Shout the Bleep up.
Trump said both South Korea and Japan didn't help in the war after sending troops to those countries to help them against kim.

Seems you a haven't read about the North and South Korea war.



Willie2015:
hi No country in the world worry about North Korea nuclear weapon because they are not Jihad fighters.... They don't have any goal of eliminating Israel or US. In Iran.. it is religion and a public duty to eliminate anything called Israel or the US.

Your name suit you. After the USA strike those children school. Iran didn't even cry genocide. Or quote anywhere Iran did.

Sha Pakistan isn't a Islamic country..

Same North Korea kim trump claimed wanted to destroy the world abi.


UrVillageChief:
Well, this is why they say education is never a waste. The North Korea’s nuclear program is highly understandable and justified. It’s meant for deterrence and that’s exactly the purpose it’s serving.
The country poses zero existential threat to humanity because they aren’t fanatics who believe that killing others who don’t believe is a religious obligation. Unlike Iran and Islam, The North Koreans are Buddhists who pose zero threat to humanity. A Buddhist doesn’t care whatever religion you choose to practice. He doesn’t have the religious indoctrination of exterminating or dominating others. That’s the clear difference, my friend. Just try to get yourself educated.

There's no power that is super anywhere. The only difference is nuclear weapons. Why can't the US try this nonsense with North Korea? The Rocket Man President of North Korea has appealed to Trump twice this year to attack his country because he already has nuclear weapons and he's not prepared to give it up and he's building more. Why can't the UN Atomic Agency force themselves into North Korea i want to check something.
Did North Korea terrorise the world like Iran?
How many countries did North Korea threatens when they were building their nukes?
Building nukes for defense purpose is different from building nukes with intentions of using it on clear named target. Such will b resisted.
Re: Two U.S. Service Members Killed In Jordan And Another Is Missing, CENTOM Says by XTruth: 12:03am On Jul 19

This is why we urge you to embrace that western education that your brothers, BH boys, call haram. Again, the North Korean nuclear weapons are meant strictly for deterrence and it’s very obvious from their actions.
You will never see North Korean people chanting “death to America” or “death to South Korea” because their religion (Buddhism ) doesn’t preach violence against anybody, not even the unbelievers but same can’t be said of some other ppl.
So why not?, why are you saying our world isn’t safe in the hands of such a lovely people?
I feel safer with nukes in the hands of Buddhists, Christians, Jews or even Hindus than in the hands of the Iranians who are already chanting deaths to others even now that they don’t have the capability🤣🤣
Again, the North Korean’s religion doesn’t preach extremism!

Instead of stooping to your level by insulting you, I will give you that education you were denied while growing up. The answer to your confusion is that Pakistan is a somewhat sensible Islamic country. Show me where Pakistanis are seen on the streets of Islamabad or Karachi threatening to wipe the Hindus or Jews off the face of the earth, I’m waiting!
Pakistan is a country where moderate Islam is practiced. Pakistan knows for sure that if it ever dares to use its nukes on any country, it would be instantly vaporized in a matter of hours and being a country that isn’t suicidal unlike Iran, we are safe in the hands of nuclear Pakistan! If Pakistan was as hot-headed as Iran, it would have used its nukes on either Afghanistan or India.

Thanks for reminding me that Pakistan is just another Islamic country🤣 And I’m sorry for calling it a moderate and sensible Islamic nation.
That means Pakistan is showing restraint and hesitant to use nukes not because it’s a cool-headed country but because of the consequences of such an action like I pointed out there that it would be vaporized in just a matter of hours🤣
Once again, thanks for the clarification that it’s just another Muslim country. My bad🤣

No oil to fight but the Vietnamese defended every inch of their land and sent the US invaders packing. It is that same oil and other resources that would make the Iranians defend their birthright and fight Americans with all they have. Dulard Trump won't even risk that cause he knows what is at stake.

Iran is very afraid of Israel because Israel has a PhD in elimination of leaders. Iran doesn't want to go near them. They haven't yet recovered from the attack they encounter with Israel. Iran prefer dealing with the US than Israel. Imagine that Israel is closer to them than all the countries they are attaching recently, but they can't throw even a knockout to her.

