FreeStuffsNG: The damage inflicted by Iran on US military bases in the Persian Gulf region, including from a successful attack on a US base by an Iranian fighter jet, is far worse than publicly acknowledged by the White House, NBC News reported on 26 April.
The attacks struck warehouses, command headquarters, aircraft hangars, satellite communications infrastructure, runways, high-end radar systems, and dozens of aircraft, the US officials told NBC. Trump and his proxy inside Occupied Palestine recieved serious beatings from Iran but censored the news.
So much cans of worms will be opened by the time Trump is impeached and the Democrats take over.
NBC news is owned by the Democrats, they'll say anything against Trump.
Let's say Iran truely damaged a US base (which is farfetched), Compare that to what Iran has lost:
Babangidapikin: The issue of Mali is simple you have two sets of people who aren't of the same nature , it's either you have a gentleman power sharing agreement or you divide the country. So much is been spent on weapons that could have been use to better the lives of their citizens.
True, many nations like Finland, Iceland and Norway, spend more on human development than military.
These nations have the lowest poverty rate and highest prosperity rate, even higher than the US, China and UK that has higher GDP than them.
Russia has just lost another refinery and oil depot. Ukrainian drone attack has set another Russian refinery and major oil transport on fire. Aljezeal reporting.
WBAMAKO – Not long ago, Mali made a bold move to take back its future. Many people praised the military leaders for taking over the government. It was seen as a way for Mali to finally be free from the influence of Western countries and run its own house. By taking charge, the military showed the world that Mali wanted to stand on its own two feet.
But while the takeover was about being "free," the government’s next big step is now being called a "Major Mistake." This mistake was signing a deal with Russia and letting them build military bases in the country.
Mali thought Russia would help keep the country safe from terrorists. Instead, several big problems have appeared:
1. Running Instead of Fighting: When the latest attacks hit the capital and other cities, the Russian soldiers didn't stay to protect the people. Instead of defending Mali, many reports show they started withdrawing to save themselves.
2. A False Sense of Security: Mali gave up a lot of control to get Russian help, but when the country needed them most, the Russian "shield" wasn't there.
3. Targeting the Leaders: Because Russia was involved, the rebels became even more aggressive, leading to the tragic death of Mali’s own Defense Minister.
By trusting a foreign power that leaves when things get tough, Mali may have traded one type of outside control for a much more dangerous one. Would you like to know more about which cities are currently under threat following the Russian withdrawal?
The question remains: Has the US ever keep silent if their host nation is being attacked?

Three top Chinese AI firms have been told to reject US-origin capital without government approval. The directive reshapes how Washington money reaches Beijing's strategic technology champions.
The instructions were issued by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in recent weeks. Bloomberg first reported the guidance on Friday.
Beijing Cuts Off US Capital For Its AI Giants ByteDance, TikTok's parent and China's most valuable private startup, was told to block US secondary share sales without state clearance.
The instruction carries weight given ByteDance's complex ownership structure and pool of US institutional backers. Any secondary liquidity now funnels through Beijing.
Moonshot AI, considering a Hong Kong listing, was told to refuse US capital in funding rounds and deals without approval.
The restriction complicates pre-IPO planning for a firm widely seen as China's answer to OpenAI. Any foreign allocation will likely tilt toward Middle Eastern and Hong Kong investors.
StepFun, a Tencent-backed startup focused on multimodal and generative AI, received the same guidance as Moonshot. The company is less globally known but ranks among Beijing's strategic AI champions.
Why China Is Gating Its AI Firms The guidance follows Meta Platforms' roughly $2 billion acquisition of Singapore-based Manus, a startup with deep Chinese engineering roots.
Beijing imposed exit restrictions on the co-founders of Manus and reviewed the deal for potential technology export violations.
On Wednesday, White House science director Michael Kratsios accused Chinese entities of running industrial-scale campaigns to extract US AI models.
"Foreign entities who build on such fragile foundations should have little confidence in the integrity and reliability of the models they produce," he stated.
The Trump administration signaled new enforcement against firms using model distillation, according to reports.
The capital divide between Washington and Beijing looks set to deepen. Beijing may formalize the guidance into a published regulation over the coming weeks.

Reuters DeepSeek unveils new AI model tailored for Huawei chips as China pushes for tech autonomy
FILE PHOTO: China's DeepSeek trained AI model on Nvidia's best chip despite US ban, official says · Reuters Eduardo Baptista, Ethan Wang and Che Pan Fri, April 24, 2026 at 4:11 AM GMT+1 4 min read
BEIJING, April 24 (Reuters) - DeepSeek, the Chinese startup whose low-cost AI model stunned the world last year, launched on Friday a preview of a highly awaited new model adapted for Huawei chip technology, underlining China's growing autonomy in the sector.
