Wow, I like this. But inasmuch as no country is a saint, concerning this issue, we should know the US is going somewhere somehow.
Let's discuss what this same US did to Cuba, they planned to kill the president with bombing seashells, or a poisoned swimsuit which they would give as a gift. Pretty great, right?
Eisenhower, Kennedy, Dulles and others did pretty much bad, but, well, as you said, no country is a saint,but why are the US trying to establish bases in former Soviet nations.

I am not very much in support of any nation because I am not really interested by any way, but the US are on the edge of fiascoing the world if they continue their cunning ways

Okay, I mentioned something about ideology. If Australia or Canada becomes powerful militarily or economically today, the US would never challenge them, or see them as a threat in any way. Why? because she knows her interest in core pivotal issues would be protected due to having similar ideologies. Fidel Castro was an authoritarian, under a communist structure. Same ideology as the Soviets, hence the eyes of US were on him.
The US is one of the few countries today that carry futuristic views about any decision they take or occurrence going on around the globe.
Live and let live doesn't apply here. Its about staying preemptive on curbing systems that may yyundermine democratic practices.

MangekyoAlt:
You don't like russians because they oppress sovereign nations? I challenge you to go and start reading the history of USA. I almost guarantee you that you will start liking the russians, as do I. Because like you, I used to be brainwashed into thinking the russians are the bad guys.

The USA did much, much worse than Russia is currently doing. The western media's tries to cover all of it and I'll tell you they actually succeeded. But then, if you go deep, you will definitely see books or even articles that explain their brutal history.

Anyway, since you claim russia doesn't respect other countries sovereignty. Let me give you a few examples of when USA attempted and did far worse of what Russia is currently doing with Ukraine. USA even killed their own citizens to make it seem like it is other "sovereign" countries that did it, to justify invasion.

in 1898, for instance, the US exploded USS Maine in Havana killing 266 American mariners to blame and declaring war on Spain.

Please I advice you to Google operation north woods. Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation against American citizens that originated within
the US Department of Defense of the United States government in 1962.
The proposals called for the CIA operatives to both stage and actually commit acts of terrorism against American military and civilian targets , blaming them on the Cuban government, and using it to justify a war against Cuba. Ukraine...sound familiar??

Now you see that Cuba that I mentioned? That country Don see hell fire for USA hand. I'm willing to write about the suffering that was meted upon them by USA, but I'll leave that for another day. Let me talk about NATO, USA, RUSSIA & UKRAINE.

So many of you nairalanders actually think Russia is the aggressor and the cause of the current tension. Well that is false! NATO and the USA are both the problem. Here do you know why? Well, the West been led by the USA had been expanding its DS Military infrastructure footprint throughout Europe; deploying NATO nuclear missiles, U.S. missile defense systems and special forces along Russia’s doorstep.
Putin hasn’t been toppling governments in Eastern Europe, installing proxies, or deploying Russian missiles and Soviet defense systems. As you nairalanders make it seem. It’s been the West, moving East. Since the end of the Cold War, the West has been systematically cutting Russia off from the rest of the world, using NATO.

What’s happening in Ukraine today is the same thing that happened in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. please go and read about the Cuban missile crisis if you can. America put nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey. The Soviet Union ‘RESPONDED’ by putting missiles in the Caribbean (via submarines) and Cuba.
America learned about the Soviet missiles in the Caribbean and Cuba and freaked out bc of the extremely close proximity of the Soviets’ military infrastructure. With Soviet missiles that close, America would not have sufficient time to analyze, evaluate and respond to a potential threat. America went nuts, demanded the Soviets immediately remove the missiles.
The Soviets had made the same complaints and demands about America’s nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey. The United States said those missiles were defensive. After the Soviets responded in kind putting the same in the Caribbean and Cuba, America said the missiles were an aggressive threat.
The Cuban Missile Crisis had begun. The Soviets were not the aggressors, they were the respondent.
The United States wasn’t having it and began plans to invade Cuba, put 100,000 plus troops on Florida beaches, set up an illegal Naval blockade in the Caribbean blocking all ships from reaching Cuba and the United States, flew Spy Planes over Cuba (which got shot down, killing Air Force Pilot Rudolph Anderson). The U.S. also attacked Soviet submarines which were lawfully patrolling in international water and hadn’t fired on anyone.
Pretty hypocritical, right?
The Soviets were simply responding in kind, and refused to back down. In the end, in order to avoid nuclear war, America agreed to remove its nuclear missiles from Italy and Turkey, and thereafter the Soviets agreed to remove its missiles from Cuba, restoring the status quo and balance of power to the position the parties were in before America dramatically expanded its military footprint.
Today, we see the EXACT SAME scenario happening. The West has been building up its NATO footprint, putting NATO weapons, nuclear missiles, missile defense systems and special forces in former Soviet states.
Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan we’re a step too far for Putin inasmuch as this is literally on the doorstep of Russia.
Putin has amassed his extraordinary military machinery and has told the world that NATO missiles are NOT going into Ukraine. Putin has also demanded the West remove its missiles from the former Soviet states surrounding Russia.
Sound familiar!
Putin will win this battle, NATO and the rest of the world will agree to restore the status quo and remove NATO missiles. If the Biden / NATO missiles currently on their way actually enter Ukraine, you will see Putin respond with the use of his vast military.

