This is the main disadvantage of women sports. Pregnancy means automatic one year off. Imagine a team where 3 to 4 key teammates get pregnant in a season? I know this really sounds misogynistic but these are really logical hurdles to sport equality issues. Biology is very important to sports. It's a key factor that hinders equality.

The Soviet Union did not coerce Cuba to house the nuclear weapons yet the US considered invading Cuba because of this before settling for blockading it.

These things have never been about morality but about strength. That is why the US could easily invade Iraq as punishment for invading Kuwait but would not invade Russia for a similar action.

Lastly whether their economies improved after joining NATO is not the issue. Their are other ways of improving your economy without joining NATO. What Putin does not want is to have NATO missiles surrounding the core parts of Russia.

We can't be comparing actions taken during the cold WAR to the present day.
The good thing about America is that at their core, they try to learn from their mistakes. Today we know some of the mistakes and atrocities of American foreign policy primarily because they are able to look inwards and self criticize. Do we know half of what the Soviets did in their hayday?

The west do not have a system that gives rice to autonomous dictators, hence the actions of their leaders can always be curtailed. A lot of people criticize Obama for his actions in Syria but the bulk of this criticism arises from the republicans who are within America itself. Just like a lot of people who criticize bush for his actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, majority of those criticism also self generated from the democrats within America.


Who inside Russia is able to curtail and check tyrants like Putin?

Havertz10:
so many questions, I would answer all of them together and try to connect all
What are human rights? You people like to boast about it but do you actually have rights? Think about it, can you enforce your rights?
Secondly what's a sovereign state? If sovereign states matter, America wouldn't be interfering in the affairs of countries that aren't democratic, after all their sovereign integrity should be respected

Point I'm trying to make here is while its easy for you to assume that the differences between good and bad is black and white and therefore status quo is unbreakable, you have to understand that before the present status quo existed there was a prior status quo
Now let's talk about Ukraine, I had a globalist view of events, saw the territorial implications of Ukraine joining american imperialist orbit as harmful to Russia but when I dug deeper I found out that there is more to the story

And please before you reply me, do your research and confirm my claims
The story is long but let's start at 2014, CIA backed neo Nazi groups in Ukraine that literally control all levers of government staged a coup, some call it a revolution but it was a coup, against their president, I will continually say it, people are dumb, group think can be established with proper propaganda, the general consensus after the operation was that Ukrainians want to join Europe
Economics is the life blood of civilization, so yes i must bring economics into it Ukraine is a very corrupt country, its a modern crony state like Nigeria, so its people assumed that by joining EU things will change, that's the propaganda that they were fed, now another thing you have to understand is that eastern Ukraine is home to many ethnic Russians, that have been killed since 2014 over their differences with the neo Nazi in the west, 12,000~ ethnic Russians have been killed in eastern Ukraine, that CIA propped idiot that western media promotes is just acting a script, you didn't ask yourself how a comedian was able to win an election, its owner of the film house that hosted his show that installed him, like I said Ukraine is very corrupt, add that to Russia seeking to protect it's sovereignty and we have the crisis you see today
NATO and co bombed Yugoslavia because of Kosovo, nobody raised an eyelid because western media controls the narrative and sheep listen and swallow whatever they are fed, human rights uno

Putin is a man that is fighting for his people, crimea is a very significant part of Russian history, Putin doesn't have imperialist tendencies like America and he has no intention to rule the world like the west
All he wants is to be treated fairly and for his people to be afforded the respect they deserve
Yes I support him, yes I support his actions, Nigeria can only dream of a leader like putin, America has essentially turned almost all nations of the world to puppet States
You are still sleeping
I ask again, what are you rights? Who gave you those rights? Government afforded you those privileges, and they can take it away when ever they like, ask Japanese Americans about their so called rights during world war 2

Google what john Bolton said when ICC wanted to investigate America for war crimes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWB6IUE0hJU
Your illusion of rights and freedom are a gifted privilege you enjoy either because you are white, have resources or don't matter enough to interfered with

