I don't know why people compare tribalism to racism but the difference is clear.
A tribalist mostly have no problem with you unless you want to start having a say in his local politics thereby feeling threatened and may not like you again but with racism, it is a new high bar.
Where I work, whites don't eat where we blacks do. They have there own dinning table you dare not go to eat.
They wash and keep there own spoons, forks and knives because they don't want to keep it in the general place for the fear we will use it or they use ours. It is as if we are walking diseases.
If they have there way, they won't even employ us.
They double check the works we do because they don't have confidence in what we do or believe we do shitty jobs.
They don't believe in our certificates nor our competency despite showing we have what it takes to do the job.
The funniest part is that even the Egyptians among them always feel they are not Africans rather arabs doing attached with rich Arab countries like Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar and UAE.
It is funny seeing Egyptians washing and hiding their own spoons and knives too feeling important..... Inside life.
Filipinos and Indonesians are not left out because they believe they are somehow white or yellow in colour so above blacks.... Lol
Wetin black man eye no go see for this world.
No matter the tribalism between Ayo and Emeka, he won't have any issue using his plates, knives and forks provided he is a clean person.
He won't doubt his competency provided he is good at his work.
Emeka will never recommend to promote Chinedu who is just 6 months in the company over Jide of 5 years experience that proves he is good.
Tunde will never avoid sitting close to Chibuzor in a bus because he is black but whites will rather sit at the back, probably they think we are smelling even though they are the ones that hardly bath and smokes alot, smelling.
You will never get paid higher from an Igbo guy or Hausa doing the same job in a company but a white will be paid higher under the canopy he knows better calling him expatriate.
There is a reason blacks are priced lesser in European football even when the black is a far better striker and scores more goals than his white counterpart.
There is a long list but just need to stop here
I think it depends on ur own experience for me base kn my experience tribalism has done me more harm than good even here in North America

Pyongyang’s soldiers are “true heroes of our time,” Defense Minister Andrey Belousov said.

Last year, NK soldiers learnt the trick how to kill Ukrainian & NATO soldiers and got pretty good at it.

Russia still has a lot to do if it wants to make itself a great superpower. The country needs to make itself dependable as an ally.

As at now, I don't believe Russia is a reliable ally to anyone when the situation really calls for it.

Intelligence failures in Syria, Venezuela, Iran, and now Mali. Russia has been caught unaware in these countries in just two years. Its military and strategic partners are being dismantled one by one.

Damascus was taken unopposed, Maduro was captured in his house, the Supreme leader was killed in a surprise attack and now no one has heard from President Goita of Mali after the attack on his residence yesterday. The head of intelligence and Minister of defense have both been announced killed. All these without a very strong public and direct response from Russia, like you see the US do for its allies.

At this rate, it will soon be the turn of China and North Korea.

⚡Iran’s National Security Committee spokesperson has accused Pakistan of failing to act as a neutral intermediary in talks with the United States, saying Islamabad “always takes Trump’s interests into account” and is therefore “not a suitable mediator,” according to Iranian statements.

He also claimed Pakistan has not openly communicated that the U.S. initially accepted its proposals before reversing its position, and further alleged unfulfilled commitments related to Lebanon and blocked assets.
pakistan did ok on insisting the ceasefire applied to lebanon

but they became more focused on projecting optimism in the talks
than actually holding the us to its commitments

far too often, they were far more intent on getting iran to gloss over us unwillingness to fulfill their commitments
that they almost came across as a bit player on the yank side

The difference between Russia and the US na money.

US get money to support any of her ally militarily. Na money dem dey use deploy troops and equipments oh, no be saliva.

Russia need to carefully select which one worth the help. As their military spending get limit.

Exactly the point why I said it is not yet a dependable ally. If the country you rely on still needs to evaluate if you're worth helping when the situation requires it.

The bigger pictures is, Russia is getting increasingly isolated bit by bit. It's looking coordinated the way her allies are being dismantled bit by bit. Very soon, Russia will find itself alone and vulnerable when her allies are battered and still recovering.

It was supposed to be a sudden offensive and decapitation strike like that of the HTS in Syria that toppled Assad.

He wasn't the only one targeted. The chief of Army staff and head of intelligence were both targeted and have been reported to be severely injured. There are also reports that the residence of the military head of state/President was also targeted.

In all, it was a well coordinated attack. But somehow, the Malian government and the RAC managed to hold out strong despite their intelligence failure.

