China used its GJ-11 stealth UCAV to perform a reconnaissance over Taiwan's major air force base and released the footage. US supplied air defence systems didn't detect it.

the us response had me in stitches

We strongly oppose any unilateral actions that undermine peace in the Taiwan Strait.
how the mighty have fallen
china has demonstrated its capability and intention to establish complete freedom of action over all of taiwan in peacetime
they usually only breach the ADIZ
no more
and the us can't cough

na to release photos of japanese bases next

I only argue with you when I have time to waste. Outside of that, I just remind you of the many times you have supported terror groups, genocides, and shameless murder of civilians.

You are the same person who will say one thing in one post and then contradict yourself in your very next post. And once you are boxed into a corner and cannot defend yourself anymore, you will promptly call upon one of your allies to save you.

Your support for JNIM is well-documented and trying to backtrack once JNIM killed people in Kwara isn't going to fly around here.
Since you believe yourself to be on the right, I implore you to continue praising Yahya Sinwar and many others. With the situation in Nigeria right now, it is almost 100% certain that intelligence agencies will most likely be monitoring this thread. I believe you shouldn't be scared of defending yourself since you are on the right.

Quick Test:

As for me, I can reproduce my statement about JNIM dealing with Traore a hundred times, the question is whether you can also repeatedly praise Yahya Sinwar, Nasrallah and your so called heroes now that this thread is gaining or about to gain widespread massive international attention. The ball is in your court.

If the above is correct, them there is no doubt you have wasted a very significant part of your laif on this thread. Your profile was created in 2023 and you have spent a total of over 2 months and a half online. Compare that to Gbadebo19 which was created in 2019 and has spent very much less time compared to yours. In fact, you dwarf that profile by over one month.

Isn't it high time you started being productive?

https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/12/from-prophet-to-product-how-ai-came-back-down-to-earth-in-2025/

Following two years of immense hype in 2023 and 2024, this year felt more like a settling-in period for the LLM-based token prediction industry. After more than two years of public fretting over AI models as future threats to human civilization or the seedlings of future gods, it’s starting to look like hype is giving way to pragmatism: Today’s AI can be very useful, but it’s also clearly imperfect and prone to mistakes.

That view isn’t universal, of course. There’s a lot of money (and rhetoric) betting on a stratospheric, world-rocking trajectory for AI. But the “when” keeps getting pushed back, and that’s because nearly everyone agrees that more significant technical breakthroughs are required. The original, lofty claims that we’re on the verge of artificial general intelligence (AGI) or superintelligence (ASI) have not disappeared. Still, there’s a growing awareness that such proclaimations are perhaps best viewed as venture capital marketing. And every commercial foundational model builder out there has to grapple with the reality that, if they’re going to make money now, they have to sell practical AI-powered solutions that perform as reliable tools.

This has made 2025 a year of wild juxtapositions. For example, in January, OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, claimed that the company knew how to build AGI, but by November, he was publicly celebrating that GPT-5.1 finally learned to use em dashes correctly when instructed (but not always). Nvidia soared past a $5 trillion valuation, with Wall Street still projecting high price targets for that company’s stock while some banks warned of the potential for an AI bubble that might rival the 2000s dotcom crash.

vietnam was bloody because of the terrain
so they resorted to indiscriminate bombing campaigns
wasn't really restricted to vietnam
it was a regional war

the us side had the numerical and technological advantage
the us deployed 2.3 million in total (500K troops at the peak)
south korea deployed 300K in total
khmer cambodia deployed 200K in total
laos deployed 72K in total
australia deployed 50K in total
thailand deployed 32K per year
even taiwan, philippines, new zealand, and spain sent troops and advisors
their puppets in vietnam deployed around 1.5m in total

meanwhile on the axis end
the viets numbered around 1.2m in total
china supported with 320K in total
then the domestic axis opposition in each of cambodia and laos deployed 70K and 42K respectively
the soviets mostly sent advisors totaling around 3K
even north korea did not need to deploy heavily. they only sent a couple hundred

the vietnam war reinforced the eternal axiom that the west cannot fight land wars in asia when their foes have near technological parity
forget about winning
just staying competitive is beyond their capabilities
by the time the war ended, the chinese had lost only 2000 of the 300,000 total deployed
vietnam shares a border with china
the axis viets bore the brunt of the casualties and yet the war was unwinnable

vietnam war is why it's hilarious when 🤡🤡 talk about us-china war in taiwan or anywhere in the pacific
this modern china fighting a land war in asia will beat the us like a cherokee drum

