Foreign Affairs / Re: 1957, HS Debate: A Nigerian, A Ghanaian, A White South African And An Ethiopian by scully95: 12:38pm On Mar 08, 2021
Why don't we have this Kind of Debate anymore?

When boiz were men, Boniface nailed all of them.
We need to have this kind of debate and I think Naira land is the platform for such in recent years.
These racial segregations still very much around everywhere you go in the U.S and South Africa.

Today, it's institutional racism. A kind of controlled racial and Economic segregation where 1% controls and rule the rest 99% are slaves. Also in Nigeria, you have the same thing.

In South Africa, still, the same issue, despite the table-turning to the side of the owners of the land. You still have Economic segregation there. South Africans don't control their farmlands. Hardly would you see a south African pilot. Things you see in Nigeria are not common in South Africa. It's not just south, U.S same thing, U.K also almost the same thing. You have jews take over strategic positions... Even in Nigeria, you still have elements of the same ideology, some of whom are Northerners who think the geographical area belongs to them and as such they are entitled to the wealth of the South.

Everywhere you go, you still have this common human behavior *GREED* continue to exist.

Like trump who incited a riot against his government? you must be miserable

Read more here first.. https://www.nairaland.com/6350351/mind-blowing-hypocrisy

Which government? The crooks that rigged Election in 2016 and when it came out that they are crooks rigging elections like Banana republic, no one was prosecuted instead, they started Russian gate, used all sort of nonsense witch hunt against the government.

Then it's not his government, right? When those Ziomedia were witch-hunting after they rigged Elections in 2016. Russia and Trump did it for sure. Nonsense 10th world Zionist hijacked state, exporting regime change and puppet regime around the world, Banana champion. It's right in their face. Everyday is for the thief but one day is for the owner. That day is near.

ANywhere Zionist entities exist, they never live forever. They always shoot themselves in the leg at the end of the day. Just Take USSR for example. The Zionism finally shot itself in the leg and it fell apart. The same thing is set to happen to the de-facto leader of the Anglozionist empire.

They have done it again(what they know of to do best, rigging elections and coup de tat) and now it's coming right back at them.

The explosion will eventually happen and Trump has set the record straight.

This was predicted months ago by reporting in Wapo and Nytimes.

Foreign Affairs / Welcome To Banana Republic by scully95: 9:34am On Jan 10, 2021
Another stand up ovation for Trump. This must be what they told Pence he would lose if he does not concede(See screenshot bellow). Trump is a patriot.

The coup plotters are the democrats and they all need to go to jail. Time to finally take the U.S.A back from these Anglozionist bureaucrats.

Can you imagine Facebook, Twitter, and Google silencing freedom of speech, and all of you, shame on you look the other way. Is this what the First Amendment means? Someone will start lecturing me that only applies to the state but not the private bodies.

In reality, you do not have any say. Your freedom is just in the paper and many of you are living in another reality. What a Banana republic.

Foreign Affairs / Mind Blowing Hypocrisy! by scully95: 11:16am On Jan 07, 2021
I just listened to Trey Gowdy and a few others GOP big-shots condemn the “terrible violations of the law” committed by the protestors today and I take my hat off to these folks: they are truly world class hypocrites.

When cops and mayors refuse to protect the innocent, the rule of law is doing great!

When the letter soup agencies spend millions on a typical witch hunt, the rule of law is doing great!

When the First Amendment is being destroyed by Big Tech, the rule of law is doing great!

When the corporate legacy ziomedia brazenly silences the President, and simply does not report on crucial events, the rule of law is doing great!

When elections are stolen, the rule of law is doing great!

When courts refuse to enforce the law, the rule of law is doing great!

When the Supreme Court refuses to defend the Constitution, the rule of law is doing great!

But when the people, literally, those whom the elected officials are supposed to represent, demonstrate all day peacefully and then a few, not necessarily even Trump supporters (false flags are very easy to organize with crowds!), storm the halls of Congress, then the GOP bigshots take to the air and lament the “tragedy” of the law being violated.

No country and no regime can stand on such truly galactic levels of doublethink, hypocrisy and cowardice.

This is the beginning of the end of this regime.

My thoughts tonight are with the “deplorables”. In the prophetic words of George Orwell:

“If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflection of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They need only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it.”

Orwell’s “proles” are our “deplorables”. And for all the self-evident weaknesses and delusions, they are the only ones left, literally, and they will have to be the soil from which the liberation of the USA will have to begin.

The rest of them make me feel nauseated.

gregyboy:
Esu, in edo is satan

Yoruba borrowed it and misinterpreted it, this what you get when you can copy what you borrowed
[/s]

You are brainwashed and the awareness is to de-brainwash the brainwashed. First, Oromniyan was the founder of Edo also know as Ilu Ibunu. Ok. Go back to your history. The same way Ajayi Crowther translated the foreign Bible and label Satan initially as Satani but later went to change it to Satan when the captured slave returnee was being used by the missionaries, is the same way you have such elements in other regions do the work of brainwashing ppl. ESU exists as a spirit(Irunmole) and as an Orisa(the human form of the spirit).

So please get that straight and do a little more investigation.

Emperordynasty:

Instead of these ones to campaigned for better things like how ASUU strike will be ended ..they are campaigning for the identity of an ancient idol that brought them no good but slavery to the British and Backwardness In all areas

This is what many of you do not know. Just this campaign and awareness alone and if you dig deep, you will find out that you are just wasting your time as ASUU and the totality of the Educational System in the current Nigger area has failed.

Do you know why? It started with telling you, your values, everything you held dare is devilish, primitive, backward, and barbaric...
Tell me how the university you will be wasting 4 years able to help you spot your Ori?

My guess is a big nowhere. You will graduate, out of school no Job, no skill, still back to the street looking for your Ori. Western education has failed. it's just the type that you are being told this is colour a, this is a tv and this is how it works. COPY and Paste is not Education, it programming and limiting your real ability to discover yourself.

In other words, it's not discovering your pathway in life to success. That is what we had and held dare before your western Education came and told us that is primitive and is started with Esu, saying Esu is satan. Mind you, we still have it. Ifafiti (The oldest instituition ever)

Maybe this awareness will open a door in your heart to re-think your footsteps and try to find your true self.. meaning what you are good at instead of wasting most of your life waiting for a failed Educational institution.

