"Syrian Democratic Forces" Is not a terrorist organization, they don't attack civilians nor kidnap or kill women and children like your beloved Hamas.

Take your dictionary and look up the word "terrorist" and see if hamas won't fit the description.

This is a new day, I don't have time for any useless back and forth.

Shalom

Given your track record, this is probably a waste of time but, SDF is YPG, which is PKK, the group designated a terrorist group

A group known for carrying out suicide bombings against civilian targets

Allthelight:
If you follow my post u will understand I don't hate anybody.

I don't call for the death of Russians, Ukrainians, Palestinian, Israelis.
What I know is the Palestinians are not serious people.

You ask the world to declare you a state but your borders are not known

Internationally recognised 1967 borders

Allthelight:
See any attack on Israelis is not in the best interest of anybody.

Israel is armed to the teeth forget about what vic2023, v3ly post here..

The u.s can't force them to do anything.. I have known this for years, most countries cutting ties with Israel still do serious business with Israel (Turkey).


The resistance Hamas and Hezbollah are doing will not do much.. because the Israeli are well armed

Different US Presidents have exercised leverage over israel to make them comply with their demands

Who arms the israelis? Or are they completely self armed? Who are their patrons?

Hamas and Hezbollah know israel more than you do, they exist in the same space as them

Let's see if the israelis will choose to act in the same manner as they did in Amsterdam, then we'll know if putting them in their place is worth it or not

Allthelight:
I wonder when they notice northern Gaza is almost gone.... Each year a Palestinian state becomes impossible

All of a sudden now you care for Palestine?

Allthelight:
Guy does attacking them stops the war ?

Are the attackers now the law enforcers in that place ?

Well lets see how this solve the crises when Israel is building more corridors in northern Gaza..

No one attacked them, their actions were responded to

The law enforcers are dealing with the aftermath...they actively courted trouble and trouble came (1+1=2)

As for Northern Gaza, the israelis are land thieves trying to do what they do best, steal more land

The point is, if zionists behave, they'll be safe, but if they misbehave, they'll not leave unscathed

Allthelight:
Attacking them abroad even does the job of the Israeli government because they want to proof only Israel is safe for them...

So we see palestinians doing the job for Israel.

Your reasoning ability is astonishing, that's why you operate on your own wavelength

It's simple, israelis shouldn't go to other countries and be causing trouble, so they don't get attacked

It's really that simple...and the world sees the truth now, the victimhood doesn't sell anymore

I don't need em likes and shares.
Have you ever seen anybody making the right moves and who is actually solving the problem get accolades? No, it is only at the end that people later reason with em. It is the noise makers that get the accolades until the people realize he is just an empty head.

Back to your article.
In the absence of an official document, every article is an opinion of the writer. Thus, if you say par 3 is just the opinion of the writer, then par 2 is what?
By the way, I asked you for an official document in the earlier reply not what Trump said.

https://2001-2009.state.gov/s/ct/rls/wh/6947.htm

Download PDF file of WHAT WE NEED TO LEARN: Lessons from Twenty Years of Afghanistan Reconstruction by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction(SIGAR)...you'll find some of what I wrote in there

Gbadebo19:
You think am not gonna read it?
A quick run through of both articles.
Article 1 is a total gibberish that doesn't in any way contain or support any of the objectives you listed. It is only about the withdrawal of troops and its replacement with private military contractors. Issues like this are not new in global politics. President Jonathan also hired south African private military contractors to fight Boko Haram (Can't remember it's name right now but just search Aljazeera, you find it) whose contract was cancelled by Buhari. The only article that talks about it is the second article.
After reading it, I am able to see your dishonesty and craftiness. The second part of the article is the one that lists the objectives you stated above, unfortunately, everything you stated was debunked by the third paragraph titled "The Real Objectives" which included dispossessing the only Muslim country with nuclear capabilities of its nuclear power which is Pakistan. This in itself is subject to scrutiny.
So, I want to ask, what again is your source? I am not the people who will give you likes and shares without a careful perusal of the gibberish you posted. Your so called objectives, stated in part 2 of the second article was debunked by part 3 of the same article.
Try again nigger!!!!

