Foreign AffairsRe: I Think Russian Army Has Proven They Are Stronger Than US Army See Why. by Scholes007(m): 5:13pm On Sep 25, 2022
Goodmarlian:
Since the world war two America has only invaded third world countries Iraq,Afghanistan,Libya,Syria etc and was lastly disgraced out of Afghanistan,the countries America invaded did not use state of the art weapons like long range missiles,they did not use advanced tanks,stingers rockets ,they did not use Himars, these countries America invaded were just using Ak47 and rocket launchers and were reduced to guerrilla fighters,and worst of it America fought all her wars with her western allies,she has never fought alone.

Russia singlehanded invade Ukraine alone without allies,despite heavy western support Ukraine enjoyed they were still able to sieze 30% of Ukrainian land. give it to Russia the great bear they are masters if warfare.

I'm impressed by this man, he will make a fine leader.
PoliticsRe: Will Atiku Abubakar Be The Next President Of Nigeria? by Scholes007(m):
1. If Atiku pulls off galvanizing the northern votes (NE/NW) in his favour then he stands the best chance.
Odds will be against Tinubu then Obi will have very limited option (that's if Obi secured SE/SS votes).
2. If Atiku has a highly contested NE/NW then all bets are off his hands then he will rely on dumb luck.
I) Should Kwankwaso lead the NW and Obi secures SS/SE then bets will be heavily against Tinubu and in most ways against him...
Ii) Should he lose both NE/NW then it comes down to who ever leads by significant margin in the region except for Kwankwaso becomes the president. (i.e if Tinubu secures SW and Obi SE/SS)
My point is no one should assume victory yet as it's still too early and will be a very fluid election
LP should always look at worst case scenario while maintaining their push both online and offline.
PDP should strive to secure NE/NW to stand a better chance
APC should work more on their strategy else they will be worst off.

Foreign AffairsRe: Japan: Hirosima Marks 77th Anniversary Of The First Atomic Bomb Attack by Scholes007(m): 7:44am On Aug 10, 2022
I'm not trying to justify or support otherwise, but putting things in perspective with respect to time, one can make more logical sense out of the whole disaster.
At the time, the cost of invasion of Japan would have been very costly, for military (both Japan and the allied), civilian and materials alike.
PoliticsRe: Did Atiku Break Civil Service Commission Rules? (Video) by Scholes007(m): 4:44am On Jul 24, 2022
SmartPolician:
In my opinion, that section of the Nigerian law is not realistic. Therefore, it should be amended or expunged.

With the cost of living getting worse, nobody can conveniently survive on just one government job. Everyone deserves a second stream of income, as far as the government job is not negatively affected.
I totally support you on this. Government pay is as good as "go kill yourself"

Let that sink in! And my people are the ones telling you not to vote for Muslim/Muslim ticket. They call you headslammers. It's time for Nigerian Muslims to show your haters that you are not fools. Vote for Tinubu /Shettima 2023. Being a Muslim is not a crime! Defend your religion.
You speak non sense. Like someone asked you earlier, how many Christians have been voted in zamfara, Kano, kastina, sokoto, kebbi

There is something really wrong somewhere that my people from the SouthEast are not willing to address or accept. Rather than get agitated and offended by what clearly is a monopoly of prolific drug trafficking, my people must start to look themselves in the mirror and stop giving the country a bad image outside.

Sometimes I really don't blame them, our leader are the epitome of shamelessness and failure, in as much, we as a people must desist from all sorts of bad acts that brings a bad reputation to the good people of Nigeria.

Southeast and it's people must address this problem before many of it's youths are jailed languishing in prisons all across Asia and the rest of the world.

Foreign AffairsRe: No Other Country In The World Would Have Survived What Russia Did by Scholes007(m):
Hanibbal:
Lies...Go and read about the Korean war. The Chinese numbers were to their advantage both sides suffer heavy casualty but the Chinese were just swooping on U.S troops. A U.S war veteran in a documentary I watched said he had never seen anything like that in his life. They almost drove U.S troops into the Yalu river
Every account I read and watched noted there were heavy casualty on both sides especially because of the extreme weather and the sudden and surprised attack by the Chinese and the north Korean. But the constant factors are
*The allied forces were outnumbered
*The Chinese and Korean forces continued to attack despite their unimaginable casualties. (Most allied members will compare the attacks to cannon folders.)
* The allied forces retreat and counter attacked after reenforcement. (Inflicting more casualty on the Chinese.)
* The allied forces achieve recovery of the all south Korean territories
* Because there is no logical reason to continue the war (on the allied side), a compromise was reached.
* This was the creation of the DMZ
*The US and allies successfully achieved making north Korean a pariah state.
My friend modern wars are not black and white. It is strategy and logic. Korean war was technical success for US and it's democracy.