OMG!
Paypal? Website?? LWKMD! Where mogbe OMG.. First of all where I live there is light uninterupted, good road and good water. (Get that straight first of all).
Number 2. It's really childish to attack the messenger while using such a stup*d nonsense unrelated tactics to the subject topic to justify anything the de-facto leader of the Anglozionist empire may do. A state that is *Rigging Election and its media openly publicly declare winner of Election* .

Even in Nigger Area created by the EMpire, Media can not style style declare the winner of an Election. Only a *10th world country* I repeat a 10th world country would do that and the dummies, brain dead like you would not see anything wrong with that..

Why would you? The answer is above. Instead of facing the real deal, better off attacking messenger instead of using little mushroom brain left. Again a brain dead from 10th world country or wannabe Angloo zoo potential puppet.. Useful id*ot if you ask me

Yes, there are many poverty stiken people living in Nigger Area(Nigeria). A creation of the Anglozionist empire. In other words, a zionist entity.

I am not saying this as a way of showing off.. No that is A STUPID capitalist mentality.. U can even judge by me being online for over 4 year on NL..

I only care about my ppl, the suffering from your Anglozionist empire must stop. And how they need to see what a 10th world in reality they are and would be a slap to compare such to the same 3rd world they often claim Nigger area is ok..

U.S.A is a 10th world country by those points above. Proof me wrong.. Election of 2016 was not rigged? Rigging again and again like it's normal thing. OMG.. Fuuu

If you can't answer that, i wont reply you again.

Pls get some brains.

And last point, just by calculating the amount of time I have spent online on Nairaland alone Vs yours, it's enough for reader to judge and the low life living poverty striken wanna be anglozoo puppet. Just compare your ID and amount spent online vs mine.

if you are to convert the amount I spent online on NL for over that year into data, it will probably feed your entire poverty stricken generation.
(Again it;s not in my nature to show off cos I am a Socialist to the core unlike you capitalist but i needed to point this one out.) You live a low life wherever you may be and the difference between me and you is, I want the best for my ppl, free for your Anglozoo masters.

Look at it yourself and let the readers be the judge. Who is more scammy lies, using petty tactics, running totally away from subject topic.
Even the same U.S the poverty that is growing at an alarming rate..



Your brain dead lowlife tactics of trying to attack the messenger but never ever face the real fact is just too childish. How old are you by the way.

Again U.S.A is a 10th world country by all of its act.. i think i will have to write an article about USA, the 10th world country Parading itself as Exceptional..

Now that this thread has touched a nerve. I will go on and write a full 3000 words article.. Subject topic - USA, the 10th world country Parading itself as Exceptional

When I am done with it, I will share it on here.

Why is it that when people talk about the fact, you guys like seeing it as hate? A party rigged Elections in 2016 during Sanders vs Killary Killton(And yes she is Killary Killton after hacked info revealed how she was confirming drone strikes on civilians targets in Pakistan on her phone when she was Sec of state under Obomber(Obama) And yes Obama is Obomba after starting 5-7 different wars)...

Back to rigging. Sanders 2016 were rigged and when info came out about it, they started Russian gate, blaming Russia for exposing what a 5th and 6th world they are and often accuse other countries of Rigging. Not knowing they are the king of Election riggers. They did the same thing to Bonny Sander again like it's a normal thing.

Now they have done it again, Rigged Joe Biden, and the totality of the Zio-media came out declaring winner? That is 10th World country. Very backward in reality and so shocking. That is not hating but a fact right there...

dont worry, when you don fight for light,water and bad road finish, your eye go clear..
Yes, we need to fight the same empire completely so we can get light and road. Do you know how? Cos many of you just open post and comment without having any info of how this foreign semi puppet master affects you indirectly.

When Aja-okuta steel industry is completed(You can be sure of having a real road network) also Rosatom deal(Nuclear power plants for Electricity) the one Yaradua started and the reason the same west killed Yaradua. For signing a deal with Russia not only to complete Aja-okuta steel industry but also to start a new Rosatom deal.

How dare Yaradua do such a thing? They killed him and warned GEJ. It made a lot of sense why GEJ continued all the projects Yaradua started but did not continue Rosatom and Ajaokta instead replaced Rosatom with GE(Plants)... The one there Temporary puppets rendered useless in Niger Delta after gas sabotage to the Plants brought in by GE.

We have been fighting them, the western proxy Boko haram forces and yes, we are holding the upper ground in the fight. They(The west and its Proxy forces) have no leverage at all.

Actually, this election just proved 'your country' is only an economically buoyant third world country with a complex network of apex grade corruption spanning into the highest echelon of the judiciary and government.

Imagine, Gov. Kemp can't demand a simple signature audit even with the video evidence out and 'We the people' are supposed to put up with that and believe whatever MSM says.

In just a few days, anyways, you'll learn you know so little about 'your country'.

Using 3rd world to describe North America, U.S.A is like a slap on the 3rd word countries they often accuse of being a 3rd world. I would Put U.S.A on the list of 5th or 6th world. Pure empty vessle in everything.

Kudos to the Yoruba people for preserving their culture , heritage and identity.

The Yoruba people are really a special tribe in Africa. People from other places envy them because those people fail to understand history. A little sojourn in the realm of history reveals that democracy was not alien to the Yorubas. The old Oyo empire had checks and balances which included an impeachment procedure of the Alaafin of Oyo . The legislature was not a rubber one like we have always had in modern Nigeria. A parrot head in a calabash was enough to send a dictatorial Alaafin on a suicide mission.

It was with this commendable democratic principle of inclusion and liberalism that Asiwaju , the Jagaban of Planet Earth, built the city housing the most billionaires in Sub-saharan Africa . A city open to visitors than nowhere else in Nigeria even though these visitors do not wish the Yoruba people well. If you doubt my assertion check the names of the "purported" Lekki massacre victims and you will find more visitors than natives.



