Bestscoreodds I actually agree with all your positions.But there's something i want you to get.The US is always concerned with the security of the world.They don't sell weapons to terrorists or terrorists breeding countries.Russia and China on the other hand sells weapons to anyone not minding who they are.Recalled when they sold weapons to taliban and it was leaked.The US must possess absolute power to halt the progress of comunists like Xi and dictators like Putin.

Funny your analogy to back them holds no water the USA deep state or system still controls the president that why they fought against trump tooth and nail the deep state or system is more dictatorial than putin and Xi.

Mind you who sold weapons to Libya terrorists groups to over throw Gaddafi or who sold it to isis to try to over throw Assad...

It was all USA and nato that sold it to them.

Wake up my brother and smell the coffee.


USA is a snake they don't mean well for you.

sweetjohn:
You don't have sense... Stop nenesense references and concentrate on your country dealings. All the aid received from the USA which one have Nigeria repaid. Loan and aid are different thing. If USA gives Nigeria money in the name of loan they will have to pay back bc it's a loan but if the money is in the name of aid is FREE.

you are useless

Oga I weak for you, you only responded to two out of my 4 questions. Make I put my questions and your answers below make NL see wetin I dey deal with since yesterday

Since question, you claimed that NATO was in Ukraine I asked where is the base and when was it established?

Your response was i told you Ukraine was one step to joining nato which is an act of War

Question: Does Ukraine have the right to protect her territory from attack against from Russia?

Your answer:
Immediately I read.i told you Ukraine was one step to joining nato which is an act of War


your first answer I realised say na okwute I dey follow discuss ooh. ahaha

Your response indicated that you are not ready to have a conversation but to argue.

Sorry no be yab I dey yab ooh I just wan understand how your own mind dey work? Hahaha

Is it hard for you to read he said nato is a step in Ukraine don't you see the difference he showed you that nato had agreed to put Ukraine in nato before Russia step in to cancel all their plans. What hard for you to understand.

The number two and three does not hold water when nato is just a step in Ukraine.



..... That number four is enough to clear all your point but you can't understand it...


4...if the option you choose in protecting your home means that my home will be destroyed in the future then you don't deserve to exist.

GODPUNISHALABI:
Lol joker

I said the truth and many examples abound from the scripture to prove it.

sweetjohn:
Aids is a free money. It means "help" "assistance". It's not to be repaid. And that is what almighty USA has been giving to every countries including developed and underdeveloped countries. Including United Nations. No country can try such. USA is the country with the highest debt index why? Because they use it to fund the world. USA is like a father providing for the needs of his children (the world). USA is a gift from God to humanity to achieve their "America dream". People all over the world refer to America as a "land of opportunities".

In your mind it not free it a loan.

VictorUSA:
The way you hate the West only God can help you.

some people here out of their love for anything America, have refused to see that America is the number one bully in the whole world. I love America too, and I will prefer them to remain powerful, but not with absolute power. Because absolute power currupts.. If anyone think America is fighting for Ukraine, they are deceiving themselves. America is fighting to destroy the only country, that's preventing them from having absolute power. The military might of Russia is of great concern. America practice democracy at home, but on the international stage, they practice dictatorship. They have little or no respect for the UN, they have even threatened the UN and its affiliates on numerous occasions. America respects sovereignty of a nation, for as long as the nation is serving their interests. Once you fall out of line, and you refuse to fall back in line...... Forget it. A unipolar world is dangerous for everyone of us.... USA must learn how to share the world with Russia and china

Amayabor1:
Francis repeated comments he has made in general audiences and in other interviews that the war is nothing more than a giant opportunity for a “trade in arms”

What is the pope saying? Trade in which arms? The US and other western nations are giving Ukraine free weapons, he is talking about "trade in arms". If it was really trade, the US will not be giving Ukraine military aids.

He also talked about the war being used to test new weapons. Pope, please, who told you that the weapons being sent to Ukraine has not been tested before in war situations?

You ignored the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine. Now, you are bringing out conspiracy theories while the war started because the west is sending weapons to Ukraine to defend itself. You were expecting Ukraine to surrender while Russia run over their country right? Sorry to disappoint you!

USA don't give you anything for free the arms is loan to be repaid.

Morphinne:
He said that the real “scandal” of Putin’s war is “NATO barking at Russia’s door,” which he said caused the Kremlin to “react badly and unleash the conflict.”
When someone with a functional brain speaks you will surely know from a million miles away.
Here is someone with a functional brain and an unbiased mind~ a freethinker. The Pope just spoke nothing but the truth while some nairaland subhumans want to have us think otherwise and believe that anyone who goes contrary to their wack thinking is definitely a Muslim terrorist or probably denied visa to the West. The root cause of this conflict is very clear but only intelligent people can see. You don’t invite my ark enemies to surround my gate asking me to keep my cool citing that you have fundamental rights to peaceful assembly and association.

