MangekyoAlt: "As it is, under normal circumstances, the CAATSA sees interactions with the sanctioned countries as “persons” in 12 categories, but 10 of them will not ordinarily apply to India for its purchase of S-400." "Since India generally imports weapons following decisions made either by the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) headed by the Defence Minister or the Defence Procurement Board (DPB) headed by the Defence Secretary, it is they, not the country as such, will come under CAATSA restrictions provided they, as persons, seek loans from the US, apply for American visas or buy American properties and so on." "Turkey’s case, unlike India, is different. Turkey, as a member of NATO, is predominantly dealing with the Western arms in general and the American systems in particular." "The Americans have a legitimate fear that the purchase and pursuit of the S-400 system would endanger the security of US military technology and personnel. That is precisely the reason why the US has decided to backtrack from its decision of providing the F-35 aircraft to Turkey." Two different scenarios. |

MangekyoAlt: while I wasn't on this thread for US vs Russia. if you want us to go that way we can still do it. but these days I just want to stay off nairaland debate so I might not do that in the end though. You guys always take isolated situation and try to turn it to a fact. Turkey is part of NATO, it's a requirement to only buy weapon systems that are NATO approved or integrated. France will never use the Sidewinder Aim9x air to air missile. US will never use any other country's weapon aside their but the French fighter jets can shoot the AIM 9 and the F16 can shoot the meteor missile. You get the point now. What Turkey did why bought a system that is dangerous to the overall defense of NATO. Russia can't let NATO inspect the S-400 so there's no idea if that system is pinging info back to Russia. India has no such agreement with US. India are free to do as it pleases. The US only advised them not to get it but they still went ahead. that scenario has nothing to do with containing China. India only started buying US systems again of recent. They didn't use to do that because of the previous incident where the US refused to sell weapons system for jets India had already acquired because of Human rights violations and all that. so you see your point to someone that doesnt know will make perfect sense and sound reasonable when it actually isn't. |

MangekyoAlt: I've already addressed what you assume is economic benefits so I won't do that again. Like I keep repeating I'm not here for the usual US and Russia. You keep overlooking Ukraine sovereignty like it's nothing because you know Russia. Russia should have been more accomodating of Ukraine even if they are a hot head. Case-in-point: Turkey. If you know anything about NATO, you'd know how much leg room is given to Turkey. They do provide the leg soldiers but they are given a bit more freedom because of their strategic importance to NATO. If Turkey joins the Russia bloc, they open up mainland Europe. To avoid that scenario, a blind eye to turned to some of Turkey's behavior. Russia should have envisioned this scenario since day one that if Ukraine were to turn to NATO, they will be in a peculiar situation so anything Ukraine should be handled with a little more finesse but what did they do in reality. The complete opposite, instead trying to use brute force to command obedience forgetting like you're doing now that Ukraine is a sovereign state. They make their own decisions. You can treat your brother harshly and then turn around and say He shouldn't do that because I am a public figure, it will reflect badly on me. Instead you try to butter him up to your side more to cover your ass. which has been my whole point from the beginning. Russia being exposed to NATO attack and defense equipments is all on Russia. They shouldn't have allow it come to that point in the first place. Like I have always said, I don't know for others, the US are not saint either but look how the treat other countries and look how the treat Canada and Mexico. Alaska would not have been better protected from Russia by Canada and the US did the needful and took it as their own amicably even when the location shows its Canada. If it was another country far away from US, we both know the scenario would be difference. |

