This will backfire big time because this was what he said at the Munich Security Conference in 2022, Zelensky was talking up getting nukes. Harris was at that event and said nothing.
A couple of weeks later, the SMO.
I feel now that the Russians would use this opportunity to eliminate Zelensky. The man just dug his grave.

Are you kidding ?

Tell me one country that can stand up to the Americans besides the Russians
Even the Chinese are no match for the Americans

The very existence of a such a country will forever give the US sleepless night
If Russia is not balkanized, it'll forever remain a nightmare for the Yankees.
That's a brief explanation of the obsession they have for the Russians
Is that not worse than wishing death on them ?
You simply do not have a grasp of what is at play here.

Why should the US wish for the demise of Russia?

Why must Russia be balkanized for the US to live?

And you think after Russia, what you called the US obsession would stop and everything would just return to normal?

No.

They will still crave for more blood and wars.

China will be next.

After that comes Indian.

And the cycle continues.

It is called psychopathic hegemony. It's the terminal disease that plagues every hegemonistic empire, especially one founded on the principles of
Oligarch or Corporate capitalism.


Such always needs a Boogeyman, a reason, an excuse, an enemy...thus the existence of wars, chaos, and economic upheavals. The only way it can preserve the status quo, secure its hegemonistic position, and remain relevant from ages to ages.

There is only one possible sane cure to this madness.

A multipolar world based on new rules to counter and checkmate the excesses of the hegemon.

Where that fails, there is just one option left, and it's not a sane one.

The complete annihilation of the hegemon.

⚡The Head of the State Duma defense committee commented on the possibility of Ukraine creating nuclear weapons.

It is absolutely impossible; they do not have the competences, materials and equipment. Statements that nuclear weapons can be made from waste for nuclear fuel are fairy tales for the poorly educated, said Andrey Kartapolov.

He added that Ukraine could make a "dirty bomb", but Russia is considering all possibilities.

If we assume that it can be given to them secretly, then this is also excluded, because there is a certain technique that allows you to immediately determine where the special ammunition was created. So goodbye America then, added Andrey Kartapolov.
It is only mad people that would wish Ukraine to have nukes right now.

Just the threat of Britain giving Ukraine permission to strike deep into Russia with waste uranium-tipped missiles instantly prompted Russian nuclear subs to take striking position close to UK waters. Imagine what would happen if a nuke was secretly delivered to the Ukros. The preemptive nuclear strikes on American and NATO military infrastructures would be unimaginable as such that even Satan would be thanking God he wasn't the target for the Russian Satan 2 and many other nuclear strikes platforms.

This is why just as Ghost left EU to look for employees here, mega western companies prefer to outsource millions of jobs to developing countries. Nobody said he's doing anyone a favor.

Why should a BSC degree holder settle for a ₦30k job?

What happened to the knowledge he gathered in 4 years?

Why even go to school just to come settle for ₦30k monthly salary?

Conductors earn more than ₦30k monthly.

Even block carriers for site earn more than ₦5k per day for site.
What do you expect people to do when there are no jobs out there to accommodate their qualifications?

Maybe you should rephrase your questions to why should a BSc holder be riding Okada balance and take?

Why should someone that graduated from the university been carrying blocks or clearing bushes for people just to survive?

At the end of the day, the answer is the same; the Nigerian labour market is a destiny killer.

Where there are no jobs to accommodate thousands of qualified graduates yearly, majority of the few ones available would only pay way below expectations. Some graduates settled for the poor pay because it's not everyone that is jobless that has the strength and physic to carry blocks and earn 5k daily.

How on earth are you guys comparing low level with no real NCE qualification teaching jobs with a professional job?

Haba, una dey logical at all?

You're even using your salary of 2011 at ₦5000 as an example!

Were you a qualified teacher in the first place?

Make una no dey argue by comparing apples with oranges.

Most of una no even sabi wetin Cyber security stands for.

Any SSCE holder can work any mushroom schools scattered around town.
I think you're getting the whole thing mixed up.

The pay at $50 is low, and we have already alluded to that.

But did you noticed that some are already jumping at the offer? Why?

Because it's still better than what some businesses in Nigeria pays monthly. So far, you're the only one that has directly jumped on the offer, and your reasons for that are valid.

Citing my experience back in 2011 was just an example, and not a comparison to the status of Cyber Security.

Brother, believe it, there are thousands of graduates in Nigeria with excellent qualifications that are working and getting paid peanuts. The private school issue was just one part of the example, and is not like all private schools does the same thing.

The fact remains that his offer is low.

This was exactly my thought. $50 is in fact very, very, very reasonable compared to what Nigerian firms offer here. I served in a factory in Kano during my NYSC and till date, those guys pay 40k per month to people who are frequently getting exposed to dangerous chemicals. Private schools are the worst
I once taught in a private school in Benin City in 2011 while I was undertaking my degree program in law. I entered with my OND certificate in accounting though.

Guess how much I was paid for two months.

I swear to God... 5000 Naira. grin

Vis a vis what he's seeking na.

Cyber security....

Do you know what it takes to be a cyber security professional? (One of the highest paid IT jobs on earth) It's not some road side profession bro.

