Are they digging in too deep into the deep state's affairs by any chance?

HacheNoire:
You nailed it at some point!

But it was a sacrifice any sensible nation will be willing to make for peace irrespective of differences.

Is it now better now that they stood on the sides and watch everything burn down?

It's not that easy even if he wants to make the sacrifices. The blowback from US especially would be huge, don't forget Saudi has almost 1 trillion $ investment in USA which may come under jeopardy if Saudi starts balancing relationship with a major US's adversary in the region, so Saudi already has US and Israel's d!ck deep in its throat.

Bin Salman laid his bed, he will lie in it. That's why Henry Kissinger said it's fatal to be America's friend.

HacheNoire:
Saudi could have rallied her brothers and stopped the genocide in Palestine.

Saudi was in position to take sides or mediate with Iran on his nuclear program.

It failed to do and now that everywhere is burning down, the crown prince is busy calling Trump.

You couldn’t mend fences at home but had to call North America.

To even think the large majority of Palestinian muslims are Sunni, just like Saudi Arabia but of course Bin Salman prefers to be US and Israel's hoe and let Gaza burn.

On Iran's nuclear program, I doubt Saudi can do much on the mediation side given they've been long standing strategic, political and geopolitical rivals with Iran, they're also divided across the Shia-Sunni lines too. Logically Saudi Arabia should have good relationship with Iran but this is realpolitik where sometimes, geopolitics defies logic.

Again, it's a multifaceted attack on BRICS and for South African's stance on the Gaza genocide. South Africa can wait this administration out and hopefully the next administration would be sensible enough to accept reality rather than trying to keep the status quo alive.

HacheNoire:
It’s too late!

That shiithole called Saudi was in position to halt what is happening today but stood behind the oppressors thinking it was protected.

At this point, everything needs to be burnt to the ground.

Well, my plea to them was from the viewpoint of stability in the region and global energy security. Like you said, it’s a misfortune of their own making. If Iran and Ansarallah deem Saudi fit for decimation, then so shall it be. At least that may limit the spread of Wahhabism to East and West Africa. I’d take that as a big win.

It's best for Saudi Arabia to make a deal. Its security and long term stability depends on diplomacy with the power in the region which is Iran

And you think that with all the technological advancements of South Korea, they too will just wait for North Korea to cut their neck.

Una always dey make the mistake sey peaceful people no sabi fight.

Crawl back to that cave you dug yourself out from.

This is 2026

Russia really dealth witht he WEST. As in if not the conflict and all the HELP rendered to Ukraine, the WEST for have enough to deal with iRan and mayBe China but as e be now. e no too sure for them.

Russia just dey slowly grind them away

That's why I laugh at those dhumbfvcks who says "Russia is struggling to achieve a quick victory in Ukraine" but if they are geopolitically literate and know how Russia fight wars, they would know that Russia is not fighting a conventional war but a war of attrition to slowly deplete NATO's military armoury. That's why President Putin called it "Special Military Operation".

A real war would be Russia - NATO, not Russia - Ukraine. If Russia wants to get Ukraine over and done with, they would have done that in weeks rather than years. But now, NATO has stretched itself thin, gave too much to Ukraine and destroyed by Russia, and NATO cannot replenish their military capabilities as fast as Russia.

That's part of the reason why Iran is successfully dealing with the US, also if China wants to move in on Taiwan tomorrow, they can do it successfully because now is the opportunity but China moves differently. They see Taiwan as family (which they are) and China would rather absorb Taiwan back into the Greater China family diplomatically, but giving them the Hong Kong style administrative autonomy, but if Taiwan refuses then China wouldn't mind military operation as the very last resort.

Well, Kim Jong Un has been itching to test his toys. South Korea may just be presenting him easy opportunity to do just that

But seriously, South Korea should thread carefully with diplomacy this time. I'm sure they're well aware that there are now punctures in USA security umbrella they so much rely on. If they FA, they will FO.

Saudi cancelled September crude oil shipments to European refineries.

Green energy champions should suck it.

Better get back in the kitchen - those dishes won't wash themselves.

goslowgoslow:
So there no winter in Russia?

Continue going slooooww my G 👍

mastermaestro:
As if Russians weren't already queuing for petrol. Both sides have been and will continue to suffer from this foolish war. Maybe you didn't watch Trump appealing to Zelenksy to stop pounding critical Russian energy infrastructure. You better follow update.

