This news sweet me die. The EU has woken up. America thinks every country has to bow to her now that her allies are against her on this Iran issue their eyes go clear.

Yes America has isolated herself. A country that thrives on unilateralism. Russia and China are poised to veto any arms embargo that uncle sam is pushing for. Let's see how uncle same is going to impose her own unilateral and indefinite arms embargo on Iran.

BRUSSELS - The European Union's top diplomat said Tuesday that since the United States has already withdrawn from an international agreement curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions, it can't now use its former membership of the pact to try to impose a permanent arms embargo on the Islamic Republic.

The accord, which Iran signed with the U.S., Britain, Germany, France, China and Russia in 2015, has been unraveling since President Donald Trump pulled Washington out in 2018 and reinstated sanctions designed to cripple Tehran under what the U.S. called a "maximum pressure" campaign.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft have said that extending a permanent U.N. backed arms embargo against Iran is now a top priority for Washington.

But speaking to reporters Tuesday after talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell insisted that since the U.S. has pulled out of the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, it can no longer claim to have a role in it.

"The United States has withdrawn from the JCPOA, and now they cannot claim that they are still part of the JCPOA in order to deal with this issue from the JCPOA agreement. They withdraw. It's clear. They withdraw," Borrell said.

On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the Trump administration of unleashing a politically motivated campaign against Iran and he called for "universal condemnation" of the U.S. attempt to get the U.N. Security Council to impose a permanent arms embargo.

The EU sees the nuclear deal as a key pillar of regional and world security and has struggled to keep the pact alive despite U.S. pressure. Borrell is tasked with supervising the way the pact is applied and to help resolve disputes between the parties.

I should believe you are smart enough to decipher answer from the picture that speaks a thousand times more than words, unless you asking me to spoon-feed you.

You can't spoon feed me cause you have nothing in your brain

I will be surprised if you've still got teeth left in that your cussing mouth.

Na nairalanders won do the voting? The way you are flooding this section with this your Trump topic sef

FarahAideed:
For you to say you like Bernie Sanders shows you dont study history..I can never stand any thing socialist or Communist in my life ..Socialism is beautiful Uhuru. Nonsense that only breeds poverty and has never worked for even a day anywhere ..

I have no business with Bernie Sanders but let me ask you a question. What do you know about Socialism/Communism?

Airoflaw:
All lives matter

Yes all lives matter but the racist white cops don't know this. If they knew all lives matter they won't be killing blacks like chicken.

This is not cool. Mad man

FlordFlorez:
Rev. Al Sharpton is very funny. Said he'd never seen someone hold bible like that. How should he have held it.

Brigadier General Trump turned the bible upside down.

ValCon888:
I thought he was supposed to build a wall around Mexico not a wall around the White House.

Wall na wall make the racist buffon sha build one before Americans vote him out in the next election.

In all these things we are more than conquerors. Rest on George Floyd.

Russia and China have maintained a no first use policy for years this is a momentous shift in Russia's nuclear posture. I expect China to follow suit. U.S/NATO nuclear posture ain't helping matters and its intention of placing kinetic weapons into orbit under its Prompt Global Strike (PGS) programme. A new cold war is brewing.

compton11:
india India,im just feeling surprise,they even have India-africa summit

Lol. Don't be surprised our leaders don sell us na.

feedthenation:
It will be nice to state the facts and not label the protests as only taking place in Democrat states.

The protests are taking place in major cities which include both Democrats and Republican states:


Miami - Florida - Republican governor
Nashville - Tennesse - Republican governor
Atlanta - Georgia - Republican governor
Dallas, Houston - Texas - Republican governor
Cleveland - Ohio - Republican governor
Salt Lake City - Utah - Republican governor
Washington DC - Maryland - Republican governor

Minneapolis - Minnesota - Democrat governor
Louieville - Kenturky - Democrat governor
Los Angeles - California - Democrat governor
New York - Democrat governor
Portland - Oregon - Democrat governor

Don't mind those cretins. Their love for Trump has beclouded their sense of judgment.

compton11:
Imagine India is even having military base in Djibouti!

Bro African leaders are all sellouts. The scramble for Africa continues.

Righteousness89:
There may have been real protesters at the beginning but the Demonrats and their left wing media and sponsors have totally taken over...

It's their usual way! They don't care if the US is destroyed!

