Yeah.. Russia helped Trump to win yet he lost the popular vote by 2million plus. American liberal democrazy and the Russian mantra will pass well-for a circus.
LordReed: Benghazi investigations of 5 years yielded not even 1 indictment but Mueller's investigation has indicted several people but no its a witch hunt. Ask Roy Moore if Trump helped him win a seat that was firmly in Republican hands, ask Rick Saccone if Trump helped him win a seat in a district that Trump won by 20pts. If you think Trump is or has some kind of magic wand for winning you are living in lalaland.
What is indictment per say? Does it define guilt? Think about that. Does the fact that Russia was indicteed for interfering in the US election mean she was guilty as charged or that Trump was guilty as well? How in hell did Russia interfere in the election and helped Trump to win when actually he overwhelmingly lost the popular vote by over 2million votes but got elected by the EC? Why can't America stop blaming Russia for everything?
So, it was Russia that also influenced the 2002 prophecy of the Simpsons about Trump being the US President? I see that Russia has been wired into the national psyche of America to blame Russia for everything.
Mueller's investigation could have indicted anybody, even,the whole world, cause they were fishing on a wide sea without boundaries. That's the sole reason the investigation is going back and forth. It's simple. Like Benghazi, they lack evidence.
That's the fact.
As for Trump, he has no magic wand for winning, and he is not even my ideal president. But any man who is elected by a predeterminate council that's beyond our intelligence is worth his place in history, and is only a novice with warp delusion that will choose to fight what you can't see.
Trump's ascension to the White House was foretold far before the election took place. Instead of looking for blame, consider the circumstances and the system that ushered him into the White House. There you will find your blame.
LordReed: No evidence of collusion but a Republican appointed a special counsel to investigate because you think they have time to waste pursuing a Democrat led conspiracy.
Now, that's the problems with liberals. If the Republicans had choose not to act, you would have said, they are partisan, putting their interests first before America. And now that they have acted and still could not find a single shred of evidence of coalition, you have concluded they acted because they are sure there is "evidence" of coalition. What now that they have found nothing?
LordReed: LoL you think this is some episode of 24 where investigations are concluded in 1hr? You are the one being unrealistic. How many years did the Benghazi investigation run?
In criminal proceedings, time doesnt run against the state, but the state can run out of time. The first tenure is gradually drawing to a close, with NO single shred of evidence of coalition. And by the time campaign bells start singing for the second coming, liberals would still be looking for evidence in a haystack while the rest of America moves on.
What a pathetic bunch of losers. The Establishment still can't believe that Trump won. Alas, he is the President.
After 18 months of investigation where is the evidence of collusion?
It's going to be 3, 4 years soon, and they will still be looking for evidence of coalition. They just can't live with the fact that Trump beat them square and fair through the most undemocratic system of election the developed world has ever seen.
LordReed: A Republican appointed by Republicans in a Republican dominated Congress and Executive government to investigate a Republican campaign is totally a witch hunt, tell me the other joke.
Yeah... And when that same body of Republicans turn up with over 150 pages of investigation and finds nothing incriminating it's good people like you that cries foul. Why can't liberals learn to live in reality?
We are still waiting for proof... Or how long will it take..? Just wondering.
LordReed: Yes indictments are obtained without evidence in your world, lol.
Of course, indictments that are obtained with witch hunting evidence like "highly likely" forms the bedrock of proof in your political world of democrazy.
Jkay187: I blame Nigeria for this because if it was a true regional giant this shiiit would have never happened. Botswana tried this same stunt like Ghana a few years ago when the US AFRICOM Command wanted to establish a base here down South, but SADC leaders especially SA and Angola refused to host a imperialist hive in SADC especially next to Angola and SA. We nipped that shiiit in thw butttt early enough. Angola at the time threatened to sever diplomatic ties with Botswana.
Very soon BH will be cruising with new TOW systems.
