Foreign Affairs / Re: UN General Assembly Rebukes US Embargo On Cuba by Slimpotter(m): 6:21am On Nov 06, 2022
BabaCommander:
I don't know much about this case, but why nationalized the businesses of US citizens?

For successive US government over the years to continue the blocked, Cuba must have wronged many average Americans.

Cuba should take the first step towards settlement by paying compensation for the businesses she nationalized.

Assets that belongs to the people that was given freely by the fascist dictator Bautista?
They nationalized the wealth that was stolen and given to Americans to extract resources and leave the people of Cuba continually impoverished. Sanctions are never good because it's the people who suffer it. Sanctions are immoral and that's what the US is doing.

Is Xi the general secretary? Is Xi not the focus of this conversation? You drink weed?

You're just saying rubbish.
The General Secretary is not always the president.
Deng Xiaoping was the Chairman of the Central Military Commission and not the General Secretary and the president during his time, yet he was the most powerful leader in China, when Jiang Zemin left the position of the General Secretary, he still held on as the Chairman of the CMC.
You're just hurling insults instead of you to calm down and learn.

Slimpotter:


Have you read the Chinese constitution?
I am telling you that the one that was amended was for the presidency not for party General Secretary, I guess it's hard to know the difference. I wonder why you have to use buhari to make your point. Countries are different and they both practice different styles of government, your western centric view of politics isn't status quo everywhere..

This is an ignorant thing to say. There are no term limits for the position of the General Secretary but for that of the president. They're both two different posts.
The party voted him in, you're not a member of the party, what makes you think you have a better understanding than them?

How is Hong Kong an English speaking area while the other parts of China are not? I remember my dad used to go there on business trips back in the 80s. Igbo business men back in the 80s go to Hong Kong unlike now China has taken over and became the hub for business
Because hongkong became a colony of Britain after they stole it from China.

And the only way they can increase funding is to raise school fess. But ASUU, SSANU, NASU and government won't dare say that out loud. Too too unpopular.

Stalin of Russia responsible for 9 million deaths.

Adolf Hitler with the Holocaust...

Uncountable wars because of land, but religion is the biggest cause of death?

The deaths attributed to Stalin and Mao were caused by famines. Any other statement is historical revisionism.

We are humans and we are bound to make mistakes. The few US military assigned to the task was under tension at that stage because the killer beast were surplus and mixed with civilians that's probably why the target wasn't accurate.
At least US fought for good reasons.

You calling this a mistake shows you're ignorant of the US military war crimes.
This is one of too many times they've attacked civilians.

LordVoldermort:
Your diverting from topic, the claim is US hasn't won any war US hasn't won wars recently because they tried their best not to kill civilians whereas their enemies didn't have that problem, one guy above is claiming Russia won world war 2, how many German civilians and non combatants were killed he didn't say all he knows is Russia won, America defeated Japan how they did it isn't relevant, the end always justifies the means

The US hasn't won any war besides the ones they were most certainly bullying as in the Hawaiian war and the bourgeoisie revolutionary war against Britain.
And your point about trying to avoid civilian casualties as loosing the war is laughable when the majority of the civilian deaths in Afghanistan were caused by the US. Furthermore the war in Vietnam was fought with everything from bombers to chemical weapons yet they couldn't defeat rice farmers in Vietnam. The US is just a noisy war monger.
The Soviets were already making advances towards the Japanese front when the US dropped those two bombs when they were about to surrender.

Show us your sources

The Japanese has some of the weirdest and deadly attack in warfare, the Kamikaze attacks and the Banzai charges

Don't underestimate the Japanese strength in WW2, their efforts were staggering like the Germans.

So you expect them to keep on having such military capabilities when it's clear they were on the losing side of the war.

All war is inhumane Japanese civilians were firmly in support of Japan and Japanese military were using civilians as shields
So that justifies killing non combatants?
Do you know what that war did to those cities years later?
The Taliban for instance had overwhelming support from the Afghani people, does that justify US airstrike killing non combatants too?

Japanese afraid of the Russian army. Is this a joke??

