Very rare for a woman to do this cos of love on the flip side maybe he has plenty and plenty of money before she chose him and besides she won't want to lose home and away.
Women are very calculative, it's their instinct to make sure resources flow in the family hence why they are always called golddiggers, they can even see your future more than you do

Shameless Clown 🤡

The title makes it seem like Putin already has the capability blow up iPhones, while the body of the article is just SPECULATING on how long Putin figures out how to do it.

A SHADY tactic to monger FEAR!

That being said, even if Putin does figure it out, he would NEVER do it to US citizens. He's a smart man.

Putin/Russia may be strong, but the MIGHT of the US defies reason.

For context, the LARGEST Airforce in the world is the US Airforce. And the SECOND-LARGEST Airforce in the world is the US Navy.







It's MIND-BOGGLING!

I like Putin because he RESISTS the influence of the US. But there is NO kind of warfare in which Russia will overcome the US.

the USA maintains over 700 military bases around the world and the only country to have military base in each continent. There is no Military on earth that can match the robust logistics of the USA Military. USA alone has 11 Aircraft carrier that is even robust with firepower than most country airforce. Do we want to even talk about their robust intelligence and advance weaponry ?

This is one of the reasons why i respect Egypt, Ethipia, Syria and Greece. They've managed to maintain the name and the territory from then to now

Egypt was never conquered at any point despite threatning expansive wars from Greece and Mongollia

Shame on Babylon and Assyria that werent strong enough to resist those world powers

The territories once occupied by Assyria and Babylonia are part of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran.

lebanon is on the list too

Who is the FG? why is FG warning FG?
This country just dey like magic
instead of them to coordinate, be proactive and do the right thing before disaster strikes

How come the British are so powerful centuries ago? Not only powerful but influential to dictate and decide many things? How they are able to conquered many kingdoms and put them under their rulership.

With the Indian population they were able to control them, and also scattered them as they want. The same thing they did here in Nigeria.

In places like India and Nigeria, the British used local divisions, rivalries, and existing hierarchies to their advantage. By playing off rival groups against each other, they were able to control large populations without the need for massive military forces. The British often worked with local rulers and elites, offering them positions of power under British rule in exchange for loyalty. This helped maintain control with minimal resistance. they extracted vast amounts of resources from their colonies, particularly from India (cotton, spices, tea) and Africa (palm oil, minerals). These resources fueled British industry and wealth, further strengthening the empire. they were major players in the transatlantic slave trade, which provided labor for their colonies in the Americas and added to their wealth. In many cases, the regions the British conquered were politically fragmented, with numerous competing states, tribes, or kingdoms. This made it easier for the British to conquer and rule these areas piecemeal. They brought their systems and culture to each colony and met little resistance Plus they had the most technologically advanced Navy and disciplined military

Elon Musk does it again, proving ambition and unveiling Colossus, the world’s largest Nvidia GPU supercomputer. All set in 122 days to show the speed and scale at which this man—Musk—shows his presence and commitment to lead AI development.

Colossus, meant to power xAI’s large language model (LLM) Grok, is installed in a new data center located in Memphis, Tennessee; it incorporates 100,000 Nvidia Hopper H100 processors. Currently, this supercomputer represents the most powerful AI training system across the globe. Musk’s startup xAI, founded just last year, plans to challenge OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-4 with Grok, currently available to the paying subscribers on Musk’s X social media platform. The same experts feel that eventually, Grok will be the superbrain for Telsa’s humanoid robot Optimus—a project that Musk predicts will bring in $1 trillion annually. The supercomputer’s rapid construction and impressive specifications signal Musk’s determination to dominate the AI landscape. He plans to double Colossus’s capacity within months, adding 50,000 of Nvidia’s next-generation H200 processors, further accelerating xAI’s advancements. Musk’s partnership with Nvidia is crucial, as he pledged to spend up to $4 billion on AI hardware this year.
Despite the excitement, Colossus has raised concerns in Memphis. City officials are worried about the strain on resources, as the supercomputer requires massive amounts of water and electricity for cooling and operation. Nevertheless, Musk’s philosophy of speed and ambition drives his decision-making. In a conversation with podcaster Lex Fridman, Musk emphasized the importance of speeding up processes, believing that anything can be done faster than initially thought.

As xAI continues its meteoric rise, Musk’s strategic moves have placed him in a strong position in the race to develop artificial general intelligence, and Colossus is a testament to his ability to execute large-scale projects swiftly and effectively.

