By one man squad you mean 32 NATO members squad?

Because the US have never fought a war on its own before.

A situation of of when stupidity kicks in 🤡

The US always move with its NATO gang.

I really felt that replying you will be a waste of time but i feel you do these things you do out of ignorance so let me lecture you for free on basic military course. To defeat your enemy you have to be realistic with yourself or else you get yourself annihilated. Hate it or love it the facts are the facts except when they are changed.
Your dislike and hatred for a country shouldn't make you blind to reality. In military studies, logistics wins you the war; the fact that you can supply troops is crucial. Having studied militaries and formations around the world, it's clear that the US military's capabilities are unparalleled. Here are some key qualities and quantities that underscore this:
Global Presence: The US maintains over 750 military bases worldwide, allowing it to project power and sustain operations across any continent. Neither China nor Russia has this logistical advantage.
Aircraft Carriers: The US is the only country with 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, each capable of carrying at least 70 fighter jets. These carriers provide unmatched air superiority and flexibility.
Advanced Technology: The US military is equipped with cutting-edge technology, from stealth aircraft like the F-35 to advanced drones and cyber warfare capabilities. This technological edge is a significant force multiplier.
Training and Expertise: US military personnel, especially pilots, receive some of the best training in the world. This training ensures that they can operate effectively in complex and challenging environments.
Logistics and Supply Chain: The ability to supply and sustain troops across vast distances is a key advantage. The US military's logistical network is robust, allowing for rapid deployment and sustained operations.
Defense Budget: The US defense budget is the largest in the world, providing the resources needed to maintain and advance its military capabilities. This financial commitment supports ongoing innovation and readiness.
Nuclear Deterrence: With a substantial nuclear arsenal, the US maintains a strong deterrent against potential adversaries. This includes both land-based and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.
Cyber Warfare: The US has developed significant capabilities in cyber warfare, allowing it to disrupt and defend against digital threats. This is increasingly important in modern conflicts.
Sanctions and Economic Measures: US economic sanctions, like those imposed on Russia, have long-term strategic impacts. While the effects may not be immediate, they can significantly hinder an adversary's economic and military capabilities over time.
While it may take time for China and Russia to catch up, the US continues to leverage its advantages to maintain its military dominance. This is why the US works to prevent China from acquiring advanced chips and sanctions Russia, as these measures are intended to maintain its technological and strategic edge.
Economists suggest that the sanctions on Russia may not have immediate effects but have set the country back decades in terms of economic and military development. This strategic foresight ensures that the US remains a formidable military power now and in the future.

You sound too perfect, logical and sane. Confess, you are an AI.

My friend I prioritize intelligent discourse over insanity. Sanity is crucial for humanity, and watering down opinions to prove yours is pointless. Logical reasoning always has a place, as we all view things from different perspectives.

DeepSight:
Well said. But you will acknowledge that in a bombed-out zone like Gaza where there are no longer proper medical arrangements, any hope of accuracy of death toll as well identification of all casualties is doomed ab initio.

Absolutely, you raise a critical point. In conflict zones like Gaza, where infrastructure and medical facilities are severely compromised, accurately documenting casualties becomes an incredibly challenging task. The lack of proper medical arrangements and the chaotic aftermath of bombings make it nearly impossible to ascertain the precise death toll and identify all casualties.

In such circumstances, achieving complete accuracy in reporting becomes a monumental challenge. However, despite these daunting obstacles, it remains essential to strive for transparency and accountability in documenting casualties to the best of our ability. Robust, impartial investigations are crucial not only for accurate reporting but also for ensuring justice for all affected parties.

While acknowledging the inherent limitations in such environments, it is imperative that efforts continue to be made to minimize discrepancies and uphold the principles of integrity and accountability in reporting casualties in conflict zones like Gaza.

It's crucial to acknowledge and scrutinize changes in reported figures, especially concerning sensitive matters like the death toll in conflict zones. While adjustments may occur due to ongoing investigations or improved data collection methods, transparency and accountability remain paramount. This reversal underscores the complexity of documenting casualties in conflict and emphasizes the importance of robust, impartial investigations to ensure accurate reporting and justice for all affected parties.

I really don't understand Nigerians, should we be happy cause you did the job you are employed to do? That is why this politicians take us for a ride. Imagine the other time Kogi government back then paid arrears salaries and people were jubilating.
How can Nigeria politicians be campaigning that they will build you roads in this 2024 while other countries are focus on the industry and growth of their economy.

Stormy Daniels, Who Testified About Sex With Trump, Will Return to Stand
The porn star at the center of the ex-president’s criminal trial, who will testify again on Thursday, spoke under oath about their encounter at a golf tournament in 2006, a meeting that could shape American history.

When Donald J. Trump met Stormy Daniels, their flirtation seemed fleeting: He was a 60-year-old married mogul at the peak of reality television fame, and she was 27, a Louisiana native raised in poverty and headed to porn-film stardom.

