Politics / Re: If You Hate Igbos So Much, Why Not Support Their Exit? by lebuhsi(m): 6:48pm On Feb 04, 2022
chigator2:


I don't blame you, Sha, your perception is biased already.

Do you think Igbo politicians cum saboteurs represent Igbo Opinion, the same way the corrupt nature of Nigerian politicians has never represented your interest if you're to be honest.

Power has made them selfish to the voice of the people.
Non-Politicians who still choose to participate in Nigeria are doing so out of lost identity and monetary or personal influence, I won't judge them.

If after all setbacks and negative PR against the movement, resident Igbos are the majority in support of secession, we are therefore far from Hypocrisy.

You are the hypocrite, not us.
"Us" would imply you speak for everybody, you and I know that's not the case. IMHO, only politicians in Ibo land want to leave Nigeria because of perceived marginalization. millions of Ibos reside are economically and socially benefit from a united Nigeria.

If you want your politicians in the centre of government, be smart no emotional about politics.

IMHO IPOB wasted an opportunity to turn their massive following and wide acceptance into political power.

You cannot leave Nigeria without following the legal and cumbersome process of secession, you can't even leave Nigeria legally (guess who's fault is that?)
it would take the consensus of Nigeria's tribes and political interests (including commercial ibos, not entirely politicians)like yourself to disintegrate Nigeria as it was the situation in the Soviet Union in '91.

otherwise, it would lead to a crescendo(which would be another civil war)
A deja vu in that gruesome case, maybe even worse(genocides, starvation because of food insecurity, etc)

let's face it, they are 250 tribes in Nigeria, Ibos are no more 'politically' marginalized than the rest of us.

For a lack of executive political representation, ibos make up for it in commerce. there's a significant presence of Ibos throughout the rest of Africa. this if not anything signifies that we need to integrate more, share our beautiful traditions amongst each other in peace. we are the people of the 'Niger area' politicians or not we are destined to be together.

We underestimate how economically integrated we are, I mean, go to any market close to you and see people from all over West Africa, if they fought like the politicians(like yourself) we wouldn't be having any markets.

All these wailings about political marginalization are propaganda crafted by the political elite class to distribute political power amongst themselves.

Because I don't see how a Hausa, Ibo, Yoruba, Efik, Ijaw, etc president would change the lives of the common man in the street.

The political elite stroke sentiments, weaponize them, and wield it in their ascent to power.

Tell me about the tax to GDP ratio or tax to debt ratio then explain how you're going to pay it one generation.

if your tax to GDP ratio is 8% juxtapose it to that of Greece at over 30%. it means they are a lot of progress to be made. the government should be collecting nothing less than $50bn y on y as taxes.

every year we see the FIRS exceed their targets on tax collected, the progress is slow but it can only get better. The major reason for our low Tax to GDP ratio is that our economy is largely informal so they are a lot of gaps to cover.

I agree it would be scary for Nigeria if they can't control monetary policy. I doubt they honestly want to surrender that power. I wouldn't be surprised if a Greek style crisis occurred a few years down the road. That happened because Greece lied and borrowed too much. Germany had to reluctantly bail them out.

Nigeria's debt to GDP ratio is just below 20% of GDP. Nigeria can pay her debt in one generation.

Britain just recently finish paying up WW I debts, everyone that lived in that era would be dead by now

Corruption is the reason the government keeps minting cash. The disbursement of cash is virtually untraceable.

Can you imagine the outrage that will ensue if it can be traced that Tinubu transferred ₦2 billion to MC Oluomo who now shared ₦10 million each to known Lagos thugs just before an election?

It's much safer to just drive the cash in bullion vans, Bruh!

You're just making beer parlor gist allegations here, the CBN knows exactly how much Is in circulation and how much is in the Cash reserves(7.5% of all deposits).

you should pay attention to MPC meetings if you want to keep to date with Nigeria's monetary policy

everyone against going digital with legal tenders would be dishonest. "paper" cash wear and tear.
the CBN spends billions of Naira "mopping" up dilapidated notes, disposing of them, and minting new ones

You're funny.
Have you been or lived in Bakassi?
Do you have relatives from there?