Victims of the alleged Shite massacre bore names rampant in Northern Nigeria, Victims of Awkuzu SARS genocide bore names rampant in South Eastern Nigeria. Even if you argue that it is a Nigerian thing or not a modern 2020 thing, I'll remind you of the Iranian missile air defence crises in January ,2020, which happened in Iranian airspace and not even on ground and it had 95% Iranian casualties.
That there are less Yoruba victims in an alleged military activity that happened in their soil (even in the hearsay CNN report) is the eighth wonder of the world.
There is no Tribe in the Nigger area created by the brits. You have loads of races so please stop using that word tribe. It's derrogatory to call any group of people, a Tribe.
Tribe is a group of backward barbaric people.

Do you have any word in Oodua Language or Igbo that is known as TRIBE?
That word is foreign word and does not conform with our cultural ethics and standard. - (Omoluabi can never be a tribe)

Yoruba as it again!!!!! Why are these people ever willingly to blame other people for their misfortune? The protesters were in Lagos and majority of them were Yoruba who might have harbored ill thoughts against the Yoruba person who owned the TV station. After all, it could have been presumed that money used for building TV station collectively belonged to them. Any protests in Enugu, Umuahia, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Awka, Asaba, Uyo, Calabar or Abakiliki would have targeted the infrastructures publicly assumed to be owned by former politicians who usurped the commonwealth of the people to his\her personal usage. It is very silly and tribal at best to even insinuate that IPOB or Ndigbo were behind the destruction of properties in Lagos. In the middle of so-called protest, certain goons from a tribally section of the Nigeria are blaming other people already. The talk of revolution and restructure is Nigeria is silly and idiotic exercise. Nigeria should borrow leaf from Malaysia and Singapore.

Yes, I am angry the way things are in the current state of Nigeria and that feeling is not directed against any race in Nigeria but all the leaders that have failed the people. I had to take a chill pill like I always do as a deep thinker and re-analyze everything that took place over the past two weeks.

Then I found out the Igbos may be making the same mistake as they did before the Biafran when the first coup ever took place and all the leaders were killed except the Igbo leaders.

The same thing is being done as we speak right now.

Check out this post bellow to see for yourself and analyze like they always say. Oodua Ronu.

This post above was shared among the biafran medias and it means just one thing, infiltrate the protest and use the little opportunity you have to make maximum destruction. Yes, a video was shown where the soldiers were firing warning shots. One could see the shot fired were flying upward at the lekkitollgate 'massacre'.

To use that as a pretext then went ahead to start burning the infrastructure we lack(Bus Station) in the same Lagos shows we are not on the same page. You also went ahead attacking the Oba house meanwhile non of your kings house in the east has ever been attacked in any Riot or whatsoever.

Let me also share this last screenshot.

This virtually explains everything, you attacked Tinubu's TV station while leaving others, also attacked the Oba's house. That is more political a movement than sharing the same agitation. Attacking the little infrastructure we have in Lagos simply means we are not on the same page.

Also attacking one leader's investment while letting the others walk freely also implies we are not on the same page here.

All the leaders that have failed the people must be treated the same. #OoduaRonu

This is Nnamdi Kanu's conversation with the IPOB who are leading the mayhem in different parts of Nigeria.

Foreign Affairs / U.S. Senate To Vote On Whether To Purchase Russia’s Legendary S-400 Missile De.. by scully95: 12:52pm On Jun 30, 2020
U.s. Senate To Vote On Whether To Purchase Russia’s S-400 Missile Defense System From Turkey



The US Senate is to vote on legislation that would allow for the purchase of a Russian S-400 missile defense system from Turkey.

Senate Majority Whip John Thune, R-S.D., has proposed an amendment to the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would allow the purchase to be made using the U.S. Army’s missile procurement account.

This is an attempt to rectify the situation created by Ankara purchasing a S-400 missile defense system from Moscow, and subsequently being booted out of the F-35 joint strike fighter program as a form of punishment, among other things.

In an act that is entirely counter to this one, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jim Risch introduced an amendment that would take a tougher stance, mandating the Trump administration implement CAATSA sanctions on Turkey within 30 days of passage of the NDAA.

Risch has been critical of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and accused him of bad faith in dealings with the U.S. over the S-400.
Under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), which was introduced in 2017, any country concluding major defense contracts with Russia must be heavily sanctioned.

According to Jim Townsend, a former Pentagon official for European and NATO policy, the US has a very common policy of buying foreign technology, and could potentially exploit the S-400’s technology, and also use it to tests its own tactics and aircraft against it.
“I think the US buying the S-400s from Turkey is a clever way of getting Erdogan out of the jam he put himself in,” Townsend said. “We just want to get the system out of Turkey … and if it enables the Turks to take part in the F-35 then all the better.”

Currently, it is unclear which amendment the US Senate would vote, and even if either pass, they also need to pass the US House of Representatives and not be vetoed by the US President.

Trump has chosen not to sanction Turkey regarding the S-400 purchase.

The Senate Armed Services Committee’s draft of the authorization bill already contains language pertaining to Turkey and the F-35 program.

Turkey’s canceled receipt of 6 F-35A conventional-takeoff-and-landing models that were already built were instead provided to the US air force to accept, operate and modify.

This question was asked on quora and after I took my time to type top ten reasons to answer just one question, Oya submit oh, the button refused to submit, so I decided to replicate the same question here so people can learn what they are into and what a semi puppet leader they have in Nigeria and how the people are being directly affected.

See answer bellow.
1You are constantly in an Economic war with the empire, the base of its power is Economy and the only weapon left is $$$.**

2. Do you wonder why one of its permanent puppet state Saudi Arabia decided to crash oil price again by selling at ridiculous price?

3. That is the base of its Power against its colonized Petro dollar economies like Nigeria where I originate from.

4. When Saudi crashed the Oil, Petro dollar Economies like Nigeria has no Choice other than to de-value their currencies to meet up with the demand for the foreign dollar to buy something like say in China.

5. Why do you think the U.S fights war everywhere ? Still not done yet with Venezuela, Iran and Syria...?

6. Those are her potential colonized Petro-dollar economies whose leaders have refused to be recolonzied. Meanwhile EU countries are not adding more colonies shows to you why EURO is now equal to Dollar.


7. Do you know U.S most recently colonized Economy in the world ? UKRAINE. Go to that country, almost everything you choose to buy is now in Dollar. The people even openly tell you to pay in dollar. What does that tell you ? When Petro-dollar Economies buy something abroad, like in CHina, they need to first of all convert their currency to a proxy one(U.S Dollar also know as petrol-dollar) to balance payment in say CHina. So Petro-dollar has gone out of just attacking countries with oil, it does not matter if your country has oil or not as long as the puppet installed by the empire chooses to continue using mere printed $$$ dollar.