Time will tell about who planned it. This Israel, US, Iran and Lebanon war has proven to be a great distraction for stuffs elsewhere.
Sincerely it has been quite a distraction truly, I didn't know the weight of the unfolding events in Mali until this moment.

Omo, I have o. So many times.

The most notable one is even funny. It happened in Romania when we went for a short erasmus study exchange. Nothing against Romania as those were amongst the best months of my life.

Very cold winter, was in a situationship with a Romanian chick then. One of our fellow erasmus student and housemate from Turkey was dying of Konji in very cold winter cos he came with his muslim religious Turkish fiancee, a no-sex before marriage situation.

After persuasion from the guy, we got a Romanian hookup website from my Romanian babe, the discrimination that followed deserves a book of its own. Hookers and prostitutes saying they don't sleep with black people, Arabs, Indians, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, etc without even seeing how you look was something I never expected to see in my life. Do you know how racist you have to be as a needy prostitute to refuse money from people because of skin colour?

The first girl he slept with was very explicit that she doesn't sleep with black people. I had to tell her I was contacting her for a Turkish friend before she accepted.

Funny enough, there was no discrimination in relationship. Got lots of date offers. Slept with three women there, one of which was a relationship, all Romanian/Hungarian. Probably maybe because in relationship/casuals, you only match will people who want you.

When someone discusses about enemies of Nigeria, you should be concerned if your first thought is IPOB. It shows the truth.

During EndSars, during the Nigerian soldiers/Mali debacle, the failed coup in Nigeria, Benin Coup attempt, Ecowas/AES over Niger coup, they have always shown where they stand.

Any small thing, APC supporter. I wonder where I have ever supported APC. The only topic and posts I have concerning Nigerian internal political situation has been to criticise Tinubu over his disastrous policies. As much as quite a lot of Americans don't like Trump or British people don't like Starmer, I don't see them calling for a coup or for a foreign nation to successfully invade the US/UK. Only unpatriotic elements in Nigeria always wish the country harm.

Shakau is a terrorist, Turji is a terrorist. Gentle the so-called freedom fighter is killing the people he is supposed to fight for. The dismembered military couple of private Gloria Mathew and Linus Audu comes to mind.

We will criticise the Nigerian government for negotiating or even granting pardon to terrorists, we will criticise them for making Fulani terrorist overrun the country but we will not advocate for the country to lose to terrorists and their sponsors to prove a point.

the genesis of this is syria 2019

russia, assad, iran, hez joined forces to retake idlib from hts and turkey

but putin was doing that his usual "partner" rubbish
and agreed to multiple ceasefires

ultimately, and against the advise of the syrians, iranians, and lebanese
he agreed to a permanent ceasefire with erdogan

iran had brought in shia militias from lebanon, afghanistan, and pakistan
alongside irgc forces for this offensive
and putin sidestepped all of that to secure a deal that in hindsight paved the way for assad's collapse, the wars against iran, and the capture of maduro

he also secured a deal with the genocidal ghouls that'd allow them target whomever they want in syria

not to mention that he had a deal with the kurds who controlled the eastern oil fields




syria was the inaugural project of the modern axis

putin was put in charge
and he flubbed it with his side deals

you see the way ukrainians are in the sahel assisting the terrorists and rebels
that's exactly what syria was supposed to be for the axis

iran sought to transform syria into a hub for shia military power
a place to aggregate, train, and build up several shia paramilitaries from lebanon, iraq, pakistan, afghanistan, yemen
as well as integrate shia fighters from minority populations across west and central asia

putin's deal with the genocidal ghouls f*cked that up
because the genocidal ghouls could target whomever the want

that horrible deal where he allowed allies to be targeted
pretty much eliminated the participation of the latin american axis allies at the time in cuba, venezuela, nicaragua, and bolivia
north korea also stepped back and chinese intelligence cut back as well




that golden opportunity for axis integration was lost

let me paint a picture of what the optimists in the axis were planning then

success in syria would have cemented axis control of lebanon, syria, iraq, iran
creating a land bridge connecting the mediterranean, the persian gulf, and the caspian
the axis were then going to use the sco to cement control of all of central asia to completely protect china's north western flank from the central asian wahabbist scourge that have currently found refuge in jolani's syria

that entire land stretch from lebanon to china would have been the mothership of axis operations
where there'd be systematic integration of state and non-state axis actors under a unified command with very clear objectives
that can then be rapidly deployed as needed to new theaters or other areas of responsibilities

whether it is sudan, the sahel, latin america, ukraine

a tree does not make a forest

there should not just be a couple hundreds or thousands of operatives from a russian pmc in mali, burkina faso...
there should be auxillary forces from west asian militias, latin america, north korea, and even chinese pmcs
and actual deployment of state forces

but putin f*cked it all up and everyone is now focused on their own sh*t

According to information received by Iran International, Aida Barasa, 20 years old and a psychology student, was killed on January 9th by three direct shots to her neck and throat.

