scully95:OK great |
Putin has said it times without number, Russia only a madman would lead his country to war with nato, which Turkey is part of. but with the way things are turning turkey might be abandoned, though their officials are singing a different tune about the downing of Russia's jet. no country would ever use nuclear weapons. a conventional war with turkey would take Russia just 7days and turkey is finished. |

ULSHERLAN:. ... its obvious trump can't win the presidential election.the article is for those who see america as alpha and omega, america uses what the current APC is using "propaganda" to hype its military, and also thanks to Hollywood which has also helped in the american propaganda. like I have always said the u.s hasn't won any war since after second world war, even most of those they backed in wars either lost or ended in stalemate, eg us backed south korea, it ended in an armistice, in the Vietnam war also didn't favor their ally, the backed Iraq during the Iraq Iran war, still there was no major winner in fact Iran could be declared winners as they were almost standing alone and also under sanctions. I can go on and on, Russia on the other hand don't do propaganda but actions eg in 2005 in 5 days shakasvilli Georgia was demacated up till this day the Russian backed territory is still independent of Georgia, shakasvilli ran to Ukraine for asylum and is now a governor in Ukraine, (from President to governor) ..Crimea is already part of Russia as we speak. forget propaganda when its time for action we know the real deal. |

Russia’s military campaign in Syria seems to have changed President Barack Obama’s opinion of its armed forces. He now says it’s “the second most powerful military in the world.” Two years ago he labeled Moscow as nothing more than a “regional power.” Speaking at the Association of southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) conference in California, Obama conceded that “Russia is a major military” and that “obviously a bunch of rebels are not going to be able to compete with the hardware of the second most powerful military in the world.” This is quite a statement from the US president, who almost two years ago derided Moscow as nothing more than a “regional power” that “is threatening some of its immediate neighbors, not out of strength but out of weakness,” in regards to his belief that Russia had ‘annexed’ Crimea from Ukraine. In November, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said Russia was challenging “American preeminence” and Washington’s so-called “stewardship of the world order” as Moscow and China reassert themselves on the international arena as serious military powers. Since responding to a request to intervene in the Syrian conflict by that country’s president, Bashar Assad, Moscow has been pounding Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and other terrorist groups with daily sorties carried out by its jets since September 30. The move took Washington by surprise and the commanding general of the US Army in Europe said he was astonished by Russia’s capacity to deploy its troops to Syria. "I was one of those people surprised about their move in Syria. I’ve been watching them in Syria for some time now, but I thought they were so stressed with what they were doing that I didn’t realize they had a capacity also to pick up and move into Syria," Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges said in an interview with the defense News weekly in October, as cited by Sputnik. In December, Russia targeted IS militants in Raqqa with Kalibr land attack cruise missiles launched from a submarine in the Mediterranean Sea. The 3M-54 Kalibr missiles were launched from the Kilo-class diesel- electric submarine ‘Rostov-on-Don’, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said. The Syrian conflict has given Moscow the chance to show-off some of its latest hardware in active combat for the first time. Amongst Russia’s fighter jets at the Khmeimim Air Base in Latakia is the Su-35. In the air, two Su-35s can provide a 360-degree field of view with coverage ranging to 400km, a spokesman for the Russian forces said. He also mentioned that the Su-35 is a multirole fighter jet capable of providing air cover for the strike aircraft and strike surface targets as well as subsurface ones. Additionally, in November 2015, Russia deployed a unit of its cutting-edge S-400 air defense systems to the base after one of its Su-24 fighter jets was shot down by the Turkish Air Force in Syrian airspace. S-400s are designed to ensure air defense using long and medium-range missiles that can hit aerial targets, including tactical and strategic aircraft as well as ballistic and cruise missiles, at ranges of up to 400km. Obama claims Moscow risks getting stuck quagmire in Syria, however, according to Brian Becker of the antiwar coalition ANSWER, nothing could be further from the truth. “Russia’s intervention, not the US, is turning out to be the decisive international factor aiding the SAA [Syrian Arab Army], which has done the bulk of the fighting and dying… to stop ISIL,” he told RT. According to Becker, Russia’s intervention has “irreversibly changed the military dynamic” in Syria, with both IS and the militants backed by the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar losing ground since October 2015. Washington seems more upset than pleased at these reversals. “It shows that the US policy was a catastrophic failure,” Becker argued, adding that prioritizing the ouster of Assad over defeating IS makes US foreign policy “look downright schizophrenic.” It is not only Russia’s intervention in Syria, which has made Washington reassess Moscow’s military might, as Russia continues to roll out cutting edge battlefield technology. The Armata tank was officially unveiled at the Victory Day celebrations in Moscow in 2015, while Russia also released plans to create a new heavy transport aircraft, capable of moving heavy army equipment to anywhere in the world in as little as seven hours. While the transport aircraft, dubbed PAK TA is only likely to be built by 2024, the US is still in awe of Russia’s ability to move troops and hardware quickly. "The ability [of Russians] to move a lot of forces very quickly is the thing that worries me the most about what they can do. The lack of indicators and warning that we have and their ability to move a lot of stuff real fast – that's not a good combination," Hodges said in October. It is not just the Russian’s who are proving to be a match for the US, with US officials “amazed” at Chinese naval capabilities. In 2015, the Chinese Navy had more operational diesel and nuclear attack submarines than their American counterparts. “They may not be the same quality, but their submarine forces are growing at a tremendous rate. They now have more diesel and nuclear attack submarines than we have,” Vice-Admiral Joseph Mulloy, deputy chief of naval operations for capabilities and resources, told the House Armed Services Committee's Seapower Subcommittee in February, 2015. “They are producing some fairly amazing submarines and they are actually deploying them.” https://www.rt.com/news/332867-russia-major-military-obama/ |
