frankson1:Fool enlighten me! Ode, you are not even worth an ounce of attention, intellectual scum, your mind is derelict and dilapidated, fix your crumbling faculties! |
BuddhaPalm:Do you understand military hardware technology at all? The advantage of an hypersonic missile is stealth and speed! It is almost impossible to intercept and less cost effective in comparison to ICBMs however can you compare the payload of munitions that an ICBM armed with a nuclear capacity can carry? There is no basis of comparison as they are weapons that serve very different purposes, one the weight class is so parallel the point of comparison becomes useless, the technology is so different I wonder the reason for your comparison! American Defense projects are mostly CLASSIFIED for a reason! Did you know the USA was developing the A-Bomb in WW2 until after deployment? STOP COMPARING A WORKING DEMOCRACY WHERE BUREAUCRACY AND CHECKS AND BALANCES does not allow for sensationalism and chest beating! Putin is a rabble rouser and American Democracy is PRESIDENTIAL, not just in name but also in functioning! |
Sltp:Lol what are you talking about, have you so trivialized economics that it has become analogous with the mundanity of a sexual penetration and withdrawal! You are talking about economic variables and indices like you are talking about a man ejecting himself from his wife during sex! You are actually more ignorant than I thought! Stop speaking vaguely, explain your point with particulars not sensational sophistry magnifying into gibberish! |
frankson1:Too dumb, all I can read is a rambling rant! Too pedestrian and beneath me, we are not intellectual equals!! |
KingOfAmebo:Another ignoramus wandering the virtual space with a bag full of lies and falsehood! The US DEFENSE spending annually is more than that of Russia, China and NATO combined! The humongous allocation is for what? Frivolities and avenue for embezzlement by greedy generals? Like you have in your homeland Nigeria! You blindly excoriate western journalism as either junk or propaganda but readily rely on Sputnik or Russia Today(RT) for credible news? The double standard is not half as nauseating as the objective fact that the Russian society is lacking of strengthened and independent institutions that guarantee the fundamentals of ideal journalism like the freedom and independence of the press, freedom and access to public information, enforcement of rights like freedom of speech, which are all ideals readily obvious and present in Western democracies! I wonder how countries like China and Russia where the press or media is an appendage of the government or an extension of government architecture primarily functioning as a conduit of propaganda has become the bellwether of True Journalism! The innovation of the US military is unrivaled and unequalled around the world and even superpowers like China still have to rely on intellectual espionage or IP theft of American Technology as a template for their own innovation! Why does Russia and China engage as state actors in acts of cyber warfare constantly against America if they are self sufficient with their technological prowess! Why constantly attempt to steal what you already own? Hypersonic weapons you claim America is still researching when unmanned drones are already being fitted with latest AI technology! Lol, Raytheon, Lockheed Martins and the likes are not just leaders in Military technology on paper! Read more and enlighten your ignorance, learn objectivity and an accommodation of divergent views avoid burying yourself in a debris of falsehood |
frankson1:Not worth my response, you are a sensationalist! I will not indulge! |
AFONJAPIG:What a pity! Poverty is truly crazy! I barely have Chinese products in my house and modestly I can tell you I have never used a Chinese mobile device! The American economy is larger than China’s with about 6 trillion dollars and you are even just talking GDP which is just one of the many other ways of determining the economic dominance of a country! These products you claim only have wide patronage in Asia and Africa which unfortunately is the poverty capital of the world and home to the world’a poorest populations! Even by your own admission it is the hefty price of these goods I enumerated that makes it unattractive to you or most people on these two continents, hence your choice of Chinese products over American is more of economic preservation rather than a preference for superior technology! Lol The standard for innovation in most industries are American products, before you start talking about Chinese dominance, have you ever heard of Chinese companies constructing roads in America, or the west? Or constructing buildings and sky scrapers? Why don’t you prefer to drive a Chinese car over an American muscle car for instance? Despite the hefty cost of the American automobile! Your moniker rightly describes you and I will not take a swim in your mud pool as it’s futile being dirtier than a pig |
AFONJAPIG:How many Chinese brand are you using? over the world Chinese electronics and products are derided as imitations! The Chinese still largely rely on Googles Android for all their phones, after all these years why has China found it difficult to provide a universally acceptable alternative to the Android OS? Why do you prefer Jordan’s, Nike, Iphone, Beats, Ford, Chevrolet, American Music and Movies, NBA, Dell, McIntosh, to ready Chinese alternatives? Why do you fly in a Boeing or Airbus rather than a Chinese airliner? Why are the rich Chinese buying up real estates in Hawaii, California, Florida and the likes? Why? Why are the most billionaires in dollars mostly American and not Chinese business men? Why? Why do you consume Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp and western social media when you can do tik tok, baidu, wechat and the likes? Sometimes I wonder if most of you even know what you talk about before you type! For years China has been a dumping ground of overused technology and prospered around the manufacturing these technology allowed! Stop hating without logic! Bias mixed with ignorance is a combustible combination |