The Japanese have defeated the Russians before, the reason for bombing pearl harbor is because of strategic reasons, they wanted to cripple the US navy before going on war campaign, because they were no match for the US navy.

Nairaland sef grin

It is public info that the Japanese were scared of the Soviet Red Army.
Even Mandela have made public references to this.

Mr Man, talk about what you know please.

The USA supported the Russian military with finance and military equipment. If not for the USA intervention, Germany would have conquered the USSR.

Did you even know it was the USA that kept the Japanese busy in the Pacific? Japan would have also attack Russia if not for the USA. Do you think Russia would have been able to fight this great powers at once?

Japan was scared of the approaching Red Army and to take the victory the US bombed a Japan that was potentially defeated.

The Allies had agreed early in 1944 that Germany was to be divided into Zones of Occupation after the war was over. Berlin was deep inside the already agreed Soviet Union Zone of Occupation - even if US (or British and Commonwealth) troops had been able to reach and capture Berlin before the Russians,they would have had to withdraw soon after,so as to let the Russians take over fully their agreed Zone of Occupation in Germany postwar. Some British and US forces were deep inside the Soviet Union Zone of Occupation when the war ended,and withdrew in July 1945.This is what would have happened to any non Soviet forces in Berlin,if they had got there. So,there was nothing to be gained for the US in capturing Berlin before the Russians in 1945,so they didn't bother trying.

The U.S. mobilized about the same number of troops as Russia but fought on more major front lines — not only in Europe but also in the Pacific and North Africa. American war production — its ability to churn out astounding numbers of bombers, tanks and warships — was possibly the key war-winning factor, say some historians, who point out American factories produced more airplanes than all of the other major war powers combined.

And without U.S. supplies, the Soviet war effort would have been massively diminished. America supplied Stalin with 400,000 trucks, 2,000 locomotives, more than 10,000 rail rolling stock and billions of dollars' worth of warplanes, tanks, food and clothing. At the same time, the U.S. also supplied nearly a quarter of Britain’s munitions.

We were lucky to have America as an ally,” Russian historian Anatoly Razumov told VOA recently. He said American technology and supplies formed the base of Russia’s war effort. “And we want to close our eyes to that. It’s shameful! Sometimes I talk to ordinary people who don’t want to understand. We were together during the war. How would it be if we hadn’t had this help? It was not a victory of just one country over Hitler. It was a victory of the whole world over him

Presently there are US military bases in Germany. Russia has no military base in Germany after fall of Berlin Wall. Russia has 10 bases mostly in Eastern Europe and Asia with about 50k personnel's while us has about 40 bases in all continents with about 130000 personnel's.

You must know reasons for warfare. It is not necessary about winning. Plundering, testing of new weapons, oppression etc. Napoleon, Alexander the Great, great Roman empire lost major wars. Roman empire collapse not by wars but due to overwhelming influence of Religion on the empire.

This revisionism is an insult to the 20 million Soviet lives that were lost during the war.
What do you mean by major front lines?
When the Nazi military offensive was majorly concentrated on Russian soil.
The Battle of Stalingrad was the defining point in the war, any other tale is revisionism.

You're smart enough to understand that division will badly affect the minority groups. Dividing the country will place the minority groups under further oppression which is unadvisable.

Jones4190:
Analogy of OPPRESSOR & FOOLISH CITIZENS. (A case study of Nigeria citizens & their elected oppressors). During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, Stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one. The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but Stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. Stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & hapless creature. The poor chicken in pain started eating and Stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet. Joseph Stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people". "You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them". "If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you". "They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place." Breath taking, isn't it ? Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media. Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments. Did you see the numbers of people that throng to Saraki's House during this Sallah period to go collect peanuts? People trooping to Bola Ahmed Tinubu Foundation offices to collect branded One kilo bag of Rice & Noddles. Did you see the number of people of all ages who troop out to welcome Ex- convict James Ibori to South South! Your guess is as good as mine. Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! Pass to all your contacts & let your Political & Religion Leaders read, understand & digest.

If you believe Stalin did any of this, then you can as well believe buhari is the best president ever.
