Lol...are u shocked?..it just shows how people reason. When WHO was calling the World's attention to the humanitarian crisis in tigray region, nobody donate Bitcoin
Even CNBC Africa on FreeTv carried the crisis in tigray region for a while.
Forget it bros.... Nigeria's don't like to admit their fvkup or accept the truth.
How many of us even pray for states being plagued by bandits, BH, KillerHerdsmen, etc.
chronique: Who doesn't know there's been war in Ethiopia? How come people are aware there's war in Ukraine but are not aware of the one in Ethiopia that has been raging for long? I'd be really surprised though that people do not know there's war in Ethiopia.

MangekyoAlt: You don't like russians because they oppress sovereign nations? I challenge you to go and start reading the history of USA. I almost guarantee you that you will start liking the russians, as do I. Because like you, I used to be brainwashed into thinking the russians are the bad guys.
The USA did much, much worse than Russia is currently doing. The western media's tries to cover all of it and I'll tell you they actually succeeded. But then, if you go deep, you will definitely see books or even articles that explain their brutal history.
Anyway, since you claim russia doesn't respect other countries sovereignty. Let me give you a few examples of when USA attempted and did far worse of what Russia is currently doing with Ukraine. USA even killed their own citizens to make it seem like it is other "sovereign" countries that did it, to justify invasion.
in 1898, for instance, the US exploded USS Maine in Havana killing 266 American mariners to blame and declaring war on Spain.
Please I advice you to Google operation north woods. Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation against American citizens that originated within the US Department of Defense of the United States government in 1962. The proposals called for the CIA operatives to both stage and actually commit acts of terrorism against American military and civilian targets , blaming them on the Cuban government, and using it to justify a war against Cuba. Ukraine...sound familiar??
Now you see that Cuba that I mentioned? That country Don see hell fire for USA hand. I'm willing to write about the suffering that was meted upon them by USA, but I'll leave that for another day. Let me talk about NATO, USA, RUSSIA & UKRAINE.
So many of you nairalanders actually think Russia is the aggressor and the cause of the current tension. Well that is false! NATO and the USA are both the problem. Here do you know why? Well, the West been led by the USA had been expanding its DS Military infrastructure footprint throughout Europe; deploying NATO nuclear missiles, U.S. missile defense systems and special forces along Russia’s doorstep. Putin hasn’t been toppling governments in Eastern Europe, installing proxies, or deploying Russian missiles and Soviet defense systems. As you nairalanders make it seem. It’s been the West, moving East. Since the end of the Cold War, the West has been systematically cutting Russia off from the rest of the world, using NATO.
What’s happening in Ukraine today is the same thing that happened in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. please go and read about the Cuban missile crisis if you can. America put nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey. The Soviet Union ‘RESPONDED’ by putting missiles in the Caribbean (via submarines) and Cuba. America learned about the Soviet missiles in the Caribbean and Cuba and freaked out bc of the extremely close proximity of the Soviets’ military infrastructure. With Soviet missiles that close, America would not have sufficient time to analyze, evaluate and respond to a potential threat. America went nuts, demanded the Soviets immediately remove the missiles. The Soviets had made the same complaints and demands about America’s nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey. The United States said those missiles were defensive. After the Soviets responded in kind putting the same in the Caribbean and Cuba, America said the missiles were an aggressive threat. The Cuban Missile Crisis had begun. The Soviets were not the aggressors, they were the respondent. The United States wasn’t having it and began plans to invade Cuba, put 100,000 plus troops on Florida beaches, set up an illegal Naval blockade in the Caribbean blocking all ships from reaching Cuba and the United States, flew Spy Planes over Cuba (which got shot down, killing Air Force Pilot Rudolph Anderson). The U.S. also attacked Soviet submarines which were lawfully patrolling in international water and hadn’t fired on anyone. Pretty hypocritical, right? The Soviets were simply responding in kind, and refused to back down. In the end, in order to avoid nuclear war, America agreed to remove its nuclear missiles from Italy and Turkey, and thereafter the Soviets agreed to remove its missiles from Cuba, restoring the status quo and balance of power to the position the parties were in before America dramatically expanded its military footprint. Today, we see the EXACT SAME scenario happening. The West has been building up its NATO footprint, putting NATO weapons, nuclear missiles, missile defense systems and special forces in former Soviet states. Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan we’re a step too far for Putin inasmuch as this is literally on the doorstep of Russia. Putin has amassed his extraordinary military machinery and has told the world that NATO missiles are NOT going into Ukraine. Putin has also demanded the West remove its missiles from the former Soviet states surrounding Russia. Sound familiar! Putin will win this battle, NATO and the rest of the world will agree to restore the status quo and remove NATO missiles. If the Biden / NATO missiles currently on their way actually enter Ukraine, you will see Putin respond with the use of his vast military.

