Vl3ly: 🚨🚨 BREAKING – Algerian authorities have confirmed a massive deployment of Libyan troops on their border
“Give back our land, or we will take it by force”, the Libyan army issues an ultimatum to Algeria.
Libya that is yet to be stable is still dipping her hands in another war. Misplaced priority as if they will even develop the land they want to fight for and shed many bloods like western countries. No, it will be another shit hole to loot the resources
Mille: Hezbollah has and can fight Israel pound for pound. The problem is just that they are an organization and not a state, and does not have the support of most in Lebanon. I can only imagine if the Lebanese Army will try to defend its territory if and when Israel invades Lebanon.
Like you said whoever controls the air controls the war and how it is fought. Hezbollah has tunnels, advanced missiles and drone, and has said it has air defense capabilities. But unless we see them in action, they are just words. Btw, I don't see a direct war happening anytime soon cos unlike Hamas, Hezbollah can attack Israel directly and have the war fought on both territories. Every threat on Beirut and Lebanon happening now is to build pressure on Hezbollah and have the Lebanese populace turn against it so the shelling on Northern Israel can stop.
Procashtips: Waiting to see how everything pans out.
We're in for a long ride... Hezbollah the known namesis.
To the best of my knowledge, Hezbollah can't match isreal in war because isreal has a big edge over them both in weapons and finance. Moreover, you can't defeat an enemy that controls the air in battle, reason why Ukraine has been finding it hard to resist Russia but I believe the aim of making isreal fight Hezbollah is to take the heat off Hamas. Hamas has being receiving alot of heat since last year October and they really need that break to regroup. So that break isreal will be engaged with Hezbollah is really needed to distract the isrealis. It is a war strategy that is important. We all know Hezbollah can't fight isreal
The army estimates that Hamas is re-establishing weapons production workshops, and according to them there is no problem in Gaza obtaining explosives, as they are available in large quantities and on hand - Hamas is also trying to use the remnants of air force bombs that were launched but did not explode - senior army officials estimate that approximately 50,000 bombs that the Israeli Air Force has dropped on the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war, about 5% of them did not explode, meaning that about 2,000 to 3,000 bombs fell and Hamas could use them as raw materials.
Assessment in the army: If there is a long-term ceasefire in the fighting as part of a ceasefire prisoner exchange deal, Hamas will be able to significantly rehabilitate its military production system.
@medmannews
Isreal is really in a tight corner with the groups surrounding them. It's really really going to be a long ride for them
Vic2023: — 🇵🇸/🇮🇶/🇮🇷 BREAKING: Hamas plans to leave Qatar and establish its headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq; reportedly, Iran will be responsible for the security of Hamas officials from now on. Iraq has already approved the move – The National
The qataris are snakes and can't be trusted. I don't know why hamas made the mistake of hiding among them in the first place
seunny4lif: Mali’s Goita Accuses France Of Printing Counterfeit CFA Francs In Repeat Of 1960 ‘Operation Persil’
This was France's foreign counter-espionage agency printed millions of fake Guinean franc notes and flooded Guinea with them in 1960 to punish Sekou Touré for leaving the CFA Union and opening a Guinean central bank.
Known as "Operation Persil," it destroyed Guinea's economy.
How can you put your economy in the hands of foreigners in the first place? When you claim to be independent. How can another country be printing your own money? In this era
Masterviolence: Now you've switched to survivability?, The example i gave regarding the introduction of cars was as a result of your outright cry of "stealthiness"
You think a diesel-electric submarine uses diesel engine as the main source of navigation? The diesel engine is primarily to recharge the batteries when low, more like a backup power.
hypothetically speaking, If those battries could last for 5months without recharge, the need for a nuclear powered submarines will drop, and the sea will become scarier because when the diesel engine is not operational, a hybrid submarines is more steather.
I don't need to argue with you again on this subject again, don't say i did not correct you.
I don't know if a diesel-electric submarine operates differently from a diesel -electric ship but from my experience working on a Diesel -electric ship for about 4 years now, this is how it works compared to conventional diesel ship - The diesel -electric ship uses diesel to power it's generators which inturn powers it's electric motors that powers the propulsion and everything on ship while a conventional ship uses diesel to start it's main engines that power the propulsion engines while generators work by the side powering electrical equipment onboard. I doubt ships run on batteries alone for propulsion. Batteries are used to power critical equipment onboard that uses 220/440v and not heavy equipment or propulsion engines like propellers and rudders not steering gears
Appleyard: The likes of Kissinger would be shifting in their graves. Driving Russia and China into forging a near unbreakable alliance is already one of US worst strategic mistakes of the 21st century. But, driving states like NK and Iran to get access to advanced technology via mutual and strategic collaboration with perceived west enemies such as Russia and China, while pissing off traditional regional allies like the Saudis is a new low for US myopic foreign policy.
This is truly regrettable and history would be very hard against the current Biden's administration.