But that chance encounter in Lake Tahoe, Nev., some two decades ago is now at the center of the first criminal trial of an American president, an unprecedented case that could shape the 2024 presidential race.

This week, Ms. Daniels has been on the witness stand telling her side of the story, often in explicit detail. She has already faced five hours of questioning, and after the trial’s midweek hiatus, she is expected to return on Thursday to undergo additional cross-examination from Mr. Trump’s legal team.

The charges against Mr. Trump stem from her story of sex with him during that 2006 celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, a story she was shopping a decade later, in the closing days of the presidential campaign. Mr. Trump’s longtime lawyer and fixer, Michael D. Cohen, paid Ms. Daniels $130,000 in hush money before Election Day, and the former president is accused of falsifying business records to cover up reimbursements for Mr. Cohen.

On Tuesday, Ms. Daniels’s fast-paced testimony lasted nearly five hours, during which she described an encounter with Mr. Trump, now 77, that he has long denied. Tension gripped the courtroom, her voluble testimony filling a heavy silence. She made jokes; they did not land.

After about a half-hour on the stand, she began to unspool intimate details about Mr. Trump, so much so that the judge balked at some of the testimony. He implied it was gratuitously vulgar, and the defense sought a mistrial.

Ms. Daniels said the future president had invited her to dinner inside his palatial Lake Tahoe hotel suite. He answered the door wearing silk pajamas. When he was rude, she playfully spanked him with a rolled-up magazine. And when she asked about his wife, he told her not to worry, saying that they didn’t even sleep in the same room — prompting Mr. Trump to shake his head in disgust and mutter “bullshit” to his lawyers, loud enough that it drew a private rebuke from the judge, who called it “contemptuous.”

Ms. Daniels then recounted the sex itself in graphic detail. It happened, she said, after she returned from the bathroom and found Mr. Trump in his boxer shorts and T-shirt. She tried to leave and he blocked her path, though not, she said, in a threatening manner. The sex was brief, she said, and although she never said no, there was a “power imbalance.”
“I was staring up at the ceiling, wondering how I got there,” she told the jury, adding that Mr. Trump did not wear a condom.

The testimony was an astonishing moment in American political history and a crowning spectacle in a trial full of them: a porn star, across from a former and potentially future president, telling the world what she was once paid to keep quiet about.
Ms. Daniels, 45, has told her story widely — to prosecutors, reporters, her friends, in a book — but never to jurors, and not with Mr. Trump in the room. Her appearance on the stand appeared to unnerve Mr. Trump as she aired his dirty laundry, under oath, in mortifying detail.

But Ms. Daniels’s story is not just a sordid kiss-and-tell tale; it spotlights what prosecutors say was Mr. Trump’s criminality. He is accused of engineering the false business records scheme to cover up all traces of their tryst: the hush money, the repayment to Mr. Cohen and, yes, the sex.
While the defense cast the testimony as a smear, Ms. Daniels provided prosecutors with some useful details. She established the fundamental story of her encounter with Mr. Trump. And she testified that she would have told the same uncomfortable tale in 2016, had she not taken the hush money from Mr. Trump’s fixer.

But her testimony, at times, seemed problematic for the prosecutors who had called her. Ms. Daniels testified that money was not her motivation, and that she wanted to get her story out. That could draw skepticism from jurors, who have heard that she accepted the $130,000 and, in exchange, did not tell her story for more than a year.

“My motivation wasn’t money,” she said. “It was motivated out of fear, not money.”

The jury also saw the judge, Juan M. Merchan, scold Ms. Daniels at least twice, instructing her to stick to the questions asked of her. At one point, he even issued his own objection, interrupting her testimony as she began to describe the sexual position she and Mr. Trump assumed.

Justice Merchan, generally a stoic presence with a tight grip over his courtroom, showed rare exasperation as the testimony veered in a scurrilous direction and the trial took on a circuslike atmosphere.
He also asked Ms. Daniels to slow down. She was a rapid-fire talker, prone to laughter and lengthy asides.

Outside the jury’s presence, the judge said that “there were some things better left unsaid” in her testimony and suggested that Ms. Daniels might have “credibility issues.”
Yet he rejected the defense’s bid for a mistrial, instead inviting Mr. Trump’s lawyers to mount an aggressive questioning of Ms. Daniels.

“The more times this story has changed, the more fodder for cross-examination,” he said.

Susan Necheles, the Trump lawyer who led the cross-examination, heeded the judge’s advice.

She painted Ms. Daniels as a lying opportunist. She unearthed excerpts from Ms. Daniels’s book to suggest that her story had changed over time. And in a potentially troublesome moment for Ms. Daniels, Ms. Necheles implied that she had fabricated an account of a Trump supporter threatening her and her daughter in a Las Vegas parking lot, a story she did not share with her baby’s father.
“Your daughter’s life was in jeopardy, and you did not tell her father, right?” Ms. Necheles asked, the implication being that the story was phony.