Glad to see someone who can see beyond the propaganda of western media. Kudos on the analysis boss. Western media and bloggers are 5&6.. How the Red Indians were relegated to Reversations in their own native land still baffles me to this day..
apacheguy: This is the mentality that has kept us on this terrible path. She influenced her posting to Abuja or not, let's first attack the corruption that has been identified, that has been proven beyond reasonable doubt and we'll talk about that later.
With this mentality of yours, what you're trying to say is that we fight any act of corruption since it is possible she influenced her posting to Abuja even though that assertion is yet to be proven
This ur premise is fundamentally flawed. Assuming she influenced the posting, then she has no moral justification to complain because she is a big part of the corruption. Second, we have only one side of this story. There is no way to assertain the authenticity of her claims.

I bought the TV 70K.
Please someone should help me out!

Bros..abeg leave that guy. Me sef don tire. Im reasoning na one way traffic.
neuf: I do know more than you, that's a fact. I don't know it all, that's another fact. is that clear enough for you?
you make statements that on the surface look to make sense but actually don't in any form.
What's Taiwan stand on the international scene that by virtue of backing them will increase US influence in Asia. Do you know how stubborn those Asians are when it comes to self pride and dignity. China can overrun Taiwan today and it won't do US any harm in Asia if they choose to fold their hand. How many countries do you think officially recognise Taiwan as a sovereign state.
dude you funny, talk about Taiwan is a tool of US influence in Asia. smh
Wow...to see u type so much, yet a singular and simple fact still eludes u baffles me.. At anyrate, have a blast with ur deep knowledge, I have grown weary of this unproductive banter. Cheers!