You are very correct. Another way to cause more chaos in the region. Nigeria failed big time, hence the mess that's happening now. Expect Boko Haram to grow from strength to strength once the Yankees anchors in the land of gold.
Some people are still interested in a fake coalition story that had turned out to be a media jibe feast. Up till now, no shred of evidence has materialized.
Lol First of all U.S.S.R is not Russian thing,the real Russian originates from the pre-U.S.S.R, Russian empire. U.S.S.R was more of Bolsheveik (Zionist forces) which hijack power in Russia to subjugate and supress the rest states. The same thing Zionist forces have been doing everywhere else. Now it's safe to say that Anglozionist empire = U.S.S.R.
Russia is known worldswide for building high valued product. Let me name 1. Ajaokuta Steel industry in Nigeria was built by the Russians. The same company has built else where arround the world and the two best Steel industry in Asia was built by the same Russian company known as Tyazhpromexport. Can you ever imagine a country's industrialization without a steel industry ?
Rosatom: A company that builds nuclear powered plants. Has built for a lot of countries in Europe. Do you also know that Russian president visited Yaradua during his time and they signed Rosatom deal, a deal to help solve Nigeria power problems.
But your warlords killed YAradua in Saudi, or he died mysteriously for crossing their redlines. Do you know that your western angozionist wardlords have sabotaged Ajaokuta steel industry for 40 straight years ? My findings show that ok. What is even interesting is theat Ajaokuta steel deal involves transfer of technology to the Nigerian Economy. A very good deal but being sabotaged, a total act of war. I bet you are completely brainwashed or probably dont know anything.

You just keep spilling rubbish. "Economic wise", the only country in Europe that is doing good Economically is Germany then may be Netherlands. PIGS = Dead Economy. The rest are in huge mess. France for example is in huge mess. Portugal,Italy,Greese and spain. These Econmies were badly hit by 2008 pure Ponzi Pyramid Capitalist system which killed the idea of Capitalism. wCapitalism died in the year 2008 and everyone saw for themselves what a useless system Capitalism is. Wondering what will happen next ? Wait for it. Just think of it. Russia's Economy is bad and it has been backing Syrian campaign for how many years now ?
Russian Economy is bad and it's able to develop major techonological break through ? A cruise missile, capable of delivering payloads to anywhere in the world ? Please stop repeating that f00lish western media mantra.
Russian Economy may be strugling just like every other Economy but this does not affect major developments in Russia. Russia Economy is strugling and building massive bridge (The longest in Europe) to link up to crimean penisular ?
Top 3-4 tallest Buildings in Europe is in Russia and was recently built. Tallest was completed in December 7, 2017. Russia Economy is in mess narrative is pure rubbish ok.
seunny4lif: Allies you said? Remember Germany and USSR with Italy were allies before WW2 but what happened later. This time around will even be worst.
Isreal vs Most Arabs Iran vs SAUDI China vs Japan SK vs NK Russia vs USA Serbia vs Kosovo Turkey vs Kurds Poland vs Germany Germany vs France Anti-Immigrants uprising Nigeria vs Biafra Problem everywhere
heendrix: alaye if Putin has paid you to type all this shit better go return the money asap càuse you obviously have no idea what you talking about
Brother, stop sounding like the western zombified populace. So you don't know that once countries start packing diplomats, it's a recipe for foreseeable war? And we are talking thermonuclear warfare? Even rogue states like North Korea still have their diplomats intact in western states and in the US, despite the severe sanctions. You should no better.
partnerus: Dont forget no man is an island unto himself. The western Europe remains the largest buyer of the Russian oil which is the main stay of the Russian economy. Also there will be other stiffer sanctions underway from the western bloc and that will isolate Russia from the rest of the globe economically. This was envisaged by Putin himself in his inaugural speech after winning the election were he opined that Russia doesn't isolation but will seek diplomatic redress. That tells you that even Russia is weary of economic isolation.
