may God not allow strangers storm your home take out the head (Bread Winner) of your family and still all you have just to fight an enemy they seem more powerful than you.


But if that thing happen you will understand your statement better Shalom my brother.
This is Strictly an analysis based post and not to justify or not to justify anything.....I am well aware of the reality of this world where might is right and winners determine what justice is to some extent and I am not in denial of that reality despite the fact that no body would want to find themselves in the position of being weak and vulnerable.

What a lame response. I don't blame people like you, you are probably in one corner in Nigeria writing gibberish about a country you don't live. The Venezuela oil money that lying orange man is using to give tax credits to his fellow billionaires. Regardless when he attacked Venezuela it was about Maduro maltreating his people and bringing drugs into the US but we all knew it was about oil yet people like you don't see anything wrong with that.
Oga I made an analysis.....I am not here to justify anything so if that was the reason you replied me then try someone else okay.

Any evidence beyond Iranian report, if there is, tell Iran to turn on the internet, so we can find out.😊

Very intelligent and strategic guy. He already has a plan behind every move he makes, unlike the drug cartel leader we have that depends on borrowing from left, right and center.
You were inviting Trump to Nigeria to come and do to Nigeria what he did to Venezuela. Are the Venezuelans better of or worse of now?

All of you supporting the US stealing Venezuelan assets worth at least $100B are nothing but terrorist sympathizers!

Seems like securing Venezuela first was a strategic move because even before US attacked the Maduro led Venezuela government they already had tensions with Iran and a lot of people would've wondered why they went ahead to attack Venezuela first before Iran and here is the reason and it does look like a classic chess move.

I've been telling some monikers here that US has the luxury to play a long game with Iran or apply more brutality in their attack but they keep on arguing needlessly.....they can keep the blockade and just feel the impact a little while the impact of Iran losing revenues from oil sales daily will be immense on them.

The US were well aware that conflict with Iran can affect oil prices and availability hence they secured somewhere they could get a good amount of oil.... somewhere that would've naturally not sell to US if they had shortages because their allies were mostly in the east.....That move also reduced the global impact of oil shortages with Venezuela oil now in the market to cushion the effects of Shortage from the middle east.

Applying sound strategy is part of warfare..... we've even seen countless times where strategy won over numbers(huge armies) and sheer power(attack power).

See how you're crying over an exaggeration
Your Tinubu claimed he met revenue target in August but still went to borrow
You still bow down and worship him
Ignorant! Ignorant!!
My budgeted expenditure is 10 billion.
My projection is 6 billion revenue.
Deficit budget of 4 billion.

Question ❓
If I meet my projected revenue of 6 billion, will that stop me from borrowing 4 billion to meet my budgeted expenditure of 10 billion??

You don't have the historical perspective. American companies spent enormous amounts of resources and money exploring and setting up Venezuela oil industry, then Hugo Chavez kicked them out, in effect stealing their oil. US is only trying to remedy that
Also, by Monroe doctrine (see below) US considers itself responsible for (and sort of owner of) everything in the Americas.

The right analogy would be; why not hand over your wife and children to your neighbor who has demonstrated better management skills of taking care of his own than you. The answer is that there are things that define your essence as an individual and if you lose control of those your very existence is useless.

QuinQ:
Why is it that it is only when it comes to countries that this mentality arises? In business, you hand the company to people who have demonstrated good management skills and it always works out better. We have more natural resources per capita than America, so why should they be doing ao much better than us? That's the kind of question u ask in business

No! You don't have the historical perspective!
I will give you an assignment. Go and find out WHY Venezuela kicked them out!

It is the same reason Iran kicked out US and British oil companies! They try to force slavish agreements on countries. When those countries try to renegotiate, they refuse. Leaving the country now other path than nationalizing their resources.
Resources in each country should be for the benefits of the citizens first! Not thieves and colonialists!
Nigeria also nationalized foreign oil companies. Is that enough reason for those countries to steal our oil?

Your wife and children are himan beings. Oil is business. Dangote brought in India to run his refinery. US itself sells ANYTHING to the highest bidder regardless of whether u r American, except it affects national security. If you have the money you can buy anything in US (now including US citizenship).
Which more defines Nigeria, oil or our national team?

Re: Trump Says Venezuela’s Oil Paid For Cost Of Iran War ’25 Times Over’ by Razzness(m): 3:44pm On May 23
The difference is that when Dangote brought in India to run his refinery, they don't take the proceeds or the oil back to India. Read the headline; Trump is boasting they used Venezuela's oil to pay for the Iran war 25 times over. If you cannot understand why that is wrong for a country like Venezuela to be in such a position, i dont know what else to say to you.

How you are supporting this US wickedness is amazing seriously.
Is Venezuela not a sovereign country? How can Trump be doing all these atrocities and still have supporters is something beyond what responsible person can imagine. Why are they saying Iran will be attacking countries if they have nuclear? Are they not doing same already?

Anyway time will tell.

Oil that Hugo Chavez stole from US. That is what Trump is hiding. Chavez kicked out US companies and stole their oil

What is this one saying abeg. Why do you guys so myopic and lack any iota of conscience. Somebody is telling you that he is stealing sovereign nation commonwealth to fund another illegal war somewhere and you're here analysing the strategy as if it is something good.

This world is full of shitty people bereft of anything morally upright. This is really pathetic. What would you expect from a felon and his gullible ilk.

If I meet my projected revenue of 6 billion, will that stop me from borrowing 4 billion to meet my budgeted expenditure of 10 billion??
Be quiet!!

Did the minister of finance not later come out to debunk the lie
Why then did the budget perform at a measly 30%
