I used to think a nuclear war was never going to happen.

The global Powers are too responsible or so I thought.

But now, I find cause to worry everyday.

There are so many triggers across the world for a potential nuclear conflict.

Superpowers misbehaving with pride and ego.

They have forgotten that they all share the same planet.

When you have nukes no one will oppress you. Relax a warm won't happen because of the stakes involved.
Properties / Re: The Issues Of Building-Collapse In Nigeria: Recommended Solutions by ben1daEbiri(m): 3:42pm On Nov 02, 2021
Subsea101:
This is incorrect for this situation. Once the load bearing capacity has been determined, a foundation is recommended to SUIT the proposed type/weight of the intending structure.
If for instance Qty 20 @25m depth piles is deemed fit to carry such a structure, it should be adheard to, if for any reason extra floors/loads will be added, a redesign of the foundation elements is a MUST. Because adding extra weight will take up the factor of safety (FS) already accounted for in the initial design.

You CAN'T use a foundation designed for 15 suspended floors for 21 floors, except the engineers conceptualized further addition in future, and made appropriate provisions for that.


Exactly the point I was trying to make with a reply to a comment earlier

Miroslavklose:


That is not how building foundation works.

Load bearing capacity of the soil is determined and a foundation is recommended. If you build on recommended foundation, it can handle 30 floors

The issue of adding extra floors or modifying actual building is only to avoid paying more in approval fees, not because of the foundation.

LASPPPA calculates fees based on floors and size of building. Many developers actual do something outside what is approval and this is very common in Lagos State. Very very common in 90% of buildings in Lagos State

I agree with you but the problem with this system is that it toys with the safety factor. If doesn't necessarily mean the structure would collapse immediately but will obviously not meet the required lifespan design of the structure. If your plan says 15 floors and gets approved while the intent is 21 floors and soil test says it can withstand 25 floors it greatly impacts on the safety factor, this may not be much but shouldn't be shoved aside. Logic says the higher the safety factor the better. Before approval is given isn't the soil test result provided alongside it? My point is little tweaks in design after approval might affect a structure's strength even though it may not be much. I think whatever design you submitted for approval should strictly be adhered to.

This is only my suggestion. I'm not a civil engineer but a final year Petroleum Engineering student so I'm open to learn from anyone.

And 100 years later, if you ask people to wear mask and take vaccine for their own safety and that of their communities they’d refuse, saying it’s signs of the end times or mark of the beast

I don't condemn those who refuse taking the vaccine because it's almost pointless. You can't take combine me a certain vaccine works if it doesn't eliminate the risk of which it is been treated for and with so much side effects. I'm sure you took polio vaccine right? The risk of you having polio after takimg the vaccine is very low, can't say the same for covid. People have reportedly died from taking the vaccine. Until it is safe enough, I wouldn't advise anyone to take it. Stay safe by observing the best practices recommended by WHO and the likes.

American only joined the war because the saw the Red Army was able to withhold Hitler's offensive long enough. One tactic the Russians always used was prolonging warfare especially if you attack at their own turf. They'll stuffle your progress until winter, cut off your supplies and let frostbite do the rest, Napoleon Bonaparté can attest to this. The Russians held the battle at Stalingrad to a stalemate giving thw Americans the advantage.

We all know it was coming to this eventually. Russia tried, they failed. U.S sunk almost a trillion dollars and I'm damn sure they got a whole lotta profits from the war. I mean, the CIA is the biggest drug cartel in the world.


History have taught us that you don't win guerilla warfare in the enemies turf with conventional tactics!!!


What happened in Afghanistan was a clash of interest among potential colonists. When the Soviets tried having it; the British and America backed the Taliban, a similar thing happened when the Americans invaded too.

America botched the whole thing with rumour and warmongering. Afghanistan was never a state until America came with democracy and whatnot. They'll all suffer for the immigrants trooping in

They bleeped Russia but Russia turned the tide, trying to occupy Moscow was Hitler's greatest undoing.

I thought it would be haram of Talibans to befriend China due to China's abuse on Muslims, forcing them to est pork, alcohol etc. The more you understand international politics the better for you.

Funny enough, China is the only Super power who hasn't won a war ( apart from Sino/Indo first war, which India 're-equalised ) or fought any long term war to really esrimate how good and fast they cluld deploy troops and sustain long term war and logistics... Lol. Funny people

Your beloved US hasn't won any wars either. Don't come to me with the WWII trash, they only joined because the Russians held Nazi Germany long enough.

US is known to be a perennial bully and export democracy ���. See what the democracy they've been trying to export for over 20 years has brought. US DoD have no shame, they still come to the news to make noise over Kabul for what they're responsible for; untill this day, they don't admit they made a mess of the whole thing. The same way they never wanted to accept the Armenian genocide because of their them Turkish friends, well Erdoğan doesn't give a flying Bleep about them now.

Lol, you comment alone shows your ignorance. If there is any country that likes propaganda, it is Russia. Calling F35 hopeless coffin shows how much propaganda you enjoyed over the years. Only if you know the upgrade it has undergone. Everyone knows Russia lies too much, even when they have radioactive leaks they lie so much to look efficient in front of their citizens unlike US that admits errors well.

Bro the facts are there...the F-22 is the best fighter jet America has...stop fooling yourself. The original F-35 performed woefully so they made some fancy tweaks.

How can you downgrade a fighter jet to an apache chopper? You mentioned vertical take off and landing...is that a dealbreaker?

Face it,the F-35 didn't live up to the hype. How many F-35s do America deploy as compared to the F-22?
5he F-35 is just an upgraded F-22.

The differences between the MiG-29 and the Su-35 is just so glaring that the Americans were forced to upgrade their flying coffin.