Re: Two U.S. Service Members Killed In Jordan And Another Is Missing, CENTOM Says by Leepeak(m): 4:18am On Jul 19
Richard Nixon na the 37th President of the United States, and he rule from 1969 to 1974. Him regime get many up and down, but two major things make am popular for history:
The Vietnam War & Wahala for Home: America dey fight long war for Vietnam, and that war dey swallow money like water. This one make America get heavy financial problem (inflation).
Atlantic Council
The Watergate Scandal: This na the big configuration of wiretapping and wire-cheating scheme where Nixon people go spy on the opposition party. When the matter burst, instead of make dem comot am by force (impeachment), Nixon resign by himself for August 1974.

But the biggest thing wey him do for economy na wetin change how the whole world dey use money till today.
How Petrodollar Take Start: The "Nixon Shock"
Before 1971, the world dey run on one system wey dem dey call Bretton Woods System. For this system, the US dollar dey tied to real Gold. Meaning, if you carry $35 go give US government, dem must give you one ounce of real gold. Because of this one, every country build their hope on US dollar as the world reserve currency.
Everything Everywhere

But as Vietnam war dey chop money, America kon print dollars pass the quantity of gold wey dem keep for vault. Other countries like France kon dey suspect America; dem start to pack their dollars return back to America, dey demand their real gold.
Everything Everywhere
The Move
On August 15, 1971, Nixon do wetin dem dey call "The Nixon Shock". He come out for television tell the whole world say: "From today, we no dey exchange dollar for gold again!" Just like that, the dollar stop to be money backed by gold; e kon turn to paper money wey fit float anyhow based on trust.

The Birth of the Petrodollar (Black Gold)
Since gold no dey back dollar again, the value of dollar start to crash. To make matters worse, for 1973, Arab oil countries under OPEC vex for America because America support Israel for one war (Yom Kippur War). The Arab countries kon stop to sell oil to America and their allies (Oil Embargo). Oil price jump up four times higher, long queue show face for fuel stations for US, and inflation tear everywhere.

Nixon and him Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, kon reason say: "If gold no fit back our dollar again, make we use Black Gold (Crude Oil) back am!"

For 1974, America send their Treasury Secretary, William Simon, go Saudi Arabia. Dem sit down sign one secret/heavy agreement:
In Gold We Trust
The Deal: America tell Saudi Arabia say, "We go dey give you heavy military protection, sell best weapons to you, and make sure say your Royal Family (House of Saud) remain for power forever."

The Condition: Saudi Arabia must do two things:
Sell all their crude oil strictly in US Dollars only.
Sandstone assets management

Take the extra profit (excess dollars) buy US Government Bonds (meaning dem go loan the money back to America to get interest).
Everything Everywhere

This arrangement na wetin dem dey call Petrodollar Recycling. By 1975, because Saudi Arabia na the king of OPEC, all other oil-producing countries join the pattern.

The Magic for America: Since every country for world need oil to power their factories and cars, and oil can only be bought with dollars, every single country was forced to hustle, look for, and keep US dollars. This one give America the power to print money anyhow without crashing.

Initial Rejects and Objections
The thing no just slide smoothly like that. Many people and countries standardly talk say the move no pure:

Group/Country Why Dem Object
European Allies (France, Germany, etc.) European countries shock bad when Nixon cancel the gold standard without telling them. Dem complain say America just dey use "Monetary Imperialism" force the rest of the world to pay for America's local debts and war costs.
Some OPEC Members Iraq, Iran, and Libya initially no too swallow the pill easily. Dem feel say America dey use style hijack their resource leverage. Later on in history, leaders like Saddam Hussein (Iraq) and Muammar Gaddafi (Libya) try to shift from selling oil in dollars to Euros or Gold Dinar, but America handle them heavily.
Local Critics inside US Some economists and politicians for America warn say this deal means US must always involve inside Middle East politics, whether e good or bad, just to protect the dollar.
So, na so Nixon take transform US Dollar from money backed by physical gold inside vault, to money backed by the oil wey dey pump from the ground for Middle East.

Now those baby geopolitics children in Nigeria aka genz children read make u learn
Talking nonsense everyday


Here is the reason Saddam Hussein has nuke