It's laughable that you believe BNYL isn't a separatist movement...... What are they before?
A charity organization?

Don't confuse yourself with efik elite political class who are enjoying the political fruits in calabar.

Go down to the creeks at borders with cameroon and see secessionist.

BNYL is not Igbo group like ipob but they have great ties with ibos especially those in cameroon.

I'm glad you acknowledged the multi ethnicity state of CR,
In an advent of ibos living Nigeria, every ethnic group will sought alliance and join where they will benefit more.


Please stop believing news paper story, Ayade has done anything for the militants, that's why they've gone back fighting.

There's a political/economic solution to the problems of the plights of the militants.
There's nothing like an Efik elite class. living standards among Efiks and Quas are largely the SAME! Political resolutions are made patrilineally with family heads having the final say.

There's no disillusion amongst the youths of the area like you have in the SE, family heads, Clan heads, and Paramount rulers are highly respected by all classes of society(Teachers, politicians, youths, Elite).

There are a lot of Ibos living in CRS hence the sympathy, but it doesn't amount to staunch support.

If Nigeria is dissolved today, there will be 36 sovereign states. Which decisions do you think ethnic minorities will make when they are put in charge of their destinies?

Baba forget the idea of a Niger Delta.

The region is not serious.

Biafra Today is an Ibo struggle,
Most of our people in SS mocked them back in 2015 but they (ibo) have remained resolute in their quest.
. Where are those Niger Delta militant groups that surfaced in 2015 - 2016? As usual gone into obvilion.

As it stands today, each individual ethnic group in SS will negotiate and dialogue with ibos of they are exiting nigeria.

It's even ridiculous if you think and believe that Asaba people and ikwerre will fight those in SE, that means you don't know Nigeria ethnic loyalty.

Ethnicity in Africa is very strong bond which comes alive during issues.

For SS, every group have a different interest.
Someone in Benin clearly doesn't have same interests as someone in bakassi in cross river,
Someone in oil bayelsa doesn't have same interest with a non oil producing area in Northern cross river.

Geography and economy will be a determining factor in every ethnic group in SS will relate with ibos.


Lemme give you an example, ibo community are very supportive of Ambazonia movement in a bid for bakassi peninsula to rejoin Biafra,
Ipob has an alliance Ambazonia,


This alone has ignited local support for Igbos in bakassi area and many efiks in nigeria are following the situation.

There's no Efik support for Biafra, the BYL in Bakassi is NOT a separatist movement although there bare the name "Biafra" they are fighting(so they say) against the marginalization and victimization and failure of compensation of the victims of the cessationon of the Bakkasi Penisula to Cameroun. A lot of them have turned their weapons to the State Government as they were granted an amnesty by the State Government

https://punchng.com/ayade-grants-amnesty-to-bakassi-militants/

A secessionist appeal in CR state is non-existent. people there are majorly fixated on local/national politics. they may be some sympathy to the Biafran "course" but it doesn't indicate a strong leaning towards joining it.

you lots also tend to ignore the fact that CR like Nigeria is multi-ethnic. it is roughly divided into three political blocs. The people of CR are well assimilated that's why nobody hears about any ethno-political rancour. All ethnic minorities are skeptical about the "Tripod" ethnic groups because they largely tend not to look beyond their noses. I need not tell you about the general feeling of Ibos

DO THE CALCULATION YOURSELF, CAN TINUBU CONTROL A MAJOR CONFLICT THAT HAS BEEN BREWING NATIONWIDE, ESPECIALLY IN THE SE AND SS?




IS IT OSINBANJO THAT WILL BE ABLE TO CONTROL SUCH CONFLICT?



BUHARI HAS BARELY SURVIVED AND IS LEAVING BEHIND A MOUNTAIN OF PROBLEMS.



IN 2015, NIGERIA DID NOT HAVE ARMED GROUPS IN EVERY REGION, TODAY(2023) WE DO.



There's no conflict brewing in the SS, stop roping the SS in on your delusional rants. The SS would chart her political course.