8. This is what gives the empire the ability to manipulate the dollar by printing it anyhow, so it does not lack dollar back home and as long as it keeps all her puppet countries in check, demand for dollar will continue growing.

9. The truth is, that kind of Economic policy can only survive in a one world order where the leader of the anglozionist empire dictates for the rest. With a country like Russia, China and Iran, honestly, it just a matter of time. Let me just put it straight, the world is currently in a transition from a one world order into a multipolar one. Gone are the days when U.S, U.K(E.U) controls 80% of world trade. Those days are long gone but we re in a different world now. A slowly but steadily dyeing dollar world.

10. Do you know why the U.S continues to invest in Fraking even though they are not making 1 dollar in it ? It's a free world, printing brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. FREE money. Everyday is for the thief but one day is for the owner and that day is near. This also explains why **1BTC =10,000 USD** as we speak. That is how useless usd is in reality and the real level of inflation USD is currently at. Nothing but its nefarious war around the world is backing the dollar. Again nothing but war but for how long?

justtoodark:
too much debt is not good....

the irony is,you must borrow to build stuffs.... undecided undecided
in this modern age,you cant avoid it.... undecided undecided

Well, the thing is Globalization is failing big time and current financial system is dying very fast if not even completely dead(Only a matter of time).
The future has already started. The future of payment and less DEBT society.

DEBT= Is nothing but modern day slavery and every country should do whatever it can to move far away from DEBT. The empire already wants everyone enslaved and the only way to do that is to sell DEBT (Slavery) to countries and if you can't pay back you know what will happen. (either they give you another debt to pay for debt like in the case of Greece or you start losing assets and when they are done with you, you money will be like Somalia or Zimbabwe)..

Note that this is what gives this G7 Economies the power to print massively and manipulate the financial system thereby making their currency stronger.

The G 7 Economies with U.S being the leader (A kind of Economic Dictatorship) where the FEDS prints $$$ at will without anything backing it while this mere printed paper that has no value but war backing it and the blood of innocent people worldwide.

Every dollar paper represent Debt. So for a country to be in DEBT. It means her citizen will continue to work hard, pay tax(Double if not multiple tax) till the rest of their lives or even generation unborn.

To build stuff. This is no rocket science, you have got to empower the Youth not via their useless buying of keke napep or okada but by investing in Education, research and development.

It's a long story but to cut it, you can do very well without borrowing much. Despite that, NIGERIA still has low DEBT but which ever way, A DEBT is a DEBT and it will keep growing if the right thing is not done.

Saudi oil war has started, they are selling a Barrel of oil for 8USD now. Dragging the price to all time low again trying to hurt other Oil dependent economies.

Nigeria already won this war so it wont have much effect. Naija may re-introduce the Dollar war back.

Before I go. The future of payment is BLOKCHAIN like BTC that is using the technology and also other POW currencies.
Do you wonder why 1BTC today is 3,000,000 Naira ?
That is the future of Payments and a DEBT free Society.
A DEBT that can't be transferred to anyone else.
An interesting future has begun.
Politics / Nigeria’s Foreign Debt Was $7 Billion In 2015. It Is $25 Billion Now. by scully95: 12:43pm On Mar 07, 2020
Today, the Nigerian Senate approved General Buhari’s $22 billion loan request. It will push our foreign debt to $47 billion. Buhari is 77 (so he claims).

It is you and your children that will repay it! But let me ask you a question, how has Buhari’s previous loans benefited you and your family?

How will his new loan of $22.7 billion benefit you? $500 million for NTA which few Nigerians watch and nothing for building schools for the 14 million children out of school in Northern Nigeria. Sad. Very sad day for Nigeria!

Foreign Affairs / Erdogan Loses The Battle In Syria, But The War Is Far From Over by scully95: 11:01am On Mar 06, 2020
[this analysis was written for the Unz Review ]
Following 6 hours of grueling negotiations, including direct negotiations between Putin and Erdogan, the parties have finally agreed to the following:

http://ooduarere.com/news-from-nigeria/world-news/erdogan-loses-battle/

A ceasefire will begin at midnight.
Russia and Turkey will jointly patrol the M4 highway (M5 now belongs to Damascus). A 6km buffer zone will have to be created and enforced on each side of M4 by the March 15th (see map above)
Both parties have reaffirmed their commitment to Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Both parties have reaffirmed their commitment to a create the conditions for a return of the refugees.
Both parties have reaffirmed that this conflict has no military solution.
Furthermore, there was a lot of things which were left unsaid, but understood by all:


The recent military gains of the Syrian military will not be disputed and otherwise challenged. The new line of contact has now become official.
Russia and Syria will continue to fight all the organizations which the UNSC has declared “terrorist” (al-Nusra, al-Qaeda, and all their franchises irrespective of any “rebranding”).
Moscow remains as committed to the protection of the legitimate Syrian government as ever.
From the above we can also deduce the following:

Erdogan’s Blitzkrieg has failed. Initially, the Turkish drones inflicted major damage on the Syrian forces, but the latter adapted extremely quickly which resulted in what the Russians jokingly referred to as “dronopad” which can roughly be translated as “dronerain”.
The Turks were clearly shocked by the Russian decision to bomb a Turkish battalion. What apparently happened is this: two Syrian Su-22 (old Soviet aircraft) bombed the convoy to force it to stop, then a pair of Russian Su-34 (the most modern Russian all-weather supersonic medium-range fighter-bomber/strike aircraft) dropped heavy ordinance on the convoy and surrounding buildings killing scores of Turkish special forces). Both sides decided to “blame” the Syrians, but they don’t fly Su-34, and everybody knows that.
Erdogan understood that he either had to double down or declare victory and leave. He wisely chose the latter, at least as a temporary measure.
Neither NATO nor the EU showed any signs of wanting to join Turkey’s war on Syria (because that is what we are really dealing with here), and neither did the USA. Since I cannot call that decision “wise” (there is no wisdom of any kind left in western regimes), I will call it simply “prudent” as Russia was not about to allow Turkey to invade Syria.
Iran, Hezbollah, and Libya all declared their willingness to fight the Turks for as long as needed and anywhere where needed.
In spite of these developments, it is pretty clear that internal Turkish politics will continue to force Erdogan to engage in what is politely called “neo-Ottoman” policies aka phantom pains for a lost empire. The obvious solution for Russia is to further arm the Syrians, especially with modernized versions of the Pantsir SAMs which have proven very effective against drones, MLRS rockets and even mortars.

