You are right.
Israel has Nukes but do not want Iran to have. That sounds unfair. Isn't it?

But let's be frank.
How many terrorist groups has Israel financed.

The world feels safe with Israel having Nukes. But do you think the world would feel same way if Iran has it?

A sincere mind would understand what I'm driving at
I see your point but this is one of the many reasons there will never be peace in the middle east.

They dont want Iran to have nuke because they are bad.. but the good guys with nuke "israel" attacked Iran unprovoked and killed Iranian citizens in their own country and some of them top government officials

Russia can't enter...Ukraine has choked their neck...they lost 1000,000 soldiers....and north korean soldiers have ran away.

US is well polished with no current conflict in and their economy is doing well. Qatar, UAE just dumped 1trillion in their economy.

Russia army busy in Ukraine right now.

Russia is not as dumb as many nairalanders
When countries collaborate, it doesn't necessarily mean sending manpower or equipments.. it might be sending them leads.. every country in the top usually have files and spies.. that they could share with their counterparts and allies if need be to target their opposition.. or there guys could collaborate in research and building new equipment.. just like the U.S and Israel with the iron dome etc..

And you expect Israel to be scared??

Or you want USA to start shaking? In as much as I love mother Russia, I don't think this makes any difference in the ongoing crises.

So far Middle East is concerned, we have just two powerful nations and that's Saudi and Israel, the rest can hug transformers
It does make a little difference.. if Russian assets (in the nuclear plants) are attacked, then Russian enters the war..

That's not a scenario we want to see play out.

I hope and pray for peace not just in the middle east but all over the world.. but Iran could stand on their feet in terms of wars.. they have been doing it long before many countries came into existence.. it is in their blood.. do you know how many times Israel have been exiled from their own land?

But not withstanding, Israel's military might can't be overlooked.

Russia? Ever since they were the Soviets, they have always been head to head against the west.. Put in might have something on Trump thus slowing the response from the west - to an extent.

So international politics is not just what we see online.. it is deeper than we know..

This is getting interesting..

As Israel is trying to drag U.S in a war.. Iran is trying to drag in Russia too .. grin

This might be the end as we know it grin

Day dreaming of the highest order.
Let Iran multiply itself times twelve, Israel will bring them down.

Before Israel started the offencive, they have weighed all likely responses and must have gotten themselves prepared.

All these are gragra
I am curious though, Israel does have nuclear weapons.

Why dont they want Iran to have one?

After the Hamas attack on Oct 7, and Israel retaliated, okay , I get it .. but why would Isreal attack Iran unprovoked?

Babangidapikin:
The painful part is that the trouble makers are hiding inside a bunker . I think Israel insulted President Trump by not accepting the part of peace and negotiation... They should just not assume Iran doesn't have a loaded Nuclear Weapon. I still strongly believe President Trump would still have to step up and find a way to end all this escalation..
Recall, Trump was the one that cancelled the deal with Iran (for iran to stop its nuclear program), because Obama negotiated it.

He canceled the deal but didn't have a replacement for it.. now here we are..

franchasng:
As a Nigerian, Name 2 Things You Believe The President Should Do to Make Nigeria Better?


Just two major things you believe that once the President does it, Nigeria will become better than it is today?


Let's hear your views.
Stop rounding tripping in banks.

If anyone needs to send money to their suppliers abroad, or pay medical fees or their children's school fees. They should simply walk into their bank and their bank would deduct the money from their account and complete the wire transfer abroad using the official exchange rate.

I never understood why banks would tell there customers to go to BDC to buy dollar to deposit in a bank to effect a wire transaction, would the bank carry the actual cash to bank of China?? Why then would people need to source the actual cash to deposit in the bank to transfer money abroad?


2. Nigeria is too big and diverse to operate under federal system of government.

There should be a regional government, each region controls the affairs of their region and contribute certain percentage to the national coffers. Nigeria is too diverse to operate federal system of government.

I dont think it is because of his skin color, I think it is because of the country/continent of origin.

When bad leaders and bad youth give Nigeria a bad image.. it affects how people view us when conducting a legitimate business.

Foreign AffairsRe: Why Is Traoré Loved? Wode Maya Travels To Burkina Faso For Answers (Video) by Badgers14: 10:01am On May 10, 2025
Burkina Faso are building factories.. Nigeria is building universities after universities..

