Foreign AffairsRe: RUSSIA Has Vowed To SINK British Warships The Next They Sail Too Close To Crimea by mach7(m):
Funny thing with the British is that they aren't any match to Russia.

Either economically or militarily.

They are just like a pebble stuck in the sole of your shoe, a nuisance.

Foreign AffairsRe: US Navy Fires Thousands Of Pounds Of Explosives To Test Aircraft Carrier( Pic) by mach7(m): 5:24pm On Jun 21, 2021
This is a test, and it is quite different from battle conditions.

No enemy will aim to strike waters around the carrier.

The carrier itself will be the target.

Foreign AffairsRe: President Joe Biden And Vladimir Putin's Geneva's Summit Meeting - In Pictures by mach7(m): 2:47pm On Jun 17, 2021
Funny that Vladimir Putin took questions from Random journalists even those from Europe and America.

Joe Biden the brilliant only took questions from pre appointed reporters and guess what; all were Americans or working for American govt owned outlets i.e. Radio Free Europe.

Who is hiding what?

Also Joe Biden's comments in his press conference were just horrendous. Who doesn't know that America consistently interferes in the internal affairs of other nations. So sad

Sheffdon:
has russia sent any spacecraft to mars yet?
The Soviet Union sent the first set of probes and orbiters to Mars in the early 1970s.

They were the first to land successfully on Mars and capture the first images of Martian surface.

However several missions after that including the latest ones done with Phobos Grunt wasn't successful. That doesn't diminish the impact that Russia/Soviet Union had in space exploration.

Incompetent Chinese. They only know how to copy they can never solve any problem. This rocket debris is something they can't solve. Na only copy them sabi.

They are waiting for other countries to perfect the China virus Vaccines so they can copy. They had the first outbreak but because the blockheads didn't see who to copy from, they couldn't come up with a vaccine.
The Chinese might be many things, but incompetent isn't one of them.

So it is already been exported.

China will not get the s-500.
Not anytime soon.
S400 and S500 are different bro. China was among the first set of nations to purchase the S400.

S500 is still under development.

More like face saving for the Russians.

Why do you think Russia is reluctant to sell their latest S-500 SAMs to China.?
What's the face saving for, I am not a Russian nah cheesy

The Chinese were given licence to reproduce the AL-31F and AL-25T engines used in the Russian Sukhoi jets. Whether, the Chinese went beyond that scope and began directly copying it, is a matter for another day. Afterall, the Chinese also produce WS-9 engines under licence from Rolls Royce and they are also accused of copying beyond scope.

With regards to the S500, it is still in final phases of development. Hence issue of who or not to sell it to is not valid yet. Also note that no country sells the exact same specs of arms that they use internally to others. Whatever will be sold to the Chinese or any other buyer will be heavily modified.

It's not fake though.
The Egyptians were brilliant.
They were the oyibo of their time.

Rome happened to them. Their library was burnt and their best brains carted away.

The same thing happened to Germany.
German science was the real base of European science.

They were crushed in world war2 and their best brains carted away to America and the rest of Western Europe.
America owe it's rocket technology to Germany.
America and Russia owe the Nuke tech to Germans.
America got the tech first, Russia stole it from them after.

Scientists like Fritz Haber that discovered the industrial production of ammonia committed suicide because he was also responsible for the creation of many chemical agents used by Hitler.

Albert Einstein was poached by America.

The difference between Germany and Egypt was that the same people that plundered Germany rebuilt it again and restored their intellectual standing.

Egypt did not have that luck.
The bolded is wrong.

Both the Americans and Russians developed nukes independently without any German involvement. The Americans developed theirs with support of the British and Canadians. The Russians developed theirs solely, but had spies in the American (Manhattan Project) to double check their work.

What the Americans gained from the Germans is rocket technology. You are correct on that.

That's why the USA is called world leader. China and Russia can only manufacture viruses and nuks.
Interesting, but the same Russians you disparage made the Mig25 and Mig31 interceptor aircraft which are both twice the speed of sound at Mach2.5.