"As if Russians weren't already queuing for petrol. Both sides have been and will continue to suffer from this foolish war." - It's a war, Russia is expected to take some hit too. The outcome of this type of war is not decided by the side that suffered the most. One is fighting for its survival, the other is being used by the political West as a proxy against its much bigger and stronger neighbour which the political West has a long standing issue with. Is it a foolish war? Absolutely I agree with you on that - US/EU/UK shouldn't have started it.

"Maybe you didn't watch Trump appealing to Zelenksy to stop pounding critical Russian energy infrastructure" - Trump is not "appealing" to Zelensky to stop destroying Russian energy infrastructures, he's directly blaming Zelensky for high energy price globally, deflecting from his own responsibility for the closure of the strait of hormuz which is actually the significant reason for high energy price.

You don't 'appeal' to someone when you know you're the main reason their regime is still alive. Pentagon is responsible for supplying Ukraine the targeting data to strike deep into Russia by the way - just in case you don't know. Ukraine doesn't have that mapping capabilities.

"You better follow update" - 🤣🤣🤣 Funniest thing I heard today.

sagitariusbaby:
story! How many winter has Ukraine had since the war began? Ukraine is winning the war on all side, putin should give up already.

Of course

JuanDeDios:
Yes, that's what Mr Putin wants. What he'll get is another matter entirely. For now, all he's got is the Crimea slipping out of his grip.

Ah right Ok

JuanDeDios:
Tell: what awaits Russia?

What awaits Russia? The entire Donbas region. Either by military means or by negotiation.

Bookmark this.

Zelensky can continue doing what he's doing. What I know for sure is that a very dark, long and miserable winter awaits Ukraine. It's written in stone.

Well, Dangote is 100% right. Since they decided to go to war against Russia who has been their source of cheap energy, again they look to Africa for survival.

Europe is nothing without Africa, they have NOTHING! and will be nothing without Africa.

Trouble in paradise.

US is gradually decoupling from Europe, asking them to carry their own load, to be more responsible for 'NATO'. Trump is even threatening to send them invoice amounting to hundreds of billions of $ which the Biden administration sent to Ukraine in financial and military aid on behalf of 'NATO'

France is wiping Google and Microsoft off 2.5 million government computers

Germany has moved 30,000 government PCs off Microsoft Windows

Denmark too has dropped Microsoft Office.

Canada is pivoting away from the US and more towards the EU

Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are looking to decouple from 'United Kingdom'

Argentina is threatening UK over Falkland Island (The move has Israel's fingerprint written allover it)

EU is now pushing for sovereignty, including digital sovereignty, while some nations in the same EU would probable decouple from EU eventually due to the rise of right-wing populist voices in Europe. Looks like positioning for the new world order and UK particularly is weak at the moment - economy is in absolute shambles and would be a lot weaker if Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland decouples.

When Britain colonised about half of the world, there used to be a saying that "the sun never sets on the British Empire". It now looks like the sun is setting on Britain itself.

Big decoupling is happening, old allies with 'shared values' are splitting up, new alliances are being formed.

Is Africa taking notes? Is Nigeria watching?

Themandator:
How far


Hope you are keeping tab of the scoreline.. Houthis tricked out of their hiding places in the mountains into open fields and suyanized


Their spokesman killed some hours ago

The intelligence right now is that if all that came into the fight is what is left of the terrorist then the world can safely say they are now history as Yemeni Armed forces continues to exterminate them on all front

Kudos to world peace

Maybe you quoted the wrong person but if you meant to quote me, let me tell you something quick and I want you to take note.

I look at the strategic impact of situations like what is currently going on in this world especially the unprovoked war of aggression which US decided to launch against the Islamic Republic Of Iran, how it affects the energy market, what it means for the stooges and vassals of US in the Middle East, i.e., Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia etc, how it's shaping relationship, what that means for the new world order and importantly, the place of Africa in it and Nigeria by extension.

You can go through my previous posts and you'll see I don't engage in gotchas and tit for tat.

Take your brainrot Wizkid FC Vs 30BG FC to your fellows, I'm beyond that.

babzo:
Oga all this story in English .. I thought thats a sign of slavery?. When will you stop using their products and inventions and begin to use yours? Or at least stop using their language?

Oh I use their technologies, I speak and write in their language (even though comprehension in that language is a bit of a problem for me) now I've lost my brain. I just have to show gratitude, be grateful to master for this beautiful superior language and remarkable technologies that I get the rare privilege to use and be subservient till death.

