Beijing cites security concerns and is pushing for domestic chip adoption while stopping short of a full ban. I love these people  |

CNN: A memo written by the Pentagon’s policy chief gives the Defense Department the option to divert certain weapons and equipment intended for Ukraine back into US stockpiles, painting a murky picture ahead of Trump’s potential meeting with Putin.
I believe this has more to do with their depleted stockpiles than de-escalation gestures. This is what you get with almost a trillion dollars per year. |

Now they are all tired of defeating Russia on the battlefield, the same zelemsky that rejected ceasefire with Putin, is now beggin Putin for a ceasefire.

Mikasaobi: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/china-is-choking-supply-of-critical-minerals-to-western-defense-companies/ar-AA1JQ1qs
Earlier this year, as U.S.-China trade tensions soared, Beijing tightened the controls it places on the export of rare earths. While Beijing allowed them to start flowing after the Trump administration agreed in June to a series of trade concessions, China has maintained a lock on critical minerals for defense purposes. China supplies around 90% of the world’s rare earths and dominates the production of many other critical minerals. The squeeze on critical minerals highlights how dependent the U.S. military is on China for much of its supply chain—giving Beijing leverage at a time of rising tensions between the two powers and heated trade negotiations. Defense manufacturers supplying the U.S. military rely on minerals that are mainly produced in China for microelectronics, drone motors, night-vision goggles, missile-targeting systems and defense satellites.
If you’re wondering why trump is avoiding china in the tariffs on Russian oil, read the full article in the link. And while they will be struggling to find alternative supplier of refined rare Earths for their arms industry, China is already rolling out prototypes of their 6th generation fighters. I heard China is even rejecting their Nvidia chips. Person wey done big, done big abeg. |

We've gotten so used to the idea of just fighting guerilla wars and fucking fighting terrorists and everything else that we kind of forgot what it means to actually fight a war," he said.
The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan were real wars that came at a severe cost in human lives, but the war in Ukraine is industrial warfare at levels of destruction like the world has not seen in a long time.
With the focus on the wars in the Middle East during much of this century, the US and some of its NATO allies in Europe allowed the skills needed for this kind of conflict to atrophy.
The veteran said that when he went through training, he never got any real training for peer-on-peer conflict. "A little bit of talking about it and just a little bit of training, but nothing to the point that would have prepared me for the war in Ukraine," he recalled.
He said that he has seen a lot of Western soldiers struggle in Ukraineas "they already have a set idea about how things should be and everything, and it's just not that way out in Ukraine."
You can read the article in the link. NATO is not ready and invisible planes won’t save them. These same people look down on China for being untested, because they think throwing bombs and piling up thousands of collateral casualties would do them much good against a formidable adversary. |

usmanpogo: It doesn't seem you followed why integrity was brought into the question, the writer guy said he can't sell his soul for money or visa, isn't that rich coming from someone advocating for another country for a fee. The last disagreement I had here was with Gbadebo, I'm certain you're aware, he defended the Nigerian army til the very end, I was forced to give up. Does that mean he supports everything the Nigerian army does ? No, he was being patriotic ( I hope )
When we criticize a country for it actions, I want to believe we all do that in hope the country does better and not a case of giving a dog a bad name just to hang it. I hope that's lucid enough. I've been very busy lately and I follow the updates in descending order. I get the context now although I doubt that anybody is getting paid here. |

usmanpogo: My tone didn't change, I made it clear since inception The only people I advocate for are Nigerians and the African continent, the rest nor too concern me.
The Writerng guy refused to read the rest of my first statement, he only read the part where I said the US under president Nixon opened up the Chinese markets to the world, he didn't bother to read the part I said, the protectionist policy caused the great depression, it seems he doesn't like any part of history that pointed out any good the US did.
You can't claim integrity if you advocate for a foreign government. Does the foreign policy of Nigeria aligns with Russia ? Lai Lai This doesn't make sense. Care to explain please? If I'm not misunderstanding, you're essentially saying regardless of the conduct of your country and that of other countries, you have to be in full support of your country and be indifferent about others before you can claim to have intergrity. That sounds very absurd to me. |

The occupation is deliberately preventing aid trucks from entering Gaza as part of a systematic starvation policy.

seunny4lif: "If Donald Trump had been president in the 20th century, so much could have been avoided. World War I, World War II, the nuclear arms race, the Cold War — Trump could have prevented all of this. After all, his last name means 'Truce.' We know that all politicians are often perceived as narcissistic. They can be arrogant and boastful. But Trump is a step ahead — he is shamelessly narcissistic. As a species, we should be more grateful to Trump. Thanks to his negotiations with God, the sun rises every day. Thanks to his mediation, ships can sail the ocean. Without him, gravity would not exist."
Not my word  I know this might sound like a joke, but there are adults in USA that genuinely believe Trump is on a divine mission. |

Alamkiir: [b]BREAKING: Statement from the Yemeni Armed Forces regarding the announcement of the fourth escalation phase of the naval blockade on the Zionist enemy and the targeting of all ships whose owning companies deal with the ports of occupied Palestine.
“Given the rapid developments in occupied Palestine, specifically in the Gaza Strip, including the continuation of the war of genocide and the martyrdom of thousands of our brotherly Palestinian people as a result of the aggression and siege that has been ongoing for months, and amid shameful Arab, Islamic, and international silence. Yemen, in the face of the continuation of these horrific, brutal, and unprecedented massacres in our contemporary history, finds itself faces a religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibility toward the oppressed who are subjected daily and around-the-clock, to killing and destruction by air, land, and sea bombardment, as well as to starvation and thirst due to the stifling and severe siege on steadfast and proud Gaza, which is unacceptable to any human being, let alone Arabs and Muslims.
Accordingly, the Yemeni Armed Forces, relying on Allah Almighty and trusting in Allah, have decided to escalate their military support operations and begin implementing the fourth phase of the naval blockade against the enemy. This phase includes targeting all ships belonging to any company that deals with the ports of the Israeli enemy, regardless of the nationality of that company, and in any location within the reach of our armed forces.
The Yemeni Armed Forces warn all companies to cease their dealings with Israeli enemy ports starting from the moment this statement is announced. Otherwise, their ships, regardless of their destination, will be targeted anywhere that can be reached or within the reach of our missiles and drones.
The Yemeni Armed Forces call on all countries, if they want to avoid this escalation, to pressure the enemy to halt its aggression and lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip. There is no free person on this earth who can accept what is happening.
The actions of the Yemeni Armed Forces express our moral and humanitarian commitment to the injustice against the brotherly Palestinian people, and all our military operations will be ceased immediately upon the cessation of aggression against Gaza and the lifting of the blockade.
Sana'a, Safar 2, 1447 AH July 27, 2025 AD. Issued by the Yemeni Armed Forces” [/b] I have mixed feeling about the feasibility of this decision, but it strengthens my respect for the Houthis. There are far more powerful countries in the region that could have put a stop to this genocide without a single bullet but they're just too useless and greedy. That Yemen, the one of the poorest countries in the world, is willing to absorb airstrikes for people that may not even like them due to religion is something that deserves commendation. |