The officers abducted Aida's body, and her family was able to identify her body in Kahrizak after two weeks.

In addition to the bullet wounds, there were several stitches on Aida's abdomen. The family was forced to pay a heavy fee to receive the body and was pressured not to declare the cause of death as being killed in the protests.

The war is never about nuclear weapon. With or without the nuclear weapon, the war would have happened anyway.
The war didn't just start today, it is a planned one that is more than 10 years.
The Iran's war is a part of the broader scale war to contain the Big one by Trump which is China.

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, to cripple the U.S. Pacific Fleet, aiming to prevent American interference with Japanese expansion into Southeast Asia because Japan was facing a severe oil embargos from the U.S due to their invasion of China.
Japan sought to seize oil-rich territories and hoped to force a negotiated peace, believing the U.S. would not endure a long, costly war.
That attack lead to US using atomic bomb on Japan that causes their collapse.

The same script is been used on China and China can see the handwriting on the wall.
Syria is gone, Venezuela gone. Russia oil depots and infrastructures are been regularly attacked to reduce quantity going to china while collapsing iran so as to instal a stooge and they can always choke china with the oil when they want.
It is never about nukes, it is a grand plan of containing China

Another car they are playing with is the threat of using indonesia to start tolling strait of malaca if iran does not back down with tolling strait of hormuz.
That was not indonesia talking, it was the US.
The strait of hormuz handles 20% of world's oil but the most important strait in the woirld is malaca - it handles thousands of ships importing all china goods to the world, 70% of china oil comes from there, singapore shipping and so m,any more.
SO iran tolls hormuz, indonesia tolls malaca.
Whatever free payment china gets in hormuz, they get double charged at malaca - first for bringing in the oil that sailed free from hormuz and they get charged for finished goods the oil processed in china.

Like Japan, if the US can choke the energy demand China, it will bring her economy to kneels.
China needs millions of energy on monthly basis to keep her factories running and without it, her whole economy collapses which is exactly what the US is doing.
The US has aircraft carriers stationed at Singapore to close it off from China within 24 hours in strai of Malaca thereby choking her imports and exports.
China planned to counter this by running a pipeline to russia for part of her energy independence from western embargoes and sanctions via Siberia 1 and coming Siberia 2.
Built a 2b dollars 10,500km railway cutting 5 countries to Iran to bypass the sea choke points.
China uses $2b to build 10,500km railway to Iran within 5 years while US uses $2b daily for over a month to bomb Iran in this latest war.
2 different countries with 2 different ideologies.
One brings infrastructure, good life, improvement in standard of living, the other brings chaos, hunger, poverty, death, suffering, hardship etc
The third plan is the arctic route china and russia and trying to create using ice crackers. It takes 45 days for ship to transit suez canal to middle east, the arctic will take 30 days.
To choke china again, US is demanding the europeans to let-go Greenland for them so thtat they can station their carriers them and wait for china/russia to choke them again

The Iran's war is a part of the broader scale war to contain the Big one by Trump which is China.

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, to cripple the U.S. Pacific Fleet, aiming to prevent American interference with Japanese expansion into Southeast Asia because Japan was facing a severe oil embargos from the U.S due to their invasion of China.
Japan sought to seize oil-rich territories and hoped to force a negotiated peace, believing the U.S. would not endure a long, costly war.
That attack lead to US using atomic bomb on Japan that causes their collapse.

The same script is been used on China and China can see the handwriting on the wall.
Syria is gone, Venezuela gone. Russia oil depots and infrastructures are been regularly attacked to reduce quantity going to china while collapsing iran so as to instal a stooge and they can always choke china with the oil when they want.
It is never about nukes, it is a grand plan of containing China
same way they needed assad to fall before getting this war

nukes would have seriously complicated their war with iran

for starters, they would not be able to threaten to wipe out persian civilization

if iran had nukes, the fatality count would have been much lower

and the us will sign a vietnam-type deal and withdraw forces
after the initial shellacking
as opposed to bringing in more forces




so while i agree this war ties into the overarching goal of containing china

they would have had to figure out another way

same way if nk did not have nukes right now, they'll be actively trying to start a war there to bog down china

but since nk has nukes, they've had to cancel those plans
