in other words, you are advocating that Nigeria should remain a local champion without any international influence that could create enemies, without any say in any important world event . When you have influence in world politics, you are bound to make enemies, when you are a real economic giant unlike the paper giant we claim in Africa, you are bound to make enemies. A country that knows its salt must be capable of defending itself militarily from both internal and external forces, advocating for only internal defensive capabilities is a mentality for a country that wants to remain at the bottom

That's it bro. Build a military that can stave off attack from mighty external power then you won't have problem dealing with internal insurgencies. I don't know what Egyptian military would have looked like if they had such mentality.

Just because Iran unveiled a hypersonic missile a week ago? Has Israel tried to build one before even thinking of building a system that can intercept it.

A country that said last week that it is not afraid of any weapon unveiled by Iran has come up with an urgent and quick hypersonic missile interceptor after a week of Iran's unveiling of hypersonic missile.

I was even thinking they intercepted 500 hypersonic missiles. You intercepted 6 hypersonic missiles with patriot system. Anyway the commander in chief is a comedian.

Venezuela has never been the same again after Chavez.

Honestly. Nicholas Maduro destroyed Chavez's Bolivarian Revolution. He destroyed the Venezuela Chavez worked hard to build.

Very funny 🤣. They should start with U.S past presidents that are still alive U.S under George Bush invaded Iraq without UN imprimatur and killed over 600 thousand Iraqi civilians. The war crimes America committed in Afghanistan must be looked into. Tony Blair of UK who joined America to invade Iraq must be arrested and Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.

Russia's nuclear doctrine is clearly spelt so why the talk about Russia's nukes everytime. Russia don suffer at the hands of the media.

maasoap:
The current drones being supplied by Iran to Russia are made from the reverse engineering made by the Iranian engineers on the USA drone captured by Iran few years back.

Ignorance on rampage. So anytime you hear about Iranian drone what comes to mind is the Shahed 171 Simorgh that Iran reversed engineered from the U.S RQ-170 Sentinel lols. Well, Iran had been building drones even before the RQ-170 sentinel 2011 incident. Iran started building drones 40yrs ago during the Iran-Iraq war and Iran has since gained experience in drone building. Iran was the first country to build and make use of Kamikaze/suicide drones in war.

Iran today has different array of drones in its inventory that bears no semblance to U.S drones.

Jamming and spoofing U.S drone in 2011 was a great feat for them. It demonstrated to the world the electronic warfare capability of the Islamic republic and by reversing the drone to make a copy of it is another great feat and I believe every country would want to lay hold of technology of its enemy to study it and that was what Iran did and it will do it again when the opportunity shows up. Iran is a drone power.

No not B21 but B2... The Americans are decades ahead of Russia and China in terms of Stealth technology. And you expect them to catch up with US latest tech that starts development 5yrs ago?... Their catch up should be with old Stealth tech like f22, B2 and F35 which they're even still yet to match not to mention this ultra modern tech that's still in development....

The way you guys believe no country can match any technology U.S deploys makes me laugh at times. The Tupolev Pak Da strategic bomber is being built with U.S latest stealth technology in mind so Russia won't build anything lesser and even Russia is building another which is a 6th gen fighter The Mikoyan Pak Dp/Mig-41with advanced stealth features and it will operate in near space much of the programme feature is still highly classified you can search for Mig-41 online it's on wikipedia too. I even read some where that the Mig-41 could have advanced features that U.S stealth planes don't have and could intercept hypersonic missiles..

The only delay I think they can have now is the due to the barrage of sanctions that has been placed on Russia but Tupolev and Mikoyan aircraft corporataion have said sanctions won't affect the development and timing of their programme cause they are sourcing all the materials locally even Pak Da will start air trials next year for the first prototype.

The true test of any weapon is the brutal school of combat. We can brag about U.S/Russia/China stealth technology but their true test is on the battlefield that is where the boss can be known but to just conclude that Russia and China are decades behind U.S in stealth technology is what I won't accept. The fact that U.S started building stealth planes before Russia/China does not mean Russia/China can't disrupt U.S stealth tech with their own tech.

Simeonjoe1:
No they don't.
Only China is trying to develop one H20 but still yet the capabilities of isn't up to the 1980 B2 not to talk of the B21 ulta modern stealth bomber.

If Russian should develop one it should be blow or on par with the B2 not this B21.
Infact most of them are using the B2 engineering format. A flight wing, no vertical tail, top engine intake, and flat bottom edge design.

Xian H20 is already in development and flying tests will start very soon. Russia too is already developing Tupolev Pak DA

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_PAK_DA

stealth strategic bomber which will begin its own air tests next year. The Russian PAK DA looks cool and its in a position to rival America's B-21.

