Most people back he hating on the US hasn't lived with the Asians. You call US racist try ordinary Indians you will understand how the world works.

Even back then ( post colonial era) and up til this moment American/ British (western) companies in Africa dont treat Africans badly, try work with the Chinese or Indians or Arabs.

thanks, especially those ones in construction. They will treat you like slave in your own country while being protected by your own military men.

the way the rubbish our girls ehn. that one is story for another day

MangekyoAlt:
what THAAD? THAAD isn't even a tested missile defence. THAAD is yet to see combat, which is why even experts in the USA don't even rate it higher that the Russian S-400. Meanwhile, even if THAAD was competent, it would struggle to intercept ultra hypersonic missiles like the Russian Sarmat ICBM which is more than 30 times the speed of sound. Note, this Sarmat can be equipped with Avangard glide vehicle which is more than 30 times the speed of sound too. Meanwhile, USA had said to intercept a hypersonic missild, you need to create another missile that is faster than it for the interception to be successful. So far USA don't even any missile that is even Mach 10. The chances of intercepting a Russian ICBM is 0.

Hahahaha Aerial dominance against a country like Russia? Russia possess the best Sam's in the world. In fact no country comes close to Russia when it comes to defence systems. They have been researching defence systems because they know USA does actually have more aerial capability. If the USA were to engage Russia, I doubt they would be stupid enough to use aircrafts because the moment they enter Russian airspace, they're automatically getting shot down. Go and ask Ukraine. Ukraine hasn't used their airforce against the pro Russian seperatists In Ukraine since Russia gave them the BUK SAM and they shot down 5 Ukrainian aircraft. Till today, Ukraine hasn't deployed any aircraft against them
USA tests weapons all the time. They're being reported. You don't see them because you're dumb, and useless

] USA huge defence budget is because USA has presence in many countries. USA has 800 bases around the world and to maintain these bases as well as the troops on them, you need money. Electricity, food, vehicle maintainance, aircraft and ships. All military personnel are paid from that money. USA aircraft carriers require $60billion yearly just to maintain. Before we talk about, destroyers, submarines, and aircraft, you will see that the maintainance of these hardwares have taken a huge chunk of that money. There are private companies in Russia too. No big deal. USA with the best brains? Now don't be dumb. The man who researched USA's nuclear weapons isn't even an American. USA hired many nazi scientists after The USSR defeated Germany. Everyone knows this


The Chinese and Russians have never done anything that would make me think they would enslave us. Racism in Russia is extremely minimal compared to USA and Britain. Also, who colonized you and stole all your resources? Russia or the west?

which defense system protected UAE against ballistic missiles just of recent

can you mention just one real combat test of the S-400?

Winters23:
Only one country in the world have ever deployed a nuclear weapon killing hundreds of thousands in an instant.

How can that same country also claim only them have the “self control” not to use it needlessly?

because they have been in more wars than any other country and haven't used it since.

Now can you vouch for the other countries to maintain the same restraint? Especially those ones that sees dying as a rite of passage?

Kingpin1000:
The super powers in the world don't need to invade your country. With the push of a button they can annihilate cities.
Ever wondered why the US has not been hostile to North Korea like they are hostile to Iran?
Their intelligence report tells them Mr Kim has got big guns. That was why Donald was smart enough to offer the olive branch.

SMH... how are they more hostile to Iran?

Both countries are under sanctions or are they not?

If North korea like you think are big enough, they should start funding terror groups and give them safe haven in their country.
They will collect like everybody else and you'll come here on nairaland and wail as usual

Chiver:
I would always prefer fingerprint to face id cos of the various accessbility options that come with it

i mean, i can pick calls, turn off alarms, record call conversations and even take pictures and make security verifications using the fingerprint sensor

anyways, what do i know?

absolutely nothing it seems.

FaceID IS NOT FACE UNLOCK

Flamees:
Lmao
She been try am with me
Immediately she lift my hands I Wake up asap

you weren't fully asleep... e get sleep wey go catch you, them wear you suit with correct tie and you still dey sleep like this

aminusodiq:
it wont work while sleeping.. And wont work with one eyesclosed. Ive tried it before

we was referring to fingerprint. The other guy implied that if you sleep and someone raise your finger, you will automatically wake up.