What began as perhaps a slow dance between the Republican presidential candidate and his top Silicon Valley backer now appears to be seriously hotting up, with talk of a possible role for Elon Musk on a Trump commission to combat “government inefficiency.”

For the past few months, Donald Trump has apparently been toying with the idea, should he win the presidency in November, of bringing together top business leaders to consult on whether to ax potentially thousands of government programs, according to the Washington Post
In response to the report’s speculations that Musk would likely find himself top of that list, the Tesla CEO posted on X, formerly Twitter: “I can’t wait. There is a lot of waste and needless regulation in government that needs to go.”
It’s not the first time the pair have floated the idea. In an interview with Reuters on Aug. 20, Trump told reporters he “certainly would” consider the possibility of granting Musk a job in his government. Musk then replied with a post in which he said “I am willing to serve,” featuring an AI-generated snap of himself standing in front of a podium marked “Department of Government Efficiency.”

The particular bent of Musk’s prospective role in Trump’s administration was further shored up during a two-hour call on X, when Musk told Trump “I think it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission,” adding that he’d be “happy to help out.”

Trump has previously sought to pour cold water on speculation this would see Musk assume a role in the Cabinet, given the backlash from voices pointing out a risk of serious conflicts of interest should Musk wield formal power over any areas of government that affect his wide-ranging business operations.

Many of Musk’s interests have indeed faced regulatory action in recent years. Notable examples include a decision by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to force a recall of more than two million Tesla vehicles over Autopilot function concerns, with an ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission probe into the tech tycoon’s financing of his 2022 purchase of Twitter.

In a new string of developments in the ongoing conflict between Iran and its proxies, and Israel and its allies, the US military advertisement on the dating app Tinder has been surfacing in Lebanon, warning them not to take arms against America, and assuring that the US will protect its allies from the Iranian regime and its proxies.
The warning was seen last week on the US-based dating app, in Arabic beneath the pictures of US warplanes, stating, "Do not take up arms against the United States or its partners,” it said, noting that America “will protect its partners in the face of threats from the Iranian regime and its proxies.”

"Central Command is “fully prepared” and ready to employ F-16 and A-10 aircraft “currently in the region," the message added
The platform where the ad was surfacing, i.e. Tinder, has sparked conversations, about the US military's online information operations, aimed at influencing the views of global audiences and countering what the government perceives as misleading narratives from foreign adversaries.
According to one US official familiar with the matter, the ad which is believed to be a part of a broader campaign in what is commonly called psychological operations or military information supporting operations, belonged to Central Command (CENTCOM), The Washington Post reported.

CENTCOM declines to comment
However, the Central Command declined to comment on the matter, saying it generally does not discuss information operations, as reported by The Washington Post.

"Broadly speaking and as a matter of policy, the Department of Defense does conduct military information operations in support of our national security priorities. These activities must be undertaken in compliance with US law and DOD policy, and we are committed to enforcing those safeguards," a defence official told the Washington Post.

Later, Tinder removed the ad after The Post inquired about it. Company's spokesperson Philip Fry, said that it “violated our policies” on violent and political messaging.

Reaction from Lebanon
Meanwhile, a freelance journalist from Lebanon, Séamus Malekafzali, said that he saw the ad when he opened Tinder. He posted screenshots of the ad on X, which made the post viral.

Moreover, “Who on earth approved this and how high was everyone in their chain of command?” Timothy Kaldas, the deputy director of the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy, posted on X.

One of the US military psyops officers said, “On its face, I doubt it would be very effective,” said the officer, who has worked on information operations campaigns and was not authorized to speak on the record. “What message is it that they think will resonate here?” the officer said. “This is just an in-your-face ‘don’t mess with me."

According to a report by The Washington Post, the Tinder Ad was not a clandestine campaign, as CENTCOM's logo was clearly visible. Notably, all military psyops campaigns, whether overt or clandestine get approved by a policy set by the Pentagon.

The focus on statistics and data often feels distant from the day-to-day realities of ordinary people. Many are struggling with hunger and basic needs, and it seems that the president and policymakers need to do more than just talk about numbers. It's crucial that they implement effective policies that genuinely address the pressing issues faced by citizens. People need tangible improvements in their lives—such as affordable food, better healthcare, and job opportunities. By focusing on policies that directly impact the well-being of ordinary citizens, we can start to see real change and progress.