Sltp:You know all that and you still think the Chinese economy is sanction proof, what does thinking a single tree qualifies to make or be a forest makes you? I am sure you know the answer in your head! As it is a foolhardy thought |
Sltp:You are a damn novice and it is pointless arguing with you as you have no understanding of economics! You are emotional and sentimental in your convictions like the energized rabble rousers on here always proclaiming Russian glory! Highlight the indispensable economic services China provides that the world cannot do without! Even the RENMINBI has a very limited sphere of influence! Lol! China has been at war with Australia over the last two years trying to economically bully Australia by placing tariffs on Australian imports, but you know why China has a lot of leverage over Australia? It is it’s market!!!! The Chinese population makes it a very lucrative and attractive market to businesses around the world reason why companies like Starbucks, McDonalds, Apple, Nike, will think twice before pulling out of China like they did in Russia, it is not because China is an almighty economic powerhouse, but only because the sales in an economy with a 1.4 billion strong economy forms a significant portion of the balance sheets of any business! Try to understand economics and stop arguing blindly like a fanatic! American economy is 25% or a quarter of the global economy yet it is not sanction proof and you talk about China like an almighty economic overlord! I pity you let Trump or any Republican reclaim the White House and Renew the revival of American manufacturing, when Fashion houses, Automobiles, Consumer goods manufacturers start to revive their plants and lines in America then you will understand that the Chinese economy is not half as impervious as you think |
Sltp:Another piece of misinformation, the world doesn’t depend on China, what looks like the manufacturing might of China actually is fueled by capitalist greed and the rapacious proclivity of western companies and industries to maximize profit even if it means engaging in unethical economic practices like the use of forced and underaged labor at very minimum costs compared to the cost of employing such expertise or service in their original countries, all of which China with its abundant population and Draconian or authorities political System with no accountability provided as a natural alternative to greedy western business! In the course of outsourcing manufacturing for the unethical purpose of cheap labor, an inevitable cost had to be paid, which was the inevitable transfer of the manufacturing technology, this was to the advantage of the very resourceful Chinese who were quick enough to replicate and improvise on these technologies reducing a reliance on western companies for innovation and thus giving them more economic leverage! The exponential rise of China in the last half of the last century and particularly the last two decades is only a testament to the dangers of capitalism and the need for more government intervention in the control of the factors of production! The west outsourced their manufacturing capacity and technology to China in return for an abundance of cheap labor, now China has caught up and rightly is a peer or competitor but not with the larger than life economic influence that you project as the US Economy still has a larger than life image looming even over the Chinese economy little wonder Chinese elites will rather send their children to IVY COLLEGES in the USA Than pay tuition for Chinese colleges! |
Sltp:You should be ashamed of your ignorance, there is no such thing as a sanction proof economy in the world, not even America’s the greatest and strongest economy in recent human history is sanction proof! The basic laws of economics is predicated on the principle of supply and demand! No country is self sufficient to exclude itself from international trade! Once exchange of goods and services with an external economy is inevitable economic subsistence in isolation becomes an impossible myth! The Trade wars between China and US during the greater part of Trumps Administration is an evidence of the ignorance of your submission, the Chinese economy shrank and projected growth had to be revised as a result of the impact of Tariffs imposed both ways by both economies in tit for tat economic reprisals! Who makes the semi conductor chips most technological innovations are based on? Intels a Us company is the largest producer which Huawei the leader in 5G technology has to rely on, yet who is the larger producer of the natural minerals from which semi conductor chips are made? China! Who is one of the largest supplier of soy or soyabeans to China which happens to have the highest population of pigs in the world as bacon is a staple there? U.S.A The U.S Is the highest trading partner of China as China is America’s, any attempt at sanctions or trade tariffs either ways will have ripple effect on both economies as the trade receipts between them is a significant part of their GDP! American Economy is innovative and technology inclined while the Chinese is a manufacturing economy! Apple needs the factories in China to run because its manufacturing and supply chain is heavily invested in China! American companies have invested billion dollars in manufacture and supply chain technology in China, a pull out or roll back on investment of which will have a ripple effect on the Chinese economy and the ordinary consumer in America! There is no such thing as a sanction proof economy as the statement is against every logic of economic science |