Jesus Christ!! This has to be the most extreme case of word-salad I've ever seen.
WORD SALAD: refers to the practice of stringing together words that have no apparent connection to one another—an extreme case of jumbled speech or disorderly writing. Also called paraphrasia

You have buried your head into soo much anti-western propaganda that you can only come up with a lot of mumbojumbo to eventually come to the point that you support a dictator like Putin.
Just like American Germans in 1945 who revered Hitler as the best German leader of all time, or Italians who saw mussilioni as the best Italian leader. Or even Nigerians who saw Abacha as the kind of "strong" leader needed to stand up for Nigeria and against "foreign powers".

What foolish people like you choose to do is conveniently brush aside how these tyrants got their power and maintained it for such a long time.
You really believe that Putin is the best leader for Russians? a dictator who kills political opponents, both home and abroad, who censors the free press in his country, who cuts down harshly and swiftly on civilian protests.
And this your same dirty mouth would dare criticize the west, the west where power is always changing hands, where there is no political persecution of political opponents. Where every tom dick and Harry can come face to face to their leaders and criticize them, where free speech and human rights are almost guaranteed.

The west is not perfect. Nobody is, but again, what you have in the west is far better than what can be obtained anywhere else in the world.

Imagine a supporter of a tyrant like Putin opening mouth to criticize western democracy.

afrodoc2:
The real reason for the invasion is the eastward expansion of NATO, a military alliance which at its core is an anti-Russian alliance.
The West keeps tempting fate and antagonising Russia by adding more and more countries to NATO and now they are at Russia’s borders in the West. If Ukraine joins NATO then they would be at border of Russia in the South of Russia as well.

Putin feels he has a duty to his state prevent its strategic encirclement by enemies the same way JFK felt he had a duty when he blockaded Cuba a sovereign country to prevent the Soviet Union from placing nuclear missiles there.

But the thing is, I have not heard of any of those countries being coerced to join. As a matter of fact, their economy immediately improves upon joining. NATO might have been formed as a defensive alliance against the Soviet union, but the group has been more or less defunct, they haven't really been active. NATO's function since it's inception has basically been as a deterrent factor rather than an active aggressor.

It's just like china's military. China has had a very strong military for at least 40 years but has never been in war in that timeframe. Their military serving the purpose of being a deterrent, rather than an active aggressor. It's not far fetched to think Putin desires a rebuild of the Soviet states and that is just dangerous to global affairs. The world has had relative peace and global economic growth for the last half century. We don't need world powers being on the verge of war.

Havertz10 I'm still waiting for you oo. You keep dodging the question.
Meanwhile have you seen this? Do you still think Putin is normal?

Kloppo:
See conditions na...

Putin knows it's impossible for Ukraine to accept these terms. He just wants to recolonize Ukraine.

This is the team that we drew 1-1 too after missing dozens of chances.

swiz123:
He has been decent today. It shouldn't be surprising seeing that he is playing against a team managed by someone unfit to coach a school team.

Honestly I feel bad for lampard. One of our own.
Before Everton hired lampard, I was hoping they would get relegated just to enjoy the spectacle of a big team going down, now they've hired him. I'm really rooting for them now.
This bad form right now can be dangerous for us BTW, we play them towards the end of the season at their home and by then, they may become very desperate for points. I'm really hoping they pick vital points the next few weeks.

Havertz10:
you are being misled by MSM, I could write a long piece that breaks down how flawed your analogy is but let me share this, do you know the companies buying Russian bonds that are supposedly useless?

JP Morgan and Goldman sachs

Continue eating the bullshit that MSM feeds you guys, real players understand the board

How did we suddenly get into an economic argument?? You posted that Russia is being "lenient". How can someone who is illegally invading another person's home be lenient?I asked you, is Russia supposed to be there in the first place and now you are pivoting to something totally unrelated.

