Both Hamas and the Israeli govt are terrorists. Only difference is that Israel has more capacity to murder children.

helinues:
What gibberish was written there? Is that why Isreal occupy Gaza, West Bank illegally for decades?

I can never justify the terror attack by Hamasen on Oct 7, same way I can never justify Isreal killing innocent Palestine when they claimed they are fighting Hamas.
Why not face Hamas and leave innocent Palestines put of it?

Hamas recognised Israel in 2018. Why is everyone concerned about those who don't recognise Israel? Does Israel itself recognise the existence of a Palestinian state?

infofta:
The fight is about land ownership. Neither party is willing to compromise. But Hamas does not recognize the existence of Israel just like Iran which makes the whole situation complex.

If you have a Canadian passport, its a proof that a country exists called Canada. In the beginning there was no Israel, just Palestine with Muslims, Christians and Jews all living in peace even though there were Muslim majority. More Jews continue to pour in as they fled Europe. Then, the British who had dominion over Palestine, decided that they should divide the land into two and give one part exclusively to the Jews just coming back from Europe. Have you ever wondered why the British didn't just rename the entire country Israel and allow everybody continue to live in peace. Nope, they had to carve an exclusive zone for Jews. The problem is that there were millions of Arabs already living in that place. How can you be in a place where your great grand parents lived, a place you consider your ancestral land and then you wake up one day and you are asked to vacate for some guys coming from Europe because their forefathers lived there 2 thousand years ago? Did you know who was living on the land of your native village 2 thousand years ago? Did you know the canaanites were even there before the Jews and they were a black race? Why is everyone blind to reason and insisting a certain people are special even though the Bible says we as Christians are now sons of God, equal to the Jews. I will not bow down to no Jew, they are flesh and blood and they don't even believe Jesus. Most people supporting Israel are either Jewish asslickers because of religion or Palestinian haters because of terrorism. However you cannot hate an entire race simply because some of them are wicked.

cjudy:
You no get sense.
Should I show you Canadian Passport? Maybe then you will think I’m from Canada

You guys are pathetic. You will cling to any stupid argument to support your bias perspective.
This case just makes me understandthat humans are not driven by reason but by emotions. If you want to control people control their emotions, let them fear something, let them hate something, make something sacred to them and they will fall in line.

mikelopez:
This is pure open daylight robbery

The can NEVER escape this rigging

The youths are coming for them

It will happen so fast that they will not be able to escape

Massive Nationwide riots loading

Just wait for INEC to announce the results

220,000,000 people and how many soldiers do we have in the arm forces less than 5,000,000.

The security forces can NEVER crush over 220,000,000 Nigerians

Let that sink

Abeg speak for only yourself. Only IPOB igbos will protest. Everybody else will welcome the new president.

mbahdi:
We are taking note of every one manipulating dis election and we are coming for each and everyone of Dem one after d other despite d security there may tink there have we will fish Dem out and bring Dem down.

And you think you are invincible? If anyone try rubbish the military will waste them. There are several evidences of LP agents rigging in broad day light and nobody is even talking about it. I am sure you will not partake in the violence but will sit in one dark corner with 25mb internet and be inviting violence. Tinubu will win. If it pains you, go and hug transformer.

madridguy:
Pa OBJ himself.

Election Updates...

1. Peter Obi wins "Tinubu's" Lagos. But you are still saying INEC is rigging for Tinubu just so that when Tinubu wins Katsina, you will say it was rigged.

Oh wait. Atiku won Katsina, Buhari's State.

So really how many persons do you want to accuse INEC of rigging for? Why not accept where your candidate lose?


2. So Obi can win Lagos, it is not rigging. But Amoda Ogunlere cannot win Osun that you said he is from, it is rigging.

Oh wait. Tinubu did not even win Osun. Atiku did. So what are you saying please? You thought Obi will win Osun??

3. Obi went to Kano and went straight to Sabon Gari where you have Igbos and minority Christians.

That is the divisive campaign Obi ran yet you will shout rigging if Tinubu wins Kano.

Oh wait. It is Kwankwaso that is winning Kano despite being an enemy of the sitting APC Governor!