Militants have largely used the threat of blowing up pipelines to achieve politicians aims, Akpabio personal went to the creeks to resolve issues when such threats were raised recently.

The politics of emotions can only lead to doom, the SS would never follow you there, spewing vileness on SM in a multi ethnic/multi religious country when you folks are the highest immigrants in the country. I don't know what you guys are thinking.

Someone said politicians are the major cause of the dissatisfaction in the SE and it's true. Because of the failure of local leadership, everybody in the SE is distracted by national politics, politics is local. It goes without saying, if you want to be a major player on the national stage, you have to play NATIONAL politics, not the politics of hate, sensationalism, and anger.

The mindset of an average S. easterner needs to radically change for the better all this hate will not do anybody any good.

my understanding of the mindset of these SM vile producers is that they are acutely isolated, some of them must have never left the SE. So they fear what they don't know.

Everybody needs each other, stop the hate.

Now explain to me where all that Maize in Nigeria goes to? 15m metric tonnes per capita - is a lot of maize.


common sense again, 70% of maize production is used for animal feed here. That's why there was a steep increase in the price of poultry products here earlier this year when FX was restricted to maize importers by the CBN

China To Take Over Uganda’s Lone International Airport Over Failure To Repay Loan
The Ugandan government has lost its most important airport to Chinese loan…....

By
Abdulyassar Abdulhamid
Fri, 26 Nov 2021 13:40:58 GMT

The Ugandan government is on the verge of losing its major airport to China for failing to repay a loan.

The government has failed to reverse a loan agreement with the Chinese which had repayment conditions of attaching its only airport.

Entebbe International Airport and other Ugandan assets were attached and agreed to be taken over by Chinese lenders upon arbitration of the loan.

According reports, President Yoweri Museveni had sent a delegation to Beijing hoping to renegotiate the toxic clauses.

The visit was unsuccessful as China authorities refused to allow any alteration in the original terms of the deal.

The Uganda government, represented by the finance ministry and the Civil Aviation Authority at the time, had on 17 November 2015, signed an agreement with Export-Import Bank of China (Exim Bank) to borrow U$207 million at two per cent upon disbursement; with a maturity period of 20 years including a seven-year grace period.

The deal signed with the Chinese lenders virtually means Uganda “surrendered” its most prominent airport to China.

The Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) said some provisions in the Financing Agreement expose Entebbe International Airport and other Ugandan assets to be attached and taken over by Chinese lenders upon arbitration in Beijing.

The rejection of Uganda’s plea to renegotiate the toxic clauses of the 2015 loan has left Museveni’s administration in limbo.

According to the Daily Monitor of Uganda, the Ugandan government waived international immunity in the agreements it signed to secure the loans, exposing Entebbe International Airport to take over without international protection.

Last week, Uganda’s Finance Minister Matia Kasaija apologised to parliament for the “mishandling of the $207 million loan” from the China Exim Bank to expand Entebbe International Airport.

“I apologise that we shouldn’t have accepted some of the clauses,” Kasaija told members of the committee in response to questions asked by the legislators.

There were also questions over the interest rate that was set by the China Exim Bank for the funds placed in an off-shore Standard Bank account that was used as collateral for the project.

Built in 1972, Entebbe International Airport handles over 1,9 million passengers per year.

Editor’s note: This story has been modified to reflect that China is on the verge of taking over the airport

If a sovereign country can't pay back a <$300m loan, 2% interest rate, with a 7-year moratorium. Then I don't know why they should be collecting credit in the first place

It's not China's fault our elite and political class are corrupt, you collected loans for next to nothing you failed to use it for the intended purposes, now pay up

Don't you know that China has the right to take over the operation and management of the rail in Nigeria for 99 years should the country default? Na Uganda owns dey make u shout, wait until Naija own start. Africa is mentally lazy and servile.

why would you even default on the loan, to begin with? no country gives credit without assurances it would recover it back the Chinese are making extra sure.

The Chinese give credit with no strings attached just utilize it for the intended purposes and everybody is happy.

No "neo-colonialism" fuss, Nigeria owes China about $5bn(about 5% of our
total loan stock) and don't let me started on Eurobonds and the recent $3bn in one swoop with the IMF.

