Am done with you! Good night!!
Due to the lies and the overwhelming globalist propaganda all over the world in the late 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, it fits to re-think what could be called " Official History" .

On your first point.. Global politics is built on lies. Saying one thing and doing another thing is a hallmark of international relations.

All d countries keep their cards to their chest.. Element of surprise is key!
For example the 1928 Kellogg Briand Pact. It was a peace treaty that prohibited it signatories to use war as an instrument of national policy.

It signatories included Japan,,USA ,,Britain,, France,, Germany,, Italy,, Canada, Belgium amongst others.
Fast forward in the mid 1930s some of this countries like Japan and Italy were already invading Manchuria and Abyssinia respectively.
By 1938 Germany under Hitler had annexed Austria.

Honesty or sincerity has nothing to with foreign policy. By March last year Trump and North Korean leader were trading insult.. Kim said that Trump is a dotard while Trump called him rocket man,,mad man. But months later this people were having meeting alone with an interpreter.
Germany had Joseph Goebbels as minister of propaganda. Other states use secretary of war in place of minister of propaganda.

In this modern period elite countries make use of their spy agency. Like M16,, MOSSAD, KGB,, CIA etc.
We agree on that because the same folks who attack peace-loving countries have the veto power at the UN security council.




On ur second point.. It has been rendered invalid by the appeasement policy of Chamberlain. Appeasing a dictator is just like giving him more weaponry,, and the funny thing is that the same weaponry and resources you willingly gave him will be used to eliminate your existence!
Before invading Poland,, he already invaded Austria,,, annexed Czechoslovakia.
As a World War II die hard follower. ,, you got to make your own informed analysis based on verifiable evidence and statistics not quoting someone else opinion.
Cheers!.
The Fuhrer was on a mission to protect his people (the Sudeten) . Those German -speaking people were oppressed. Many were slaughtered later after the defeat of Germany. It was a genocide !

AmunaNo1:
The USSR had neither the resources nor the leadership (communists had slaughtered the experienced generals) to sustain their war effort, both where supplied in large part by the Americans. Stalin built a wall of meat (Order No. 227) to protect him and his murderous regime from the Nazi onslaught. It was not just the winter that stopped the Nazi from taking Moscow. It was already a done deal, The Americans propped up Stalin's government with millions of dollars in weaponry and other necessities of war.
Disagreed

The Soviets fought house by house, street by street, hole by hole to defeat the Germans in Stalingrad. But for that victory, the war would
have continued beyond 1945 giving Hitler the time needed to develop an atomic bomb.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
We agree to disagree.. Moving on,, in your opinion how and why did the French and British start ww2; huh huh
1st reason: No need to go back 80 years in history to know that the French and the British are liars. Just remember what Tony Blair said before the invasion of Irak. Then remember what David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy said in 2010 before attacking and blowing up Lybia and Syria.

2nd reason
To make a long story short let's quote someone on QUORA because he said exactly how I feel about about the warmongers ( France and UK)
"
Juan Olivier, studied at CTU Boksburg
Answered Aug 4, 2017

Yes they do. Britain and France were out for blood and they proved it before the war started and after it started.

The German enclave in Poland that started all the trouble was created by the British and the French in the treaty of Versailles. The Germans wanted land access to their German territory and made a reasonable proposition to Poland that they just want a dedicated highway to access their territory. This would have solved the problem but Britain and France actively encouraged Poland not to settle with Germany and that they would protect Poland. Without the meddling of Britain and France; Poland would have most likely agreed to Germany’s proposal and war would have been avoided.

After the war started Britain and France proved on 2 points that they wanted war. The first point was that after Germany defeated Poland, Germany made many peace offerings. One of those would include German’s offer to give all the land back to Poland, but they only want a dedicated highway to the German enclave the British and France created in the first place. But Britain and France declined all peace offerings in favor of war. The second point is that Britain and France attacked Germany under the excuse of protecting Poland. This was clearly demonstrated to be false since 1) both Germany and the USSR attacked Poland, so if they attacked Germany to protect Poland then they would have attacked the USSR as well. And 2) after the war Britain and France left Poland under the USSR occupation for decades, clearly showing they wanted to knock Germany out, not protect Poland.