MangekyoAlt: personal attacks won't work here bro. If you know me you should know I don't roll on that level. I only tell you what is and what is not. As with all agenda, it's stand to the death. And to show how bias you are. First you said, why are other Countries in the Eastern region Pro Russia to emphasize on your point that Ukraine hates Russia that's why they want to join NATO. (which doesn't answer the question of "cause". Then you come up with economic benefits. So those other countries you were proudly showing off as Pro Russia, aren't they interested in this Economic benefits or what? At this point I can only conclude you don't know the answer to the question. So don't stress your head. Secondly since you don't know, joining NATO while nice and fun isn't all roses. You keep to be there, you pay the foreign soldiers in your country if they are stationed there. You pay to buy equipments. You cede you sovereignty over those bases. The nuclear arsenal in Germany is controlled by then US not Germany that it's stationed in. Germany has no say over its use. They only courtesy the receive is that they will be informed beforehand about its launched but they aren't involved in the decision process. Japan pays to keep US soldiers on its island and cede sovereignty over the island. Any attrocities committed their is subject to US laws. You only buy NATO approved weapons and platform. That's what joining NATO is like, not all bed and roses. Mexico aren't part of NATO but they enjoy defense coverage from the US because they are its neighbor. My point which you so arrogantly misinterpreted was all about how to blatantly overlook Ukraine sovereignty because you're Pro Russia. Your whole idea and reasoning is centered on why should Russia allow Ukraine to chose for themselves not why is Ukraine that way in the first place. Leaving all the West and Russia aside, even in real life, they way you treat people that knows your under-doings is different from the way you treat others. Which is my whole point, which is partly the answer to the cause. I even brought China for further emphasis. The US are amicable with its neighbors, e get why but Russia wants to Lord over them and then shout foul when they choose the enemy. Ukraine should be pampered by Russia but every time they have opportunity to do so, they chose to show how powerful they are. it's nice to do that to others not to your neighbors that are in your backyard. Nothing can dispute that facts. Agenda or otherwise |

MangekyoAlt: Dude!. Which Country burned down the White House? Which Country did the US annexed New Mexico from? How did the US even become a state? Have you ever read of the fights between Britain, France; Spain, Portugal? Let me not even talk about Germany. Turkey and Greece are fighting over a gulf. Japan was bombed by the US. Are those all not differences? but when it was cause for the greater good, they set aside their differences and worked together. Working together doesn't mean the like each other. The US is not really loved in France. Japan dislikes South Korea but the have a unifying figure in America. Russia was supposed to be the Mother bear for the Eastern states but how well have they done that. China was supposed to be the unifying figure in Asia but how well are they doing that. They are so focused on world domination that they are exposing their Achilles heels. I'm not here today to engage in the useless America and Russia tic for tac on Nairaland. All I'm saying and still saying is what causes these countries to choose NATO? I'm not avoiding your question just don't want to answer it because I know how this plays out on Nairaland. so if I answer it maybe you will finally answer mine or as usual you'll come up with another ridiculous one. Yes, the US will rain down fire and brimstone if Canada considers Russia. (You're happy, bravo!). Now why hasn't Canada chose Russia? You see? The US knows they don't want the enemy close to home so I pointed out since my first post and you still don't grasp something so simple, they allow Canada a lot of leg room so that in any scenario, Canada will always be pro west. They do sanctioned Canada if you must know. Why isn't Russia playing the same ball with her own backyard. Go figure |

k MangekyoAlt: comprehension is really the problem. I ask a simple question and I'm sure you know the answer will expose your stand badly hence why you're dodging it and trying to engage in tattle tales. I may be pro west but on this post. I haven't look to push any agenda just asked a simple question and you're all over the place. What would make Ukraine that shares a lot more with Russia to go Pro West?. I'm just asking for the cause and you're branching all over the place like it's Marvel multiverse. Just answer the simple question |

dermmy: Smh... Do you know how Countries join NATO? You're talking about NATO expansion but clearly overlooking what caused the former Soviet Union states to want to join them in the first place. Answer that question first since you know too much. There's no effect with cause. Something made the Baltic states to want to join NATO. Something is making countries in the SCS to sign pacts with the US but sure let's overlook that cause and chase after the effect because you know agenda |

If you even took time to understand my comment not read to reply to show how knowledgeable you are, you would have noticed were I wrote that US quickly resolve issues with Mexico and Canada. Both countries are given a lot of leg room by the US because they encompasses it. Can the same be said of Russia and China Ukraine didn't just wake up and decided they feel they should join NATO. Neither did Georgia back then. Something pushed them to do so. so can you kindly tell the audience what that was?? 1 Like |

MangekyoAlt: I like how you grossly overlook the facts that Ukraine is a sovereign nation and with that have the right to do as it pleases. if Russia doesn't want NATO close to it's backyards then stop bullying your neighbors to show influence and power. Ever wonder why the US is always very quick to resolve issues with Mexico and Canada?? China is now doing the same thing as Russia and what is the result? more countries in the SCS are joining pacts with the US. They are not doing it because the like the US, they are doing it to survive. But sure, let's overlook that facts are pain America as the bad guys.

