And that needs to stop if as black Africans we want to forge ahead. I think, we need to be less dependent on the West. We need to look inward to solve our myriads of problems. Anyways, the enemies of Nigeria and indeed Africa must die! Shikena.

@Post

One day, USA will pay dearly for all the calamity she has caused worldwide. She is mystery Babylon and the bible in the book of Daniel tells me that she is destined for destruction. I am watching.

Tell me you are an Endtimer..if so, then look towards the East, that is where her destruction is coming from. The events are already shaping. How are we prepare for home going?

Capnd143:
you see bro, that is the problem with some nigerians, when you tell the truth, the simply refuse to believe, even when given evidence. The ambassador of us clearly told fg after a boko haram bombing saying "america does not a permanet freind but rather permanent interest" and will go beyound lines to proctect it interest. Any wel thinking guy would understand the implication of that statement.

i have 1001 evidence to prove the validity of this theory, who ever doughts should just ask for it

The bible made it clear.... 'for God had given them a strong delusion that they should believe a lie....'.
This is so because, they love not the knowledge of the truth... No thanks to western Main Stream Media and Hollywood brainwashing propaganda machine, the 'tv box office'..

So, let those who want to believe, believe, and those that, despite substantial evidence and the scale of propability, chose to remain in d dark, should be allowed to... With time, we all shall come to the knowledge of the truth..

Pls email me any of such evidence for my research; steveemem@gmail.com

Thanks.

Guy please read in between the lines there's a different between buying and been funded

thank you..

Ngwakwe:
Op do you think boko haram can be easily bought with money.

You can believe anything, boko haram is driven by ideology the same with Taliban in Pakistan and Al-shabab in Somalia.

and u can disbelieve everything, even when the facts are propable?

Where did you get this number from?

And are you not aware of his people jailing opposition leaders to silence them?

He was a criminal and he got what he deserved. No pity at all, even though I don't like how the US and the EU initially reacted to the incidents taking place on the Maidan.

I wish every crooked politician ended up like him, running away from their own country, scared for their lives.

Yeah. He was corrupt,no doubt.

MARCH 22, 2003
Russia has accused the United States of using Cold War tactics after a U.S. spy plane flew close to Russia's border with Georgia on March 22.


http://www.stratfor.com/situation-report/russia-scrambles-fighter-jets-track-us-spy-plan#axzz3OEuTGDyw

MARCH 22, 2003
Russia scrambled fighter jets March 22 to track a U.S. spy plane that Moscow says came into Russian airspace, within 18 miles of the Russian border with Georgia. Russian anti-aircraft forces detected and tracked a U.S. spy plane flying near the Russian border, and two fighter jets "were deployed to escort it," Interfax cited an official as saying. It was the third time this month, Russia claims, that U.S. spy planes have come near Russian airspace.


The Flights never ended and the US never denied it (because they are not being reported in the US doesn't mean they are not happening). NATO initially did not have problems with Russia resuming the strategic flights (they have been flying since 2011 after all).

The Russia delegation with NATO is just a paper delegation. Their tasks can be performed thru diplomatic channels and it does not amount to much. It is simple, Who is NATO defending itself against? I think it is naive to say that because there is a NATO-Russia council, everything is dandy.

If NATO is just a security alliance and not against Russia, why not offer Russia a deal to become a full NATO member in the future? After all, Putin asked for this in 2011 after he assisted the US in securing military bases in central Asia to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan. It was brushed aside.

military interventions in all forms in any non NATO member countries that come under attack from Russia

Then why are NATO members pledging military aids to Ukriane? isn't that a form of military intervention? Why would NATO be concerned about non NATO states? Is that not beyond NATO mandate?

Obama unilaterally cancelled the proposed Ground-Based Ballistic Missile Defense Interceptors in Poland, even though this led to a strain in US-Polish ties and it made several NATO members question US's commitment to joint defense. The US had hoped that Russia will see this as a measure of goodwill

In fact Russia even did one better. They agreed to the said missile defense as long as Russia is integrated into it. After all, "It was defending against Iran and North Korea" They agreed (in principle) to the interceptors if Russian personnel would be allowed to work with American personnel on the site and even agreed to allow the US use their radar stations in Azerbaijan at the time as part of the missile defense. According to Stephen Hadley who was the NSA then, Putin drew a blue print of how US, EU and Russia defense assets can work together. But they stalled and Obama cancelled it instead.


Your analysis of Putin's policies are way off. When the country open its doors in the 90s, it was plundered and Russia was never criticized under Yeltsin. Most of them will tell you they are better off when order was restored by the old KGB faction which Putin currently leads. The problem is complacency (easy oil money) and naive policy makers (the west is our friend). Russians are beginning to be less Eurocentric which means they are starting to understand that they have few friends in the west.

The food policy might be a short term loss but within few years, it will stabilize and things will be back to normal. Europe will be the biggest loser and Ukraine will NEVER join NATO despite all the efforts. Crimea will never return, and the Donbass will be lost eventually. That is the fact.



You can say that again, missy.

Putin's approval rating is evidence of his good work.. He has been able to turn the economy fairly. You know, Rome was'nt build in a day..
From what we ahve been saying, which u have rightly pointed out, it shows that, the US had long harbour a grand plan against Russia, the reality we are seeing now.

The reason why am so borthered, is that, Russia is not Iraq, Libya, or Aghan.. We are talking of one of the most powerful nuclear owner and well documented military capability on the planet.. How this people think at times, is something else. But i beieve everything will work out well.

May Jesus help us.

[quote author=bookface post=29605727]Interesting piece, bro.

1) if Russia claims the event occured and NATO denies it, are we really then to believe it really happened? ( or didn't happen? )
That can best be answered by fitting the facts to d prevailing circumstances, And for fairness sake, we can rephrased it to be this; 'if NATO says, Russia is aggressive and a threat, are we realy to believe it or not'?. ( and was there any action or omission on thier part that triggers the Russian reactions and counter measures?)
let either our good or bad conscience answer that, in view of such circumstances.

2) I somehow find it difficult to believe that NATO continues to deliberately provoke Russia with airspace probe while Russia...

Yes, Its been occuring, and they do respond as usual..

http://foresightadvisors.co.za/russian-jet-chased-us-spy-plane-into-
swedish-airspace/

Must it be a fighter or spy jet to constitute 'provocation'? What difference doest it make? Mere utterances alone by highly placed individuals in government, could change the nature of diplomatic relations and influences the direction of foreign policy, let alone having 'a piece of the enemy's armament' over ur territorial integrity or close to ur borders

----If spy planes, isn't this just an ineffective use of resources - I would think in this day and age it is more effective to use other means like subs, surface ships, and low orbit satellites.

Pls ask the US that. It has 'a satalite in orbit that can read the headline of a newspaper' below, but it still feels this is the best method. Old habits die hard, u know..

--but it is likely not in the scale that the Russians are reporting...

Back to square one.. Are we to disbelieve the Russians but to believe the Hegemon? Of cause, they have always responded in kind, or what do u expect? And why the cry now, when we know its something that is common between all power players?

-- NATO established the NATO-Russian council for consultation and consensus building between the two parties - It was hoped that this council will act quickly to diffuse tensions, and to build bridges and common understanding.

