obedience4: Forget the social media glam, it's not easy there too. Do you know how many homeless people are in the US alone? We have a good number of net positive millionaires here in Nigeria, millionaires and even ordinary people with no debt to their names. I'm not here to argue with you, if you feel it's only abroad you can make it, by all means go ahead but I'm against demarketing Nigeria because you think abroad is better. |

Amayabor1:you should educate yourself often. In every war there are people that benefit from it. Companies make those weapons, that the government buy from, companies produces the supplies that they gather and send to these countries, don't you think that these establishments are not gaining from the war? Most of those establishment are owned by private citizens. And for the GDP bull shit, it has nothing to do with how the citizens are living, I don't talk from reading books I'm telling you that people in the USA are going through difficult Times, just like you are going through yours. |
Re: US Senate Passes $95.3b Package For Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan And Indo-pacific by Amayabor1: 2:23pm On Apr 25 |
harmargedon: Ignorance at its peak! You have just danced around the subject matter without dwelling on the subject. In any war, companies making weapons will gain. It is a fact world over. So, that US companies are producing Weapons to be bought by countries at war and they are making gains is not a new thing (after all, the Russia- Ukraine war was started by Russia, not that the US started the war because it wants to sell weapons. Russia started this war). And every nation that produces military Weapons gain from it too. Pakistan buys weapons from China, India buys weapons from France, US etc. Russia buys drones from Turkey, Iran. Russia recently bought ballistic missiles from North Korea. Etc. What some of you clowns don't know is that most US weapon sales have been to countries that are not at war; Greece, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Norway etc. These are countries that are boosting their military in order to fight off any future aggressor. They are not at war. The only war going on in the world right now is the Russia-ukraine war and the Israeli war in Gaza. And you know what? most of the US military supplies to Isreal and Ukraine are in the form of aids. They are not paying for most of the weapons. So, when some of you clowns talk about the US fueling wars abroad to sell their weapons and that US senators are gaining from wars, I just laugh. 99% of countries buying US Weapons are not at war? Nigeria bought US weapons some months ago. Is Nigeria at war? Let's even assume, without conceding, that the US is selling weapons to countries at war. How are the US senators gaining? Does any US senator own a weapon manufacturing company? Is any current US senator a board member of any of these companies? Open mouth waaaaaah! PS: I talked about GDP per capital, not GDP. Please, educate yourself on the difference between GDP and GDP per capital and stop disgracing yourself. Most US citizens are living very well and every country have people going through hard times. |

Re: US Senate Passes $95.3b Package For Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan And Indo-pacific by Amayabor1: 12:27pm On Apr 26 |
harmargedon: Useless dunce beating around the bush. 😂😅 Some major US weapons manufacturers include Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, BAE. Which of these companies is owned by a US senator? Which of these companies have a serving US Senator on it's payroll? Dunce! 😂. You must tell me how US senators are benefitting from weapons sale. You alleged, you must prove. Provide evidence of how US senators are benefitting. I am also waiting for you to tell me the countries that are at war that the US is benefitting selling weapons to. Lastly, have you checked the difference between GDP and GDP per capita? Dimwit! 😅 |