Lalasticlacla, Mynd44 move to fp for people to be enlightened

Enlightened? funny.
No country is a saint. Not even the Scandinavians. Listen..,
Sometime ago, somewhere in Lagos, I was a kid, playing around with peers. Then we had this calm 'Aboki' who traded sweets, snacks , in their usual way. He was so free with us such that we could play around him, irrespective of the age difference. I found myself asking him some questions one evening. I called him abokina and he snapped back. He said he wasn't abokina cos he's not a Nigerian, but a Nigerien from Niger Republic. I asked him why he prefers trading in Nigeria and he said Niger was poor with few opportunities, that only the 'Gadaffi boys' enjoy because they had money. I got more inquisitive and asked him who the 'Gadaffi boys' were and why he wasn't one of them. He said he used to be one of them but gave it up because of his conscience. He explained how they were routinely sent weapons in trucks, stuffed in bags containing market wares and huge sums of dollars as compensation. Their jobs were to move into in the Nothern part of Nigeria, (since they already had strong religious affiliations and inter-married themselves,) move into churches or homes in the of the opposite faith and massacre them. He said he had witness his fellows kill children and mothers, and couldn't bear it anymore so he had to seek for greener pastures outside the country. I asked him about the Gadaffi he was referring to and he asked me how many I've heard of. Then Moamar Gadaffi of Libya was still alive. He made it clear he was referring to the Libyan president at the time. My view about Gadaffi immediately changed. Each time I saw his picture on the papers, I saw a demon.
Later on in the future, I see so many people saying Gadaffi was a sound leader that got killed by the West. I hear things like Libya was doing fine until the wicked West took out a prosperous Gadaffi. No one ever saw him to be a Jihadist.
Bottom line is, the West spy on the world with great precision and accuracy. They may not come up plain to give clear proofs about certain issues, but intelligence gathered decides what next step they take on issues. That's why up till date, the US body language can't be understood. They're always sending mixed signals, because they work with other facts and information that the majority misrepresents, misunderstands, overlook or undermine.
Every country have her evils. The US , Russia or China. Run a check, most Nigerians who prefer a Chinese or Russian Super power, likely supported PMB before now...
You can't paint America darker than she is. The healthy minds know this, that the US is the best evil to have among the three.
One more thing, the contention between the
West and Russia or China is more of sustaining and expanding ideologies. Forget all the NATO bla bla. The world learnt from Adolf Hitler, that with an authoritarian state as a super power, the world will return to the barbaric age of land grabbings and other primitive aggressions. Free Journalism would be threatened. Liberalism would be silenced. Any form of Authoritarian government is a threat to the free world as she keeps expanding militarily or economically. Curbing this is what America stands for. They'll apply every measure they can, even if it means playing out of the rules.
If you hate them for that, well its your choice, not a fact.

Khaleepha5681:
Sir,why is Japan not the economic giant,despite being the pro-west?

Why not the South Korea?

Funny enough, China is economic Giant in the world,not just in the region!!!. Where are the west?

Almighty China,this is Almighty China for you.

Well!. Iraq and Uganda are saying hello for you. They are worst USA.

But the freedom to prosper matters much than freedom to cry. If I am not oppressed, why should I complain?

