I'm fine with Russia and China competing for sales in Sub Saharan Africa as long as Europe, Americas the Middle East and Asia remain America's cake.

Meanwhile a lot of wars will be fought in Africa in the coming decades, as the continent struggles for political balance and equilibrium. I'm sure China and Russia will be happy funding it. They like that sort of stuff.

Faithful007:
With Bush we might have a conversation.

However, Obama and Clinton did nothing wrong according to international law.

Faithful007:
U.S drones don't have the capacity to monitor airspace. That is the job of the E-3 (AWACS).

Occasionally, the USAF has flown the Predator/RQ-A in Nigeria to provide surveillance data for the NAF whose aircraft aren't as advanced and are often out of service. The missions are often classified but that doesn't mean the Nigerian military isn't aware.

The way you talk shows me you're just an internet analyst lacking knowledge about the true nature of military operations in Nigeria. The U.S.A.F. has assisted the NAF since the inception of BH/IS. The US Navy/ Coast Guard do organize joint drills to tackle piracy in West Africa. These things don't cost the U.S any significant amount and helps a great deal to maintain relations and support areas of mutual interest.

Of course they benefit the US as well. Leaving terrorism to rise in Nigeria will be dangerous to western countries. Leaving piracy to rise will affect world shipping routes.

QuietMynd:
How can that building cost 38 dollars.
When there is no production lines inside

QuietMynd:
Benefit from whose powers.
How about standing on ur own, running your own show by urself.

Damn, when they say the leaders we have in africa is a replica of the society, this guy is an example.
Imagine having this guy as a leader in Africa, he will sell the country to outsiders.

Stormtrooper11:
If you believe that the United States will build a Drone base in the Aír region of Niger with costs running to 300 million dollars, with primary intent, I repeat primary intent to spy on Nigerian territory, then you might be wrong. Their are more willing Nigerians to do the job than willing Americans.

Personally, I'll want a great Nigeria which will spear head the removal of foreign presence in the West African region and entire continent and not one which is a pawn amongst powers. Maybe in the near future, we won't punch below our weights, diplomatically.

The United States of America, just like Russia and China all have their personal interests and aims in the modern "scramble of Africa". It's left for African people to ensure they benefit from these powers instead of believing that one of them truly loves the African people.

Interesting coverage from VisualPolitik

Comparing fighter jets based on names alone is like comparing a Toyota Camry to an Accord without referencing the model and year.

Do you see the pic below? Thats is an F16 Viper. Deliveries only started around 2018. While that SU-30 might handle the C/D models in proliferation, It will not stand a chance against this sexy motherfucker.

Faithful007:
Conspiracy theories.

Lurker4Long:
You forgot the Central African Republic, and to a lesser extent, Sudan.

GreenandGold:
The reason why these are available for show, is because the rest are at work!

GreenandGold:
Random internet Clown 🤡: The SAAF has no flying aircraft anymore

The reality: (just last week) 👇👇👇

GreenandGold:
That 1 Frigate, can sink all the ships in the Nigerian Navy, and shoot down all the jets in your Air Force... it would literarily patrol your waters unchallenged.

You not having a single frigate or anti-ship missile is something you should worry about.

jl115:
It won't collapse, that's why we have loadshedding, and yes we do have nuclear power but our reactors are under going maintenance

GreenandGold:
Since you asked, so basically;

- New people were added to the grid without adding any notable new power
- Old power stations not replaced
- Centralised power generation
- Dodgy contractors, etc

Current nuclear energy is not sufficient, and no the grid will not fail, the blackouts are to prevent that.

Look who is in town.... I can't tell if this is the same hat he wears always or a different one

(Hope they discuss serious issues like kicking Rwanda in the DRC)

Hello, Exnavyboy62 san!

Please forgive me to write about North Korea kidnapped Japanese peoples.

There have some reasons.

One of Japanese victims who came back to Japan in 2002, talked about they wanted him to be their spy at first.
They kidnapped him in 1978 with his wife.
Japan got back 5 victims in 2002 and this victim is one of them.

It's said that their main purpose is enter South Korea.
Because North Korea nationals are difficult to enter there.
So, they wanted Japanese victims to be their spy and they wanted send them (Japanese) to South Korea.

But their plan is failed or something like that, this victim became like Japanese teacher.
Like GabrielYulaw san said, this victim taught them Japanese language etc.
Reason is they wanted to be fake Japanese.
Sorry, How do I say it in English?
Impersonation? Imposter? Identity theft?
So, they needed to learn Japanese language, culture etc.