I think the saudis are just bluffing. They are not that reliable. The reason they took that action is because they feel so jealous about the way US helped Isreal during the iran missile attacks. They feel they deserve better despite all they have done for the US. They are the backbone of US hegemony with the backing of US dollars with saudi oil. They believe they have given more than enough compared to what isreal gives US. Isreal is a leaking basket that consumes US money year in year out compared to what they are sacrificing for US so they believe they deserve better. A promise of iron clad defence to saudis with supplying them with the needed modern weapons and nuclear ones will make them change mouth immediately. They are not meant to be trusted.
pansophist: Congrats bro, I am glad you could get the visa, and I am happy the advice I gave work.
The idea that an applicant needs an agency to apply on your behalf is wrong. Agents are very dangerous because you don't know what documents they can slip into your file, or if they can represent you well.
Agents can also be dumb, and many of them are very dumb. I have compiled visa applications for many people, go with them to the embassy, and wait outside for them to go in, and I sometimes talk to some of these agents that brought an applicant.
Asking basic questions, I realized it was a case of a one-eyed man leading the blind. The agents don't know how visa officers make decisions and the legal acts they are operating on.
Also, many of the applicants that were rejected should not be applying for visas in the first place. Visa sometimes can be ''try your luck'', but you will always get it if you are eligible for it.
Enjoy America sha. Avoid akata o, make them no go shoot you lol
Thanks bro. I had to take the bold step when i realized agents will send me back to my village sooner or later if i continue using them. Have wasted close to 10m on my 2 brothers between 2018 and this year using 5 different agents. They always have sweet mouth and always convince me that it will click but at the end of the day, nothing. If you spend 2m or 5m on a visa and it clicks, it won't pain you provided it clicks but after spending 2/5m yet nothing, you will feel like someone scammed of your hard earned money. So i realized, it is better i learn this thing by myself whether i get it or not, i would have gotten more experience. I spent only 200k for this visa i got (visa fee) while many agents told me to bring 1.5m, 2m, 5m for canada family visit visa while it won't take me more than 500k for that and 15m for canada LMIA processing. At that rate, i will go broke and all these are not even guaranteed.
I just want to say thank you for your support on this group and all other monikers who encouraged me to take this step. Honorable mention - Pansophist who created the awareness that i cab apply for any visa and do it myself without using any agent. I was of the opinion that someone can't get a visa especially US or canada without using agents but this thread with the help of other comments gave me the courage to push ahead and i got the visa last friday. I wanted to test the water and weigh my own value so i took the step and test and Glory be to God, i have been give 5 years visitor's visa.
.................... VO: why do you want to visit US and which city are you going to? Me: I work on the ship and will be on time off by that time, so want to visit the US for vacation. VO: Where do you work? Me: on ship VO: Have you travelled out of nigeria for the past 5 years? Me: I don't even work in Nigeria in the first place, i work outside the country 7/8 months out of a year. As a matter of fact, i just came back from Congo Kinshasha last saturday. VO: How much do you earn per month? Me: so so so $.... VO: Do you have Seaman discharge book as evidence that you are a sailor? employment contract paper? and attestation from company ? Me: provided all evidence. VO: Ohh, very nice. why don't you want to take your family along then? it will be nice if they follow you. Me: i will but maybe later. They have been with me in Ghana but want to travel now alone. VO: Welcome to US and enjoy your stay. Me: Thank you ma.
From my observation, they want to be sure you have good travel history, have a good job and income and be sure you will come back and not disappear. Close to 100 people ahead of me, only 3 of us where given visa. At a point i was scared when i saw the denying rate but thank God for everything.
pansophist: It doesn't show China's cowardice, it simply shows China to b e smart. Chinese people play the long game, they think in terms of dynasties, if not centuries. Their strategy at the moment is the best.
But be rest assured that it is China's support that prevents any huge blow to Russia after all the sanctions. If not that China has not developed its industries to be complete, meaning it can produce everything it wants, then Russia will fall.
However, China will not miss the opportunity to reunify Taiwan if Nato officially joins the war in Ukraine. When Nato's hands are tied with war with Russia, then China will make a move. This is their strategy.
And if the West with their exceptionalism comes to fight China, then Russia and China will once and for all, deal with this crisis together.
NAto knows this, hence they don't want to involve their soldier and are desperately tempting China to get into a war in his neighborhood, to tie China's hands, so it can deal with Russia first. China will never fall for that.
Nato's wet dream is for China and India to fight since they both have huge populations and should kill off themselves.
A few months ago, Biden sent thousands of US soldiers to the Taiwanese Island close to China, but China ignored it. China is too smart for those tricks. Chinese do not fight the Chinese.
The war is at a stalemate, and with every escalation, NATO will bear its consequences.
ALso, winning is not only by war but like water, it can destroy most things with time. China is busy dismantling US hegemony globally. From reducing payments in the USD, to multilateral organisations, deal with countries, and expansion of their industries.
