S-300 can see planes leaving their runways in Israel, the F-35 is further exposed to possible disgrace in Syria. It is only fools that believe that stealth means invisibility, but not to Russian air defense systems. In fact, stealth technology was known to the Russians decades before the west came to know about it. The reason why the Soviet (and present day Russia) never prioritize stealth was the fact that it is only effective against third world nations like Afghanistan and and Co. Many people don't even know that the reason why Turkey is hell bent on buying the S-400 is the fact that the system has been "painting" all US planes in Syria since the war began with the Russian intervention, and this planes include the F-22 raptors. Even the US complained openly that all their planes are being painted in Syria by Russian equipments.

Now, imagine what would happen to Lockheed Martin, Pentagon and the nations involved in the production and buying of the F-35 if it gets destroyed by the S-300 fired by Syrian forces. The publicity would be a major blow to everyone involved in the planes construction. In fact, the market for the plane would die immediately, and countries like Canada who have pulled out from the deal claiming the plane doesn't work would be justified while Lockheed Martins and the corrupt Pentagon would become the laughing stock on major news headlines. As for the Russian weapon market, it would certainly see an increase in demand. Now you can understand why this latest development is a major headache for few but powerful heads in washithan more than you have in Tel Aviv.

Could this be the reason why American is suddenly restrategising its interest in Syria--from Assad must go to saying Iran is now the "new focus"?

Time alone will tell. But one thing is certain now: Israel options are now limited. That is a fact.

Each passing day in Syria takes us closer to the fulfillment of Alois Irlmair's prophecy on WW3: "big naval ships we do battle against each other in the Med, but the real spark will come from the Balkans".

Now that Hungary is working to ease sanctions with Russia, something ominous might be hanging in the Eastern sky. The Balkan and the Med is the place to watch, folks.

With Oil prices surging upwards, the financial muscle of the bear is growing again steadily, and that is why it boasted that if the Trump Administration put sanctions on Nordstrom 2, Moscow alone will single handedly finance the operation. It is becoming clearer that there is very little America can do to stop or delay further the reawakening of the Russian bear. So the last resort might be a spate of high-profile assassination of eminent political figures, which will usher in the war.

It is no wonder that Russia has reinstalled its "God of war" artillery fire weapons that are capable of firing nukes and conventional ballistic missiles. Even the US can't explain why Russia has decided to bring them back. Perhaps, this is among the reasons they suddenly made a U-turn on the Open Sky treaty that the Trump's administration withdrew from. The threat of war and the possibility of a confrontation among opposite forces in Syria is at all time high.

As touching the delivery of the S-300 to Syria, one can say Russia has saw and made use of a perfect excuse to equip Syria with the platform. This is one area in which Israel failed to calculate perfectly. Of course, if Syria were to use the system all by itself, it is possible the IDF military planners would have looked for a clever way to beat the platform (although that too would have been very difficult considering that the S-300 put the entire airspace of Israel in range), but since the system will be sync with Russian air defense systems in Syria, the headaches for Netanyahu has just multiplied by tenfold. Going by this development, IDF free forries into Syria territory previously unheeded has probably come to a close. The only thing they can now rely on is the so-called F-35 stealth multipopose fighter. But how that would fair well against the most sophisticated air defense system in the region remains to be seen.

Folks, more is coming on the Syrian territory and with each passing day, we draw closer to midnight.

Yeah. The sky over there is too crowded. Israel's obsession with with Hezbolla isn't helping matters at all. With this kind of incidents, it shows how dangerous the Syrian crisis could easily turn on its head.

Wow. What a great way to go the way of crypto and ditching the petrol dollar. Even some experts in Russia are also considering this, and even proposing it to the government. I think poorer nations like Nigeria and other African countries should do the same.

Crypto is one sure way of overcoming inflation and deflation at the same time. The rate at which it is going in success, some governments will soon fade out.

If Venezuela succeed with that move, it would portends a serious threat to the petrol dollars, as the likes of Iran would simply follow suit.

Can somebody enlighten me on the difference between domain hosting and domain registration? I'm at a loss here. I bought a new domain name with zillionking. Come but I don't know what else to do to get my website running. They later sent me mail that I need to register the site before it can work. How do I go a bout it, as I'm new to this things.
