⚡4-Star General & former CIA Director David Petraeus:

If we allow Ukraine to fall, Russia will next invade Moldova or the Baltics.

Ukraine only needs a very small part of our own military budget. We must help Ukraine achieve victory.

The US can easily afford to accept an aid package for Ukraine, our military budget for 2 years was $1.7 trillion.
This is one of the clown that said Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.

⚡Germany to lift veto on Eurofighter sale to Saudi Arabia after their use against Houthi attacks

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock signals the ruling coalition in Berlin is prepared to lift a veto on selling Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets to Saudi Arabia.

Baerbock said during a visit to Jerusalem that the Saudi role in thwarting Yemen-based Houthi rebel attacks on Israel mean that Germany can no longer justify blocking Britain’s wish to supply the fighters.

She said it’s “an open secret” that the Saudi air force is deploying Eurofighters against the Houthis and that “this shows Riyadh’s efforts for a better future in the region.”

⚡China announced that its security agencies have uncovered another case of espionage involving the British Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6, employing a foreign individual in China to gather confidential information.

As per China's Ministry of State Security's disclosure on their WeChat social media platform, a person surnamed Huang, overseeing an overseas consulting agency, was discovered to have established an "intelligence cooperative relationship" with MI6 in 2015. Following this connection, MI6 allegedly directed Huang to make multiple visits to China, utilizing his public persona as a facade to gather intelligence on China for British espionage purposes.

Moreover, MI6 purportedly provided professional intelligence training to Huang within Britain and other locations, along with supplying specialized espionage gear for cross-linking intelligence, as stated by China's government.

⚡Iran has clear positions regarding the situation in the South Caucasus region and transit corridors, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has said in response to a statement from Turkey on the so-called Zangezur Corridor.

“Iran has clear positions regarding the situation in the South Caucasus region and transit corridors, he noted. We are making a lot of efforts to establish peace, stability, and security in the regional countries. We emphasize that developing transit cooperation cannot be a basis for geopolitical changes and violation of the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of countries,” IRNA quoted Kanaani as saying at a press briefing.

The Turkish Minister of Transport and Infrastructures Abulkadir Uraloglu has said that Ankara expects to complete what he described as the “Zangezur Corridor” project by 2029.

⚡The Australian government has banned its citizens from performing Nazi salute and displaying Nazi symbols, Australian Attorney General Mark Dreyfus said on Monday.

In the summer of 2023, a bill to ban Nazi symbols was submitted to the Australian parliament.

"It is now unlawful to perform the Nazi salute in public or to publicly display, or trade in, Nazi hate symbols, with the Albanese Government’s landmark legislation coming into force today (Monday, 8 January). The new laws also ensure that glorifying and praising acts of terrorism are criminal offences under Commonwealth law," Dreyfus said in a statement.

⚡Chinese state-owned shipping giant Cosco Shipping will stop visiting Israeli ports. Cosco is the fourth largest company in the global container market, accounting for about 11 percent of all global trade.

This is a very significant development for two main reasons beyond the actual trade between the Far East and Israel, which involves many purchases on sites such as Ali Express: first, Cosco is working in partnership with Zim, which will now be required to ship additional vessels on the line. As a result, after delivery costs have already increased, a further increase in the Zim price could occur due to the shortage of ships.

The Zero Covid policy was a disaster. Even theCCP later backdown something they rarely do with their policy. Couple with the real estate crisis of a sector that accounts for 30% of China's GDP. with heavyweight like Evergrande defaulting in that sector. Also the Export based model which China based it's growth on is crumbling for various reasons like rise of protectionism and trade wars. Now China is trying to simulate domestic demands to fill up it's economy which the CCP is having a hard time doing ( For context, domestic demands account for 70-80% of GDP of America and others). What about drying FDI as a result of CCP Harming of International firms all in the name of counter espionage law. It goes on and on. Even XI made a rare admissions this new year that they are struggling.
Between, do you watch Chris Chappelle's China Uncensored?? Incase you don't I will want you to check it out on YouTube. It will broaden your horizon viz a viz what's going on in China.

⚡North Korea has violated the military agreement of September 19 more than 3000 times and conducted artillery shelling in the Yellow Sea over the past three days. As a result, the zone intended to cease hostilities no longer exists. Essentially, North Korea's actions have rendered the inter-Korean agreement legally ineffective.

Gaddafi hated dark Africans?

You're very funny though.

Can you please help us with evidences of wildspread maltreatment of dark Africans in Libya during Gaddafi's time?

I want to check something..

At least I'm 100% sure Libya was one of the hotspots for Nigerians wanting to migrate due to the opportunities that filled Libya then.

My dad was Julius berger back then and they were supposed to go Libya for a project and the rule Gaddafi gave was equally treatment for both the foreigners and the black that is the reason they couldn't go.

He said the same type of car that the expertiates are going to use, is the same ones the staff will use too so berger refused to go.
Thank you

I want to read the evidences erniok got for us to have written what he wrote.

Though they were citizens who hated dark Africans Just because he didn't like Gaddafi (tribal hatred).

We saw that hatred play out after the death of Gaddafi, they started killing and selling organs of dark Africans across Libya, something that was never a thing during Gaddafi's years of leadership.

⚡Former German President Joachim Gauck scares Germans with Russia and demands help to Ukraine.

Without this help, he is convinced, Kiev’s chances of victory are reduced and the “threat to the free world” increases.

“I cannot understand why we hesitate to supply Taurus missiles and other ammunition. We are allowed to do this. And we must do it - with everything that we have at our disposal,” the media quotes him as saying.

A Russian victory, he said, would jeopardize the security of other European countries. And Europe, he says, is not ready to confront “the threat emanating from Russia.”
