And Gazprom isn't profitable?

They had just one loss in 20 years and you've been singing it to our ears since.

Okay let Apple/US use the market cap to print raw materials naawww.

$2 Trillion this, 10 Trillion that. Not even liquid asset.

Apple posted $90 billion loss?

This is why you are a broke retard, slaving everyday for free on Seuns forum while soaking Garri in-between

Apple is profitable, they had a decline in revenue. Learn the difference between decline in profits and an outright loss, clown

Apples marketcap alone is higher than Russia's GDP

You are one hell of an intelligent clown.

A huge decline in profit is a loss for a company the size of Apple whose shares slid more than 4% , erasing about $90 - 115 billion in market value and taking their year-to-date loss back past 11%. Once the world’s most valuable firm at more than $3 trillion, Apple has underperformed both the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 in 2024.

Twisting words like decline and actual loss won't help your cherry-picking narrative.

And stop quoting the OP off context. He never said Apple isn't a profitable business.

Gazprom again?

I hope you don't die mumbling "Gazprom" as your last words.

Why so obsessed with that company? 🤡 🤡

I posted 🇺🇸 Apple's $90 billion loss yesterday. Where were you?

Ibime is wired to only see Gazprom losses. He doesn't sees the massive losses of western companies in the UK, US, Germany, and many other places vis-a-vis the sanction war. Recently, Finland is asking the EU to provide it with 10 billion Euros cause it can no longer cope with the massive economic losses its eastern regions are suffering following the closure of the border crossings with Russia.

Leave brother Ibime to revel in his selective loss list if that would help him cope. cool

⚡Estonia must be able to block the Baltic Sea for Russia, said the commander of the Estonian Armed Forces Martin Herem.

"We have significantly improved our maritime capabilities. The Navy now has both sea mines and anti-ship missiles in its inventory. Together with Poland, Sweden and Finland, we should be able to solve one of our key problems - a possible blockade in the Baltic Sea," said the general.

On land, Estonia’s military power is also at its best, Herem is sure.

“The Estonian division, created just over a year ago, proved itself in all respects during the exercises.”

This local government of a country wants to block a whole continent. cool

⚡American troops in Niger have declared “increased readiness” due to the deployment of Russian specialists at the same base as them, the African country’s security forces reported.

The Russians were stationed at the 101st Air Base next to the Americans. About 150 Italian soldiers and about 100 Germans also serve there.

According to the source, the Germans and Italians behave calmly, while the Americans “constantly wear helmets and body armor and behave extremely nervously.”

What else do you expect from Yankee soldiers that are overhyped and over pampered like boiler fowls?

This was how they were crying and weeping when Iranian coast gaurds seized their military boats and threat them like ordinary Somali pirates criminals back in 2016.

Right now, I think it's best Ukrainians take him out.

This guy is about to cause a disease pandemic in Ukraine and environs.

Just imagine sone of those diseased soldiers like those with HIV deliberately raping their fellow men or somehow passing off their disease....you know things happens a lot in military circles, especially with people that feels they have nothing else to lose. The more I think about it, the more I believe Zelensky would be taken out very soon by some elements within the armed forces. It's getting to that level.

The issue with some of you is that you feel compelled to distort the truth to align with your pro-Russian stance. Iam a pro Russian, but go and fact-check, you'll find that whenever oil is discovered, the estimated amount of oil deposits is publicly disclosed.


One of Nigeria's first most oil well in Oloibiri in Bayelsa state have since dried up, and the place has been overtaken by weed.

Oil is not infinite, just that before one well would dries up, others have been discovered and the cycle continues.

⚡A whistleblower who accused a Boeing supplier of ignoring defects in the production of the 737 MAX has died, family members and his lawyer have said.

Joshua Dean, a former Spirit AeroSystems employee who alleged he was fired in retaliation for flagging lax standards at the company’s Wichita, Kansas, manufacturing plant, died on Tuesday after a sudden illness, his aunts and sister said in posts on social media.

Dean’s lawyer Brian Knowles said his client’s death was a “loss to the aviation community and the flying public”.


“He possessed tremendous courage to stand up for what he felt was true and right and raised quality and safety issues. Aviation companies should encourage and incentivise those that do raise these concerns. Otherwise, safety and quality are truly not these companies’ top priorities,” Knowles told Al Jazeera.

Spirit AeroSystems said the company’s thoughts were with his family.

