smh. kids these days.� |
charliboy654: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: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: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:*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: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: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. |
dudebuck: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: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: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:you do realize Iranians aren't Arabs right? |
escodotman: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:fixed that for you. |
escodotman: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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: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. |
1x2x3:No. |
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: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. |
TheUpsetGirl1:ah! sister please forgive me |
