Foreign Affairs / Re: IDF Tank Accidentally Hits Egyptian Military Post Near Border by ReubenE(m): 9:03pm On Oct 22, 2023
REALretep:
I think what you are missing is that there're no diplomatic relations between Israel and Egypt

MODIFIED:
There are diplomatic relations between both countries but it's a shaky one
you corrected yourself but still made another one.

Israel does not have a shaky diplomatic relations with Egypt, it is actually a solid one. Egypt and Jordan are the two Arab countries on good terms with Israel until recently that Bahrain joined to establish good relations with Israel.

Whatever condemnation or strong words going the way of Israel from the Egyptians is understandable because of the current conflict. They are influential in the Arab world and no one expects them to support Israel openly or not condemn condemn Israel for the wanton attacks on civilians.
El Sisi even said part of the reasons he doesn't want Palestinian refugees to move to the Sinai Peninsula is because he doesn't want Israel to bomb his country as Hamas would start attacking Israel from there the refugees should move in.

Egypt that joined Israel on its blockade of Gaza since 2007 and hate Hamas as much as Israel do. The parent terrorist group that gave birth to Hamas - the Muslim Brotherhood is even proscribed in Egypt

Foreign Affairs / Re: U.S Tests New Nuclear Bombs As A Warning To Russia (Photos) by ReubenE(m): 8:40am On Oct 22, 2023
CSTRR:
I don't think this is to dissuade Russia.

It's just a means to detect nuclear activity.

Russia is already a major nuclear power.
Conducting more nuclear activity is no big deal, just like china is said to increase their nuclear stockpiles.

The real purpose of that tech is to detect any potential nuclear activity from new actors like Iran, turkey, north Korea and maybe Pakistan.
Clearly stated in the report. I wonder why most people missed that.

The US do not need to test weapons to send a message of deterrence to those they consider their enemies.
The enemies already know the devastating power of the US, which the rudimentary of them all, any war with the US, a greater part of it will be fought in the enemy's homeland
Culture / Re: Edo Groom’s Dance Incurs Oba Of Benin’s Anger As Palace Places Curse by ReubenE(m): 12:25pm On Oct 21, 2023
EXOUSIAng:


You get it wrong.

I could curse a politician as a person, without the backing of a spirit entity and nothing will happen.
But the type of curse the Oba of Benin is talking about is not just word of mouth.
Note that he is not the one placing the curse, they is a group charged with that responsibility, not just anybody can place the curse.
That curse I can guarantee you will go with a sacrifice on an alter, making it a covenant. That curse now has the backing of a spirit entity, a spirit or deity is now backing the curse making sure the curse is activated....

I am not talking about emotional curses, curses we lay out of anger and frustration, like saying "Ogun kill you"
But you see go to a river Ogun bank meet with a priest provide what is needed to invoke Ogun and lay that curse, you will see the difference between "Ogun kee you" and "Ogun kill you" except the person in question is innocent. And in this case we both know the young man is not innocent

No joke with those things oh.
Go to your village and break some rules that may seem lame and you would be shocked at the result.... Those rules as simple or stupid as they may seem have spirit watching.

How do you think we Africans maintained order in our societies before the white man brought police?
Or you also think we had no order and we were jumping from tree to tree....
when will the Oba of Benin and his council of curse priests curse economic development in Benin or even start from the stoppage of cultism and idleness in Benin/Edo

Release all the hostages stubborn Hamas.

It is unreal that all the blame go the way of Israel for not doing enough to protect civilians while nobody is calling for the release of the hostages held by Hamas.

The terrorist sympathizers will tell people to go and read 75 years history instead of telling the terrorists to release all the hostages.
Releasing the hostages is the only concrete ground for the present carnage to stop, not entirely but at least a good start

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Do Recruiters Reject A Candidate Because Of Location? by ReubenE(m): 12:25pm On Oct 20, 2023
I think they do. Some don't even hide it anymore as they now tag their preferred locations with the job advert.
Some believe they are trying to reduce the travel time of their employees like in Lagos where there is traffic problems and most employees using that to cover their tardiness. It is not entirely bad but those unnecessary bottlenecks in a growing economy is a recipe for disaster - not rapid but cumulative and gradual because by doing that employers are already at the risk of limiting competence.

Of course it is only done in a dysfunctional system like it is the fault of an applicant to live in a particular area especially when that is where they can afford

Foreign Affairs / Re: 10 To 50 People Were Killed At Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital - European Intelligence by ReubenE(m): 12:11am On Oct 20, 2023
Lanre1st:
I don't imagine people start believing that only 10 people died in hospital bombing. But when Nigeria 🇳🇬 govt told you no one die at Lekki you disagree.

Govt will always buy media for defence and propaganda

I Stand With Justice, I Stand With Palestine
Actually the explosion was in the parking lot. Not even all the cars in the parking lot were damaged. There was really no structural damage to the hospital building too but certainly the impact of the explosion killed people.