Yes the way democrats have orchestrared the protests going on in the UK, Norway, Germany and the rest We know some miscreants always seize such opportunity to carry out their own evil but does that invalidate the real issue on ground that an unarmed black man was slaughtered like a goat.

Events such as this took place under Obama do you remember how Eric Garner was killed this way in 2014 after shouting i can't breathe? Tamir Rice a 12 year old boy wielding a toy gun was shot dead by a police at his residence in 2014 the black community protested too, did Obama blame the republicans for inciting the crowd against him.

It's a pity your god Trump is playing politics with a sensitive issue like this by blaming democrats for inciting the crowd against him. That's not the attribute of a good leader. This is not the first of its kind in America and all you guys could do is blame it on Trump's opponent, you are all clowns.

logon599:
If George Floyd was white and the cop who killed him was black, I wonder the kind of reaction this would've been generating. Just me and my thoughts

Trash. This evil has been happening before your parents were born so don't go there. How many times have you seen a black cop murder an unarmed white man. A black cop won't do this.

America means power...

Pls go and slam ur head against the wall

Mumu. That's the only thing you have in your empty head. They can't withstand fact.

Daddysidhan:
The Chinese that could not uphold the agreement it has with British government on Hong Kong, western world is gradually uniting over the aggression and assertiveness. China is trying too hard to bend every existing rules to its advantage just like the Nazi Germany, the world will surely and definitely respond to the New Chinese behavioural madness.

Tell us why China should uphold the agreement it made with British government over HK? Why did Britain colonize and exploit Hong Kong in the first place? Agreement that serves the purpose of the imperialist who forced China to cede Hong Kong to her in 1842.

America and Britian don't even have the moral ground to dictate to China how it should administer HK. Countries who have unseated democratic regimes around the world and installed dictatorship for their own greed and selfish interest now want to uphold democracy in HK. China would be so foolish to allow the west to take away HK from her.

China is a sovereign country and has the sovereign right to impose whatever she deems right and necessary to maintain its control over its Hong Kong province. U.S and Britain are just barking.

And America has bend almost existing rules to its own advantage more than Nazi Germany and i think America is the country with behavioural madness with their bullying tactics. They are the ones who would dictate how a country should run its affair, threaten every country who does not purchase arms from them with sanctions, they threatened India from getting the S400, threatened Egypt from buying Russian fighter jets and others. As if everyone must buy everything from them.

Recently they threatened european countries that are interested in joining the Nord Stream 2 cooperation with sanctions. I think the international business environment should be driven by supply and demand must you dictate how a sovereign country should run its own affair? Must you force and threaten every country with sanctions because you want them to do business with you? America is losing its credibility and stand with that behavioural madness you mentioned.

Lmaoooooooo
The drama going on here is

Whyem15:
First of, provide evidence to the bolded. Even if it is true, which it isn't, there is nothing wrong with being against an ideology. Zionism is just like Nazism and wahabism. They are all ideologies and people hate them. It is legal.
Bernie Sanders and Ted Turner don't t hate Israel, They hate the policies of the Israeli government. None of them have ever claimed they hate Israel nor has there words pointed towards hatred of the Israeli people. There is a wide difference between the two.
Your use of semantics is very poor. Next time be totally clear with your words.
Chinese-- a native of china
Chinese government -- those at the helm of affairs in China
Palestinians-- natives of palestine
Palestinian government -- those at the helm of affairs in Palestine.
Those words are not synonymous and can't be used interchangeably. It is people like you who will call Muslims terrorists, blacks criminals, and Africans backwards and corrupt people.
The post and the comment you quoted wasn't talking about the Palestinian government, it was talking about Palestinian people and most especially Palestinian children, you quoted it and claimed the "Palestinians are terrorists" that's racism.
As for the interview you referred me to, are you referring to these

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO9BP6KGHeA
You better not be referring to this. Because in the entire interview, not a single word was said that would have painted Israel bad, in fact it is the contrary, Jared kushner kept on calling the Palestinians irrational people.
Better not make a joke of yourself and find another video from CNN that is a propaganda designed to make people hate Israel.