Since you keep posting pro-putin stances, I'm challenging you to come out and make your stance clear, stop hiding in the shadow of anti-american stances, are you a Putin's supporter? Do you like his style of leadership? Do you think Putin is who is best for Russia and it's people? Do you wish Nigeria had a leader like Putin?

Please do well not to skip these questions. I've told you, it's not about criticism, criticism, it's about selecting a practical solution. Between, western democracies and Chinese communism or Russian authoritarianism, which is your best preference?

Havertz10:
Western media makes a mockery of Russian invasion but it turns out that Russians are being lenient intentionally
https://youxFtDCJNsM

Your attempt to humanize Russia is contemptible.
What you are doing is akin to telling a thief who came into your house to steal "hey, even if you are stealing my tv, at least you're not stealing my generator". The question is, is the thief supposed to be there in the first place?

So I ask you, is Putin supposed to be invading Ukraine? Does he have any right to do that?

A real motivational leader.

Roland17:
What's up with Salah's contract situation? He looks frustrated and with the arrival and subsequent attention Diaz is getting, I am not sure he is happy at Liverpool. I may be wrong, I hope I am wrong because I want him to remain in the EPL.

If Salah knows what is good for him, he better stay at Liverpool and become a legend. Let him look at what happened to hazard and Coutinho who left where they were on a legendary path to just go and mess up at another place. Now both of them are tired of living their dream and looking for escape hatches. Salah is the current king at Liverpool, there is no guarantee a player entering his twilight will replicate these performances.

Ibime:
You were not hailing Havertz performance but hating Mount performance. If you were consistent with that, then we would have see you doing the reverse most times this season.

Havertz having a good performance is validation for those of us who said move him upfront not for Havertz midfield brigade. And at that, 4 goals is not enough to be shouting every week for 2 years. This is a cult

Havertzimati headed by Jude.

I hope we get it right with our new ownership.

I don't think it's actually that deep. Donj follows every single account I've ever used on this forum. You can play a game - click on his profile and count how many Nihilist accounts dey his followed list.

In many ways, Donjazet reminds me of myself in the early days on this forum - loud, argumentative and aggressive. I won't lie, I see a lot of myself in him.

He's guilty of many of the crimes he's accused me of, and like Putin there's probably no depths we won't sink to when settling scores. Maybe that's why we fight so much - Maybe he hates being a cunt, whilst I own it. Maybe he hates that we have some shared personality traits which he publicly tries to disavow whilst I keep pointing them out

We might be brothers, Donjazet and I...
Brothers in cüntishness

My friend, shut the hell up, just shut it already. You and who brothers? You are literally the worst human being on this thread. Someone who will describe the state and shape of his wife's vagina is the Hallmark of attention seeking. Someone who would vividly describe how he wishes someone to die while the sister is raped, goes to show the banality and how sooo pyschologically damaged you are.

You really are pyschologically damaged. Bereft of empathy, love and care. You are literally the least qualified to be a father and I can only pity your child. I honestly don't mean offense or banter here. I am genuinely concerned for a child who grows under your roof. Your public profile suggests someone a danger to themselves and people around them.

Imagine your son seeing your nairaland profile and reading how his dad is bragging about cheating on his mum and desecrating her innermost self and sanctity by telling the world how her vagina looks.

I understand the need to look for a partner in crime. You can't believe anybody is as damaged as you are. You seek someone to share your depravities with. I'm sorry, that's not me. Keep looking.

Fyi, I only followed you as a courtesy. You first followed me so I don't know why you keep repeating this narrative.

nihilistjnr:
You posted about the abortion dilemma in October 2020, that's only just 14 months ago.
It seems odd to me that you would forget something as momentous as pregnancy claim within only 14 months.