When Fidel Castor seized power in Cuba, hundreds of thousands of Cubans, especially wealthy ones, fled to the United States. A good number settled in Miami and are now prosperous.

Apart fro. being prosperous, they are also very powerful. They are the ones stoking the hardline position against Cuba. Cuba also seized their assets. These Cubans and a vast majority of their descendants are probably the richest Hispanics in America. They also feel very entitled and snobbish and look down on theirs.

They align with the republicans, hence Donald Trumps hardline approach towards Cuba. They strongly believe a tough approach would break the Communist regimw, or at least make them miserable. Instead, the embargo has been used for decades by the Cuban government to explain why they are poor, as though over 200 other countries don't exist it they can trade with.

Cuba does have human rights abuses and a lot of propaganda goes on. It's economy is still largely communist and explains why it is still poor despite having probably the best educated citizens in the Americas, the US inclusive. The US embargo plays only a small part in its poverty. It's attachment to socialist ideals or hubris is the primary reason.

This is not true. Cuba being a communist country has no connection to what they are experiencing but uncle sam would want you to believe communism is the main reason for their woes because of America's own disdain for communism.

The fear that communism could spread throughout western hemispehere was what made America to constrict Cuba during the cold war not only Cuba every communist country was sanctioned and pressured by America. America see western hemisphere as its own sphere of influence and a communist country springing up there got them alarmed

We know the number of failed assasination attempts the CIA orchestrated against Fidel Castro not only that terrorists were sent by CIA to detonate explosives around the country every attempt made by Castro to develop the economy was hamstrung by U.S. In the year 2016 President Barrack Obama realised the wrong America did to Cuba and he tried to extend an olive branch by visiting the country but Fidel Castro declined to meet Obama because America really hurt that man it was God that didn't hand over his life to the America's CIA if you fail to assasinate a man after 600 attempts it can only be God. His brother Raul Castro was the one who met Obama and Obama said this during that visit to Latin America. He met Raul in 2015 and 2016

"Days of meddling in Latin America are past"- Barrack Obama

Obama promised to relax decades old sanctions against the country which he did but when Donald Trump got there he reversed those decisions made by Obama and put those sanctions in place.

The excuse they usually give is Cuba has human rights issues. Is it Saudi Arabia their ally that does not have human right issues. How many sanctions and embargo have been placed on Saudi Arabia.

Putin doesn't like Gorbachev, to him, Gorbachev was a western puppet

To be honest Gorbachev does not deserve a state burial. He allowed the USSR to collapse willingly which was a win for their enemy the Western bloc led by the U.S. He thought he was championing world peace not knowing that the west is never to be trusted. Look at how the west has treated Russia with contempt since the collapse of USSR.

They stopped giving Russia the respect it deserves after the collapse thank God Russia still has nuclear weapons if not that country would have been invaded and disintegrated by now cause that's the plan America and its NATO thugs have for Russia.

Even Gorbachev later regretted his actions if you have watched some of the interviews he granted since the beginning of this millenium most of them have been about regrets of his Perestroika and Glasnosts policies and allowing the USSR to collapse. The nobel peace prize he got in return does not worth what Russia is experiencing at the hand of the west today.

Gorbachev only served the interest of America and its western allies by allowing the USSR to collapse and Russia has paid serverly for his foolishness.

China underground agents

There is nothing like CN underground agents. If you are very current you would know that the South Koreans and Japanese have been protesting for years that U.S. should close its Camp Humphreys and Kadena Military base in South Korea and Japan respectively because they know those bases would be targeted should U.S and China square off in Asia. Now that the possibility of such conflict keep staring them in the face these days with U.S. provocative moves about Taiwan they have to protest again.

It's like U.S. is up to something. Cause I don't understand all these provocations.

nurudeen181:
how can russia be buying drone from iran when turkey is there, china is there. can iran make proper drone.. or why are they not listed among countries with supper drones

Iranian drones are very good, combat ready and tested. Their drones have experienced combats in Iraq, Syria and Yemen and they've proved their reliability and combat effectiveness. The Houthis in Yemen have used them to devastating effect. The Houthis flew them stealthily into Saudi Arabia in 2019 to blow up Aramco facilities under the watch of U.S patriot defence systems and have carried out more stealthy kamikaze drone strike since then

They have stealth drones that have flown over U.S aircraft carriers transiting the gulf taking the pictures of their flight deck in order to demonstrate how vulnerable U.S carriers are to their drones but western biased news outlets won't list them as one of the best producers of drones in the world.

