They see the Chinese as an inferior race and not as intelligent as them bcuz they aren't Europeans.

They believe if they could defeat Japan at the height of their powers then China would be small fry.

They see Russians as White people so therefore intelligent and equally as capable as them. Russia knows what they know.

That is their train of thought.
You are absolutely RIGHT.

They see Russia as the Prodigal Son of the "MASTER RACE".

Regardless of how Russia behaves, they still see them as BROTHERS.
And they NEVER question the COMPETENCE and INTELLIGENCE of Russia.

Meanwhile despite ALL evidence to the CONTRARY, they still see China as INFERIOR and LESS intelligent.

As such, they can TOLERATE the possibility of a potential Russian DOMINANCE.
But the concept of Chinese DOMINANCE is, for them, UNTHINKABLE.

They'd probably NOT have sanctioned Russia as much as they did IF Russia was fighting a country of NON-WHITE people.

Another CRAZY thing about how they treat Russia and China can be seen in the International Space Station.

For DECADES, the West DEMONISED Russia as their ULTIMATE sworn enemy.

YET they worked with Russia to DEVELOP the Space Station.

But the same people BANNED China from using the ISS in the name of NATIONAL SECURITY.

China was FORCED to build their own Tiangong Space Station SOLO.
And they launched people to the station by THEMSELVES.

NOBODY else has done.

In fact NOBODY else in the West, apart from US and possibly Germany, CAN do it.

China did it.
And yet they still CONTINUE to look down on China.

They still see China as the CHEAP and MILDLY INTELLIGENT labour force they can EXPLOIT.

That's why they get SHOCKED when they make DEMANDS of China like they do to the rest of the world and China tells them to GET FORKED!

The PDFile tried to TARIFF China into submission.
China HIT back so HARD, the PDFile learned to throw China a BANQUET.

grin

I bet it KILLS the RACIST PDFile to be so NICE to Xi and China.
Especially because for a people known for being SHORT, their Leader (Xi) is as TALL as the PDFile.

Being the same HEIGHT as a Chinese man MUST be doing his head in.
grin

That said, I believe that they are gradually being FORCED to come to terms with the INEVITABILITY of a Chinese DOMINANCE.
Or at least, the UNDENIABLE RISE of China.

They are ALL in PANIC about Chinese Cars.
One way or the other, they are all ACKNOWLEDGING the fact that they CANNOT compete with Chinese Cars.

LordAdam16:
the us will not fight china

the worst that will happen is what is happening with ukraine
they'll instigate taiwan, japan, sk, philippines to take on china
then from afar sell/donate weapon systems

then they will offer to negotiate a peace deal with china
like they're doing with russia
after sanctioning and embargoing china to hell and back

-Lord
This is what they'd DO.

They are already looking for every available avenue to SANCTION China.

They have been doing EVERYTHING to DEMARKET Chinese cars too.

IF I were China and had the POPULATION, MILITARY and ECONOMY of China; I'd NEVER let them do something like that.

And the way to do that is an AGGRESSIVE, FIRST-STRIKE NUCLEAR DOCTRINE.

Just ANNOUNCE to everybody that if ANYBODY attacks you in ANYWAY, you will respond with NUKES.

China has TOO MANY people and too many INFRASTRUCTURES to be engaged in a DRAWN OUT war with the likes of Philippines.

A missile that would land in Saudi and kill 13 people will land in China and KILL 300.

NO point fighting a war of ATTRITION.

When one missile LANDS on Chinese soil, just NUKE the launcher into OBLIVION.

That's the ONLY solution.

And whether they use a NUKE or not, the West will hit them with CRIPPLING SANCTIONS.

So you might as well NIP their kinetic ATTACKS in the bud.

People opposing the West must learn to be MORE BRUTAL than the West.

⚡Foreign ministers from 29 countries, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia and most of the EU, condemned Iran's use of lethal plotting, arson, sabotage, cyber-attacks and other hybrid activity against them and their partners.

