Foreign Affairs / Re: Russia To Stay Forever On Ukraine Border- Russia Parliamentarian by mojounited(m): 7:03pm On May 09, 2022 |
BritishNaija: Obviously, not in the interim, since gas supplies to other countries are not delivered via pipeline (as is the case for Europe), but give it time. Like I said, Germany, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Turkey, etc are still buying from Russia as there aren't immediate alternatives yet. If Nigeria can commence OB3 pipeline for local gas supplies and AKK for the trans saharan pipeline to Algeria/Morocco, then Russia can pipe its gas to China and onward to Indo Pacific (if all of Europe stops buying from Russia completely); this will more than increase the demand and supply to India, China and Asia (Russia to China/India is even closer than Russia to Germany. Almost same distance if AKK trans saharan pipeline gets to Morocco). Without cheap Russian gas which is already piped to Europe, Europeans will be buying at far higher rates from other markets (probably double the amount) and that means their products will likely not be competitive with products from India, China and Asia. Apart from Canada and Russia, US source for uranium from Australia and khazakhstan and Uzbekistan, so not buying from Russia is No problem. Funny, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are staunch Russian allies... Well, let's see how US intends to offset the 16% share of Russian uranium; US makes use of uranium for its 20% nuclear power plants and even more for its military industrial complex. |

BritishNaija: BritishNaija, well, for starters, let's look at the world population (the emboldened are countries/continents that have sanctioned Russian products); 1. China = 1.44 Billion People 2. India = 1.38 Billion People 3. Africa = 1.3 Billion People 4. Europe = 750,000,000 People Take out 146,000,000 Russians and you have just above 600,000,000 Europeans only. 5. North America = 600,000,000 People 6. South America = 430,000,000 People 7. Australia/Oceania = 43,000,000 People 8. Japan = 126,000,000 People 9. Rest of Asia and Middle East = 1.7 Billion People https://www.worldometers.info/geography/7-continents/ Total World Population (by estimate) = 7.6 to 7.8 Billion People (approximately) Total Population of Countries that have sanctioned Russia = 1.2 to 1.5 Billion People out of 7.6 Billion People Do you still think Russia will not have enough market size with "majority" of the world's population to sell its products? Funny thing is, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic and other Europeans are still buying and stocking Russian oil and gas. Apart from Canada, where else do you think USA buys Uranium and Plutonium from to fuel/replace and service its over 5,000 nukes? Also, besides India and China (who already have hungry markets in-country), where do you think USA, Europe and Africa buy Fertilizer and Urea from? Yes, you guessed right, they also buy from Russia, alongside titanium and other rare earth metals for manufacturing of military aircrafts. I'm sure you are aware that grains, wheat, fertilizer, urea, oil and gas are not in the sanctions list. You'd do well to ask yourself why... China and India alone, who are hungry energy consumers, are big enough markets for Russia. 2 Likes |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Russian Airstrike On Ukraine School Kills 60 (Graphic Pix) by mojounited(m): 11:05pm On May 08, 2022 |
maasoap:My comment was not limited to this particular school incident alone, but about overall tactics of the Ukrainian Army; shell the Russians from civilian centers and draw enemy reprisal fire/attacks to those areas, and subsequently wail about civilian casualties. This way, Ukraine gains more sympathy from international community while Russia is accused of war crimes. War is about deception. 4 Likes |

Dalil8: War is about deception. The end goal here is that Ukraine just wants The West and Rest of the World to believe that Russia committed acts of war crimes... Smart move from the government, but not so smart sacrificing the lives of civilians when shelling from civilian occupied areas. 84 Likes 6 Shares |

God1000: The Donbas region is richly blessed in Plutonium, Uranium, Oil & Gas Reserves, Precious and Rare Earth Metals and has a sizable rich lands for farming of grains. Mariupol also has one of largest steel complex in Europe while the port cities (mariupol, odessa, snake islands, etc) will be strategic for oil/gas and maritime services. If Donbas, Mariupol, Odessa, Kherson and Kharkiv are captured and finally occupied by Russia, Ukraine's GDP and Revenues will be severely affected. Just like when Russia annexed Vyborg from Finland after the war and now pumping oil/gas to Europe via Vyborg fields, same (and more) will apply to Donbas Region and other Oblasts captured by the Russians. Imagine Russia alone controlling up to/more than 50% of Oil/Gas Reserves, Mineral Deposits and Grain Fields in Europe... 6 Likes 3 Shares |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Unexploded Of The Latest British Brimstone Rocket. (pix) by mojounited(m): 12:53pm On May 08, 2022 |
paafin:At a speed of Mach 1.7+ (even if it was just 200km/h flight speed), there's no way it would 'safely' land looking like that. Looks like something that fell of the launch tube due to incompetency of the Ukraine user(s), especially since they may have only had few hours/days of training without actual combat experience and during constant bombardments from the enemy. Below is a comment from a captured Ukraine soldier; “As for the NLAW missile launchers, well, we used them more often than the Javelins, but it has its own issue with the battery draining in cold conditions, making it impossible to launch,” he said. He terms the American Javelins "not so useful" in urban warfare due to obstruction from buildings/installations to line of sight. https://www.rt.com/news/555144-ukraine-javelin-nlaw-mariupol/ 1 Like 1 Share |

Why is this unpalatable, difficult for me to digest properly and believe? So, a missile that travels at more than say Mach 1.7+ and at a certain altitude will just fall off mid-flight and LAND NEATLY on a grass field without so much of an impact causing dirt, roughness or slight/partial disintegration to the missile? Someone please educate me. The west is running serious war propaganda but we shouldn't absolve Russia of trying to do same. There's more to this than meets the eye. 3 Likes |