Flamees:
Finger print is more secured
Imagine when you're sleeping and your babe just puts your iphone to your face kasala go burst
But imagine when she's trying to raise your finger as a sharp man u go wake up

you haven't fallen asleep before

With the recently introduced "MaskID" embedded in iOS 15.4 public beta released by Apple; there have been a quiet a noise about it in the tech-verse.

For iPhone users, this update is great given the situation the world is in now but as usual there's a small minority of people mostly Android folks that keep asking "why not introduce fingerprint back on the iPhone?"

Although to me, both system are good at what they are meant to do, there is one statement that the pro fingerprint group keep making that usually sounds okay on the surface until you reason it deeply then you find out how dumb the statement is.

The statement isn't really the problem but the vast majority of people that are quick to point it out. I fear for future generations if basic thinking is hard for our generation to do.

Here's the statement which is usually in the Top 5 points on why fingerprint is better than FaceID:

[i]"With fingerprint, you can unlock your phone without looking at it."[\i]

As we can agree, on the surface it sounds reasonable to be considered a good point but if you think it further it begs the question "why would you unlock your phone if you don't intend to look at it in the first place?"
Because once you look at your phone FaceID comes into play which invalidate the whole point.

sighs!

Bokode:
I don't have a problem with anything bros, not everything is envy

SMH... you clearly underrated her efforts to be where she is and claim everything happened because of her daddy's money. Yet you don't see that as a problem.

Incredible, we meet new people everyday

Bokode:

Companies are owned and directed by her daddy she's only a beneficiary as a kin

Foundation sponsored by otedolas money

Decent career pushed by daddy's money, be honest would even download Cuppy music if not you hear it on radio, influenced by marketers

Investment portfolio still bankrolled by daddy's money

OKOATA:
That's what I'm trying to find out that why didn't they just send someone with a bucket into the well and pull him out?

you do know those guys envision all the possible scenarios and came up with the only viable way to save him.

Gadafii:
If they could lower a camera there, they should have been able to lower a stronger rope down there with the aim of using it to pull him out

you do know those guys envision all the possible scenarios and came up with the only viable way to save him.

porthouse7:
ba3 will not be up to 5000 mAh, abegi make dem go rest, where my LG V60 sef ��

yet it will last longer than most androids...

Did you know it the battery world that's more impressive than slapping a 6000mAh on a phone and bragging about long battery life.

"Find my iPhone" will help you retrieve your phone. Depending on where it's currently located tho.

Hope you find the werey and deal with him properly

it's funny the length hate can make one go... Everybody here shouting China and Russia is all bore from hatred for the US not love for those countries.

sometimes I do wish the US can take a backseat and let the world turmoil into chaos maybe just maybe alot of y'all talking trash here would have been under the influence of ISIS, that's if Al Qaeda never got to y'all first

Good riddance!

Hope it won't be like Shekau abi what was that his name that was killed many times and still came back to life

Funny how Iphone 13 cost the same as iphone 11 which is cheaper than Samsung Galaxy S21 line up but you guys still run with iPhone cost more than other smartphones.

like which year will you guys blame your local dealer for hiking the price of Apple products and leave Apple alone??

LegendHero:
But Premium Times carried the news is 2013 & Sahararrporters 2011, so what’s the cable talking about. It was even ACN he was referring to and they are not APC then. So why is the cable mixing two name tag?

So PremiumTimes defense is that they reach out to Obi aide and he said he did not say that. Is that how to do journalism? Will Obi have said he said it? You go fear for Nigeria media.

Me I don’t even care, he has the right to call it a Yoruba party because it’s politics. The Yorubas also have the right to repay back if need be when he need their support at the polls.

His brethren also called APC Ewedu and Fulani party. It’s politics and you can say anything to curry favor, you shouldn’t just cry when the other side retaliate in kind.

funny how you're doing the same thing you're accusing Premium Times of doing without seeing the hypocrisy.

None of your post shows Obi actually saying it but it's political opponent allegedly claiming he said that and that's what you hold on as facts?

seunny4lif:
Now, I see
I will mark your name as I discover just now, no need to argue with you.
Peace

shalom, "Super power" wannabe

seunny4lif:

Like I said you don’t know anything about Syria war
Russia military started in 2015 at the request of Syria president in Sept.
USA sec of defence was in Italy.
Go and look the map of Syria in 2015 till now.
The biggest ISIS siege was against the Government troops in Deir_ez-Zo.
I have been following Syria, Libya and Yemen war since 2011.
SDF have never ever talk about remove Assad, they disagree with him? Yes but removing is never there because SDF is made of both Kurds and Arabs.