Omenkata:. guy easy o, make DSS no find u.a country voting an illiterate Fulani cattle man, we are in trouble |
Olabestonic001:if u have read all I wrote u would have seen where it was stated that the current Nigeria structure cannot develop the country, whether east west or north, only fiscal federalism would. I dont know how u came about the conclusion that the whole of south east did not support buhari because of islamization. I think that's a wrong conclusion. the didn't vote him because they don't like him, its democracy u choose who u want. the op is part of the problem of Nigeria instead of talking about how to restructure the country, he is talking of how to acquire power and probably continue the bad leadership cycle. |
MORNDEW:. I can see u aren't ready for a sound, rational and logical argument, devoid of dilly dallying go back to your west and don't bother about the problems or issues of other regions. |
MORNDEW:I doubt if u are chimereze, cause if u are u would know that its the failure of all Presidents that has kept the east region the way it is, which federal presence is no the east, the only international airport is daily being undermined, why do you think easterners are trooping to other regions, because there is a lot of federal establishment in those areas which in turn provides jobs and create jobs, the governors, reps, senators etc are trying their best, but because of the way this country has been structured their efforts are seen as nothing, as without the fed support almost nothing can be achieved. which shouldn't be so. which course is a useless course, what is the course of Niger delta militants, what is the course of Fulani herdsmen, what is the course of book haram, what is the course of ombatse, massob, etc. all these agitation would continue until this country is restructured properly. I read all your write up still can't find what u proposed to change this country, instead u were interested in your people ruling the country again and probably following the same pattern of the past leaders, and then the poor leadership cycle would continue. as a civilized Nigerian u should be more interested in changing the country positively and not seeking to occupy power. |
MORNDEW:no success can be achieved with injustice and inequality, leaders have done little that's why the people have decided to do it their way, that's y u see protest, violence, bombings, anarchy, strife and Rancour. despite all these those at the top still haven't been able to apply reason to. restructure the country. u failed to also ask how all Presidents have used the resources at their disposal. the resources given to them, who gave them resources? man or Nature, are they supposed to be waiting for one irrational person in abuja to doll out cash to them before their states function. which is the bane of this country today. and until the right things are done nothing would change in this country |
MORNDEW:.. |
well said, but Osman ghazi won't succeed now as there are weapons and enlightened minds to silence him. in the first place religion is a scam, both Christianity and Islam. in the essence of Christianity by Feuerbach he stated " the ignorance of man fails to explain the natural and other phenomena and this leads him to take the help of religion. religion is your conscience, do what is right and do to others what u want to be done to u, that's my religion. |
OK... all these will continue in Nigeria until there is equality and nepotism is killed, because those who created this country never planned for progress and development. until each region have the same number of reps, senate, states and each state control their wealth, we would be like this in 20 years coming. |
OK good |
olarhtunji:do u know there are some declassified CIA documents u can get online, that they are no public figure doesn't make them or their activities sacrosanct or unknown. do u know how the bay of pigs was funded. do a little research. |
olarhtunji:no qualms, but I would urge u to browse on the CIA activities and how they raise funds for most of their campaigns, especially in the 20th century |
kennycanny:no need to display ur incivility here, if u have another counter argument state it, instead of saying trash. if u don't have state it no one is blaming the u.s, if u had read and assimilated well. |
kennycanny:no need to display ur incivility here, if u have another counter argument state it, instead of saying trash. no one is blaming the u.s, if u had read and assimilated well. |
olarhtunji:what about the millions of innocent people the govt has killed especially the u.s govt with its phony wars. the society made escoba what he is, if the govt has done the right thing there wouldn't have been no Escobar, do u know that there are more dangerous drug kingpins who walk freely in the u.s than Escobar today, the are given few minimum sentences and released, but the u.s is always quick to pit their noses in other people's business. if Escobar were to be in the u.s the highest thing that would be done to him is a minimum jail sentence and seizure of most of his wealth, as long as he pays certain taxes and remains non violent his drug activities might be overlooked. the CIA was also known to sell drugs to raise funds for some of their activities. imagine Escobar being an American he would be a middle man for the cia. |
olarhtunji:the only difference between him and some government is that some rule with laws and decrees with limits but his got no limit. most of what he built in Columbia like hospitals are still being used today to provide good healthcare for the people. if he hadn't been carried away by power and wealth. he would have changed his city to paradise ![]() |
a great man ... ![]() |
God help my people, for long these Fulani terrorist have prevented people from going to farm, but the usual Nigerian way the govt has to wait till people are being killed. |
doctokwus:nothing to verify its real, those guys have been terrorizing that community for long, for the past 1 year people of abbi community in uzo uwani LGA don't go to farm because of theses terrorist, the alarming thing is that govt is doing or has done nothing. |

CastedDude:. everyone eats yam, even you, I like it with egg sauce. |
but borno residents say otherwise. |
everything is an avenue for fraud in this country, some prospective corp members got their call up letter, and got posted to places like new York, Westminster etc. what is worrisome is that I don't know what the scammer tends to gain by releasing fake call up letter. for the batch A prospective copers, nysc would send you a message when your call up letter is ready. no need to be in a hurry, the call up letter wouldn't be out till the end of registration.

hmmm, this family sef, so blessed |
that senator should watch his back, before they send book haram towards him. this govt hates the Truth |
