WriterrNg:the russia-india special relationship is admirable iran that is close proximity to india and could have played better geopolitics was doing religious rubbish with the kashmir issue it did that because of the iran-pakistan gas pipeline iran signed that deal in 2011 and completed its portion in 2014 while pakistan has so far refused to start construction on its part under pressure from the us and formerly by the gulf arabs more than a decade later if iran had been pragmatic they could have completed an undersea oil/gas pipeline from iran to india in that time it'll be very cheap for india and any excess will be resold on the global market thus allowing iran to increase its output and diversify its customer base thankfully they have made repairs to the relationship that has enabled the activation of the INSTC iran is now a central node for trade between india and russia/central asia that bypasses the hegemony and china india controls the chabahar port in iran -Lord |

OkpaNsukkaisBae:The problem is when people create time to educate you, you and your fellows dance around accusing a person as using technicality. Apartheid was a legitimate system of government until 1990 or 1994 ( can't remember exactly which of the two years). Nelson Mandela and his political party (ANC) were declared terrorists because their struggle was "armed". You don't carry arms against a legitimate government and not get declared a terrorist. The Mandela struggle was in the 1980s when apartheid was still regarded as a legitimate government. Same thing with Nmamdi Kanu, carrying arms against a legitimate government. Same thing with Boko Haram. But Herdsmen are not declared terrorists simply for reason that they are not carrying arms strictly against the government. |

WriteerNg: One Z0mb1e say trading with US na the most important thing for this life. Their beloved UK don dump them go sign trade deal with China. EU don dump them sign mother of all deals with India. Canada don leave them go sign deal of the century with China. Mexico will be next. I can bet it'll happen this year. Who come remain for US corner? Aber-baijan? Paraguay? Bahrain? Panama? Bhutan? 😂 🤣 😠🤣 😂 🤣 😠🤣 😂 So after the EU sign trade deal with India and UK/Canada sign with China.... Does that make the EU dependent on India? And UK/Canada dependent on China? Question for the Z0mb1es. Because it looks like China and India are their only lifelines. Them don see say nothing come out from their trading with US all this while. |

WriterrNg:Considering that Ukraine's new MoD, the tech guy just spoke about killing 50k Russians monthly. No one told him the response won't be proportional and the ratio of KIA is very uneven on both side. UA has ramped up bussification this year with a renewed attempt to fill out his dwindling ranks. There's a massive forced mobilization since beginning of this year, if previously they use to be concerned about the blowback and negative PR im their society now they've thrown caution to the wind. Everyone is saying that perhaps UA will launch an offensive this year but looking at the stat of exchanged dead it is obvious that UA has lost the ability to launch any major offensive apart from localized counter-attacks in specific directions of the front. They have lost both the strategic and operational initiatives and could only carry out a robust defense (although not mobile yet given to their stubbornness to yield ground for time) with aim of being able to achieve a mobile defence doctrine this year with their new army reforms. UA is only holding out to find a favorable term in the negotiations but that seem very unlikely. The only hope UA has is if Zelensky travels to Moscow and directly appeal to Putin's conscience then maybe Ukraine can have a deal that closely resembles the one of Istanbul 4 years back. NB: exchanged dead is a true reflection of casualty rate but it gives an insight. But also considering RU is the one advancing and so many times we've heard claims of failed attack or human waves attacks by RU on UA position, the bodies of RU dead is considerably lower. |

WriteerNg:I thought they said he is isolated. Well, in other news, their seem to be alot of geopolitical realignment of recent coupled with recent years geopolitical events. Decades are happening in a few weeks now right before our eyes. If the small history we read and understood serves any purpose then one can safely predict that a global power is about to tumble off the perch or share that elevated platform with other serious competitors. I seriously hope it will not lead to a war on a global scale. No superpower has gone down easily or shared position without serious military confrontation |

⚡Putin welcomed UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at the Kremlin’s St. George Hall, as talks between the two leaders got underway. According to TASS, Ramzan Kadyrov joined the Russian delegation for the negotiations. Also present was Igor Kostyukov, head of Russia’s GRU military intelligence. Kostyukov attended Putin’s talks with Jolani the day before and currently leads Russia’s negotiating team in trilateral consultations involving Russia, Ukraine, and the United States.

LordAdam16:Iran has missed all opportunities to exert itself on the global stage. Perhaps they need a change of leadership or leadership style. You can't be a US enemy and still be concerned about trivialities. Iran needs serous reform. It has serous allies. It is well placed geographical. It also has serous enemies. It needs serous minded people from bottom to top. First it needs to stave off this impending attack that may or may not happen. After that it needs to get to serous work. It is common knowledge that Iran is the one capable of challenging US hegemony in the region. |

Svlla: They're already sharing power with Russia and China. They just haven't realized it yet. Or maybe they have. Because the newly published White House foreign policy document clearly stated that there are now 3 super powers in the world today. Russia, China and U.S. Go and read it. |

