Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Warns 'bombs Will Go Off' If No Deal, Iran Says Ready With 'new Cards' by Catapault: 7:53am On Apr 21
Baxilexi:
The IRGC must understand that the so called ‘new cards’ will unleash an unprecedented amount of pain on them in retaliation.

Isreal is more than happy to reduce their cities to Gaza.
Trump is first a businessman, successful one at that before a politician. One question the leaders should ask themselves is if the theocratic agenda is more important than the survival of their nation. Especially when the same population are averse to it.

They’ve tried to curry favor from Muslim nations which have rejected their style of leadership and will never revert back to skewed fundamentalism. Lebanon is in talks with Isreal, the GCC, Jordan, Syria, Egypt and even Pakistan are with the US.

There is no permutation where they win this, they can consult Dr Strange if that would help, but as it stands the US holds all the infinity stones.
You talk a lot of rubbish.

The same hubris and ignorant assurance of US primacy in everything, forgetting that the Americans have NEVER actually won a war in their entire existence.

Israel is the one being reduced to Gaza, because they have no interceptors to stop Iranian missiles.

It's not propaganda:

''What have US military bases done for us in Iran war, UAE asks''

https://www.thetimes.com/world/middle-east/article/us-military-bases-united-arab-emirates-close-calls-mm3j3wcgg

UAE is even threatening to DUMP THE DOLLAR AND USE CHINESE YUAN INSTEAD FOR OIL TRANSACTIONS.

Of course as we know, the PETRODOLLAR (ie countries all trading oil in dollars) is what keeps America strong. Take that away and America becomes history.

And the way America is going, that's only a matter of time. wink

That is how they do their democracy in western world. You don't even need to know the candidates . All the candidates of each political parties will just put their manifesto through the little opening in your door to your house especially in the UK. Foristance in the UK there is going to be local government elections coming up in two weeks time. All the parties are involved in distributing leaflets. It is left for you to vote or decide not to vote. Politics in western world is not a do or die affairs.
All those things are 'arrangee systems'. When you try to establish an independent party and get frozen out by their media, you will get sense fast.

They look democratic on the surface, but when you look deeper they are one-party states masquerading as democracies.

It doesn't matter which party you vote in, they follow the same core policies, eg support for 'Israel' no matter what they do, and such corruption.

America is a very clear example of this.

See how quiet their so-called opposition has become, as Trump threatens to annihilate entire civilisations.

They are all one and the same.

Also none football ones like madam koi koi

Senseless! So he expected China to fold her arms and do nothing.Why 90 days to other countries?l thought everything about him is with immediate effect.Running a country is different from running his real estates or hotels.He sure knows the compounding effects of his decision if other countries begin to impose their tarrifs.China is a global player and would continue exporting to other countries.

He doesn’t know anything, he doesn’t read, he’s just a privileged narcissist.

Stop talking ignorant rubbish.

Russia and China are in Burkina Faso. It is the WESTERN nations Traore has rejected, not ALL nations.

There is nothing wrong with extraction of resources. Without extraction of resources you wouldn’t be alive.

Nigeria has laws ensuring that the country’s resources are not exploited by investors to the detriment of Nigeria.

If you currently lack the capital or resources to engage in advanced mining, you have to engage foreign investors.

Who the hell is ''we''?

Did you start a mining company and were refused permission to mine?

The Chinese investors coming in are not govt officials. There are ordinary private citizens like you that went into mining.

So who is ''we''?

If you are not into mining, who are you expecting to do it?

Me?

Politics › Senate Assures Support for Chinese Investors Bringing $1 Billion to Nigeria by Catapault(op): 7:37am On Apr 09, 2025
The Senate Committee on Solid Minerals has pledged to provide legislative support aimed at protecting Chinese companies planning to invest $1 billion in the country’s solid minerals sector.

Representatives of the Chinese firms were at the National Assembly to secure the assurance of the federal lawmakers before investing their funds.


They planned to invest an initial $500 million in Zamfara, Kebbi and Nasarawa states and bring another $500m if they enjoyed a favourable outcome.

Meanwhile, the acting Chairman of the Committee, Senator Onawo Mohammed Ogoshi (SDP – Nasarawa South), gave the assurance during an interactive session between the panel and a Chinese delegation.

According to a statement by his media office on Sunday, Ogoshi assured the delegation that the Senate will provide enabling legislation to protect their investments in any part of the country.

He said: “The Nigerian Senate is supposed to give you all the necessary encouragement to come and bring this huge amount of money to our economy.''

“Our laws on solid minerals exploration are very robust. We intend to make it more robust by amending some of the laws that are obsolete, outdated and enact laws that will give your companies better protection in doing good business in Nigeria,” he said.

He appealed to the delegation to bring in more investors into Nigeria to do business.

Also speaking, a member of the committee, Senator Adamu Aliero said: “I join the chairman to commend you for coming to invest in our country. You have come at the right time when the country is ... diversifying her economy.

“We had a mono-economy before now, where we depended heavily on oil for our foreign exchange earnings.

“However, the federal government has realised that we had no better choice than to look for other sectors of economy to earn revenue to finance our budget and solid minerals is one area where we have a lot of potentials.

“We will do all we can to facilitate your involvement in this sector. We will liaise with the Ministry of Solid Minerals at the national level to secure licenses and to give you permission to go and start mining.

“We will also talk to the governors and the traditional institutions to ensure that you have free access to the areas where you are going to do your business and once that is done, I don’t think you will have any problem,” he said.

Earlier, the leader of the delegation comprising some solid minerals exploration firms from China, Mr. Chen Twan of Zong Hong Kotai Group said that the delegation is coming up with an initial $500million to invest in three states of Nigeria, comprising Zamfara, Kebbi and Nasarawa.

He noted that if they do well within the first one year of their exploration in the three states, they would extend their investments to other states that have solid minerals’ potentials.

Mr. Chen Twan said: “If we test the waters and see that it is good, we will attract more investors to Nigeria to invest in minerals deposits.''

“As an international group, our company specialises in mining and bitumen. In the past few years, we have invested extensively globally, and on that strength, we have come to Nigeria to survey the possibility of investing in the mining and industrial park sectors in your country for the coming year.

“We also have another investment in Nigeria and we will make that known in the course of our stay in the country.”

Also, a representative of Nigerian investors and Managing Director of El-Tahdam Exploration Limited, Mr. Adamu Tah, said: “Over time, we have been engaging them for the past two years. We have gone to their factories in China.

“I have personally visited their factories for the past one year, I saw their processes and we know what they do and we trust them and we are a Nigerian based company.

“They are not coming to Nigeria on their own, they are coming based on the investigation they have done, the companies that we have and the licenses that we have acquired.

“So, they are coming to build on those licenses and that is why when they came, we had to introduce them to our fathers so that they will have full confidence of investing in Nigeria knowing that we are a true company doing the right thing and following the laws of the country.”


He said the support of the Senate has given them the courage to invest the huge amount of money in the nation’s solid minerals’ sector.

“With Senate’s support, they still want to invest more money into this venture and if that is good, they intend to invest another $1Billion into the solid minerals sector when this first phase of the investment scales through,” he said.