Again, what are you saying

4. In the South East where Obi is from, Obi is winning by 90%

In the South West where Tinubu is from, Obi has won Lagos, Atiku took Osun. But when Tinubu takes Ekiti, it is rigging.

What is wrong with you guys?

5. Obi is winning in Edo State. If you add PDP and APC votes and times it by 2, Obi is still winning. This is a State where there is a PDP Governor and a Former APC National Chairman.

But it is rigging anywhere Obi is not winning. How can a people be this bigoted?

6. I have read, on WhatsApp, people saying they will poison food and give to Northerners for not voting Obi.

I have read people here saying they will never give a Northern beggar any money for not voting Obi.

Meanwhile Obi is clearing the South South and South East and Northerners are not threatening anyone. And you will call them uncivilized?

7. An unknown Labour party candidate for House of Rep, defeated the APC and PDP to win Etin-Osa Fed. Constituency in Lagos.

The APC guy was Obanikoro's son. The PDP guy was Banky W the musician. Both floored by a Labour party candidate people didn't know.

But the election was rigged is coming from the mouth of Labour party supporters.

8. Another unknown Labour party candidate defeated the APC and PDP in the major Senatorial Election in Edo.

The gap was almost 200%. If you add the PDP and APC votes together, the unknown Labour candidate still beat them with over 50k votes and these were not small candidates. They are the two most influential people in Benin!

But Labour Party supporters are still shouting rigging, failed election. Does this make sense

9. Obi is heading to 500,000 votes in Enugu. Whereas Tinubu has less than 5,000 votes in the whole Enugu.

This is not rigged, but wherever Tinubu wins is rigged.

10. Atiku's VP is the GOVERNOR of Delta State.

In Delta State, Obi has won 11 out of the 16 Local Government Areas annoinced so far.

But his supporters are still shouting the election is rigged. Is that not madness?

NB: If you cause the war you are using to bully everyone we will all suffer it. Pat Utomi that is encouraging you will carry his oyinbo face and seek asylum somewhere in America or Europe where he will collect cool breeze and return after your demise to claim hero of democracy. Use sense.

God bless you.

Grgton:
You are happy APC is having their way by rigging it out

?? That is the kind of country you want for your unborn children??

There was massive rigging for Obi in the SE states with old women being guided to thumbprint for obi enmasse. I saw the videos na.

Obrigardo:
pain am in what exactly?

That criminal putin is losing woefully, and couldn't even take Kyiv in a year?

Naaaa, nothing dey pain me for there.

Hmm. He is losing. Is that why they loaded 20 trucks filled with corpses of Ukrainian soldiers in Soledar?

Watch out! Backhmut will be Soledar times 5. The Nazi scum are dying like flies.

Slymking:
China the paper tiger with no claws always yarppin without action, better don't try stupid things that would provoke US and NATO cus China thought it about having million of soldiers that they can confront NATO I pity them, meanwhile this shitty China promised Ukraine protection if invaded by any nuclear power but reverse is the case here today but I wouldn't blame them as the saying goes"show me your friend and I'd tell you who you are" Russia also can't be trusted with anything so China and Russia are same.

China defeated US in Korea several decades ago without an air force. US is the paper tiger.

