House negro, you know I patrol this page once in a while, and you get liver write this nonsense eh?

I won't type much, but attached is a picture of young Putin who at this time was a KGB agent back then once worked as a military advisor for Fremlio ( Mozambique independent/resistance movement)

Almost, if not all Southern african countries owe their independence to the USSR, from the supply of weapons, training, diplomatic pressure, scholarships to African future leaders etc.

It's not a coincidence that African countries largely got their independence in the 60's, the same period the USSR got the atomic bomb. I'll let you research this one out.
Just another large gabbage of rubbish.

Clown, I asked what benefits have Russia to the African continent? this "pillock" is writing rubbish. Is Russia the only Soviet Union?? Was Ukraine not part of the Soviet Union??

You can't even think of anything tangible. Pillock has to backdate to the Soviet era, Mr man what was the Russian federation african policy 5 years ago? 10 years ago? 15 years ago?. What has nigeria benefited from Russia. The imaginary steel plant??

What has the African continent benefited from the Russia federation bar military coups and mercenaries??

Run off you clown don't you mention me with your nonsense.

Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah's book "Neocolonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism", published in 1965.



"In 1965, [Kwame Nkrumah] actually called it neocolonialism.

The last stage of imperialism.
In this book, [he] lays out the grand master plan for Europe and America's recolonization of Africa.

And [he] did it in plain language.
The Western world read that book and said, this man has to go......

The USSR has always supported Africa. They helped many African countries during their fight for independence from your masters. Ethiopia was not colonized thanks to the USSR who helped them as well.


He asked you a simple question. How many years has Niger , Mali been pro Russian. Instead of answering you went to write these epistle 😁😁😂.

Nigeria benefitted from Russia in terms of weapons sales, when your masters wanted boko haram to take over Nigeria, Russia sold us weapons since your masters refused to sell and then went on to champion the bringbackourgirls campaign. The weapons bought was used to fight boko haram during Jonathan's administration and that of Buhari until your masters decided to sell to us again during Buhari's 2nd term because they wanted something in return😋😁😁
Don't you think there is something wrong? I asked
you a simple question what has Africa and Nigeria gain from Russia, you had to backdate to the Soviet era to pull up some colonial bullsh!+. dude the Soviet Union broke up in 1991. What have Nigeria and the African continet benefited from Russians??

Weapons sales is what Nigeria has benefited from the Russia federation and you are happy about it? No infrastructure development? No medical and research aids, no educational grants and investments. No tangible Forgien direct investments. Just weapons. Well done 👏

How many countries in Africa can count Russia as it biggest source of aid? How many countries in Africa can count Russia as it main source of foreign direct investments. How many Russian sponsored projects are going on in Africa??

China Africa policy is clear to the blind, you can see what they are trying to achieve, please tell us Russia Africa policy before the Ukraine war?? Russia is currently distorting the political settings in africa creating dangerous precedent by not only sponsoring but warming up to military coups. Trumping upon the will of the people who voted in leaders.

We saw people calling for military coups in the north waving Russia flags. Sending disturbing signals to the military, the Ukraine war is the only reason why Russia became interested in Africa.

I guess Mali and Burkina faso are now prosperous and safe since they brought in the Russians. Have the terrorist attacks the main reason for the juntas taking power stopped??

@HealthRanger

NATO is now checkmated. Oreshnik just changed the game. NATO leaders are too "woke" and retarded to realize it yet, but they're already defeated. Hint: Russia has no doubt put its Oreshnik kinetic weapon systems into intercontinental NON-NUCLEAR missiles. This means Russia can take out the White House, for example, without using a nuke at all, and there is no defense whatsoever against this new weapon system. With Oreshnik, Russia can essentially rain down high-velocity kinetic weapons with impunity, anywhere on the planet, by harnessing the gravity well of Earth. Nobody in the western corporate media has realized this yet. Russia has out-engineered all the militaries of the west, at a fraction of the budget of western countries. This is a significant historical pivot point in military technology, but almost nobody sees it yet. It will sink in pretty soon, especially as more hypervelocity masses start raining down from the heavens onto western targets. I'm calling this weapon "Wrath of God" for now because it's exactly how God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. High energy kinetic weapons dropped from space. While Russia achieved significant, historic weapons breakthroughs, the U.S. announced an all-gay helicopter pilot crew and rolled out a wig-wearing transgender as a Space Force official.[/b]
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by ariesbull: 6:10pm On Nov 30, 2024
The question of whether the U.S. military can intercept a Russian #Oreshnik #hypersonic #missile if it were to attack Western Europe is complex:

- **Speed and Manoeuvrability**: Hypersonic missiles like the Oreshnik are designed to travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound), with some reports indicating speeds up to Mach 10 for the Oreshnik. Their ability to change trajectory during flight makes them particularly challenging for traditional missile defence systems.