Look at the chart from Investopedia. So you can see that Japan is an economic giant too. Even in GDP per capita, Japan is doing better than China. Which means Japan significantly have lots of her citizens living above poverty level than China.
Look at the table again, from number 3 to 6 are US allies. North Korea and Russia are cant be found on this list. They were testing hypersonic missiles when the list was compiled

Cptflint:
Have you been to China?.. China is the safest place on earth right now. With law and order. Unless you are a rascal who wants to do as he please and get away with it, you can Go to the USA, China is less corrupt. Not like the USA that trives on corruption. If you find yourself some day in China. You will be glad.

NO safest place on earth. The Scandinavian countries are close to having achieved this status. China is hollow. What you see on their media is regulated with false figures and facade. America is wild and unsafe, sure. At least its transparent at the same time. Blacks still have a voice. Remember George Floyd during the lockdown?
That same period a good number of Nigerians were thrown out of their houses and hotel rooms into the streets of China by the Government, accusing them of worsening the COVID-19 spread in China.
The moment any of my close friends starts esteeming the Chinese over the West, I start reconsidering his values and draw up boundaries.
Note; I'm not necessarily pro-west. I'm definitely not a coward. Americans don't just swallow anything from anyone. They question everything that's why they're the country with the most prosperous blend of diversities. Lemme ask you a question. Have you ever seen a black Chinese since you were born?

abeeee:
I actually leverage on the stupidity of persons like you for financial gains

I could sell air to you and tell you to pay me for thinking cause I don't think you even do

Nor quote your father again

Nairaland juveniles. Smh

PerfectlyPerfect:
I would've given you a more detailed reply, but I'm really not in the mood. We're talking about relationship on country level and you're talking about individual level. That's totally absurd.
I would only advise you go and study more about international geopolitics.
Also, the bolded sections are absolute rubbish

I've observed that most times a nairalander makes bold or highlights phrases in a comment (looks like the kids do more of that here), he's about to throw bashes to further emphasize his 'ignorance' on the matter discussed.
Personal level, Country level, Spiritual level...
Lol.
I shouldn't be having this conversation with you, friend. Its a waste of time.
I think you'll do better in the entertainment section. Just give it a try.

Khaleepha5681:
Wild Animals have much freedom than human being. But their lives is not always ain't secured.

If my father gives me anything I want,I will never try to insult him. The insulting of leaders and elders, is not African morality.

But when my Father tell me that I can smoke,I can Insult him,I can be homo...but he won't take up my liability.... This type of father are found on streets.

China gives its citizen all they need,despite being it most populated.

So the empty-stomach freedom to cry is that a freedom?

What about freedom to eat,free to be educated, free to be in peace? Are they not freedom also?

Or is freedom limited to smoke,to defame, to blackmail and to cast vote for the lesser devil?

Have you ever lived in a town where the ruler regulates what is being taught in religious institutions? Churches or Mosques?
Or a place where the authorities throw you into prison for speaking up against an ill you perceived from the government of the day?
That's China and North Korea. China is only a prosperous version of North Korea. North Korea on the other hand, is an impoverished version of China. If the West had decided to move manufacturing to North Korea, they would have been the economic giant in that region, not China. The West move with prosperity. Linda Ikeji and Seun of Nairaland are beneficiaries of that. Japan and South Korea are other examples.

The analogy of a country and her government as a father and his children, is flawed. It doesn't apply here in democratic system, where there are different arms and set ups that make up the whole State structure, which requires application of processes and protocols to initiate State functions. Even most monarch systems today have adopted a more modernised structure that adds up a prime Minister, a Parliament and run on a constitution rather than royal decrees.
China doesn't give her citizens ''all'' they need. Forget all those hoaxes. Some needs can't be voiced for fear of the powers that be.
Nigerians who praise China over the West are either religiously biased(terrorist sympathisers) or Mentaly myopic.

abeeee:
Let me tell you what China is doing in Africa
China is building infrastructure like roads, bridges and more in fact the reason we have trains running in Nigeria now is China
Unlike the west that only wants to sell weapons and discord between us

China is giving loans to african countries to help develop themselves .....if they miss use, steal and lot the money, China will take whatever they where to take as per the agreement .....it is business and you can't hold that against china
If your governments use the loans well, there would be no issue so blame your government
How will somebody give your dad money to take care of you and your siblings education, and your dad uses the money to drink and fvck whores then you end up an illiterate and you begin to blame your Auncle that borrowed him money? ......lol

You sound like someone who hates his auncle

Gerrit ?

If these are the only breed of youths we have left in Nigeria, then the country doesn't have a future.
You talk like those squads who use ladies' undies for financial leverage.

