Mikasaobi:
Wahala, to communicate with you guys no easy.

You said migration Changed their DNA makeup, I asked What do you mean by that? And you’re answering by telling me what a genetic makeup is. You’re not making the point you think you’re making, research more with Ai.

As for the genuine question, if you learn how Ai works, you’ll see it can be tainted.
DNA make-up and genetic makeup can be used interchangeably when it comes to genealogy.

All this is straight from my head .


And to your question if you're asking me how migration can change a certain population's DNA make-up then forgive me I overestimated your intelligence I assumed you'd know this.

I won't explain I'll give example the Egyptians in Egypt today are not fully identical genetically with the Egyptians of let's say the bronze age even though they are a direct descendents of ancient Egyptians due to many factors but mainly due to Arab incursion ancient Egyptians are not Arabs but modern ones are but both are Egyptian Arabs are not from north Africa they migrated from Arabia.


Same as the Jews they are not even as far off from Jews in the time of Jesus genetically.

A modern day Jew will be much more identical to Jesus than let's say a modern Egyptian to Cleopatra VII ( I think she had Greek in her)

Hope you understand?

Tainted by who the West. Just because a take from an AI doesn't fit your world view it doesn't mean it is tainted. AI are not infallible yes but then instead of calling it western biased even though it is Chinese you could have bring evidence that proves it wrong. You did not do that. You can't do that because whatever I said and posted is nothing but facts.


Maybe if you were not so blinded by propaganda you'd know that.

They didn't came out to block his way, it is a common knowledge that anytime these guys do their procession they block the highway, on that very day they where already there when he arrived because he was scheduled to stop by to see the emir of zazzau, an altercation occurred and people was massacred.

Evidence point to people who were shot try to escape the scene, like hunting them as they run. Even those hiding inside house where not spared including women and children.

The only reason it didn't cause a national disaster is because it didn't happen to sunni Muslims or Christians.

Extrajudicial killing is what transformed bokoharam into what it is today, Mohammed Yusuf was caught and instead of allowing to face the law, he was murdered and his number 2 took over today we couldn't get ourselves out of that mess.
what you said about Shiite and Coas was not true. The COAS was actually on his way to the depot for army Pop and the Shiites blocked him. He left his car and met them to plead with them to let him pass, but they didn't listen, that was the issue, but the genesis of the issue was that the Shiites were doing too much.

I was in Zaria then and everyone was tired of how they were making life difficult for people. They were a time they also blocked Elrufai, and he had to leave his car to treck to his destination.

Most people then use to say that the Shiites deserved what befell them because they were trying to "create a government inside government" Elzakzaky then had a convoy. He moved like a governor.

I think the goes way back to the time of death of Mohammed.

How leadership should be picked was what started the conflict but it somehow deviate into doctrine.
I am not really asking about sunni-shiites conflict. I'm talking about the whole middle east conflict, including the part played by Israel and us

LordAdam16:
religion (sectarianism) plays a role
but at the heart of it, it is all about power struggles
iran wants to be the top dog in the region
the sunni gulf monarchies want to be the top dog in the region

hence the conflict
the religious undertones is secondary

to put this in perspective
the sunni gulf monarchies were anti gadaffi and anti-saddam, both of whom are sunnis
they've essentially degraded all their rivals in the region
gadaffi, mubarak, saddam, assad
iran is the last piece to fall

furthermore, if the islamic government had fallen
and pahlavi or someone else became the leader
he'd be shiite but the gulf will treat him like they do the terrorist in syria




that is the crux of it
but when you descend to the individual level, most sunni muslims who do not support iran
do so on the basis of sectarianism




on the numbers and geographic distribution thing
if there was an economic angle to it
the shiites would enter alliances with other minorities, including northern christians and sufist sunnis

shiites in lebanon and iraq ally with christians

-Lord
Thank you. So how does Israel-US comes into the equation? what is the us interest in the conflict.

According to Estonia, 30-40 Russian fleet tankers now idle in Estonia's EEZ. Numbers tripled in one week.
Russian navy were close by. Estonian Navy said: "The risk of military escalation is just too high."

Estonia chose restraint. Not confrontation. The same story as the UK.
The same story as the Channel. The West will not enforce its own sanctions. Because enforcement means risking war. And the West is not willing.

