Lol propaganda

Literally NATO as anti Soviet


NATO should has been disbanded when ussr fell

Go educate yourself first before showcasing your ignorance on a public forum

Jonesemmy:

why did US create so much fuse in what is now known as the Cuban missile crisis??
you can't allow your opponent surround you no matter what..it's detrimental to national security

just like how you guys heard of MAD and be blowing it out of proportion without knowing what you are saying. The same is happening with the Cuban Missile crisis.

let me ask you this simple question. Which country is Cuba ally? is it not Russia? Is America making fuse about it?
Go and read about the Cuban Missile crisis first before throwing it all willy nilly.

Finland was a colony of Russia for most of the 19th century

As the Grand Duchy of Finland. It was run by a ruler appointed by the Tsar.

More here : Grand Duchy of Finland

Finland liberated itself long time ago from Russian influence. They even defeated the USSR during WWII which helped solidify Hitler resolve to attack his friend.

If we are running far back, then I can say England is influenced by Germany and I wouldn't be wrong as their monarch as German ancestry

Owen247:
That guy is sayin d truth,russia has invasive problems wit its border.

SMH... he said after Ukraine, the baltic states will join when most of the baltics state are already members and you're saying what again??

backbencher:


Compared to the USA, Russia does not have the same 'safety' the US has.

The US is bordered by Canada to the North (which has always been friendly to the US, even not batting an eye when someone leaked a US plan to invade Canada several decades ago...) and Mexico (which has been run by pro-US governments since the 1930's.). And two oceans.

Russia is bordered by the growing EU, and by several nations allied to the USA, or planning to be allied to the USA and the EU on the west, and to the East, is bordered kind of by Japan (who beat them in 1905 in war) and is not too far from South Korea (whose army is under US command. Yes, the US Army can overrule the South korean government on its own defence matters theoretically) China, while friendly for now, has fought with the Russians in the past.

Most of the recent invasions of Russia have come from the West, thus Russia takes good care of its western borders.Over the years it has done that by installing friendly governments, or in some cases taking over and running the countries (what do Finland, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Laatvia, Lithuania...have in common...? They were once Russian colonies)

Nowadays, most of the countries to the west, apart from Belarus, are run by Western friendly governments. In the event of an invasion, Russia cannot count on them as allies.

Hence the saber rattling on Ukraine. Let's not forget...Ukraine used to be run by Russian friendly governments till the Orange revolution of some ten years ago. THings have been tense since.

Which is bad they are all going close to Russia border

European countries are small in size and budgets. After WWII, their economy collapsed and with the fall of the Soviet Union, NATO opened up its membership so Eastern Europe states can join. The price you pay for security is far less than having your own Army being well equipped.
In the grand scheme, it has nothing to do with Russia. Russia makes everything about them just so they can be relevant

backbencher:


Russia is acting this way because it is a big nation with a poorly defensible border that has been subject to varied invasions over the years, most recently from the French and a hundred years later, the Germans, twice.

Thus Russia always makes sure its neighbors are run by 'freindly' governments, who can act as a buffer in case of a repeat invasion

Ukraine wants to join NATO. If that happens, and other baltic states join up too, Russia could find itself encircled by American allies and American troops on its west and east (South Korea-Japan) border, and that's a threat to its national security.

Russia also views the land known as Ukraine as its 'birthplace' so to speak...one of two.

do you even know what you're saying? the Baltic states, majority are already in NATO

diesel86:
Anyone who says Russia is a bully does not know jack , So they should allow Ukraine to be a launchpad for western blocks offensive against them, something America would never allow .

the reason before you talk. why would they attack Russia?
what's the gain?
Ukraine joins NATO and suddenly NATO goes to war with Russia? like do you even know why NATO was created in the first place?
their objective was to stop Russia communist expansion and that has been achieved a long time ago.
How many European countries aren't part of NATO? Not much and majority that remain are still pro west so why would the attack Russia.

una go just the misyarn anyhow

Kylce042:


You just open mouth waaaa dy spill rubbish Madrid has never and probably will never see a more successful times with and without Cr7. That is what happens when important people leave anywhere. Their absence are felt. The big question now is will even your family feel your absence? Will they struggle for 2 months without you?

all dz kids sef... do you know what you're saying. if na 3 UCL dey high you, Madrid already won 5 back to back before. talking about Madrid will never see more successful times without CR7. Madrid? guy fear God!

AlphaAlex:
be like you no understand say your Naira dey worthless and subject to more devaluation and these imf idiots are the ones that will still encourage your leaders to take loans and still cheer them on to squander it. Enaira should never in a million years be compared to bitcoin it should not even be said that enaira can be profitable

e-naira is just digital Naira, in terms of cryptocurrency, it's more of a stablecoin so comparing it to Bitcoin shows you don't even know what you're saying.

so Bitcoin moving from $69,000 to $38,000 in value isn't devaluation abi.
if you wake up tomorrow and your 1000 Naira could only buy you pure water, not in 10 years but within a week, what would you say?