Europe and the West own a much significant portion of Nigeria's total debt stock forget western propaganda you diversify your debt stock you wane the influence of the west on your economy and policies, how's that not a good thing?

ThinkSmarter:
This is how some of us that were born in into Christianity have started to reason of recent

The man/deity called God.
First of all, let's list the attributes of the Biblical God called Yahweh, Elohim or Jehovah
God is a man according to the Bible.
God is always ascribed with the masculine personal pronoun HE.
The Bible says that God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent.
The Bible and Quran described God as the most compassionate or most merciful.
But, as they say action speaks louder than voice.
Right from the garden of Eden.
God have proved otherwise and in many other scenarios in the Bible.
From the creation story in the Bible.
God is not the most powerful.
Angel Lucifer outsmarted God.
God lied to Adam and Eve that they will definitely die when they eat of the fruit of good, knowledge and evil.
God said to his fellow Gods, let's drive man away from the garden of Eden because he has eaten the fruit and have become wise like us (gods)
So that he will not eat from the tree of life and live forever.
God never had good intentions for mankind with those statements attributed to him.
God is not everywhere, God is not all powerful, God is not all knowing.
Cuz if he is, he should have known ahead of time what Angel Lucifer could do.
He should have stopped him if he is all powerful.
He shouldn't have left the garden of Eden since he is every where.
Common!, the Bible stories are just but a fairy tale that can only be taken seriously by sheeples.
God of the Bible is a blood thirsty deity that is hot tempered and kills at little provocation.
He is a dictator.
It takes a mere human like Moses to persuade the angry God to come down in his show of anger and brutality.
He ordered the killing, maiming of vulnerable people like the aged, women, children and physically challenged.
He encouraged rape and violence against women.
Read the Book of Numbers if you think that I am lying.
God of the Bible used venomous snakes to torment and kill people.
He strikes people that try to challenge his authority with illness and death.
Why am I writing this?
Do I intend to spite any one or group of people by doing this?
No, I am constrained by an inner force to write to my generation.
And to that, I appeal to my family and friends to forgive me for not living up to their expectations.
It's not my doing, that despite my strong Christian background, I still deviated and speak against what majority of the populace hold of high esteem.
I also want to use this medium to implore to all and sundry to take cognizance of my freedom of thoughts and beliefs as enshrined in the universal fundamental human rights.
The Bible actually contributed to my spiritual awakening.
Know that the Bible is a collection of Religious myths, history, religious rituals, hallucinations and magic.
Lucifer is described as the most beautiful and intelligent of God's creations but when the white man brought religion to you, they depicted Lucifer as a Black horned monster just to ridicule Black people.
U got the racism inspired Christianity?
I know that God is a figure invented to solve the mystery behind creations.
But invoking God as central figure behind the creations will lead to another intelligent questions like :
Who created God?
Where did God come from?
Who have ever seen God?
Can God come out of nothing?
Is God really in Charge?
Or that natural forces are behind all the weather, climate changes we witness in our planet?
How can the tower of Babel be real?
How many meters of structure can humans be able to raise?
With what technology was the tower of Babel built with?
Where are the ruins of such magnificent structure?
Remember, when the Bible was written, they were no telescope, no spaceship, no cars, no aeroplane, no idea of space, other planet/ planetary bodies .
People had always thought that the sky is made of crystal stones until science discovered that it was really empty.
First of all, what supports life here on earth.
Soil, air, water, sun, force of gravity and other invisible forces are the physical conditions necessary for life to thrive here.
Get rid of water from the planet and life will cease to exist, same applies to air.