Stalingrad 'Aka case blue' wasn't really a major offensive sir. that was why Hitler prevented Von Manstein from rescuing them or even allowing Paulus to order a breakout. Yes it was a humiliating tactical victory for the USSR but not a major strategic loss for the Nazis


The battle of stalingrad wasn't a major offensive? Lol

Had Hitler succeeding in capturing stalingrad then he would have easily had Russia.

I'll let you wallow in ignorance. The F-35 has different variants because they are tailored for different purposes. A particular variant has short takeoff time and can land like a helicopter. No other country has been able to achieve this feat. No other country has a jet that can land like an helicopter.

So the US spends billions of dollars in research and development with nothing to show for it? angry

Lol..the F-35 have different variants because the original F-35 was riddled with faults...go check before you quote me again.

If not for the USA, hitler would have destroyed the whole of USSR before the start of winter. go and read about LEND LEASE and then receive sense afterwards ..

US that came to fight because they saw a chance with the Russians...."destroyed the whole of Russia..." so much ignorance from this post.

Russia geography is a major factor why its so difficult to defeat them....all hell will be waiting to let loose on you by the time you get to mainland Russia.

I ask again,which nation was able to hold up a German offensive the longest? Russia why? Because the Russians know there terrain better than outsiders so they used it to their advantage prolonging operation barbarrosa.

The longer the you fight the Russians,the better for them,the same tactics Napoleon fell for.

The conclusion of the whole matter is that you should never take a fight to them.

The reason while Germany fail to conquer Russia was because of Hitler strategic mistakes and blunder. Not that Russia red army was that powerful or strong.

Remember, The same Russia was defeated by Finland during 1940 winter.

Germany was fighting on many front when Hitler decided to invade Russia. Geman military general warn Hitler but he refused and order " operation barbarosa".

Even when the German army reach the gate of Moscow. Hitler ordered them to stop. I don't know his reason . He did not provide his troops winter uniform even when his generals warn him about the Russian winter. Hitler does not believe his generals. He was stubborn.

The German army fail to take Moscow by the end of 1941. An immediately Russia deadly winter set in, The rest was history.


The only nation that was able to withstand Hitler's offensive was Russia...Remember the battle was in mainland Russia (stalingrad) so it was all or nothing.

France or UK wouldn't have held as long as the Russians before those chest-besting Americans waded in.

Stalin did not save any Jews! Stalin was anti semitic just like Hitler. Before the world war 2 breakout, Stalin executed many Jewish politicians that are in the Bolshevik party when he unleashed " The great purge and terror" on Soviet Union from 1935 to 1938.

He assassinated Leon Trotsky when he was exiled in Mexico. Trotsky was one of the top Soviet Jews that formed the Bolshevik party. He should have succeeded Vladimir lenin but Stalin toppled him and have him arrested after which he ran to exile to
Mexico.


Did you know that Trotsky was double agent?

You're just dishing so much BS with confidence here
Before Stalin death in 1953, He also want to built a concentration camp and dump all Russia Jews just like Hitler did during the holaucaust.

He also jailed many Jewish doctor because he thought Jewish doctors want to assassinate top Soviet politicians during the massive campaign know as " The doctors plot" .

Correct...Hitler wouldn't have really needed tactics and all that,he had the numbers and tanks needed...he would have simply strolled past the English and French.

American only joined because they saw the Red army were holding the lines so it seemed the Americans offensive changed the tide. Why didn't they join when the French and English were beaten black and blue

In conventional war you say. That was exactly the same thought Hitler had before Operation Barbarossa.... Napoleon had the same thought before invading the Russian bear, underestimate Russia at your own peril....

He clearly is underestimating a country that can evacuate Moscow into underground bunkers in less than 20 minutes.

The rule of thumb is that if you can't beat the cold don't even think of beating Russia. The Russians starved Napoleon and he's troops and a considerable number of his troops died of cold and other cold related ailments.

It takes more than "conventional" warfare to bring Moscow down

The US defence budget is triple that of Russia and China combined. Don't get it twisted. America is the world's only superpower.

China is an economic superpower, but a regional military power. Russia is a regional power, but it has the means to project power beyond its region.

America is a global power. It can project power any where in the world.

And the US have been spending a bunch of all that funds on research and development with little to nothing to show for it.

Why does the F-35 have different variants? The F-35 is just expensive for nothing...till today,the F-22 that's already aging remains the best fighter get of the US while Russia is already developing Su-57.
MiG-29 is giving the F-35 a run for its money.
Why does Russia have a better ICBM with a relatively lower cost?

Remember how the US boasted about the F-22 stealth capability when it was launched? If the US are better in anything believe me they'll show it off. If Russia have 2/3 of the US military budget no one comes close.

Russian economy is one of the lowest in Europe. The only thing that make Russia relevant in the world affairs is it military might.

Economically Russia is nothing!! They are only good in cyber attack and selling weapons to rouge Nations.

That's why I like China. They are investing massively in their military and their economy. They are second largest economy and the third largest military in the world.

Speak some facts but left some other important things out!

Russia is a major supplier of gas across Europe — I mean,they have the largest reserve of natural gas in the world so saying it's only military that makes Russia relevant is gross misinformation.

Having being attacked so many times in history,it's only proper to arm/protect yourself. The only reason marauding invaders like Napoleon failed to annex Russia was because of the cold and they always attacked during winter. Once beaten twice shy right?

Same goes for Israel too...they've always had a history of attacking others or being attacked so they had to stay on their toes. I belive Isreal do have nukes but will only use when NECESSARY.

Russia has the best ICBM in the universe,the best assault rifle,the most nukes in the galaxy and arguably the best defence systems in existence (S-400) which the US are still scrambling to meet up while another (S-500) is already in development.

The US only has a better airforce/navy and the Russians aren't far off.