It all started with a deal between US companies and the Ukrainian government, according to which the Ukrainian government provided the land of eastern Ukraine to the US to drill for shale gas.

For this purpose, however, they had to evict about 5 million Russians from Donetsk and Donbas and follow them to Bleep, so as not to interfere with the production of shale gas.
But the Russians stumbled and did not want to leave their homes (especially since no one would pay them the cost of their homes and furniture) and rebelled.

The Ukrainian army was ambitious and began to re-educate them in its own way.
First he fired at them from tanks, then from GRAD installations, and finally he started bombing them with phosphorus and cluster bombs with SU 25 planes. About 37,000 people have been killed and wounded so far, of which at least 500 are children.

From time to time the Russians handed them some weapons so that they could defend themselves, and that was it. And so until the intelligence of Russia came the information that February 2022 tg. the entire Ukrainian army will attack Donetsk and Luhansk to appease them.

That is why the Russians had landed about 100,000 armies near their border (a little more army was concentrated in Ukraine not far away, but no one mentions it). And after no one attacked until February 17, Russia began to withdraw its troops on February 18. Yes, but on February 21, Ukraine began bombing Donetsk and Luhansk, registering more than 1,400 explosions.

And on February 24, the Russian army regrouped and entered Donetsk and Luhansk.
These are the facts. I could only add that Ukraine turned out to have developed its own atomic bomb and it took them a month or two to complete it.
Nuclear weapons specialists Ukraine has, like plutonium, the nuclear fuel used by nuclear power plants. In addition, 74 US bases and 26 biological weapons laboratories.

So you judge for yourself who attacked whom first and whether
Putin has not prevented a biological and nuclear catastrophe in the region!

VictorUSA:
This isn't going the way many of you think.This may be a calculated plan by the U.S.It's difficult to be self-reliant economically.China will only cripple its economy moving away from the west.

the way you worship west only God can help you.

West is nothing thier own product is expensive you know they only bring nato death.

Many countries will begin to leave USA banks and Wall Street, they will gently sell off their bonds, shares, stocks whatever can be sanctioned off.

The human spirit was not created to be subdued by any foolish race that thinks they own the world.

No wise nation wants to keep their money in USA again.


USA is finally going down.


God bless putin.
God bless mother Russia.

TEXT
Like his predecessors who built the Great Wall to thwart foreign threats, Chinese leader Xi Jinping is raising ramparts to make his nation more self-reliant, a mission Russia’s war in Ukraine has made more imperative.

China has pumped billions of dollars into semiconductor production, stockpiled grains and oil, and established international links to its financial system. At the root of the push is the fear of getting blocked out of Western economies by heavy penalties of the sort the U.S. and European Union have thrust at Russia.

News Analysis

China is shifting its global asset portfolio in response to sanctions on Russia and is in the process of stabbing the West in the back.

Having seen the avalanche of economic pain imposed by the West on Russia—from the confiscation of oligarch yachts to the freezing of most of Moscow’s $630 billion in foreign currency reserves—Beijing is moving to protect itself, presumably because it knows it’s up to no good and could therefore be sanctioned in the future.

China’s central bank had $3.22 trillion in foreign currency reserves and $1.12 trillion in gold reserves in January, according to its own data. It now realizes that much of this, which is in the world’s hardest currencies—the U.S. dollar, euro, Japanese yen, and British pound sterling—are vulnerable to freezing if, for example, China continues to support Russia or invades Taiwan.

By March, China’s currency reserves fell to $3.19 trillion, and its gold reserves rose to $1.22 trillion. In other words, China is selling its Western currencies for gold. This could be a fractional rebalancing or the beginning of a larger trend.

China’s likely dumping of Western currencies could be adding to inflationary pressures in the West, which increased to 8.5 percent for the dollar in March, compared with a year ago, on the back of rising energy and food costs from Russia’s invasion. U.S. inflation, the Federal Reserve target for which is 2 percent, is currently at its highest since the 1980s.

In March, eurozone and British inflation were also high at 7.5 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, in China, inflation is relatively moderate at 1.5 percent.

Beijing knows that its global asset portfolio, including oil fields in the West, could be seized if it follows Moscow’s example and does the wrong thing. Rather than protect all these investments by doing the right thing, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is preparing for bad behavior by liquidating its vulnerable Western assets and rebalancing its portfolio toward countries with which it has more influence, such as in the developing world and among dictatorships.

