You still are missing the point, there are ways he could have done it, not saying it's easy, no, it's not, when navigating dangerous waters, you watch how you maneuver, now that he's no longer with his troops, how does that benefit those soldiers now? Now that they need him the most. As you can see, it's their loss, because his replacement could care less and lead from behind instead of being at the front of battle.
Trained military men, especially high ranking ones need to put their emotion in check, that's highly important, he could have address this in a more proper way without making the military look bad and then losing his command, in which case those troops whose trust he has earned now no longer have him to look out for them.
Now imagine if we took the kind of casualty the US took in vietnam, i guess every soldier would be making videos and walking away from the job, but that's where leadership comes in, keep your troops calm, clear your head and figure out a way out of your predicament.

OF COURSE, I BE ARMCHAIR GENERAL.... let me say it before someone call me out on this grin grin.. But i truly feel their pain, same reason why i don't watch those videos, can't bare seeing our soldiers dead, it hurts..
Just rendering my own layman opinion.. Don't kill me

My primary concern from an African stand point is Algeria. The US does not dump it's allies (client state).

The Russians apart from Assad have the most to lose in Syria.

In a theoretical war between Algeria and Morocco, the Americans would not leave Morocco hanging out in the cold.

Giving recent engagements in Syria, can Algeria depend on Russia when the going gets really tough?

Algerian1, what are your thoughts on this.
truth be told ,with events playing out in Syria Russia can't be judged a dependable ally.

Story shared on Twitter by @the_onismate

I was talking with a friend few days back and he said anytime I'm ready to get married, I shouldn't marry any woman from a very rich family with so much attachment to her family. I asked why, he began narrating his wedding journey ordeal.
He's about to wed his woman. He only has N4m but intends spending N150 (court wedding and then feeding the 50 guests they are inviting. Then use N2m for honeymoon in Dubai. But bride no gree. She wants a big wedding.

Upcoming wife said either a big wedding or nothing. And her estimate for the big wedding is N5m.
Upcoming wife said if my guy can't bring out money for the big wedding, she would meet her dad for support. Well, she came from a rich family, her dad will be willing to roll out the cash. But my guy has refused. It would be a crash and dent on his image for upcomingwife to request money from her dad for their wedding.
Few closed family & friends had asked him to yield to up-coming wife's demands for her dad to sponsor the wedding. But my guy said from inception of the relationship, any slightest challenges, she always runs to her dad for solutions and he doesn't like it. He wants to start limiting her going to her parents to seek for solutions to every problems they have.

The girls parents are willing to foot wedding bills just to give their daughter her dream wedding. My guy has refused. Wedding preparations is on hold. My guy no gree, upcoming wife and her rich family no gree.

Iran has very good defensive capabilities, in offense how much offensive equipment can they actually buy? They'll need to invest billions if dollars over a large number of years to have any decent offensive capability.

There are no equipments waiting for them to just purchase off the shelf.

They can defend themselves very well, but it would be very tough against the US.

Good defensive capacities?

It would be wise for Iran to avoid a direct confrontation on US forces. America has the means and has shown the country is willing to attack Iran.

This current escalation was caused by Iran. Iranian militia forces attacked American troops and killed a US private military contractor, America responded by bombing Iranian militia HQ in Iraq and Syria. Militia groups mobilized and attacked the US embassy in Iraq, America responded by killing Solemani.

We need to be on high alert in Nigeria.

DSS needs to be alert, it's not by invading Sowore in court.

I bet you Buhari will open the boarder before end of January without anyone begging him yet is too late. This is not easy as case between Nigerian and chad that make him to destroy Shehu Shagari regime. he don't know how to settle boarder issue and he lost again in this case.
buhari would not open the border in the 1st quarter 2020,what ever the French might be trying is invalid ,ECOWAS is dependent on Nigeria and not vice verse.