Its true. But have they actually done much in this areas to diffuse tensions? No thanks to the US. You want to diffuse tensions, but u, without provocation, withdrew from the ABM treaty, and started to develop new range of such prohobited missiles. 'NATO wants cordial and sharing realtionship with Russia', but when Russia applied to Join the alliance, they refused. Tell me, what better way can one develop mutual and peaceful relationship with its neighbour, without raising suspicion, other than been closly knit under one platform and common goal? Its just like saying, u are my friend, but u cant come to my house or dine with me. Rubbish.

-- NATO pledged not to move military defense assets to Eastern Europe -

not d missile shields, though..

-- Obama unilaterally cancelled the proposed Ground-Based Ballistic Missile Defense Interceptors...

Oh, u forgot to mention d Russian response that might have influenced such decision. Russia was about moving some nukes into Venezuela, and then to reopen same with Cuba.

-- NATO-- ruling out military interventions in all forms in any non NATO member countries that come under attack from Russia--

The typical NATO psyops and Rhetorics.
How many such nations have come under 'Russian attack'? A 'list' would be helpful.

--But what have Russia done to--

Yeah..but what could they have done? Those nations were'nt d ones pulling d strings. The One that matters has its 'agenda'.

The real problem is--

yes. They have every right to c NATO (a tool of d US) as a threat.last time i checked, the US (the owner of NATO) is the 'greatest threat to world peace', as voted by millions. It was'nt Russia that sponsored d coup in Ukrain.

On Venezuela and Agentina--

The Hegemon was responsible for the trauma facing these nations. Why do u think they are now in d' de-Dollarization' mood? Pls, hear from 'the horse's mouth' below;
http://www.serendipity.li/cia/stock1.html
The CIA was, and is still running covert ops over there.

Russia building new ICBMs and guns--

Whether we like it or not, Russia had, is, and will still be a major power.. The defence budget of Russia and China combined its not even up to half of what the US spends annualy on its military. Anyone with basic economic knowledge should know that the US economy is a sham..with a debt of over 17 trillion dollars..the FED reserve printing billions with nothing to back it with..

Russia very deficient in Economic policy--

What abt d EU? Do they have any thought on thier own economy when dancing to uncle Sam's 'pressured' sanctions? Today, Germany, which has alot in invesment in Russia, is facing serious opposition from within its manufacturing complexies. Most EU farmers are practically suffocating. Sanctions always have boomerang effects

Thanks. We all need to air our views

NairaMinted:
Yes indeed I am aware of these other sources. I just listed the ones I visit regularly. Vineyardsaker in particular provide incredible insight and background information as far as Russia and Ukraine is concerned. And in some cases, even on the Boko Haram situation which you probably woudn't find from any other news source. The Saker is well informed and connected it would seem.

And thanks for your words and please do keep up the good work. What you and I are doing is simply telling the truth - irrefutable and undeniable truth. For those that tell themselves lies over and over again till these lies become the truth in their eyes, and then proclaim that they can refute our truth but yet fail to do so, let them continue wallowing in their fallacy.

I have heard u, my brother. We are obliged by Almighty God to fight for what is right at all times. And to never cave in to the whims and calprises of the enemy's blue lies and under the platform of unparalleld deception.

Yeah, we are bound by supreme command to this, just as it is written;
'' never u be the cause, never u be the victim', and above all, ' never u be a bystander'.

That is the clarion call by ' the voice of truth'.

Yeah. That is Grand Master Putin, the Godfather of Chess.

carefreewannabe:
Yanukovych is not innocent, he is an id*iot. He got what he deserved.

Yes. Yanukovich was not innocent in terms of corruption, but he was overwhelmingly elected by 98% of the people, and so does not deserved the US brutal 'false flag' and coup that ousted Him.

The horrors of the Empire continues;

1964, 1971 Bolivia.Coups. Victor Paz was overthrown in a CIA-supported coup. Paz had not supported the U.S. Cuban policy. Barrientos. a U.S. puppet, was installed. The U.S. took firm control of the Bolivian army, sent dozens of US advisors to La Paz and brought 1600 of Bolivia’s military officers back to the U.S. for training at U.S. military bases. The CIA spent several million dollars in 1966 and 1967. Ex-Nazi butcher, Klaus Barbie, helped form the Bolivian “national security state”, using torture.

1966. Ghana.Coup. Khwame Nkrumah was overthrown in a CIA-backed military coup after he tried to strengthen ties to the Soviet Union, East Germany, and China.

1967-1974. Greece.Coup and terror. Liberal leader George Papandreou was overthrown in a military coup backed by the CIA, the Greek military, and U.S. military stationed in Greece. Martial law, arrests, beatings, torture, killings followed, with 8,000 victims in the first month. Democracy was effectively killed.

1967- Cuba. Assassination. In CIA operation OPMONGOOSE, the Agency’s Cuban exile agents tracked down guerilla leader, Che Guevara, and executed him in Bolivia.

1960s – 1980s. South Africa.Terror. The CIA worked with South African intelligence to try to defeat Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress (ANC) and was responsible for the capture and imprisonment of Mandela. Mandela was to spend 28 years in prison. The CIA covertly sent arms to South Africa (in violation of UN and US policy) in order to support the apartheid regime there.

1968-1980s. Mexico.The “dirty war”. Hundreds of student protesters were killed in 1968. The killers were never brought to justice. Indeed, they had been hired by the government.

1970. Bolivia. Coup. CIA patsy Barrientos died in 1969, under suspicious circumstances. Juan Jose Torres was elected and immediately he seized land owned by foreign corporations, including Gulf Oil. Another CIA-directed coup overthrew President Torres and installed SOA-graduate, Banzer. He was a longtime friend of ex-Nazi, Klaus Barbie. The overthrow of Torres was accompanied by extreme violence; tin miners were violently suppressed and over 3000 leftists and union organizers were interrogated and “disappeared”. Barbie advised Banzer on techniques of internal suppression- including a system of concentration camps for important military and political prisoners. Banzer also oversaw one of the world’s most profitable drug empires- a multi-billion-dollar business- La Mafia Cruzena. 80% of the world’s cocaine originated from his fields in the Alto Beni. He was the primary supplier of raw coca and cocaine to the Medellin cartel.

1970. Cambodia.Coup and secret war, terrorism. During 1969, President Nixon and Kissinger ordered a secret “carpet bombing” against North Vietnamese troops on Cambodian territory under code name “Menu”. (This bombing was substantive grounds for impeachment of Nixon and was chosen as 4th proposed article of impeachment by the House Judiciary Committee. Prince Sihanouk, former king turned prime minister, was overthrown in U.S.-sponsored coup in March, 1970. Marshal Lon Nol of the Cambodian army, was installed as a U.S. puppet. In April, 1970, Nixon and Kissinger launched a large scale US military invasion of Cambodia and occupied the “parrot’s beak” area. The Khmer Rouge (Cambodian communist party modeled on the Chinese example) took power after a systematic campaign of terror bombing, ordered by Nixon and Kissinger in 1973. Operation Arclight began shortly after the Jan., 1973 Paris accords with Vietnam and had the pretext of halting a Khmer Rouge attack on Phnom Penh. US forces carried out 79,959 officially-confirmed sorties with B-52s and F-ll bombers against targets inside Cambodia, dropping 539,129 tons of explosives. (The estimated death toll: 300,000 to 500,000). In 1974, the Khmer Rouge, under Pol Pot, consolidated power, executing teachers, civil servants, intellectuals, i.e., those who could read and write. (This was similar to Operation Phoenix in Vietnam which was occurring at the same time). Nixon and Kissinger supported these genocidal policies because it fit with their overall aim to depopulate LDCs and because it helped consolidate their relationship with China. Over 2 million of about 7 million people were killed in the period 1969-79, per capita the perhaps the greatest genocide in the 20th century. Some estimate that 34% of population was wiped out.