Russia is testing. Estonia is blinking. The same EU called those ships “shadow ships”. The West watches. The sanctions are paper. The tankers are steel. Steel wins.

Perhaps you didn't read what I wrote completely.

1. He was going for a pop but the actual incident happened on that route, he was scheduled to meet the emir that was a detour that lead to the route where the encounter happened. You making it sound like they were aware of his coming so they came out to blocked him.

2. The blocking of the road is something they do regularly, they didn't just come out because of him. The constant blocking of the road anytime they are doing their thing is bad and need urgent attention but slaughtering hundreds because of that is excessive and if you don't find anything wrong, then I guess you are no different from the bh we have today.

They have a leader who the government can approach to provide a working solution but that never happened.

3. Yes people were happy of what happened not only because of the blocking of the road but because of the sunni and Shia rivalry. Northern Nigeria is predominantly shia and Shia sees them as not as true Muslims, there have been case where they were attacked buy sunni Muslims during a peaceful protest.

4. If you read my earlier post you will were I mentioned that El Zakzaky has been on the security watchlist, not mere watch list it was detailed.

He doesn't just have large following, he had a structure.

The Nia tracked several individuals including those that went for terrorist training abroad, if you follow the news you would come across some people pointing finger at obj for not acting on time.

Now my point is, we where lucky not to have second bh issue on our hand. If the reaction of the army is limited to the scene of the incident then it will be understandable but we all know that is not what happened.

The highest level of negotiation between US and Iran since 1979 is taking place this week in Pakistan. Israel is not on the negotiation table, their journalist are not even allowed into Pakistan talk more of going anywhere close to the venue

But they will still be remotely controlling what America say or do in negotiating table. That's how power they have enslaved America

The ceasefire notwithstanding, Netblocks shows that internet access remains almost entirely blocked in Iran.

What is the regime trying to hide? Or to prevent?

Point of correction, Northern Nigeria is not predominantly Shia. The Shia population is largely in Zaria.

In an ideal/organised society, do you take it upon yourself to hold a large procession without traffic advisory and state informed? You carefully evaded the events that took place when Brutai convoy got there. Knowing we barely have officers who are gentlemen, they could have made a space for the convoy to pass instead of challenging them carelessly like they did.

I condemn the brutal reprisal especially after that confrontation but everyone knows our officers are not gentlemen and are hardly brought to book as done in a state with strong institutions.

On BH, it could have been nipped in the bud if not for 3 things:
1. Yaradua, a president from the north sudden demise.
2. Funding from Al qeada and Libya issues.
4. The north playing a political game with the event.

Thank you. So how does Israel-US comes into the equation? what is the us interest in the conflict.
for the us
same thing mostly

iran is the only significant hold out in the region
and if they go, iraq, yemen, lebanon fall entirely within their influence as well (as opposed to the partial influence today)
iran is also a major supplier of energy to china
so if they go, china only has russia as a major allied oil producer
which they can use to strangulate china or obtain bitter concessions

pissrael wants greater pissrael and iran is standing in the way
after iran then turkey
add that to us suzerainty over the entire region
and they'd have free rein to do whatever they want
they'll annex all of palestine and the region will only grumble
they'll strike anyone including gulf and nothing will happen
already, as of today, the uae, bahrain, kuwait, morocco, and jordan do not give a sh*t if all of palestine ceases to exist
so it's more of a kick iran to the curb and even those who give a sh*t would not be able to do a damn thing about it
it'll just become the new reality




in fairness, the us and isn'treal had a good thing going for them with the slow degradation of iran
but they are led by two psychopathic m****ns who let their personal political troubles get in the way of their national interests
isn'treal and the us could afford to wait for more years for iran to get progressively weaker economically and politically
but beavis and butt-head had a time crunch to go for personal glory
(pedolf before the world cup/mid terms season, satanyahu before the elections)

of course, one could make the argument that if iran had stepped up drone/missile production
which they've been able to produce faster than the us can produce interceptors and precision munitions
then in 3-5 years, the numbers simply wouldn't fundamentally be in the hegemony's favor

but iran were somewhat lax before the direct attacks and
did learn a lot from the successive attacks
so that danger existed because they stirred sh*t up at the wrong time and kept doubling down
