If that's not a penalty, then do you know how many penalties Argentina have been awarded for similar incidents in other matches? You can't suddenly change the rules just because it's Argentina.

Argentina is football's biggest fraud. Between the questionable penalties, controversial refereeing decisions and endless excuses, you'd think winning matches fairly was optional.

Half-Nigerian here, and I have evidence. I once dated one who had champagne taste with absolutely no intention of paying the bill. She nearly finished me financially before I came to my senses. Thankfully, I escaped that expensive relationship and eventually got happily married. Now I know the difference between having a girlfriend and having a dependent with romantic feelings.

Mattswaggz:
What has this got to do with Iran?.....Iran that can't defend themselves fully is whom you're claiming made US forces in Iraq to withdraw?.

It has to do with Iran because Iran doesn't need to defeat the entire US military. If US bases in Iraq and other places in the region are being damaged and attacked, America can't protect all its forces and bases at once. At some point, the US has to withdraw some forces because keeping them there becomes harder and more risky.

Business › Re: Kenya President Visits Dangote Refinary In Ibeju, Lagos by educatedfool: 11:50pm On Sep 25

HacheNoire:
His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) and Lagos state reposition Nigeria on the world map!

With the rate of progress and development, Lagos might need purchase Ogun state. The state is already an open air concentration camp and the people will welcome such.

Let's be factual. The Dangote Refinery is a private investment by Aliko Dangote and the Dangote Group. It was conceived, financed and constructed as a Dangote project long before Tinubu became president. Dangote's own corporate history identifies the refinery as a 2023 project, while its operations began in January 2024.

So attaching the refinery's existence or development to Tinubu personally is misleading. You can credit any government for policies or support that affected its operations, but the refinery itself is Dangote's investment, not Tinubu's achievement.

AMINDA:
Elrufai is Tinubu's political prisoner because Tinubu lives in morbid fear of him. He knows Elrufai made him president and has seen his capacity firsthand. Tinubu panicked when he saw how Elrufai managed to bring Obi, Atiku, and Kwankwaso under one umbrella in a matter of months and cowardly moved to detain him. Heads or tail, Elrufai will engineer his defeat at the polls come 2027.

The last time I check .apart from the North Africans and Egypt, almost the rest of the Islamic world have almost the same view when it comes to the women folk. For you,you may be among the liberal Moslems ,but don't try to defend what's so glaring

Honestly, as a Muslim, I feel like I should have come across far more people with the kind of views you're describing. I've spent most of my life around fellow Muslims and I've also travelled, yet I can't honestly say I've personally come across even one who holds those extreme views you keep describing. I mostly hear about people like that on TV, radio, or social media. Sometimes it genuinely makes me wonder how widespread they actually are.

I'm not going to lie and claim they don't exist. Of course, people with extreme cultural views exist among Muslims, just as they exist in every other religions. But from my own experience, they seem to be very few. That's precisely why I find it strange when a tiny minority is constantly presented as though they represent Islam or ordinary Muslims.

Sometimes it even makes me wonder who benefits from pushing that narrative so heavily. Why take the most extreme examples among billions of Muslims and repeatedly present them as if they are the standard huh

Since when did Afghanistan become the official spokesperson for 1.8 billion Muslims? If your entire argument is "Afghanistan does it, therefore Islam says it," then you clearly don't understand the difference between a country's policies, culture, and the religion itself. Come with an actual argument next time.

How many have you listened to? Or did you just count the ones that fit your narrative? Asking "how many?" without doing the slightest research isn't an argument, it's intellectual laziness wearing a question mark. Go educate yourself before trying to lecture others about Islam.

"Western education is haram" and "women belong in the kitchen" in the same sentence? You really managed to cram two misconceptions into one comment. Maybe read a little history before lecturing Muslims about education. The University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fez was founded in 859 CE by Fatima al-Fihri, a Muslim woman. So yes, a Muslim woman was behind one of the world's oldest universities.

