You didn't mention Biafra. I hear the Jews even originated from there

Fuckyoumod:
This is nonsensical of the Nigeria Army to generally accuse Delta state monarchs.

What happened intelligence?

Is this the norm in the North?

zeuss:
Why accuse community leaders who are most probably innocent with out irrefutable evidence?
No effort to appear be politically correct.
The military has never said this of bokoharam or bandit plagued areas.

Israel already has what it takes to slaughter Palestine

One of the biggest mistake of a president..... Same way Nigeria massively voted for APC and suffered for it...... And still suffering it.

President Biden over the weekend drew a “red line” for Israel, warning against an attack on the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip.

In a Saturday interview with MSNBC, the president offered his harshest criticism to date of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the Israeli leader is “hurting Israel more than helping Israel” in how he has conducted the war against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Gaza. Mr. Biden said Israel must take greater care to protect civilians in Gaza.

He also made clear that an Israeli attack on Rafah would be unacceptable.

It is a red line,” Mr. Biden said when asked about a potential Israeli military assault on the city, where more than 1 million Palestinians have sought shelter in southern Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war.

“But I’m never going to leave Israel,” the president quickly added. “The defense of Israel is still critical. There’s no red line [where] I’m going to cut off all weapons so they don’t have the Iron Dome to protect them.”

“But there’s red lines that if he crosses them — you cannot have 30,000 more Palestinians dead as a consequence of going after” Hamas, Mr. Biden said. “There’s other ways to deal with, to get to, to deal with the trauma caused by Hamas.”

Hamas, a militant group financially backed by Iran, launched an Oct. 7 attack on Israel that killed more than 1,200 Israelis and resulted in the taking of about 250 hostages. About 100 of those hostages are still in Hamas‘ hands

Mr. Biden said CIA Director William Burns is in the Middle East right now trying to secure a deal between Israel and Hamas that would free those hostages in exchange for a six-week cease-fire.

The United Nations has warned of a growing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians lack access to food, water, medicine and shelter. Israel maintains that Hamas is to blame for that suffering, as the group routinely uses civilians, along with hospitals and schools, as shields for its militant operations.

Gaza officials say that more than 30,000 Palestinians have died since Israel launched its military operation in October.

Last week, Mr. Biden announced that the U.S. military would construct a temporary pier along the Gaza coast to help funnel humanitarian aid into Gaza. The Associated Press reported Sunday that a U.S. Army vessel carrying equipment for building that pier is en route to the Mediterranean Sea. The U.S. also has been conducting humanitarian airdrops over Gaza.

As the U.S. tries to get more aid into Gaza, the administration is no longer hiding its clear frustration with Mr. Netanyahu and his government. Mr. Biden was captured on a hot mic after his State of the Union address on Thursday saying he needs to have a “come to Jesus meeting” with Mr. Netanyahu.

The president elaborated on those comments during his weekend interview with MSNBC.

“What’s happening is he has a right to defendIsrael, a right to continue to pursue Hamas but he must, he must, he must pay more attention to the innocent lives being lost as a consequence of the actions taken,” Mr. Biden said. “He’s hurting, in my view, he’s hurting Israel more than helping Israel by making the rest of the world — it’s contrary to what Israel stands for. And I think it’s a big mistake.”

Mr Biden‘s use of the term “red line” may evoke memories of 2012, when then-President Barack Obama infamously declared that the use of chemical weapons by Syrian dictator Bashar Assad’s regime constituted a “red line” that would spark a direct U.S. military response. Mr. Biden was vice president at the time.

A year later after Mr. Obama’s warning, Mr. Assad used chemical weapons against his enemies, but the U.S. did not strike. The Obama administration later cut a deal in which Syria would turn over all of its chemical weapons to Russia, though by virtually all accounts, Mr. Assad retained some chemical weapons capability.

VeryWickedMan:
Nonsense.

Russian subs carrying SATAN-II missiles will detect and end this crap within minutes.

It reported that a single F-35 could potentially annihilate over 310,000 residents of Moscow, the capital of Russia, in one sweep. The fatalities could escalate to over 360,000 if the bomb were to be dropped in the densely populated central St Petersburg

Previously, the US air force deployed B61 bombs on F15E and F16 jets. Now, the bomb is being deployed on more survivable F35 stealth fighters. This was followed by the operational deployment of B2 Spirit bombers with B61-12 bombs in November 2023.

In the last few years, the US air force conducted multiple flight trials of the B61-12 bomb from the F35, and it has been certified to carry this weapon ahead of schedule.

The upgrade includes requisite wiring and data links to use advanced B61-12 nuclear bombs, and this certification doesn’t extend to US marine corps-operated F35B and carrier-borne F35C variants. However, the US air force stated that all F35As in service will be upgraded to carry nuclear weapons

Unlike the F22 Raptor, which was specifically designed for air-to-air combat, the F35 is a multirole stealth fighter with ground strike capability. It has now become a dual-capable fighter, capable of performing both conventional and nuclear strike missions.

