Everyone said that same thing about Adulf Hitler before he started the second world war. Nobody can face the whole world like a power drunk tyrant and win. This 3rd world war coming eh, na yam pepper scatter scatter. US and Israel go park one side, EU another side, Russia, North Korea and China one side, Africa go choose any country dem like to support knowing fully well that Africa will be the free for all testing grounds for sophisticated nuclear weapons. South America and the middle east will be as confused as Africa because the US has made an enemy of everyone recently,
After the end of the upcoming Trump World War TWW, 90% of the whole human race would have been destroyed. There won't be a winner to be honest.

Well America will find out - It's going to be a major miscalculation and will spell the end of America as we know it. EU is completely isolated. They've found out the hard way because USA has coerced them to stop buying cheap Russia's gas. America will end up selling Venezuela's oil to the EU at maybe 4x the price. Now same America has abandoned them, unofficially withdrew from NATO, and also desperate to take Greenland which is a NATO member state. I've been saying it for a while that EU is a toothless chihuahua. They're so weak. They've now realised how weak and isolated they are and have recently been talking of opening dialogue with Moscow again. You never know maybe EU will join alliance with Moscow because realistically, Russia would make a better ally as a neighbour that they are, against EU's "ally" across the Atlantic (USA) but "realistically" and realpolitik are two different kettle of fish. Ideological differences will prohibits such alliance.

I don't think any African country would be automatically obliged to join in WW3 but if it breaks out, it's going to be damaging for the continent if not for the whole world. Alluding to what you said about the destruction of the human race following a WW3 - one of Albert Einstein's popular quote says "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

At least I like Trump for one thing - What other Western head of states has been doing covertly for decades, Trump took the mask off and is just doing it in full spectacle of the world. Openly saying "We are Americans, we are great and the most powerful nation in the world because we pillage and steal from the rest of the world. If you have what we need, we are coming to take it and there's nothing you can do about it" Trump - The Pirate of the Caribbean. The Pirate of the world more like.

The rate of Christian genocide in the United States is alarming and deeply concerning. Such occurrences should not be accommodated in a democratic society. Nigeria stands ready to offer any support the United States may require during this difficult time. In light of these developments, Nigerians are hereby urged to consult regular travel advisory updates and remain vigilant while planning any travel to and in the United States of America Pirates. Especially in the following states.

Michigan
Minnesota
Kentucky
Utah

By the name of the Holy Spirit, I shall cast common sense and critical thinking out of you. Amen! Sometimes I wonder how my ancestors were colonised but this video is one out of many reasons why I stopped wondering. Someone with a smooth brain like the woman being flogged deserves to be colonised forever. It's a dog eat dog world - Get sense or be dominated by someone else who has sense.

RealLordZeus:
And no mention of Drugs at all..

Venezuela is about drugs as much as Nigeria is about Christian genocide 🤷🏾 America doing the Lord's work, don't let no one tell you otherwise.

Man did the best for his nation - he fiercely resisted the colonisers. I guess his downfall would be his theocratic rule, especially in a country with young population who would very much prefer secularity. Surprise surprise, group of protesters are shouting for the exiled Shah prince Reza Pahlavi who has lived in America for four decades, to assume the leadership of the country. The protest looks like it has the fingerprint of USA and Israel on it.

UK was once an empire but now an America’s lapdog. Keir Starmer was stammering (no pun intended) when asked about his opinion on US’s aggression against Venezuela and kidnap of Maduro. The puppet couldn’t criticise Trump because he knows daddy will spank him for being a naughty boy. Now he’s complicit in committing international piracy. Europeans have always stole and pillaged long before they unfortunately met my ancestors. As they were then, they are now. They have not changed, they will not change.

Hellisreal70:
Why not advice the nigeria MuMu ticket holders to rule well so that americas can be begging to come and visit nigeria?

I'm not in a position to advise any "ticket holder", if by that you mean the Nigerian politicians or president. America has the balls of your president in his hands so why would Americans beg to come visit Nigeria when America president can pull the strings of your president by a single policy or a stroke of a pen or a couple phone calls?