The statement endorses the British attribution of Iran to the September 27 incident at RAF Fairford, which London concluded showed the IRGC's continued willingness to project hostile activity abroad through covert networks and proxies.
IF Iran likes, let them continue behaving like MOOMOOs.

Their ENEMIES are setting the stage to formally DECLARE Iran as their NUMBER ONE enemy.
So that they can form a COALITION to attack and DESTROY Iran.

IF they like, let them REFUSE to get NUKES.
And continue to act like Mr NICE GUYS.

All their PROTESTS have fallen on DEAF EARS.

The West have MANUFACTURED their own NARRATIVE.
And they will STICK with it and SPREAD it far and wide.

29 countries that Iran has NEVER done anything to are CONDEMNING Iran for Lethal Plotting, arson and CYBER ATTACKS.

The WRITING is on the wall for Iran.

They are BLAMING Iran for EVERYTHING.
IF Burnham CAN'T get an erection, he'll blame Iran.

And the rest of the West will issue a joint statement to CONDEMN Iran.

They are setting the stage to ACCUSE Iran for attacking NATO and subsequently ACTIVATE all of NATO against Iran.

The Epstein Regime is NOT the only COMPROMISED Regime in the West.
MANY of the Western Nations were COMPROMISED in the Epstein Ops.

ALL of them are either being directly CONTROLLED or significantly SUBSERVIENT to ILLsrael.

For instance, Burnham's UK agreed to SUFFER the consequences of imposing their FAKE sanctions on ILLsrael without retaliation.

They called it an AGREEMENT.

ILLsrael FORCED the UK to withdraw their staffs and CLOSE their consulate in Jerusalem.
WITHOUT the UK ejecting ILLsraeli diplomats in return.

They said it's been DOWNGRADED to a "mission".

The C.UUU.CKS!

Anyway, ILLsrael is clearly MOBILISING their forces in the West AGAINST Iran.
ONLY an OBLIVIOUS MOWRUN doesn't know this.

Imagine Australia and Canada CONDEMNING Iran.

For WHAT?!

Latvia and Estonia probably JOINED the condemnations too.

⚡According to a White House official cited by Axios, Trump expects Zelensky to abide by his proposed energy ceasefire, which would initially halt Ukrainian and Russian attacks on oil refineries.

However, Russia has not agreed to the proposal, and Zelensky said Trump's announcement of a ceasefire was news to him.

The White House official said a halt to refinery attacks could pave the way for a broader agreement covering power plants and electricity grids.
The PDFile is clearly INSANE!

ATTACKS on Russian Refineries are one of the most EFFECTIVE strike options available to Ukraine.

YET the PDFile wants Ukraine to STOP without even EXACTING a similar commitment from Russia.

He's saying IF Ukraine stops attacking the refineries that, perhaps, Russia would be more INCLINED to negotiate about halting attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Absolute MADNESS!

ALSO picking on Ukraine and Zelensky like this is an OBVIOUS tactic to SHIFT the blame for the oil CRISIS he caused by attacking Iran to Ukraine.

Very CRAZY.

Plus, this is a LESSON for all American "allies".
They will THROW you under the bus as soon as it BENEFITS them.

You CANNOT rely on America for your SAFETY.

Ukraine NEEDS to pursue its own PEACE and AGREEMENT with Russia instead of acting as an APPENDAGE to America and Europe.

Barring that, they need to DISREGARD the PDFile's tantrums and HIT Russia's refineries as MUCH and as HARD as they can.

'Cause that's the ONLY meaningful way they can FIGHT back against Russia.

This Epstein War provided them a HUGE opportunity to RECTIFY that.
And they chose to SQUANDER it.

The moment the Epstein Regime BLOCKADED them, they should have BLOCKADED the whole of the Middle East.

Politics › Nigeria First: FG Mandates Mdas To Procure All Vehicles From Local Assemblers by Namaster(op): 7:47pm On Oct 10
Under the policy, government agencies must buy vehicles from licensed local assemblers or authorised retailers. Foreign-assembled vehicles require proof that no local alternative exists and presidential approval.