The main Syrian problem is a lack of numbers. Until more forces are equipped, trained, deployed and engaged, the Russians need to provide a much stronger air defense capabilities to Syria. The Syrians have done miracles with old, frankly outdated, Soviet equipment (which, considering its age and lack of proper maintenance, has performed superbly), but now they need much better Russian gear to defend not only against Turkey, but also against the Axis of Kindness (USA+Israel+KSA).



Furthermore, it is my opinion that the Russian task force in Khmeimim and Tartus is too big and not well balanced. Khmeimin needs many more Su-25SM3 and a few more Su-35S/Su-30SM to protect them. The naval base at Tartus lacks ASW capabilities, as does much of the Russian naval task force in the eastern Mediterranean. And while the Russian Navy has a number of ships with “Kalibr” cruise missiles onboard, their numbers are, again, inadequate, which means that the Russian Aerospace Forces need to deploy as many Kalibr-capable aircraft in southern Russia as possible. Both Tartus and Khmeimim are pretty close to the Idlib province (that is also were the “good terrorist” tried to strike Russian forces from which, thanks to the successful Syrian offensive, they now cannot do anymore!). This suggests to me that Russia ought to declare a larger exclusive air control zone over both of this locations, and beef up the numbers of missiles and launchers the Russian air defenses will have to enforce it.

Finally, I think that Erdogan has outlived his utility for Russia (and for Turkey, for that matter!). He clearly is a loose cannon which, according to some rumors, even the Turkish public opinion is getting fed up with. Russia should not neglect that public opinion. Then there are the Libyans, “Field Marshal” Khalifa Belqasim Haftar, whose forces seems to have been extremely successful against the Turkish forces in Libya. The Russians are, quietly, supporting Haftar who, while not exactly an ideal ally for Russia, can prove useful. What the Russians need to do next is to explain two things to Erdogan and his ministers:

If you attack again in Syria, you will be defeated, possibly worse than the first time around
If you mess with our geostrategic interests, we will mess with yours
The only party which the Russians should never arm are the Kurds, who are even more unreliable than Erdogan and who are basically an Israeli asset to destabilize Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran. Russia should, however, talk to the Kurds (all factions) and convince them to accept a large cultural autonomy inside Syria, Iraq and Iran. Turkey could be added to this list, but only once a trustworthy government comes to power in Ankara. Under no circumstances should Russia arm the Kurds.

Right now, the best Russian ally in the region is Syria. This is the country which Russia needs to make safe by creating a truly modern air defense network. The Russians have already done a lot towards this goal, including integrating their combat management and EW systems, but that is not enough. While Russian aid and Syrian skills have forced the Israelis to conduct mostly symbolic and ineffective air strikes, often with missiles shot from outside the Syrian airspace, and while many (most) Israeli missiles were destroyed by the Syrian air defenses, it is pretty clear that both the Turks and the Israelis feel that if they launch missiles from long distance they are relatively safe. That perception needs to be changed, not only to force the Turks and the Israelis to shoot from even further and accept even more losses, but also to show the US, NATO and Europe that the Syrian air defenses are capable of making anything short of a massive attack pointless (and a massive attack costly).



We should also note that the Turkish propaganda machine has been very effective. Yes, a lot of what they said was self-evidently “feelgood” nonsense (thousands of dead Syrians, hundred of tanks, etc.) , but their footage of a Turkish drone striking a Pantsir in Libya did, at least initially, impress those who don’t understand air defense warfare (destroying a single isolated first-generation Pantsir is not that hard, especially from right above it, but destroying a Pantsir position in which launchers protect each other is quite different. And if that Pantsir position is protected “below” (AA+MANPADS) and “above” (medium to long range SAMs), then this becomes extremely difficult).

This war is not over and it won’t be until Erdogan is removed from power. Frankly, Russia needs a stable and trustworthy partner on her southern border, and that won’t happen until the Turks ditch Erdogan. The problem here is that God only knows who might succeed him, should the Gulenists seize power, that will not be good for Russia either.

And here we come back to the murder of General Suleimani. Frankly, the Iranians are spot on: the two things which made the Middle-East into the bloody mess it has been for decades are 1) Israel and 2) the USA. The end goal for the former is a one-state solution, whether accepted or imposed. The intermediate goal ought to be to get the US out of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and, possibly, Turkey. Erdogan is crazy and desperate enough (not to mention vengeful) to at least bring this intermediate goal one step closer by alienating the US and NATO. So the Russian game plan ought to be obvious: first, use military means to “contain Erdogan inside Turkey” and, next, engage in long term efforts to prepare for a post-Erdogan Turkey. Then let the SOB destroy himself.

I don’t believe that peace is possible between a secular Syria and a Takfiri-backing Turkey. And I sure don’t believe that the Takfiris can be remolded into any kind of “democratic opposition”. Thus the real end-goal for Russia and Syria will always be military victory, not “peace” (assuming that concept of “peace with the Takfiris” makes any sense at all, which it doesn’t). The Russians know that, even if they won’t admit it.

For the time being, what we see is the first phase of the Turkey-Syria war ending and for the next couple of weeks we shall see a transition into some other phase which will probably be one in which, surprise surprise, the Turks fail to remove all the Takfiri nutcases from Idlib which will then give Syria and Russia a legal reason to take direct action again. In theory, at least, Erdogan could decide to pour the Turkish armed forces across the border, but the closer they will get to Khmeimim and/or Tartus, the more dangerous the stakes for Turkey and for Erdogan personally.



The key to success for the Axis of Resistance is to make Syria too tough to crack. I hope that Russia, Iran, Syria and Iraq will continue to work together, hopefully with Chinese aid, to create such a Syria.