It seems odder still that your reaction would be to describe what amoto said as an Evil Lie.
I mean...it DID happen. Even if you don't remember posting it here, there's no other way Amoto could have known about events in your personal life

So to describe it as an EVIL LIE...
This is why we were asking if as a matter of principle, you would tender an apology for calling Amoto94 a liar

Nihilist surely you wouldn't be stupid enough for us to still engage in a back and forth. You shamelessly brought up my dead relatives yesterday and today you still have the gall to reply me, are you normal at all? Is your head in the right place?
Is there really any room for both us to ever have a civil discussion??
You have spoken as to how you were molested as a child? As to how you are had an absent father while growing up, as to how you proudly cheat on your wife, or you shamelessly describing your wife's vagina to the public. I could have decided to just go further into war with you but decided against doing that out of respect for my sister. Surely you can at least respect yourself and avoid me.
This is you below wishing death on someone. I just realized you're not a human being and no Matter what, you would have your legion's support, no matter how much of a nasty scumbag who insults the dead and wishes death on people and wishes rape on others you are, people will like and cheer you on. No one will ever dare to call you out.
Please free me.

Interesting. Let's see what Ademola Lookman and Denis bring to the team.

When will this be held?

Amoto94:
"Integrity is when what you think and what you say and what you do are one."
Copied

Still taking shots at me I see. Upon retrospection, have you really realized that my post yesterday which you dug up wasn't really a contradiction of my personal values?
Let's go back shall we? Yesterday you pointed out that it was hypocrisy on my part to approve of abortion but when faced with the situation I budged or got confused. But yes, at the end of the day, facing a situation like that, it's normal to not be clear headed, what matters is the decision and action taken thereafter.
Me and the girl have long since parted ways, which is why I couldn't remember it initially seeing as I have long been with others since. I didn't think i posted that particular incident here, But I digress, at the end of the day, when it comes to abortion, I am pro choice, which means I will respect the decision of the woman. And that's exactly how it played out.
Me being confused or dazed initially has no bearing on my integrity or My values, My decision or the actions taken do.

Whenever anybody takes a strong stand on a moral issue, it's not surprising that people attack with pitchforks trying to hit the person with the hypocrisy tag or "holier than thou" tag. I remember when I staunchly opposed yahoo boiz, it's criminal partakers like seankafor and donstan became mortal enemies, calling it grandstanding. When I do indeed hate them because I personally know victims.

When I went hard on elampiro on the Manu thread concerning his abhorrent stances on mason greenwood, I was still called holier than thou basically because I was strongly condemning a rapist. Now, I am concerned seeing the destruction being wrecked on an entire country by a mad tyrant, it's logical that one will hate all the actors that have made this needless mass violence possible.

For the umpteenth time, I am reiterating that my reason for going very hard at roman is because I can't believe I got to unquestionably love and cherish and idolize a criminal. It's natural that one hates men who grow too powerful to bend laws and society's to their will. Men who basically get away with anything. Surely we all strive for a more equitable society.

Surely we all hope for an ideal world. I don't understand the grouse you will have with that. I have said that if I "do" something wrong, I hope to be shamed into submission. If I had backtracked and then been against abortion, then you have the legs to stand on and call me a hypocrite. Acknowledging the difficulty of a situation surely isn't.

Havertz10:
Messi's fans recognizing havertz game knows game


Where are those havertz is a flop critics these days, feeling like megamind right now in this space

I still insist, allow this guy to do his talking on the pitch.
You do realize that you constantly propping up this guy speaks to your insecurity towards his abilities.

If you were confident in him, you will wait till the end of season and see if he's reached the benchmark you had set for him.

Hmmm. Okay oo.

nihilistjnr:
I gave you the chance to remove my wife from the conversation. My wife has nothing to do with Putin or Roman Abramovich
I'm still offering you a lifeline here. You can diss me without mentioning my wife
Remove any reference to her, and we can still walk away from this without it going left.
It's your call.

So in other words, you set the tone and boundaries for "dissing"?
What happened to please avoid my moniker totally, let's not engage in nastiness?
Who said these today?