Another reason is they wanted use Japanese victim's identity for another Japanese who already became? brainwashed? their spy to enter Japan and kidnapping more Japanese.

Sadly, one North Korea's spy who is a Japanese woman kidnapped other Japanese woman in Europe around in 1983.
She is still not come back to Japan.

According from Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (from their website), "The following is an outline the cases related to the 17 abductees identified by the Government of Japan.
In addition to the 17 Japanese citizens already identified as having been abducted by North Korea, the possibility of abduction by North Korea can't be ruled out of 873 other missing persons (as of October 2021).
The Government of Japan has been conducting information gathered and investigation activities both Japan and overseas."

One of other website about North Korea kidnapped Japanese is "Abduction of Japanese Citizen by North Korea".
This website has English.
They have free download documentary animation film "Megumi".
This have some foreign languages including English.
I'm planning to watch it.
This animation film "Megumi" is about Yokota Megumi san.
North Korea said she is already dead.
They sent two victims' remains to Japan and one of them is her.
But Japan Government did DNA test and result is those remains are nothing relate to them.
Nort Korea sent unknown persons' remains to Japan.

Nort Korea claiming 8 victims are already dead and 4 victims are not enter North Korea.
5 survivors and their families are already sent back to Japan.

But those 8 victims, North Korea said they are already dead is without any proofs.
And they said 2 of their remains are already sent back to Japan which is I already wrote about it and other 6 victims' remains are buried at three different cemeteries and they are claiming all of their remains are swept away in heavy rain.

Terrible. Really really terrible.
And North Korea kidnapped is not only Japanese.
They kidnapped some other nationalities too.

I'm so sorry for long long writing.
But I hope this will be useful information to you

GabrielYulaw:
You still don't get it. Lemme restate what I said. China would never allow a US invasion in its backyard, moreso as such an invasion might be a Western pretext to invade the Chinese mainland. Ditto Russia.

And Kim does not do what he does for his nation's survival. He does what he does for the survival of the Kim dynasty, North Korea be damned.

And that is my last comment on this issue. Vote wisely fellas. Let's make sure that the labors of our past heroes were never in vain.

GabrielYulaw:
You are either naive or unexposed to geopolitical realities.

Ever heard of a little something called a map? Take a look at where North Korea is. Notice it shares borders with both China and Russia?

According to you, north Korea is developing nuclear weapons to prevent the US invading it. And it never occurred to you that if such an invasion happened, it would bring US and NATO forces right within areas both Russia and China consider inviolable. Like China go just smile encouragingly as the US invaded North Korea, right?

Do research the Korean war when you can, paying particular attention to China's reaction to the invasion of the North by UN forces led by the US. Plus ask yourself what Russia is doing at the moment just because Ukraine, a neighboring country is falling into the Western orbit.

Faithful007:
Biden when was on his way already when Russia was notified. If for anything, to prevent silly stories. Not like Biden was waiting somewhere for Putin to permit him to enter Ukraine.

"I'm visiting Ukraine, missiles are at owner's risk" basically.

peacefull:
Thank you so much too!

I'm so glad to hear that!
Yeahhhhh!! ＼(*´∇｀*)／
I love JSDF too and I'm really proud of them!!

Kumano is one of Mogami class stealth frigate!
And I have checked about if Japan still making new frigate.
What I read is two Mogami class frigate will launch this year.
One is around June and other one is around November.
And still planning to make another Mogami class frigate.
That's what I read

Oh! I understand now.
They are still very active!
But not active for war like in the past.
They are very active for protecting Japan and Japanese peoples.
They are also helping peoples in overseas like humanitarian assistance and emergency assistance etc.
I really appreciate them and I really proud of them!

Faithful007:
I think the Nigeria vs South Africa debate has finally been settled.

peacefull:
I checked about if Japan making a new stealth frigate right now.
Maybe Kumano? But Kumano is already commissioned last year.

Sorry, What is meaning "Japan been in the shadows"?
Please I wanna understand well.

Anyway, I'm sorry for very late reply to you.

ItooWorWor:
This is unbelievable

Thank you so much!
I really appreciate you!!

This website is like my textbook
I like pictures especially ships and aircraft pictures on this topic!

Where I'm living is not very far from Japan Defense Forces base and US military base.
Almost every day their aircraft is flying in the sky around my house

You are weak bro, very weak..... Malcolm had his own views, even a religious fanatic who was no different from Boko Haram, Alshabab or ISIS. He does not represent Africans in any form or shape.

You trying to use him in this debate makes you a rac#st idi#t who thinks what one African thinks applies to all Africans.