No Country is immune to economic sanctions, but saying that Russia fears them is complete balddadash. This country has endured so much pain and hardship than most developed nations of the world can only imagine. The Russians would do anything to be at peace with everyone but if you think they would sacrifice nationalism on the alter of Pacification, you will have to think again.
Yes, Europe is the main stay of the Russian gas market, and so what? If they pull the plug on Russia gas, they would freeze overnight. They simply cannot do without Russia gas, and they do not have other tougher measures on their list. Britain is just trying to deflate attention from Brexit, but so far, it ain't working. Rather, it keep exposing their frustration.
[quote author=Skepticus post=66185452]You are funny, bro. No disrespect intended.
You kept mentioning riches and quoting wealth like the Russians surpass the US in wealth.
No time has the Russians ever outspend the US in wealth except the years 1950 - 1953. At the time, the Soviet Union never let out much information on the amount spent. Kremlinologists only arrived at it by estimating the amount it cost.
Money doesn't equate efficiency.
Russia in a space of 5 years, caught up with your higher -spending US and matched it in the Cold War Era defence and intelligence size.
That said, Russia (in its weakened, collapsed Soviet state) hasn't shown signs of backing down.
An experienced former KGB agent in Putin clearly outmatches your impulsive and naive Trump and an emotional bitch, Theresa.
To remind you again, they played minor/major role in influencing the elections of the strongest country on earth, the United States. That should tell you a lot if you have a thinking brain (no insult intended, please).
The west's sacking of russian diplomats is just a open bluff, one used to display weak bragaddocio to an "uninformed" world (I'm not surprised that a lot of you bought into it) The Russians are used to these (embargo and embassy shutdown). It has nothing to do with money or media influence.
The Russian has the end game as usual, broke or not.
Zoharariel: Wait! Is this how Russian soldiers & mercenaries speak their own english - using well known Amerikan spoken slangs (e.g fvck, fvcking shiit, fvck up) or was it translated into Amerikan english by the Pentagon?
This inflammatory propaganda from the Amerikan & NATO dummies of the MSM is an attempt to push Mother Russia into a hasty & direct confrontation with Israel and the United Snakes mopof Amerika - since the US Coalition of Terror has failed to take Damascus with proxy terrorists and the only hope for the US and Israel now is to create a situation where they are "Defending themselves" against Russian "aggression" and then launch an all out attack on Russian and Syrian bases. Plus of course, the "obligatory" mass murder of civilians by Israel & Amerika.
Israel has always successfully played the "victim" and the almighty US is now playing the same game - seeing that she can not match Russia's sophisticated & cutting-edge military hardwares - pathetic!
Look, Vladimirovich Putin will never fall into this trap and the Russian response - I trust, will be one that Amerika and Israel do not want & have not planned for.
Lastly, according to these western idiots & their minions on Nairaland, only ISIS had air support from the "United Snakes" while the Russian militias were in complete disarray without a radio to call for help.
I thought I was the only one that noticed that.. So Russian soldiers are now speaking American Street slangs like they speak in Chicago and New York. Zombification is truly a disease.
Even their western ministry of truths like BBSin and Clinton News Network didn't fall for this cheap propaganda. What a pathetic bunch we have here..
It is even more funny that Russian soldiers will go on an attacking mission without their usual heavy tanks, artillery and air support, but just rifles. Whomever fell for this crap need a touch from T. B Joshua.
Just one Russian division from Siberia turned the tides against NATO LED Ukrainians forces/mercenaries in 2015, beating them all the way to the borders of Odessa--not forgetting the Debaselvo cauldron--and now a more stronger and capable force in a foreign land surrounded by enemies would go on the attack with "just assault rifles," and some mendacious kids in grownup uniforms fell for it?
Is pathetic seeing the way some folks reason. They just can't think for themselves because they are too dependent on Hollywood and Western media covens of truth.
