smh. kids these days.�

charliboy654:

Irrespective of the fact that those artifacts are being appreciated over there, I believe the British should pay us rent for them. They make huge amount from those artifacts yearly. I believe a certain percent of the money they make should be given to us.

bruh, all is fair in love and war. they don't have an obligation to give us anything. what we ought to do is make maximum utility of the artifacts in our possession e.g. ife art, Nok art, terracotta art etc. and make something for ourselves. but we clearly aren't ready to do that.

martineverest:
have u asked urself how many whites that wud AV been to Benin to see this if they were in Benin.?...those artefact were in obas palace for over 400 yrs before British stole them

we are not lacking in artifacts as it is currently. seriously, we have tons of them. but the fact is we haven't done a good job of "marketing our products".
it's all about packaging.

samuk:


This your logic caught my attention. Just imagine what Benin will have to pay back to Lagos, Ekitis, Owo, Akure, Delta State, Onitsha, Abia State, Anambra up to Ida, Kogi and Benue State, Ikwere in Rivers and part of Cross Rivers that they once subjugated and collected levies from.

thank you for making sense.

war bounties isn't the same as thievery. war is a game where the winner takes all. that's the way the world has and will continue to work.

besides, those artifacts are being appreciated over there. what exactly have we done with the artifacts that we have with us?
can we even boast of a single world class museum?
some of the comments here honestly remind me of the biblical parable of the three servants. we can't even manage the "talent" given to us yet we want more.
smh.

SouthEastFacts:

You are still a kid in Int'l politics. Isreal is USA number 1 ally. Turkey is strategic, but not as strategic as Isreal.

Mossad can not be over estimated. The world is under rating them. They didn't climb number 1 position by propaganda.

Iran intentionally stored that document in an abandoned warehouse to disguise it. The warehouse was guarded. It is located about 30 minutes drive from Iranian military post, I think their defence headquarters. Iran needed to safeguard it, if not they would have burnt it.

Give credit to Mossad joor.

During Buhari's first stint when his government launched a global manhunt for Dikko. Our secret service couldn't locate him but Mossad was hired to do so.

Mossad located him, packaged him for transport but our secret service couldn't even handle a simple assignment.

It was when they were transporting the package in a diplomatic bag that the operation got busted.

Buhari, a serving military Head of State recruited Mossad, Jonathan did the same.

So Mossad is never over estimated.

Look at the mess Russia did at UK with nerve gas. Look at how long it took USA to reacquire just 3 Americans held captive by NK.

Then read Operation Wrath of God and Operation Entebbe.

When NATO was still considering whether to strike Syria, IDF carried out a unilateral attack on Syria and still coordinated the NATO strike.

Less than 24 hrs Trump cancelled the Iranian deal, IDF carried out airstrike against Iran. When Iran responded, IDF destroyed Iranian military capabilities at Syria.

Syria responded by attacking Golan height, an occupied Syrian territory and Isreal shot down the freaking rockets. They should have attacked core Isreali territory if they are not afraid instead of attacking their own land.

*sigh* not in the mood to type long posts. I ll make this short.

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Turkey-a-country-of-geostrategic-importance

the u.s. will rather try settling any dispute diplomatically than take sides coz they know turkey partnering with Russia would be a major blow to NATO.


*sigh* over estimating mossad. i wont say must. just that if you think mossad can rescue prisoners from NK, then you must be on some good weed.

SouthEastFacts:

USA is NATO and Isreal is USA. Hence, Isreal is NATO (de facto).

It is not a match. There shouldn't be doubt here. They possess the highest infiltration capability and turn agents into double agents in split seconds. They pull over 100 k classified Iranian documents and transported that through road. You know how heavy a bundle of A4 paper is. 1 bundle contains 500 sheets, so Isreal pulled over 200 bundles of those papers. Drove them through Iran without being detected.

Before Endorgan will declare war, his security detail will be swapped for a Mossad agent.

first off, the u.s. won't necessarily take sides in a conflict between Isreal and turkey. If you think that, then you don't understand the strategic importance of turkey.
secondly, you are greatly over estimating mossad's capabilities. they are good but not nearly as good as you think.
the IRANIAN documents were stored in an abandoned warehouse and left unguarded. not to mention after the nuclear agreement, iran didn't exactly need to safe guard them in the first place.