1975. Saudi Arabia.King Feisal was murdered by CIA. In 1991, King Fahd was informed by Sec. of Defense Richard Cheney that they were to be a militarily occupied country in order to protect them from Iraqi aggression. U.S. troops remain there today, as well as in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman and all the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Such are the unenviable records of the Hegemon, and they are still counting. Ukrain, Russia, Syria, libya, Hk.

Yeah, Sir. US 'soft power technique' is indeed, unclad terror.

The people of the world hate America because of America’s policies. They do not hate the American people; they hate the American government. Is the American government a Satan or is it a benevolent Uncle Sam?
All over the world, the rash of terrorism is springing up. In a 1980 report on the subject of terrorism, the CIA defined terrorism as “the threat or use of violence for political purposes by individuals or groups whether acting for, or in opposition to, established governmental authority. When such actions are intended to shock or intimidate a target group wider than the immediate victims.”

Let us judge America by its own definition and actions;

From documents gathered through the Freedom of Information Act,Harper’smagazine published a list of covert actions initiated by the Government of the United States of America, through the CIA, without the knowledge of the American people, without debate in Congress and without any kind of appropriate response. These are foreign policies, not made even by presidents or senators. The real foreign policy, according to the scholars , is made by multinational corporations of America. They determine foreign policy; and if they determine foreign policy, they also determine domestic policy.
In 1963, an attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro was unsuccessful. There are murderers in the White House.
In the Dominican Republic, the U.S. organized a military coup to overthrow the government of Juan Bosch, which was successful.

In 1963 in South Vietnam, the U.S. precipitated conditions leading to the assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem. In Ecuador, they overthrow d govmt of Carlos Julio Arasemona.
In Chile, they gave $20m to Eduardo Frei Montalva, to bribe and defeat Salvador Allende in d election. They were successful.
In Uraguay, Peru, Brazil and Dominican Republic, they trained the police and secret services on assasination and interogation techniques to defeat opponents. They were unsuccessful.

In Iran, the U.S. overthrew the government of Mohammad Mossadeghand placed the Shah of Iran on the throne so that multinational corporations could get the oil out of Iran at a cheaper price.

In South Vietnam in 1964, the U.S. attempted to eliminate the Viet Cong infrastructure through more than 20,000 assassinations in an operation called the Phoenix program, and it was partially successful. These are murderers and butchers in the name of government.

In North Vietnam, the U.S. implemented a sabotage and ambush mission by U.S. Special Forces personnel and Nam tribesman. In Laos in 1965, the U.S. implemented sabotage and ambush missions called Operation Shining Brass, which was later renamed Prairie Fire. These are the names they give their wickedness. In Indonesia in 1965, the U.S. organized a propaganda campaign to overthrow the government of President Sukarno, who had organized the Bandung Conference that rejected all Europeans and united all the people of the planet. This campaign precipitated conditions that led to the massacre of more than half a million Indonesians. According to the Indonesians, they said it was nearly a million people that the CIA had killed in Indonesia.
In Chile, they organized a campaign of assassination, propaganda strikes and demonstrations to overthrow the government of Salvador Allende, leading to his assassination. In Angola, they provided military assistance to forces trying to defeat the popular movement for the liberation of Angola during the Angolan Civil War. The U.S. government was against the popular movement because the popular movement is for the good of the masses. The multinational bloodsuckers of poor people are the real culprits behind America’s foreign policy.
In Jamaica, they organized a 1976 military coup to overthrow the government of Michael Manley. They supported three attempts to assassinate Prime Minister Manley, who was elected by the masses who loved him. But White America did not want him in leadership, so they tried to assassinate him three times and were unsuccessful. Later, they found another way to unseat him—through the International Monetary Fund.

In Nicaragua, they recruited, trained and equipped anti-Sandinista forces for sabotage and terrorist insurgents into the country. In Suriname, the U.S. government was behind three attempts to overthrow the government of Colonel Desi Bouterse. In Guatemala, they organized a military coup to overthrow the government of Angel Anibal Guevara Rodriguez. In Chad, they provided military assistance to overthrow the government of Goukouni Oueddei. In Libya, the CIA orchestrated campaigns of economic pressure, propaganda and military maneuvers to destabilize the government of Muammar Gadhafi and assassinate him, which it later achieved by the sucessful 'colour revolution', and the subsequent bombardment.

But The Empire of chaos isnt done..

[quote author=Nairaminted
I am following you. You seem to be another awoken citizen.[/quote]Oh, Nairaminted.. May u and ur likes live long to realize the fruits of walking in the light. But may ur enemies misbehave worse than Nepa..

Yes. I am one of the few awoken ones... For conscience is an open wound, only truth can heal it..

And so we must strive to awaken others of our types, the 'lone soldiers' that are still trapped in the darkness of the empire's corridour of propaganda and overwhelming brainwashing machine...the Main Stream Media and Hollywood..

Did i hear u say '17 trillion'?
Last time i checked, the Empire's 'debt reserve' is clocking 18+ trillions, an amount that can cause the deaf to hear. Yet, they cant stop dictating to other nations on thier economies. The zenith of hypocricy.

Every right thinking persons that understand basic economics, knows that the Empire is sitting on a 'bubble', waiting to erupt and crash.

Infact, the only basic thing the 'United State of Torture' is exporting (aside weapons), is the 'dollar'.

The FED reserve, like u rightly mentioned, is practically printing trillions of dollars, with nothing to back it. Howveer, this scheme has been, and is still working for them, because, the dollar is the means of exchange in the global oil market..coupled with the fact that most nations denominated thier national reserves with the Dollar. Hence, the firm value it is currently experiencing.

But that is about to change.

Now that the cloak is being lifted from the microscopic view point of many nations, that are now begining to c d real personality of the Hegemon, many of them, of the such are, China, Russia,South Africa, India, Angola, Brazil, Nigeria, Syria, Iran,Peru, libya (which as a result gadafi was taken out), and many more nations now entry the de-Dollarization mode, by swaping thier own currencies with each other, no longer, or are about dumping the dollar, as means of foreign exchange, and by returning to Gold standard..the begining of the end of the Empire has commenced.

This explains The panick mood they are in now.
They knew it, and that is why they are fighting those nations one after the other, to submit or atleast, prolong the inevitable demise of the Most satabic empire ever to grace planet earth.

Yes, it will take time, but the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step..

The unmeasurable blood of the innocents demands it.

The wailing souls of the tortured, and the falsely accused, are standing before God and before nature for the unavoidable consequence of sin and terror- Judgement and Justice..

The process has began, and the clock is ticking, tick tack, tick tack..

@Appleyard and Nairamint

I really don't want to go on with this argument, it's just not worth it.

You can read NATO's version of the stories from here:
http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_111767.htm?#cl5


I respect your opinion, but i like my opinion much better

alrgt bro.. But i would also that u read up the Russian version of d agreement,by following the links as provided by our humble collegue, Nairamint. And that u should also weigh up the facts and compare them to the situation on ground, as to form a better opinion.