Don't try to be disingenuous

First of all, PMC's were in Afghanistan since the beginning and at each time they substantially outnumbered US forces. This is an incontrovertible fact

Secondly, the REAL(inferred) objectives as stated in the write up are three:
1. Geo-strategic interests, controlling the Afghan corridor (which I mentioned)
2. Exploiting of Afghan mineral resources to be used to 'rebuild' Afghanistan. Once again I made reference to this when I made mention of "securing contracts to rebuild Afghanistan"
3. Which is the only one you mentioned, controlling Pakistan's nukes

Thirdly, the third paragraph didn't 'debunk' it, the analyst simply gave his own insight into the US' hidden motives in his view

Now please show me which of the objectives, stated(official) or inferred(hidden), the US achieved in Afghanistan. I am waiting...if you can't point to at least one, then you must admit or acknowledge that they failed

Gbadebo, if you make good points, I guarantee you will get likes and shares. Just make good points

Gbadebo19:
I don't see any reason why you should be quoting me anymore on this thread.
By the way, can we see any official document that states the objectives you have listed above?
Always wanting your own Trust me bro sources to be the deciding factor.

Honestly, I don't rate you and can never do. I really don't think you understand simple A to Z.
When they say 2500 plus soldiers died in Afghanistan, it excludes those who were wounded, treated and later died. It excludes those who lost a limb and later died.
By the way, was it only in Afghanistan that US troops were engaged? US has bases all over the world. I don't know how you arrived at 600,000 and your sources but you could have done better by telling us the figures from the several theatres of operations the US was engaged in.

Objectives of the US invasion of Afghanistan:

1. Overthrow the Taliban
2. Install liberal democracy
3. Ensure the emergence of a western friendly government
4.Build an army capable of protecting the American project
5. Secure US contracts to 'rebuild' Afghanistan
6. Defeat the Taliban and ensure they are no longer a threat
7. Secure the Afghan corridor, for geo-strategic interests

Outcome after 20 years:
1. Taliban back in power
2. Afghan army conclusively defeated
3. Taliban more battle hardened and more equipped than ever before thanks to abandoned US hardware
4. Taliban becoming the sole authority in Afghanistan
5. The steady erasure of the US project in Afghanistan
6. The strengthening of ties with China, which has enabled China's inroad into the country

Define defeat again

About the low casualties claim, apart from the minimisation of the casualties, hope you're aware that PMC combatants were three times the number of US forces in Afghanistan. Most of the fighting was done by mercenaries and they suffered most of the casualties

You guys on the other side need new backup because time and time again, you fall way short

Na Ibime start all this nonsense for this thread.

He has nothing meaningful to contribute except bragging.

Your net worth no really concern anybody. Who Ibime dey feed for this thread?? NOBODY!

No be today it start, this fight don happen with am before

Make we just dey maintain small

People take this anonymity for granted

Someone who could literally assist in changing your life can stumble upon your posts and be put off, or be given a false impression

This is not directed at anyone here, but I'd like to think that most people here are mature, based on the subject matter of the thread and the contributions made. It follows that humility should be a cherished value here

One thing I've long noticed on this forum is that most active users claim to be well off and of a high status, while that may be true for some, there's definitely a lot of pretending and exaggerating. After all, most Nigerians are struggling right now

Make we do am small small, there's nothing to prove to anyone, you could ignorantly rain insults on the connection you've been desperately praying to God about, while bragging on an empty stomach as a means of expressing frustration

As for me, I'm a nobody, I'm just a struggling Nigerian and many here are richer than me

To each his own sha, just my thoughts

It's clear neither Iran nor israel want a confrontation

Iran struck harder because they had to, seeing that they had lost IRGC commanders, Ismail Haniyeh in Iran and Hassan Nasrallah to israeli attacks

israel's latest 'attack' is just a face saving action, intended to project power, but not enough to compel an Iranian reaction

Either way, I doubt we'll be seeing direct attacks by one against the other anymore, it'll likely transmorph to low level sabotage missions

FoolishBoy419:
That's not a big deal. Both Hamas and Hezbollah are militias who don't claim to be sophisticated or invinsible or Chosen people. They don't get billions of dollars per year.