SouthEastFacts:

Isreal is nuclear armed, Turkey isn't. Isreal has a robust defence industry, Turkey doesn't. Isreal has a strong ally, Turkey doesn't. Isreali military has more war experience than Turkey. Isreali Mossad and covert services are light years ahead of Turkish. So what are you even saying. Leave some foolish ranking.

bruh...
1) turkey has NATO nukes within its territory. while it doesn't have its own nukes, it would be suicide to launch nuke at a NATO ally
2) Turkey also has a good military industry. though arguably not on par with Isreal but enough to be regarded as one of the most powerful militaries in the middle east
3) Turkey is a NATO member. nuff said.
4) da fuq are you talking about? in terms of actual war and combat experience only a handful of countries come close to turkey. they ve been actively fighting kurdish rebels for decades. (and I don't mean the occasional bombing raids that Isreal calls "fighting"
5) not sure about turkey's intelligence service. doubt it's a match for MOSSAD though.

took the time to watch the video cause I was expecting something to pique my intellectual curiosity.
sadly, all I got for my trouble was a load of context ignoring crap.

Every single state that participated in the civil war secession are currently republican stronghold states.
Arkansas is currently considered one of the "reddest" states in the u.s. because it's next to impossible for Democrats to win there.
Fact is there was a defection of sourthern democrats (i.e. the racists the video pointed out) and guess which party they defected to?
https://medium.com/everyvote/how-the-republicans-and-democrats-switched-on-civil-rights-in-5-racist-steps-92c1b41480b

even LBJ in signing the civil rights act acknowledged that the Democrats had probably just lost the south for a generation.

Fact is most of the modern civil right laws were advanced by democratic administrations (JFK and LBJ come to mind).
Even Martin Luther King Jr acknowledged that

https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/statement-john-f-kennedy-assassination

Fact is the Democrats of then have become the Republicans of now and vice versa.

How many republican legislators are black/asian/Hispanic compared to democrats?

who produced the first black u.s. president?
or the first female presidential nominee?

in fact, I dare anyone to mention any current non-white republican with any actual political influence in the party. I ll wait.

Also on the "victim" issue.

Acknowledging a problem does not equate to victimization or "looking down" on a person.

EastGold:
Clear conscience fears no accusations

obviously hasn't been set up before

my biggest problem with the decision to move the embassy to Jerusalem isn't the move itself but rather the fact that such a monumental diplomatic victory was given to Isreal for free without exacting at least a commitment to the two state solution or a cessation of settlement expansions that violate international law.
smh.

tolexy007:



you never get over the Hillary loss, I understand. if Iran try to develop atomic bomb then, Israel has no option than to bomb dem to an oblivion.... God bless Israel, God America , God bless Nigeria

yep. cause that worked out so well in the past.

and just like that, almost all hope of actual peace in the middle east.

CaptainStephen:
show me were I mentioned Iran.

>a thread about Iran and Isreal
>brings up Arabs

smh.

CaptainStephen:
This not me been racist but I have come to a conclusion that Arabs are the most mentally unstable race on the planet.

you do realize Iranians aren't Arabs right?

escodotman:
I was following your narratives keenly until you used the word ''idiot''. Only fools and animals resort to insults to press their argument and try to impose their opinions on another people and it is the hallmark of a particular religion!

You should know that U.S. and many Western countries including Germany, U.K. and France, all belong to NATO, they all have a pact or some kind of agreement to always fight a articular course together if it comes to war. That is why U.S, France and Germany joined the U.K to sanction Russia in the Skripal's poisoning case despite not finding a hard and indisputable evidence that Russia was behind it. These NATO also ganged up and coluded to send missiles to bomb Syria which is an ally of Russia and nothing happened.

first off thank you for keenly reading my posts.
secondly, forgive me if I sound rude but I am not sorry for using the word "idiot", especially in that context. I don't mince my words. I call things as I see them. if you are in anyway offended, I honestly don't know what else to tell you.

thirdly, I know what NATO is. but I also know what "diplomatic capital" is. diplomatic capital isn't some binding agreement but it is arguably even more important than any covenant.
trump by his actions, invoked the ire of His NATO allies. obviously they aren't going to leave NATO over it but they are starting to reevaluate their relationship with the u.s. which alone is a cause for concern. you can disagree with allies but you don't take them for granted and you definitely don't outright defy and embarrass them in the manner than trump has done.
like I said, China is popping champagne over this.