NEVERTHELESS, Ur opinion is quite recognized also.

Thats how matured men with natured minds roll..

Live long...

[quote author=NairaMinted post=29544661]There indeed was an agreement between Gorbachev and Reagan in which the Soviet Union was given assurances that NATO wouldn't expand eastwards. NATO/US/The Hegemon lied and broke these assurances. Simple. No fiction here.
[url]http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/nato-s-eastward-expansion-did-the-west-break-its-promise-to-moscow-a

May God bless u and cause u to live longer.
Your analysis, cited with references, truely hit d nail on d head.

The horors that have been committed by the US and NATO goes way beyond what Hitler's holocaust could only dream of.
There had never in history existed a time of outright lies,thrumped up pretext, false flags operations, unclad impunity towards d global order and overwhelming terror, backed by the most sophisticated military might and propaganda machine, in d whole of human history, than it is today.
But this time around, for once, many are afraid, and come to think of it, thier fears are well founded, because, unlike other nations, Russia is not a walk over..and though, like u rightly mention, it has shown considerable restrain in d wake of a clear attack, Putin might Just lose patience mid way as things are getting worse.... And may just decide to go all out militarily, should all out force been use against d donbass by the Nazis in Kiev..which could easily lead ro major confrontation between d big powers,and u and i know where that will definitely lead to.
May God not let this happen in my time.
Some bastards in the empire think they can actually win a nuclear war, provided they have a first strike. How this people think, at times, is beyond me.
They believe they have everything, and so they can do whatever they list, even when d enemy can sneak up to u without noticing.
Apparently,been intoxicated with thier quest for war and lust for blood (since war is thier major source of bringing in the petrol dollar), the satanist have forgotten, and even if they know, simply dont care about the possibility of anihilating their own nations and people, infact, the entire human race.

So drunk that they wont even heed the warning from thier own navy and intelligence body on the capability of d enemy on many fronts, such as,the Russian Buleva class submarine, the quietest of any u can think of, one of such was in US waters deep in the coast of califonia for over a month, without being detected, and it carries long range ballistic nuclear lunchers that could take out three cities in one strike.

What abt d US formidable air power/Russia S 300 and S 400 air defense misiles?

The 1%ers seem to be oblivious to reality. They actualy believe that thier misile shield can protect them, and so wont mind taking this present cold war into a hot one.
I am refering to the Anglo-Zionist crazy throlls in the empire as well as d 'fifth columnists' in the Russian government set up, that would do everything possible to pit together, the two most powerful nations on earth, with a Nuclear ansenals capable of exterminating the whole of mankind.

May God help us in Jesus name..

Yes good points again..but like d first, u still have not recognize d issue d issue of sensitivity by great powers towards thier immediate environment. This is d key to this whole mess currently taking place now.. Lets address this issues that u have pointed out..
1) that Nato did not at anytime guarantee Russia as it relate to its expansion..and that it was just a Russian Narative..
Pls have u done ur research on this before taking this position? Because it is a big lie so to speak. Even the US state department in an interview with Matt Lee of AP, couldnt deny that fact that Nato renegaded on its promise.
2) that NATO has consistently said it maintains an open door policy,and not a threat... Haha.. It will interest u to know that some years back, Russia applied to become a member of NATO, and guess what.. They said No. While they are systematically bringing in its neighbours.why wont they be suspicious?. An Open door policy indeed.

3) A downed plane with decomposing bodies.. No sir, am not dump, though it sounds funny. Eye witness account, expecially one from a woman living in the village close to where the plane fell, told an Al Jazzeraa freelance correspondent that, one of the bodies from d blast landed on her bedroom, and on closer examination,she discovered the body was already decomposing.. How is that possible with a fresh crashed incident? Or what abt the discovery by the investigating team that one of the passengers had an oxygen mask on before d plane went down? Meaning He had a clear view of what was shooting down d plane (propably a fighter) since he couldnt have seen the purported buk misile, coming from buttom, and so quickly reached for an oxygen mask. I guess that is funny or dump too. Except that such facts are not befiting to the MSM naratives, and so can not have the 'light of day' in media coverage.

4) yes, u are right.. It is thier inalienable right to make thier decisions. Russia must not dictate to them where or whom they wana be with.. But the last time i checked, when Russia shut the economic door against d face of confrontation with Europe, most of these states almost went into chaos, and Europe was crying foul that Russia has shut them off. That was wayback in 2008. And should Russia do same, wont they cry foul as well,expecially in this winter period? Cast ur mind back to d Russian retaliation against the first wave of sanctions, when they ban d import of agricultural products from the EU. Immediately, Poland and other members of the Baltic states rushed to d EU demanding compensation. Farmers in Ireland set ablaze d EU flag, the ones in greece and france were throwing unsold tomatoes at government buildings etc.

5) russia still have its troops in....
But You forgot to mention that south Ossetia and Abkhazia, transnistria,transcapathia, gaugauzia,etc, in those respective countries , are ethnic Russian minorities, which, in d case of Georgia and Ukrain, refused to be ruled by puppets neocons and Nazis regime installed by d powers that be, and are we saying Russia should not protect its own citizens else where? The United State can go to war to defend its citizens anywhere on the planet, but russia cant defend its own, even CLOSE to its borders? And if u dont know abt the killings orderd by saakavilli in geoogia then, and the Azov and neocon death squad now operating in Ukrain, pls do more on that. Even CNN and BBC couldnt deny d fact anymore that there are Nazis in d ukrain.,who goes about flying the nazi flag and emblem..
Russian forces in transnistria were there base on an agreement,not by force.
U forgot to mention that d crimea voted overwhemingly to secede, and then to join russia. Of course Russia coulnt have refuse, oweing to d strategic importance of the place where it had it naval fleet...as if d US wouldn have done d same, or even worse, if it were to be Pearl Harbour.. Not to mention that Crimea was overwhemingly Russian, Unlike Texas that was annexed from Mexico.

Air violations..
Dont u know how many times d US and Nato had violated Russian airspace? Is normal to both side.And Now that Russia has upped its own long range bomber fleights, they are now crying black.
What do u expect when u want to put missile shields and ballistic on Russia borders (uKrain and poland)? Are they d only nations in Europe where d US can place them?
Was d Budapest agreement one sided? Dont d US and Nato have dia own obligations stated therein?
Recently, the United S Was in haste to suddenly develop and reopen bilateral and diplomatic relations with Cuba, after many years of witchhunting and sanctions. Why?
Simple, it was because Putin announced that He would reopen Russia spy complex in Cuba.

That tells u how great powers are very sensitive towards thier environment, And will do anything humanly possible to protect it.

Lets just hope the powers on both side dont start shooting hot. Cos, the US also have large amount of nuclear arsenals,not Russia only.

Nobleval:
Someone is reasoning like a sane man now. I just hope that Mr Obama agrees with him.

abi,my brother.. But i dont think that satanist in the white house would play ball.. They have a hidden agenda as it relate to the ukrain, and so will do evrything possible to keep up with the act of trying to 'curtail' Russia. Then thier next step will be against China, cos, these are the only two nations standing against the satanist new world order and total control of mankind. The likes of Ukrain is just a puppet state in destablelizing Russia, by targeting the economy.. The US dont have any need for Ukrain other than use it and place thier so called missile shield there and also in poland. An act every reasonable person knew that is aimed at Moscow. How would d US react if Russia is to put missiles in Cuba, Mexico, etc? So much for western media cries of 'Russia being aggressive'..

