I believe Putin knows that he must respond decisively by attacking NATO allies if Ukraine fire those missiles deep into Russia. Putin already said they will respond if Ukraine fire those western supplied missiles.

I saw BRICS news on Twitter where China also said they will support Russia if the war escalates, so we are potentially looking at WW3.

My thinking is that Putin will likely retaliate against NATO using nuclear weapons, because using conventional missiles may not be as effective to produce the needed impact.

The whole world will be badly affected if all the parties do not begin to de-escalate now.

pansophist:
I'm wondering what would be Russia's response if Ukraine strike deep into Russian territory with long range weapons supplied and coordinated by Nato.

As it seems now, the West has written Ukraine off as a collateral damage. Ukraine's only usefulness is to harm Russia as much as possible.

So Russia's retaliation on Ukraine doesn't hurt the West whatsoever. Ukraine is the ultimate shield to western aggression.

I also wonder if supplying long range weapons to western adversaries is a good move either. Russia should accept that it's a war between nato and them. And they have to pull all gloves off and go all in.

The weather strategy is to test the redline of Russia, and if it's a bluff, then they will increase their aggression. Until it gets to a point where striking Russia nuclear facilities becomes a norm, because Russia will not dare attack them directly.

If you're Putin, what will you do now? Remember, you must hurt the puppeteer, not the puppet.

Start from episode one.

Thanks a lot.

Please where can I find the videos to watch? YouTube?

I dey fine o.

For the past weeks, I have been binge-watching ww2 series, especially the invasion of the USSR by nazi Germany.

From ''operation Barbarossa'', to ''operation Bragation'', to the battle of Stalingrad, to the ''parade of the vanquished'', and the capture of Berlin.

I keep wondering, what the hell gave Hitler the belief that he could defeat the USSR—given the population, size, and battle hardened people of the USSR?

I think the same belief is what Nato is drunk under, hence they keep Poking Russia and want to try again to defeat Russia like their ancestors tried. Just that this time, even if they defeat Russia, mutually assured destruction is guaranteed. The ''Dead hand'' system exists for a reason.

It is difficult not to respect the Red Army for the price they paid, and anyone with common sense who can think independently can see it. These guys saved the world for things we don't even know may happen to the rest of us who are weak (especially in Africa).

Surprisingly for all my close to five years of interest in geopolitics, I am just hearing about ''the parade of the vanquished''. I didn't know Hitler's defeated soldiers were paraded in Moscow in such a shameful way. The mainstream has done well to hide it. It was such a shame. No wonder Hitler committed suicide.

Not as effective in my opinion. Especially with lead generation.

@ sexy monkey ,@biggal ,@maak400
I sent a mail to golab since monday requesting my trancript. I am yet to get a response. I decided to chat them up and this was the tesponse i got.....

There won't be separate transcripts. Download certificates directly from platform and be prepared to show them on next january when there will be possibility to apply as degree student.

Dealing with transcripts is old info. It has been changed.

sexymonkey:
my major hope is for the certificate to be acceptable in other countries sha.

When will they even make the certificate available sef?

Bro, let me give you advice from experience. Women don't want men who treat them special.

Even though they tell you they want to be treated like a treasure, they actually despise men who treat them special, they prefer the men who treat them like ordinary person. Your wife actually wants you to be firm and set boundaries for her, she wants you to scold her when she's wrong.

Don't do house chores, they actually don't respect men who cleans the house. Let her know that you will send her packing if she mess up, let her know that you can do without her. You should actually be able to ignore her for days and reject her food. If she doesn't give a fvck about you, despite rejecting her food and ignoring her, then you should not have such woman as your wife.

Again, women only say they want a caring man, it's actually a lie, they will disrespect the caring man and respect the man who doesn't give a fvck about them.

ScotHarvath:
Sex is another issue, I always have to beg for it and when I raised the issue in anger she said I can be going to get it from other girls.

I really don’t think most Nigerian girls deserve or want a cool headed man. They will show you shege.

Thinking back and seeing only the things I did I can only can myself a fool. Helping with the chores, helping with the kids, revealing everything about my finances to her, standing up to her family for once admonishing her, spending too much time with her and trying to make her my everything.


Friends have taught me a lot in this life which I why I chose to avoid friends and focus on my wife and family but this woman is making those same guys I abandoned for her call me a fool.


If there’s an altercation, she turns on off the TV and sound system so the neighbors can hear everything.


Is it wrong to be a good man and want your wife to be your best friend.

If this marriage finally fails, the next woman I will date will see another version of me

Is this the course transcript?

How do we go about it?

I just saw the email too. They should at least provide us with the Diploma certificate and official transcript they promised.

It's been more than a year of rigorous study on their platform and to now close the whole thing without getting their certificate will be a waste of time. Hopes dashed just like that. It is well.