According to a new Reuters report, China is selling its oil fields in the United States, Canada, and Britain due to the threat of sanctions. CNOOC, China’s leading offshore hydrocarbon producer, seeks to unravel its $15 billion investment in Canada’s Nexen, which produces approximately 220,000 barrels per day in the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and Canada’s oil sands.

China’s Top Oil Gaint Reportedly Plans to Exit Western Markets in Fear of Sanctions, Returning to Domestic IPOs
While CNOOC was delisted on U.S. stock exchanges in October due to its alleged military owners, it’s reportedly planning to relist on the Shanghai stock exchange.

Since the Trump administration, the CCP has faced increasing headwinds over its unethical trade practices and human rights abuse. The timing of CNOOC’s asset sale appears to be linked to a rise in oil and gas prices that resulted from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and which could garner a higher price than it paid.

Beijing still seeks to source hydrocarbons internationally and, to that end, wants to acquire alternatives in places such as Brazil, Guyana, Uganda, and Iraq.

According to a new report by oil analyst Simon Watkins, the United States recently gave Iraq an unprecedentedly long waiver from Iran sanctions. Just after, Iraq returned the favor by giving China a massive hydrocarbon deal of “an engineering, procurement, and construction contract worth at least US$412 million for a 130 million standard cubic feet per day natural gas processing facility in Basra.”

A new aversion to Western assets, including currencies and alternatives such as oil fields, could have major ramifications for China’s trade with the West. If China no longer wants what America, Europe, and Japan have to offer, then Beijing might reorient away from supplying these regions with manufactured goods, which would accelerate decoupling.

But before China decouples from the West and our allies, we should jointly decouple from Beijing. Let the CCP pay the cost of its support for Russia, human rights abuse, territorial aggression, intellectual property theft, and foisting of COVID-19 on the world, not us. That means taking the economic initiative against the CCP and its global assets. There are plenty of justifications to do so.

Beautiful news.

eduj:
in the video nowhere was it mentioned that the s300 was that from Slovakia.

besides,the s300 is comprised of 3 different system's wotlrking together. And they are spread over quite an area.what was destroyed was the radar system for the s300 not the rocket launchers.

Ukraine has more than two dozens 300 systems at the out break of this conflict. they have lost quite many of them, but have also captured quite a few also.

You can defend from your own point of view besides they did not speak English so how did you know what was said.

Now even Ukraine said they are not sure but that the equipment was placed near the airport that was destroyed so people now said it likely Russia destroyed the defense weapon.

nickxtra:
Putin will not die well

Why do Russians not smile?

However, Russian people don't see smile as a sign of politeness. Instead, they think that smile demonstrates secretiveness and insincerity. A Russian proverb goes like this — “Laughing for no reason is a sign of stupidity.” So, people in Russia don't smile until they have a valid reason for it.Nov 13, 2021

Appleyard:
Anyone with common sense knows all these are pure false flags. The fact that the west is actively blocking an independent investigation into the Bucha alleged massacre is enough testament that they knew who actually did it. The Russians left Bucha March 30. On March 31st, the mayor of Bucha entered the city and posted videos celebrating the ''liberation'' of the city. In his videos, he never mentioned any dead bodies or anything like massacre, just footages of a calm and mostly deserted city. Then days later, the UKi troops enter the city and before we know it, bodies started lying in different areas of the city, same places where the mayor first filmed and sees nothing. Russia called for an independent investigation of the alleged crime but the UK blocked it. The funny thing is that some of the alleged bodies has white arm bands, which everyone knows signifies solidarity with the Russians. So what does it mean? It means the those people were killed by Ukrainian soldiers for being collaborators. The west knew this and that is why they're refusing an independent investigation into the Bucha killings. The US Pentagon with all it's intelligence have said it could not verified the allegations. If the Pentagon says they can't verify who did it, it's because they knew who did it, and it's certainly not the Russians.

Everything about USA is lie..

Is it true that Russia have no spare parts for their fighter jets and tanks and run low on cruise missiles and smart bombs? Half of their submarines don’t work.


No, these statements are totally untrue. The CIA is just making shit up in a bid to deny Russia a truly impressive military victory. The American is worried that if it acknowledges the scale of the Russian military victory in Ukraine, it will result in the US’s allies losing faith in the US’s ability to defend them. As a result, the American intelligence agencies are asking the media to lie outright in a bid to make the Russian military look weaker than it really is. In reality, the Russian military has never looked better.

Ukraine said they won't join nato in the peace talks then they ask Russia to show a sign of good faith as they show then Russia said they will leave the capital.