Any way, it was a nice try in attempting to sway opinion AMONG RUSSIANS in the wake of the elections. But Lord Putin is always one step ahead.
partnerus: From your assertion, its crystal clear you don't understand international politics and diplomacy. The UK is not in this all alone. Rather She is been backed by virtually all Her western allies. This spells doom for Russia economically, socially and politically. It will be suicidal for the Kremlin(Russia) to take tit for tat on this cause the resultant effect is better felt than imagined. Dont forget that Germany is amongst the highest consumers of the Russian Oil which is unarguably the mainstay of the Russian economy. No man is an island unto himself. I think this should explain better to you.
The Russians would take tit for tat action and nothing would happen. I repeat, nothing would happen. After the downing of the MH17 in Ukraine and the brouhaha that follows suit, the EU and US imposed sanctions on Russia. Russia retaliated in kind and till date, nothing happened.
So, the Russians will do that again and life we just go on. Nothing will happen. Russia is grandmaster of the geopolitical game.
bigpicture001: ...are u serious ma guy..? are u trying to say that the Russian space agency is better than NASA...that you went to space 1st don't mean ur d best, Russia was broke after the cold war..the US used the change to far advance their space mission.so.my guy think about it again
You forgot to mention that without Russia space rocket engines, NASA can't go to space. Now, who is boss here? Think about that.
Skepticus: And the US lost the Vietnam War to a rag tag Vietcong, couldn't totally knock out the Taliban and only know how to create political vacuums everywhere.
The Soviets stole the secret to the Nuclear weapons right under their noses.
The US is the most overrated of them all.
I tthought there are no sensible people on this thread. Lots of kids simply don't understand how geopolitics play out among the big boys. The AngloZionist empire of chaos will keep showing their frustration and folly for the rest of the world to see. The free license they have to destroy other states at will practically over for them with the re-emergence of Russia in the world stage.
soberdrunk: When you read stories like this you just want to drive to the nearest police station and hug all the Nigerian policemen on duty. How the hell do you shoot one person "20 times"?? Even if he was holding the switch to lauch a nuclear weapon!!! 20 times!!!!?? Haba!!!
20 times is just an indication of the deep and seething hatred they have for anything black. And when folks like us cries out about this satanic act of racism that hold sway in America, some idiotic Nigerians will lambaste you for daring to speak against America.
In a normal society, those police officers would be dismissed because emptying 20 bullets on the body of an unarmed colored man shows they have bias racial tendency of handling security matters. But being the America that will know, nothing will happen to them.
ollah2: Several MPs have retweeted claims that scientists at the British lab investigating the poisoning of ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter are actually struggling to identify the source of the nerve agent used.
Craig Murray, the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan turned blogger, wrote on his website that scientists at Porton Down, the center responsible for identifying the nerve agent allegedly used in the attack against the Skripals, have failed to find evidence of Russian “culpability.” He said a “well-placed” source in the Foreign Office told him.
Murray added scientists had been “resentful” over the pressure put on them to prove the military-grade nerve agent is of Russian manufacture. The blogger’s comments and concerns were retweeted by Labour MP Chris Williamson, a frequent guest on RT, and the Scottish National Party’s Douglas Chapman.
Quit listening to only BBC and CNN
Western mainstream media deceiving people since world War two.
saaron: And you think Russia will be so stupid to use an equipment that will be trace to them in an attack in a foreign country? Russians are no fools. Somebody somewhere is trying to frame Russia for attack they never commit.
Common sense. That is what you just showcased. Only zombies would believe what the Russo phobic UK is saying.
eTECTIVe: Prove? D nerve gas used is Russian (Novichok)... D whole furore isn't over d assassination attempt but d fact dat d nerve agent was used on British Soil .
And so what? Any high placed personnel or connected secret organization could have done that. It is like saying Russia is responsible for an AK47 found at a crime scene of murder, simply because the gun was produced by Russia.