Politics / Re: Insecurity: Nigeria To Deploy DA-42 Surveillance Aircraft, Others by mojounited(m): 7:33am On May 01, 2022 |
The Minister of Defence, Major-General Bashir Magashi (rtd) has assured that in addition to the recent procurement of J-F17 Thunder multi-role aircraft and Super Tucano attack aircraft to enhance the capacity of the Air Force to tackle current security challenges in the country, the country is also expecting the delivery of the DA-42 surveillance aircraft, A109 Trekker helicopters and Beechcraft KA-360i aircraft. Only the DA-42 surveillance aircraft seems a good buy for COIN reconnaissance. Augusta Westland (just like previous ones) and Beechraft are to be used by incompetent money-thiefing military echelons, unless they can manage to add rocket launch pods to the A109. Well, let me not deride them much since they've also procured viper ah-1z attack helicopters. https://www.military.africa/2022/04/nigeria-finally-gets-ah-1z-attack-helicopter-purchase-approval/amp I do hope we have trained enough capable hands for the PAC JF-17 Thunder |

https://ncdmb.gov.ng/ncdmb-signs-investment-agreements-with-duport-midstream-eraskon-on-energy-park-oil-blending-plant/ Is it possible that the two investment agreements signed by NCDMB in the above report were meant to act as catalysts for this recruitment? Duport Misdtream Energy Park Project in Edo State, initially scheduled to be completed in December, 2021, is now rescheduled for commissioning in June 2022. Meanwhile, Eraskon Nigeria Limited recently performed groundbreaking ceremony for the Lubricant Blending Plant in Bayelsa State last month, with a completion date scheduled for December, 2022 (project timelines can be tricky, so we expect completion date to be further rescheduled for this one too). So, unless these projects / investments are directly tied to this recruitment, it's a tad difficult to understand why a recruitment that kickstarted in July, 2020 cannot be wrapped up after almost two years. The last time I was involved in such a long recruitment process was the 2019 NNPC Recruitment for EH component. Those who participated know how it panned out... Some of us are lucky to be gainfully employed while hoping for this recruitment to come to a conclusion, i shudder to think of what other applicants, who are solely banking on this recruitment for employment, are going through. May our expectations not be cut short! 8 Likes 1 Share |

Op, I want to believe you intend using this sensational headline to gain more views and comments. Correction: Israel never dropped the dollar outrightly; it just added Chinese yuan to diversify its foreign reserves, while reducing or lowering the amount of dollars. Canadian, Japanese and Australian currencies were also added. It is however true that a lot of other countries may opt to diversify their foreign reserves from dollars (not dump it outrightly) since the US has weaponised the dollar 7 Likes 2 Shares |

I have seen Chenchen (Chechnya) become a Republic in Russia, Vyborg become part of Russia, South Ossetia become an independent Republic, Syria liberated and fully in Assad's control, Crimea become part of Russia. I see Luhansk and Donetsk becoming independent Republics when this war ends. This, I have seen. There's no need to be emotional about this stuff, it is inevitable. 2 Likes |

Barrack Obama, Merkel, David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy were all actively leading from the frontlines, firing MANPADs and M4s in Lybia when Qadaffi was taken down. And Putin himself was on ground during Chechnya and Georgia wars. Such brave heroes! Brilliant comment!! 1 Like |

mightyhaze: Not an idea, it's reality albeit morally wrong. Unfortunately, wars have always happened and it predates The Holy Books, and it'll continue to happen. The Holy Book even prophesied about a great war before rapture. From the days of King David, Solomon, Herod,..., Alexander the Great, Napoleon, The Roman Empire, The Caliphate, The Brits, Hitler, The USA...down to the Fulani invasion of Northern Nigeria, senseless wars have happened and will always happen. Israel has taken over much of West Bank and Palestinian lands. The US threatens any nation with sanctions, before now it used to be outright invasion / regime change; the first nation to unleash nuclear bombs on another country and involved in over 93 wars/conflicts worldwide. NATO bombed Serbia to smithereens and carved out Kosovo, killed Qadaffi and Sadam Hussein, etc. Here, back home in Nigeria, we have terrorism, banditry/bandits killing people and taking hostages for ransom, armed robbery, herdsmen, ESN/IPOB, ND Militants, Cult Groups, even those killing and harvesting human organs/skulls for rituals. They're all just taking whatever they want/can from the weak. It is in human nature to be destructive! I'm just an armchair analyst on NL, whatever I do or say here will neither change Putin's mind nor the outcome of this "special operation". So don't come directing your moral compass at me, speak to the world leaders who'd rather have nuclear and deep space satellite weapons than food/health care/infrastructure that'd be more than enough to take care of humanity. 62 Likes 9 Shares |

Once Russia takes Mariupol, Kahrkiv, Kherson, Odessa, and Donbas (Donetsk and Luhansk), Ukraine will become a landlocked country. Russia would then benefit from the natural resources in those areas; coal, iron ore, precious earth metals, oil and gas reserves, uranium, etc. https://www.forbes.com/sites/erictegler/2022/02/23/as-russian-forces-roll-into-eastern-ukraine-putin-grabs-yet-another-prizeores-and-energy/amp/ Irrespective of how much sanctions the Western Nations met out to Russia, Russia will be richer in the near future if they hold on to Donbas. Also, Russia's Black Sea Fleet will have little or no further worries about any blockade of its Navy heading towards the Mediterranean from unfriendly forces if Mariupol and other port cities are captured. https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/INTERACTIVE-Russia-Ukraine-War-Who-controls-what-Day-53.png?w=770&resize=770%2C769 Just like when Russia went to war with Finland and ended up capturing Vyborg.