But guess which one you're calling worthless because you think you've bought Bitcoin you're now woke. lol

educate yourself

AlphaAlex:
These European demons will say whatever to keep their claws in the gullible African Leaders. How is Rubbish E Naira now ether than Bitcoin. Ah Europeans are wicked

CODES currencies are better managed when it come to their appreciation and depreciation while Bitcoin and other altcoins fall and rise without regulation.
Simple terms, Naira went from 180 / dollar to 570 on the parallel market in 10 years right but the devaluation didn't just happen over night, like you sense it and better guard against if you want while Bitcoin went from $69,000 to $38,000 in matter of weeks because it's decentralised.

That's what they are trying to say

IamV:
But come to think of it,assuming that Russia is really going to invade Ukraine, what about UK and US previous commitment to protect Ukraine ?
Someone should educate me,because I don't understand why they should be withdrawing thier troops at this point in time,when Ukraine needed them more.

there's is no previous commitment to protect Ukraine. This is how you guys invent words out of thin air.

What NATO said was that Russia will suffer severe consequences via sanctions if they invade Ukraine and that they will support Ukriane through aids to defend itself against aggression over its sovereignty.

How does that sound like we'll protect Ukraine or fight for Ukraine??

MangekyoAlt:


May I have a source?

dude you have the Internet on your phone. Put it to good use at least for once

MangekyoAlt:

The only country that I can say USA respects their military is Russia. The last time China threatened Taiwan, USA just moved 2 aircraft carriers to the China sea and UK parked their own on Taiwan coast. All this to intimidate China.

Meanwhile, USA can't even send troops to rescue their own citizens in Ukraine. It should tell you something

US has a treaty to come to the defense of Taiwan while maintaining a two state policy with China.
How is that so hard for you people to understand?

Jeeez!

what do they have with Ukraine?
if you want to test your theory, ask the "mighty Russian army" to threaten a small state like Latvia then you will know it will be a different ball game

adedehinbo:
you seems to believe the conspiracy behind that six days war because of what you re being told, during the six days war,it was america and uk soldiers that fought the arabs,not israel who re just settling down, israel doesn't even have a combat army or weapons,its illogical for you to believe the same israel were the ones who fought the arab,the only time israel tried to fight its own war was when they singlehandedly invaded lebanon but was left with a broken nose by hezbollah, killing of scientist in iran was successful because of sabotuer who was later arrested and killed,if israel really have the guts,they would have declare war on iran for a very long time for constantly threatening to wipe them off,iran don't war to been seen as the aggressor by declaring total war on israel,steps by step,they are walking towards israel,they re very close to israel than you think,they have bases in lebanon,syria.if war should break out this based will be used as a lunching ground to fight.

the surprise attack carried out by Israeli airforce that rendered the Arab countries airforce useless is what you called a conspiracy theory?
Conspiracy theory by who?? Like do you even listen to yourself before and after you say those things?

Iran don't want to be the aggressor like you claim but Israel should now be the aggressor to satisfy you or something?
Dude how and in what way does that make sense to you?

adedehinbo:
do your research, Israel military will collapse if it stops receiving military aid from US compare to iran who have defy sanctions, continue producing high tech weapons,the reason why you see Israel tall is because of US

Iran has high tech weapons. okay �
People that their indigenous jets can't even fly. Till operating ancient Russian SAM have high tech weapons just cause they said so.

But you so believe Israel will crumble. People that actually defeated 5 nations in 6 six days. Have shown time and time again that they don't only possess weapons but can use it, case in point, flying deep into Syria territory to attack.
Invading Iran nuclear facilities and making out alive with state secrets. Conducted assassination on Iranian soil while not being there.
Or deploying to Libya to freed her citizens without being detected and losing only one comrade.

Like I said, do you even know Israel?

Walkee:
which US asset did Libya, Iraq Afghanistan etc attack?

so you don't know all these simple things but you go on talking like you do. Jeez

una plenty for here I swear.

it's there on the Internet if you bother to even look for it. I don't have time to be stressed

adedehinbo:
israel is nothing without the support of US,if US will not take side in a fight between iran and israel,israel will cease to exist

you have very little knowledge of Israel

jackslow:
sadam never said he had ,nuclear weapons ,US had their own interest in Iraq that is why they invaded it ,i.off it's because of nuclear weapons they could have left Iraq by now

really?

nothing about Iraq invading Kuwait and ignoring International calls to stop the occupation of Kuwait?

nothing about Iraq being the breeding ground of Al Qaeda and later ISIS?

or those ones don't register on your radar because they don't paint the US bad

Privatepart00:


See what someone posted .Who created ISIS in the first place? Answer the question and educate yourself on who is the main sponsor of terrorism in the world.
Iran is what Nigeria supposed to be. Manufacturing what they use with the sanctions that’s an applause, ordinary toothpick our country can’t produce.

you are asking someone to educate himself but you can't educated yourself to know that Nigeria manufacture toothpick.

franchasng:
A combination of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and more cannot defeat USA.