Sanctions are working against Russia becos, their monentary system is tied to the west. And now that they are gadually pulling off by developing thier own rating system, in conjuction with China and members of d BRICS, and such other nations, by returning to gold standard, it wont be long before Europe start suffocating from the boomerang effect of sanctions, for wish the only winner is the US.

Hollande and merkel knows this, hence the sudden U-turn to woo Russia back on track.
Some of the European leaders are gradually getting the picture of what could possibly unfold, expecially now that the empire is not fully getting the results ( the failed isolation attempt) it expected from the glaring Ukranian 'false flag'operation,
the Anglo-Zionist Empire of chaos may just decide to go d extra mile by trying to lure Russia into an open conflict, by supplying Kiev with leather arms to kill the DONBASS PEOPLE OF THE EAST WHO REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE COUP IMPOSED BY THE US IN KIEV, for which Russia had vowed it will never allow to happen.

Though for now, the Kremlin is not taking d bait, the possibility of a shooting war between Russia and NATO, is getting higher daily. And like u mentioned, common sense should enable people to c where that would leave mankind, expecially Europe.

We are talking of the possibility of thousands of nuclear war heads flying zigzag in d air.. A war which nobody, animal or trees would win, except d bacteria which is immuned to radiation..

Hollande and co knows this.

But the question is, 'does the 1%ers give damn?...

The level of human stupidity at times, is appalling..
Now i understand why God said He regreted for making man..

Today, man's thinking facaulties has become Garbage.

Pathetic..

THE oil price has fallen by more than 40% since June, when it was $115 a barrel. It is now below $70. This comes after nearly five years of stability. At a meeting in Vienna on November 27th the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, which controls nearly 40% of the world market, failed to reach agreement on production curbs, sending the price tumbling. Also hard hit are oil-exporting countries such as Russia (where the rouble has hit record lows), Nigeria, Iran and Venezuela. Why is the price of oil falling?
The oil price is partly determined by actual supply and demand, and partly by expectation. Demand for energy is closely related to economic activity. It also spikes in the winter in the northern hemisphere, and during summers in countries which use air conditioning. Supply can be affected by weather (which prevents tankers loading) and by geopolitical upsets. If producers think the price is staying high, they invest, which after a lag boosts supply. Similarly, low prices lead to an investment drought. OPEC’s decisions shape expectations: if it curbs supply sharply, it can send prices spiking. Saudi Arabia produces nearly 10m barrels a day—a third of the OPEC quota.
Four things are now affecting the picture. Demand is low because of weak economic activity, increased efficiency, and a growing switch away from oil to other fuels. Second, turmoil in Iraq and Libya—two big oil producers with nearly 4m barrels a day combined—has not affected their output. The market is more sanguine about geopolitical risk. Thirdly, America has become the world’s largest oil producer. Though it does not export crude oil, it now imports much less, creating a lot of spare supply. Finally, the Saudis and their Gulf allies have decided not to sacrifice their own market share to restore the price. They could curb production sharply, but the main benefits would go to countries they detest such as Iran and Russia. Saudi Arabia can tolerate lower oil prices quite easily. It has $900 billion in reserves. Its own oil costs very little (around $5-6 per barrel) to get out of the ground.
The main effect of this is on the riskiest and most vulnerable bits of the oil industry. These include American frackers who have borrowed heavily on the expectation of continuing high prices. They also include Western oil companies with high-cost projects involving drilling in deep water or in the Arctic, or dealing with maturing and increasingly expensive fields such as the North Sea. But the greatest pain is in countries where the regimes are dependent on a high oil price to pay for costly foreign adventures and expensive social programmes. These include Russia (which is already hit by Western sanctions following the crisis in Ukraine) and Iran (which is paying to keep the Assad regime afloat in Syria). Optimists think economic pain may make these countries more amenable to international pressure. Pessimists fear that when cornered, they may lash out in desperation.

okeymadu:
@OP. Your analysis is one-sided. You didn't mention the fact that the countries that were formerly within Russia orbit of influence now joining NATO are doing for purely on economic reasons - to ensure the

Good points. But ur opinion and conclusion is also not fair, becos, u didnt addressed some of the issues raised by the post.

Now, u mentioned that those nations that were once formaly within d soviet union are joining the EU/Nato, in order to realize thier economic interest. And of course, there is nothing wrong with that....but why are d russians complaining? Do they have a right to complain? Well, Lets do some bit of history,

after d dissolution of d soviet union in d 1990s, there was an agreement reached between the US/Europe/Nato, that Nato will not expand eastward, in return for which Russia was to gave up d Warsaw pact. The agreement was signed and sealed by both parties. Why was such an agreement reached at d first place? It is because, great powers are very sensitive towards dia immediate environment, expecially when dealing with well established political foes. If u dont understand what this means, pls take ur mind back to the time in the 70s, when the Soviets were moving some of thier ballistic missiles into Cuba. What was d response of d US then? They raised alarm and threatened to strike first preemptively, if d Soviet continue with the venture. Becos to them, it is a threat to national security in having so close to ur borders missiles that belong to ur enemy, see? It was d timely intervention of d UN that saved d world from that nuclear nightmare.

And so, Russia gave up the warsaw pact, but did Nato kept it side of d bargain? The answer is an emphantic No... Since 1991 till date, Nato had been gradually encicling Russia,by expanding eastward.. And u say they should just keep silent?

Again, When the likes of Estonia and d other Baltic states started entry d EU, Russia had to voiced its concerned, becos it means that European goods under d free trade zone, would be entry this nations, and will eventually find thier way into the vast russia market, thereby escaping taxes and other tarriffs normally levied on such goods. This is becos Russia have free trade or very lower tariff rate with some of these formal soviet nations , but do not have same trade policies with the EU.

On the security side, i have not
seen any of this nations invaded or threatened militarily by Russia, xcept Georgia, whom of course caused the act that led to d war,when they attacked and killed Russian peace keepers in the brake away regions of Osseta and Abkhazia. Otherwise, if we are talking of bullying, we all know that d US is d chief of them all..so, is a case of d pot calling d kettle black.

In fact, how is Russia agressive and destablelizing it neighbours? I dont understand why someone would destablelize the sources where he is getting his money from..
We have forgotten that most of these eastern nations cant survive without Russian gas and oil...for instance, Poland, Romania, Hungary, geogia, Ukrain,Bulgaria, Belarus,Moldovia ,and so on,are practically dependent on Russia for thier energy need. And since they are paying, why would russia want to drive them? It just doesnt make sense.

The problem is that we believe everything the Main stream Media throw at us, and many blindly follow the chorus 'Russia aggression', and so many other nonesense carried by the secret service controlled media houses like BBC,CNN etc, etc.
Point to me how many nations Russia and Putin has invaded, or place economic embargo against?
Pls, am waiting for the list..
But we can count and still counting, d numbers of legitimate governments and nations the US and its Nato war machine have destroyed, the millions they have killed,...from panama to Nicaragua, from iraq to Afghan,serbia,syria,libya.... All these done out of perpetual lies that can make lucifer to be jealous. We all know abt d Iraqi false weapons of mass destruction...