PerfectlyPerfect:
100% facts. I was even expecting the presidency to align with Russia and China militarily but they're still grovelling to the US. It's pathetic.

Its pathetic you'll kill for a US visa than spend for a Chinese visa.
Its pathetic you rain insults on your government on social media without being arrested by the police, yet you don't know such level of freedom was made possible by the influence of the US and never China.
Its pathetic you think this way, with so much confidence.

Homiesjinxbank:
Firstly Nato has only 28 members.

And we both know Russia has more nuclear than the U.S by thousands.

so lastly most of this Russia nuclears are in Ukraine, and the U.S is eyeing them.

This is something the Kremlin are not willing to hand over to the U.S

What are you looking for in global politics section?
Just leave please. Run to romance section. Shame dey catch me on your behalf. Just leave please.

Khaleepha5681:
USA is not pro-Nigeria. Egypt is the biggest ally of USA in Africa. Nigeria should just turn around and go for China and Russia for military and business tie.

If we play with this chance, another country will take the chance and be groomed by China and Russia,then eventually become the big name in Africa.

Beautiful Nonsense!

shine12:
I use to think America was an hypocrite around 2008 ish until I understood world order to a small extent. America's strong influence in building military infrastructure around the world has some benefit. It manintains peace to some extent. Do you know that now is the most peaceful period in modern human history with all this small small war.
Imagine world where every country minds his own business. It'll take only one rogue nation to do very bad things. Nazi Germany rings a Bell? Why do you think Genghis Khan, The Huns and other empires ruled over vast land, because no one can touch them. Imagine a world where China is not contained or Russia is allowed to do what it wants. The Western led coalition is still the best in leading world order. China and Russis won't even commit to targets to reduce carbon emmission. You don't certainly want to try a world where Islam leads the world order. Imagine if Al Qaeda is the most powerful entity in the world.

Leave all these ones shouting China, Russia . If it were China or Russia who created the internet, you think say Seun of Nairaland for even see road at all? Abi na Linda Ikeji you wan talk? who for sabi am?

BuddhaPalm:
President Xi is even more powerful.

He has unfettered powers and the economic might to back up his actions.

The US president on the other hand can barely get anything done. If a federal judge doesn't strike down his order, Congress or the Supreme court does.

And if that's not enough he can be voted out in 4 years.

You guys have began 2022 with the ignorance of 2021 again. Smh

toujurs:
african men have brain, its just unfortunate that we are governed by illiterates

We are governed by "who get mouth"' just like most of them would say. Criticize a popular figure for low standards, you get bashed by majority of the youths because "you no get mouth", in their words. No values left. Only monetary value.

They are all the same,even the one that calls u everyday will still call other guys after she drops . Dont be fooled by these fake ass puzzles, they ain't worth shi t .

OP, trash this comment if you're sure you wanna move up a new phase of being a man.

GOTVee:
As a born again christain who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i think the false alarms we Christian raise is the reason why the western nations were deceived into thinking that we Christians are truly persecuted. Thank God the USA can see through our lies and mischief. There is no islamization agenda anywhere. We really need to copy the examples of our lord Jesus and stop heating up the polity

Looks like your Christianity is just for filling of forms and documentation. If you had a family member who passed on by religious massacres up north, I don't think you'll post this. E never reach your door mat that's why. This 'mind your business, e no concern me' kinda life has not and will never help us in any way. Peter wouldn't have made it past the prison bars if the early Christians had this mindset you have.
Have you ever watched a relative of yours die in front of you, slaughtered by armed men for choosing to believe what they don't believe? Do you even know what intercession is? If yes, when was the last time you interceded for a soul?

BigSarah:
When Nigeria was Listed, how did the US help the persecuted?...

If your religion is being persecuted, change religion...

Conform if you can't fight back

All religions are kuku the same.

Change religion to conform?

Do you live for something? Or you live for anything or nothing?

soundOsonic:
I met a lady last year, we talked well and vibed well. Later on I would go to her shop to discuss and I would have this eye contact with her and I thought I felt something like a spark though. Even the Lady with her suspected we had a thing together but I just recently knew her. We both talked as if we know each otherfor like forever.

She asked me for my number, I gave her. I never asked her for her number simply because I wanted to make sure that the signal we are getting from each other was purely romantic and not platonic and I wanted to take things slow.