Their citizens will die of hunger while the war is on and that will force them to surrender.


Weapons alone don't win war, economy is number one and US have that.


Biafran soldiers were so resolute and were dealing a heavy blow on the Nigerian side causing fear among Nigerian military battalions, until Awolowo suggested the economy starvation policy which brought hunger on the Biafran side, causing Biafran children to starve and children death became the order of the day, Biafran elites and commanders had to plead with Ojukwu to surrender to save Biafran children from further death as a result of hunger.



So economy is the number one requirement to winning war, not just military weapons and personnel. Hunger is very bad, a hungry soldier will sabotage his batallion to get food to eat

they no dey tell people until it happens. They same people hailing Iran them now will be the ones to come here and wail that the US is bad

SarkinYarki:
Yet Biden is reducing their sanctions

it's called diplomacy... The macho style of leadership is for dictators

Walkee:
if you don't have this kind of things other countries will bully you to oblivion. Iran can never be invaded like US invaded and destroyed Libya, Iraq etc. USA will not dream of coming near Iran border again not to talk of them dumping soldiers inside the country

Well it's very simple to test your theory. They should attack a US asset; there's an Aircraft carrier in the Arabian Gulf, they can start with that one or perform a terror attack on US soil.

Let's watch and see something

Beverlyjean:
The biggest mistake Americans made was to vote against Trump and elect a weak man

because Iran just happened to have the biggest weaponry in the Middle East just from last year abi...

Common sense is truly not common

Offpoint1:
Sometimes when I look at humans I wonder what the creator was thinking.

Peace cost Nothing, but they choose war... countries with billions of poor citizen will rather spend $billions building weapons instead of improving her citizens lives.

by the way, Who Am I mine to question the perfect creator, war started in heaven before human creation... we are all created in his LIKENESS.

He should have just stop creation at the 6th day before the humans part, now they have and still destroying everything he created

the Price for peace is war!

Everyday China unveils Russia unveils North Korea unveils Iran unveils...very useless and toothless countries! Na mouth Dem get.



If Dem bon Dem well make Dem just fire one shot.

you want the hunter to become the hunted

The real question is why is it that all these companies accused of importing adulterated PMS aren't suing NNPC and Kyari for defamation.
I mean that level of accusation shouldn't be swept under the carpet as business as usual.

If they are innocent, they should take the FG to court so that the real culprits can be finger out!

Enough of this hullabaloo

RighteousI:


America never liberated China. China worked hard to defeat Japan. It was not the Americans that liberated them.

Even China humbled and defeated America in the Korean war. America was also defeated in Vietnam and Iraq.

America can only show off with it's military technology to poor Africans that cannot invent matches like you guys here.

America knows that China will pepper them in a war. The Chinese have nuclear weapons with good missiles to deliver it to Washington.

The Chinese also have missiles that can wipe out fleets of aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers and destroyers.

In war, the Chinese will wipe out the American fleet in days.

Don't mess with China, they are not your mate.

US was defeated yet South Korea ended up with more territory than China backed North Korea. Go figure.

Iraq really?

China has approximately 350 nuclear stockpile while America had 5000+ but somehow to you China can wipe out the US.

China has this, has that yet the same carriers and cruisers have been passing through the Taiwan strait every other week and they can't do anything about it.

At this point is better if I don't engage you because clearly you don't know anything

RighteousI:
America should better not fly this helicopter to Mogadishu, or else those Somali boys will dispatch their black hawk from the skies again.
America was dealt with by ordinary Somalis in Mogadishu, the American rangers fled the scene and ran like little girls back to their base.

Ordinary Somali rebels gave America a run for it's money, what will Russia and China do to them?

the same China that was liberated thanks to America?
or the one whose Winglong II drones have been terrible that countries that rush to buy base on hype like you guys do here on nairaland are grounding them?

or Russia that couldn't defeat small Finland?
or the one whose Su-57 stealth jet has been in development since 2007 and up till now can't field 2 squadrons of the jet?

or is there another China and Russia we don't know about?

Reference:


Oga, try and read nau.
Those were proprietary technologies, purpose built from scratch.
This specific kit is for existing platforms, i.e choppers built for manned flight.
And it takes a whole new level of AI to build systems that act human.

skyborg flew a U-2 spy plane and engage a manned fighter jet in a simulation and won.
so yes, it isn't the first time AI has been used on existing platform

For a country that already had two drones executed a fight pattern and strategy without human intervention in a simulated war scenario as far back early 2000.

MQ-25 refuelling fighter jets off aircraft carriers.
Smart sniper bullet with fire and forget tech. This isn't that impressive.

cool but not impressive

Well, after all your epistle, China is still rated second best after USA in terms of military might.

who rate them second best? Such analyst needs his/her head examined