carnage from the vietnam war is the reason why washington is hesitant about venezuela
and would prefer an economic collapse leading to a domestic putsch
tropical warfare is not for the faint of heart
if colombia and brazil joins in, it will end in a certain brutal loss

fun fact: the us dropped 2.1 million tons of bombs during ww2 in europe and asia combined
during the vietnam war, the us dropped 2 million tons of bombs on laos alone
a war it still lost
when the pacific war starts, china will settle that score against us forces in asia

another fun fact: us public opinion originally overwhelmingly supported troop deployment in vietnam
but opinion rapidly shifted when the body bags started returning in their thousands
since then americans have generational ptsd about massive overseas troop deployments

they also terminated three infiltrators that were trying to seize weapons from an armory
this is providing the perfect opportunity to delete the foreign and domestic agents satanyahu and co had been keeping on ice for later activation

you claim you are a protester, you left the roads and squares to attempt to raid an armory
normal people write or print placards, those ones are producing incendiary devices
the axis has learned from the ukraine fiasco

they will keep trying and the security services will be punching their tickets to the after life
after all when the hot war starts, these are the same elements they will seek to use for intelligence gathering and assassinations

⚡Finnish President Stubb:

Russia has been waging its war of aggression against Ukraine for almost four years. Its actions are illegal and immoral.

We are closer to peace than ever during the war, but at the same time we cannot be sure whether Russia is ready for peace.

Peace is most often a compromise, and we must prepare for the fact that all parts of a peace agreement will likely not meet our sense of justice.

However, we will do everything we can to ensure that Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity are preserved.

Ukraine is part of a free and democratic Europe now and in the future.

We will continue to support Ukraine, we will not tire, and together with our allies we will ensure that Russia will never again attack its neighbor.

The war in Vietnam was an asymmetric warfare fought by the US in the rice jungle in Vietnam..The terrains coupled with the guerrilla warfare caused the US to lose the war.. This type of war was also fought by the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.. The guerrilla style by the mujadeen coupled with the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan cause the Soviets to lose the war.. what's with the stereotype??


One clown said the US or the West can not fight land wars in Asia with foes who have technological parity. what a shame!! dude must be suffering from severe form of memory loss. The US fought and defeated the imperial Japanese empire.. whose military was the largest in the region and the japs also had the largest Navy in the world at that time

The US backed west also drove the North Koreans back from the South Korean capital Seoul all the way to the Chinese North Korea borders.. while factoring that the North Koreans dwarfed the South by both men and material..in addition to the support from the Chinese and then power house the Soviet Union.

When the US invaded Iraq, she had the largest standing army in the region.. the Iraqi military was the most powerful nation in the region at that time.

The clown doubled on his foolery by claiming "americans have generational ptsd about massive overseas troop deployments" What a cliche!! Yet the US remains the country with not only the highest number of foreign military facilities in the world but currently has the most deployed overseas personnel around the world.. The US has PTSD since the Vietnam War, yet the same US has intervened in Iraq, Somalia, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Libya, South Korea, Grenada, Panama, etc.😂😂

China is powerful.. what's stopping her from taking Taiwan??..
😂😂😂😂

from year to year two days drills around Taiwan and las las your tent o Israel!!!

iran's NSA, ali larijani

With the statements by Israeli officials and @realDonaldTrump, what has been going on behind the scenes is now clear.

We distinguish between the stance of the protesting shopkeepers and the actions of disruptive actors, and Trump should know that U.S. interference in this internal matter would mean destabilizing the entire region and destroying America’s interests.

The American people should know — Trump started this adventurism. They should be mindful of their soldiers’ safety.

⚡Iran is assembling and producing deadly weapons like UAVs in Venezuelan facilities like El Libertador Air Base — US warns!

United States has accused Iran and Venezuela of engaging in the "aggressive and reckless proliferation of deadly weapons," specifically through the transfer and local production of Iranian-designed combat drones (UAVs).

U.S. officials describe this as an expansion of Iran's military footprint in the Western Hemisphere, posing threats to regional stability and U.S. interests.
Why won't they when they are feeling threatened by you everyday. Some countries wouldn't normally aquire deadly weapons until they feel threatened.

USA has overplayed this model. Their agents are being picked up by the Iranian special police force and pro-regime rallies are springing up everywhere.

Events like this is precisely why I am unable to trust US intentions in Nigeria although for now, it has had a positive impact (Nigeria has stepped up a bit).