Politics / ‘ You Can’t Just Wake Up And Make Laws’ — Makinde Hits Malami Over ‘#amotekun’ by scully95: 10:02pm On Jan 15, 2020
Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo state, says Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF) lacks the power to declare “Amotekun” an illegal group.

The south-west governors had established the regional outfit to tackle incidents of kidnapping and banditry in the region.

However, Malami, declared the outifi , saying that matters of security resides exclusively with the federal government.

But speaking to journalists after paying a courtesy visit to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo in Abeokuta, Ogun state, on Wednesday, Makinde said he is yet to receive a formal notice on Malami’s statement.

Makinde explained that Amotekun exists only to complement the efforts of the police, not replace it.

He argued that the AGF can only advise the president on legal matters, not “just wake up and make his own laws”.

“You don’t run a government on social media. If I see a letter or receive a call from the Attorney-General of the Federation saying that Amotekun is illegal, it will be a different reaction. For now, I have been reading on social media just like you and I have not seen anything official to that effect,” Makinde said.

“Besides, I don’t think that in a country like Nigeria, the Attorney-General should just wake up and make his own law. He may interpret and advise the President about legal issues but I have not seen anything that gave his office the power to make such declaration.

“This outfit [Amotekun] is complementary to the effort of the Nigerian Police and other security agencies. In Oyo State, the government has four pillars; namely education, health, security and expansion of our economy through agribusiness. So, security is a major pillar for us and we believe we cannot have any development in an atmosphere that is not secure.

“If you look at investments, the money coming into an economy is like a coward; if such money sees anywhere that is not secure, it will fly. So, security is key and security agencies are doing their best but there is still a gap. Just like in most sectors of our body polity, we do have gaps; in education, health care delivery and the rest. We believe playing complementary roles will help to narrow those gaps.

“As you all know, it is a New Year and, traditionally, one should go out to greet elders to wish them a happy and rewarding year. So, I came here to greet Baba and wish him the best for this year 2020.”

The declaration of Amotekun as illegal has raised several reactions. At a press briefing in Lagos earlier on Wednesday, Wole Soyinka, Nobel laureate, had said:
“Amotekun has come to stay”.

Also, Ayo Adebanjo, a leader of Afenifere, argued that the AGF has no right to make such pronouncement, adding that the federal government ought to have gone to the court if it had anything against the outfit.

Foreign Affairs / The Iranian Missile Strike: An Initial Evaluation by scully95: 12:25pm On Jan 09, 2020
First, as always, a recap.

Turns out that the Iranian strikes were apparently very accurate, check out these photos:

http://ooduarere.com/news-from-nigeria/world-news/iranian-missile-strike/

[img]http://1.bp..com/--yXKbMhCnMw/XhcOKdjWckI/AAAAAAABW6I/rF7nTLUxIHs8fjiecpv2JSVOuHw-7hvBwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/iraq_iran_strike.png[/img]

This is interesting, because while I had some US ex-Colonel on idiot-box saying that most Iranian missiles either missed or landed in the desert. Rah! Rah! Rah! The US has THE BEST military in the GALAXY!! We kick these ragheads back to their medieval reality, bla-bla-bla.

The reality is that this has been a very effective “proof of concept demonstration”. Think like this: the Iranians have super-accurate coordinates for every single building in the Green Zone. What impact would you think a determined – non symbolic – missile strike on key US buildings in the Green Zone would have? How about US forces in Kuwait and/or Saudi Arabia.

Keep in mind that the kind of missiles Iran used is very much an older, less capable, generation. For example, as far as I know, these missiles have no final guidance capability (you may want to double/triple check this one). Other ones do (that I am sure of).

Furthermore, it is becoming apparent that Iran had no intention of hitting US personnel, at least not deliberately. So when the Idiot-in-Chief tweets “so far, so good” he is quite correct, but for all the wrong reasons.

I think of this first strike as a very serious WARNING SHOT which serves two purposes.

First, to show that the “54 targets in Iran” threat is an empty one: Iranians don’t care (for certain) and Pentagon planners probably don’t want it either (most likely). So besides hot air, the Idiot-in-Chief produced nothing.

Second, to show to those in the US who actually believe their own silly propaganda about the US having THE BEST military in the history of the Galaxy that in terms of missiles, Iran is doing just fine, thank you.

Now, in all fairness, I will ALWAYS welcome ANY gesture which can avoid a massive total war. There is no doubt in my mind that these events are marking the beginning of the end for the Empire. The only real question is at what costs to the rest of mankind? So while he is a narcissistic idiot for sure, and while he wrapped the key part of his statement in all sorts of delusional and dumb chest-thumping and flag waving, I have to admit that Trump did the right thing once again. Destroying 54 (or even a SINGLE one) Iranian target would have resulted in an Iranian strike on Israel (now we know for sure that it would be an accurate one too!) which would have triggered a massive regional war. We STILL are not there and while many will call me naive or stupid, I am grateful for ANYTHING which can delay or cancel any major (or even minor) war. And while I do think that Trump is a narcissistic idiot, I will ALWAYS recognize when he does something either right or even “less bad than what he could have done”.

I will also add this: I consider the US servicemen in Iraq (and the result of the world, for that matter) as guilty of voluntarily signing up to a military which has never and will never fight any just war. But that is not a sin deserving to be killed in a massive ball of fire, sorry. In combat, yes, US soldiers are a legitimate target, and legally speaking (from the point of view of the Geneva Conventions and the International Law of War), the targets Iran hit were 100% legitimate since international law does NOT ban collateral damage, it only bans INTENTIONAL collateral damage. US military personnel are, by definition, legal, legitimate, targets, but on a human level I feel sorry for them and I don’t wish them to pay for the crimes of their commanders (for whom I have ZERO sympathy or compassion).

I am actually quite happy that nobody died in these strikes.

If there were numerous casualties (as some sources report), then I have no problem admitting that this strike was both legal and ethical, but I would feel sad for every killed person (US or Iraqi).

Do the Shia Muslims care about the lives of their enemies? Yes! They actually do. Proof? Just see how Hezbollah treated those Lebanese people who were collaborators with the infamous Israel proxy called the “SLA” (South Lebanon Army) and you will see for yourself. Have their been Shia executed atrocities in the past? Sure! Starting in Iraq were various Shia militias committed plenty of horrible atrocities. But that happens to ANY party to a vicious conflict, and ESPECIALLY a civil war (just look at the butchery the Russian or US civil wars were!). But the fact is that Shia leaders often emphasize both mercy, compassion and justice (Hassan Nasrallah specifically said that Hezbollah would not target US civilians; contrast that with the Idiot-in-Chief).