U see, we can't really explain as to how intelligent life, flowers, plants, animals of different varieties started from scratch, but invoking an invisible creator deity won't solve the mystery.
So, the Yahweh of the Bible is not different from any other gods found in all regions of the world.
Superstition begot myth and myth begot religion.
Nothing is really hidden.
Nature didn't conceal anything.
It's just that we have little understanding.
We truly have eyes but can't see, we have ears but can't hear.
My people perish for lack of knowledge.
Let me burst your bubble.
Jesus Christ tried to liberate his people from religious grips.
The Elites (Roman Rulers, scribes and the Pharisees) used religion to instil fear and control the masses.
But when Jesus Christ returned from India at the age of 30, remember he left around age 12 after the passover.
He is an ascended master
He joined group of merchants and traveled East to Nepal and India where he got more educated on Eastern philosophy.
Remember Sadhauta Gautama (Buddha) was born in India many years before the birth of Jesus Christ.
And Buddhism have spread wide in the South East Asia.
Jesus Christ got so much infuriated about the way the people were burdened with heavy religious rules and rituals.
Today, bring pigeon, tomorrow bring a bull, next other time bring your 1st son and first born animals.
Jesus Christ really liberated the people but they twisted his message in order for them to continue enslaving the people through religion.
He tried to enlighten them and liberate them, this got the Pharisees infuriated and they used his frequent saying that he is a God to accuse him of blasphemy.
Just so you know, Jesus Christ was a Jewish by religion/tradition
Though his teachings slightly deviated from the Fundamental doctrines of Judaism.
Hence, was asked severally by the scribes and Pharisees "Whether he came to uphold the law or condemn it"
He tried to separate the people from Religious yokes.
He told the people that they don't need the priests or any rituals but a pure heart to access the cosmic energy.
And that was when he mandated people to go into their houses, lock it up and pray silently (meditation) not shouting in the market places like the Pharisees (Religious show offs)
Jesus Christ was actually a Jewish man by tradition/religion.
But he is an enlightened being, he got extra sensory perceptions and powers.
His teachings contradicted that of Judaism, hence the contradiction between the Old and the New Testaments of the Bible.
And that's why many passages of the old testament are not read in the church.
The truth is that the God of the Bible that is good some cases and evil in some cases is not the God that most Christians believe today.
The God that most Christian believe is a perfect God, that is all good, with no evil.
This is just but a mental construct of God in our heads which is nothing but a mere fiction.
And if you look deeply with unbiased mind, you will realize that man actually invented God after his own image and likeness.
Having realized that he, man is the only dominant creature in the world in times of intelligence which have made him to develop languages/writings, build civilizations, invent technologies.
All these advantages over other creatures made man to conclude that God is likely like him.
In my next write up, " The Religion Shield"
I will explain how people have been compelled not to ask questions concerning Religion as a way to Shield it from Scrutiny.
Religion is built on falsehood, Conspiracy and ignorance.
Truth is coherent and logical.
U don't struggle to defend the Truth.
Cuz the truth is always convincing
The universe is orderly.
The Universe is Conscious
Nothing is Concealed.
Seek, you will find.
Ask, and you shall be given.
Open your mind to nothing but the truth.
Get rid of emotions and sentiments.
And you will be close to enlightenment.
No tragedy will befall you for asking curious questions concerning your faith.
The same way that God lied to Adam and Eve that they will die is the same way that Religion lie and threaten you not to ask questions for fear of tragedy or misfortune befalling you.
The truth is that you, asking thought provoking questions about religion will awaken you to the truth and religion will lose its value and grip on you.
Know the truth and truth shall set you free.