And FYI Iran is the first country in the world to produce and use suicide/kamikaze drone also known as loitering munition. Iran is a drone power and has been in the drone business for decades and it continues to improve on its drone technology.

US was invited to most countries it has intervened militarily across the globe.

A barefaced lie

Turkey can sell drones to Ukraine but Iran can't sell to Russia. Lols.

mysticwarrior:
the rape of nanking was one of the worst atrocities committed against humanity no doubt about that. But At least Japanese were charged with war crimes and executed after the war.

Do you also know that during the occupation of Germany US, soviets and British soldiers raped about 190 thousand German women between the ages of 14 and 65 years. Young German boys trying to protect their mothers and sisters from being raped where shot and killed right in front of their mothers.

It should also be noted that an estimate of about 700 thousand German civilians were killed by US and soviet troops during the invasion of Germany? but US, British and soviet soldiers did not face charges of war crimes for this after the war, can I please ask why?

@the bolded. That is the injustice of war. All the major powers that participated in WW2 committed war crimes excluding China that was defending its territory from invaders. But the conquered were the ones charged for war crimes meanwhile the victors also committed war crimes too. The American General Curtis Lemay said one thing after the war.

If I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal -General Curtis Lemay

He was very right. He was the one who supervised the fire bombing of Japanese cities with incendiary bombs that led to many civilian deaths. It was a deliberate attempt to force Japan to surrender. It was a war crime.

The western allied powers committed atrocities on a large scale. The Fire bombing of Dresden and Operation Gomorrah also known as The Bombing of Hamburg. These were deliberate targeting of civilian populations with incendiary bombs that incinerated a whole city, villages, towns as a means of forcing Germany to surrender with the accompanied rape that followed.

If Nazi Germany had won WW2 USSR, U.S, Britain, France, and other allied countries would have been tried for war crimes by Germany too. Only the victors dictate rules after war.

baralatie:

You are comparing Russia inability to think through a problem without the need for an unnecessary,uneconomic and time wasting wars to a china that has worked hard to bring 1 billion of it's people to a life better than what Russia had a 100 years ago.This the achieved without going to war!


You need to be educated on the difference between the way the two nations solve problems!

Exactly. I'm just happy China is wise. Xi cares a lot about China's economic growth and does not want anything that will reverse their many years of hard work. But Russia does not care about what happens to the economy in the pursuit of Russia's strategic interest.

If China must maintain its growth level and the ties it has made with other countries it has to steer clear of debilitating wars. President Xi is wise and smart.

Ishitinyourlife:
They've surrounded the whole island and blockade it with thousands of millitary equipment, wtf do you think they are doing,posing for pictures .
They've started live fire exercises around Taiwan starting on Thursday
two su 35 jets has already crossed into Taiwan airspace
They've moved thousantof thanks into .
If you still don't understand the stakes here then you don't know what you're talking about

It's just posturing and a way of protesting Pelosi visit so another one won't occur next time. If China does not carry out these manouvers it would be seen as a weakling or a paper tiger. They have to send a message to America that they have what it takes to strike Taiwan if provoked. China can't just sit down and watch after it had made threats about the Pelosi visit.

If you are not ready to strike at least let the adversary (U.S) know what you can do if it happens next time. Hence the military manoeuvers from China.

Ishitinyourlife:
Bro you don't know much about how this international relations work, china has stated this over and over again,it is ready to put everything on the line for Taiwan. That's Their read line.
Their defense minister literarily said they will start a war when it comes to china

No China won't start a war. With that Xi's address to the Communist party. I believe China has weighed its options about invading Taiwan. A war with Taiwan would be costly. Taiwan is not just a walk over it has been preparing for such scenario for decades. I believe China will definitely prevail in such a war but at what cost? Hence the reason President Xi addressed the communist party to win hearts in Taiwan. If China can successfully infiltrate the government and politics of Taiwan, reunification will be easier for China.

Ishitinyourlife:
Resolute action of Which world,are you clowning Sir
You're in Nigeria and you still think a bunch of countries in the west is the entire world, the country that sanctioned and provided weapons to Ukraine represent less than 5% of the world's population.
So Which world are you talking about. You guys really need to stop this slavery mentality and stop thinking the west is the world they don't even amount to 10% of the world. India and china alone are 4 times more populated than the entire west.
China alone has an economy bigger than the whole of Europe.
And bro if anyone is stupid enough to sanction china their economy and production capability is gone forever, the like of USA will suffer badly cos everyone of them relies on Chinese labor.
China is the biggest market in the world for God's sake who is stupid enough to lose that, everything including your iPhones are from china

Is it only the West that sanctioned Russia? Don't tell me Russia is not feeling the effect of the sanctions. You can't tell me Russia's economy is what it used to be before the war unless we want to deceive ourselves.