Even when late McCain told Gen Austin why don’t USA used SDF to remove Assad the Austin replied then Russia jets will be targeting SDF and PKK.
Even your almighty CNN posted the hearing at the senate.
Picture of before and after Russia came to Syria

spin and spin and spin.....
there's an irrefutable proof that the US-led coalition dismantled and reclaimed more area against ISIS but here you are trying to change the facts.

SMH... "Almighty CNN", I pretty sure at this point you guys just follow the bandwagon. Can you point out something obvious that CNN deliberately kept out of coverage?

Western media have been known to take a more unbiased stand when reporting events even though the media is controlled by the government. Can you say the same of our Russian news outlet that is in Russian territory that can do that?

Next time you want to tag the CNN as a government apologist might well be best to look at your side first

seunny4lif:
It’s show you don’t know anything about Syria war.

The guy was killed in Idlib.
Do you know where Idlib is located in Syria?
Go and listen to Clinton tape about birth ISIS and Kerry.
Gen Austin answered in the senate hearing is all on CNN and YouTube.
Russia was the only attacking both ISIS and so called freedom fighters aka Terrorists that USA and her allies supported to removed Assad

typical!! did you read points? I doubt because when faced with the Truth, you guys spin and spin and spin.
let me summarise it for you.

US-led coalition started fighting the ISIS since 2014. Russia started their campaign in 2017 which by that time ISIS had been dismantled and the SDF was moving to overthrow Assad which is what Russia prevented.
So which ISIS are you talking about?


Well I'm waiting for you to deploy you guys usual "western propaganda". Abi how long should I wait for it

dragunov:
China and Russia are not lame duck nations. Stop blaming Biden for Afghanistan because the US spent trillions of dollars and thousands of lives in two decades to assist the Afghans. They set them up with a government, financed them and established a military equipped with US arsenals. As at the time of the pull out they had 300,000 soldiers with state of the art equipments that is the envy of other developing countries. They left them with billions of dollars which their president and his politician friends promptly embezzled. But it took 50,000 terrorists with Kalashnikovs to take over. Afghanistan had a president and other politicians. Blame president Ghani. Not Biden.

you're wasting your time educating these ones. it doesn't play well for their propaganda so they will never accept the facts. just vibes and inshallah

seunny4lif:
When Russia was killing them in Idlib, where you Dey then?
Same USA and her allies were making noises in MSM that Russia are killing their moderate freedom fighters because to Russia, they are Terrorists.
Now same USA is calling them Terrorists.
Idlib is one to all those so called freedom fighters aka Terrorists the USA and her allies supported to take down Assad government until Russia came.

Really? I'm not surprised at all, just like the Russians the only thing you guys are good at is pushing propaganda. Now you're trying to equate the SDF to ISIS. Next you'll come up with how the US funded ISIS.

Here's Russian admitting their presence in Syria wasn't about the ISIS but I'm sure you know better right??

"The research laid out below leaves little doubt that the United States and its allies in the anti-ISIS coalition—key among them Iraqi troops, Kurdish Peshmerga and the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, as well as Syrian Arab fighters—played a primary role in subduing ISIS, while Russia and its allies played an auxiliary role that contributed only marginally to the terrorist group’s defeat. This follows from three factors:
(1) that U.S.-led forces dislodged ISIS from more key strongholds and square miles of territory than did Russia;
(2) that, despite a major Russian military deployment to Syria beginning in September 2015, Moscow’s campaigns against ISIS began in earnest only in 2017, when the group had already been severely weakened and was compelled to concentrate its forces on fighting the U.S.-backed SDF advance in eastern Syria; and
(3) that, in the words of political analyst Vladimir Frolov, Moscow’s main goal had never been to fight ISIS but “to suppress the armed opposition to [President] Bashar Assad’s regime, which by fall 2015 had lost control over 70 percent of the country’s territory and was on the verge of military defeat.”6 Frolov’s assessment, likewise voiced by numerous U.S. experts, finds some reflection in the Russian Defense Ministry’s own 2017 end-of-year statistics on its Syria campaign, which made no distinction between ISIS facilities/fighters and those of other “terrorists” and “militants.”..