Sit tight, Trump is coming to save you all. Then American citizens will be "begging to come and visit Nigeria". In fact, Israel too has joined the Africa liberation movement. Nigeria will be USA on steroids by the time Trump and Netanyahu is done saving you all.

Oh no. Including Nigerian Christians?

RaptorX:
I believe the potential for the closing of the strait of homuz is one of the reasons they invaded Venezuela, to replace the oil from Iran when they attack Iran

Yes that's a very plausible assumption. Though oil is not the only strategic commodity that passes through the strait but oil is the most important and like you said, USA may want to use Venezuela's oil as an insurance to reduce Iran's leverage.

What is equally important or perhaps the most important reason of the Venezuela invasion is America's realisation that Venezuela is aligned with BRICS. Venezuela is selling oil to Russia and China, transacting in currencies other than the dollar. With Venezuela having the largest crude reserve in the world and not trading in US$, that's a sure fire way to accelerate de-dollarisation and America sees that as an existential threat. So essentially it's a war against BRICS. It's also a war to keep the petrodollar system in place.

2RightHands1Coc:
You made some sense than your previous 2 colleagues who were rambling and take Iran off the equation. Iran will be flogged like a little girl, china doesnt have he appetite for war or even aggressive manoveus for now .the best they can do is war games and exercises . Only the USA has all the Oceans on Earth covered wit Thier carriers and only USA has the capacity to project power anywhere on earth. All you need to know is the USA is not falling anytime soon.

Who are these your previous 2 colleagues? Who’s your employer? China certainly doesn’t have appetite for war. Zhikai Gao has repeatedly said that “China will not fire the first shot, but China will not let you fire the second shot”. It’s in their doctrine. It’s America that has been and still fighting needless wars. But when it’s time for China to take Taiwan, maybe later this year or next year, USA CANNOT risk stopping them militarily because that will be a historic FAFO moment for America. That’s beside the fact that America recognises Taiwan as part of China. (One China Policy).

You really think Iran will be “flogged like a little girl”? Look, I restrained hard to point out your shortsightedness in previous reply but I’ll lay it bare here because you’ve demonstrated your understanding of the possible USA-Iran confrontation as a face-off synonymous to a boxing fight where Anthony Joshua - Jake Paul fights it out and the strongest beat the weakest and a winner is declared. That’s laughably simplistic.

Yes, Iran doesn’t match the USA in sheer military strength, but it’s far from weak and can inflict real problems on America. Take the Houthis in Yemen: Trump himself said last May they’re “tough and brave fighters.” What happened? America eventually reached an agreement with the Houthis because it couldn’t defeat them. Fun fact: the US recently captured an Iranian Shahed drone and reverse-engineered it. Why is America reverse-engineering Iran's drone? Iran has military capabilities it hasn’t even shown, and both the US and Israel know it. But in your mind, the US can just launch missiles from F-35 or submarines and that’s “Iran flogged like a little girl.” Hilarious.

If you'd like to know, the US cannot defeat Iran without a full ground invasion and that invasion will NEVER happen.

Then there’s the economic side, which so many ignorantly dismiss. Iran controls part of the Strait of Hormuz. Shut it down, and global trade collapses. Stock markets in the US and Europe would tank. Average Americans would feel it firsthand. But you cheerlead because, in your mind, that’s “soft work” because America’s the global strongman, right? Forgetting or ignorant about the fact that economic warfare is real, and China knows very well how to fight it. Does China want to fight economic war? no but the US started it and the Chinese are grandmaster at fighting economic war.

Yes, America projects military power around the globe today. But if you think critically, you’d ask: with the erosion of dollar dominance accelerating, how will the US fund this military power projection over time? Say, in the next 10 years and beyond. USA has already discussed reduction of their military presence in Europe, that is already happening. NATO is dying a slow death. Overtime, US will reduce presence everywhere else when the military budget can't stretch far anymore. History has already been here. Empires rise, they get too big for their boot, they overextend, and they fall.