Naza25:
Trump has done the right thing. Prime minister Netanyahu provided intelligence based evidence last week that Iran had been actively pursuing a nuclear weapons program way back in 2003. This must not be allowed, a state sponsor of terrorism like Iran must not be allowed access to nuclear weapons because it won't be long before these weapons get into the hands of terrorists around the world

fixed that for you.

escodotman:
You all said more than this when Kim Jung of North Korea was ranting and making mouth against U.S. Today he has calmed down and agreed to discontinue his nuclear programme.

first off, look how long it took to get NK to the negotiating table.
second, pressure on NK only worked because every single nation in the world support and enforced sanctions. that isn't so with Iran.
thrid, the u.s. has effectively given Iran the morale high ground as Iran was in full compliance with the deal.
fourth, trump actions weaken the moderate faction within Iran which opposed Iran having a nuke in the first place and advocated for partnership with the west.
fifth, it severely weakens if not outright destroyed the diplomatic trust the u.s. has taken decade to build as the world's most reliable partner in any agreement. China is pretty much popping champagne over this.
Sixth, in the event of a war which would most likely make the cost of the war on Iraq seem like chicken change, Iran is strategically placed to cause severe harm to world economy. *Google "strait of hormuz"*

I really could go on. there is literally no upside to this save for Israeli hardliners, war hawks, weapons manufacturers (incidentally, their stocks shot up sharply immediately after trump pulled out of the deal) and idiots who were to shortsighted to see the ultimate end game of the deal which was likely the best chance at peace in the middle east.

uncleinans:


The deal dint stop iran from ballistic missiles, it only stopped iran from enriching its uranium for like ten to fifteen years, which probably they could go back to building the nuclear weapon. the moment Iran develops nuclear weapon, my brother, it ll be very difficult to stop them. like NK, they ll never give up their nuclear arsnal, Isreal has been watching Iran, they even had to put redlines, am sure they ve not crossed it that is why they not bombed Iran. as for Russia, they re in for the money and nothing more

while the deal allows iran to enrich uranium after 10-15 years, it permanently bans iran from ever pursuing a nuclear weapon program in any form (even researching nuclear weapons or making computer models of nukes was banned ) and bans iran from enriching uranium to nuclear weapons levels which is understandable given that iran had plans to build a nuclear reactor.
it also allowed for intrusive inspections to continue well beyond the end of the sunset clauses.

https://www.armscontrol.org/Issue-Briefs/2015-08-25/Restrictions-on-Irans-Nuclear-Program-Beyond-15-Years
it wasn't the best deal ever made but at the very least, it took out the threat of a nuclear war in the world's most volatile region.

proxillin:

When it comes to real war, russia will never side an islamic country. Russia hates muslims more than america.

Russia is just making money from Iran. Iran is not important to Russia. Russia got more oil than Iran.

International politics is not for kids

Russia doesn't need to "side" with Iran. merely refusing to fully corporate with the u.s. on sanctions and selling weapons to Iran is more than enough to sabotage u.s. efforts.

not to mention, the current Iranian army is not the corrupt, unorganized cesspool that was the Iraqi army.
now imagine a much stronger army over a much larger territory with multiple militias all over the middle east.
don't get me wrong, the u.s. will surely win a war with Iran but if they thought the Iraq war was too costly, they are going to get a heart attack when they see the bill for a war with iran.

KINGinVAHALA:

He was adviced not to pull out of the deal doesn't mean these western countries will now dump US for Iran, Iran of all countries.

they probably won't for the most parts. however, what trump has done is burn up diplomatic capital, not just between allies but to this rest of the world.
why would anyone want a deal with the u.s. when a new administration can simple walk away?

and you do realize what trump has done only strengthens the position of Iranian hardliners who have been against the deal and for creating nuclear weapons.

like I said earlier, a diplomatic own goal.

LadyExcellency:


Then Israel will bomb it to oblivion with full US support and Iran will do nothing.

Unless the Mullars want to give up their grip over Iran

if bombing Iran's nuclear program was that easy, there would never have been a deal in the first place.
now iran has a strong alliance with Russia, business ties with Europe and China looking to take over u.s. role as the world's most reliable partner.
this is possibly the biggest diplomatic own goal in history.