@pansophist, LAB UAS is closing down the platform.

Bulaba 🌽 is worse than cancer. He has destroyed Nigeria beyond imagination. I never thought another person could perform worse than Bubu.

What can you say about Lahti Finland pls?

Ggetter50:
The Reality of Living In Finland.

I will try to write based some common questions people are asking here.

Taxes

Someone said you pay 40% taxes in Finland. €400 from a €2000 salary. Well, in Finland, everyone doesn't pay the same tax. You pay tax based on what you declare at the tax office. When you get a job as a new comer, your employer will ask you for what is called "tax card" which you will get from the tax offer (Vero skatt). Now, before you get this card, you will be asked at the tax office to declare or estimate how much you think you are likely to earn in a year. Your tax percentage will now be set based on your estimated annual income. For example, I know someone who is paying 17% tax on €30,000 annual income.

Now, if at the end of the year you happen not to earn up to that €30,000, government will refund you back some money simply because it means you have been deducted an excess tax of 17% which is meant for that €30k and whereas you did not earn up to that. Otherwise, if you warn more than this amount that you declare, then you will be the one that will pay money back to the government. So, it is advisable to declare more money so that you won't be the one paying back some money or big tax % henceforth for the following year. Let's say, you will be earning €1500 every month, that is (€1500× 12 = €18k per year). Don't declare €18k to the tax office, it is safe to declare €25k per year.

Job in Finland

There is no doubt about institutionally racism as it is almost impossible to have an office job in Finland. The readily available job that one can do in Finland is mainly Cleaning 🧹 job. That's just the reality. In fact, more than 50% of foreigners from third countries will probably do cleaning job or have done it before - (Statistically I may not be correct). There are other jobs like delivery job (not easily accessible again), Caregiver (mostly given to Nurses), Taxi (Need a taxi licence) and IT (You must be really good at it, not really entry level o) and Dishwashing. From 2021, Finland has been chewing more than what they can consume, hence, the reason for tough time finding even cleaning job now. Holding a PhD or Finnish passport as a foreigner doesn't stop you from doing meanial job. My advice for anyone is to learn any IT skills for better remote job opportunity even while living in Finland. Europe generally is all about minimalistic lifestyle, but better welfare.

Tips: If your school fees is between 8 - €10k per year and you have no scholarship but only relying to work and pay tuition, you will likely get stressed and suffer. In fact, you may not finish that studies.

Weather

If you passionately hate cold, you will eventually hate Finland. Almost six months of winter ❄️, so get prepared for cold dark winter. Throughout last week, it was all average of -25°C. Just getting better now at -12°C.


NOTE: This post is only to save you from shock when you get to Finland. You can only tag this as a discouraging post only if you are a hater of the truth. Besides, Finland still remain one of the best countries in the world.

Here's the update from the goLAB team this morning.
---------------------------------------------------------
Pathway studies status update.

In case you're currently waiting for the course transcripts, and/or you're planning on applying through the pathway studies, this information is for you:
There will be a separate application procedure for SSE pathway students. The details of this are currently being worked out. For now, it is not needed to apply under the "application besed on open UAS studies". We will provide more information when we have more details.

Sincerely
Saku Syngelmä and the goLAB team
-----------------------------------------------------------

I would say let's trust that they will provide a separate application procedure for SSE pathway students as promised.

Exactly bro, na serious k-leg. I'm not even putting my mind there again, I'll rather start exploring other options.

sexymonkey:

Let's be realistic at this point in order not to be disappointed. If you really like Finland, get your sat/ielts and apply for another program cos this SSE don dey get k-leg

There won't be year 2, the goLAB path studies is just for 1 year. We'll get certificate for the 1 year pathway studies.

biggal:
Let me drop my deductions here

We will continue and finish year 2 online, go to Lahti for exchange program in year 3 and do project there in year 4. The program will be free

We should not be using their full name as how?


Thanks for the update.

biggal:
This is the response this morning. Seems our case is giving them sleepless nights. Lol.
Pls let's not be using their full name here again ooo




Hi!

Sorry about the delay, we hit a bit of a roadblock with these momentarily, and we've having discussions about the issue with other members of LAB staff. We'll post an update on the Talent page as soon as things move forward.

We will probably be able to use the SSE Pathway studies to apply for another program in LAB Uni if the SSE degree is no longer possible.

Since they said "But don't worry about application time. This will be separate process.", I want to believe they will find a way for us to apply.

@oby333,
Thanks for the above information. We await their email. They didn't give us adequate information about the program from the start. This goLAB thing is new and they seem to be operating separately from the main admission office of LAB University. I believe they are trying to see how to bring in the pathway students into the degree program, the program is not yet officially part of LAB university. My thoughts.

They said the current admission is not right for us. I also had a chat with them today. I'll say let's all wait for their email and not bother them too much.