Ms. Daniels was indignant. And during some cross-examination, she parried effectively, performing even better than she did with her answers to prosecutors.

Her testimony brought full circle one of the earliest scandals that loomed over Mr. Trump’s presidency. Ever since The Wall Street Journal broke the news six years ago that Mr. Cohen had paid her to keep quiet, her story has changed the course of American politics and laid the groundwork for the case.

Over the years, Ms. Daniels has leaned into her Trump-adjacent fame. She has sold merchandise, filmed a documentary, sat for high-profile interviews and written a book that was so tell-all it included detailed descriptions of the former president’s Instruments. Mr. Trump has also dished out insults that ridiculed her appearance, calling her “horseface.”
But at other times, Ms. Daniels appeared tortured, detailing the personal toll of outsize exposure. Suddenly, she was not just a porn star but a threat to a man who commands the most fervent political movement in modern American history. She told reporters she was inundated by threats from Trump supporters, many of which were graphic. She feared for her family and has divorced her third husband, the father of her daughter.

“I have been just tormented for the last five years or so,” she said in the opening scene of “Stormy,” a documentary about her life that was released on Peacock. “And here I am, I’m still here.”

Ms. Daniels joined the trial at a pivotal moment. On Monday, prosecutors had asked two veterans of the Trump Organization’s accounting department to show jurors the 34 records they say Mr. Trump falsified to conceal his reimbursement of Mr. Cohen for the hush money. Those include 11 invoices, 11 checks and 12 entries in Mr. Trump’s ledger that portrayed the payments as normal legal expenses.

In the weeks ahead, Mr. Cohen is expected to take the stand and connect the dots between the salacious details and the substantive documents. On Tuesday, Ms. Daniels’s testimony took jurors through the smuttier elements of the case.

She began by recounting a difficult childhood in Baton Rouge. Her parents split up when she was young, she said.

She wanted to be a veterinarian and was editor of her high school newspaper. Eventually, she began stripping, she says, because she earned more than she did shoveling manure at a horse stable.

By the time she met Mr. Trump at the golf tournament in 2006, she was a player in porn. She was an actress, and would ultimately find her footing as a director and producer.

Asked to identify Mr. Trump in the courtroom, she called him out as the man in a navy suit jacket. Ms. Daniels, dressed in all black and wearing glasses, reduced the singular former president to just another man in the courtroom.

She spent much of her testimony describing that first encounter in Lake Tahoe. When she met Mr. Trump, she knew he was a golfer and the host of the “The Apprentice,” the reality show that revived Mr. Trump’s celebrity for a new generation. In a memorable line, Ms. Daniels said she also knew that he was “as old or older than my father.”

Later that day, she said, Mr. Trump’s aide approached and invited her to dinner. She says he took her number, but that her initial reaction was “eff no,” abbreviating an expletive.

But her publicist encouraged her: “What could possibly go wrong?”

She then transported jurors inside his hotel room, painting the sprawling suite in minute detail, capturing every aspect down to the color of the tiles.

She said Mr. Trump had taken an interest in her business and asked about unions, residuals and health insurance, as well as about testing for sexually transmitted diseases. “He was very interested in how I segued from becoming just a porn star to writing and directing,” she said.

Ms. Daniels said Mr. Trump told her, “You remind me of my daughter. She is smart and blond and beautiful, and people underestimate her as well.”

She recalled going into the bathroom to do her lipstick, where, she said, she noticed gold tweezers and Old Spice.

Later, they stayed in touch, she said. In 2007, they met at Trump Tower in New York, at a Trump Vodka launch party in Los Angeles and at a Beverly Hills hotel — all interactions that appeared to undercut Mr. Trump’s claims that he barely knew her.

The jury was also shown contact logs from Ms. Daniels’s phone and from Mr. Trump’s assistant’s phone showing that they remained in touch. And when they did talk, she said, Mr. Trump had a nickname for her: “honeybunch.”

They have only spoken through lawyers since then, most notably during the hush-money negotiations. When Ms. Necheles accused Ms. Daniels of using that effort to “extort money from President Trump,” Ms. Daniels objected.

“False,” she said.

“That’s what you did, right?” Ms. Necheles persisted.

“False!” Ms. Daniels shouted.

No Guts No Glory

I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.

i don't know why i am even laughing. cos putin once said to forgive terrorist is up to God but it is my duty to send them to God

Investment wisdom dictates that what goes up must eventually come down, and conversely, what is down must eventually rise. Therefore, it's essential to exercise caution when stocks experience significant gains, as a market correction or crash may be imminent. Conversely, when stock prices are low, it may present an opportune time to buy, as the potential for future growth is higher. Remember, timing is crucial in investing, and assessing market conditions carefully can lead to more informed decisions.