This obviously does not mean Germany is blameless. This just means Britain and France has just as much blame as Germany for WW2"

Foreign AffairsRe: Ethiopian Airlines' Black Box Has Been found by panafrican(m): 7:36pm On Mar 13, 2019
families of the dead should sue Boeing in US court.

Pilot: Flight manual is 'inadequate and almost criminally insufficient'
CNN)US pilots who fly the Boeing 737 Max have registered complaints about the way the jet has performed in flight, according to a federal database accessed by CNN.

In one of the complaints, a captain reported an autopilot anomaly which led to a brief nose-down situation -- where the front of the aircraft pointed down, according to the federal database. In another complaint, a first officer reported that the aircraft pitched nose down after the autopilot was engaged during departure. The autopilot was then disconnected and flight continued to its destination, according to the database.

Although the data doesn't identify the pilots or their airlines, two US carriers fly the 737 Max 8: American Airlines and Southwest.
Extraordinary worldwide attention has been focused on the jet -- Boeing's biggest-selling airliner -- after Sunday's crash of a new Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8, minutes after takeoff from Addis Abba, which killed all 157 people on board.

Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 was the second deadly crash of the same new plane type within five months. The crash of Lion Air Flight 610 shortly after takeoff from Jakarta last October killed all 189 people on board. (...)


Ex-FAA safety inspector: I would've grounded Boeing's troubled model yesterday 03:33
Pilot: Flight manual is 'inadequate and almost criminally insufficient'
Other pilot complaints from the federal database include a report saying it is "unconscionable" that Boeing, the US aviation regulatory agency (the Federal Aviation Administration) and the unnamed airline would have pilots flying without adequate training or sufficient documentation.
The same entry also charges that the flight manual "is inadequate and almost criminally insufficient."

he reports may offer evidence that pilots in the US may have experienced something related to what happened in the Lion Air tragedy.
Investigators in the Lion Air crash suspect it may have been caused by an angle of attack (AOA) sensor on the outside of the plane which transmitted incorrect data that could have triggered automated flight software called the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) that forced the plane's nose down.

In November, after the Lion Air crash, Boeing issued an "Operations Manual Bulletin" advising airline operators how to address erroneous cockpit readings.
It pointed airlines "to existing flight crew procedures to address circumstances where there is erroneous input from an AOA sensor," a Boeing statement said. The FAA later issued its own emergency airworthiness directive that advised pilots about how to respond to similar problems.
In a statement to CNN on Wednesday, American Airlines said it complied with November's FAA Emergency Airworthiness Directive and the fleet has "not had similar issues regarding an erroneous Angle of Attack during a manual flight.

" The carrier's Max 8 jets have "a combined total of more than 46,400 operating hours," the statement said, and have completed nearly 18,000 flights since they were added to the fleet in 2017.
The Ethiopian Airlines CEO said Tuesday that both pilots of Flight 302 had been trained and briefed on the FAA directive after the Lion Air crash.

"There was training" with emphasis "on MCAS and also on the flight controls in general," he said.
But the "similarities are substantial" in both accidents, GebreMariam said, adding that there are a lot of questions to be answered about the airplane.
CNN has reached out to the FAA and Boeing for comment, but has not heard back.

Foreign AffairsRe: See How Adolf Hitler Used Alien To Develop Weapon by panafrican(m): 5:54pm On Mar 13, 2019
Just like the alien spaceship crash in Rosweel New Mexico in 1947 grin


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD3gETJeCkg

Reading from History.com:
In the summer of 1947, a rancher discovered unidentifiable debris in his sheep pasture outside Roswell, New Mexico. Although officials from the local Air Force base asserted that it was a crashed weather balloon, many people believed it was the remains of an extraterrestrial flying saucer; a series of secret “dummy drops” in New Mexico during the 1950s heightened their suspicions.

Nearly 50 years after the story of the mysterious debris broke, the U.S. military issued a report linking the incident to a top-secret atomic espionage project called Project Mogul. Still, many people continue to embrace the UFO theory, and hundreds of curiosity seekers visit Roswell and the crash site every year.