Did you say America learnt from the mistakes of past empires?

2RightHands1Coc:
The wars the US are fighting are not big enough to drain it . Both world wars are what drained the British empire not the previous ones the fought and I'm asking you which country has the capacity right now to fill the vacuum that will be there if the USA is drained. Truth is the USA is not like previous empires,this in will reign for more than a thousand years brother,they have learn from the mistakes of previous empires

Both world wars were not the sole cause of the collapse of the British empire. Yes World war 1 and 2 were the final nail in the coffin but Britain already faced huge challenges even before the First World War, Britain fought rising powers (Japan, USA, and Germany) before the 1st world war and they faced domestic economic issues which makes it very expensive to manage the empire. That's partly how and why Nigeria and other colonies gained independence.

US may bite more than it can chew if it doesn't approach Iran with caution. Iran is not Iraq. Already they can't bully China anymore. Russia as well is standing up to US and holding its ground. Which country has the capacity to fill the vacuum? Why do you think China repatriated its gold reserves from USA? Other counties such as Germany, Austria, Venezuela, Belgium and Netherlands have followed suit. Though that doesn't mean much but in the grand scheme of things, it signals distrust.

If the USA loses its hegemonic status, no single country needs to fill the vacuum. The world has changed, the vacuum can be filled by multiple rising powers or bloc.

USA will reign for more than a thousand years? What are you smoking bro? crack? The fall of America is in nobody's interest but the decline is real and visible. Best way forward is for USA to recognise that that other powers are in town. But USA's arrogance goes beyond recognising another world power. It wants to remain and maintain the ONLY world power which is not possible anymore. America's attempt towards that pursuit will be the end of the country as we know it and will be studied in history books. Well, if the world survives it because chances are that the war may go nuclear.

2RightHands1Coc:
Can you please predict how the USA will fall because all I see and have been seeing is just wishful thinking. Wishful thinking won't change a thing

I don't make predictions, I recognise patterns and these patterns playing out nowadays are too coincidental to ignore.

Just before the British empire finally fell, they fought wars to maintain dominance. Yes they won the war militarily but they lost economic dominance that they once had over the world and Britain peacefully transitioned to America's junior partner.

Just before the Roman Empire fell, they fought wars to maintain Rome's status as the dominant global power. What later happened? Rome collapsed due to economic strain, administrative, demographic decline, political instability and military fatigue.

Just before the Spanish empire fell, they also fought wars to maintain hegemonic status which drained their resources, manpower, and finances.

All these, out of other signs, are happening in America. That's why I said America is cornered.

A cornered power lashes out indiscriminately - That is currently happening, USA is threatening both friends and foes (Europe, Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Mexico etc)

A cornered power loses monetary credibility - BRICS is challenging dollar dominance, USA is in 38 Trillion dollars in debt.

A cornered power faces alliance collapse - Currently as I type this, Europe is on its way to Death Valley. Canada doesn't see itself as USA's ally anymore. Japan will most likely jump ship eventually. Other allies in the Indo Pacific wouldn't even think twice about jumping ship.

Bottom line is - America is facing an inevitable collapse. It will be a gradual fall rather than a sudden collapse and that collapse is already in motion towards south.

josielewa:
What Trump is trying to do is to make the whole world pay its debt. They will rather see the whole world in flames than see themselves defeated economically. Cant you see he is attacking brics nations in the carribean and south america. It knows that if almost 65percent of the world ditches the US dollars, then the dollars becomes paper. The advantage America has over other nations is the dollars, reason why they have the highest military, they can just print more dollars to fund the military anyhow, and somone most times has to pay for it, regime changes and false military operations around the world. The dollars is highly inflated as we speak because it's just printed anyhow. The world carries the burden of the american dollars, because it's literally not backed by anything of their own but against world asset and natural resources. If more than 65 percent of OPEC countries ditch the dollars, then that will be the end of the US dollars

Your assertions are exactly why I said USA is cornered. Other world powers are rising such as China and India out of a few others, challenging America’s greatest weapon - THE DOLLAR, through de-dollarisation, courtesy of BRICS. The decline of the dollar means decline of America’s world power also through the petrodollar system because oil sales are priced and settled in US dollar but that is changing and America is feeling it.