Where does Europe go in the wake of the Nord Stream allegations? It is hard to see a Germany-dominated Europe diverging far from Washington.
“NATO has never been stronger; Russia is a global Pariah; and the world remains inspired by Ukrainian bravery and resilience; in short, Russia has lost, Russia has lost strategically, operationally and tactically – and they are paying an enormous price on the battlefield”.
He, (General Mark Milley, U.S. Chief of Defence Staff) doesn’t believe a word of that. We know that he doesn’t believe it because, two months ago, he said the exact opposite – until he was chastised by the White House for straying off the Joe Biden message. Now he is back, playing on ‘Team’.
Zelensky likely also doesn’t believe the word of the recent European promise of tanks and aircraft – and he knows it to be mostly a chimera. But he plays on Team. A few extra tanks will make no difference on the ground, and his fifth mobilisation is being resisted at home. The European militaries are waiting-out this episode, their armouries running on ‘reserve tank’.
Zelensky repeatedly says he must have tanks and planes by August to sandbag his haemorrhaging defences. But contradictorily Zelensky is warned, It’s critical; “make significant gains on the battlefield” now – as it is the Administration’s “very strong view” that it will be harder thereafter, to obtain Congressional support (i.e. August is past time; it will be too late).
Clearly the U.S. is preparing the ground for a Spring ‘Victory Announcement’ – as Milley’s delusional comments foreshadow – and a pivot – just a whisker ahead of the U.S. Presidential Election calendar kick-off.
The ‘narrative’ in the MSM has already begun to transition to that of a coming crushing Russian offensive – and of heroic Ukrainian resistance overwhelmed by crushing force.
“The critical nature of the next few months has already been conveyed to Kiev in blunt terms by top Biden officials — including deputy national security adviser Jon Finer, deputy secretary of state Wendy Sherman and undersecretary of defence Colin Kahl, all of whom visited Ukraine last month” (Washington Post) – with CIA Director Bill Burns travelling to personally brief Zelensky just a week ahead of those officials’ arrival.
Zelenksky was put on notice. Results now, or else!
But then Seymour Hersh finally says out loud, an unspoken harsh reality – one with hugely complicated political consequences (taken from Hersh’s subsequent interview with Berliner Zeitung, (Google translation)). No, not the Nord Stream sabotage (we knew that), but that of reckless misjudgement and rising anger in Washington – and contempt for Biden and his close team of neocons’ immature political judgements.
It’s not just that the Biden Team ‘blew up the pipelines’; they’re proud of that! It’s not just that Biden was prepared to eviscerate the competitive ability and employment prospects of Europe for the next decade (some will applaud). The explosive part of the narrative was that “At some point after the Russians invaded, and the sabotage was done… (these are people who work in top positions in the intelligence services, and are well trained): They turned against the project. They thought it crazy”.
“There was a lot of anger among those involved” noted Hersh. Initially, Biden’s Nord Stream narrative – ‘it will not happen’ – was understood by the Intel ‘pros’ as simple leverage (linked to a then prospective Russian invasion) – an invasion which Washington knew was coming, because the U.S. was prepping Ukrainians furiously – precisely in order to trigger the Russian invasion.
Yet the Nord Stream sabotage was postponed – from June until September 2022 – months after the invasion had happened.So, what then was the point of crippling the European industrial base through imposing sky-high energy costs on it? What was the rationale? And there was more anger at Biden’s Team members ‘shooting their mouths’ about Nord Stream, effectively boasting ‘damn right, yes, we ordered it’.
Hersh comments that although the CIA answers to ‘power’ in the broad meaning, rather than to Congress, “even this community is horrified by the fact that Biden decided to attack Europe in its economic underbelly – in order to support a war that he will not win”. Hersh opines that in a White House obsessed with re-election, the Nord Stream sabotage was seen as a ‘win’.
Hersh said in his Berliner Zeitung interview:
“What I know is that there is no way this war is going to end the way we [the U.S.] wants it to end … It scares me that the president was ready for such a thing. And the people who carried out this mission believed that the president was well aware of what he was doing to the people of Germany. And in the long run, [they believe] this will not only damage his reputation as president, but also be very harmful politically. It will be a stigma for the U.S.”.
The concern is more than that – it is that Biden’s obsessive zeal is turning the Ukraine from a proxy war into an existential issue for the U.S. (existential in the sense of the humiliation and reputational damage if the war was lost). It is already a Russian existential issue. And two nuclear powers in an existential confrontation is bad news.
Let us be very clear: This was not the first time that Biden did something – regarded by the U.S. intelligence professionals – as wholly reckless: Robert Gates, the former Defense Secretary said on Sunday that Biden has been wrong on nearly every major foreign and security issue over four decades. In February 2022, he seized Russia’s foreign exchange assets; he expelled its banks from SWIFT (the interbank clearing system) and imposed on her a tsunami of sanctions. The Federal Reserve and the ECB said afterwards they were never consulted, and if they had been – would never have consented to the measures.
Biden claimed his action would ‘reduce the rouble to rouble’; he was grievously mistaken. Rather, Russia’s resilience has brought the U.S. closer to a financial precipice (as dollar demand dries up, and the world shifts eastwards). From the perspective of significant financial actors in New York, Biden and the Fed now must hurry to rescue a systemically fragile U.S.
