Watcharena:
why are the terrorist not attacking ,Russia,china ?

Why is the attack always against US?

Maybe because US left their continent to go and impose their will over the weaker nations maybe because of other reasons we may not know

What baffles me is that even though Islam is not tolerated just like any other religion in China, there has never been an attack on them. Something is wrong with the United States.

My own definition of punctuality is having a meeting or appointment with someone. If an American tells you we will meet by 10:00am, I swear the person will not get to the meeting ground 10:01am even if he/she will drive for 2 hours to the venue.

I have never seen an American that will give you an appointment and appear late, it can never happen. If the person would make it, he would have sent you message ahead of time for you guys reschedule.

That one, I believe you cause I have met quite a lot of Americans and they are punctual.

I'm always at my happiest when in new places learning about new people, their history, cultur, food, language and practices.

My happiest moments this year na the one week I do holiday for Malaysia.

I was happy when I was in Montenegro granted I didn't go out much due to finances. This time will be different.

I just dnt get it, u just change the word of God whenever u like, is it not in the bible that God destroyed a whole town (sodom & gomorrah) because they practice gayism.

This is a whole reason to make you understand that Christianity is a sham. If there's a God, he is definitely not one revered by Christians.

BREAKING:

โšก US Navy does not have enough warships to start Operation Prosperity Guardian against the Houthis

This is according to the maritime journalist John Konrad. He said that the US has built 24 littoral combat ships to be used for combat in coastal areas, but the US has refused to deploy them.

The US is confused and doesn't know how to stop the Houthis. France has already withdrawn from the group that was supposed to protect Israeli ships from the Houthis.

The Houthis continue to maintain a blockade. If the US dares to attack the Houthis, they can retaliate immediately because they have torpedoes, drones, missiles.

Suddenly the war will flare up and the Red Sea will be completely closed to all ships. It will be a huge blow to the economy in Europe.

Beautiful! Yet some people are underestimating Iran. The one country that seized US ship. It's only USA that knows the country they are up against, their fan clubs here in Nigeria still think USA is still in power. 12yrs ago, Iran would have been attacked, Yemen would have been bombed to the grounds and Israel would have sold script of the "promise land".

No one has the monopoly of madness!

โšกThe United States abandoned plans to attack the Houthis after threats of all-out war from the 2 million-strong Yemeni Ansarullah group.

According to the Associated Press (AP), warships of the US-led alliance will be ready to provide air defense cover to as many ships as possible at any given time.

Essentially, they will fire $2 million worth of missiles to intercept a $2,000 Yemeni drone.

Underestimate Iran at your peril. I love that country. These are countries I suppose come through... I just sheepishly choose Nigeria (sarcasm).

โšกBidenโ€™s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan:

Putin would love to see the end war soon. Theyโ€™re bleeding men, money. They are driving growth, but that growth is entirely the production of more armaments to send to Ukraine to gain no material territory on the battlefield.

The pressures of occupation of a foreign land that does not want you there are real, and they only grow overtime.

America father of all propagandist. Putin only ish the war would end to avoid more blood flow, but this people that seems to know everything have added a line Putin isn't thinking of. America thinks the rest of the world are like Europe and her allies that are fools and would swallow everything she says hook line and sinker.

@Rejouir 4 months albeit little isn't where the damage is. The actual damage is they will never work in care, or anything that has to do with vulnerable children, young adult and adults. They will be stock with warehouse and they will be paid below minimum wage and by cash since they have been imprisoned and no employer will want to have anything to do with them. Given their race, it's hell from here. UK authority wasn't lenient with them, they actually tossed them out to be dealt with by the dogs!

The PIK reactor is a major asset to the Russian nuclear research community and is expected to play a significant role in the development of new technologies for many years to come.

The man is probably a simpleman, the type peculiarly known as simps



No, his cheating wife doesn't make him a simp, the way he handled the whole saga was what gave him out. With the way he was talking in that video, there was no iota of authority in his voice. Such a man doesn't deserve to be called head of a family. See how his cheating wife was even chiding and disrespecting him as if she did nothing wrong. And the lover boy was there too, telling our dear simp to stop embarrassing him. OMG!

So he becomes macho when either does things that will result in violence which could lead to anyone of them getting locked up for loss of life?

Nah, he handled it well. All he's gat to do is, seek divorce.