I felt that her asking for my number was that she needed to spend more time with me if I am not available physically. So we started chatting. The chats was going smoothly and to my surprise we do chat all through the day we literally chats all hours of the day.
Then I did what all single Hot guy will do, out but apart from the Hot which I am not most times; I asked her out. I was not after sex perse I just wanted enough closure bridging through the platonic platform to a more romantic setting.

But she replied with this exact same words "I am not ready for a relationship, I want to complete my schooling and be focus with my education."

Well despite her reply killed my envisioned sun setting romantic bliss; I understood as she was a good girl, a virgin and someone very focus with academics. I know this because she tells me everything about her things happening each day, minutes and seconds.

I was contented with the platonic relationship, I thought I would wait maybe 2 or 3 years as that's what she was indirectly telling me.
A month later from the time I asked her out and was turned down, that time was December: Christmas period. I took my sister out to a nice eatery and I asked her if she could come along as a friend. She obliged but told me she would be going some place after that I said ok.

So after she left to her place of wherever. My sister told me she is worried, I asked her why, she said she went to her guy's place. I was shocked this is a lady that is not ready for relationship. This guy in question is a Yahoo guy by the appearance and all. The guy later broke her heart as that's the first time she is dating I think at 21. Another guy in the area too was like dating her as well after that guy, at the point of dating he got another girl pregnant and broke her heart (same Yahoo guy).

I thought why did she ever chose not to date me. If at all you were not physically attracted to me why didn't you just tell me instead of all these mumbo jumbo. I am actually an average looking guy. Maybe a 6 or even a 7 based on world standard.

My question is why do girls always refuse to date me, I am not a good guy neither am I a bad guy. The one I am asking out says I am not in her level, that she is in a very low level for me to look at her or ask her out. She believes I am after sex.

The next one said I am too low for her. Though she was older.
The one I confessed my feelings for her heart isn't even with me but another but she started catching feelings but sometimes she gets to her senses and she convince herself she belongs with another.

The girl who I don't even know that keeps greeting me Everytime but I keep ignoring her, I later went for her after a year she turned me down.
I just tire o.

Edit: Not every woman I meet, I ask out. I have a particular type of lady I ask out that depicts my taste. Any Lady beyond or below I show zero interest.

People saying I should move on, I have already. I was never pained o. And those calling me a simp I no even understand, where did you read any simpish move from me? Or do you at all know what SIMP is?
My problem isn't sex o. If I wanted sex I would get it easily from those low class street girls without spending a dime. I am after my kind of girls but they are saying NO.

I think you sailed the 'ship' too fast and far ahead of the 'relation'.

That girl is 21. They have a very short attention span. You don't seem to have the adventure or luxury to keep her attention fixed on u. You don't seem to have the right cards from the pack, but that's not the goal either.

The goal is to get your sense of validation outside the female circle, to better your psychology, physique and finances. Pursue these goals with focus and you'll have less stress calling the shots with women.

Focus on an ideal lifestyle and a goal. That's your business. Watch the women focus on you, that's their job.

I'm not asking you to be a yahoo boy. It's the easiest way to get a Range Rover with your destiny.

Women come last. Put them first and every other thing collapses.

Beautiful girl.


It's more noble and peaceful to marry her than to marry Iyaebe. Nonsense girl

Chai!

Wait first. Is Iyaebe a girl or a woman?

Well, just like you said; so the readers could learn from your misdeeds.
Readers, set your values and be principled. Male or female. Anyone who loves you won't drown you. Op didn't value human lives. She valued her boyfriend's addiction and obsession than humanity.
OP, tell all these to Jesus. HE alone can assure you of a brighter, better tomorrow. We all can't. You can start now.

It's okay.
Just tell her to stop it. If she asks why, tell her you need to grow.

You didn't specify if you prayed about this union to be. You may call me religious if you wanna.
Looks like he prioritizes his parent's compliments over your convenience. You can't press on to marry him with a high flying red flag as this. You gotta be sure God has your back on this one.
Tell him you need a break. Take a while off. Go on your knees and reevaluate your decisions and let God guide you through. Shalom.

No different from Ipob’s demands, Useless Bandarass Terrorists.

IPOB is not on the same page with these Terrorists. You don't need a BSc to know that.

You cant mention Fulani herdsmen or BH in the same sentence with Niger Delta Militants or IPOB. Its either a display of stupidity or show of support for Terrorism, inclined towards the benefits of a blood thirsty religion.
