⚡Forbes reports that Britain’s Challenger tank is facing significant challenges in Ukraine, with Kiev's armed forces expressing amazement at the Challenger-2, albeit for all the wrong reasons.

The tank is reportedly bogging down in local terrain due to its heavy frame, its parts are prone to quick breakage, and maintenance is complicated as replacements need to be shipped from abroad.

Additionally, the tank relies on specific ammunition, necessitating an extra supply channel.

Interestingly, Forbes had previously suggested that the Challenger could easily breach Russian fortifications, a prediction now seemingly impractical as the tanks often find themselves immobilized.

France wants a war with Russia because evil Frenchs are pained Russia is undermining their exploitative practices in the Sahel and seems to be winning the proxy war there. I love the way those countries are moving away from Evil France. But Rather than move towards another evil in Russia. They should have charted an independent cause. Or play both sides.
Btw. France is very evil. There savagery is resounding

⚡Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov on Armenia:

The Armenian leadership, frankly speaking, under far-fetched pretexts, distorting the history of the last three years, is deliberately leading to the collapse of relations with the Russian Federation.

To the defamation of our military personnel who serve at the 102nd military base, to the defamation of our border guards, to the defamation of the Collective Security Treaty Organization as a whole.

Now military personnel from Norway, Canada and the United States are being sent there, turning the EU mission into a NATO mission.

I was watching a documentary on how and why the French imposed CFA on their colonies in Africa and I almost shed tears.

The most appalling of he exploitation for me. Is when the Francophone countries have to keep their treasury in France and also require approvals for it. Like WTF! this are sovereign nations.

On Lagos specifically, the Official Sanitary Report of 1887 had called attention to the alluvial nature of this tropical island that “could not be otherwise than malarious.” The argument held that Africans (especially children) were primary “hosts” for malaria parasites and sometimes yellow fever. In such a situation, it was argued, proximity of European to African residential areas meant undue exposure of Europeans to certain dangers, whereas it was believed that Africans could live with the malarial parasites, which were said to be lethal to Europeans. It was also argued, albeit erroneously, that the “native”, particularly children, were the main carriers of malaria and that since the resources to tackle the ailment was minimal, the only remedy was to segregate Europeans from the natives.

In his pursuit of “sanitary segregation scheme”, McGregor’s immediate successor Governor Egerton authorized the displacement of about 350 Africans from their substantive homes in the Race-Course to accommodate European officials. As predicted, this led to significant discontent and harmful resentment by the indigenous peoples who felt that they were being forced out of the desirable areas of Lagos. They widely expressed their dissatisfaction with this policy through petitions and the press and in some cases, social protests.

These health benefits were extended only to British officers and not to the general populace, thus highlighting the culture of social spacing and racially motivated alterity. Even so, the notoriety of Lagos town made strict adherence of this scheme extremely difficult, if not nearly impossible. Lagos was a melting pot of Europeans and Africans and had been an established contact point long before colonial rule. So, any attempt at residential segregation along any lines whatsoever would hardly be successful. With the unpopularity of this scheme in Lagos, Lugard had to look to new towns to actualize his policy. This led to the establishment of Zungeru in northern Nigeria as the capital of the colony.

In northern Nigeria, separate quarters were developed for the Europeans with no social contacts between them and the local Muslim
population. The Muslim inhabitants themselves were quite comfortable with the arrangement since they feared that proximity
to Europeans would jeopardize their religion. In relation to this segregation, a close reading of sources demonstrates that Lugard’s
actions were not purely for health or medical reasons. Rather, they were largely informed by the pervasive racial thinking that
dominated the period. Hence, much to the pleasure of Lugard, the medical theory was taken by Colonial Office medical authorities
and reinterpreted in a racial context in order to promote and justify residential segregation

lanre316:






But assuming US actually used ISIS as you claimed, what exactly do they stand to gain by unleashing ISIS on civilians of those other nations? I'm just curious.

It scores zero no military or political points and those nations will be more hostile to them (USA). I don't think USA is that daft to pull a stunt that confers no benefits to their long-term goals or am I missing something here?

Besides those ISIS are aspiring for and fighting for an establishment of Islamic caliphate. How's that aspiration related to the objectives of USA?

I made a comment not long about Africans and their religiosity and one dunderhead was insulting me. I just laughed it off, as usual.

Religious Africans are indeed funny set of humans, walahi. They are more Islamic than Arabs, more Christian than Europeans who respectively enslaved their forefathers and practically gave them those two foreign religions.

If it's to develop their nation and demand better governance from their leaders, they won't do shit, rather they will leave everything to their imaginary God. But if it's to defend their God, they are always at the forefront. Ready to kill their fellow brother to defend their imported Gods.

Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder said that his friendship with Vladimir Putin could help resolve the conflict in Ukraine, FAZ reports.

“We have collaborated intelligently over the years. Perhaps this can still help find a negotiated solution, I don’t see any other way,” he said.

Schroeder added that personal relationships can be useful for getting out of difficult situations in politics.

Do you know what's even worse?
We're actually being governed by these same religious nutcases.

Imagine being governed by someone who uses the religious teachings to run the government. We're going no where bro in Nigeria.

It's the poorest nations that are still holding tights to religion the most. Mostly the poorest in Africa.

You see so many talents wasted cos of their religious beliefs.
"Our church forbids this, God is against that, The Quran says this, the Quran says that" is always their excuse from exploring the world.

Not to forget that most of these idiots see no reason to be useful to the society because they're more interested in an imaginary paradise and sex orgy with virgins ..