Simply said, the import of Hersh’s Berliner Zeitung interview (and his other pieces) is that factions within the U.S. Deep State are furious at the circle of neo-cons (Sullivan, Blinken and Nuland). Trust is ‘done’. They are coming for them; and will keep on coming… Hersh’s piece is but a first taste.
For the moment, the neo-cons’ Ukraine project remains ‘current’, with Team Biden demanding all western allies remain tightly on message, ahead of the 24 February first anniversary of Russia’s Special Operation.
It would appear the critical window for Ukraine somehow to ‘magically win’ however, is being cut from months to a few weeks. ‘Winning’, of course, remains undefined. Yet the reality is that it will be Russia, rather than Ukraine, that will be mounting the Spring offensive – and possibly along the entire length of the Contact Line.
The ‘writing is on the wall’ for Ukraine (albeit with Kamala Harris dispatched to the Munich Security Conference) to plug the Team ‘line’ of an ‘enduring commitment to Ukraine’ by the collective West for the long haul.
Paradoxically, behind the curtain, this ongoing ‘civil war’ in the U.S. Establishment threatens to become ‘the writing on the wall’ for Biden too – as he approaches that 2024 Candidature decision moment.
Can Biden be trusted not to be reckless, the U.S. Intelligence Community must be asking itself, as Ukraine grinds into entropy under a Russian surge across all fronts? Will Biden again become desperate?
Can we imagine that the U.S. might just throw-up its hands and concede Russian victory? No – NATO might disintegrate in the face of such spectacular failure. So the political instinct will be a gamble; to double-down: A NATO deployment into western Ukraine as ‘a buffer force’, to ‘protect it from Russian advances’ is under consideration.
It is not hard to see why factions within the Deep State are “appalled”: America’s defence industry products are being consumed in Ukraine faster than they can be manufactured. It is adversely changing the U.S. calculus on China, as the U.S. military inventory burns away in Ukraine. And the Ukraine war easily can spill across eastern Europe …
The bottom line is the unexpected insight (for the élite) that the U.S. itself may be the biggest loser in the war on Russia. (Moscow understood this from the outset).
Team Biden has essentially sparked a concerted push-back from the Establishment versus his decision-making competence. Hersh’s report; the Rand Organisation Report, the Economist interviews with Zelensky and Zaluzhny, the CSIS report, the IMFreport showing Russia growing economically, and the scattered eruptions of hard reality appearing in the MSM – all attest to the circle of dissent at Biden’s handling of the Ukraine war that is gathering steam.
Even the recent Chinese Balloon hysteria, leading to NORAD shooting down every and all unidentified objects in U.S. airspace, smacks of some at the Pentagon poking the Biden team ‘in the eye’: i.e., If you (Team Biden) are stupid enough to insist we ‘uncheck every box’ on the NORAD radars, don’t be surprised at the rubbish you will be shooting down daily.
This speaks firstly of disdain for the White House grasp of the finer details; and secondly of how the Chinese Balloon has performed a symbolic role in re-energising the U.S. China hawks who hold the majority in terms of bi-partisan Congressional support.
Can Biden be removed? Theoretically ‘yes’. Sixty percent of young Democratic Party members do not want Biden to stand again. The difficulty however, lies with Kamala Harris’ deep unpopularity as a possible successor. The latest evidence of Harris’ fading position is a sharply critical article in the New York Times, filled with anonymous disapproval from senior Democrats, many of whom once supported her. Now, they are worried.
Their fear, Charles Lipson writes, is that she’s almost impossible to drop:
“To win, Democrats need enthusiastic support from African Americans, who are likely to be insulted if Harris is dumped. That problem might be averted if she were replaced by another African American. But there are no obvious alternatives. If Harris is replaced, it would likely be by a white or Hispanic candidate …
“Such a change would roil a party deeply invested in the politics of racial and ethnic identity, where losing groups are seen as aggrieved victims, winners as “privileged” oppressors. Those divisions are most virulent when they centre on America’s historic wound of race, and they would be turned inward on the party”.
Why should we not expect an investigation by the Democratic Party hierarchy or from Congress in pursuit Seymour Hersh’s allegations of deliberately by-passing Congress? Well, put simply, it is this: Because it exposes the ‘unsayable’. Yes, Biden did not ‘inform’ Congress, though some of them do seem to have known about the Nord Stream sabotage in advance. Technically, he bypassed the system.
The difficulty is that both sides of the House largely APPROVE of such exceptionalism – U.S. exceptionalism provides that the U.S. can do what it likes, whenever it likes, to whomsoever it wants. There are so many instances of this ingrained in practice: Who will dare to cast the first stone at ‘Old Joe’? No, the case against Biden – if it is to be pursued – must be the collective view that Biden is unfit to exercise sound judgement on issues which might risk lurching the U.S. toward all-out war with Russia.
If Biden is forced out, it will be done from ‘smoke filled rooms’ of insiders. Too many have quietly benefitted from the Ukraine boondoggle.
Where does Europe go in the wake of the Nord Stream allegations? It is hard to see a Germany-dominated Europe diverging far from Washington. The present German leadership is in thrall to Washington and readily has accepted its vassalage. France will – a few hiccoughs aside – stick with Germany. However, as the U.S. observes its dollar sphere contract with the expansion of the BRICS and the East Asian Economic Community, the U.S. will bear down hardest on its captive nearest economies. Europe will likely pay a devastating price.
In any event, the EU does not discuss the really sensitive issues in public – only in meeting rooms where all mobiles have been removed in advance. Transparency or accountability barely figure in such discussions.