The Pro version of the new model outperforms other open-source models in world-knowledge benchmarks, trailing only Google's closed-source Gemini-Pro-3.1, DeepSeek said.
The close collaboration with Huawei on the new model, the V4, contrasts with DeepSeek's past reliance on Nvidia's AI chips. Huawei said its chips were used in some of the V4's training process.
"This is a big deal for China's AI industry," said He Hui, director of semiconductor research at consultancy Omdia.
"Huawei's Ascend chips are the country's best homegrown alternative to Nvidia, and supporting DeepSeek V4 shows that top Chinese AI models can now run on Chinese hardware."
Most leading AI models are trained and run on chips made by Nvidia. And DeepSeek's pivot to Huawei underscores concerns raised by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang that the U.S. firm risks losing its developer ecosystem in China due to U.S. export controls and Beijing's push for self sufficiency.
"The day that DeepSeek comes out on Huawei first, that is a horrible outcome for our nation," Huang said on a podcast this month.
The V4 is the fastest model to trend at the top spot on Hugging Face, a popular developer forum for sharing and running machine learning models, said Lewis Tunstall, a machine learning engineer at Hugging Face.
It is good at handling extremely long and complex text tasks, and it does so much more cheaply than competing top models, but has some limitations. For instance, it doesn't support multiple modalities like images and video, Tunstall said.
HUAWEI AND DEEPSEEK'S CLOSE COLLABORATION
DeepSeek has drawn criticism from Washington and U.S. rivals that its success owes much to the improper use of American know-how.
For its part, DeepSeek has acknowledged the use of Nvidia chips but has not said whether those chips were subject to export bans. It has also said it has not intentionally used synthetic data generated by OpenAI.
Friday's launch comes a day after the White House accused China of stealing U.S. AI labs' intellectual property on an industrial scale, and ahead of a visit by U.S. President Donald Trump to Beijing next month to meet with China's leader, Xi Jinping.
The Trump administration in January gave the green light for Nvidia's powerful H200 chips to be sold in China but sources have said that shipments have been stymied by disagreements over the terms of the sales both in China and the U.S.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Chief Executive Jensen Huang used a brief remark to reinforce the company's positioning in artificial intelligence, saying, Not one company can match Nvidia's performance per dollar, during a recent podcast discussion.
Nvidia framed the comment around total cost of ownership, or TCO, which includes hardware, power, cooling and software costs rather than just chip pricing. Nvidia indicated its systems may deliver higher AI output per dollar when these factors are considered.
Bro, all these just proof my point.

Further proving my point.
To simplify this argument that China don't create advance chips, answer just one question:
Why do Chinese automobile companies buy 90% of their chips from EUROPE and South Korea and not from their nation CHINA?
CHINESE MADE CHIPS CAN'T BE USED ON CARS AND PHONES.
Ukraine has increased attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure as the U.S., which had brokered peace talks to stop the conflict with Russia, has shifted its focus to the war in Iran.
According to Russian officials, attacks on April 16 and April 20 on the city of Tuapse damaged transport infrastructure at the port and set oil product storage on fire.

I feel guilty leaving you without evidence.
1. China 2nd largest in output( but low quality chips.)
Chinese Chips can't handle cars and phones or laptops. That's why 90% of Chinese car companies buys Chips from Europe instead of China (Since USA won't sell them).
China don't produce advanced chips . (You can verify this with info from Chinese auto companies online) It's Not Something They Deny.
2 . Taiwan and South Korea are Miles ahead of China in creating advance Chips
3. The US is the leading Semiconductor chips producers (about 70%)
4. President Xi plead with Trump because China tech companies were facing shortages as their chips and are laggy.

You searched, you saw, you deny.
1. Why would China (the top chip producing nations according to you) Plead with USA (the top 5 chip producing Nation according to you) to allow them to buy chips from them.
You don see top 1 producer dey ever beg top 5 producers before
2. Why would Chinese Car Makers buy their chips majorly from European company and NOT FROM CHINESE CHIP COMPANIES.
Top 1 country car makers no gree buy from their own country abi
Kushites: YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE A STREET VAGABOND IF YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT OF A COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY A NUCLEAR POWER LIKE THE USA.
THE LIVES OF BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON EARTH DEPEND ON YOUR ACTIONS.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DISCIPLINED, RESPECTFUL, TRUSTWORTHY, NOT WILD, IGNORING INTERNATIONAL LAW, LAUNCHING ILLEGAL INVASIONS, VICIOUS, GENOCIDAL, AND THREATENING ARMAGEDDON IF PEOPLE DON'T OBEY YOU.
