but you know being allies is different from being able to accept military aid. Shebi Cuba na Russia ally, do you thing the USA will ever allow Russia have military presence in Cuba. Don't let's argue further with ourselves its clearing that the USA most of the time does to other world powers what they can't allow to be done to them.

USA has almost 60,000 troops in the whole of Europe, in Germany alone they have like 35,000 troops in the country. They've maintain a high military presence in Germany since the end of world war two. And no foreign military has a regiment in the USA

funny when you don't know ish and you're asking someone else "Do you know".
Germany are not allowed to have a standing army as per the terms of surrender in WW2. They do have National guard to defend Germany so those forces you are quick to count are NATO forces.
Every NATO member have a base occupied by NATO forces even the US so I don't know where you get your own info from

I swear
As an Africans will are cursed with useless leaders especially black Nations. I have been to over 10 Africa countries and apart from the capital of those countries not to wrote home about the rest cities.
Senegal
Ghana
Niger
Benin rep
S/ Leone( I have S/Leone passport cheesy)
In short all west Africa countries.

Leaders are the product of the masses. Look at Nigeria for example, since 2019, SM has been filled with "our mumu dn done" "we'll speak with our PVC" "never again".

Now that we're close to 2023, the same people that were saying all those things are now backing the very institutions they were preaching against.

I believe when Africa has had enough, it will start producing good leaders

ogbeni read to understand. You came here claiming the US doesn't have Taiwanese interest at hand but it's because of the same US Taiwan is still standing. So what if they are pulling strings, how does that not imply that they have Taiwanese interest at hand.

China is world power with how many allies?.... seriously how do you people think US is recognised as a world power. Do you think it's only because of military and economic might?
You still have a lot to learn before coming to say what you clearly don't have an idea about.

You talk about Iraq but won't talk about the liberation of Kuwait from the hands of Iraq or the ending of Al Qaeda from the Middle East.

You mention Afghanistan but won't say anything about how the citizens of Afghanistan risked their own life to get on the last plane of the "invader" just to leave the "peaceful" Talibans reign. You won't mention the women that have been forced to stop working or the girls that have been stopped from acquiring education.

Like I said earlier, what exactly are u saying cause all you have done is not say anything
Awe!..u are going too far. Let's keep it within what's trending.
But ofcourse, feel free to enlighten me since you know it all.
Let me put it in a simpler way for u to understand...US "protection" of Taiwan also favors them. It would be naive of you to say the US is doing it pro bono undecided..
If the US isn't bothered about China's growth/influence in Asia, why all fuss?..why empower its neighbors?..why all the naval military drills with Australia and Japan. U think US would expend that much time and resources just because they "love" the pple of Taiwan?..or u think US alliance with S.Korea is just because the love Korea movies?..expand ur perspective bro..
Saudi Arabia has been pelting Yemen with bombs for years..what has Uncle Sam done?..What has uncle Sam done abt the military junta in Myanmar?.
Anyway..if u still don't understand the case in point, don't bother to quote/reply me.
Peace..

Before we proceed, I've never claimed to know it all.

You're asking questions that shouldn't be asked in the first place. Who does anything for free? Reason why I asked how many pro bono work you have done?

they drills are to enhance cooperation between different Navies and show of strength among allies.

About Myanmar, that's China ally and guess whose side China is on? the military not the civilian that wants civil rule so why bring the US into it.

As long as things stay the way they are, the dollar will remain the international currency of exchange which is all the US care about.

Have you ever heard the US go all out to subjugate Canada and Mexico to its will? There's a reason for that. But instead of China to look to do the same, they are following Russia lead of their to form boss to its neighbors giving the US the perfect scenario for alliances.

Like what's really in Ladakh that China can't come to amicable agreement with India thus opening door for an alliance. Must Taiwan reunite with mainland China? if they are so bend on 16th century map, why don't they use horses for transport?
South China Sea? They are having troubles with potential allies over something trivial.

Pari passu, the Gulf of Mexico is rich in natural resources just like the South China Sea but did you see the US go all out the fight Mexico over it?
no. because something that trivial will open US backyard to its enemies.

But China and Russia will fight its neighbors over everything and then turn around to blame the West when those neighbors seek alliance to stop the bully and you guys will buy the propaganda

I tell people, Africans can’t change no matter what?
Look at Gambia now after Jamel ran away from that country.
Things just got worst.
Look at Nigeria government that uses Twitter for campaign elections but only to turn around and banned it because they can’t stand the youth.
Few months to election again, they are opening it.
Now the same youths are campaigning for same set of people that have destroyed this country

Mr Neuf the 35k troops I'm talking about are pure USA military members of their EUCOM. I'm not even talking about NATO at all. I'm talking solely about USA troops. Aside from Japan, Germany has the highest numbers of USA troops outside American borders. Abeg sir you too read small

Well then..since you have agreeded that u don't know it all, for posterity sake...simply state ur facts and avoid statements that border on the quality or quatity of knowledge we both possess.
Be that as it may, if u had understood my opening statement in the first quote "US is more concerned about their influence in Asia", it could have saved us this unnecessary banter. I believe u now understand that the US would seize every opportunity to increase their alliances and sphere of influence in other regions..a useful method of checkmating any perceived or growing threat. Taiwan is just another tool.

I do know more than you, that's a fact. I don't know it all, that's another fact. is that clear enough for you?

you make statements that on the surface look to make sense but actually don't in any form.

What's Taiwan stand on the international scene that by virtue of backing them will increase US influence in Asia. Do you know how stubborn those Asians are when it comes to self pride and dignity.
China can overrun Taiwan today and it won't do US any harm in Asia if they choose to fold their hand.
How many countries do you think officially recognise Taiwan as a sovereign state.

dude you funny, talk about Taiwan is a tool of US influence in Asia. smh

I'm sure you must be a headslammer because they are the only one not happy seen a strong natio like US not allowing them too spread their demonic religion of Vampire forcefully around the world.
Are you so dumb to involve religion into this? What religion is Russia spreading? You are not current with world politics and how things works I hate to argue with people who have zero knowledge about what we are discussing here, the Russians want Ukraine as their allies to reunite The broken USSR to form strong alliance, discussion is under way with Ukraine, someone need to explain to you that is a campaign of winning more countries to become your political allies, as for Fulani herdsmen they’re invading your country yet you find it bad to see someone condemning it.

The cold war ended and as far as I am concerned NATO should have been disbanded. But no, they started expanding closer to Russian borders and placing weapons near russian soil. During the cold war, Russia attempted to put missiles and weapons in Cuba and the US was frothing from their mouth; so why would you expect Russia to do otherwise? Russia is not comfortable with NATO expanding into its sphere of influence. You cannot flog a child and ask the child not to cry. The West and US are just trying to bully Russia and get away with it. Good luck to all of them!