Scorpio99:This is why I don't engage you or Disobedience on issues pertaining to the Resistance. First thing first, Apartheid System was never recognized as a Legitimate System of Government, not in South Africa or anywhere else. Don't know where you pulling that dates from. Do you even know the definition of the word Legitimacy? Like wtf? Where will Apartheid System drive it ACCEPTANCE from?na from the same black majority South African population it discriminate against, kill, suppress and attack? Shey na law you study abi na linguistic? As of 1966,UN General Assembly already declared Apartheid system as a crime against humanity. Nigeria lobbied for arms embargo against Apartheid South Africa in the UN. We boycotted sporting events in solidarity with South Africa. In Resolution 556, in 1984, the Security Council endorsed the UN General Assembly Resolution that Apartheid System is a crime against humanity. So which year was Apartheid system recognized as legitimate system of government?? Comparing Kanu to Mandela is like comparing FC Barcelona to Lobi Stars. Kanu is a secessionist, Mandela and his party wasn't seeking for a balkanization of South Africa Rather they sought for equal treatment of all citizens irrespective of color, race, religion or tribe. |

OkpaNsukkaisBae:Oh mother of god!!!! You see, I get tired at the level of d@ftn€$$ on this thread. Let me try to address your points. 1. Apartheid System was never recognized as a Legitimate System of Government - You don't even know that apartheid emerged as a formalization of pre-existing colonial segregationist policies into law. Are you telling me something that was formalized into law was not legitimate? Warn yourself oo, cos you dey make me angry with this your very d@ft submission. 2. Where will Apartheid System drive it ACCEPTANCE from? na from the same black majority South African population it discriminate against, kill, suppress and attack? - Shey I still need to be telling you that this so called black majority you are screaming didn't have power. Wasn't it the white minority that was in control of the government? Maybe you should read "Sizwe Bansi is Dead" by Athol Fugard to have a grasp of how things were like at that time. Mind you, Athol Fugard was a white man. Apartheid was legitimate by virtue of being formalized into law not by virtue of its acceptance by the people. You can compare it to the same thing that happens when the military take over the government in Nigeria. Are you telling me that decrees passed by the military government are not legitimate? Then NYSC act, Land Use Act and the bulk of our laws today would have been illegitimate. Get some proper education for devil's sake.!!! 3. As of 1966,UN General Assembly already declared Apartheid system as a crime against humanity. - It was in 1962, not 1966 that a resolution was passed condemning aparthied. It led to decades of sanctions. It was in 1973 that it was declared a crime against humanity. Even the US you are clamouring on passed a f*kin anti - apartheid act in 1985. Yes, I deliberately left those part out cos I knew you would use it. The UN declared it so in the years I posted but Apartheid officially and formally became non existent between 1990 or 1994 when a referendum was passed by even the whites themselves to bring an end to apartheid. While the issue of bringing apartheid to an end started in 1962, it wasn't formally completed until 1990. Do I need to define formally and officially again for devil's sake?😡😡 |

[quote author=WriterrNg post=138294497]⚡Peter Schiff, who gained fame for accurately predicting the 2008 financial crisis: The world is now pulling the rug out from under the US. The dollar is going to collapse. The dollar is going to be replaced by gold. Central banks are buying gold… they’re getting rid of dollars. We are headed for an economic crisis again that will make the 2008 financial crisis look like a Sunday school picnic. This one is not a global financial crisis — it’s an American financial crisis. The rest of the world is actually going to benefit. The bubble is in the dollar. The bubble is in the US economy. This is why I said if gold prices keep going up we may have a currency crisis. It’s demand and supply, if countries, central banks and investors keep selling dollars to buy gold, we will have a currency crisis. The USA currently has a debt bubble, housing bubble and maybe a currency bubble ( if gold goes way up), these bubbles can be managed. But a drastic increase in oil prices or reckless borrowing due to war with Iran can prick one of the bubbles leading to a massive recession. If the shooting starts, Iran should destroy the oil and gas infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. This will bring an economic win. When fuel and gas prices go up in USA, increasing inflation, taco will do the usual. Trump says a lot of stupid things but he’s still a business man, he should know this is a bad idea. |

Omoh, I can't imagine a full grown adult is telling me something that was formalized into law is illegitimate. Okpansukkaisbae, you would also tell me direct and indirect rule as practiced by the colonial government in Nigeria was illegitimate? You would tell me our criminal laws are illegitimate just because they were enacted in the 1900s. Abeg, get a secondary school government t textbook and look for the topic: "Ways of Acquiring Legitimacy" because to you Legitimacy is only achieved via the people accepting you.🤦🤦. Such a shame!!!!ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ |

Mikasaobi:a. jassm is air-launched use a hypersonic-drone package to deactivate the aircraft carrier and you eliminate this concern as the destroyers/subs can't launch jassms there might be another amphib in the persian gulf proper (part of the 5th fleet) that can launch naval jets but that is soft work for iran's anti-ship munitions b. they already used these in yemen they still lost naval jets the whole point of iran adopting an extreme war posture is that they believe they made a mistake creating a paradigm with the us where the us believes it can strike iran at will and iran will only perform choreographed responses that has changed they should bring their b-2s and their tomahawks and their penetrators and their jassms and their f-35s but iran will not give them advance notice for their retribution that's the new equation that's the only reason why they haven't launched an attack yet they have all the strike packages they need already but persia has in a clear, unambiguous message told them, you can strike us, fine but we will unleash hell on you -Lord |