PaNnamdi:

U are another fellow who so much believes Russia and China possess threat to the USA but don't get it twisted.in a hypothetical battle or maybe a future looming conflict between USA Vs China/Russia the USA despite receiving some early bruises would come out in victory and crush both the Russians and chinkos completely

A war scenario between these three giants wouldn't be based on army to army rather it would be determined in two major spheres
Air
Ocean
America domination of these two space of the world is greatly unravelled
AIR
The Americans(air force army navy marine corps coast guard's) possess about 13,000 high tech jets and aircrafts and about 6,000 fighter jets. which dwafs both of the Russians and the Chinese combined I think Russians has less than two thousand aircrafts or so same with the chinese if combined they possess less than 5,000 aircrafts.and the Americans can produce double or triple of these aircrafts if need necessary and when they also find themselves in a total state of war.the Americans F-16/F-18/F-35/F-22s jets are all in good battle conditions and had been improved with the latest tech the world got to offer also note that the American main air domination fighter jet the stealthy F-22 is miles ahead of whatever aircrafts the Russians or Chinese would hype as a counter e.g su-57 or j-20.lol these two aircrafts can't match the US F-22s in terms or performance hence the Chinese and Russians decided to add Advanced EW abilities to their aircrafts while forgetting that the US are also upgrading their own air to air missile systems that their jets uses and are in plans to replace these missiles with lasers cheesy can u see a laser shot moving at a speed of light would cut and burn any overhyped Chinese and russian jets from the skies.the Russians and Chinese can't even mass produce their best jets su-35s/su-57 or j-20 in large numbers while the Americans already have hundreds or f22s and it's derivatives in service,the American AW systems would give the Americans great advantage in the aerial battle and their total knowledge of their positions thousands of km from their rivals while in the skies would see the Chinese and russian jets been knocked out of the skies without having at chance of getting close for their fancy maneuvers which might be their greatest strength cheesy .dont also forget the American most dangerous and undectable bomber aircraft the B-2 spirit would be on standby to carry out its nuclear bombing assignments in uttermost secrecy.russian advanced radars are struggling to detect the F-22s/F-35s how would they detect this powerful killer that can carry 100s of nuclear bombs in a single mission cheesy
also don't forget that the Americans has thousands of aircrafts in reserve such as the f-14 tomcats f-117 night hawks and others that can be refitted and upgraded with modern avionics to make them airworthy and letal in the air again

SEA
Any body that want to engage the US must first cross the Pacific oceans that is the first task that is where American deadly predators their advanced nuclear submarines comes into play.you see,the Americans would dominate the oceans easily and their powerful and hard to spot nuclear submarines would be sending down so many russian and Chinese ships to the nests of fishes below the ocean.america has the largest number of advanced nuclear submarines which dwaft the Chinese/Russians and the whole world navy combined.these submarines roam roam the earth oceans stealthly and undetected some can even launch nuclear ICBMs imagine canoes moving in a river filled with hungry crocodiles cheesy hundreds of Russian and Chinese ships would be sent to the deepest parts of mother earth.
I hope u have heard of the aegis and burke class destroyers in the US navy.these are the most advanced battle ships in the world that can engage targets both on sea land and air including ICBMs in space moving at hypersonic speeds.this isn't a hearsay it is proven fact.and also the American agents of force projection the aircraft carriers with can carry more than 100 fighter jets in war time would be out their in the seas in company of other Americans ships to assist in the aerial aspect of naval warfare flying sorties and shooting down enemy aircrafts and firing on enemy ships hundreds or km from range while keeping their naval ships and assets safe.america has about 12 major carriers and 30 more smaller but large carriers too.

Do u know russian and China have less than 3 aircraft carriers and a few numbers of nuclear submarines which are still in most aspects inferior to American tech cheesy how would these two navies engage USA in the naval battles.
That was why the Chinese overhyped a certain hypersonic weapon DF-21 as a solution to USA aircraft carrier claiming that it can hit and sink US aircraft carriers easily.bit do you know the USA had upgraded their missiles systems both for their land and naval assets to intercept hypersonic fancy missiles the Russians use for propaganda.the PAC 3 can now intercept hypersonic missiles.
One more thing the USA are even moving to use lasers not even missiles again just tell me how can hypersonic missile moving at a great speed less than the speed of light defeat a laser moving at a speed of light.

Russia are just mass producing nukes thinking that they are wise but the 9,000 nukes the Americans own are more than enough to even saturate the entire world so while mass producing and stokepilling nukes just as the Russians?it doesn't make sense.the Chinese too are struggling and set 2050 as a deadline for totally overtake USA millitary both the gap are so so so much that 2050 go come and go yet they are yet to achieve that aim.
USA had come a long way they know nobody can attack them hence they choose to be selfish

Their leaders selfish attitude towards world issues would affect them still no matter how strong they are because I can't have peace when everywhere around you is boiling and louding with violence.