So how do we “score” this one? Who won and who lost”

This all depends on your criteria.

Here are mine: anything which makes it easier for the US to remain in the Middle-East is a victory for the Empire and anything which makes it harder for the US to remain in the Middle-East is a victory for the rest of the planet.

I think that this criteria makes it rather easy to score this latest strike, don’t you?

One more thing: two more rocket strikes seemed to have landed near the Green Zone. From the (rather minimal) info I have, these were rockets from some kind of MRLS and they were fired by LOCAL Iraqi forces, NOT from Iran. This is both interesting and telling. Why?

Because you can expect a dramatic increase in these kind of “hit and run” mini attacks which can’t achieve a real tactical advantage, but which are devastating for morale and which hugely decrease the mobility and ability to operate of the targeted forces. Again, I invite you to re-apply my criteria above to evaluate the usefulness (or lack thereof) of these strikes.

Singing off for a few hours. Kind regards



PS: one more thing: the Idiot-in-Chief said that “Iran is standing down”.. Just remember that an other no less Idiot-in-Chief announced in 2006 that “Israel had defeated Hezbollah”. This is an old US trick called “declare victory and leave”. They have declared victory. Good. Now let’s see how long it will take them to get out of Iraq and the Syria and, much further down the road, from the entire Middle-East.

Foreign Affairs / Pentagon Chief Of Staff Resigns Amidst Growing Iran Tensions by scully95: 10:08pm On Jan 06, 2020
http://ooduarere.com/news-from-nigeria/world-news/pentagon-chief-of-staff-resigns/

Defense Secretary Mark Esper's right-hand man is leaving his post amid growing tensions with Iran. NBC News's Hallie Jackson reported Monday that Eric Chewning resigned as Pentagon chief of staff and will leave the Department of Defense at the end of the month. Chewning had served as chief of staff to both Esper and his predecessor, acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan.

Chewning joined the Pentagon from the private sector in October 2017 and was selected by Shanahan to serve as chief of staff last January. He continued in the post even when Esper took the job in July. He has an extensive work history in the private sector; he was working for Morgan Stanley before enlisting in the Army after 9/11, per DefenseNews, and was a partner at McKinsey & Company before signing up with the federal government in 2017.

In a statement to DefenseNews, Esper said Chewning would be returning to private work. "In an incredibly demanding job, Eric has been a source of calm and tireless work," Esper said. "We wish him all the best."

The timing of Chewning's departure will raise some eyebrows as it comes after a weekend that raised tensions in the Middle East to the highest they've been in years. President Trump's decision last week to order the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, Iran's top military leader and considered by some to be the second-most powerful man in that country, rejuvenated antipathy toward the U.S. in the region and led to Iran vowing retaliation.

Since the deadly strike, which took place early Friday morning local time in Iraq, there has been a series of repercussions. The Iraqi parliament voted to expel all foreign troops, a move that led Trump to threaten sanctions that will "make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame." Meanwhile, Iran has vowed "severe revenge" against the U.S., and as American troops abroad fortify their positions and brace for possible attacks, it has led to the suspension of anti-ISIS efforts from the American-led coalition in Iraq and Syria — a move experts worry could allow the terrorist group to regain its positions, especially if combined with a potential U.S. expulsion from Iraq.

Iran also announced it will no longer comply with the remaining limits on its nuclear power imposed by the 2015 nuclear deal, negotiated under President Barack Obama. Noted Iran hawk John Bolton, who left his position as national security adviser in the Trump administration last year, celebrated the announcement even as some experts worried about the likely loss of intelligence surrounding Iran's uranium enrichment progress.

Trump, for his part, has tweeted abundantly as the situation grows increasingly volatile, saying that the military has targeted 52 Iranian sites, including some that are important to "Iranian culture," for possible counterattacks. He also issued a bizarre declaration Sunday that his "media posts" would "serve as notification to the United States Congress" that should Iran attack the U.S., America "will quickly and fully strike back, and perhaps in a disproportionate manner."

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required.

University of Alabama law professor Joyce Alene noted that "reporting" around Chewning's departure "says he's ready to go back to private sector and not to read too much into this."

"But," she noted, "the timing is still quite interesting. I'd want out of that chain of command before an illegal order was given."

*TRUMP KILLS IRAN’S MOST OVERRATED WARRIOR*
..........
Suleimani pushed his country to build an empire, but drove it into the ground instead.
..........
By Thomas L. Friedman, Columnist, New York Times (January 03, 2020)
..........

One day they may name a street after President Trump in Tehran. Why? Because Trump just ordered the assassination of possibly the dumbest man in Iran and the most overrated strategist in the Middle East: Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani.
Think of the miscalculations this guy made. In 2015, the United States and the major European powers agreed to lift virtually all their sanctions on Iran, many dating back to 1979, in return for Iran halting its nuclear weapons program for a mere 15 years, but still maintaining the right to have a peaceful nuclear program. It was a great deal for Iran. Its economy grew by over 12 percent the next year. And what did Suleimani do with that windfall?

He and Iran’s supreme leader launched an aggressive regional imperial project that made Iran and its proxies the de facto controlling power in Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad and Sana. This freaked out U.S. allies in the Sunni Arab world and Israel — and they pressed the Trump administration to respond. Trump himself was eager to tear up any treaty forged by President Obama, so he exited the nuclear deal and imposed oil sanctions on Iran that have now shrunk the Iranian economy by almost 10 percent and sent unemployment over 16 percent.

All that for the pleasure of saying that Tehran can call the shots in Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad and Sana. What exactly was second prize?

With the Tehran regime severely deprived of funds, the ayatollahs had to raise gasoline prices at home, triggering massive domestic protests. That required a harsh crackdown by Iran’s clerics against their own people that left thousands jailed and killed, further weakening the legitimacy of the regime.
Then Mr. “Military Genius” Suleimani decided that, having propped up the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and helping to kill 500,000 Syrians in the process, he would overreach again and try to put direct pressure on Israel. He would do this by trying to transfer precision-guided rockets from Iran to Iranian proxy forces in Lebanon and Syria.