What is the B61-12 bomb?

The B61-12 is the latest version in the B61 thermonuclear gravity bomb family, developed as part of a life extension program aimed at modernising the US nuclear arsenal. It is replacing older versions such as the B61-4, B61-7, and B61-11.

Weighing just 320 kilograms, the B61-12 can be carried by various fighter jets in addition to strategic bombers.

Equipped with a warhead featuring variable blast yield ranging from 0.3 kilotons to 50 kilotons, depending on mission requirements, the B61-12 offers versatility in its destructive power. For comparison, the bomb used on Hiroshima, known as “Little Boy,” had a blast yield of 15 kilotons.

The B61 bombs, including the B61-12, can be used to destroy hardened underground nuclear and chemical storage bunkers in preemptive strikes.

According to reports, the B61-12 is equipped with a manoeuvrable tail kit and GPS-aided Inertial Navigation System (INS) guidance, allowing it to function as a glide bomb with an estimated range of 15 miles (24 km).

This standoff range enables the launch platform to drop the bomb from a safe distance, avoiding both enemy air defence systems and the risk of its own nuclear bomb explosion.

Nuclear bomb on stealth fighter
The F35 is designed with cutting-edge stealth technologies to evade air defence systems and can carry 2 B61-12 bombs in its internal bay. Given that in preemptive strikes, air defence threats are complex and dynamic, integrating nuclear bombs on the F35 allows stealth attack capability in nuclear strikes, making it a more credible nuclear deterrent.

Furthermore, the F35’s advanced electro-optical targeting system allows it to precisely guide the B61-12 Bomb onto the intended target, maximising the probability of destroying hardened underground targets with a single strike.

European F35’s to carry B61-12?
Besides the P3 countries—US, UK, and Francethat possess their own nuclear weapons within NATO, the US nuclear sharing program extends to five more European countries, allowing them to host B61 nuclear bombs on their territories.

These countries are Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Turkey, and Italy. Except Turkey, the remaining four countries are current or future operators of the American F35.

Germany and Italy have equipped their Tornado jets with B61-12 bombs and are poised to replace these jets with F35s. While 100 B61 bombs currently deployed in Europe are older versions, the F35 is only certified to carry the latest B61-12. There is a possibility of replacing them with the latest version and equipping those bombs on F35s sold to these countries.

Conclusion
Deployment of nuclear weapons on F35 stealth fighters is a significant achievement for the United States, enhancing the US nuclear deterrent. It is likely that this capability will also be deployed on European F35 jets.

HUSBAND DISCOVERS THAT HIS WIFE’S SUPPOSED FOUR SIBLINGS ARE HER CHILDREN FROM PAST RELATIONSHIPS AND THAT TWO OUT OF THEIR THREE CHILDREN ARE NOT HIS.

My wife and I have been married for 11years and are blessed with 3children. Things have been going smoothly in our marriage.

Some weeks ago, my phone got stolen and I lost all my contacts. So, I was trying to get a mutual friend’s contact from my wife’s phone when I saw messages between her and her mother about her children with her. I found out that the four children she had introduced to me as her siblings while we were dating are her children. I was beyond shocked and disappointed. This made me do secret DNA tests on our children and I found out that only the second out of the three children is mine.

This is a woman who has been dutiful and preaches about faithfulness, I never saw this coming. How has she been able to keep all this without raising any suspicion? Why would she do this to me? To us? Could she be married somewhere and I am the side-piece? Could it all be in the past? Where do I start from? How do I handle this? I have been confused beyond my years. Please advise me.

Goodlady:
No pity for terrorists!
Nuke them all!
It's now survival of the fittest!
Righteous people with brain knows only solution to terrorists is to destroy them to the roots and erase them. So Hamas is on a extinction mode!

Gaza health authorities said Israeli forces on Thursday (Feb 29) shot dead more than 100 Palestinians as they waited for an aid delivery, but Israel blamed the deaths on crowds that surrounded aid trucks, saying victims had been trampled or run over.

At least 112 people were killed and more than 280 wounded in the incident near Gaza City, Palestinian health officials said.

The loss of civilian lives was the biggest in weeks. Hamas said the incident could jeopardise talks in Qatar aimed at securing a ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages it is holding. When asked if he thought it would complicate the talks, US President Joe Biden said: "I know it will."

Medics in Gaza said they could not cope with the flood of serious injuries, which came as the death toll in nearly five months of war passed 30,000, according to Palestinian health authorities.

Israel disputed the account provided by officials in Hamas-run Gaza, which has been bombarded by Israeli forces for months since the Palestinian militant group's deadly rampage in southern Israel on Oct 7.

The Israeli military said the trucks were operated by private contractors as part of an aid operation that it had been overseeing for the past four nights.