The Federal Government has urged local vehicle assemblers to increase production, improve quality and strengthen after-sales services under the Nigeria First Policy.

Speaking in Abuja, NADDC Director-General Oluwemimo Joseph Osanipin said Nigeria’s assembly plants have an annual capacity of 370,520 vehicles. He said prioritising local manufacturers in government procurement would create jobs, reduce imports and support domestic component production.

“We are fundamentally shifting the Nigeria First Policy. All vehicles procured by ministries, departments and agencies, including project utility vehicles, must be sourced exclusively from licensed local assemblers or their authorised retailers."

“Also, no ministry, department or agency may procure a foreign-assembled vehicle unless it explicitly proves the absence of a domestic alternative and obtains direct presidential clearance.

“Every vehicle supplied to the government must carry a traceable Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) verified through the NADDC. Any supply outside licensed local assembly lines will attract immediate regulatory sanctions, including blacklisting and licence revocation,” he explained

Under the policy, government agencies must buy vehicles from licensed local assemblers or authorised retailers. Foreign-assembled vehicles require proof that no local alternative exists and presidential approval.

The Bureau of Public Procurement warned assemblers that poor quality, inadequate after-sales support and policy violations would attract sanctions. Government-supplied vehicles must also have traceable Vehicle Identification Numbers verified by NADDC.

BPP Director-General Adebowale Adedokun urged manufacturers to invest in technology, quality control and maintenance services as the government seeks to build a competitive automotive industry.

UAE will go OFFLINE.

🌎 "...Any easing of sanctions against Russia without a clear and lasting de-escalation agreement with Russia is an obvious weakness. It plays into Russia’s hands – allowing it to kill more, wage war for longer, have even less respect for America, and inflict even greater losses and damage on the world.

Ukraine is ready to take symmetrical de-escalatory steps, and the American team knows our position. Our strikes on Russian oil refineries and other oil facilities are a response to Russia’s years-long campaign of terror against Ukraine’s energy sector. Ukraine will not set Russian oil refineries on fire if Russia does not destroy our energy infrastructure. This is the kind of agreement we are proposing to America, and we believe the United States has enough power to achieve such a compromise.


Gifts to Putin will not bring peace or any benefit to the civilized world. Russia will “repay” the diesel with further terror and perfidy. Allowing Russia to sell petroleum products is an investment in a war that must be ended, not prolonged. What is needed is real de-escalation with Russia on a reciprocal basis.

We count on America’s fair support for our defense of life, for our defense of people in Ukraine – and on the United States having a correspondingly strong conversation with Russia. A strong one, not a weak one."

Business › J.P. Morgan To Open Merchant Bank In Nigeria Before End Of 2026 by Namaster(op): 7:36pm On Oct 09
J.P. Morgan’s plan to establish a merchant bank in Nigeria signals growing confidence in the country’s economic outlook.

J.P. Morgan’s plan to establish a merchant bank in Nigeria signals growing confidence in the country’s economic outlook and the potential for more high-value transactions, according to financial analysts.

The proposed merchant bank, expected to commence operations before the end of 2026 subject to regulatory approval, could deepen financing for Nigerian businesses, strengthen capital market activities and introduce international expertise into the country’s financial services industry.

Ayodeji Ebo, chief executive officer of MDU Capital, said the decision suggests that J.P. Morgan sees increasing opportunities for transactions in Nigeria and is becoming more confident about the country’s economic prospects.

“For a merchant bank, there are more high-end transactions, not the retail deposit likes, and also structured transactions,” Ebo said.

He said the planned expansion points to improving economic activity and growing confidence in Nigeria, adding that the presence of an international financial institution of J.P. Morgan’s scale could also provide opportunities for local market participants to learn from its experience.

According to Ebo, the move further reinforces the positive outlook on Nigeria’s economy, particularly as foreign companies consider establishing or expanding their operations in the country.