Joe biden useless foreign policies is the major weakness of USA not millitary aspect

Now you want to talk about aircraft carriers and other slow boats, In a world of hypersonic missiles? wink

Appleyard:


Edited.

Your argument lacks logical deduction. In essence, you are saying for one to be relevant and be taking seriously, one has to be a "bully", right? If that's the case with your illogical assertion, I'm sorry to tell you that you made no sense.

It also shows that you know nothing about geopolitics and realpolitik.

That NATO and the US does interfer, invade, overthrow legitimate governments and destabilize nations everywhere is what certified their capabilities as a true power while the likes of Russia and China just sit within the periphery of their borders to deter threats without making concerted moves is what make them irrelevant means you're reasoning like a kid.

NATO was designed to serve US hegemonic influence of world domination. Russia's geopolitical interest lies within the periphery of it's formal Soviet space, with a flinch down the Mediterranean from the Black Sea, pivoting towards the East of Europe and Asia.

So while Russia will sit docile on most international conflicts, it won't hesitate to act decisively where it's national interests cum geopolitical red lines are threatened.

Iraq and Libya are strong Russian business allies but Russia did nothing to help them when the US led NATO missions invaded and turn these countries into rubbles today. Apart from weapons sold to them, Russia did not intervene because they serve no geopolitical core interest for Russia as a geopolitical power.

So Russia acquiesced even to the bombing of Libya and from then, the West took the initiative and, mistaking the Russian passivity as weakness, they opened another front door in their hegemonic quest for control of resources and power...by destabilizing Ukraine and sponsoring revolution in Syria. The primary goal was to make Ukraine a NATO member and the price for that was Sevastopol and the Crimean naval ports where NATO ships would be stationed. The goal for Syria was to get a pipeline via Turkey and Israel that would pass through Syria into Europe to cut off the Russian gas leverage.

And they got the shocker of their lives.

Russia did not only outflanked NATO in Syria and in Ukraine but it took Crimea and annealed the CIA sponsored colour coded revolution in both countries. After giving a one hour clear-the-air notice to the US military command in the Middle East stationed in Iraq, the next day saw Russian forces launching kaliber cruise missiles from submarines hundreds of miles away in the Mediterranean sea while Russian fighter planes started bombing the NATO sponsored and equipped terrorists in Syria, thereby establishing itself as grandmaster of the geopolitical game.

The ediots could only sit and watch while US polithiefcians wailed and demand explanations from the US army on how come Russia was able to deploy it's forces so fast. cool (because they always believe that Russia has nothing to offer militarily aside nukes). Till date, Assad is still in power and Ukraine can't join the EU let alone being a NATO member because Russia acted when the West crossed its redlines.

So, let this sink into your mind. NATO can make moves wherever they liked, but once they cross another Russian red line, even Satan would be shocked what the Russians would do.

History tells us that those who dared crossed the Russian geopolitical redlines never returned alive or remain the same to tell the tales. Georgia, Ukraine and Syria are prime recent examples that confirmed historical truths about Russia.

Those of you kids who thinks that Russia is irrelevant just because you don't press a Russian made smartphone or you are not opportuned to be zombified by a Russian version of Hollywood, which decieved you that life started and ends in America, better pray that the idiots in political suits in the West don't drive Russia to nut one day because your entire existence might depends on it.

Don't bother replying me.
you hit the nail on the head here Sir. Africans are so drunk on western propaganda we need to find ourselves again and take our rightful place in the world.
No collective interest, just Caucasian worshipping

I hope you know that Turkey already paid for the F35s? The reason US is refusing to deliver the aircrafts to turkey is to pressure them to go for American Air defense systems rather than Russian.
The official reason given was that the S400 will compromise the F35 systems and it is not compatible with NATO's systems.
Unofficially, it is all about securing the market for US defense industry. The same reason why the CAATSA was passed. Same reason they hijacked the Australian submarine deal from France. Had it been that turkey hadn't spent a dime in the F-35 program, it would have been a different story entirely.

They are rogue nations that kill in hundreds of thousands and answers to nobody.

Just look at how they threatened the ICC when cases of war crimes were brought against their troops. Israel is literally an apartheid state.