Please nobody here should defend Aimloan. It is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a loan app. Even after clearing their money they will still send your photo to your contacts and threaten them. I wish someone would call these idiots to order one day. The best thing is just to avoid them at all cost. In my own case somebody else applied using my identity and I had to pay it all. But despite clearing the debt they still continued sending threats to my contacts.

“Attempts are currently underway to compromise the PDP Re-run Primary Elections for the Eti – Osa Federal Constituency House of Representatives position,” a volunteer for one of the candidates’ has told African Probe.

“It appears some officials are compromising the process to write results and declare their preferred candidate (BANKY W) as the winner, against the proper run of play, which is to conduct a free and fair election.

“As at this morning, Monday 6th June, the Returning Officer, Sanni Nana is still in Abuja, and Banky W is allegedly with party officials in Marriott Hotel, Ikeja instead of the venue of the Primaries at the PDP Secretariat.”

African Probe gathers that Sam Aiboni Jnr, the other contestant for the Eti – Osa Federal Constituency House of Representatives position on the platform of the PDP has been at the Venue, No 17 Murphy Adetoro Alfa Beach Road since 7am waiting for the elections to hold.

“This is therefore a clarion call on all to ensure that the right thing is done, and the primary elections are fairly conducted, as anything outside of this will be vehemently resisted.”

Speaking to the Press on the situation is Activist Rex Anighoro a renowned Civil Society leader and Activist who is a Sam Aiboni Jnr Volunteer.

Rex Anigboro has urged officials to conduct the elections, and not write the results to favour a candidate!

Russian Ministry of Défense
As part of a special military operation in biolaboratories in Ukraine, materials of American instructors were trained to train Ukrainian specialists in emergency response to smallpox outbreaks.

The Pentagon's interest in this infection is far from accidental: the return of smallpox will be a global catastrophe for all mankind. Thus, compared to COVID-19, this pathogen is just as contagious (contagious), but its mortality is 10 times higher.
Back in 2003, the US Department of Defense developed the Smallpox Vaccination Program, according to which all US servicemen must be vaccinated. Vaccination in the United States is mandatory for diplomatic and medical personnel. This indicates that the United States considers the causative agent of smallpox as a priority pathogenic biological agent for combat use, and vaccine prevention activities are aimed at protecting its own military contingents.
Lack of proper control and violation of biosafety requirements in the United States may lead to the use of this pathogen for terrorist purposes. Between 2014 and 2021, unaccounted ampoules with the virus were repeatedly detected in the laboratories of the Federal Drug Administration and the U.S. Army Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (Maryland) and the Vaccine Research Center (Pennsylvania).
The work in these organizations was in violation of World Health Assembly Resolution 49.10 of 1996, which states that smallpox can be stored in only one American laboratory, the Atlanta Infection Control and Prevention Center.
It should be noted that smallpox vaccination, which is not currently practiced in many countries, provides protection against monkeypox.
The World Health Organization has announced the convening of an emergency meeting of States parties on the outbreak of this dangerous infectious disease in May 2022.