- **Current Missile Defence Systems**:

- **#THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense)**: While effective against a variety of ballistic missiles in their terminal phase, THAAD's maximum intercept speed is around Mach 8 to Mach 8.3, which might be insufficient for a missile like Oreshnik at its top speed, especially if it manoeuvres unpredictably.

- **#Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense**: The Aegis system, particularly with SM-3 Block IIA interceptors, is designed for exo-atmospheric intercepts but has its limitations regarding the speed and manoeuvrability of hypersonic threats.

- **#Patriot PAC-3**: This system is more geared towards intercepting short to medium-range tactical ballistic missiles. Although upgraded versions can handle faster threats, intercepting a hypersonic missile like the Oreshnik would be at the edge or beyond its capabilities due to the speed and potential mid-course manoeuvres.

- **Technological Challenges**:

- **Detection and Tracking**: The high speed of hypersonic missiles means they have a very short window for detection, tracking, and interception. Current radar systems might not provide enough early warning time.

- **Interception**: The manoeuvrability of hypersonic glide vehicles makes them hard to predict, reducing the effectiveness of current intercept technologies.

- **Statements from Experts and Leaders**: - Russian President Vladimir #Putin has claimed that there's no current means to defend against the Oreshnik, emphasising its speed and the limitations of existing missile defence systems. However, these statements should be viewed with a degree of skepticism as part of strategic posturing or military signalling.

- Some existing #NATO and US missile defence systems are not designed or proven effective against such advanced threats, especially with hypersonic capabilities. But the US never reveals all its capabilities to any one, so we do not know for sure.

**Conclusion**: While the U.S. military has advanced missile defence capabilities, intercepting a missile like the Oreshnik, especially given its reported hypersonic speed and potential for multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (#MIRVs), would be extremely challenging with known current technology.

- **Development of New Technologies**: The U.S. is actively working on counter-hypersonic technologies since Russia revealed its hand in 2022, but as of now, these systems are not known to be fully operational or publicly confirmed to be effective against such advanced threats.

- **Strategic Deterrence**: Much of the defence against such missiles might rely more on strategic deterrence rather than interception, focusing on making potential aggression against allied territories too costly or risky for any adversary. Therefore, while there are ongoing efforts to develop capabilities against #hypersonic threats, the current consensus, based on the information available and the speed of advancements in missile technology, leans towards acknowledging the difficulties in reliably stopping such an attack.

Never forget that Vladimir Putin was only asking for:
🔴Respecting Minsk agreement
🔴Don’t expand NATO eastward
🔴Keep Ukraine neutral

NATO achieved exactly what it wanted, put Russia in a position it could not stay passive.

Brainwashed Ukrainians are now paying the ulitmate price.

Tell him to take up arms and fight and die because of land. Thousands of Russians have died because of land.
It's easy for a f**l like writiNG to write rubbish from his hut. Humans seems dispensable to him because his family and friends( I doubt a f**l like him have friends) are not directly involved in the conflicts.
When young men are trying to better their lives. All they're trying to do is make money, play ps5, flex with better banny and enjoy with friends is what one nonentity here is calling for an annexation on Canada or Mexico.
Young people are not ready to die for any politician war now. If any mad man politician causes an aggregation then him and his family should fight in it. Even the mad man Putin knows better by recruiting criminals & convicts to fight in his avoidable mess. The moment he start forcing young Russian men, e Don be for him.
Country close to the US are gaining a lot in time of economic growth and social advancement, what do people gain from Russia? Nothing, na only weapons Russia dey sell. No ideology, no mutual economic benefits, nothing at all.
All through the cold war, they no fit even pass better economic growth to it allies. The major project Nigeria got from the soviet turns out to be a scam.

Wetin dey pain the US pass for this Ukraine war be say Russia dey get bigger in size.

Russia is expanding while the US is not. Yes NATO is enlarging but are the countries in NATO getting bigger? NO. They still remain the same.

I'm sure the US have had thoughts of taking some parts of Mexico or Canada but they're too afraid of paying the ultimate price for it. They don't wanna lose their comfortable lifestyles over it. That's why they're green with envy over Russia taking eastern Ukraine.

One day the NATO alliance will no longer be relevant and everyone will pack their bags and go back to their tiny countries while Russia would have added in size.


One day all the countries housing US military personnel will tell them to pack up and leave, like with Niger and co, It's just a matter of time.

Russians think in centuries. 100 years from now future Russians will be enjoying the fruits of the newly added lands and all it's resources while future Europeans & Americans will envy them as usual, not knowing that the past Russians paid for it in blood and sweat. Just like they did with St Petersburg and Vyborg.
and Russia millitary bases will stay in the countries they currently are forever while nato disbands same nato countries are queing to join while russia is been expelled undermined world wide but it is nato they'll pursue, some of you need brain check, we no hear any news BRICS again oo