As for Israel, this is yet another humiliation for her. This is a country that some brain-dead clowns are comparing with capable and self-reliant countries like Turkey, Iran, India, and even Russia. If billions of free dollars in arms and finance cannot guarantee them a decisive victory against Hamas, how then can they face countries with well-funded armies?

Iran woke up one day, brushed their teeth, and decided to attack Israel. They did it successfully and dared Israel to respond but since then, the chosen pigs have been waiting for Western arms shipments, battleships preseence, and THAAD systems. 2024 is the year Israel got demystified, and more disgrace awaits them on and off the battlefield.

That guy is hasbara, not worth the effort

🇹🇷🇮🇱⚡- Yair Netanyahu, son of Benjamin Netanyahu, calls Turkish strikes on Kurdish positions a "genocide".

This idf reservist is balling while lesser zionists are called up and wasted...why won't netanyahu be 'stubborn' and insist on continuing?

WrriterNg:
Democracy and Freedom in Action 😂 🤣

The pretense of democracy and freedom only holds up so long as they feel secure in their nirvana, as soon as the curtain starts to be lifted and the illusion lessens, they support repression and authoritarianism, which is their actual reality

Some facts about the extent of Western support for israel:

1. Over 6,000 military flights in a year, including hundreds of transport missions

2. Israel only flew 20% of the 1600 reconnaissance flights recorded and the UK accounts for nearly half, using it's Shadow R1 surveillance aircraft

3. The UK sent israel targeting data amassed during 645 of such flights

4. More than 1200 military cargo flights to Israel in one year

5. Several bases in Europe were used, with hundreds of flights each from the UK, Germany, Italy, Cyprus and Greece

This is just some of the data and all this was mostly to fight Hamas and recently Hezbollah

The country is nothing but a western satellite state

Something is very clear on this thread, as clear as day

The intellectual posts are mostly from Pro-Russia and Pro-Resistance folks, those who are usually on the other side have extremely shallow takes on things

There's a wide gulf between the posts of both and it's quite glaring

Nigeria has been ranked among the worst-governed countries in Africa, according to the 2024 Ibrahim Index of African Governance (IIAG).

The report, published by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, revealed that Nigeria slipped three places, now ranking 33rd out of 54 African nations.

This marks a concerning deterioration in governance over the past decade, making Nigeria one of the 11 African countries with the worst governance decline since 2014.

The IIAG, which has been published since 2007, provides a comprehensive assessment of governance across the African continent.

It evaluates countries based on various metrics, including security, rule of law, economic opportunities, human development, and participation in democratic processes.

The data is collected from 49 independent sources to gauge how well African countries have managed governance over the years.

In Nigeria’s case, the 2024 report highlighted significant governance failures. The country scored poorly on key indicators, such as security and rule of law (39%), accountability and transparency (47.3%), and anti-corruption efforts, where it received a particularly low score of 28.9%.

The report also revealed that Nigeria’s performance on social protection, inclusion, equality, and infrastructure remained low, contributing to its poor governance rating.

Moreover, the report shows that the governance crisis in Africa is part of a continental trend, as security challenges and shrinking democratic spaces have hampered progress

Mo Ibrahim, the foundation’s chair, stated that the governance backslide in countries like Nigeria threatens the economic and social development gains made in recent years.

He noted that while the challenges are global, they are especially problematic for Africa, where long-standing developmental issues are exacerbated by these governance failures.

Despite the worrying trends, the report did highlight success stories across the continent. Countries such as Seychelles, Gambia, and Sierra Leone showed improvement in governance.

Seychelles, for instance, overtook Mauritius as the best-governed African nation, showcasing that progress is possible even amid broader continental challenges.

In contrast, Nigeria finds itself grouped with countries like Sudan, Mozambique, and Senegal, all of which experienced significant governance deterioration in the last decade.

⚡The US Secretary of Defence has confirmed that the US has seen evidence that North Korean troops have gone to Russia.