Trump has always threatened missiles but never once threatened nukes.
But the fool Putin has been shouting nuke, nuke nuke for 5 years now. He finally shut up when Europe seized about 4 trillion of Russian assets.
Putin now understands he's not the only one with nuke.
erico2k2: 1 Yes they do, If you know about chips you wont even compare, do you think Nvidia can make chips for the international space station? or the Early warning systems the US army has for its defence? or chips for infra red devices ?Nvidia is for computers and graphics 2 The Highest chip producing nations are in this order 1[b] Taiwan[/b] 2 China 3 South Korea 4 the whole EU 5 the USA 3 NO, China is only Behind Taiwan in chip making, its above South Korea. you can do your own research if you think I am talking lobish.
Bro I said:
Post the screenshot of your research here
Not this bias BS.
Even President Xi plead with Trump for China to buy chips from The US.. Why would he do that if they could make Chip themselves?
If you're sure China is no.1 Post the screenshot of your research here I'm waiting.
Research part 2: If China creates advance Chips:
1. "Why did president Xi plead with Trump last year to allow China buy chips from USA?"
2. Why do Chinese car companies majorly buy chips from Europe instead of China?
Razzness: War is not 1+1; just because you defeated a person militarily doesn't mean you automatically win. America won almost every single battle against the Taliban in Afghanistan, but did they win the war? No. Same thing in Iraq, same in Vietnam.
Iran cannot win a one-on-one battle against the US military, and I don't think they are even trying to. That's why they have resorted to asymmetric warfare, in which they hurt America's allies and the global economy enough to make America back off.
Simple logic: I come to your nation, destroy everything, cripple your economy, destroy your oil, Kill almost all the politicians and military commanders.
That means I still didn't win, okay oh.
Vietnam is what it is because of the US intervention. (Plus France and China also attacked Vietnam at that same time, but everybody is talking about only the US)
Afghanistan was not a war, it was a military operation not against the nation or president but against Taliban. Biden pull them out because Afghanistan president wasn't helping financially.
erico2k2: No sire, I do not work in a mining company, I am a fluid Engineer, so we fix any Engine that uses fluids, manly Hydraulics, so the mining industries are one of the heaviest users of hydraulics same as the oil and gas industries, anyway back to the topic DID you manage to read about what I asked ? Because if you did, you will get a better understanding and not assume? What do you thin are in these chips? when the world is going about chips, you think the talking computer chips? That's the ABC chips ,In Engineering the chips have gone way past PC and gamming chips, We talking EV, and Energy processors, Space craft and fighter Jets and telecommunication .these do not rely on Silicon ,they use Gallium and Germanium, Reason It has High Electron mobility and is faster in switches, so stuff like The Iron Doom of Israel will have this kind of chip, Guess who accounts for 90% of the worlds Gallium and its relative elements? CHINA As for rare Earth minerals, I don't know what is going on with you browser but a simple google search should have told you China has the highest deposit of rare earth minerals to help here is a Link https://investingnews.com/daily/resource-investing/critical-metals-investing/rare-earth-investing/rare-earth-reserves-country/ 1 China 44 million metric tones 2 Brazil 21 million metric tones 3 India 6.9 million metric tones 4 Australia 5.7 million metric tones 5 Russia 3.8 6 Vietnam 3.5 7 the USA 1.9 Million metric tones, and is only found in the California mountains. Bross this is a field I know very well, if you calm down you will learn a great deal, don't believe the whole hype ,China is way ahead in lot of things don't play with them. Now you are talking Nvidia chips, the best chip they have is for gaming, but you really want to compare a graphic chips to an AI powered chip that power infrared devices ie anti aircraft systems and missiles like Nimriods?or the AI chips that powers EVs and 5G?
Bro, I beg, go online, search:
1. Does China Create Nvidia level of Chips.
2. Highest chip producing nations
3. Is China behind Taiwan and South Korea in Chip making.
Horus: A psychological examination should be conducted on Trump by qualified clinical psychiatrists to understand Trump's mental health, behavior, personality, and cognitive abilities. They should identify his mental health conditions and determine appropriate treatment
You sound so pained and angry No be your nation oh
Razzness: We are talking about the war; you are bringing up how their women dress. How does that affect us? That's the problem with you religious folks; you view everything through a religious lens, with no objectivity whatsoever.
As things stand, even though Iran's military is no match for the US and Israel, they find themselves in a strategic position of having leverage over the entire world. Think about this: imagine if Ukraine had similar leverage over the global economy; do you think the world would sit back and allow Russia to pound them like this? Obviously not. But because the war does not affect anybody outside of Ukraine, everybody is just sympathizing with Ukraine from a distance.