Yet, it is Russia that is 'aggressive',not the US... Very pathetic.
Later, it would be China,then Brazil..and so on.
If u ask me the motive behind these things, i realy cant place it, other than trying to add up certain facts as to form an opinion.

However, one thing is certaim, Whatever is happening right now,especially accross Ukrain, its a carefully worked out plan to achieve a particular objective..the end result i cant tell.. But we must agree that the Ukrain crisis was another 'false flag'.
From the snipers who shot d protesters,to d hacked conversation between d EU rep and d Estonia foreign affairs minister, down to Nuland's 'Bleep d EU' tape... A downed plane with already decomposing bodies..an investigation done in secrecy, d findings of which is not to be disclose, as agreed by d crooked parties, and so on.
Also, did anyone took note when Obama said, 'China economic rise is a threath to its neighbours'.

Can u beat that?

May God help us

Expect more bombing from bokoharam... Just my thought.

And how did nigeria get missed up with that kind of body?
Does d north think that d whole country is islamic?
Na wow oo.

To everyone on this thread, please stop thinking that America is some God of a country. Just like they've colonized much of Africa, stripped you all of your language and turned YOU into their workers for the ultimate good of the European empire (European corporations), they've done the same in America....and then through television they show you a picture that glorify their evil and we all buy into it. Stop! Read and research for yourselves. I proposed a challenge to America and I'm proposing it to you all. Please see the video to the end and join in the challenge with me. It's for all of our benefit.

America go about preaching peace, yet, they have killed much people than Hitler's holocaust could ever dream of.
They go abt championing d cause of democracy and respect for fundamental human rights. Yet, the likes of Micheal brown, Gardner, and many more cases of racial profiling, murdered by white police officers could not get justice, even when it was clear blue murder.
America, through, that satanic box called television, wants u to think that all is bed and roses in the U.S. But the reality is that, the gap in d standard of living between the rich and d poor, is far bigger than u think....blacks and latinos are d most degraded class of people over there. America is a class based society.
America, through thier main stream media controllled by d CIA, will not air anything bad and corrupt abt wall street or d government. Neither will they let u know that 9/11 was an inside job.. A false flag operation to woo d opinion of d populace to engage and invade mapped out political enemies like saddam's Iraq,Afghanistan etc, etc.

Anerica that goes abt stressing 'must obedience' of international law,and respect for the territorial integrity of other states, have,ironically, violated all d laws governing d international order, by meddling in domestic affairs of other nations, sponsoring colour revolutions and overthrows of legitimate governments of various nations. And without UN resolutions, invades, bombed and massacre many innocent people..frm panama to vietnam,nicaragua,iraq,libya,syria, and now ukrain.. The list is endless.
America, for which a google search and thorough research would reveal to be the greatest threat to world peace.
They say they trust in God, yet, many schools in d land dont teach CRS, But they study witchcraft as a course.

God created them Adam and Eve, but America and co want us to marry them as Adam and Steve..
The country where people can sue God, But dont sue d devil.

The country that blast and sanction others for corruption and so on, yet none equals thier multinationals in terms of fraud and shady deals, especially in d oil sectors..
The greatest debtor in d world.
America, master of decption and brainwashing. Majority of the citizens dont travel out, and so, dont know what dia govt is doin in dia name. No thanks to the most sophisticated propaganda machine of all times...the main stream media..through that cursed box called television...driven by hollywood..where d movies depicts the italians as mafias, the chinese as enslavers, the russians as aggressors, the indians as primitives, the africans as slaves and bush people, the Arabs as terrorists, the english as colonialists, and of course, themselves..the americans as 'the perfect and messiah nation'.

America which preach right to privacy and freedom, yet, through d NSA and CIA, spy on thier own people and others accross d globe.

If u are still neck deep in love with this nation, and u love thier ways and support them in thier evils.. Then know that this scripture,Romans 1 vs 21 to 32, is for u, cause u are a partaker, except u are not spiritual.

yes.. The lie speaks for itself. We are in a country where 75% of the youths are unemployed. Yet, some microscopic myopic idiots are telling us that d economy has grown. Where are d damn jobs to show for it? Like u rightly mentioned, it is only on paper u have it..

All the Pathetic blood sucking little rednecked piece of bull shit political demagots in aso rock and beyond, that have made it a mandate to pull this nation backward each time we are making progress, may they all rest in peace before this year runs out,amen.

[quote author=prettyboi1989 post=29264277]C dis joker, u jst one of dese I too know peeps here who don't know jack bout anything. Ya'll talk cos ya'll feel lyk talking weda it makes sense or not ya'll aint bothered. Do u knw wat shale oil is? Do u knw dat us has about 4.8 trillion barrels of shale oil deposits in its country? Us stopd importing oil from most countries because they can now produce the oil they need from shale. M sure ur ignorant mind has never heard of shale oil b4. The reason why us is still importing the oil in saudi arabia is because of its lower quality than the one extracted from nigeria. Oya I too know why do u think the international oil price dropped from 100dollars a barrel to about 66 dollars recently? Is it because of us's beef with nigeria? Its the us shale oil boom that made the international oil price to crash. Think na, nigeria out of the other important countries in the whole world will be what usa will be bothered about in the oil market? Nawa o, even opec (0

The facts u stated are relevant,but ur conclusion is not all dat forthcoming.
YES. THE U.S HAVE A VERY LARGE QUANTITY OF SHALE OIL, AND ITS NOW CONTRIBUTING TO DIA IMMEDIATE DOMESTIC NEEDS.
BUT IT WASNT D SHALE OIL THAT CRASHED D GLOBAL OIL MARKET,BECOS, THE U.S IS NOT EXPORTING MUCH,IF NOT ANY,OF ITS SHALE GAS BECOS, D COST OF PRODUCING OR FRACKING OF SHALE IS VERY EXPENSIVE, HENCE D PRICE OF IT IS FAR HIGHER THAN D NORMAL CRUDE OIL PRICE. AND NOBODY WOULD BUY MORE AT A HIGHER PRICE A COMMODITY THAT U CAN BUY AT A MORE CHEAPER PRICE IN A RELATED ONE. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE STILL IMPORTING FROW OPEC MEMBERS.
SO DIA DECISION TO CUT OFF NIGERIA APPEARS TO BE POLITICAL.
AND ALSO,IT WAS SAUDI ARABIA OVER PUMPING OF CRUDE OIL DAT LED MOSTLY TO D FALL IN OIL PRICES.
DIA MOTIVE,I CANT TELL..
BUT IT WONT LAST LONG..