Trentee4eva:
Foolish post. Isis took 2/3rd of Syria and were selling oil to Turkey at a very cheap price. It was Russia that helped the Syrian Army to reclaim most of those areas and you are here writing nonsense. If the US hadn’t invaded Iraq, they would be no ISIS today. Still there was no weapon of mass destruction in Iraq like they claimed before invading Iraq.

because you guys don't like to read. Talking about Iraq, please tell that to Kuwait that was invaded by Hussein or to thousands that were killed when Al Qaeda operated for free deep inside Iraq. Even the Russians admitted that their presence in Syria wasn't to fight the ISIS but you know better. Take a look for yourself maybe you'll learn something; I doubt but maybe:

Loewe:
Your point?

Maybe they should have kept him alive cos of "civilains" and how do you know they were civilians?

It shall never be well supporters of terrorism.

he's not I can assure you. Just a Russia apologist that only focus on things that paint the US bad.

seunny4lif:
13 civilians killed including 4 children
1 Helicopter destroyed

How many civilians has ISIS killed and displaced from their homes...

Condolences to the family of the victims but you trying to use that facts for your own gain is just low bro

Good riddance... Keep making the world a safer place one mission at a time.

Not some wannabe "Super Powers" not lifting a finger when it matters but will cry that their neighbours want to leave them.

The same Syria that Russia is in and ISIS is proscribed in Russia but they won't do anything when it matters in the world's interest

Appleyard:
lmao. US Central Command for the Middle East was located in Iraq in 2015, don't be daft.

Stop being knowingly ignorant. The CSTO mobilisation to Kazakhstan was so rapid as such that military analysts couldn't help taking notes. Geography my foot.

Why don't you define mobilisation... The fact that no bureaucracy surrounded the mobilisation makes it a great success at such short notice. Imagine if this was NATO....God knows how many political hiccups it would have gotten before even thinking of assembling a meaningful force.

Don't delve into issues when you know nothing about it. It is someone that is ignorant that would say Russia lacks logistic and mobilisation capacity to wage war.

you sound like someone I know on this forum. if I was a gamble, I'd say the odds are in my favour that you are the one.

Any analyst that like you claim took note of Russia deploying paratroopers on invitation doesn't deserve to be called an analyst.
You want to know impressive, the US could deploy anywhere in the world within the same time frame.

this is funny, I can bet even Nigeria can deploy paratroopers to Ghana on invitation within the same time frame.

it is not you guys fault though, being reduced to just a regional bully means you guys will look to make the most of trivial matters.
Like someone calling the motorbike the most impressive piece of tech because the haven't seen a car before.

the last time Russia and their patron the USSR tried to go where they weren't invited, let me know how it went.

Appleyard:
Russia can't afford logistics and mobilisation? You're highly ignorant. The problem with folks like you is that either you equate everything to the Dollar value, instead of PPP of the country concerned or you relied too much on western media lobsided narrative and sheer misinformation drive. Either or both of these has been the undoing of your views about Russia's ability to wage war. But the reality speaks otherwise.

In early 2015, when a Russian general stepped into the office of the US CENTCOM office in Iraq, and handed a 'One hour clear-the-air' notice to the US military, and the next day saw Russian planes pounding the 'moderate' from the rebels in Syria with Kalibre cruise missiles from submarines crossing various countries to hit their targets deep inside Syria, which effectively ended the American dream of overthrowing Assad and swing the tide back to the regime, most American analysts and propangadised politicians were left in shock. The US Senate committee on Defence even summoned Pentagon and demanded explanations on how was Russia so able to mobilized rapidly at such short notice . You know why? Because, just like you, they have been fed the misinformation narrative that Russia doesn't have the economy to afford logistics and quick mobilisation of such magnitude beyond its borders. Same mistake you are making now.

If the recent brouhaha in Kazakhstan is anything to go by, you shouldn't have made this ignorant comment. The CSTO was able to mobilize and deploy so rapidly at short notice that has won much commendations from critics alike, and 90 percent of that troop and deployed techs were made up of Russian forces. This is not the 1990s when the Soviet Union collapsed and Russia was left static and witless. This is a new Russia in every sense of the world new, and recent realities indicated that your claims that Russia has no logistics and ability to mobilize was not only misinformed but a manifestation of western propaganda. You will do well to see Russia in new light. Facts don't lie.

I could reply you but you don't even know USCENTCOM is in America not Iraq.

and then you mention Kazakhstan. Do you even any Knowledge of Geography?

or do you even know what mobilisation entails?
