if that is what you understand by my post,then that is your problem. The usa has killed more people than germany and japan combined if you want to go that lane.
What do you think is the total number of death in the sino japanese war and in the WW2?

It's interesting to know Univerties are still open in Ukraine despite the bombardment by Russia.

Governor: First mobilized Russian troops arrive at the front line in Ukraine.

Only one week after Russia announced "partial" mobilization, the Russian conscripts have already arrived, sent to replenish the ranks of Russia's 1st Tank Army, said Luhansk Oblast Governor Haidai.
"They didn't undergo any training at all," Haidai said on Telegram.

Honestly, the only bigger threat to US in Europe after Russia is a strong and independent Germany. They will never allow it. That is why they have a huge military base there. Sometimes I feel Putin is baiting them into making this happen.
emperorshaokahn:
if this war leads to germany and the usa having problems, it would be one of the main takeaways. Already india and the usa are begining to have issues (usa just approved the sale of advanced weapons to pakistan). Imagine the usa's dealings in europe without the corporation of germany. While in asia,they will have china,india,north korea,etc to contend with. To me ehn, i want to see a germany that is no longer a vassel state to the usa, a germany that can now invest properly in its military (nuclear weapons). And most importantly a germany that has good relationship with russia,china,and india. The combination of four of this countries will be game over for the usa and her ambitions in europe and asia.

Maybe we should try the Muslim world and watch the most horrible massacre of humans ever.
America isn't perfect or near perfect any longer but still far better than all these repressive options people are touting due to unbridled hatred.

If Russia, China, or the Arab world led the industrial revolution do you think there would have been knowledge sharing and open research collaborations?
One only needs to search on Nairaland. You would be have tons of results of how an average chinese mistreats their Nigerian workers even here on our soil. Same China was terrorizing it's Muslim minority back home in China.
Re: Gov. by Nobody: 5:17pm On Sep 28, 2022
If you are looking for a Nation thay uses power without moral principles, USA is number one. The foundation of the country itself is immoral, dispossessing redo Indians and massacring them. Also, their history of invasions and atrocities in other countries. The only thing is that they have succeeded in enriching themselves and their citizens and prefer to deceive their citizens rather than coerce them. Meanwhile, the greatest evils perpetrated in history have always been under the excuse of fighting evil.
RepoMan007:
huh
Power without moral principle is the worst thing that can happen to mankind.
All those touted powers you are suggesting, do they have any regard for what is right over wrong?
I can't see any better superpower that's better than America rising from the earth today. The best shot would been from Africa based on religious inclination but were aren't civilized, organized, nor strong.

Imagine Russia, a superpower, what happens when another Putin rises and decides the Russian speaker in Finland or South Africa are complaining? He invades and plunders.
What about China? You want to see the end of religious freedom or brutal and unbearable colonialism with no benefits?

It is not about hitler or Second world war japan, it is about the state of those countries economies at that time. They were powerful and independent. Also, remember, it is always the winners who write history.

It is saddening that there are persons who are glorifying person's like Hitler and Japan's imperial govt which were progagators of the WW2 and the sino_japanese wars!

Hitler lead the Germany into the most fruitless loss in history and you say they were powerful!
The Japan menjin styled imperialist government followed suit because it's military officers dealt a decisive blow to Russia and pushed an invasion agenda to china!

Like I said a look at your boldened statement still reflects what I said earlier!

Well we have a war on our hands as a result of the same mentality!

Your last paragraph is not that true though... At some point in history, the Arab world controlled and developed science way before science was generally accepted in Europe.
Re: Gov. by Nobody: 5:34pm On Sep 28, 2022
I don't support Nigerian taking cro from any country whether it's the US or china. My point is that every nation should be allowed to determine its own destiny. The US criticises when you are not their ally nd turns away when you are acting according to their design. Acting like this is not sustainable and even American politicians recognise that their decline is inevitable. I was never a fan of Russia but I respect the capacity of the country to dust itself up after the collapse of the USSR into one of the fastest growing economies in the world without bowing to the west. China is another country succeeding without bowing to the west. There are American allies worse than these countries in terms of human rights. Meanwhile US got rich by doing worse things then this to other people. It has gotten abysmally worse in the past 20 years. Not only is the west decaying in discipline, they have completely lost touch of reality by defining reality in terms of their own fantasies. Whatever happens next will not be Russia or China's fault and it won't be only these countries that will suffer. Last last na everybody go chop breakfast.

USA freely shares its secrets, though not in entirety so China need not bow to anyone. All America asked for in russo-ukraine conflict was for Ukraine's sovereignty be respected and for Putin to stop invading places to protect Russian language speakers.

Imagine Cameroon invading Nigeria because Fulani speaking people are complaining about oppression. Imagine cameroundian army invading Nigeria for that or arming Fulani and encouraging them to take territories like Putin did to Ukraine?/

Lol... you can see the evidence in words like Algebra, Alcohol, Alkaline etc. The number system we use today was imported to the west through the Arabs and thats why its know as indo-Arabic numerical system. They contributed to the development of medicine, physics, mathematics, chemistry, astronomy, geology, philosophy etc.

Re: Gov. by Nobody: 6:01pm On Sep 28, 2022
Did USA respect Serbia's sovereignty. Did they respect Iraq's sovereignty. You have a country next to you that wants to join a military alliance that will invite your enemies to your door step. A neighbor that has violated n agreement meant to generate peace and stop the slaughtering of your brothers across the border (please google odessa massacre), When Cuba harbored Soviet missiles in the 50s, US threatened to annihilate them. Honestly, Putin has exhibited too much restraint. Pray he is not overthrown because the next Russian govt will be tougher.

They introduced the concept of zero. Which come in handy when you want to write billions and millions. The first true scientific methods can be attributed to the Islamic golden age. Read on Ibn Al-haytham

No scholar would tell you the history of science and forget to mention the Islamic Golden age and the advancement it brought to science.

Gradually, a revolution is evolving in Europe. The people will soon turn against their puerile leaders who have lost touch with reality.

Of course no doubt, USA is rich and better developed, it doesn't change the fact that it's government is a murderer. Because my uncle that sells drugs is rich and pays my school fees doesn't make him less of a criminal.

imagine a country of warriors, from the time of the holy roman empire, to the german empire. A country that has produced some badass leaders like bismarck and hitler,now playing boy boy to the usa. It is pathetic,the case of japan is even worse. Germany has the economy.the population,the techniques,the clout etc, to be a true superpower. I dont know what is wrong with them.
the horror of both the first and second world war is still a horror to them.... they haven't recovered fully yet.... its just a matter of time before a new nightmare that's worst than Putin comes out from Germany

Re: Gov. by petesunday: 6:42pm On Sep 28, 2022
There were other leaders in the old Germany and Japan before Hitler and emperor Hirohito. Germany developed rapidly under Otto Von Bismarck and became a strong European power at the beginning of the 20th century. Japan was isolated for centuries with the Meiji dynasty ruling Samurai style. After a war with British they realises how under-equipped they were and started to modernise their country. This is what I am talking about not second world war.

It would have made sense for Russia to invade with weapons of mass destruction as excuse than protection of Rus language speakers. They even armed separatists and encourage them to expand territory within Ukraine. That's far from what US and allies did to those nations you are mentioning.
