US makes lots of noise when it comes to war and in the cause of that, reveals more than is required. But Russia, they have huge surprises in stock. They are just waiting for the moment to unleash.
Why didn't russia wait before invading ukraine and georgia.?

China and Russia don't have many aircraft carrier, but China has the weapon to destroy all of American aircraft carrier in a single strike. Even America don't yet have a deterrence for that missile.

This is the DF-26 Chinese Carrier Destroyer. They can sell it to Russia. U know Russia and China are good military partners, Russia Will use it to destroy all American aircraft carrier if invaded or attacked.
lolololol.
Carrers destroyers are not new. It is just a mega-missile aimed solely at destroying vulnerable megastructures.
Anybody can build a carrier destroyer. Even Iran and south africa. It is just basically giant missiles.

Russia is building up against NATO dumbass! Now read this:


Russia Moves Nuclear-Capable Missiles To NATO Doorstep


Lithuania and Poland have expressed concerns as Russia confirmed the deployment of nuclear-capable Iskander missiles into its Kaliningrad outpost which borders the two NATO members.

The Polish government reacted angrily to Russia's move, calling it "very alarming", while Lithuanian officials said it could breach an international nuclear weapons treaty.

Linas Linkevicius, Lithuania's foreign minister, said on Saturday that “Russia is holding military exercises in Kaliningrad, and its scenario includes deployment of Iskander missile systems and the possible use of them. (Hahahahaha! Even the bastard foreign minister knows Russia don't play grin) We are aware of it,” Linkevicius told AFP news agency. grin

Russian officials, however, dismissed the concerns, saying that “contingents of missile troops have been moved many times and will continue to be moved to Kaliningrad region as part of a Russian armed forces training plan”.

Konashenkov said that one Iskander was placed in the open to “confirm the parameters of operation” of a US intelligence satellite he alleged was flying overhead. grin cheesy grin

Wedged between Poland and Lithuania and the Baltic Sea, Kaliningrad is vital to Russia's strategic position. grin

Judy Dempsey, a senior associate at Carnegie Europe, told AFP that “These types of moves by Russia are making the Europeans and the US nervous. [Russian President Vladimir Putin] is pressing all the buttons”. Hahahahahaa! grin cheesy grin

Meanwhile, Lithuanian intelligence warned earlier this year that Iskanders deployed in Kaliningrad “may be used for hindering the actions of NATO's allied forces in the region”. grin cheesy grin
And which nations make up NATO? Is it not european nations.?
Or is NATO = AMERICA in your mind? cheesy
NATO is europe's response to russia. America is gladly footing the bill both in finance and weapons because it kills two birds with a stone.

You are the fool here, you just told us that government regulations will take care of the greedy ibo transporters and I said that is not true.
If you want to emulate the US then let it be in the form of providing different options for consumers.
If government regulations does not prevent taxi operators in the US from cheating their customers why the hell do you think it will work here.
You know someone lost an argument when they start throwing tan[b]trums.
smh.
Different options is all well and good which is also another reason why Nigeria is a shitthole, but that is not the main thing in question.
You have no other alternative for your citizens, and yet the federal government failed to regulate the only one available.
That is the crux of the matter.
If the US had only one option, it would be heavily regulated than it currently is.
And no, taxi drivers do not cheat their passengers in the US.The system is regulated. That is another nonsense you concoted from your afonja mind.
And it is not because they are better human beings or have a higher moral code, it is because they have no choice.
What you put in is what you get out. Even if you decide to roam the whole times square in a taxi like a maniac, what you put in is what you get.

This is similar to what the ibo operators are doing, they exploit the passengers lack of choices. But unlike in iboland you can decide not to take a cab and take a public bus, a train or even fly.
[b]My friend, i am tired. I don't know if you are just trying to play dumb.
That is not a failure of government. It is just a driver taking advantage of a naive passenger. The same passenger can sue if he wants to. I doubt if there is any legal basis for such in Nigeria
There is no government regulation in Nigerian transport prices in the first place.
Unlike in developed climes, where prices for distance travelled is controlled by the government, there is no such thing in Nigeria.
The passenger and the driver already knows that the prices he would pay for the mileage is regulated by a fair system. It is left for the passenger to ensure that he/she does not use beyond the necessary mileage.
In nigeria on the other hand, there is no appropriate price for mileage , which is supposed to a function of government regulation. Anybody can fix anything, which is no real fault of theirs anyway. It is a national failure more-or less.
Bring american taxi drivers here and exposed them to unregulated capitalism, they would do the same thing.
There is a reason why the greatest fraudsters in the world like maddof and co are not igbo men or African for that matter.[/b]

Those meters? Lol, forget it my friend. I've had experience where they will take you on merry go round just to extract more money from you.
That is a different kettle of fish and you know it.
You are still being charged the distance travelled as read by the government regulated meter. It is not the government's fault that you don't know the routes very well. And then it is a civil crime which you can sue for.