◽️We know that currently 98% of patients are men over 20 years of non-traditional orientation. Dr. David Hermann, former head of the WHO emergency department, told the American press that the main cause of the disease was sexual transmission

According to the WHO, the West African strain of smallpox came from Nigeria, another country where the United States has deployed its biological infrastructure.

◽️According to the available information, there are at least four Washington-controlled biolabs in Nigeria.

◽️In this regard, it is necessary to recall the strange coincidence, which needs further verification by specialists. Thus, according to European and American media, in the materials of the Munich Security Conference in 2021, ie against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, the scenario of counteracting the outbreak caused by a new strain of the monkeypox virus was worked out.

Against the background of numerous cases of US violations of biosafety requirements and negligent storage of pathogenic biomaterials, we call on the World Health Organization to investigate the activities of US-funded Nigerian laboratories in Abuja, Zaria, Lagos and inform the world community about its results.

� Full text of the briefing on the results of the analysis of documents related to US military-biological activities in Ukraine.

That was not Taliban. That was a western backed Islamic alliance that culminated into Alqaeda led by Osama in Laden. remember, the new York times praised Osama as a hero in the 80s

gambojimeta:
The lost to the Taliban and Japan when they were a bigger USSR.

Russia's goals have been clear right from the beginning, straight from Putin's mouth: Demilitarisation and Denazification, and control of the Donbass. But the media like saying he aimed to take Kyiv, blablabla. Please read his opening speech on the eve of invasion again to learn about the real goals of the war:

1. Denazification: Headquarters of Azov (Mariupol) already denazified. the remaining Azov can keep chilling at Azovstal if they like while peace returns to Mariupol. Na hunger go kill them!

2. Donbass: We all know how that is going. Severodonetsk is about to fall with over 16,000 Ukrainian soldiers in a cauldron.

3. Demilitarisation: Ukraine's military is being bombarded daily to reduce their ability to wage war. I think this will be the third objective to be scaled up after the liberation of Donbass. Already, NATO equipment are being destroyed or captured before they even make it to the front. Meanwhile there is a naval blockade.

Opolopoopolonio:
Pro-Putin luuunatics are just so pathetic!

For the umpteenth time, what was Russia's objective in Ukraine To remove Zelenskyy and install a pro-Putin puppet!!! Every other operation is a means to the end.

Has this happened

Will it ever happen

Russia knows they cannot successfully occupy any part of Ukraine indefintely. The guerrilla war has started in Melitopol. That's the next phase of the resistance in those 'fallen' areas.

Russia does not control the Azovstal yet. The Ukrainian commanders are still there.

Russia does not control Kherson airport.

So far, over 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers have surrendered in Azovstal, Mariupol and more are still coming, in addition to over 1,000 at Illych steel plant. Also, over 1,500 have surrendered officially in Donbass. This makes up to at least 5,500 surrendered already and still counting but Russia is losing the war. In fact, Russia is suffering irreparable losses on a grand scale.

I had it all wrong. Ukraine is definitely winning and Russia is losing BADLY. All Russians has been able to do is capture places like Mariupol, Melitopol, Popasna, Kherson, secure a land corridor to Crimea and control territory in Donbass the size of UK, whereas Ukraine won the Eurovision.

Okay!!

Abeg, if not that we have different tribes in Nigeria, I prefer to use my Yoruba language. Have you seen the presidents of China, Russia, France addressing the world in English? The West may be rich and powerful but if you continue to tie yourself to their apron strings you will never be as rich and powerful as they are. Who cares about G7. The world is developing and the richest countries today won't be the richest forever. The current emergence of China and Brazil attest to that.

VOICEofORIENTAL:
The highest form of HYPOCRISY is to be using the Language of the west you hate & despise.

The G7 countries: US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan... China & Russia are not even among the G7.

India, South Africa, Australia, Canada these countries are product of the UK in the G20.

Name countries China & Russia colonized that are members of G20?

UAE is a totalitarian government. If US imposes democracy on them, it will be worse than Nigeria.