arimahoseloka: Noah's time was different. The Bible let us know that not everyone that calls "Lord, Lord" will enter into the Kingdom of heaven. The Bible also tell us that those that continues in sin should continue and those that walks in the light should do so as every man will be judged on the last day. The point of my debate is that when you're focusing on what will happen (Armageddon), you're not converting people to believe in God or love him which is the main criteria as indicated in John 3 : 16. But you're converting them based on fear of what lies before them which we as mortals don't know if that will qualify you to enter everlasting life. Another scenario, if say a Councilor of a particular ward, tells his/her people that any family that doesnt come out to greet the Governor as he passes by, their house will be demolished and burned down. It stands to reason that even if the Governor isn't love by the people there, a lot of people will come out to greet the Governor not because the love him but because they don't want their house to be demolished. which if we interpolate with the end time begs the question. Will that be enough to grant eternal life 3 Likes |

arimahoseloka: he's not talking trash.... what our resident pastor and you are trying to do can be equated to waiting until the exams time to go and read. If you truly love God, you don't have to wait and see the signs of the end time to go and repent. That's pretending in a nutshell. If you want to convert souls to God, you live a wonderful Christian virtuous life, so that by your doings others can change and change wholeheartedly not telling them, tomorrow you'll be in total condemnation if you don't repent. They are not repenting because the love God but because as you are pointing out they don't want to be condemned. Two different things 1 Like |

My own case is once your doing get doing, I'll clear you immediately, if you go defensive with that's how I am then that's how I will be single. Marriage is compromise, you give up yourself for Us. But in this age of social media and celebrated egoistic influencers, you see people talk about marriage and still maintain "I".

safarigirl: omo una dey tire person o! Understanding! Understanding!!! I said Messi contributed 9 goals and you assumed I meant he scored 9 goals which goes to show you have no idea about the Copa America beyond Argentina won. How many matches in that tournament did you watch, "I follow football for a decade", I'll bet 5k, none. But you base your logic on nothing and you're shouting like you know anything. I even brought up Maradona to further drive home the point but you can't even comprehend simple logic. This week I'm done having senseless argument with people that jump on agenda and propaganda and call it facts.

EmmanuelScott1: from your previous post you replied to the other guy it's obvious you don't even know the year 2021. DFB Pokal that was won by Dortmund, you called it for Bayern. The only thing Lewandowski won was Bundesliga, SuperCup and Club World Cup. In the Euros which usually plays a big part He wasn't influential, couldn't get Poland out of the group stage. There were 170 journalists that voted, their list has been released by FF, there are some using the criteria that voted for Jorginho as #1, there's some for Kante, there are some that even omitted Messi and Lewandowski from their Top 5. At the end, each player's tally was calculated and the highest tally won so how did Lewandowski deserve to win?? Logic over sentiment. If you're looking for who to go back and forth with, I'm tired, been doing this ish ever since Messi won. So you your phone, get a piece of paper and argue with yourself |

safarigirl: single-handedly isn't used with its meaning in context when talking about football. Argentina scored 12 goals in Copa America, out of the 12, Messi contributed to 9 of those. add to the fact he was their captain, that qualifies as single-handedly. Maradona is being touted as single-handedly leading Napoli to 2 Seria A championship but he wasn't the only one scoring the goals. His performance was so good, it qualifies to use the phrase. In situations where there's no one individual brilliance in a team that won, the praises goes to the Captain. " He led the team ......." so yeah, Messi single-handedly led Argentina to the Copa America 4 Likes 1 Share |

Pimine: what's with the placing and placing. Ronaldo only goes after the final ball, the last time Messi played that way He scored 91 goals and gave more assists than Xavi and Iniesta combined that year. Leave livescores, how many PSG match have you watched?? Mbappe has been missing chances week in week out, not saying Messi hasn't either but you'll never heard that side of the story. This PSG team is constructed with Mbappe as the protagonist, that's coming from their sporting director's mouth, they are doing everything to make him stay but papers won't sale if they use Mbappe name. Do watch their matches unless you just after agenda then it's still good |