One Israeli official said there had been two incidents, hundreds of metres apart. In the first, dozens were killed or injured as they tried to take aid from the trucks and were trampled or run over.

He said there was a second, subsequent incident as the trucks moved off. Some people in the crowd approached troops who felt under threat and opened fire, killing an unknown number in a "limited response", he said. He dismissed the casualty toll given by Gaza authorities but gave no figure himself.

In a later briefing, Israel Defence Forces spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari also said dozens had been trampled to death or injured in a fight to take supplies off the trucks.

He said tanks escorting the trucks had subsequently fired warning shots to disperse the crowd and backed away when events began to get out of hand. "No IDF strike was conducted towards the aid convoy," he said.

"The IDF was there conducting a humanitarian operation to secure the humanitarian corridor and allow the aid convoy to reach its designated distribution point."

The US State Department said it was urgently seeking information on the incident as did the French foreign ministry.

White House says aid incident is 'alarming' and 'tragic'

The White House said Biden discussed the "tragic and alarming incident" with the leaders of Egypt and Qatar, as well as ways to secure the release of Israeli hostages and a six-week ceasefire.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said it was an "ugly massacre" by Israel, and French foreign ministry spokesperson Christophe Lemoine said Israel was responsible under international law for protecting aid distribution to civilians.

One video shared on social media, whose location Reuters was able to verify, showed trucks loaded with many dead bodies as well as wounded people.

Another, which Reuters could not verify, showed bloodstained people being carried in a truck, bodies wrapped in shrouds and doctors treating injured patients on the hospital floor.


We don't want aid like this. We don't want aid and bullets together. There are many martyrs," a man said in one of the videos.

The Pentagon expressed alarm but declined to assign any blame. "These are human beings that are trying to feed themselves" Air Force Major General Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesperson, told a news briefing. "We're all kind of looking at that and saying: 'What happened here'?".

Palestinian death toll tops 30,000

The Palestinian health authorities said 30,035 Palestinians were now confirmed killed and more than 70,000 wounded in Israel's offencive, launched after the Oct 7 attack in which Israel said Hamas gunmen killed 1,200


Much of Gaza has been reduced to rubble and most of its 2.3 million population have been displaced from their homes at least once.

Aid deliveries to northern Gaza have been sparse and chaotic, passing through more active military zones to an area where the UN says many are starving, with videos showing desperate crowds surging around supply trucks.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) Hungary’s parliament voted Monday to ratify Sweden’s bid to join NATO, bringing an end to more than 18 months of delays that have frustrated the alliance as it seeks to expand in response to Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The vote, which passed with 188 votes for and six against, was the culmination of months of wrangling by Hungary’s allies to convince its nationalist government to lift its block on Sweden’s membership.

The government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán submitted the protocols for approving Sweden’s entry into NATO in July 2022, but the matter stalled in parliament over opposition by governing party lawmakers.

“This has been a decision that has taken some time, and we look forward to the process concluding rapidly,” Pressman said.

A presidential signature, which is needed to formally endorse the approval of Sweden’s NATO bid, was expected within the next few days.

Kristersson, Sweden’s prime minister, met last week with Orbán in Hungary’s capital, where they appeared to reach a decisive reconciliation after months of diplomatic tensions.

Following their meeting, the leaders announced the conclusion of a defense industry agreement that will include Hungary’s purchase of four Swedish-made JAS 39 Gripen jets and the extension of a service contract for its existing Gripen fleet.

Orbán said the additional fighter jets “will significantly increase our military capabilities and further strengthen our role abroad” and will improve Hungary’s ability to participate in joint NATO operations.

“To be a member of NATO together with another country means we are ready to die for each other,” Orbán said. “A deal on defense and military capacities helps to reconstruct the trust between the two countries.”

Robert Dalsjö, a senior analyst with the Swedish Defense Research Agency, told The Associated Press on Friday that Hungary’s decision to finally lift its opposition came only after Turkey and its president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, voted in January to ratify Stockholm’s bid.

After becoming the last NATO holdout with the Turkish vote, Orbán had to show some results for his government’s delays, Dalsjö said.

“In hiding behind Erdogan’s back, Orban could play, do some pirouettes,” he said. “Then when Erdogan shifted, Orban wasn’t really prepared for adjusting his position, and he needed something to show that could legitimize his turnaround. And that turned out to be the Gripen deal.”

Monday’s vote was just one matter on a busy agenda for lawmakers in the Hungarian parliament. A vote was also held on accepting the resignation of President Katalin Novák, who stepped down earlier this month in a scandal over her decision to pardon to a man convicted of covering up a string of child sexual abuses.

After accepting Novák’s resignation, lawmakers are expected to confirm Tamás Sulyok, the president of Hungary’s Constitutional Court, as the country’s new president. He is set to formally take office on March 5.