When a boxer in a boxing ring begins to verbally attack his opponent inside the boxing ring,then the complainant has totally & technically been knocked out.

Nairaland is like a boxing ring!.. for you to abandon the very INGREDIENTS that bounds us together in nairaland & resort to character assassination proved that the GUY you are trying so hard to denigrate,had totally knocked you out in the ring of reasoning.

Nigeria,is a product of the west.. every thing about Nigeria is of the west.. Nigerian leaders holidays in the west, hides & invests our money in the west..uses western hospitals more than our own hospitals.. their children school in the west.

However,if anyone decides to do away with the west, you first of all do away with there language...STOP USING ENGLISH LANGUAGE, YOU CANNOT BE USING WHAT YOU HATE.

Many guys, after benefiting from Western made education, hospitals & governance, would still hate them.

I stand for the west & will forever be grateful to GOD for using the west to show me HIS WAYS!.. JESUS CHRIST!!

I thank GOD China or India didn't colonized me else I would have been a hindu or Buddha worshipper,GOD forbid!

Lastly,any person who's anti west should stop using the ENGLISH LANGUAGE, let that person start using Russian, Chinese, Indian or Arabic language.

So in that same way, Russia is learning from the USA in the invasion of Ukraine. Let me ask you one question. Is it right for USA to be funding Nazis?
Please mention one commander in the Russian army from leiutenant level upwards and I will mention 3 from Ukraine who are Nazis. We are talking about a regime actively cultivating Nazism and celebrating it.

Let's compare the battle for Mariupol with the main operations to seize major cities conducted over the past thirty years.

The city of Grozny - a population of about 200,000 people (in the 90's, for obvious reasons, it was constantly fluctuating in numbers, but let's assume that there were about 200 thousand)

The first assault took place in 1995-96, during the First Chechen War. There were three other assaults by Chechen opposition forces backed by Russian troops in 1994, all three were unsuccessful and the third with heavy casualties.

Assaulted by Russia - 15,000 people

Defenders - Chechnya-Ichkeria - 7,000 to 10,000 people

The assault lasted for 75 days.

Result: success, victory of Russian troops.

Second Chechen war and the second large-scale assault of Grozny in 1999-2000.

Assaulting troops: Russia - 21,000 people

Defenders - Chechnya-Ichkeria and Islamists - 3,000 to 5,000 people

The second storming of Grozny lasted 43 days.

Result: success, victory of Russian troops

The city of Fallujah, near Baghdad, has a population of about 300,000.

The first time it was stormed in the spring of 2004, after the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Then it turned out that if you bomb the country and even disperse the army, it sometimes resists.

Assaulting: U.S. and Iraqi (collaborators) - 2,000 to 6,000

Defending: Iraqi insurgents - 2,000

The first assault lasted 27 days.

Result: failure, withdrawal of U.S. troops "under international pressure"

Second Fallujah assault - late 2004.

Assaulting: U.S., Britain and Iraq - more than 10,000 people

Defenders: Iraqi insurgents - 2,000 to 4,000 people

The second assault lasted 48 days.

Result: success, victory for Coalition forces

Third assault on Fallujah: 2016, Iraqi army reclaims territory from ISIS.

Assaulting: Iraqi army and various militias, Iranian and Lebanese spets - 11,000 to 14,000

Defenders: ISIS - about 4,000 fighters

The third assault lasted 39 days.

Result: success, victory for Iraq.

City of Mosul, capital of ISIS, 2016-2017, population - about 1,500,000 people.

Assaulting - Iraqi army with militias, Kurdish militia, air and artillery support from the U.S., England, Canada and France - 30,000 to 35,000 fighters

Defenders - ISIS, banned in the Russian Federation - 10,000 - 15,000 people

The assault lasted 267 days.

Result: success, victory for the Coalition.

The city of Aleppo, an important city for the "Syrian opposition," the capital of Idlib province. Population: 1,800,000.

It was a bit more complicated, part of the city has always been with the Syrian Army, and the fighting was about 4 years, so I'll count from the moment when the Russian Air Force got involved (which is, of course, not very correct)

The Syrian Army, the Russian Army, Iran, Hezbollah, and whoever else was there. The numbers are about 10 000 people.

