🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️- A dozen KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling planes in Europe are departing the region for the Middle East.

It's not known if the United States will be assisting Israel with its strikes on Iran, however given the size of the current presence in the Middle East and now the relocation of 12 tankers, tensions are at an all-time high.

Wahala 😂😂😂

180 Iranian ballistic missiles really humbled Israel. If it were before, Israel would have moved mad and bombed Iran quick quick.

Now, even Nethanyahu has realized that his madness has limits. Same Israel that was confidently bombing Iran's embassy back then and behaving as if they were God's assistant.

Now that Iran retaliated with just 180 missiles, Israel has mellowed and realized they're nothing but spineless cockroaches without the US and UK backing them.

Even with the US and UK, Israel is still collecting. And even the US and UK will collect if they dare to send ground troops.

Nethanyahu should do his madness. Iran will respond with 700 ballistic missiles 🤡🤡🤡

⚡The US will deploy a satellite-jamming weapon in 2025, Bloomberg reports, citing the US Space Force.

"A weapon designed to suppress Chinese and Russian satellites in the early stages of a conflict has overcome technical problems and is expected by next year, two years later than planned," the report said.

The system, known as Meadowlands, was supposed to be operational in 2020, but the new model has modern software and enhanced capabilities and should be operational in October 2022, the report said.

The Space Force plans to assess the combat readiness of the 32 weapons in January-March 2025, the agency said.

The Nigerian government speaks in future tenses. The only time you hear then say have is when they demolish property or do something bad.

Once I hear their future tenses, I stop reading.

🇨🇳💥China strikes back in trade war against EU

A retaliatory blow to the EU from China was not long in coming in the trade war, into which the impoverished Europeans entered on a whistle from Washington.

📉The Chinese authorities have introduced new customs duties on luxury products from “normal countries.” In this way, causing a fall in stock prices of leading companies.

⚡US General Mark Milley is now a Senior Adviser at JPMorgan.

JPMorgan is co-investing $15bn to rebuild Ukraine.

The same Ukraine that Gen. Milley helped destroy working for Biden/NATO.

In the process of "rebuilding" Ukraine with $15 billion, they'll steal $1 trillion of Ukranian resources.

Are you starting to get it?
Whatever is remaining of Ukraine would become a weapon factory and a farmland.

Nigeria is not that influential. Nigeria has a big market, but as the previous guy said, Nigeria would only drag everybody down. There are some players who have potential but would actually destroy your team if you added them, Nigeria is such a player.

Everybody knows this. Now if it were precolonial countries in the region such as my ancestral Benin empire, the story would have been different.
Edit: There was a Brics gathering in South Africa and Nigeria's president didn't even show up. That says it all, instead the vice president of Nigeria showed up and talked about how Nigeria wishes to do business with China outside of Brics 😓 now it would be foolish for Brics to even think adding Nigeria would be for the best.
Modified

You only ended up describing how important Nigeria is in the international scheme of things. cool

The VP, like you posited, said nonsense in South Africa where the president did not shoe up. Yet today, Nigeria has been accorded a partner status in BRICS . That says a lot.

By the way, how many teams have Nigeria destroyed internationally?

International politics goes way beyond reflective emotions.

What do we mean by being influential? Yes, one of African largest economy in terms of GDP, among the 30 best economies in PPP terms out of 195 nations of the world; the world most populous black nation, we are talking about approximately 230 million inhabitants, and projected to be half a billion in the next three decades. It is only an idiot wanna be intercontinental business man that would overlook the huge economic and cultural influence this country wields.

Yes, there are so many things wrong with Nigeria, but the reality is that it has and will always be difficult to deal with Africa without taking Nigeria into account.

China knows this.

The US knows this.

The EU knows this.

And the BRICS geoeconomic planners knows this too. Hence, the decision to put up Nigeria there as a partner nation.

Believe me, if Nigeria joins BRICS as full permanent member tomorrow, the whole west African subregion will board the ship the next day.

If the UN makes good it's intent to restructure the UNSC that will allocate two seats to Africa as being suggested, Nigeria is tipped to be one of the two permanent representatives. The reasons are obvious as described above.

People have legitimate reasons to hate and doubt Nigeria, but the fact remains it's still an influential force to reckon with.