Only school certs would accept ₦30k as salary

No qualified teacher would accept ₦30k as salary.


Let's called a spade a spade.
Like I said, the pay is low, no doubt. But when you have converted that amount to Naira, is still better than what some businesses pay here in Nigeria.

You used the word 'Qualified' teacher. That's the difference.

But, should an OND, HND, or BSc degree holder be subjected to 30,000 Naira just because they're not qualified with degrees in Education?

In Delta state where I live, many private school teachers are graduate they're paid in that price range.

Notwithstanding, that starting price of $50 is low, especially in this period of inflation.

It's like this man is high on TNT. Supply them and watch Iskanders rain on your precious infrastructures.
Do you know that last month, Russian nuclear attack submarines moved into striking positions close to UK waters after the UK was on the verge of giving Ukraine the weapons (some of which were to be tipped with uranium deposits) and the permission to strike deep into Russia soil?

The plan was to destroy the weapon producing factories (including the one producing storm shadows) in the UK and several military targets, after which the Russians would immediately carry out and release the video of a nuclear strike test on a remote island to demonstrate its readiness and immediate tendency to nuke anyone that dares a counter strike of any kind. A video of the nuke strike test would then be released immediately after the strike on targets in Britain.

Guess what?

Upon discovering the Russian subs and the leaked Intel of the whole arrangement (which the Russians made sure it's available via the open line channel with Pentagon), the mouth yapping British prime minister and his chest-beating military heads quickly withdrew their plans and their statements. grin

⚡Zelensky presents the "Victory Plan" in the Verkhovna Rada, which consists of 5 points and 3 secret additions.

1. Inviting Ukraine to NATO right now.

2. Defense (We need to increase our own production, as well as increase aid from Western partners).

3. "Ukraine proposes to deploy on its soil a comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrence package, which will be enough to protect Ukraine from any military threat from Russia."


4. Economic (in particular, limiting oil prices and exports).

5. "After the war, we will have one of the most experienced military contingents. People who have military experience, experience working with international weapons. This is a guarantee of security in Europe. This is a worthy mission for our Heroes."

"The Victory Plan is a guarantee that the madmen in the Kremlin will lose the ability to continue the war. Russia must lose control over Ukraine forever."

"If the plan is supported, we can end the war no later than next year," Zelensky says.
Truly, coke is bad for the health of this man.

If not, he would have realize that his number one point is dead on arrival.

His number 3 point can never exist in this world or the next to come. The Russians would make certain of that.

His number four point is even more pathetic reading it. The likes of the US wants more oil inflow into the market to push down the rising price, but the coke sniffer wants to get them up running by limiting oil export. Stupid has never been this stupid.

And it gets worse when you realize from his number two proposal that Zelensky believe the EU has a bottomless appetite to continue funding this war in Infinity, at a time when many of his European partners are already running dry and suffocating in fatigue aiding and abetting the Ukro Nazis.

It would be far better to have a thief as your president because, he even would be guided by some basic principles howbeit small to preserve the life and continuation of the environment where he is stealing from, than to have a clown as your president.

And with the high class Russia has so far demonstrated with his Intel, I wonder what in God's paradise makes the clown think the Kremlin doesn't know what is in his three secret points.

Moreover, jobs of that nature doesn't always require people to work around the clock or on every working day.

Maariv Hebrew newspaper:

The drone disaster that transpired at the Golani base and its aftermath have left a sense of helplessness and frustration, in addition to immense pain.

The inability to counter the drones is, in fact, a direct continuation of the failure of October 7, a failure resulting from mental deficiency, arrogance, ignorance of the facts, and the illusion that the enemy is deterred, lacks courage, and that everything is in order.

The question that arises is how could an intelligent, modern army, equipped with the best multi-layered air defense system in the world, with the best missiles, aircraft, and more, not have a response to drones?

We have said it here before; drone technology changed the face of modern warfare.

No matter how big and powerful you are, some drones will always sneak their way into their target. The Ukraine-Russian war is the only war in modern history where drone technology has been used massively by both parties in the conflict. And from what will have seen so far, it's safe to say that while advanced missiles like the ones on hypersonic glide vehicles remain the most potent and brutal standoff strike weapon on the battlefield, drones are the most problematic and frustrating to handle because they (majority of attack drones) flies very low, making them difficult to detect and counter, and they usually come in a swarm, which guarantees that one or two would scale through no matter how.

The last point is even more frustrating for the receiving enemy: the majority of them are cheap in so much that even when the defending enemy is able to bring them down, it would be doing so at a very high cost, which, in most cases, is fifty to one hundred times higher compared to the cost of each single drone.

So, it is more painful if an enemy scores a major damage from a drone than when the damage was from a bomb.

It is the Lord's doings that Israel isn't sharing borders with countries like Iran; that place for don burn finish by the likes of Mr. shaheed and brother Lancet.

Even till date, those damn piece of metals are still giving Zelensky sleepless nights despite the highly layered Ukrainian defense setup.

Plus the Ukros have used water based drones to score some great hits against the Russians.

Drones respect nothing and nobody.