You still dey lecture that guy. There is nothing you can do to redeem his type they have been brainwashed beyond redemption. He is even defending zionism. I don't know why christians can't see the evil Israel is perpetrating they just believe Israel can never get it wrong. I have read various jewish scholars who have come out to speak the truth about the Israeli-Palestinian issue and they are against the occupation and ethnic cleasing Israel is carrying out there. These scholars are brave they were even threatened by Israeli Mossad and Shin-Bet. Yet one christian in this part of the world would still see Israel as the saint.

fibonacci2526:
Just comot your mind.

Chai. Thanks Madam

Anyone here still receiving package shipped with China post?

FlordFlorez:
They invaded virtually every country on earth with the way they handled corona issue. They have threatened Taiwan, USA, Hongkong, India, Japan and other Asian countries. Infact, they are even threatening us here in Africa with phishing loans. Besides, that directive was issued cos of India. They had face-off recently.

US

I think China is more threatened than the U.S do you know how many U.S military bases surrounding China in that region? Bases with missiles pointed at China. Have you read about "U.S pivot to Asia"? America sees China as a rising military and economic power and that is making America uncomfortable and restless. America does not want any country to replace her so they feel China should be contained and China has said it does not have a vision for world domination. The main reason China is building artificial islands in the south China sea is to counter any U.S naval armada approaching China because China has a history of maritime invasions and i believe they are wise to have done that.

Japan

China is not a threat to Japan. Japan is just being paranoid. During WW2 imperial Japanese military invaded China and committed so many atrocities against the Chinese people. Read "Nanjing/nanking massacre" The Chinese were slaughtered in their thousands if not millions.,their women were raped and used as comfort women for the imperial Japanes forces. please read about the horrors the Chinese people experienced at the hands of these monstrous Japanese but that was when China was weak it won't happen anymore. The main reason Japan is so paranoid today is because they still feel China would one day avenge the horrors they did to them during WW2. That's why the country is trying to change it's pacifist constitution so it can build a military that's on par with that of China.

HongKong

O yes China owns HK. It just that they operate a different system of government but over the years China has seen western interference in the affair of the country. The aim of America, Britain is to reduce China's sphere of influence in the region even if it means a Hong Kong with total independence from China and China will do everything possible to avoid that.

India

China and India have had fraught relations in the past over their Himalayan border read "Sino Indian War" they still throw insult over it to this day. America sees India as another military power that can help her to contain the rise of China, India knows this too and she is treading with caution because she does not want to be caught in between two superpowers.

Taiwan
China wants to take Taiwan because she sees it a break away region. Read about the relationship that existed between them before and after the 1949 communist revolution in China how Chinese deposed leader Chiang Kai Chek fled China and went to Taiwan to setup a government there.

Other South east asian countries don't like China's dominance in the region and they are not ready to join U.S in its confrontation with China.

China does not have a vision for world domination it has 1.4 billion population to cater for. While America keeps building expensive military bases around the world the Chinese keep cementing their economic relations with different countries of the world. You talked about African countries being in a debt trap. Did the Chinese force the debt on you people? No be una approach them for loans.

matrix199:
These people are hell bent on reducing the world's population.

Lmao

FlordFlorez:
China wants to fight everybody. India is not a weak country. They are fourth strongest country militarily. Behind China though, but its going to be bloody for both.

China isn't spoiling for a fight. How many countries has China invaded? How many countries have they threatened? War does not favour any country, it does not respect superpowers, Mr Xi knows what he is saying he his trying to pass a message that China is ready to engage any country that interferes in the internal affair of Hong Kong.

SARSCoV2:
Came so early!


He was busy decimating false conspiracy theories when it matters the most. Now trying to score cheap political point after 24 hours.

Balderdash!

Don't mind him. Did he react this way when blacks were being killed in the past 3 years. Now it's time for justice to be served, selfish man.

I'm not happy with the way Chinese government handled the coronavirus outbreak but it is normal for a leader to tell his military to prepare for war. Look at the way America has surrounded them with military bases and China does not like the way the west interferes in Hong Kong affair. America is always prepared for war even uncle sam is always going around spoiling for war so what the man has said isn't a big issue. Militaries around the world are trained to prepare for war.

fugarlion:
Nigerian hypocrites; you people have no moral ground to speak on this issue. After mudering 3 million fellow black Igbo/Biafrans and you come here pretending about a black man in America. Have cried for the thousands Fulani are killing on a weekly basis? You shameless hypocrites. Evil things! Shattap before God stab you with his sword!

Go and take your drugs. Make sure you use warm water while taking it.