Nobody really can tell how many because all the reports from both sides are fashioned to favor the side that is reporting it.
Al Jazeera immediately reported over 500 people dead but later in their news bulletin, they walked the number down to 491 and at the same time still reporting over 500.
The obvious question is how were they able to recover and count that staggering number of dead bodies in that short time frame in the midst of the carnage and especially when the fire was not yet totally extinguished.

In my opinion, a lot of people may have died from the explosion but that over 500 blahblahblah is a propaganda number. It's just to give a dog a bad name to hang it.

The deaths they've been reporting before now was almost 80% children of the total number. Then one wonder how the parents leave their children elsewhere in a theater of war to get killed while most of the parents appear to be totally unhurt

It's obvious they don't value their children's lives and since they probably have many wives, having more children is like baking bread in oven for them.

Even if they use those children as collateral damage, they know that they'll still have more after those one's deaths.
Apparently that's what they are.

alamscolo:
I watch the videos on CNN and aljazeera, abeg let them stop this air bombardment, it Is killing the civilians more, I believe land invasion will be targeted at the culprit rather than killing little children. It's not appealing I must confess or Palestine and Israel should reach an agreement as per land sharing. Those counts are really underestimated... There are still a lot of people under those rubble
The carnage needs to stop but land invasion will even send more civilians to their grave on the Palestinian side, and some soldiers on the Israeli side.

If ground forces move into Gaza with those tanks amassed around the border, if a militant shoots a rifle from the sixth floor, IDF is likely to respond with artillery fire on the building and that would involve bringing many buildings down with severe human casualties.
Hamas militants are known to fight within civilian population, it is the reason I suspect Israel has stalled on moving in and why some western countries are against Israel staging a ground invasion.

Urban warfare with artillery fire will move Palestinian civilians from frying pan to fire

Watch Al Jazeera, the emphasis is always on children, either they are displaying them on camera or announcing children death toll every minute.
While innocent civilians are caught in the crossfire, Hamas and their civilian sympathizers are just doing propaganda with the children children narrative

I don't get it, why are they always showing pictures of themselves carrying children who have died, is it to gain public sympathy or what?
That has always been the strategic end game of those people. Wrap the dead or anything inside sheet and put it on camera to turn the world against their adversaries especially after looking for trouble.

Watch Al Jazeera, it is only children they display on camera even those of few months old and I wonder how a 5 months old baby is injured but the mother appear to be fine

To my christain Broda’s that think Israel is a christain country and they are fighting for Christ. This is how much they hate Christain.
Does Muslims love Christians? Muslims are known to have killed more Christians than Jews, and what's the Christians vs Jews gaslighting that some of you folks always bring up.
Christians are only taking taking their chances where the odds favour them more. Muslims hate Christians as much as the hate you think Jews have for Christians. Christians still go to Jewish lands for pilgrimage but same cannot be said of Christianity in Saudi Arabia. To begin with, it is not even a d!ck measuring contest of who hates who more.

When Isreal is wrong, blame them. When Muslims foment terrorism which they are largely known for, blame them as well...and stop the gaslighting of who hates who

i just laugh at these talks, do you know the number of woke lefties across the west and even in israel shouting human right crap and the likes

Are you not surprised it is even a democrat govt that is standing more with israel at this time

Biden wasnt even in best terms with bibi until the need arose unlike trump.

its about regional security first and that partnership with their biggest ally comes first regardless of sentiments

If israel dont get it right then they are also at risk, so they can talk about human right for saying sake but would still back them behind scene

Honestly decisive decisions arent pretty
Aren't we saying the same thing. Now ask yourself, why was Biden not on good terms with BIBI before this incident. It was largely because of the state capture by the far right among other sundry reasons.
Nobody is inferring the US is going to withdraw support from Israel but not putting a leash on Israel in the face of rising civilian death toll would certainly create pressure for him back home. Next year is election year.

Bombing a "hospital" with civilians is very remarkable even in war and can quickly change public perception. Civilians getting killed in a hospital strongly stands out from those killed on the streets. Israel got this one wrong

UN can only issue call for restrictions, if they wont obey they wont cos only them know the threat to their existence

The whole world public opinion on russia how as it stopped what they do
I know right. Russia is a rogue nation so is not accountable to anyone.

Western powers especially the US that support Israel on the other hand are not like that. The actions of Israel can actually create domestic political pressure for them back home. Biden is already at a crossroad because some power blocs in the homeland are not in support of the collective punishment method inflicted on all Palestinians by Israel.
If the civilian death toll continue to rise exponentially, it only means more pressure would be put on the US/Biden to restrain Israel and sensing a crack on their relationship with Israel at this critical time would mean a strategic win for the terrorists.