Now with Iran, the story is very different; everybody is feeling it (fuel went from N790 to N1300) in less than a month. How often do you see the US or Israel doing a cease-fire? Almost never. If they commit to a war, they usually see it through even if it takes several years. But with Iran the stakes are too high; that's why they negotiated a ceasefire.
military lose 150 ships and half of their Commanders but na them dey win.
Iran decided to fire bullets yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz — A Total Violation of our Ceasefire Agreement! Many of them were aimed at a French Ship, and a Freighter from the United Kingdom. That wasn’t nice, was it?
My Representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan — They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations. Iran recently announced that they were closing the Strait, which is strange, because our BLOCKADE has already closed it. They’re helping us without knowing,
and they are the ones that lose with the closed passage, $500 Million Dollars a day! The United States loses nothing.
In fact, many Ships are headed, right now, to the U.S., Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to load up, compliments of the IRGC, always wanting to be “the tough guy!”
We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran.
NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They :-they’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honor to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END!
erico2k2: You see bro I like to talk about things I know about only, others I leave and learn, I work largely in the mining sector cos the vast majority of their machines are driven by fluids Hydraulics, so I am a fluid Engineer, where ever a machine that uses fluids go I go , try and google and research on these two main components of Semiconductors, then we can continue the conversation these two, Gallium and Germanium plz China accounts for 80% plz have a look Im waiting
You work in a mining company and;
1. you don't know that China don't have rare earth metals, that they buy from Congo and Rwanda.
2. You don't know China can't create bluechip/Nvidia level of Chip for PCs and laptops. Bro, which level?
Alright Answer These Questions
If China can Create high level Chips, then:
1. Why did Xi plead with Trump last year to lift the Chip embargo on China?
2. Why do Chinese automobile companies buys their chip predominantly from Nexperia in Netherlands, and don't buy from their nation China?
3. Why did China rush to buy $1 billion worth of Chip from USA when Trump gave them a 6 month opening to buy?
Why do Chinese Car companies buy their chip from Europe instead of buying from China
Razzness: You are delusional if you can't see that Iran has established itself as a regional power at least. The Iranian government is structured in such a way that it does not revolve around individuals. Every single leader or general that was killed has been replaced by people with the same principles and ideology. In essence, the regime has survived the onslaught of not just Israel but also the US.
Everything Iran lost in this war, from drones to missiles and infrastructure, can be replenished in 10-20 years. They have the technical know-how, money, and political will; these are the most important things. Netanyahu understands this better than anyone; it would even be better if they didn't fight this war in the first place than to end it with this same Iranian regime still in control. They will be more emboldened, vengeful, and motivated than they were before.
Additionally, with their control over the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has found itself a weapon probably more effective than a nuclear weapon. They can close and reopen the strait anytime they so wish, just as we have seen these past few weeks. In fact, it was their closure that led Trump to order Netanyahu to stand down in Lebanon.
this is laughable
Let me just cut the argument short.
Do you know that 10,000 naira is 9.5 million in Iranian currency. That's the weight of bad governmence.
The government enrich themselves and destroy their nation.
Right now, with their new Supreme leader MIA, there is a power struggle. These guys don't agree on one thing.
1. Iran President say "No more shooting Saudi and Dubai, they're our Muslim brothers" 5 hour later their Revolutionary Guards shots at Saudi
2. President and ministers say "India can pass" yesterday, they shot at 3 Indian tankers
3. President form alliance with China, their Revolutionary Guards turn 3 Chinese ships away
4. President and ministers sees Pakistan as allies, Their military attacked Pakistan ship 2 weeks ago.
The thing you read online is just rubbish use as a defense for losing the war.
Obrigardo: This man hasn't prosecuted one of the pedophiles, criminals and evil men exposed in the epstein files. He hasn't even acknowledged his involvement and deep ties with epstein or found restitution. He has killed children and overseen the destruction of towns and cities and also allowed the IDF to commit unwanton evil with the weapons and money he sends to them from US taxpayers money.
Doesn't this look like a joke to you Nigerian Christians who still support this man?
This is ridiculous, Jesus Christ!
Bro Trump is not in the Epstein files, in fact he was the one that got Epstein arrested in 2009.
He is the one who released the files, he's not the FBI or police.
As for you. 1. Iran leader has killed 65000 people just for protesting.
2. Iran leaders arrested 100 reporters last year for reporting protesters being killed.
3. Iran arrested a all the leaders who created the Women Empowerment Program last year.
4. Iranians has being protesting since 2009 because of tyranny and bad government for 47 years.
Plus; Iran government is so bad that 10,000 naira is 9.5 million in Iranian currency.
This is the government you support, ARE YOU NOT ASHAMED