“This sudden loss is stunning news here at Spirit and for his loved ones,” a spokesperson told Al Jazeera.

Dean’s mother wrote in a Facebook post last month that her son was “fighting for his life” after contracting pneumonia and suffering a stroke following an MRSA infection.

As usual, they have silenced him.

This came as a shocked to USA allies as the USA government did not informed them.

Religion was created by people.
Religion is perpetuated by people.
Religion's holy books are written by people.
The people who are the conqueror, colonizer and enslaver enforced their religion on the conquered, colonized and enslaved people.
Religion is defended and fought over by people.
Religion is indoctrinated into future adult people (children) by current adult people.
Religion is easily usable by religious leaders to scam people of their money/resources and easily usable to move people lay down their precious lives to kill and get killed in wars

It's laughable to attempt to separate religion from people.

No one is separating religion from people. Religion cannot exist without people. Don't misquote me.

The underlying goal of religion is to chart a humane, disciplined, and happy life for humanity. This was what I was insinuating on my earlier reply to you. It's people that makes religion appear bad by how they practiced it.

You can't boldly say religion is a scam just because some practice it in a way that convey such negative viewpoints. But there are others that practice same religion in a way that makes others to emulate them positively.

It's like when some persons would say education is a scam in Nigeria because of the useless leaders will have. But, that doesn't take away the fact that education is the best legacy you can give to a child.

President Biden is reportedly working on a 10 year deal to send Ukraine $1 trillion in military aid and $500 billion in reconstruction loan guarantees and would prevent the next two presidents from cutting off aid.

Imagine a nation that doesn’t have money for free healthcare, free rent/housing, and student loans but giving out billions to a foreign countries yet the Russia they are fighting have all those things.
Still surprised that out of all those advanced countries, only USA don’t have any of those things yet their citizens are not protesting about it but always complain like Nigerians

800 billion this, 900 billion that.

That amount is not even enough to maintain over 800 bases worldwide

60% of that money will be used to line up the pockets of corrupt officials and defense contractors.

So where will money for weapons research even come from?



You can describe the US MIC as a racketeering organization for the deep state. They have the US government and the general populace caged in a repeated circle of unprecedented corruption via bloated military budgets in the name of war.

The Military Industrial Complex is the economic paradise of defense contractors. And guess what.

The bulk of the US military budget goes to defense contractors. Troops and veterans don't even come second in the sharing schemes.

These contractors have their agents within and around all areas of the government machinery. Most of those senators and reps you see all the time on a war footing are not not called war Hawks for nothing. They represent different interests (defense contractors) within the MIC, and of course, they all get their percentage.

. The MIC has a great influence on American foreign policy, because it serves as the link through which they can create so-called 'enemies' for America, then wars for America to go after those enemies. That way, they reap in the big bucks continuously. And the cycle continues.

This was exactly what formal US president Dwight Eisenhower warned the American people against in his farewell speech in 1961. Today, the MIC has become so influential as such that the president must be someone that goes along with their interests. Otherwise, all hell would break lose. That was why they don't like Trump. That was why they killed John F. Kennedy who before his death said that some persons were trying to control his government.

The corruption in that sector is beyond anything you can imagine.

⚡Finland has asked the EU for money to support the regions bordering Russia.

At a meeting with von der Leyen, the Finnish Prime Minister asked the EU for help for the eastern regions affected by the closure of borders with Russia.

The Finnish politician asked the head of the EC to contribute to the allocation of €10 billion. Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo also asked the EU for help for the eastern regions bordering Russia during the visit of the President of the European Commission to the country.

He voiced the request during a press conference with the head of the EC.

"It's a security issue, it's a lack of investment issue. Eastern Finland is suffering now. We need the EU to help Eastern Finland, which has suffered from Russian behavior (more precisely, from the imposition of sanctions against Russia by Finland)."

These guy's are shameless. He even have the guts to say "Russian behavior". You placed sanctions on Russia and closed your borders with the country, forgetting that, much of your people in that part depends overwhelmingly on Russia for their basic necessities and economic survival. Now, you're begging for help and blaming Russia for your folly. This is comic tragedy.

Russia on the other hand continue to produce and commission new ships even as at yesterday.

Many people don't even know that much of the US gigantic military budget goes to maintenance and only a part translate into real new armaments. This practice in its current form is unsustainable and is one of the reasons the US would collapse like the Roman empire did.