rhames:
Under Barrack Obama, everything concerning Nigeria has always had political connotations not only oil. The US Government and their attack dogs the CIA have already enacted a scenario which is more than ten years old to break Nigeria up before or by 2015. Energy Security, which they have almost fully achieved in order to cut or completely ban oil imports is one strategy. In furtherance to this, the US Government wanted a military base in Africa to which the powers on the continent and anti colonialist and nationalistic elements in some countries like Nigeria, South Africa and a host of others resisted dearly during OBJ regime. Apart from the Nigeria civil war,no military or civil confrontation has shaken Nigeria to its roots like Boko Haram. Unlike others, BH is an offshoot of Al Qaeeda and its international connections has sustained it this long. Its refusal to sell arms to Nigeria was part of a carefully planned strategy to weaken Nigeria politically economically and militarilly. The US has never won a war in Africa without Nigeria's contribution and they have always ended up being the larger beneficiary. Sierra Leone, Liberia, Somalia, South Sudan and any other crisis point on the continent. The only way to deal with this situation is to bring problems to Nigeria. When the Nigerian Government sought US help to set up a base in the country to help monitor and advise on how to deal with BH crisis, it refused and opted to set up a base in Tchad. Since setting up that base, BH attacks on Nigeria soil has intensifed. TChad is currently peaceful and every neighbor surrounding it are now very suspicious.There has been no Boko Haram attacks in Tchad. Instead, loot from BH activities in NIgeria, Cameroon, Niger have found a new destination there as per Nigeria Ambassador. The 2015 elections is a very decisive elections as armed groups particularly in the Niger DElta have vowed to break up the Country( as they are wont to do i.e Asari Dokubo) if Pres.GEJ is not re elected to office. Another very bad scenario is we as crude oil producers are now heavy importers with the bulk of the refined products coming in from US refiners. What happens if they suddenly decide overnight to stop shipping refined oil to Nigeria.

We do not blame the US alone but our own leaders whose orientation is to always wait for crisis before they seek for or solve that problem. No government since Independence has ever thought of expanding the refineries beyond the current capacity they met it. The refineries are operating below capacity and the country's top import bill is not luxury goods as per Okonjo Iweala economics but refined petroleum products. Internally illegal sale of crude oil goes on as a sabotage on the Nigerian state. The worl powers capitalised on the fact that no oil producing country is indutrialised enough to achieve self sufficiency because of the clueless brigands who have emerged as leaders ever since. The current generation of leaders in Africa are not even aware of what's going on in their county of origin talk less of what is happenning in their country.

May God Help Nigeria out of this crisis. Amen.

Amen...
i have continually pointed out that the greatest threat to our nation's well being, is not even boko haram,but the unrepented madness of our leaders in continually regarding d United States of Torture as an ally and partner.

i wont go into details because, ur analysis rightly fills d scenario of d discourse.

Constrition twines me like a snake each time i c our leaders running to the 'second son of satan' (for Cain was d first) for help, even when such help never materialize, and still keep bragging abt it.

our leaders are so myopic that they cant even differentiate between sign languages and body rhetorics, not to mention identifying and understanding d enemy even when d hand writing that is now on d wall is ten times clearer and pronounced than the one before king belshezzer,

why?
for durin g the Nigerian civl war, the americans refuse to sell wepons to us. Rather, they, through the notorious french mecenaries, covertly aided the biafran army, all to ensure the brakeup of the nation, which, like u rightly mention, has long been a feature of US strategy in Africa and else where.

The CIA strategy was to divide and conquer. it succeeded in Sudan.. Libya today is a mess. and Nigeria is d next on d agenda of the imperial empire of death.

yet our political fools cum leaders seemed ignorant of this naked reality.

They refuse to give us ebola vaccine for no reasons, yet the dead brains in Aso rock still went to them for military weapons to deal with boko haram, when every reasonable person knows that the creator of terrorism is the US. And of course, they refuse to sell to us.

yet our leaders cant c d hand writing.

and now this import cut.

And believe u me, the retards in Aso Rock would keep going back to the one that is ochestrating its destruction.

But God is watching....

Akbee:
Barack Obama is not a true son of Africa cos if he was he wudnt introduce foreign policies which are against the interests of blacks..we supported him during his first n second term presidential bids n he won.Thank goodness he hasn't got a chance anymore..infact,nobody wishes he was there.Americans r dissatisfied with him n so are our people too..black man black heartso they say.
the reason is not far fetched..
1.nigerian government prohibition of gay acts
2.Nigeria's position as the biggest economy in Africa.
3.The inability of the US government to exert influence on Nigeria like before.
4.Nigeria's image has bn tarnished to an extent that outsiders stl believe that nothing good can come out from us..
5.corruption..

if no 1 is reversed the us govt wud likely mk a u turn... HOWEVER,I see that as a blessing in disguise.. this has really tot our leaders a lesson that we shud not put our eggs in one basket.cudnt we look for an alternative buyer at the right time?
must we keep exporting crude oil at cheap prizes to other countries n stl buy the refined products at exorbitant prizes while our refineries can handle it..wl local production of petroleum products not provide jobs opportunities for the teeming unemployed masses?

you are spot on.
The US had never been a friend. Gowon said this d other time that, we must not completely see d US to be a friend. Because, during the civil war, when Nigeria asked them to sell weapons to us, they blatantly refuse. It was d Russians that sold us weapons.
Then came ebola. The wicked souls refused to give us the trial vaccine. But God came down and ,despite our poor health facilities, we were able to defeat ebola.
Meanwhile, boko haram came bombing and killing. and once again,we asked the suppose leader on the war on terror to sell weapons to us, and as usual, they refuse, citing some garbage reasons.

Now comes this economic cut off. what else do we need to know that THE US had never wanted our prosperity rather, our brakeup?

we know that our government is corrupt, but given d above analysis, couple with d facts surrounding this sudden cut off from trade, one can say this is not just about corruption, because we have been corrupt for long, and they have been doing normal business with our corrupt government and agencies for long. why d sudden change? why where we singled out as d nation to stop buying oil from, since they say they are now producing more locally.then why did they increase thier level of import from the other nations, even when thier oil value is far below ours?

I believe the US have a hidden agenda.
Infact, i wont be surprise should there occur a false flag operation down here.

all d same, i dont blame them. if not for the bastards we have as leaders, who are corrupt to the tilt and does not care to develop this nation, we wouldnt be facing all this rubbish.
And this has also go to show dat we need to diversify d ecoomy. we must go back to agriculture and stop depending on oil.
i believe we are paying d price for not joining the gay party of d United States of Satan. Hence, they cant help us in any form, or even do business with us. Otherwise, i dont c any other reason why they are behavind like this.
when u stand up against the empire, get ready to fight.

Jonathan is just begining to taste a doze of what it takes to say No to uncle sam....

@Appleyard.......The Aglo-American Zionist backed empire is going down.
When you see an empire resorting to brutal force to maintain control ,then it is a clear sign of decline - it is just a matter of time.

A country with 5% of the world population spending 50% of the world's military budget alone speaks volumes of her relevance military force apart.

In fact ,if not for the use of military force the US and her allies has nothing ,absolutely nothing to threaten any emerging power.Though that force is always a facade the real strength is the economy which is now undergoing a serious threat.
The question is when will the fall happen?

you are spot on, brother. for throughout history, no empire has excaped collaps, neither immuned against it.
Right from the egyptian empire, to the alexandrian empire, the greecian empire, the roman empire, the tsarist/soviet nioun,...just name them. all have paid for d various or specific crimes committed against humanity, at a particular point in time, and under particular circumstances. But i am telling u (and the mouth of the lord had ,through His various prophets and seers,both present and in time past, declared it) that, the collaps and demise experienced by all the previous empires, shall be nothing compare to what will befall the UNITED STATE OF SATAN LED ANGLO-ZIONIST EMPIRE OF DEATH AND TERRORISM. For none have committed more actrocities and have brought much pains and anguish to various people of the world than this present empire.