Make dem nor go block ur main account. Use ur main gmail for DAN, Afternic, Epik, etc. but create different email for outbounding
neuf: Before we proceed, I've never claimed to know it all.
You're asking questions that shouldn't be asked in the first place. Who does anything for free? Reason why I asked how many pro bono work you have done?
they drills are to enhance cooperation between different Navies and show of strength among allies.
About Myanmar, that's China ally and guess whose side China is on? the military not the civilian that wants civil rule so why bring the US into it.
As long as things stay the way they are, the dollar will remain the international currency of exchange which is all the US care about.
Have you ever heard the US go all out to subjugate Canada and Mexico to its will? There's a reason for that. But instead of China to look to do the same, they are following Russia lead of their to form boss to its neighbors giving the US the perfect scenario for alliances.
Like what's really in Ladakh that China can't come to amicable agreement with India thus opening door for an alliance. Must Taiwan reunite with mainland China? if they are so bend on 16th century map, why don't they use horses for transport? South China Sea? They are having troubles with potential allies over something trivial.
Pari passu, the Gulf of Mexico is rich in natural resources just like the South China Sea but did you see the US go all out the fight Mexico over it? no. because something that trivial will open US backyard to its enemies.
But China and Russia will fight its neighbors over everything and then turn around to blame the West when those neighbors seek alliance to stop the bully and you guys will buy the propaganda
Well then..since you have agreeded that u don't know it all, for posterity sake...simply state ur facts and avoid statements that border on the quality or quatity of knowledge we both possess. Be that as it may, if u had understood my opening statement in the first quote "US is more concerned about their influence in Asia", it could have saved us this unnecessary banter. I believe u now understand that the US would seize every opportunity to increase their alliances and sphere of influence in other regions..a useful method of checkmating any perceived or growing threat. Taiwan is just another tool.
neuf: ogbeni read to understand. You came here claiming the US doesn't have Taiwanese interest at hand but it's because of the same US Taiwan is still standing. So what if they are pulling strings, how does that not imply that they have Taiwanese interest at hand.
China is world power with how many allies?.... seriously how do you people think US is recognised as a world power. Do you think it's only because of military and economic might? You still have a lot to learn before coming to say what you clearly don't have an idea about.
You talk about Iraq but won't talk about the liberation of Kuwait from the hands of Iraq or the ending of Al Qaeda from the Middle East.
You mention Afghanistan but won't say anything about how the citizens of Afghanistan risked their own life to get on the last plane of the "invader" just to leave the "peaceful" Talibans reign. You won't mention the women that have been forced to stop working or the girls that have been stopped from acquiring education.
Like I said earlier, what exactly are u saying cause all you have done is not say anything
Awe!..u are going too far. Let's keep it within what's trending. But ofcourse, feel free to enlighten me since you know it all. Let me put it in a simpler way for u to understand...US "protection" of Taiwan also favors them. It would be naive of you to say the US is doing it pro bono .. If the US isn't bothered about China's growth/influence in Asia, why all fuss?..why empower its neighbors?..why all the naval military drills with Australia and Japan. U think US would expend that much time and resources just because they "love" the pple of Taiwan?..or u think US alliance with S.Korea is just because the love Korea movies?..expand ur perspective bro.. Saudi Arabia has been pelting Yemen with bombs for years..what has Uncle Sam done?..What has uncle Sam done abt the military junta in Myanmar?. Anyway..if u still don't understand the case in point, don't bother to quote/reply me. Peace..
Trentee4eva: Why did you US instigate a coup against the democratically elected President of Ukraine in 2014? Same thing they did in Georgia. Because they were friendly to Russia. They tried same in Turkey and Kazakhstan recently. The US and the West are evil. The current Ukrainian President is their puppet. Look at the way they killed Gadaffi and shared the oil wells in Lybia. I guess you haven't heard of the Cuba missile crisis when Russia had their missiles there. America wanted to invade Cuba because of it.
Most pple think it's just abt "Russia invading Ukraine"...the kind of international politics being played here is beyond us. Uptill now, no WMD has been found in Iraq, yet US conveniently invaded a "sovereign" nation like Iraq. Same "sovereignty" that was cast aside when France lauched air assaults against Libyan military forces for months.
neuf: US doesn't have Taiwan interest yet because of them Taiwan is still an independent country. Because of them Japan and Australia have pledged to defend Taiwan sovereignty. South Korea will soon join in the defense of Taiwan.
what exactly are you saying?
if I may ask, you as an individual with less responsibilities other than your immediate environment, how many pro bono work have you been doing for people?
And u think the strings of these countries u have mentioned isn't being pulled by uncle Sam? China is an emerging, if not already established world power in Asia. A growing threat to US and it's influence in Asia. As always, US would rather neutralize China using it's close neighbors than go all out. Sovereignty means nothing to world powers... Iraq, Afghan and Libya comes to mind. It would be naive to think US is offering Taiwan "security" pro bono.
Nicenixon: you gerrit, nothing will happen. EU cannot nuke Russia and Russia cannot nuke EU, everything na show off, every year madness, China go still display their own madness on border of Taiwan too.
..No be lie u talk. Europe doesn't want to go to war with Russia. if the war go down, na all of Europe (Russia Included) to suffer am..US go just dey give press release as usual. N.Korea don fire more than 2 missiles, but US no get their time for now. Na Putin dey in focus. Las las compromise must go down.
neuf: they are not erecting anything in secret oga. it's all in the open. they are sending weapons and economic aids to Ukraine to defend themselves just like they are doing for Taiwan and have been doing all over the world.
jeez
Chairman..the US is more concerned about their influence in Asia than the interest of Taiwanese, anything beyond that is for the masses. They already have Japan, cozing up to Australia, New Zealand and India...u don't need a soothsayer to know why.
Now let's look at it from this perspective ..former USSR nations are joining NATO which I believe would provide a form of umbrella protection against future invasion from Russia. At the same time, Russia is concerned about NATO allied US amassing too much power along it's corridor. Under NATO's weapon sharing treaty, US can decide so set up missle silos in Ukraine... Russia has every right to be concerned. Forget all the hype..all the players just want to protect their interest.
Davefed: Since the tension arose I've noticed that UN haven't say anything concerning perceived Invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Ukraine is an independent and a sovereign nation And also a member of United Nation. Any Invasion of Ukraine by Russia will strip her sovereign status. The UN charter has so far against FOREGIN Invasion of another state and requires collective responds by all members to detter the potential aggressor. So far the issue of possible invasion of Ukriane, UN has far being silent and haven't say anything in relation with the issue. EU has taken the issue up but UN has been behind curtain with no appropriate respond to protect Ukrianias from losing her independent. UN is truly a toothless dog when the game nations play involve Bull dogs and can flex muscle when the weaker states are involved in International politics... If Russia invade Ukraine it will set another precedent in International politics in which China will follow suits in annexing Hongkong and Taiwan. It's reality that what sovereignty makes equal, power makes unequal. Following the trends with postive anticipation of Diplomatic manovering .
Political arm twisting going on at the moment. International Chess. Russia is currently the highest supplier of gas to Europe. Nord Stream 2 is set to double that. Recently read in the news that US is in talks with Qatar to consider supplying gas to Europe. They are about to ban supply of chips to Russia, but I'm sure Russia will turn to Asian tech coys to solve that. Meanwhile, Putin is sipping vodka and playing silent while US is making all the noise. I personally believe UN and EU are useless. Anyway...what's ur take on the China-Tiawan-US side of things.
coolhumble: So the first time I saw this news here maybe posted by you or not I can't really remember. I then contacted my friend in Ukraine and he told me its not real and he shared a news of putin denying it to me and since that time I stopped believing this.
Its not a matter of Putin's denial, cos he can invade Ukraine overnight. The question is, who do we believe.. Putin...I'm not planning to invade Ukraine. US/Western media...Putin will invade Ukraine soon. Already we know NATO has sent weapon to Ukraine, US has mobilzed close to 100k soldiers to be deployed by NATO. So who is whipping up all the war frenzy.
midastouch: Your eyes sharp and your heart pure die. Russia is simply protecting itself.
Exactly what Russia is trying to prevent. Having America allied forces at ur front door. If US and Russia go to war 2moro... Ukraine will simply be a forward operating base for the US/NATO. EU is just useless Same thing China is trying to avoid with Taiwan. But since US cannot use NATO on China, they are pushing The Quad against China.. But ofcourse this is what western analyst will never admit.
MadamExcellency: NATO is a union, an alliance and not a country and moreover, Russia is not USSR but a homogeneous country.
Any Russian can be a US citizen if he/she wishes but not so for a Russian citizen.
Russia is an authoritarian leadership that can wage war against the wishes of its majority citizens.
So u want Russia to sit idle and watch Ukraine become more powerful than them?..They simply want to protect their future interest. You and I know UN and NATO belong to US.