The defenders - a conglomeration of Salafist groups - the number - 8,000

Since the Russian air force entered the war, the assault lasted 62 days, not counting the month-long truce. All in all, things are complicated with Aleppo.

Bottom line: success, a victory for the pro-Assad Coalition

Marawi City, Philippines - population 200,000. The city was stormed during the war with the Philippine branch of ISIS in 2017.

Assaulting - the Philippines - 6,000 people

Defending – ISIS - 1,000 people

The assault lasted 153 days.

Bottom line: success, victory for the Philippines.

And finally, Mariupol.

Population 430 000 people

Assaulting - Russia and DPR - the number is not known, something around 10 000 people

Defenders - Ukraine - the number is also not known, definitely more than 5,000 people, at the beginning it was stated about 14,000, but that doesn’t seem correct either.

The assault has lasted for 88 days, if we count from March 1 and is nearing completion.

The outcome has long been clear.

Of course, all these comparisons are very tentative. Mariupol's panel buildings, Grozny's five-story buildings, narrow Arab streets and Filipino slums - each city is a different environment, dictating its own rules of war.

Moreover, the storming of Mariupol is unique in many ways.

First, unlike all of the aforementioned urban battles, two regular European armies, which are on the same technical level and are more or less equal in combat training, fought here. Both Russians and Ukrainians had tanks and powerful artillery, a huge number of various weapons.

Second, the attacking side here was extremely varied: of course, the main fist of the assault was the elite units of the Russian Armed Forces and DPR People’s Militia, but many of those involved in the battle were not military, but police. Moreover, part of the DPR army consisted of mobilized reservists wearing old Soviet helmets and with amusing Mosin-Nagant rifles instead of normal Kalashnikovs. It should not be forgotten that part of the Russian army is made up of Chechens, many of whom simply do not speak Russian well. The Ukrainians, on the other hand, were much more monolithic.

Third, aviation was used on a very limited scale and strategic bombers were "unpacked" only in the last weeks of fighting.

Fourth, despite assurances from Ukrainian politicians that Mariupol is “patriotic”, the residents have no love for Ukraine and, in particular, the Ukrainian army and, in particular, the Azov regiment and consider Russian and DPR soldiers their own. Although, of course, there is a “patriotic” minority in Mariupol. But, on the whole, for Ukrainians it was an enemy city.

Fifth - the position of the city. Mariupol quickly found itself cut off from Ukrainian supply lines and caught in a blockade. In addition, it is a port, and the Russian Navy has superiority in the Black Sea, which greatly facilitated the blockade of the city. But it must be said that due to the small number of attackers, the blockade was very "leaky" - helicopters flew through it with supplies for the defenders.

Finally, and most importantly, there was no numerical advantage for the Russian and DPR forces. Moreover, the forces of the parties were approximately equal, and at the beginning of the operation the Ukrainians even outnumbered them.

But taking all this into account, it turns out that the battle for Mariupol was one of the most successful urban operations of the past 30 years. For the Ukrainian command to surrender Mariupol is a disgrace. The Ukrainian fighters held out to the last man and surrendered only when there was no way out, the blame for the fall of Mariupol rests entirely on the shoulders of the military leadership. For the Russians, Mariupol was a heroic feat. Without numerical superiority and air power, it took just three months to defeat the enemy's elite units in a dense, multi-story post-Soviet urban area. The soldiers are heroes, the command - well done. And no propaganda howl can drown that out.

Britain did not colonise America, Australia, and Canada. They simply replaced the population there and made the place their new home. This is similar to what the Fulani from North Africa are trying to do in Nigeria.

Imagine, after full replacement and land grabbing from neighbours like Mexico, they came to Africa to take our forefathers as slave to help them build their new countries. Then they kicked their British fathers out but they are all still bound by blood. Bloody Anglo-Saxons. They polluted the world to develop then started talking about climate change to stop new countries trying to develop with cheap energy. Their past will catch up to them one day.

we are talking about a particular symbol being worn by a group of people being funded and armed by the United states, you started pulling out a ton of photos from white supremacists. We know there are white racist rednecks everywhere and they go by different names but there is a particular group in a country being actively funded, trained and weaponised by the United States, a democratic country fighting authoritarianism.