That’s why we have the proxy war in Ukraine, to strategically defeat Russia which is one of world’s biggest oil producer. That’s why we have the proxy state of Israel keeping Iran contained because Iran is also a big player. That’s why we had the banditry in Venezuela couple of days ago because Venezuela has the world’s largest deposit of heavy crude oil and the country is aligned with BRICS. That’s partly why Nigerian christians caught Trump’s eye because Nigeria also is a BRICS partner country.

Goo0dHardDick:
Donald Trump should continue as the US president for at least 10 more years.

The man is seriously restoring sanity to the world. I heard he is out to fish and deal with all drug dealers worldwide. Sadly the fg cannot utter a word as usual. Tinubu must be silent as a graveyard if he wants to remain in Aso rock otherwise I see trump packing Him away to Chicago

Restoring sanity? Man is out there restoring colonialism. The CIA are the largest drug trafficking cartel in the US but we have someone here thinking all these mafia adventures is about "drugs". Some people should really not be having a say in geopolitics.

USA is cornered and these are all the signs of a cornered, declining world power. We are essentially going back to full scale colonialism. Trump committed banditry in Venezuela, he can do the same in Columbia, Cuba and Mexico but how that will play out is a different kettle of fish.

With Iran, the attack can be expected in a couple of weeks, if not days. Iran will not sit tight and take it. Besides military response, Iran will close the strait of hormuz, sending world trade into turmoil.

There’s great possibility that he will take Greenland, Europeans will scream for a while but there’s nothing they can do about it. Trump will kill two birds with one stone in this case. Taking Greenland will mean the end of NATO. He wants to get rid of NATO anyway - Good riddance.

America is tripping itself up and this will not end well.

Morally right? Moral and (geo)politics in the same sentence?. Kemi should take several seat. She wants to be Margaret Thatcher so bad but she isn't.

The Neo-con globalists wanted mass migration, they got mass migration. They've poked the bear in Russia and the indigenous Europeans are refusing to fight EU-Russia war on behalf of the Neo-Cons. They couldn't hold a solid stance on America's illegal invasion of Venezuela. EU is getting closer and closer to its demise - No power or influence on the global stage and a strong domestic dissent brewing back at home across Europe against their prime ministers and presidents. Interesting times ahead

Racoon:
This one seems to forget that once you're a world power, your are in your own class. Person wey pass you pass you. It only depends on the pecking order position you're presently occupying.

The sit-tight democratic tyrants that littered the African leadership strata are just not different from the super bullies that they are accusing. They are oppressing and exploiting their people in the name of democracy.

In reality, some military regime are more democratic than this useless democracy being practiced in Africa as they uphold values, right governance, understand human rights & helps to promote humanity.

I would say exactly this, word for word!

Putindbutt:
What Trump did against the people and the sovereignty of Venezuela as well as against international law was absolute insanity.
Successive US Presidents had at some point committed grave atrocities against humanity, funded terrorism, some exposed for corruption YET NONE OF THEM WAS EVER PROSECUTED AND JAILED IN THE US.

Imagine someone evade the White House and picks up Trump for his many atrocities he has committed. Imagine someone picks him up with the excuses of him being a convicted felon, a pedo, inciting violence against democratic institutions, using his office to enrich his family and family businesses, supporting genocide in Gaza and all of that. Would the United States like that?, will wailers and Bitter Obidients jump up in excitement as they do now?.

This is a man that over 2 million Americans protested against his rudderless Government a few months ago. Yet acting above the law.

Bang on. There's no two way about it and it reveal the double standards in full glare. The masks are totally off!

I watched him yesterday say he didn't sign up for the job of a head coach but as a manager and will leave after his contract expires in 18 month. I knew then that he will not spend a week more in his role.