Foreign Affairs › Re: The Japanese People Have Collectively Sunk Into Decline by educatedfool: 6:34am On Sep 07

Maureenr:
Japan has invested over 1.3 trillion yen overseas, with 70% financed in yen. The monetary authorities keep interest rates suppressed, sacrificing the interests of all Japanese citizens to subsidize overseas ventures. 37% of temporary dispatch workers, sacrificing the job opportunities and salaries of young people and women to subsidize the elderly. Industries are shifting overseas, hollowing out Japan. The business environment for young people starting ventures is like a quagmire. The yen keeps depreciating, weakening the purchasing power of the nation.

I think this frames Japan's problems too narrowly. A weaker yen, low interest rates, and overseas investment are not automatically a subsidy from ordinary Japanese citizens to the elderly or foreign economies. Japan is dealing with much deeper structural issues: an aging and shrinking population, low productivity growth, weak domestic demand, and a labor market that has struggled to adapt.

Keeping rates low may have costs, but it also reflects the enormous debt burden and the need to avoid destabilizing an economy that has battled deflation for decades. And Japanese companies investing abroad is not necessarily "hollowing out" Japan. In many cases, overseas investment generates profits, strengthens Japanese companies, and brings income back home.

The real question is whether Japan can raise productivity, improve wages, encourage entrepreneurship, and make domestic investment attractive again. Blaming monetary policy alone risks confusing the symptoms with the underlying problem.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran’s Leaders Acknowledge Economic Toll Of War, Pledge Diplomacy, Defence by educatedfool: 5:06pm On Aug 30

SlavaUkraini:
Another Balderdash...

Since Iran is in control of the Strait, how many barrel of crude have they exported through the Strait ?

They claim to have closed the strait, but did they also close the strait to affect their own crude export ?

Since they are experts in closing waterways, they should open it so that their own crude oil can be exported..

Or are they tired of selling crude oil ?

The Iranians closed the strait and Trump has ensured that it is essentially closed to Iranian exports while everyone else is using the southern corridor through Oman.

Their much touted leverage is now a liability.

Another Balderdash...

You keep screaming "Iran is cornered!" while writing an entire essay about how much effort the US and its allies have had to put into bypassing, controlling and securing the Strait. grin

Think about how ridiculous that sounds. You claim the Strait is now "a liability" and has lost its leverage, yet the US Navy has apparently become the bouncer deciding which Iranian oil is allowed to leave the party. grin

And then comes the masterpiece: "Iran should open the Strait so it can export its own oil." grin

Brilliant! So Iran supposedly has no leverage, but somehow the solution to the problem is for Iran to open the very chokepoint that everyone is desperately trying to bypass. If it is truly irrelevant, why are you so obsessed with who controls it? grin

Your argument basically boils down to:

"Iran has no leverage over the Strait, therefore we must use the US Navy, alternative corridors, Gulf pipelines and every available workaround to make sure the Strait doesn't become a problem."

grin

That's not exactly the victory speech you think it is.

And please, stop confusing "Iran can also suffer from disruption" with "Iran has no strategic leverage." A chokepoint can hurt the country sitting beside it AND everyone depending on it. That's precisely what makes it a strategic chokepoint.

So by all means, keep celebrating the "irrelevant" Strait of Hormuz.

Just remember: if something is truly irrelevant, you don't need the world's most powerful navy, alternative shipping corridors and years of contingency planning to get around it. grin

At this point, your argument isn't proving that Hormuz is irrelevant.

You're proving exactly how important it is.

SlavaUkraini:
Balderdash...

The Strait that you claimed is closed is only close to your Iranian Terrorist regime..

The southern corridor through Oman has been opened by the US and ships have been passing through recently...

Google is your friend... Go and verify.

But nothing will ever leave an Iranian port and pass through the Trump Blockade unless the US Navy allows it ....

So now, who is blocking who. ?

Iran have been cornered.

The Iranian threat to block the Strait of Hormuz for decades have backfired big time against them.

The Strait is no longer a leverage they can use against the West.

Saudi Arabia and some other Gulf nations have been planning for years to bypass the Strait of Hormuz Incase it is closed by the Iranians...

But the Stupid Iranians had no Plan B in the event that the Strait is blocked...

Now they are stuck. They closed a Strait that they so desperately need to survive.

Oil export is terribly down according to their own Central Bank governor.

Since they claim to be in charge of the Strait, tell them to export their Oil to their Chinese customers.