I pray everything works according to their plan and we have a multipolar world...Amen
Gerrard59: Honestly, you are right. I don't know what else to suggest, but should Russia fail, China is gone! No ifs or buts. The Century of Humiliation would look like Child's play. Now, the US is coming to her backyard with small small economic deals with South East Asian nations.
For their own good, they better sit up and jump into the game before it becomes too late
Gerrard59: Man, looking back, I wonder if Oyibo do juju on Nigerians regarding this japa expedition. The tales I have on this thread are not palatable. I recall Emmaodet narrating how shocked he was to see his friends/associates selling all they had just to japa on student visa. Man must be glad with his decision to stay back because I must be honest, it is better to shine teeth with Tinubu as a married man with your hard-earned assets in Nigeria than cry in the UK because the British are making things tight for immigrants.
So na so slave trade bin dey? Nna mehn.
My brother, don't even know what to say than it is well.
There is this Tom and Jerry Episode titled ''Blue cat blues''.
Jerry was competing with Mr Butch, a billionaire cat who can afford her wildest dream of Jerry's crush.
Jerry bought everything within his power, from perfumes to diamonds, and even sold himself to slavery just to purchase a car to flex his cat chick.
But every time he shows up with a gift to impress, the cat babe just depresses his effort by showing him an equivalent of what Mr Butch got for her.
If Jerry bring Diamond ring as a gift, she shows him diamond collection that you need mask to wear because its so shiny and can blind your eyes.
Until one day, Jerry came to face with Mr Butch, then it became clear that he was in competition with other billionaire men, and his effort are meaningless. He would have committed suicide if not for Tom the mouse that saved him.
So lots of times, men are sad that they have tried their best and the lady just does not appreciate it, when in reality, he is competing with other men, and surely she will go for the best.
Tom and Jerry stylishly dey teach something back then lol, but few have the knowledge to spot the knowledge. You can watch the episode below, its just 2 mins.
Simeonjoe1: China is number 1 sisi I never knew why I rated them. If only defending justice in Chinese soil means world justice. On other places thousands of miles away from China they won't go. They could easily ease the tension on Russia by opening up another front in Taiwan closer to home but NO ordinary US threat scurried them away.
And China better sit up and smell the coffee because if Russia falls, what will befall China will be a child's play to what is happening now. Breaking Russia into 15 smaller countries and adding these smaller 14 countries to NATO to boost NATO army and military budget will be what china can't stand. The earlier they stop doing this sisi thing and jump into the war boldly just the way NATO is doing, the better for their own future. Let them send Russia 200b dollar as aid also and send 5000 military men as instructors to disguising as fighters and endless weapons to deter the west. These one west and NATO are arming Ukraine to the teeth while threatening china to stay off shows china cowardice.
The 98th Division withdrew from Jabalia, north of Gaza, after very violent clashes during the past weeks.
There were 341 operational combat incidents in the first week of fighting, and by comparison, in the first week of fighting in Khan Yunis, there were about 100 operational incidents.
120 anti-tank missiles were fired at Israeli army forces during the first five days of the operation in Jabalia alone.
10 Israeli soldiers were killed during the operation.
Is this man's ear really this big like elephant's own or cocoyam leaf or it is just the picture?
WrriterNg: ⚡NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg proposed to allocate 40 billion euros to help Ukraine annually and make these funds mandatory.
These guys are really really serious in keeping the statuscope same. They want to hold firm to the present world order while they subdue others from coming up and they are ready to spend trillions and trillions in dollars per year to keep the present status . They are very very devilish
I received my BIL (Biometric Instruction Letter) yesterday. Will i have to apply for a date with VFS online? or i will just have to go to their office maybe today or monday?
Vic2023: 🇵🇸⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱 Parts of the U.S. pier, which was built on the shore of Gaza, have been moved to occupied Ashdod for repairs after being damaged and washed away by sea waves.
Hamas will blow it up again and again if they try to set it up again. Even local docks built by local villagers at Lembe waterside, Oyorokoto fishing port at Andoni and many others that cost probably less than 2m naira to build with logs and timbers by villagers are still standing up till date and strong not to talk about companies with vast experience in dock building and with vast budget. And for the records, many of these local docks are open to sea just like the Gaza dock. Malabo fishing port is open directly to sea, Oron fishing port also etc. A floating dock is even easier to manage. You ballast it when ships are coming to align with the shore side or ship side and deballast accordingly later
pansophist: If you look at this objectively, then you'll find many faults in her behavior. But if you step into her reality and look at it relatively, you can understand why she acted like that.
The root cause of ungratefulness and entitlement are the same, and it's when one is used to getting something they didn't work for. They just get it just for existing.
And that's female reality at their prime. To the man, he did well for her, but to her, other men has beaten his record. He probably didn't know that he is competing with other simps in her rotational list of embezzlement.