Alas, Suleimani discovered that fighting Israel — specifically, its combined air force, special forces, intelligence and cyber — is not like fighting the Nusra front or the Islamic State. The Israelis hit back hard, sending a whole bunch of Iranians home from Syria in caskets and hammering their proxies as far away as Western Iraq.
Indeed, Israeli intelligence had so penetrated Suleimani’s Quds Force and its proxies that Suleimani would land a plane with precision munitions in Syria at 5 p.m., and the Israeli air force would blow it up by 5:30 p.m. Suleimani’s men were like fish in a barrel. If Iran had a free press and a real parliament, he would have been fired for colossal mismanagement.

But it gets better, or actually worse, for Suleimani. Many of his obituaries say that he led the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq, in tacit alliance with America. Well, that’s true. But what they omit is that Suleimani’s, and Iran’s, overreaching in Iraq helped to produce the Islamic State in the first place.

It was Suleimani and his Quds Force pals who pushed Iraq’s Shiite prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, to push Sunnis out of the Iraqi government and army, stop paying salaries to Sunni soldiers, kill and arrest large numbers of peaceful Sunni protesters and generally turn Iraq into a Shiite-dominated sectarian state. The Islamic State was the counterreaction.

Finally, it was Suleimani’s project of making Iran the imperial power in the Middle East that turned Iran into the most hated power in the Middle East for many of the young, rising pro-democracy forces — both Sunnis and Shiites — in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.

As the Iranian-American scholar Ray Takeyh pointed out in a wise essay in Politico, in recent years “Soleimani began expanding Iran’s imperial frontiers. For the first time in its history, Iran became a true regional power, stretching its influence from the banks of the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. Soleimani understood that Persians would not be willing to die in distant battlefields for the sake of Arabs, so he focused on recruiting Arabs and Afghans as an auxiliary force. He often boasted that he could create a militia in little time and deploy it against Iran’s various enemies.”

It was precisely those Suleimani proxies — Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria, the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq, and the Houthis in Yemen — that created pro-Iranian Shiite states-within-states in all of these countries. And it was precisely these states-within-states that helped to prevent any of these countries from cohering, fostered massive corruption and kept these countries from developing infrastructure — schools, roads, electricity.
And therefore it was Suleimani and his proxies — his “kingmakers” in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq — who increasingly came to be seen, and hated, as imperial powers in the region, even more so than Trump’s America. This triggered popular, authentic, bottom-up democracy movements in Lebanon and Iraq that involved Sunnis and Shiites locking arms together to demand noncorrupt, nonsectarian democratic governance.

On Nov. 27, Iraqi Shiites — yes, Iraqi Shiites — burned down the Iranian consulate in Najaf, Iraq, removing the Iranian flag from the building and putting an Iraqi flag in its place. That was after Iraqi Shiites, in September 2018, set the Iranian consulate in Basra ablaze, shouting condemnations of Iran’s interference in Iraqi politics.
The whole “protest” against the United States Embassy compound in Baghdad last week was almost certainly a Suleimani-staged operation to make it look as if Iraqis wanted America out when in fact it was the other way around. The protesters were paid pro-Iranian militiamen. No one in Baghdad was fooled by this.

In a way, it’s what got Suleimani killed. He so wanted to cover his failures in Iraq he decided to start provoking the Americans there by shelling their forces, hoping they would overreact, kill Iraqis and turn them against the United States. Trump, rather than taking the bait, killed Suleimani instead.

I have no idea whether this was wise or what will be the long-term implications. But here are two things I do know about the Middle East.
First, often in the Middle East the opposite of “bad” is not “good.” The opposite of bad often turns out to be “disorder.” Just because you take out a really bad actor like Suleimani doesn’t mean a good actor, or a good change in policy, comes in his wake. Suleimani is part of a system called the Islamic Revolution in Iran. That revolution has managed to use oil money and violence to stay in power since 1979 — and that is Iran’s tragedy, a tragedy that the death of one Iranian general will not change.
Today’s Iran is the heir to a great civilization and the home of an enormously talented people and significant culture. Wherever Iranians go in the world today, they thrive as scientists, doctors, artists, writers and filmmakers — except in the Islamic Republic of Iran, whose most famous exports are suicide bombing, cyberterrorism and proxy militia leaders. The very fact that Suleimani was probably the most famous Iranian in the region speaks to the utter emptiness of this regime, and how it has wasted the lives of two generations of Iranians by looking for dignity in all the wrong places and in all the wrong ways.

The other thing I know is that in the Middle East all important politics happens the morning after the morning after.
Yes, in the coming days there will be noisy protests in Iran, the burning of American flags and much crying for the “martyr.” The morning after the morning after? There will be a thousand quiet conversations inside Iran that won’t get reported. They will be about the travesty that is their own government and how it has squandered so much of Iran’s wealth and talent on an imperial project that has made Iran hated in the Middle East.
And yes, the morning after, America’s Sunni Arab allies will quietly celebrate Suleimani’s death, but we must never forget that it is the dysfunction of many of the Sunni Arab regimes — their lack of freedom, modern education and women’s empowerment — that made them so weak that Iran was able to take them over from the inside with its proxies.
I write these lines while flying over New Zealand, where the smoke from forest fires 2,500 miles away over eastern Australia can be seen and felt. Mother Nature doesn’t know Suleimani’s name, but everyone in the Arab world is going to know her name. Because the Middle East, particularly Iran, is becoming an environmental disaster area — running out of water, with rising desertification and overpopulation. If governments there don’t stop fighting and come together to build resilience against climate change — rather than celebrating self-promoting military frauds who conquer failed states and make them fail even more — they’re all doomed.

It's nonesense like this that is making the Anglozionist wannabe followers see th reality but still double down.

Just one sense to counter all the nonesense written above.

When that Mushroom brain John Mccain died of too much Mushroom in his brain, watch the video bellow and tell me how many people came out in their thousands like the video bellow ?

Watch the video above again.

Turns out the General's death is equal to that of any most popular whatever the Anglozionist empire has got 20 times if not more.

For this reason, no need to read all the nonesense you have written above.