SarkinYarki:I knew it you were an unrepentant terrorist and your apologia for Macabre destructions and sanguinary decimation of innocent people because their views and opinion differs is only a definition of your myopia and intellectual dwarfism! There is nothing wrong with almighty Russia invading a country not even half of its population and with an inferior military capacity, destroying infrastructure and displacing innocent civilians from their ancestral homes? But it becomes a crime when the world decided not to be a passive audience to this carnage and pogrom and takes a stance with freedom and the need for the protection of the inalienable rights conferred on us by nature one of which is the right to a free exercise of will and determinism? The world should idly stand by and enable a madness that has no end in sight and if allowed, could mark the beginning of a new order, one that breeds anarchy and chaos, a new world order where existence becomes predatory and primal? The weak becoming prey for the strong without consequences to the aggressor, if that’s the posterity you want generations unborn to inherit, you can as well willing offer your lineage as participants in such chaos and disorder leave the rest of the free world to enjoy and protect fiercely the freedoms that has brought the world so much stability and prosperity, you will rather the world was one large theatre for practicing your jihadist fantasies! Ode |
SarkinYarki:You are a very shallow minded individual I have since come to observe with not the slightest grasp of contextual issues and conversations! The North Atlantic part of NATO is a reflection of the ideological purpose of the establishment of the organization as a deterrence to communist threat from the East, do you know that as a counter measures to NATO, the Russians also assembled countries with collective ideologies like that and made THE WARSAW PACT/ TREATY! Do not on the altar of religion sacrifice your common sense, please tell, if only one, a reason why and how “The West” which has become an overused phrase on here lately has influenced or created the situation in Europe as to warrant a justified Russian invasion! Don’t talk to me about the Cuban missile crisis and all that crap when the political and social realities are entirely different hence no grounds for an analogous comparison! I can tell you are most probably Northerner and Muslim as your disdain and hatred again for “The west” is only a subtle attempt at masking your sympathy with terrorist and the macabre killings their evil cause |
AldrichAmes:Bleep, plagiarized sophistry projected as intelligence when all it is , is no more but a facsimile and imitation! Gibberish and illogical! You think In reverse |
leathalbeast:Irredeemable fool these men you mention are leading states that are wallowing in extreme poverty! Pray, why don’t you happily relocate to Syria or Venezuela? Despite the complicity of the west as you claim why has the US seen an increased influx of Venezuelan immigrants in recent years? Why do they continue to flock to the same country that is the bane of their existence?! Try to use your brain and exceed expectations sometimes, you are just too dumb I wonder how you exist |
osazsky:Another dimwitted Russian apologist spotted! China’s nose was badly bruised in the last trade war it had with America during the Trump Administration! Even China has not been able to develop a universally accepted OS for their mobile devices outside Android and iOS despite their numerous attempt at diversification! ONLY THE USA Placing a ban on Intels sale of semi conductor chips to China crippled their leadership of 5G championed by Huawei! One thing I have noted is it is futile trying to argue with people blind to knowledge, logic and reason like the most of Putin’s apologists on here are! An economy that is not even a G7 for all economic and practical purposes will cripple the strongest economy in the world! With what? Russian oil and Agro allied products? Ode! Think well! Even the Japanese economy has a stronger bargaining chip than Russia economically ! |
Shoodboi:Lame brain and space x with its falcon reusable rocket is doing what? Virgin Galactic and Besos’ Blue origin are doing what mumu? The last crewed flight of US astronauts was powered by a falcon rocket marking the first time in the last two decades America was outsourcing Crewed Flight to the ISS to an American Company rather than its cooperation and reliance on SOYUZ rockets the last two decades! Get your facts right and stop talking like a mental degenerate |
MadamVanessa:Shut up child, even from the self admission and confession of the OP it can be inferred he is not in a financially viable position to assume the financial responsibilities and upkeep of others! His, is a very young nuclear family without the inclusion of children yet, what happens after the eventual and inevitable arrival of his own children and the dawning reality of an expansion of his financial responsibilities? Does he fractionalize his lean finances to cater for essential responsibilities as well as assumed responsibilities that are in no way remotely his? Foresight and hindsight are two important shades of Perspective every human aspiring to productivity and a meaningful existence must inculcate! You don’t stretch your means to accommodate secondary wants especially when you exist in a society with indeterminate and uncertain probabilities like the Nigerian state! People aspiring to attain and assume responsibilities not properly thought through out of the need to satiate their personal ego is the reason Africa despite being the most emotional and spiritual fraction of the human population has continued to wallow in the doldrums of extreme poverty and deprivation, because rational and thinking humans like your wife had been sentimentally demonized because of her pragmatism over sentimentalism! |
Righteousness2:You are too old to be this foolish, now that you are a father, the stakes are higher, live a life your child will be proud to model, desist from your evil and hypocritical ways! You are not too young to be wise neither too old to be foolish! |
ADJUST OR RESIGN |
