humberjade:USD is falling already that's why it seems Naira is gaining weight. Gold's high price attests to this. USD affects the Naira, Euro majorly affects CFA. However, since Naira has gained value due to falling USD, it seems also like gaining weight gradually b4 CFA. |

sharone21:So true, I agree with you. Imagine what will happen to dollars if all their allies indeed turn their backs to the US. |

Germany is more or less a colony of the U.S. with that Ramstein Air base over there. Good luck being independent. The U.K. and the rest of the so-called allies mirror the body language of the U.S. in almost everything. It is so obvious in this Trump administration, whether it is immigration policy or whatever, they eventually fall in line. |

I think it is necessary we note that a Germany in its full element will crush any version of Russia. Some historians have offered an alternative perspective to the creation of NATO - one I seems to agree with. They argued that NATO was established in part to checkmate Germany and not just Russia per say. |

Africa will be the greatest beneficiary of this cold war between US and EUROPE. That is if the leaders of Africa are wise enough to see the huge opportunity this rift between US and EUROPE creates for them and if they are patriotic enough to exploit it for the benefit of the continent. |

RodgersAkpafu:Don’t get your point exactly. The US spends on military, Europe spends on welfare, they don’t have to spend as much on Military cos America is protecting them. That’s a fact. |

RodgersAkpafu:In case it’s a genuine question, RUSSIA. Without US protection, Russia would have scattered the EU. They would have invaded the tiny Baltic States. Russia still wants to exercise influence over the former Soviet states, which have all joined the EU. Putin still hurts over the disintegration of USSR and loathes that former member States are forming alliance with the West. |

d142475:Russia is too small to scatter, it can only scatter those states like Finland and poland close to it, country like Germany can defeat Russia comfortable in a one one war. Europe is largely unstable and without an central government to act as a protector they might turn on each other thereby leading to a world war. |

Ewedegubbler:And who said they have not been paying for their own security, you all keep deceiving yourselves. Just watch the fall of the USA from world power within the next four years. or that village idiot will be impeached within the next four years. anyilalaz:Obviously they neveractually understood what the wanted, now they are complaining that this is not what they wanted. Ex0rrcist:You think this is your shithole continenets, no wonder you people from shithole countries are backward, you only wish evil thopughts in your heads. humberjade:You are right this will be the fall of the USA as world power. OpinionCounts:You are very right, but unfortunately African leaders do not have the interest of their citizens at heart, their heart are as dark a charcoal, we so much hate ourselves and thats too bad. |

fxexperts:That’s the point. Poland and the other small Baltic States are part of the EU |