Ayokunle Olubunmi, head of Financial Institutions Ratings at Agusto & Co., said the development reflects renewed interest in Nigeria’s market among international investors, particularly against the backdrop of changes in key macroeconomic indicators.

Olubunmi noted that J.P. Morgan’s plan was not entirely new, as the bank had announced its intention to establish a merchant banking presence in Nigeria about one or two years ago.

He said the entry would be positive for the banking industry, given the international bank’s experience operating across markets at different stages of development.

According to him, that experience could improve the quality of financial services and products available to Nigerian businesses while strengthening the capacity of the domestic banking sector to support complex transactions.

He added that the proposed subsidiary could also help facilitate financing for large-ticket transactions that may exceed its local balance sheet capacity, potentially drawing on the resources of J.P. Morgan’s wider global operations.

This could expand funding options for businesses undertaking major investments and transactions, although the extent of the impact would depend on the bank’s eventual operating model and the scale of its Nigerian operations.

Dapo Olagunji, managing director of J.P. Morgan West Africa, announced the plan at the Nigeria–Asia Financial Connectivity Dialogue in Singapore, convened by the Central Bank of Nigeria in partnership with J.P. Morgan, Nigerian Exchange Group and FMDQ Group.

The proposed merchant bank is expected to deepen J.P. Morgan’s presence in Nigeria and strengthen its links with local businesses and the country’s capital markets. Its launch remains subject to the completion of the relevant regulatory approval process.

The announcement follows earlier engagements between the bank and Nigerian authorities. In January 2025, a delegation led by Olagunji met with Wale Edun, then minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, at the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja.

J.P. Morgan has also maintained a connection with Nigeria’s domestic debt market through its government bond indices. The country was first admitted into the bank’s Government Bond Index in October 2012, following the development of an active domestic Federal Government bond market supported by market makers, a two-way quote system and a broad investor base.

More recently, J.P. Morgan included Nigeria in its Government Bond Index–Emerging Markets Edge, assigning the country a 7.4 percent weighting in the benchmark, which tracks local-currency government debt across frontier emerging markets.

The planned merchant bank adds another dimension to the international financial institution’s engagement with Nigeria, potentially linking its global financing capabilities more directly with domestic businesses and capital market opportunities.

However, analysts’ assessment of the move as a sign of improving confidence should not be mistaken for a guarantee of stronger economic performance.

The actual benefits will depend on the transactions the bank undertakes, the financing it makes available and the broader business environment in which it operates.

Haven't you heard about crude swaps?

Our government know what to do decided to punish Nigerians for nothing.
NEVER in your life quote me with that MUSH you call a brain.

In WHAT world did you learn that Nigeria has Strategic Oil Reserves?

In a FAILED attempt to sound sophisticated, you claimed I was repeating incoherent jargons from the Internet.

YET, you are the one who's talking about Strategic Reserves simply because Western Countries and their ALLIES have been releasing theirs.

And they even had to be FORCED by the PDFile before they released it.

Why?

Because they'd still need to REPLENISH it.

And NOBODY knows at what COST.

That is why they are RELUCTANT to do so.

There are still a ton of NONSENSE in this your post.

But it's NOT my job to disabuse you of your SELF-INFLICTED IGNORANCE.

His BOSSES in Tel Aviv said otherwise.

This is a very wrong move by tinubu,I wonder the kind of advisers he has that conjured this inherently dysfunctional policy......at what cost ? What will nigerians have to jettison as opportunity cost......whats the scope?

Tinubu really needs to up his game and stick to his neo liberal disposition.......he has really disappointed on this.
It's a WEAK and STEWPID move that feels of DESPERATION.

This 30 days will EXTEND to 90 days MINIMUM.

Because, it'll be SUICIDAL for him to let it EXPIRE and cause to an INCREASE in price a few months before election.

The price INCREASE is NOT his fault.
It's the American PDFile's fault.
His war in Iran CAUSED it.

With this measure, Tinubu has taken OWNERSHIP of the fault.

He may pay DEARLY for it.