I see how people applaud you because sometimes idiots are the majorities and the nations suffer when they the idiots elect a president. Don’t you know that the only thing Nigerian have as advantage over this people has been strip off?
First Benin stop taken Light from Nigeria and generate 40MW which is even access for the entire nation plus another 2000MW green energy project going on there by German company through France.
Togo is not importing anything from Nigerian including light except crude.
Niger Republic is building dam to generate electricity that will be enough for them and also export to Benin, Togo and Bukinafaso if needs arise and France is behind it.
They only import crude oil from Nigeria on credit and Nigeria cannot stop selling to them on credit because we need cash to steal and save in abroad bank than managing what we have for betterments of Nigerians.
Now Ecobank serve as Ecowas bank and finance by Nigeria and with that Nigeria take largest share in anything Ecowas is doing both profit and lost, but as France will take over monetary sponsor of Ecowas through Eco by Eco central bank in Senegal by central bank of Senegal what will be Ecobank hope for West Africa?
Now Nigerian fail to secure it’s boarder and putting the blame to its neighbors countries and even forcing them to use their security system to help useless giant to secure her boarders.
Nigeria forgets that whatever they do to their frencecofon countries is equerry doing to France. When I saw Buhari boosting that he don’t have date to open the boarder I laugh because I know it will come to this. You’re forcing a country that report to France which is part of decision making in UN to bow to you, impossible.
I know that France will find a way to weak Nigeria economy and help his colonial people and this is beginning watch out if Buhari will not open the boarder before January 15 if only he saw what is about to happens to his economy. Even if he open the boarder is already late because some business agreements has already seal with other Ecowas countries including Ghana before accepting France offer, and part of the agreements is to save them from area they need Nigeria.
We brag for nothing, do you know why Frenc cofon Nation’s still use CAF because Franc manage 50% of their foreign reserve for them and is not easy to let go. Nigeria only hope to manipulate Ecowas state when they start managing eco for them and it has been an issue with Senegal for year which France was behind all that.
I predict that they will get Ghana and it happens, other country will soon join and by the time France secure crude supply agreement with either Russia or Oman to stable supply crude to Ecowas countries that use Eco, is will remain only Nigeria and Gambia, and this two nation will be suspend from Ecowas with one allegation or the other and Gambia will succumb and join them then they will suspend Nigeria indefinably. Boasting that without Nigeria no Ecowas is like Boosting that without all tribe belong to Nigeria that the tribes are dead. Divide Nigeria and see how comfortable people will live.

Mind you Ecowas Bank will be in Senegal as France has concluded all the plan and the printing will be in France as CFA even if Nigerian join they are just there as others not as mighty for nothing.

Now that Ghana has join count anything that Nigeria and Ghana have off because soon Ghana decision making will be France sorry this is beginning of Nigeria down fall because the wicked close boarder to punish himself.
Don’t hope that Nigeria can succeed without her neighbors may be we think we can be as Britain if they eventually out from European union but that will be capital joke for Nigeria to stand alone.
where did you think Benin republic $450+mln rice import ended?
there is no ECOWAS without Nigeria, 57% of operational funds is from Nigeria.

Nothing is new , this is just implementation of the blue prints...Nigeria just keeps embarrassing itself with unqualified reps and foreign diplomats, everything as become by connection, no merit...

Supercruise. - just fair

NetCentric warfare ability - very poor

AESA radar - fair but reliability issues

IRST - fair

MAWS/other protective systems - poor

Russia is only scamming other countries with fake 5th Gen platforms.

Their real answer to the opposition is hypersonic strike aircraft. This is where they would be throwing their money because they are leading the tech although US railgun technology will destroy everyone of those aircraft when they are fielded.

Read my post mindfully. I am not saying they should not buy because a prototype crashed. I am saying they should not buy because the aircraft is still under development as gar as I am concerned.
Algeria should be asking itself how many SU57s have been deployed by Russia itself?. Also what particular threat gap are they trying to close with this acquisition. If it is unstable Libya, then a new air superiority fighter is of no use. If it is the high capabilities acquired by Morocco and Tunisia, then more upgraded versions of SUs and MIGs are the answer.

The F35s is a fully developed aircraft program already in service with more than ten air forces and the two crashes experienced on the aircraft are so well researched as to be almost expected.
Almost every airforce using F35s now knows the locations on the airframe and frequency of inspection to predict the cracks that cause the failures leading to the crashes . That's the difference a well matured development of an aircraft brings
Su-57 is unproven, has the F-22 or F-35 proven themselves? Very piece of military hardware is built based on a particular doctrine. From the J-39NG to the J20 Su-57 F-22 to F-35 are all unproven platforms. Each Craft is unique in its own way.

This is not final prototype version for JF17 Block 3. AESA radar is coming, IRST is coming, capability for 100km+ PL 15 missile is coming. I like that there is no pretension to stealth capability but there will be some radar absorbing paint and radar jamming gear. The only stealth technology working is American. Any other claim is a scam.


As for Block 2 we should by 1 squadron and inflight refuelling aircraft.
In order to compensate for JF17 Block 2 inadequacies, we should buy cheap AEW/mini AWACS system and practice frequently to develop capability for air operations aerial control, radar jamming and beam riding long range missile launching.