Where will the graduates work?

One quote i like about the video is..

AFRICANS CAN ONLY FIX AFRICA..

in the 1970s and 1980s some foreign leaders used to come to UI for medical reasons..

Fast forward 2000s till now.. our own leaders even don't want to be treated in a Nigerian hospital.

In Nigeria China owns everything.. they will take foreign loans and embezzle it and tag on a white elephant project that is meaningless to the population.. and that won't be ever completed.. grin

We have Lebanese , Indian and Chinese employees getting paid more than Nigerians while doing the same job.. they don't respect Nigerian workers either..

But again, we as Nigerians gotta do better.... many of us collect money and clean mouth for ground and the politicians will use them for their dirty work..

We as Nigerians sometimes support a politician based on tribe.. some tribe don't want another tribe to rule..

For us to succeed, we must set aside our differences so we can build Nigeria together.

Melagros:
COMRADES, my happiness is that, even the Muslims and the atheists also attended the funeral, this implies that the late Pope was a great man
Great man or not, that's not the reason.

The pope is a head of state (Vatican).. so it is a common courtesy for head of states/president's to attend a funeral of one of their own..

Some president sent representatives, some attended in person.

laptopsforsale:
Thank you very much for your detailed and inspiring post.

Yes, I have decided to take off the old existing foundation completely. The foundation of my desired building will be deeper and will cut across the existing foundation.

I also agree to your points about prioritising the internal part of the house and making it habitable, instead of being too focused on the externals of the house. It is a very good point

One way i am ensuring this is by leveraging a model I am sure works: I currently live (on rental) in a well-built, intentional, spacious and ventilated house and compound, so I think I will just work with an architect to replicate the plan of the house, with some modifications to suit my taste.
Cheers!!

Don't forget to invite us for the house warming party grin

Let's assume you are right and it is a set up. Is theft something he should fall for? If you have a child of 13 years and you put money on the table on purpose to see whether he will take it, if he takes it, are you going to still blame yourself for leaving the money on the table?


Rational reasoning disappears when we want to support foolish scenarios
Read the article well and use your common sense..

A masked man walking around in a restaurant, neither the restaurant manager, bus boy, server etc didn't ask questions??

A masked man walking past 2 secret service agents?

The alleged thief, name and picture not made public but he is in custody??

Her security details who let that happen unnoticed need to be questioned.
Maybe it was staged..

Similar to the first attempt on Trump assassination.. there are videos of the rally attendees informing law enforcement that there is a guy on the roof.. they ignored them..

No details provided about so called thief …. Makes it seem very likely they are lies to boost their anti immigration propaganda
Most likely, just like the when they arrested a guy that was allegedly was in the golf course to take out Trump.. the guy is from north carolina, not even from Florida..

moreover, Trump's visit to the golf course that day was not scheduled, it was impromptu.. but somehow the guy that was allegedly planning to take him out was in the golf course for 12 hours waiting for Trump to arrive?

Whats next on their list? A pregnant lady from Honduras that arrived in the U.S illegally to have her baby was arrested at the supreme court where she came to steal the judgment on the birthright citizenship??

Thousands of ordinary Americans experience this yearly, only reason this made the news is because of the person involved. High end restaurants are not as secured as y'all are led to believe grin grin
My doubt there is, out of every guest in the building.. the thief stole a purse of a DHS boss.. a masked man walked past secret service agents..walking into a restaurant where a DHS boss was dinning.. didn't raise any alarm?

Secret service agent just allowed a masked man to walk around a restaurant??

Neither the name nor the picture of the thief have been released..

The whole thing is starting to look staged. So an illegal immigrant just happened to snatch the purse of the boss of homeland security. Smells like BS
I say the same thing too.. the math is not mathing at all..

A masked man walked past 2 secret service agents on his way to steal a purse of a DHS boss?

Name of the suspect? Not released, picture , not released ..

How can a masked man just walk in a high end restaurant, go past her security detail to steal her purse??

I hope it was done with good intentions but I don't think I would encourage that..

Why, because it could create a bit of tension between the newly wed.. especially if the ex was finer and had more going on for her than the new wife... or for a guy, if the ex is doing well.. the married odogwu might be calculating okafors law in his head , trying to put to 2 and 2 together...
