Aaronsrod:No be Pastor Kenneth Copeland be this? |
How about removing you first. |
God1000: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. |
Jokerman: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: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. |
God1000:A barefaced lie ![]() |
Turkey can sell drones to Ukraine but Iran can't sell to Russia. Lols. |
Oluwashina72:This reminds me of the musical legend Ebenezer Obey's song which says Ení rówó e lójú àlá tóún dunú, e ní kó te pá mó isé e nítorí ebi Tell that person who is happy because he saw money in the dream to work hard in real life in order to avoid hunger. ![]() |
mysticwarrior:@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: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: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: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: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 https://www.news-daily.com/news/win-hearts-and-minds-in-taiwan-and-hong-kong-chinese-leader-xi-urges-communist-party/article_84ce3eb0-3d2a-5b88-9337-289d79bc07d1.html |
Ishitinyourlife: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:What do you think China should have done? |
mysticwarrior: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: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 ![]() |
HBD Omawumi. More fruitful years ahead IJN. |
sapientia:How can you call Sankara a brutal dictator who was feared by many yet his country men still got justice for him after 35yrs of his assasination. The joke is on you sapientia. You are a confused ignoramus who has lost his sense of reasoning. Shame on you. Shame!!! |
Blablamalala:Don't mind that slave. Most Africans don't think they would rather follow their slave masters who made themselves arbiter of what is right and wrong, who is evil and who is an angel. It doesn't matter what the west calls Sankara and their salves in Africa like the guy sapientia. Sankara remains one of the greatest leaders in African history the revolutionary reforms he made during his tenure will never be forgotten. I still remember the unrest that led to the ousting of this perfidious Blaise Compaore in 2014. I watched as Burkinabes were shouting justice for Sankara. After Compaore was ousted and fled to exile Sankara's wife that compaore sent into exile after he killed her husband came to that country with a rousing welcome that should tell you Sankara has a good legacy and he will foreever be rememberd by generations yet unborn. But slaves like sapientia would rather lick his white masters boots by calling sankara a dictator because Sankara didn't allow them to suck and milk the country during his short tenure. The opinion of the west and the slaves sapientia and alphanomega don't matter because Burkinabes don't see him that way that's all that matters. The fact that they still pursued justice after many years of his death shows that Sankara was a man of the people. Rest on Thomas Isidore Sankara. |
sapientia:Sankara a dictator who made everyone fear him? Where did you get this nonsense from? I don't like using derogratory words on line but I'll use it this time by telling you you are insanely insane. Sankara was the simplest and easy going man in BurkinaFaso during his life time. He refused to use military entourage and orderly instead he drove himself in his small car with a pistol beside him for protection. In fact he was gotten easily because he was too simple and soft. Yeah that got him killed. Go to Burkinafaso he is still highly revered by Burkinabes. Your post reeks of ignorance. Head is paining you. Olodo. |
siofra:Communism is a threat to America's economy and sphere of influence. America spent billions of dollars during the cold war years fighting communism around the world. Sponsoring regime change and insurgency in communist countries through the CIA. America entered the Korean war because of its fear of Communism and was heavily involved in the Vietnam war because of this same fear it has for communism. I don't know if you have come across what they call the Domino Theory. A theory America was using in its justification for intervention in communist countries during the cold war years. America even formed the South East Asian Treaty Organisation (SEATO) a multilateral NATO like security agreement in Asia just to counter the spread of Communism. And American public generally have been brainwashed by their government to think communism is evil since the war on communism is a policy in their country. Also Capitalism thrives on exploitation through imperialism and Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, the highest stage in capitalist development which Communism repudiates. So both economic models or modes of production are antagonistic to each other. |
AmazonTopaz:Democracy can be practiced under communism/socialism too. Democracy is not the twin brother of Capitalism as the west wants us to believe that was a cold war lie cause Adolf Hitler was a Capitalist but we know that Adolf Hitler gave no freedom to the Germans. In fact Nazism repudiates Communism/socialism which means Adolf Hitler hated Communism with great disdain. He killed many Communists and sent many into exile. Capitalism conotes freedom in the economic sphere but in the political realm it is not always about freedom. Fulgencio Batista of Cuba was a brutal Capitalist dictator that received U.S support. Suherto of Indonesia was a Capitalist dictator too. Anastasio Somoza Debayle of Nicaragua, Augusto Pinochet of Chile. Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam, Marcos Evangelista Perez Jimenez of Venezuala. Syngman Rhee of South Korea, Park Chun Ghee of South Korea. Let me stop here. Countries that have practiced western capitalist system with dictatorship/despotism are much more than countries that have practiced Communism. So Capitalism does not translate to democracy. |
AmazonTopaz:What's wrong with Communism and Socialism as modes of production? You think Communism/Socialism has connection with dictatorship? As if Capitalism is not evil. I know you don't have enough info that's why you reason this way. You haven't read that democratic Communist regimes have existed in the past but they were truncated by the instrumentality of the America's CIA because uncle SAM saw them as threat to it own Capitalist sphere of influence. Have you read about Salvadore Allende the democratically elected Communist president of Chile? That was toppled by the CIA and replaced with a ruthless Capitalist dictator known as Augusto Rusto Pinochet? CIA helped Pinochet to surpress dissent and he killed hundreds of thousands in that country. What of Jacobo Arbenz of Guatemala. He was a true democrat but was toppled by CIA and replaced with a ruthless Capitalist dictator. That CIA coup in Guatemala led to a chain of events that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in that country. Those were capitalist regimes that U.S. installed so please what is wrong with Communism? As if capitalism has not had its own share of dictatorship and evil. Fidel Castro started well in Cuba he was a free and nice gentleman but when U.S. started invading Cuba and using Cubans to plot assasinations against his life he had to change his ways and became dictatorial so as to instill fear into the people even at that the U.S. did not stop CIA tried his life over 600 times and failed. During the cold war years those communist countries were on their own jejely while U.S. was using CIA to forment trouble in them. Unseating the weak ones who choosed to be democratic. |

OBALOLA55:A scholar sighted. Karl Marx will forever be relevant. Honestly I wanted to say this until I saw your comment. His Das Kapital: A Critique of Political Economy expalin all these in details. |
Na everybody dey join Ukrainian army now na blows this man won use face T-90 tank ![]() |
kayusely70:No, he cannot single handedly defend his country against an invasion from Russia and neither will the west come to defend his country. It's good that the Ukrainian president is now thinking with his brain. |
Biodun556:Ukraine cannot win anything. Anyway Putin understands what he is doing. He wants to put more pressure on NATO this time in order to stop NATO's expansionism. I love the way Putin is treating them. Russia has to be firm this time and Putin is very good at it. |