In your dreams. A super power that North Korea gave headaches during the korean war. When the Chinese now entered the war to back the Korean side it was as if U.S troops were being slaughtered like chickens the chinese with their sheer numbers were just swooping on U.S troops. A super power that fled and could not defeat rag tagged and ill equipped communist militias in Vietnam.

A super power that spent billions in Afghanistan, wasted american lives there and ran away in the middle of the night without informing Afghan military that they were training. Go and sleep bro.
I don't know where you got your history book from but actually it was the Chinese that was slaughtered. There number advantage was evident on the Chinese side but the casualty figure was not sustainable for any nation except communist nation.

The Russian artillery firepower is a nightmare to any fighting force on the planet. Even one retired US captain couldn't help but confessed the fearsomeness of the Russian Arty units which he described as a "rain of steel".

Assetinvestor:
The most tribalistic people in Nigeria are yorubas yet they would deny it openly. From their pastors to traditional rulers, agberos to politicians, and even the educated ones, it's still the same thing!

They claim to be educated and sophisticated yet are campaigning and hoping that a criminal and desperate old man like tinubu would rule Nigeria even when far better candidates like Peter Obi is there. They even decide to fight Obi and preach hate against Igbos.

Well, it is left for all Nigerians to decide their fate, vote for tinubu and suffer the consequences or vote Obi and experience a turn around.
unfortunately there nothing to see in Nigerian politics.
Foreign AffairsRe: US Should Pay France For Loss Of Russian Gas – Le Pen by Scholes007(m): 7:58pm On Apr 17, 2022
olugabbie:
Of course they are. The US sanctioned some German and Russian companies working on the Nord Stream II under Trump. They wanted to kill the project. This happened when there was no war.

The US has being pressuring the West to abandon Russian oil & gas ⛽ for years.

Marine Le Pen is a nationalist. She believes France is a super power on it's own. She is one of the people that are wary of the dependent of the EU/NATO on the US. She also believe that there can be no peace in Europe without winning Russia over to the Western side. She thinks China os a major threat to the West and to counter China. The West needs Russia and India.

She said she will pull France out of NATO & urge other Western countries to develop strong ties with Russia for peace to reign in Europe.

You can read up on her manifesto.
US and other NATO members' concern on Nord Stream II Project especially with respect to the security and economic garantee of the west was in jeopardy. I understand some of these nationalist has some myopic view on issues like these. Le pen like Trump has short term view on important security issues. How will u invite a nation that clearly perceive you as hegemonic and has tailored it's philosophy toward undermining ur effort into ur security structure.
NATO has continued joint effort with Russia in position of strength and mutual respect,which has been the main reason for the existing peace in Europe. There is no logical reason undermining such structure because of individual interest.

When is Africa going to be held accountable for what they did to themselves? Rwanda genocide, starving of SE children, the Fulani marauders across Nigerian, the ongoing BH onslaught on people of the North, the millions that was sold into slavery by their kinsmen and the many more than are still being matched into sex slavery across Europe by Africans or the many that have been sold by Libyans.

Truth be told if the west should leave us to our vices Africa will destroy itself. Imagine if not that the west steps in every now and then to stop our leaders from themselves by now our leader would have sold Nigeria and flee to somewhere else. That is how destructive we are to ourselves.

So please leave the west and focus inward.

We have election next year and all the idiots that has hand in the situation we are in have started crawling out from their caves to come and steal from the public and there are ordinary people who saw nothing wrong with that. And you are here pointing fingers at the west.

Well it was meant to be a 2 day war at best, now it's almost two months , 7 weeks already.

Russian intelligence told Putin that many Ukrainians would welcome Russian troops.

From house arrest in March to notorious Jail in April. Putin is not happy.
That's the result of the invasion lingering on. Of course Putin will purge more of his own.

Foreign AffairsRe: Finnish And Swedish Leaders To Hold Joint Press Conference On NATO Membership by Scholes007(m):
All predictions keep unfolding. Consequence of international blonder. It would have made the best sense if Putin had only threatened Ukraine and not invade or at worse made a quick but tangible defeat against Ukraine. Now the more the so called special military operation lingers, the more the west will make most of it.
In the coming year or so, Russia will be relegated to a semi pariah state or at best a nuclear regional power. She will have a very little to no influence in Europe.
The bitter truth is, Russia just strengthened The west (US) hegemony. Indirectly, aided Indo-Pacific strategy.
TIP Watch the politics of Pacific region closely.