One morning around Independence Day 1947, about 75 miles from the town of Roswell, New Mexico, a rancher named Mac Brazel found something unusual in his sheep pasture: a mess of metallic sticks held together with tape; chunks of plastic and foil reflectors; and scraps of a heavy, glossy, paper-like material. Unable to identify the strange objects, Brazel called Roswell’s sheriff.

The sheriff, in turn, called officials at the nearby Roswell Army Air Force base. Soldiers fanned out across Brazel’s field, gathering the mysterious debris and whisking it away in armored trucks.

On July 8, “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region” was the top story in the Roswell Daily Record. But was it true? On July 9, an Air Force official clarified the paper’s report: The alleged “flying saucer,” he said, was only a crashed weather balloon.

However, to anyone who had seen the debris (or the newspaper photographs of it), it was clear that whatever this thing was, it was no weather balloon.

Some people believed–and still believe–that the crashed vehicle had not come from Earth at all. They argued that the debris in Brazel’s field must have come from an alien spaceship.


These skeptics grew more numerous during the 1950s, when the Air Force conducted a series of secret “dummy drops” over air bases, test ranges and unoccupied fields across New Mexico.
These experiments, meant to test ways for pilots to survive falls from high altitudes, sent bandaged, featureless dummies with latex “skin” and aluminum “bones”–dummies that looked an awful lot like space aliens were supposed to–falling from the sky onto the ground, whereupon military vehicles would descend on the landing site to retrieve the “bodies” as quickly as possible.


To people who believed the government was covering up the truth about the Roswell landing, these dummy drops seemed just as suspicious. They were convinced that the dummies were actually extraterrestrial creatures who were being kidnapped and experimented on by government scientists.

Roswell and the Mysterious Project Mogul

It turned out that the Army knew more about Brazel’s “flying saucer” than it let on. Since World War II, a group of geophysicists and oceanographers from Columbia University, New York University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod had been working on a top-secret atomic espionage project at New Mexico’s Alamogordo Air Field that they called Project Mogul.

Project Mogul used sturdy high-altitude balloons to carry low-frequency sound sensors into the tropopause, a faraway part of the Earth’s atmosphere that acts as a sound channel. In this part of the atmosphere, sound waves can travel for thousands of miles without interference, much like under the ocean.

The scientists believed that if they sent microphones into this sound channel, they would be able to eavesdrop on nuclear tests as far away as the Soviet Union.

According to the U.S. military, the debris in Brazel’s field outside Roswell actually belonged to Project Mogul.
It was the remains of a 700-foot-long string of neoprene balloons, radar reflectors (for tracking) and sonic equipment that the scientists had launched from the Alamogordo base in June and that had, evidently, crashed in early July 1947.

Because the project was highly classified, no one at the Roswell Army Air Field even knew that it existed, and they had no idea what to make of the objects Brazel had found.

(In fact, some officials on the base were worried that the wreckage had come from a Russian spy plane or satellite–information that they were understandably reluctant to share with the public.) The “weather balloon” story, flimsy though it was, was the simplest and most plausible explanation they could come up with on short notice.
Meanwhile, to protect the scientists’ secret project, no one at Alamogordo could step in and clear up the confusion.



Roswell and 'Flying Saucerism' Today
Today, many people continue to believe that the government and the military are covering up the truth about alien landings at and around Roswell.
In 1994, the Pentagon declassified most of its files on Project Mogul and the dummy drops, and the federal General Accounting Office produced a report (“Report of Air Force Research Regarding the Roswell Incident”) designed to debunk these rumors.

Nevertheless, there are still people who subscribe to the UFO theory, and hundreds of thousands of curiosity seekers visit Roswell and the crash site every year, hoping to find out the truth for themselves.

This gives the ratio 73/ 151 which is 48 % of those who perished ( almost 50%).
It should not be a surprise if Al - Shabaab claimed responsibility.
The probability is even greater due to the role Ethiopia played in Somalia in the defeat of that terrorist group.

1. Obliterate Boko Haram
2. Wage a more agressice war on corruption
3. Start or innovate on big infrastructure and transportation projects. .
4. Make medical schools free, to help more Nigerians become doctors
5. Fund health care with the monies from oil and other natural resources so that any Nigerian who goes to hospital does pay not more that $2 ( Two dollars ) even for surgery.