9inches:
Fixed.

nope. "HAS".

this is all a fucking smokescreen. every one and their mother knew Iran was developing a nuclear weapon PRIOR to the agreement. as usual Isreal is trying to blur the lines.
unfortunately the u.s. has an idiot in power.

I'm sorry but that is one stupid nigga. if I wanted to buy something so expensive, I definitely wouldn't buy it online. what would it have cost him to go to an apple store and purchase live and direct?
this is a lesson for people looking for cheap things online. if you don't have the money to buy a brand new iPhone X , then don't try buying one for "cheap" cause chances are, you are definitely getting scammed one way or the other.

SalamRushdie:


hahahahahahahahaha you Dullards never cease to amaze me ..During the campaigns When Trump said his policies where going to get the jobs back and Obama said there was no economic magic that could ever bring the jobs back where were You ..... I am sure it was also Obamas policy that got the US better trade agreements with the Chinese recently and it was Obama policy that just ended the Korean War and before I forget Obama policy that destroyed ISIS and ALBagadadi GTFOH

ehhh...
Obama brought jobs back after inheriting the worst economic disaster since the great depression.

the only president to have created more jobs than Obama was bill Clinton himself who created the best economy for the u.s. ever (the u.s. was operating on a budget surplus)
https://www.thebalance.com/job-creation-by-president-by-number-and-percent-3863218

https://www.factcheck.org/2017/09/obamas-final-numbers/

don't know where you get your facts from. trump during the campaign kept lying and calling obama's job numbers fake with zero proof and proposed no actual policy to build on the job creation other than tax cuts and less regulation which as history has shown led to economic disasters in the long run.


the Korean peace deal is a land mark achievement but so are the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris accord.

exactly which "better" trade deal has been negotiated with china?

ISIS was as a result of policies of the Bush administration and the plans to defeat ISIS currently being used were all developed by the Obama administration. it's quite literally the same strategy. trump came in at the time when the strategy had started to yield major gains and as usual took credit for it.

I have realized though from your response that I m corresponding with a troll. so... have a good day.

SalamRushdie:


What Trumps policies are affecting kanyes fans? Lowest black and Hispanic unemployment rates in History?

black and Hispanic employment rates have been a rise since the Obama administration. trump has not initiated any single policy that can the attributable to the thread that began under obama. a fact even the white house doesn't dispute.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/jan/30/donald-trump/donald-trump-partly-correct-rejoinder-jay-z/
trump literally inherited the strong economy Obama created and is already well on his way to wrecking it just like bush jnr ruined the Clinton economy.

scully95:
This is another reason no one should ever believe in whatever the west, their institutions or 'mind control propaganda network media Machine' says.

Russia has finally revealed the wreckages of some of the misssiles shut down and unexploded ones.

According to this lie lie fake news news and druken general

The Pentagon says that the US, the UK and France launched 105 missile on targets in Syria on April 14. According to the Pentagon, no missiles were intercepted and all of them hit their targets.

See why the west stand no chance even against Syrian outdated missile defense system even though panstir Ad was added to its missile defense systems.

Where are those asking for proofs.. Will you keep quiet now. the likes of Ikio, Patriot9, JUHABACH, Olalan,

any tom, dick and Harry can gather a bunch of scrap and label it whatever they like. sorry to dash your hopes, but the burden of proof is much higher than what any local panel beater can cook up.
if they can be kind enough to show raw data from the air defense systems showing that targets were intercepted and actual satellite images , then I will take them seriously.
don't tag me for this nonsense.

ah yes, another isreal stooge. haven't seen one of those before. *sacarsm*
best case scenario, the iran nuclear deal gets torched, the Iranian hardliners gain power as a result (keep in mind, the current Iranian government is a moderate faction) and the middle east gets all the more disrabilized for it, costing the U.S. more money.

Antoeni:
Buhari as an honest man who does not prevaricate has only given a voice to a glaringly challenge which others know but too afraid to mouth it because of political expediency.

given the exceedingly poor standards of education in Nigeria, the rising costs of education etc. I don't need to argue with those facts. and if you think those facts support buhari 's stupid statement, then there is little hope for you.