This is not a slavery mentality. This is fact. As things stand China has plans to cement its relationship with many countries invading Taiwan will do a great damage to that. China knows U.S. won't risk a confrontation with her but there are other consequences.

As things stand China has the capability to take Taiwan but they are being restrained. Yesterday president Xi still urged the Communist part to win the hearts of the Taiwanese people so that should tell you China does not want to invade Taiwan they are being restrained. There is reason China wants to avoid war. China's world image is very important in forging alliance and winning new friends. This is the news below.

Win hearts and minds' in Taiwan and Hong Kong, Chinese leader Xi urges Communist Party

Ishitinyourlife:
Taiwan is not like Ukraine, it's a part of China and 90% of the countries in the world do not even recognize them as a self ruled island let alone a country,even USA does not recognize it's independence.
China should start a total blockade of the Taiwan straight,air and border and give them ultimatum to give in or start a millitary operation
It's like saying Lagos is saying it's not under the jurisdiction of the federal government

The resolute action of the world against Russia on Ukraine war is a deterrent to China. Not this time when China is looking for allies building trust and confidence around the world and cementing its economic ties with various countires that even U.S. is jealous of.

Though China is an economic power house and a great player on the world stage it will take a lot of effort to isolate China but still the economy will still have some cracks and setbacks should sanctions start rolling in as a result of its invasion of Taiwan.

President Xi is different from Vladimir Putin. Xi prioritises economic growth over any other thing but Putin does not give a damn about what happens to the economy in the pursuit of Russia's strategic interest.

Ishitinyourlife:
Not only you jare, but I knew they won't respond as firm and hard as Russia because they're not as strong as resolute, but it's still too early to decide what Thier course of action will be let's keep watching

What do you think China should have done?

mysticwarrior:
my brother you should have known by now that the Chinese are just making noises, if its a country like north Korea the US wouldn't even sneeze not to talk of sending their battle fleets to Taiwan, China can never be like Russia and North Korea.

What would China have done? Bring down Pelosi's plane? Start a war with Taiwan while Pelosi is still there?

I knew U.S. govt would encourage Pelosi to go ahead with the visit because U.S. does not like to appear weak in the eyes of the world. U.S wouldn't want the world to think it caved in to China's threat.

But trust me this Pelosi visit has laid a foundation for future confrontations between China and Taiwan. Because China has started sensing that the island would declare independence with the help of U.S. in the near future and China has to take some drastic measures before that happens.

Like you said North Korea is a rogue nation that does not care. If it were to be NK Kim Jong Un could order the sinking of a Taiwanese ship the way they sank a South Korean military ship in 2010 with their midget submarine killing all South Korean personnel on board.

We can't just call China a weakling or toothless bulldog. Let's see what happens in the coming days after Pelosi has departed. I know China wants to avoid war and the only possible way to start the unification of Taiwan is to infiltrate the govt and politics of Taiwan which is proving difficult. China cares a lot about its economy which will be affected by war with Taiwan coupled with a unified world sanctions against her. But we all know U.S. won't go head to head with China over Taiwan.

jimetagambo:
China would only shout and nothing will happen. The US is too big militarily for China to take on.

No Jimeta. This is between China and Taiwan

U.S won't even try to sacrifice any of its troops for Taiwan sake. They can only help Taiwan with military aid, logistics and intelligence. China won't lose anything in a war with Taiwan cause it is a war they will fight with everything they have just to re-unite that island with the mainland but the question you should be asking is. Is America willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of its troops over an island that has no historical connection to America?

Will American troops be motivated to fight such a war? I bet Chinese troops will be more motivated to take Taiwan and engage any adversary standing in their way cause they see Taiwan as part of the mainland that U.S subtly allowed to slip away. When the Chinese start losing troops in their thousands they would see it as a price they have to pay to bring back their erring province but when America start losing its own thousands troops over an island America has no claim over how do you think Americans at home would feel? It will be an unpopular war back home in America and trust me America won't even try that.

Is America willing to confront a peer-nuclear power like China over that small Island? This is not the China of 1960's.

Do you know what is holding China back from taking Taiwan now? It's the avalanche of sanctions that would pour in after such invasion what is happening to Russia currently serves as a deterrent to any other power that wants to undertake such a mission like Ukraine. Russia is getting isolated by the day. But trust me China is confident no power would stand in its way if it decides to take Taiwan today.

Lol..This is funny