You need to see the chaos Putin's revelations have started in the US and in the entire West. I have always told my friends at the other end of the divide that Russia has Rocket Tech DNA, and when it comes to that, the rest are just playing catch up.
I can't help but feel sorry for all those Canon folders called marines manning those huge floating sea coffins that will be vaporized before they even launch a single plane.
To know the gravity of the seriousness of what is on ground, check how SILENT President Trump has become. He must have been briefed and he knows Putin ain't bluffing, especially when he said: "If Russia or any of our allies are attacked, it would be nuclear response".
They Know Russia don't talk or bluff, they just ACT.
Now, a West that refused to listen before is suddenly listening. The Bear has awaken, and I can smell Alois Irlmaier's utterances in the constellations building up in Syria and in the Balkans.
Elpacino481: I think at this point the Syrians don't need to waste their Air defense missiles against the F-35, all they need to do is send flocks of birds towards it. Lol. Also he can ask CHINA, INDIA, QATAR why they are vetting for the S-400 triumph. and why America wants to impose Sanctions on allies who are trying to purchase such a system.
Most folks are simply brainwashed. Nigerians especially will play the religious cards and support Israel blindly, when they are so wrong on many fronts.
I sometimes wonder if history means anything to some folks down here. If a 30 year old Russian made SAM can downed a US stealth fighter in the Serbian war of 1999, I wonder what planes would become in the face of modern advanced SAMs.
The S-400 was made to defend against stealth, and some folks here don't even know it. That is one reason why Turkey wants it so bad. The Turkish military knew what was happening to the US planes operating from the Icirlick airbase. They knew that all US planes (including the F-22 raptor) were being "painted" over the Syrian sky by Russian SAMs. Even the DoD complained about it.
Now ask yourself, what else could track and identify the F22 raptor in Syria other than the S-400? Now you understand why Turkey wants it by all means. But some kids here on Nairaland think they know better than Turkey's military planners.
When you see a SAM made by Russia, know that that SAM is reliable because Russia is the king of rocket technology. Other nations are just playing catchup. Even the western world knows it, and that's why you see US allies jostling for Russian made SAM. BECAUSE THEY WORK.
For instance, Greece operate the S-300, and now Turkey and Saudi Arabia wants the S-400.
But western propaganda would want you to believe Russia has nothing. That's zombification for you.
abeeee: hehehehehe the same f-35 that was rendered unserviceable by a supposed bird collision... meanwhile it was the same s-200 that brought it down..........hehe my guy Western propaganda don finish you
Western propaganda is the worst form of zombification.
larryUG: That's what you people and arabs will always do. Imagine. The way the arabs imagined wiping out Israel in 1967 and got the whooping of their lives. Don't worry. You think Israel will send f-16s against those Russian S-300 and d rest? Letvme enlighten you. They will send d F-35. They will be in and out of Syria before the S-500 even starts to boot. Keep imagining. Imaginations don't win wars. Tactics do. Attack them again and Imagine what happens. Imaginators
F-35? Don't make me laugh. That overrated flying coffin is already obsolete on arrival. If a supposed bird coalition can render such a plane unserviceable, the result would even be more catastrophic if it goes against advanced anti-aerial defence weapons.
Ask Turkey and Saudi Arabia why they are buying the S-400.
Israel is mighty in the skies but no planes makes you invisible unless you believe in propaganda.
No Arab nation can wipe off Israel but if you believe they can't lose wars cause they are God's children, then you have been brainwashed. Hezbolla kicked their asses in 2006, Cause the God that we know don't overwhelmingly support a nation that supports terrorists, kills innocent children playing football on the beach, hate blacks and Africans with a passion, and recognized homosexuality. If that's the God you and Israel believed, the Jesus we served here in Nigeria and on Nairaland doesn't teach that.
So stop playing the religious card and be pragmatic for once.
Here on Nairaland, we are the realists, not propagandists.
And the reality is that the IDF is not invisible, just like any other nation.