Some are born slaves, will die a slave.

We're not the same.

nairalanda1:
It's funny how you guys minimze debt when it is other countries.

Oga, neither Iran or Nigeria can pay for anything called subsidy. Why we can't is the reason why we have never had good goverment.

Like I said previously, I'm not advocating for subsidy to return, to start with - Nigeria's economic reality cannot sustain subsidy, but Nigerians still need cheap oil to fuel businesses and ease cost of living. Why Nigeria has never had good government is partly down to poor choice but not wholly.

nairalanda1:
Iran has a debt of 130 billion dollars and growing .

Also, the Iranian government wants to remove subsidy, but the people dey eye them one kind.

Last time Iran did subsidy removal, there were riots..And what they did was partial removal.not full removal self.

Iran owes 130 billion dollars, Ok but aren't those debt owed internally? Are they owed to IMF and WorldBank? No. They have sovereign control because its internal debt is and is almost always denominated in the local currency, a government cannot technically run out of the money it owes

Needless to say that the debt is immune to exchange rate shock. If Iran's currency loses half its value overnight, its internal debt remains exactly the same in local terms, and of course there were riots when the government tried to remove subsidy and can be argues that the subsidy is a major contributor to their debt but they've been under sanctions too.

I'm not advocating for subsidy to return but Nigerians weren't prepared for the removal.

CodeTemplar:
Who are the NigerianAmericans or Israelis?

Ha I guess I should have put that in quote. I didn't mean it explicitly as Nigerians who are dual nationals of Nigeria and the countries I mentioned. I guess it's discernible then.

rossipki:
You should have thought about that before supporting imperialist warmongers and genocidal American and Israeli actions against Iran and Gaza.

JUST LOOK AT YOU.

You cheer and support as innocent children are bombed in their schools in Iran by the US.

But you want a perfect life for YOURSELF with no problems.

Dream on, you hear?

Karma doesn't work like that.

They can NEVER connect the dots. It's that bad

Nigeria has oil just like Iran. It has been the backbone of our economy. Iranians are paying 14.48 Naira per litre while Nigerians are paying 1,430 Naira.

But we have clueless Nigerian Americans and Nigerian Israelis parroting the rhetorics of the people keeping them in shackles. This country is not ready.

Just like how they flooded China with opium during the Qing Dynasty.

Tell me anything you use in Nigeria that is not directly or indirectly funded from those you call imperialists?

Tell me anything you are happily using to live in this world that is not made by them: Internet. Phone. TV. Food. Clothes. Planes. Even the language you are using to communicate is their own....

Tell me anything you use in Nigeria that is not directly or indirectly funded from those you call imperialists? - A slave always thinks his master is benevolent and always grateful for the food scraps that falls off master's dining table or whatever leftovers the master decides to feed him.

Tell me anything you are happily using to live in this world that is not made by them - Again, slaves hardly think for themselves, not because they can't in most cases but because they've been conditioned never to think.

Food? - No, slaves never think that his ancestors had food in abundance, they survived. If those ancestors didn't survive on food, slave master wouldn't have strong and healthy slaves to capture.

Clothes? - Slave's ancestors were actually ahead of their time and made beautifully woven indigenous fabrics with glorifying colours. Slave has been conditioned to think everything comes from the master.

TV & Phone? - Slave may not know that majority of master's technologies are actually ideas from other places and resources stolen from slave. Slave may actually need to save for a whole year or more before slave can afford the most basic TV brand new. Slave may need to save for 5 years or sell both kidneys to be able to walk into a phone shop and purchase master's made phone.

Plane? - There are chances that slave only see these flying objects in movies, social media and never been near one.

A bird born in a cage will always think that flying in the wild is abnormal.

Enjoy your cornmeal and salted pork. - (I guess that's even a luxury for slaves nowadays)

Stolen:
LEAVE CHRISTIAN OUT OF IT, AT LEAST THEY HAVE CHILDREN AND WOMEN IN CHURCHES.


THIS ONE IS JUST MILITARY AGE MEN BLOCKING PEOPLE ROAD IN THEIR STATE.


SOMETHING IF DONE IN KANO THEY WILL USE AS EXCUSE TO START XENOPHOBIC KILLING OF NON MUSLIM AND IGBOS.

Stolen national identity
Stolen awareness of self
Stolen sense of logical and critical reasoning

All three are interrelated, we have another proof.

"Stolen" indeed.