Laurene:
Collins, Cassidy and Sasse isn't contesting until 2026, as they just won reelection. They may even retire willingly if they senses a dwindling support by then. Romney's is in 2024. He's even getting old and may even retire also. If Romney contests again, he'll be primaried. That is if Trump still maintains his cult followship among Republicans by then.
primaries are different from general election. If Romney escapes the primary, he'll surely get reelected as independents would vote overwhelmingly for him.
Very true, thanks for the date correction. Thought the 4 I mentioned were up in '22. Gonna be hard to unseat Romney though, even through primaries. Let's see how things develop.

is it Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Pat Toomey, Lisa murkowski, Bill Cassidy, Richard Burr?

how would they win the primary?

they are already being censured in their local State and home Republican party.

they could even lose their primaries, I'm sure of Lisa murkowski.
Burr and Toomey are already retiring. But Trump will certain primary Collins, Murkowski, Sasse and Cassidy in 2022. Romney I think is safe because he has a strong base amongst the Mormons of Utah. Trump's hold on the Republican party at the moment is very strong.

This herdsmen issue requires new strategies and a new way of thinking.

The SW governors need to put on their thinking caps fast otherwise, this will escalate out of hand.

Maybe it's time to practice "divide and rule" amongst them. Find out the sensible ones and use them to weed out the insensible ones. When they are done fighting amongst themselves, you can deal with the "sensible" remainder in an appropriate manner; either accomodating them or outright expulsion.
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Says It Is Ready To Cut Ties With The European Union by mach7(m): 10:02am On Feb 13, 2021
The politics of the EU in general is hypocritical and Borell in particular is a big hypocrite.

He went to Moscow with the specific intent of "pretending to strengthen ties" by dictating to Russia how to manage it's internal affairs. The Russians through Lavrov, their Foreign Minister, told him politely to go and pound sand.

Navalny committed a criminal offence by scamming a company called Yves Roucher in conjunction with his brother. His brother was sentenced to prison but Navalny was given a suspended sentence because of his "political exposure". The terms of the suspended sentence mandated him to visit a Probation officer in a court every month and failing that his suspended sentence will be translated to a real one.

Voila, Navalny in his wisdom claimed he was poisoned by Novichok. His German doctors without evidence claimed it was placed on a water bottle. Navalny himself via a joke call with an alleged FSB officer claimed it was placed on his underpants. Who should be believed? Remember that Novichok is this very deadly nerve poison that kills instantly. Yet, Navalny survived and previously Skripal survived.

Fast forward to after Navalny being discharged from hospital in Germany with a clean bill of health in December. He was requested to return to Russia as part of the terms of his suspended sentence, but he refused. Only for him to majestically decide to come to Russia in January with a fake video of Putin's palace, a doctored video that takes an incomplete mansion owned by someone else and ascribe it to Putin.

Navalny is just a nuisance, a useful idiot for the Western powers and only persons who will bother killing him are his Western sponsors when they are tired of using him. If the Russian government or the Russian security services want to kill him, he would be dead already. They claim he is the major opponent to Putin in Russia, which a big joke. At the height of his popularity, he ran for Mayor of Moscow in 2009 and received just 15% of the votes. Trust Navalny though, he claimed he was rigged. His alleged popularity stems from kids who love his fantastic tiktok videos and bombastic Youtube videos just for laughs and nothing else.

At the height of Brexit protests in the UK, Russia didn't send diplomats to "observe the protests". Neither did they do that at the height of Yellow vest protests in France where police were violent in the suppression of protests, or during the Black Lives Protest in the US, or during anti-government protests in Sweden, or anti-abortion protests in Poland or the current Farmers protest in Germany. But yet the West feels they can do so in Russia, why wouldn't the Russians not expel them? Politics and Diplomacy is Quid Pro Quo.

P.S. My post is long, but the facts must be put to the public to make informed opinions. Most Nigerians when it comes to Foreign matters affecting Russia, just guzzle down in a gullible the false picture that the West presents to them.

Hmmn.

From the employee's point of view, he did nothing wrong, he was simply describing his mum in a honest way.

But...the point the boss was trying to stress is that the employee's job is to describe people or situations using polished words (that's a key aspect of PR). If he could fail in such a scenario with his mum, how much less some client or even his colleague.

It's very harsh sha and the boss overreacted.

I think this news should be accepted with a pinch of salt.

Despite misgivings about Museveni's rule for the past 28 years and more, Bobby Wine has no mathematical chance of defeating him (even if the election is free and fair).

Projecting him as the possible winner via untrustworthy news medium is a recipe for post electoral violence.

Africans should be wiser.