DaHrNn0001:Nairaland members and Nigerians seem To have inherited a hereditary trait of foolishness perpetuated down generations and now has become a dominant trait or gene! Of what importance is the marital bliss of total strangers to you given the existential crisis living in Nigeria brings! You wonder aloud about what could have happened in a marriage you have no stake in while foolishly abdicating responsibility for fixing your very own life! Are you in any way related to the couple or you’re just one of those gullible people that derive satisfaction from watching the lives of other people unravel! Sadly, this is what the world has come to, people constant vacillating between the make believe of social media and the pungent reality of their own lives! What a sad existence! |
kilisi:Thank you very much |
capeverde2:Nothing is certain as the only constant in life is change, countries of Africa must adopt economic models peculiar to their indigenous circumstances and population!! Investments indicate viability but policies ensure profitability enabled through proactive legislations! The legal framework of the Nigerian economy is patchy and highly regulated, minimal government intervention and encouragement of privatization are necessary requirements for a free market economy like ours to adequately function |
Another morale booster to the blood thirsty deranged imperialist called PUTIN! it is little surprise his foolishness has emboldened blood sucking recidivists and terrorists like ISIS, they see a champion for their hatred for the western powers and their aversion for terrorism in Vladimir Putin who also so happens to be a model human being to his crowd of teenage apologists and Muslim terrorists constantly raging against the international order only stopping short of saying death to America in their comments on here! Bloody nasty terrorists everywhere! |
leathalbeast:You just reconfirmed your stupidity with your obnoxious comment, it is so arid it is lacking of common sense! What is the GDP of China or the size and value of its current trade receipts with Russia! Mumu for your information the US continues to remain by far Chinas biggest trading partner yearly followed by the EU, your beloved Russia does not even feature anywhere among its ten biggest trading partners!! As it is, the Chinese economy is more integrated with the Americans than Russia can ever dream about! It will amount to economic suicide for China to openly circumvent western sanctions! Just like semi conductor chips and soya bean tariffs became tools in their recent trade war bleeding both economies before calling for a temporary truce Truth is economics is complex than your simple mind can comprehend and for that reason I will cut your stupidity some slack! |
tiswell:The new world order made of how many countries that readily align with Russian ideologies? You mean a criminal band of destitute rogue states that includes such infamous states like Iran, Somalia, Syria, China, Belarus, Venezuela, Cuba, lol now I am running out of numbers of failed states! You are as dumb as they come! Lol is this the new world order you speak about? Oh I forgot to add your beloved Myanmar! Mumu, Russia’s only leverage is her military! The world has moved past times of military strength and might reason you can even mention or discuss China in world events, economic power is the ultimate form of power and all the countries in your new world order combined are not as prosperous as US AND JUST A HANDFUL WESTERN ECONOMY! If you went to school you either failed woefully or now is the time to realize you deserve a refund of your tuition! |
leathalbeast:You are an idiot of significant proportions, it is not rocket science understanding basic economics!! Why does a recession in America or the collapse of the housing market in 2008 caused a ripple effect global meltdown felt across the world! Idiot, this is simply because nations and their needs cannot exist independently in exclusion to the rest of the world given the interdependence of wants! No country of the world not even almighty America can exist as an economic pariah! There are still purchases of Iranian legitimately despite sanctions because such sales are within the quota allowed by the sanctions! You are too dimwitted to know I wasn’t talking from the linear perspective of factors of production alone! I was talking about an overall economic over view, So long as trade is INTERNATIONAL economic sanctions will always a potent substitute to military warfare! I know your kind, foolish people typing their nonsense from their dingy abode! I won’t respond to you again as you are nothing beyond matter.. just occupying space with foolish comments on this thread |
Fiscus105:I am beginning to understand that, sometimes I wonder why the comments with the most interactions on this forum are often bereft of common sense and knowledge, I guess it only speaks volumes of the intellect of most people here! |
tiswell:I have a greater stake in the American economy than my native Nigeria where I have an almost non existing economic footprint! My financial self sufficiency predates your teenage years and as such I am weaned off a dependence on the Nigerian government! It is you to and for you whom your advice was meant! Go get your PVC before discussing Russia when even Ghana has been out reach for you! |
leathalbeast:. Educate my ignorance please with a detailed explanation of how the scenario your opinion paints plays out? In what world and how? Lol ignorance is a disease but foolishness is even deadlier! |
Didi2d:I won’t spare a moment to dignify this infantile rambling with any response as it will be elevating stupidity to the pedestal of normal or acceptable standards! Do you even know the root cause of the simmering issue here? This is a dispute that always was an inevitable spillover from the Cold War! Get your facts right and save yourself the shame of being tagged ignorant |

We have seen their sanction and useless affects on Russia that don't contribute much on world output