Amayabor1:ass hole, I work in one of this companies, and I've been in the US for a long time. So stop acting dumb. |
Re: US Senate Passes $95.3b Package For Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan And Indo-pacific by Amayabor1: 1:27pm On Apr 26 |
harmargedon: Clown. And I am a permanent resident of the US, thought currently not in the states. You work in one of the companies right? Good! Then tell me how serving US senators are benefitting from US Weapons manufacturers. Any senator on the payroll of the company you work for? You work in one of a US weapons manufacturing company and you didn't know that almost all nations (99%) that buys US weapons are not even at war? Okay. I will let this slide. Please, tell me SPECIFICALLY how US senators are benefitting. And do you now know the difference between GDP and GDP per capita? 🥲 |
Re: US Senate Passes $95.3b Package For Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan And Indo-pacific by harmargedon: 3:24pm On Apr 26 |
Amayabor1:can't reveal that to you bro. 😁😁😁😁 You keep on hitting on the bolded just to stay woke, even when you And I know all that doesn't define the real fact of what's going on in the US. Because I chose not to answer it, doesn't mean that I don't know what it means. Weather you believe it or not, in the nearest future I'll quote you again based on this. |
Re: US Senate Passes $95.3b Package For Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan And Indo-pacific by Amayabor1: 5:39pm On Apr 26 |
harmargedon: Lol. Reveal what? Keep quite. You know nothing. 🤣😂😅😅 US senate rules forbids senators from being board members of profit making organizations to avoid conflict of interest. Same thing with holding shares of companies that operates in an area that falls within the purview of a Senate committee that they are in. Imagine a US senator in a senate committee investigating Facebook and also being a shareholder in Facebook. I have given you enough time to redeem yourself but it seems your foolishness is irredeemable.. Let me give you a quick lecture. Members of Congress tend to allocate huge funds to the military so they can spend on defense contractors, delay the retirement of military hardwares and so on because of the ripple effects it has on their constituency. More funds into manufacturing of weapons translates to more employment opportunities for Americans. Some years ago, the Pentagon had planned to discontinue the F-16 program. This was rejected my some senators? Why? Because discontinuing the F-16 will mean that companies that produce components of the F-16 fighter jet will either fold up or lay off some workers resulting in job loss. This can negatively affect their re-election, especially when an opponent makes it an election campaign. As for you knowing what GDP per capita is, please STFU. 🤣🤣🤣. I talked about GDP per capita and you responded talking about GDP. Moreover, almost all nations of the world are experiencing inflation, not just the US. You still can't mention nations that are in war that the US is selling weapons to? 🤡 |

Re: US Senate Passes $95.3b Package For Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan And Indo-pacific by Amayabor1: 8:17am On Apr 27 |
harmargedon: Lol. You have played dirty before with your indirect and direct insults. Anyways, let's discuss like adults like you said. How do serving US senators benefit from weapons sale? And which countries at war has the US benefitted in selling weapons to? Sincerely want to know. |

Amayabor1: Do you know what the term " lobbyist" means? It is a legal way of owning a senator by a corporation , to push their agenda, while paying these senator through the backdoor eg you can invite a senator to give a book lecture and pay him $10 mill . That same talk could be paid for by $50,000 but because you are indirectly paying him to push bills in your company's interest, you pay him in a way that you are not directly at risk of law. |

caye: But this doesn't apply here. The weapons manufacturing companies are not the ones going to the Senate for these approvals to be made. The military seeks funds for military hardware, they go to Congress for funds. Congress gives them the funds (by way of military budget for example) and they pay the companies to produce the weapons they want. It will make more sense if you said these companies lobby the US military establishment (which is what really happens). They are the ones that will then go to Congress to impress on the need for them to allocate funds for the manufacturing, upgrading, maintenance of military hardware. Upon approval, the contract is given to these companies. The US Congress from time to time, invites top US military personnel to come defend why a certain military hardware is needed or shouldn't be scrapped. I have never seen where they invited a defense contractor to come explain why they are manufacturing F-35 fighter jet, for example, for the military. That may happen if maybe they are carrying out an investigation into a certain program. Here is my point; The Senate has little or no business with US weapons manufacturers so lobbying them rarely arises. 1. Defense contractor lobbies the US military establishments on the need for the military to own a certain hardware (e.g fight jet, missiles etc) 2. The military goes to Congress to ask for funds for these hardwares, providing evidence of the benefits it provides to the US. 3. Congress gives approval, contract is awarded to the company. |

Amayabor1: My dear friend, you have either been watching CNN, Fox news or listening to BBC. The truth will shock you. ALL THE SENATORS are bought and paid for by different Master-Corporations. But they are well hidden. Don't forget, the federal reserve that prints the dollar is in fact a PRIVATE CORPORATION just like the City of London ( not London as the capital; but the financial district owned by the Rothschilds and friends). And they are not usually audited. What does that tell you? When Epstein trial was on, they televised Johnny Depp and his ex-wife's trial, so as to distract ppl, but Epstein trial? No televising. Why? Because it affected the most powerful ppl in American rulership ( note this word). I would have delved more...but my friend, I've made peace with this current world , that would soon be destroyed, to make way for a new world. ( world, not earth). Maybe the new world will be led by the Chinese; but it is safe to say , it will be also brutal but at least it may be visible . The empire of America is on its last legs , and it will be destroyed after a big war. |