I support just 3 pieces of MIG 35 kept at 100% operational availability by 2023 expanded to half a squadron by 2025.

And yes, lots of helicopters. 50 pieces at least of the latest MI 35M.
so funny stealth is just an over rated features of an object.
Don't let Hollywood fool you,there are many aspects to stealth technology and its applications how I chose to apply me is left to me.

Religion / Re: Is It A Sin For Married Couples To Use Condoms? by giles14(m): 1:38pm On Dec 22, 2019
jesusjnr:
IS IT A SIN FOR MARRIED COUPLES TO USE CONDOMS?


This post is an offshoot of a recent thread titled, "Are we truly safe when we commit sin with condoms?"

https://www.nairaland.com/5582353/truly-safe-when-commit-sin

That thread was primarily intended to use the Truth of Jesus Words to disprove the idea being sold by the world in the name of "safe sex", that someone who commits a sexual sin, let's say, adultery, using a condom could yet be truly safe.

But then a someone with the moniker @Prettyjanet1 pops up with this interesting question:



So that's obviously where I got the thread title from, and this was my answer to the question:



So married couples using condoms was not considered a sin to me then, and that corroborated my position on the Op of that thread that I wasn't against the use of condoms because I didn't believe that it was a bad thing.

But then came someone else with the moniker @Godsonjolly with the following question:



This was my response:



Then he said:



But his comment seemed to make some sense to me, hence my response:

Therefore his comment agreed with my inclination on the use of condoms amongst married couples, because I believe that God should have the last say on the amount of kids a couple should have, even though at the time I didn't consider it to be a sin if they did so.

However the difference in this case was that I somehow just found it hard to include the part that "it was not a sin to me" in the final post of my conversation with him, as I did in my response to the first question, even though I had initially typed it. So I just had to chop that part off before posting, because at that point, it just felt quite uncomfortable to include it, as it just didn't seem right.

So it seemed my initial position about married couples using condoms during sex not being a sin had began to experience a bit of a wobble.

And to add to that uncertainty, there was a development I had noticed after making that thread, and it was the word "condom" suddenly beginning to feature in my tongues. But I felt very uncomfortable with that for obvious reasons, even though I had just done a thread that had something to do with that, as I had expected to move on from that since I had accomplished what I intended with that thread. So the last thing I was expecting was for it to start showing up in my tongues.

But it was later when I began to say "condom na sirin" repeatedly in tongues, that the picture began to become clearer of what the message appeared to be, as it sounded like "condom na sin" in pidgin English.

I began to have the feeling that perhaps the Holy Spirit wasn't pleased with the impression I had given about the use of condoms on the Op of that thread, where I said that I wasn't against the use of condoms and didn't believe that it was a bad thing, so that i would correct it.

But it was when I came back to the thread and saw where I had categorically responded to @Prettyjanet1's question, and said that use of condoms by married couples wasn't a sin, and had followed my responses up til the final response I gave on that same matter, where I was no longer comfortable to say it was a sin as i had done initially, that it became much clearer to me what actually happened then, and what that had to do with my spoken tongues about condoms.

So I believe the message of the Spirit of God is that it is a sin in God's sight for marriage couples to use condoms, just as that brother @Godsonjolly had insinuated, to correct my initial response that it wasn't a sin.

And though I don't think it's a sin that could lead married couples to hell, I believe that God is not happy when married couples use condoms during sex, as it usurps Him of His right as the One who determines giving kids or not in a marriage.

This may have been one of the things that displeased God concerning Onan that made Him slay him as was suggested by @Godsonjolly, for in the Bible days there were no condoms, so child bearing among married couples was solely God's prerogative, therefore Onan may have also dishonored God by what he did.

This is not intended to frighten or judge married couples, however I believe that especially for christians, it's best to follow the examples given in the Bible where childbearing in marriage was usually attributed to God, and the amount of children was determined by Him, so that condoms would not take God's place in determining how many kids they have.

That would obviously require married couples completely trusting God concerning childbearing, but i believe the marriages of those do so surely shall surely reap the rewards of them placing such extent of trust in God, because God alone best knows how many children a married couple should have.

God bless.
Gen 38:9 and so on ,is for people who plan on cheating and deceiving God.
Even in the act of apostles a man and his wife tried to cheat and deceive God similar faith awaits them.

His spilling of his semen on the floor was not the sin but deceiving God.

Condom outside of matrimonial union is a sin.