Venezuelans are celebrating the capture of Maduro but Agbadorians are crying on their behalf

Some Libyans celebrated the capture and subsequent d£ath of Ghadaffi.

Validated:
He will spend the rest of his life in jail, I trust the US. Belarus offered this man and his wife safe exit, but he chose to be brave by brandishing sword with his supporters cheering him to his final doom.

The same fate will befall all those who steal elections and hound opposition because they have power. Their supporters will keep cheering them until their doomsday. Where are the allies, China, North Korea and Russia now? Those he trusted only issued statements and that is all they can do.

But your own presidents was imposed on you despite claims that he stole the election and U.S was Ok with it because he serves their interest. Paul Biya has been Cameroon's president for how many decades again? France installed him there but continue cheering on democracy that only serves certain world powers EXCEPT you and your country. You see? this is where the analytical side of the brain goes into hibernation. Maduro wasn't captured because he "stole" election. Venezuela holds the largest oil reserves and US desperately needs that oil. If USA's intervention in Venezuela was because of "illegitimacy" of Nicolas Maduro's regime, is invasion and kidnapping of a head of state the right way to go about it? Blatantly breaking international laws? But yes does international laws can be broken depending on who it benefits.


"Where are the allies" Russia and China should send boots on the ground in Venezuela? nuke US or what exactly do you expect? Some people's way of thinking is just very somehow somehow.

SeverusSnape:
Even Biden. A democrat, Knows that Maduro is a dictator.

Every head of state that the collective West considers an adversary is labelled "a dictator". Geopolitics 101

That "whole president" ran a drug cartel like a common criminal, that whole president refused to hand over to opposition after losing the election, that whole president is a dictator who completely silenced every opposition.

The opposition leader had to disguise to leave the country to collect her Nobel peace prize, and finally the whole president was given multiple chance but thought Russia and China would help. So here we are and this is the story of Solomon Grundy Nicholas Maduro

The SEE EYE HAY are the biggest importer of drugs into the USA. But we are not ready for this conversation. America has always used pretexts to justify every illegal intervention around the world. If USA is concerned about drugs, shouldn't they be looking in Colombia's direction? But of course Venezuela invasion was never about drugs.

For what 5 naira is worth in today's Nigeria, wouldn't it cost more to print it than what it's spent on? I don't know, just asking.

Pedrop:
Just opening mouth without activating the brain first.

Why are they only able to sponsor terrorism through Islamic agents ? Why not sponsored terrorism through Christian agents ? Or is there something about Islam and terrorism ? So USA and Israel that are not of Islam are sponsors of Islamic terrorism all over the world ? There must be something wrong with Islam then if it is so.

Better call a spade a spade and stop giving excuses to bad acts

I certainly activated my brain, yours is clearly dormant. Go and read about how USA created ISIS. I didn't make the claim, John F Kennedy has mentioned it, former US senator has said it, an ex CIA agent has explicitly said it. A DGSE (French Intelligence) agent has alluded to the fact that they sponsor terrorists in the Sahel. It's a coincidence to you that all the islamist rebel group operates in resource rich countries? I'm not a religious juggernaut like you.

I'm not religious but I have nothing against any religion. This is part of their aim - cause a religious divide and distraction - us vs them, Christianity vs Islam, and obviously it has always worked because an average Nigerian like you is critically obtuse, asking daft questions of why it's always islam and not christians instead of zooming out of the religion distraction, drawing parallels, connecting dots and analysing patterns. Religious extremism is just one of many tools of the Neo-colonialism order but you're way too blind to see it.

The victims feared dead, most probably were wishing Anthony Joshua speedy recovery couple of days ago. Sad unpredictable life

Deep down, you know your average muslim neighbour is not violent and wouldn't force Islam on anyone. I've been saying it for too long that you're being played. The set of world powers that are "offering solutions" are also the same ones sponsoring, training and arming all the t3rrorist factions. But we're not ready for this conversation. Or are we?