This is no hollywood.
American military superiority is not hollywood. It has been proven time and time in the realm world.
American jets are real, american ships, american missiles are real, american nukes are real.
Infact, Hollywood most of time is trying to show the people what already exists in the spirit of american transparency.

you are wrong my friend, local council or district regulate taxi fares in every part of the developed world. Your taxi badge is issued by the local authourity and if you go against the condition of issue, it can be withdrawn.
And i even forgot,districts already regulates taxi prices.

There's nothing like superior capitalism anywhere and the US government does not go around telling taxi drivers how much to charge their customers, what they do however is to promote and environment where people have different choices.
That is why I agreed with the guy who mentioned high speed train.
I didn't mean superior capitalism as a word. I mean capitalism is obviously superior when compared to socialism atleast for progresssive nations.
Taxi drivers in the US have an automated meter that runs prices as appropriate with respect to distance travelled. Tapering with such by a driver is a crime that would earn you a jail time. And that is the government regulation i was talking about

Abegi, go and sit ur ass down..America this, America that.Do u think Russians re vainglorious like the Americans. U know nothing about wars, when push comes to shove the Russians will make use of those nuclear capable iskander missiles that ve been deployed to the border already because it's even in their military doctrines to use such wen necessary.

.Continue to think that Russians re pussies like the Americans, they will surely clear America's doubts wen it all begins, useless cowards that only know how to invade powerless or defenseless countries.
Cock and bull story.
The same peaceful Russia was not afraid to invade small ukraine and georgia.
My friend shut up. The truth is the US is the bigger-dog here, that is why Russia is playing defence and trying to stay in their lanes.
Beside, didn't you read that the US is merely responding to the recent Russian build-up in europe. Who do you think Russia is trying to build up against? It is not America i can assure you. Russia is trying to build up against weak european neighbours, and that is why NATO has to stop them.

Nobody mentioned government's failure to regulate capitalism in the east. They only complained about mindless greed and exploitation by ibo transport operators. Why are transport operators in other parts of the country able to self regulate by not gouging their customers?
Mindless greed is trait of humanity. And in places where the obviously superior capitalism is not regulated, exploitation would be the result.
Either in the US, UK or Nigeria. And that is why the US have agencies like the SEC, FBI and co to monitor and control mindless western capitalism.

This phrase should be substituted with Russian Intimidation. grin
Which ship is in Russian inventory that can intimidate the US? Which navy on earth can actually intimidate the US?
The US currently has more ships than Russian and china combined, and i am not even talking about the sophistication. What of the number of aircrafts carriers?
If you were smart you would have seen this as a ploy as usual by the republicans to further increase defence spending ,far beyond what is necessary.
The major defence industries in america are owned by republicans and they want to make money, even if it means arming america beyond the reach of any foe in the next 1000000000000 years.

NO friendship in business. Whether you are igbo or not,businessmen don't care and it has nothing to do with biafra.

Dont be surprised that most of those commenting on that page are even worse when on business dealing with their fellow igbo brothers.

As much as those transporters can be very insensitive, One also need to consider fuel cost, the comfort you get, extortion from police, demand and the need to make profit....so i don't blame them, it is pure business. if you can afford it go ahead and if you cant, find an alternative. Shikena
Have you forgotten that the igbo nation is the only place in Nigeria where capitalism is a general ideology. The rest of Nigeria are socialistic hell-holes.And they are not very good at it.
The part of Nigeria that had free education were taught by their sage how to be socialistic. The northern part of Nigeria on the other hand are socialistic through centuries of islamic conditioning.
Look at kemi adeosun's brand of economics- That is socialism ,though the very unsophisticated kind.

Simply a game of unconscionable capitalism where money has to be made ruthlessly. It is the same system practiced in america and the developed west though with serious government oversight to prevent exploitation.
It is far better than whatever almajiri socialistic nonsense Nigeria currently practices, the fact that there is no oversight by the federal transport authorities shows the utter hopelessness of the Nigerian state.
Infact, i think to an above average mind which is sorely lacking on this forum, it shows the promise of the igbo nation. A country ran on sheer capitalism where the poor can get to the very top on his own merits by playing the game of demand and supply. As long as there is federal oversight to prevent exploitation, it would be fine.

America is not a third world nation or a dicatorship.
It is a democratic institution that runs itself, with the powers of the president being liable to congressional oversights.
A one-man shows like russia and the rest can collapse depending on who is in play, but not countries like the US.
That is why i worry for russia when putin leaves the stage.

I laugh at the very naive comments posted on this topic!

We all know that a "lack of war" seriously hurts the American economy...and Russia's moves in the Eastern Europe is a veritable excuse for the American government (be it Obama or Trump) to once again flex it's military might.

And i laugh at some of you who think that Russia is ahead of the US....lol...dem no even come near...but a war between those two will never happen!...only proxy battles will occur.
Don't mind the clowns.
The US already has russia surrounded on all sides and some jesters still think russia is ahead cheesy. They are ahead and yet they allowed themsleves to be surrounded by a mortal enemy. Something that can never happen in US territories.
The smart ones among the rest of these russia-loving clowns know that nuclear deterrence is russia only defence against america, and i agree. And that is why putin has placed nuclear capable iskander missiles at the border like a coward.
The US would eat russia alive without those nukes in play.