Are you always first to the pulpit at testimony time?
Do you find yourself talking too much?
Do you often box yourself into corners with your long and unnecessary arguments?

Be economical with your words and buy Wasalaye Bitters, and let somebody else do the talking for once

Oga, miss me abeg. I have largely ignored you for months if not years now since you brought up my late sister. Make my moniker disappear for your eye.

nihilistjnr:
Let me use this brief interlude to advertise my market abeg

Are you always first to the pulpit at testimony time?

Wasalaye Bitters.....brings out the enirojo in her

Please who typed this today? Was this a spirit?

nihilistjnr:
Well, just remember when I start with your family, that you stated it.

Christ!! Will you honestly sit down and type this with a straight face, I just literally called you out the instant you got provocative today and you still went on!
How would you say I started this?

Nigga, please miss me. Is that fuckin hard for you to do??
I have warned you off my moniker for ages!! The last time we were on opposite sides, the same thing.
Please avoid my moniker. I take God beg you. Please avoid me.

nihilistjnr:
The guy has already said that his principled posturing on Nairaland doesn't apply in real life.

That's why on this same board he has been both anti-gay and pro-gay, pro-God and atheist, pro-abortion and anti-abortion, and wanted to follow Mourinho to United as a "Chelsea fan"
Dude lacks any real conviction or commitment to a cause, other than to be contrarian for its own sake. Anybody even engaging the guy on Roman matter or any other topical issues for that matter is wasting their time.

If course, the petty pig squeals on. You're one to talk about conviction and commitment. is it not you in your diary below that boasts about cheating on the mother of your children? Boasting about sexcapades on the ashawo thread despite being married. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. Commitment indeed. You are one to talk.
There is no moniker you didn't go through on nairaland that didn't end up in a ban or quarrel with someone. From jackbauerspower, jackbauersball, Bauer power, nihilist, you name them all. Your daily joy is just looking for who to wound up to engage in a word fest with.
Please have some shame and miss me. I really don't want to make out time for your stupidity today. Commitment my foot.

Singapore1:
you brought all these slanders upon yourself by over flogging the matter. You have made your stance known earlier and most people agreed with you but you didn't stop

Why would I stop saying the truth??

User09:
I've deliberately stayed away from this topic despite being well versed in it. Make no mistake all of these things you speak of contain no concrete evidence. This is coming from someone who has read the court documents including his private testimonies (Paid for)

The one thing u could accuse him are the rigged privatisation contracts. Besides you have to be really naive to not know how most Russian Oligarchs embed themselves in wealth. Morality is such a complex subject and the more you drill down, the more you realise you come off as a hypocrite in certain areas.
Whilst u've got your convictions, it'd be really nice if you could back it up with some solid evidence and not 3rd party quotes and conjectures.

In what world does hardcore evidence exist against the most powerful, if not the 3rd party quotes and conjectures from people that existed in the same frame? If there was hardcore evidence, won't he be in jail? Does that mean he's not guilty because he is powerful enough to insulate himself from the courts??
Are Babaginda, Tinubu, Abacha, Danjuma not criminals?? Don't we know that they are criminals by virtue of conjecture from credible 3rd party quotes and surmisable evidence??

These are people powerful enough to bend their society and laws to their will. The worst we would do is hold sway for them.
Ibime and dayo made very good points when they spoke about how pragmatically, they are trying to survive but what we can't do is idolize and celebrate these entities. It's bad.

kong200:
Putin is a tyrant for the current crisis in Ukraine but your likes never called Obama a tyrant for destroying Libya. Your likes never called Bush a tyrant for destroying Iraq. Your likes never called other Netanyahu for destroying Palestine. CNN is really working for your likes

Cue the whataboutism again!!
Who told you, I never called Obama a tyrant for war actions?
Who told you I never criticized Israel for actions on Palestine? How dare you make these assumptions about me?
Of what relevance is this whataboutism to the fact that Abrahmovic is a corrupt criminal who should be evicted from public space?