The first official US confirmation.

I don't know what all the noise is about, the US usually invades countries along with NATO or NATO allied countries

Russia now has a defense pact with DPRK and this is the first glimpse of it

Jovi10:
For anyone to even believe Hamas has the time to rape people shows how dumb he is. How long did hands spend in Israel territory before returning to Gaza with hostages. Stop wasting your time with this guy's. The same people said Hamas beheaded babies, till date there's no confirmation of that. Just ignore these guys for your own sanity. They will support their masters regardless is what they do there's no shred of humanity left in them.

That was my last response

FoolishBoy419:
That's when you get when ignorance pairs with arrogance. The arrogance perpetually keeps him ignorant and shameless.

Obedience40:
This will be my last take, go read up the manifestos when the group was created, the group was created to sabotage government facilities, and not to cause civilians casualties, the group only became more belligerent when Nelson was in prison.

90% of Hamas casualties are military personnel, 🤣🤣🤣, so Hamas as a terror group is allowed to kill just 10% of civilians abi??

The IDF do not go with the intention of killing civilians,
Hamas on the other hand deliberately attack civilians

Yes but they just so happen to routinely mass murder them

FoolishBoy419:
He doesn't ever bother making quick research before dropping bold, dumb claims on this page.

Worse still, despite the glaring evidence, he still insists on it

Obedience40:
Why is Hamas attacking Jewish civilians??

The hundreds of Jewish civilians killed by Hamas are what now??


Nelson Mandela was for non violent struggle and I stand by that.

Yes the leader of an armed guerilla fighting paramilitary group was a pacifist...that makes sense

More than 90% of Hamas casualties are military personnel and even some of the so called civilians are armed settlers who routinely kill or shoot at Palestinians

Your so called outrage at Hamas is laughable, considering that you believe all Palestinians murdered by israel are human shields

Rest abeg

FoolishBoy419:
It's so annoying. Left to that guy, even his forefathers that fought the British invaders here were terrorists.

He's here to carry out a job, not to debate the truth

Obedience40:
Comprehension seems to be the prevailing issue here,
The basis of this whole agurement is if Hamas is a terrorist group or not, and the bone of contention was hamas were killing and kidnapping civilians, yet wasn't a terror group emphasise on CIVILIANS??


Like I pointed out before, there's no point did Mandela incite violence against civilians, All his anger was against the apartheid Government, not the white South Africans.

Go read up the manifestos of the group when flag off under Nelson, the group main role was to sabotage government facilities, and in the manifestos the groups stated they were only attacking hard targets

The group will later derail after the imprisonment of Nelson and started attacking civilians

DID NELSON MANDELA AT ANY TIME APPROVED THE KILLINGS AND KIDNAPPING OF CIVILIANS LIKE SINWAR??

Hamas' fight is against the oppressive and Zionist State of israel and not against all Jews like it's founder Ahmad Yassin stated

You went from claiming Mandela was for non-violent struggle, to now saying something else...but apparently the problem is lack of comprehension on our part and not your rigmarole

Obedience40:
You are just as your moniker indicate a f...lish boy
Mandela was the leader of the party whose youth wing were committing hideous crimes against the government, attacking civilians. Thus he was tag a terrorist.

Everyone knows the ideology of the "person" Nelson Mandela, everyone knows who Nelson his and what he stands for not as the leader of a party whose youth wing were committing terror acts, but as a man of peace and honour, He was outspoken had good oratory skills, yet you won't find one speech of his inciting people to violence, he was committed to the Gandhi principles of non-violence struggle till the very end of his work to freedom.

You clowns putting sinwar a terrorist, a child killer, a mass murderer In the same sentence with Nelson shows how f.. lishly you clowns are. Yall must be suffering from brain disease.

Olodo

Mandela founded Umkhonto we sizwe, the paramilitary arm of the ANC, which engaged in guerilla warfare against the apartheid Government

Despite his incarceration, Mandela refused to denounce the violence of the ANC

The way many of you, confident in your ignorance, turn history on its head is alarming