There is everything wrong with bombing a hospital with civilians even if there are militants hiding there

In as much as there is collective angts in the civilised world to the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas,Israel should not lose that goodwill by equally barbaric,unwarranted attack on Hospitals and indeed other civilian places of refuge.
Even if Hamas is using those places as staging points,as Isreal likes to use as reason for these attacks,no justification exists for killing innocent people for a single Hamas militant or hideout,none at all.
Goodwill can easily turn in this fast paced world of internet and social media.Israel is playing into the hands of Hamas
You are very wise.

The strategic plan and endgame for Hamas when they launched that attack on Israel is what is happening now. Force Israel to overreact then turn the international goodwill they enjoy in their favour.
Israel is fast losing that goodwill with this indiscriminate killings. The lives of five, ten, twenty Hamas fighters hiding in a hospital cannot be equated to the lives of several hundreds of other innocent people in same hospital, the world is not going to see it the way Israel is seeing it and by this act, they are doing Hamas a favour.

It is understandable that Israel needs to make a strong statement in response to the attack on October 7 since it was an embarrassment to the mysticism around their military strength but bombing almost everybody in response doesn't cut it

He said America could not defeat Assad grin
Let Syria and or Afghanistan as state actors declare war on America then we'll know if the USA can defeat them or not. Mentioning non state actors that hide behind walls to fight that they could not be defeated show how comic you sound.

Israel has been attacking Iranian assets for close to a decade which is an encroachment on them. What is stopping them from declaring war on Israel? Israel has dropped over 6,000 bombs on Gaza, what is stopping Iran from declaring war on Israel rather report them to the UN.
You mentioned "Russia" somewhere in your comment too grin Russia hates terrorists as much as Israel.
You said Taliban grin Taliban that has not finished dealing with earthquake.
Some of you just love hiding behind one finger to make yourselves look good. Anthony Blinken is begging. Egypt, Saudi, UAE etc the most powerful blocs in the region in terms of military and economy receives billions of dollars from the US in military aid annually.

My brother, you are not getting the point. The US is actually doing that to intimidate them because they are not on the same level, that is the point I am trying to point out. Like I made clear in my lead post, it is nonsensical for any one to bring Iran into the discourse of global power play where the likes of US is fishing. Iran is a local champion and not even a regional power. There's no power metric that Iran is leading in the middle east. They are not the biggest regional economy and certainly not the strongest military where the likes of economic blocs like the UAE and Israel in terms of military. Iran that could not even tame Iraq.
This is not an attempt to downgrade them because they have a resilient population and have some very good scientists but seeing people use them to measure d!ck with the likes of the US and Israel is really annoying.

Israel has been bombing their assets in Syria for years now, what did they do, nothing. They could not even shoot down one Israeli plane in Syrian territory not to talk of attacking the homeland of Israel.
Even the smallest man on earth can inflict injuries on his opponent that's why Iran has been left alone and again, breaking Iran down will create serious regional problems because it would be a hotbed of terrorism. Iran is sponsoring terrorist groups and imagine a scenario where there is no strong government in place in Iran, terrorism will escalate to a bigger level.

To your last paragraph. The US secretary of state visiting Arab capitals or begging for peace in your words is not because of the fear of Iran. The US simply do not want a crack on the leverage and influence they have over those Arab countries because of the actions of Israel in Gaza. Everyone knows Israel is collectively punishing all the people of Gaza because of the actions of Hamas. In a scenario like that, not even the enemies of Hamas would like it because innocent people are suffering for the actions of a few. The US is just trying to keep their influence and further isolate Iran from those countries. Egypt especially and Saudi Arabia receives the highest military aid from the US annually so your guess is good as mine.

Pray for Gaza pray for Gaza but Hamas is still shooting rockets from Gaza. Maybe they are hoping on Iran to save them.

Iran that's a joke. Their top military general was light up in broad day light like a common criminal. What did they do, they made noise of retaliation for over a week. When they finally did, they could not even direct their missiles properly, had to shoot down their own plane. Then fired some rickety missiles to a US scrapyard that was only able to cause minor headaches to the scrap collectors in the military base.

Imagine a foreign country toast the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the US military in a broad day light. That country would be history.
It was done to Iran the noise makers that are only good in sponsoring terrorists. Their serving General that was only second to the Ayatollah in terms of influence.

Even Ayatollah himself had to come out and deny Iranian involvement in the Hamas attack because clearly he knows he would be among the first to receive hell fire missile on his head gear.
Israel is baiting them with "intelligence failure" and they are dancing. Why people even mention Iran in global power play beats me especially where the likes of US is fishing.

God will bless you a million and more times for saying this. People rarely even talk about this.

Imagine a scenario where there is no Iron Dome in Israel, they would have suffered as much as the people of Gaza are suffering now.
Hamas has fired 7,000 or more rockets into Israel in the last seven days and what if they all actually hit their targets. Those rockets are not even intended for military targets as they fire them in any direction they deem fit with the intention of causing maximum damage.