The 'United States of torture' and its NATO war machine have killed, and are still killing,maiming and anihilating millions of people accross d globe, under fabricated and outright lies and deceptive thrump up pretext. Iraq is a notable example, where millions of children and women were massacred. The horrors of this evil empire has, in no doubt, dwaft the outcome of the holocaust, and is making Hitler feel jealous where ever he is right now.

The evils of this empire are unparalled. from selfish and satanic economic embargoes aimed at crippling and weakening percieved enemy, to sponsoring of 'colour revolutions' and 'false flag' opretaions and choas in many nations that would not join the satanic new world order (hegemon). And where all these fails, they resort to assasinations, kidnapings, torture, and war.

But in thier satanic quest for global hegemon, they have forgotten something...there are cosmic rules put in place by the creator.... and there is time for everything....

A time to thrive and a time to be judge....
And now, the time is here..

This time , the empire has overplayed its cards...

many nations are now turning away from the empire's main economic weapon...The dollar.. the begining of the end...

False flag operation over Ukrain aimed at taming and destroying the 'Bear', has failed woefully...
The 'bear and the dragon' are now moving to full alignment.. and many nations are joining the fray under the auspices of the BRICS and the SCO summits..

The countdown to judgement and recompence has began...

Look towards the East... from thence cometh the death of the last empire...

The US do not understand Africa let alone Nigeria

True strength do not rest on numbers but brain.

Unknown to US what is keeping Africa down is a faulty colonial structure that placed retrogressive African tribes over progressive African tribes.

The fact remains that even if Nigeria breakup, the progressive Nigerian tribes will form an alliance with each other and any other progressive African tribe in other African countries to protect their interest against neocolonialism.

you are very correct, brother. Faulty colonial structures are indeed, d bane of Africa development, especially in the economic and political arena. Take for example, the British policy of 'Divide and Rule', that policy effectively hampered, if not destroyed, what u rightly called the progressive African tribes, which in this case, can better be likened to 'the overall progressive economic and political system and development'. This is because, the policy made use of 'local chiefs (that is to say, regressive economic and political elements) in place of d 'educated elites',(that would have served as progressive political and economic elements). And The result is d chaos of today. Clashes of 'class interest', where some now believe they are born to rule.
Also, Blatant eroding and redrawing of national or regional boundaries and subsequent forced almagamation of protectorates by colonial masters, with little or no regards to issues of peaceful coexistence of the almagamated colonies, in line with thier capability to survive on the long run, hence, the conflicts here and there, are primary reasons why Africa is still downthrodden.

[quote author=Truckpusher post=28609489]All the coupes that took place in Africa in the late 60s and early 80s were all sanctioned by the US using the CIA.
After independence they became afraid that most African nations might go for communism.This fear ,paranoia and wanting to control Africa led to the assassination of most west African civilian and military heads of states that has refused some of their economic policies to fly.
Where you aware that Muritala Mohamed was assassinated by colonel Dimka shortly after the throwing out of the yanks from the juicy Nigerian steel industrial revolution master plan by his government,the moment he gave the contract to the Russians his fate was sealed .This is one reason why that old ota farmer needed to dumped out from Nigeria's politics today.They have betrayed this country beyond repair for their own selfish interest.

Yes. The same thing they did to Gadafi immediately He started making plans to dump the the use of d DOLLAR, by demanding for gold as payment for international transactions. I personally think we should get ready for such scenario here in Nigeria and in places like Angola, Brazil South Africa, uruguay, and such other nations that are making move to stop using d dollar and d unfavourable economic policies of the west. It's already happening against Russia through the Ukrainian western backed coup and d MH17 false flag operation, and d subsequent sanctions. China is also having a dose of d 'hegemon's empire backlash for its 'going back to gold standard' chorus, as it now has to deal with what has been proved ro be a 'colour revolution' in Hong kong.
Such is the nature of the US led Anglo-Zionist world hegemon. 'Challenge our policies and be destroyed', By means of their CIA controlled western main stream media and NATO war machine. Where they could not carry out all out war under some well fabricated pretext, they introduce crippling economic sanctions. And where such sanctions fails to change d course of events, then they resort to media demonization followed by a well ochestrated 'colour revolution'.
The Empire is a 'living death' to any natural or juristic personality or geographical entity that would not play ball.

[quote author=akin707 post=28618811]What is on my mind concerning the above subject matter:

On my mind are plenty things concerning the issue at hand, but i will sum it up this way......sometime ago the US of A came out with a damning report about the disintegration(break up) of Nigeria in 2015, this report came out sometime before we had the insurgence of Boko Haram on this scale.
The report had in it parameters that would eventually brings about the "Break up" of Nigeria in 2015, Do the maths and see for yourself.
The USA and other fellow collaborators has agenda to break up emerging economy in Africa, they have partly succeeded in some part of the world where there are infighting between the govt and militias or terrorist organisations( which you prefer to call them) that are "sponsor" by the west to destabilize these countries.
l dare submit that Untill we take back "Our" country from the claws of the American and its allies just as china and the Asian did then we are in for a long ride.
Let us stop this tribalism,corruption, fighting, etc these are what the west want.

Godbless u man. u just spoke my mind as well. The earlier we recognize this, d better for us as a nation. for many nations of d world have come to realize that to be truely independent and sovereign, one have to free itself from d shackles of the anglo-zionist empire of of chaos and economic slavery. Thats d reason many nations like brazil, southafrica,india,russia,china, and recently. agentina,peru and nigeria, to mention but a few, are turning from d use of d dollar as a global currency for trade and foreign reserve. Even Angola is not left out. Why are they all doing this? because they have discovered d truth.
CIA MEDIA CONTROL MAIN STREAM MEDIA LIES has been fooling people for long, but cant fool all of the people all d time. The days of d empire are numbered. for the truth is treason in d empire of lies.

CityNG:
My command of the queens English is superior to yours, I specifically choose my words.

I justify the USA. The 220,000 Nigerians that applied for US visa last year also justifies the USA.


Your reasoning ability is clouded by moronic nationalism. USA is not your enemy, your own political leaders are your direct enemy.

I am truely appalled by ur response underlined with insults, even when my previous quote never constituted any form of malice to provoke u. Anyway. i understand that, we as humans, have different views and thoughts shaped along a defined ideological and perceptive inference of the world and events therein. ,As a result, i am bound by these inate principles of mutual respect to reply in d opposite manner, so as not to generate strife and unnecessary war of words. For two wrongs does not make a right, sir.
ur reasons for justifying the USA, are indeed, correct and sensible, even though most nations of d world dont deny people visas, except for genuine and specific reasons. All d same, d US, along with France and d UK, ARE CLEARLY IN D LEAD HERE.
But d point am trying to make here is that, the behaviour of the USA, since d boko haram issue started, is a a cause for concern. As a nation that appears to be in d lead in fighting terrorism, one would expect them to help, not d other way round. why wont one suspect them? they have continually stressed d eventual breakup of Nigeria, The straw that broke the camel's back, was our refusal to recognize d gay right of a thing. Since then, we have been treated with disdain. They refuse to sell us weapons, under d excuse of human right violation by our army, as if thiers are not guilty as well, in places like iraq, vietnam, serbia etc. and what abt that ebola vaccine? would giving it to us have constituted any human right violations? u c why some of us are classifying them as enemies?
well, like u rightly said, our government dont help matters as well. if not for corruption on thier part, the army wont be in this mess.
Thanks.