The leverage they thought they held with the Strait of Hormuz has now turned to a Liability.

Balderdash? You spent all that time explaining how Iran is supposedly "cornered," yet your own argument admits that ships are still finding alternative routes through the region. So which is it: is the Strait the world-ending leverage you claim it is, or has the West already found a workaround? grin

And this part is hilarious: "Nothing will leave an Iranian port unless the US Navy allows it." grin

Bro, listen to yourself. You just described a situation where the world's most powerful navy has to actively control what comes out of an Iranian port. Yet somehow you're presenting that as proof that Iran is irrelevant. grin

If Iran is truly so helpless, why is so much of your argument still centered around what Iran might do with the Strait? Why are the US Navy, Gulf states, alternative corridors and Chinese customers all part of the discussion? A country with "no leverage" apparently has everyone making contingency plans around it. grin

And please don't confuse "the US can restrict something militarily" with "Iran has no strategic leverage." Those are two completely different claims.

As for the "Plan B" argument, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states building alternative export routes doesn't prove Iran has been defeated. It proves exactly what everyone already knows: Hormuz is strategically important enough that everyone wants a backup. grin

So maybe before declaring "Iran has been cornered," let's wait and see how much oil actually gets through the Strait, how much shipping continues through alternative routes, and what happens to the Strait itself.

Because right now, your argument sounds less like "Iran has no leverage" and more like "we need several backup plans because this little strait matters a LOT." grin

Tell him to export Iranian Oil through the Strait of Trump and do a Video for the world to see...

Tell him to go to the Iranian Central Bank and finance ministry and do a Video telling the world how much income, Iran have made since the Trump Blockade was reinstated. ...

Tell him to go to the Iranian Parliament and try to convince the speaker of Parliament that without the flow of cash and substantial income, the regime can survive....

Tell him to do a video and show us the current state of the Iranian Air Force, the Iranian Navy, Iranian missiles defense systems....

The world would love to see a video of the half dead Supreme Leader...

Tell him to do a Video and show us the current state of Iranian weapons manufacturing hubs and steel plants...

It is easy to do a video about fuel availability, even Afghanistan is swimming in fuel availability but that does not mean that all is well.

The reason they are still seeing fuel to buy is because the US and Israel have decided not to attack the Refineries or supply routes where they get their supplies..

Trump and Bibi are not after the ordinary Iranian people and their everyday lives...

They are after the regime and it's crooked leaders that wants a Nuclear weapons for their devilish desires.

And that would unfortunately rob off on innocent Iranians if their stubbornness continues..

Lastly Tell your Vlogger to do a Video of how much the Iranian currency have appreciated since the war started.. .

Bro, before you send the Iranian vlogger on a tour of the Iranian Navy, Air Force, missiles, banks, oil fields and Parliament, maybe ask yourself one simple question: if Iran is supposedly so weak, why hasn't the "most powerful military force in the world" managed to open that small strait? grin

You keep saying "Trump blockade" as if Trump personally invented the idea of closing a door that was already closed. grin

If the strait was already blocked or restricted, then congratulations to Trump for accomplishing the historic military feat of closing what was already closed. grin

And now you want videos proving Iran's military is weak? That's even funnier. Imagine having aircraft carriers, the world's most advanced fighter jets, satellites, missiles and a military budget worth hundreds of billions, yet you still can't simply open a relatively small maritime chokepoint. cry

Maybe the next Pentagon briefing should be called: "Operation: Please Open the Small Strait." grin

And as for the currency, fuel, oil income and all the other things you mentioned, apparently your economic theory is now: war + sanctions + blockade = stronger currency and everything is going according to plan. grin

So yes, tell the vlogger to make all those videos. But before that, tell Trump and his "most powerful force in the world" to make one video showing us how they managed to close a strait that was already closed, and why they still can't open it. cry

The Strait is now known as the Strait of Trump. A new American Territory.

If dem born that Supreme Leader well, he should order his boys to export Iranian Oil or goods through the Strait of Trump.

The half dead Supreme Leader cannot give such orders because he is not in control of the Strait of Trump.

Operation Economic Isolation will prove to be more powerful than Airstrikes and boots on the ground.