All of you are spooked because the Truth hits very hard.

Kloppo:
When you hit them with clear FACTS,they come back and engage you with WHATABOUTISM...

Even the usmanov yatch has been seized by the Germans this morning,why are they making it seem like an ONLY Roman and Chelsea witch-hunt....

As I aptly surmised earlier, I categorize people attacking me into 3 sections. 1; people (some friends and allies) who are still strongly emotionally attached to Roman Abrahmovic and who are still negligent of his criminal history. People like griffon, unlimited 22, dayo, ninjaxmeta, amodu, ova200 etc etc.
2. People who are staunchly anti western propagandist. Amoto94 and havertz10 and then 3 the petty pig. The one who who always looks for every opportunity for fight because he like the dirt. He wants who will follow him and start cursing family. That one need deliverance. Small thing violence violence.

I'm pretty sure, I'm unfazed by the attacks because I know that deep down they understand and agree with what I'm saying but the emotional strangelhold roman has on many here is still too strong. It would take a bit of time to wean ourselves off him.

Griffon:
Both of you are sick.
What makes you think Roman should get the sticks while other billionaires get exonerated? Who's clean? That is our standpoint here.
If you must throw up a campaign against Roman, then be ready to ration it out to other billionaires out there who definitely aren't clean. After falling for BBC and CNN's sensationalism, you both will jump in here with your cheap attack at Roman, you two are gullible and shallow minded.
That mofo godx is an Arsenal fan. Through my years of being on NL, i havent seen him come out to attack Mr Alisher Usmanov who at some point held 30% of stake in his goddamned club. Usmanov if you must know, was a gangster and racketeer who rightly did six years in jail and his pardon was the work of Uzbekistan President Islam Karimov on the instructions of Uzbekistani power broker and alleged drug trafficker Gafur Rakhimov.

It was on 12 November 2012, that The Times reported that Usmanov had hired a London-based PR firm, RLM Finsbury, that edited Usmanov's article on Wikipedia, information regarding Usmanov's criminal convictions.
Usmanov was the same man who was once accused of rape, murder and bribery in his country home Russia.
But he held 30% of Arsenal stake and you buffoons never wrote about it. Na Roman una wan take catch cruise because una Gotv subscription still never expire and CNN is feeding you with craps. Mofos!

Not you too griffon. Why the personal attacks? I thought we were cool bro. Well whatever rocks your boat.
I have said numerously I hate whataboutism. So because I condemned Roman, I must come out and condemn every single billionaire one by one? Where's the logic in that? Where is the line that goes from condemning a corrupt criminal like roman to supporting another corrupt criminal?
Do I look like a supporter of usmanov??
I focus on what is right in front of me and right now, roman's role and activities is now highlighted all over the world, and I'm happy I got the chance to check up on someone I cherished and realized I was a small part of a problem. A victim of a society that celebrates and idolizes criminals so far as we are beneficiaries of their "goodwill".

I don't appreciate your harsh words griffon. You are usually rational and level headed, I don't understand what has got you irascible and spooky.

Godx:
Reading this thread makes me believe some of these guys here will literally support Osama buying Chelsea as long as he can spend money on players and will lick his ass in the process.

There you have it. get ready for a bombardment of personal attacks because your truth strikes a nerve.

Griffon:
Hypocrisy has never been well defined bro.

The manchi matter tire me. I've told him, if he's got an issue supporting a franchise that has recorded success with blood money, let him kuku join Southampton, they're the Saints.

I am not against Chelsea, I am against the criminal.
Surely you can distinguish both. That I don't like the fact that use of crude oil messes up the planet doesn't mean I will stop driving my car or using energy derived from crude sources but that doesn't mean that I won't clamour for a better source of energy and wish that we stop using those sources without creating a void.

Chelsea was here 100 years before Roman, it would be here 100 years after him.
