Foreign Affairs / Re: Russia Tests Hypersonic and Ballistic Missiles In Major Nuclear Drills (Pix,vid) by smeag0l(m): 11:27pm On Feb 19, 2022
What is the use of using 10000 nukes when you know that none of them can strike your enemy while all your enemy needs to do is to go to your neighbour's house and fire just one nuke? It'snot about the number of nukes. It'sabout potency. Russia has slightly more number of nukes than US but US has more devastating nukes than Russia.
nedekid:

Russia will attack Ukraine and us will do nothing.
The US can never fight a shooting war with Russia. Why? Russian cannot equal conventional warfare with the US and its "parapo" nato countries, but alas Russia has the largest nukes in the world followed by the US.
Russia is the only country in the world that can attack and turn the continental US to ash.
Do you know what it means for the US and Russia to fight? Escalation will mean the end of the world as we know it.

Exactly. This is the most valid point ive read on this thread today. In the world of today, every country that has a nuclear weapon needs to be feared(including Iran and North Korea). However, theres something called 'first strike advantage' in war and the US has this edge over both Russia and China. They can strike both countries from very close range causing them devastating aftermaths but China and Russia cant do the same.
MT:


The US has bases close to Taiwan and a deployment can happen quickly. The B2 Bomber has been situated in one of the bases. China can only bark they cant bite. Even the contested South China sea which China has unilaterally claimed, the US passes with her armada and nothing happens.

You dont respect the US but these countries - China and Russia - know the devastating power of the US.

You guys need to understand some facts here. The US wont risk a way with North korea. Not because north korea can inflict any harm on them(they dont even have a functional intercontinentalballostic missile so i wonder how they want to attach the US) but because of the collateral damage on their alloes close to North korea e.g south korea, hong kong etc. The west and their leaders, although cunning, aee still very much more humane than their eastern counterparts

This is the real weapon theyll use in defeating Russia. The US knows that Russia is too far away to launch any missiles that will penetrate their missile defence systems(except for Alaska). So they may not need to use weapons. Economic sanctions are enough
MT:


They will weaken Russia's economy, in coordination with their EU allies, internally with sanctions. Amidst other sanctions, they will yank them off from SWIFT system. Russia economy will tank. There will be serious uproar in Russia against their Govt for fighting needless war. Some part of Russia might threaten to secede.

And UK, France ,Germany,Norway Israel , Japan, and India will sit down, fold their arms and watch Russia and China form an alliance without forging theirs with US? Let's just pray a war shouldn't happen. Putin knows he won't win and he doesn't plan to do that. He just wants to inflict maximum wreckage on his enemies. On the other hand, US will be the least affected. However, same cannot be said of their western allies.

On the contrary, US is actually praying that Russia shouldn't attack Ukraine.

Well, i dont hate them because of western propaganda. I hate them because of the economic systems they practice. They practice a socialist/communist system. However, the leaders of those countries are closet capitalists. And they dont even practice what they profess in its entirety. A socialist system of givernment requires that the government controls everything, citizens are not allowed to set prices etc. It also requires provision to be made for social amenities by the government and for the citizens all for free or at a very subsidized rate. This is not what is happening in those two countries.

Just like Russia took advantage of Cuba that’s how the USA is taking advantage of countries closer to Russia who are not in good terms with Russia.
So what’s the difference? Every country is fighting for her interest the only thing I cannot allow is to allow western Media think for me. You can’t make me dislike a country because you despise them .
So many people hate Russia and China because western Media propaganda. I was in that position before but now I’m free to think for myself. You should be at the liberty to do the without any bias they should be balance of power.

Okay, since you keep mentioning Cuba maybe i should explain to you what happened in Cuba in 1962. US forces were occupying Turkey, Italy and West Germany from the end of the second world war up till 1962 so as to prevent an attack by Russia on their allies. This attack could either be orchestrated from Poland, East Germany or even from Russia. Russian president at the time, now felt the US occupying Turkey or Italy was too close to them and would give the US a "first strike" advantage in the event of a war. So they decided to also look for a way to occupy a territory very close to the US. At that time, they knew the US had a conflict with Cuba because the president turned against them after helping him win elections so they decided to use Cuba. They started bringing in missiles to cuba by flight and sea. Ehen the US realized this, the had to call Russia to take off all those weapons and Russia now brought a bargain of US also pulling out of Turkey and Italy(west Germany was not included in this deal because Russia also occupied east germany) . That was how that issue was solved. Russia instigated the Cuban crisis. This almost led to a third world war because Russian ships almost shot at a US surveillance airplane hovering around Cuba to gather intelligence on what was happening.
anonymous1759:



But when America did the same thing to CUBA they didn’t think Cuba is a sovereign nation or has a right to make military alliance’s with ever country she wishes to.
America will any day any time invade Cuba , Mexico or any country around them if they make military alliances with Russia or China . Knowing fully well that a base of one of these countries I made mention of will have a military intelligence there.

A threat to America is a world threat but a threat to Russia and China is not . That’s purely double standard. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Foreign Affairs / Re: US, allies ask citizens to leave Ukraine at once, amid a possible Russia attack by smeag0l(m): 7:59am On Feb 16, 2022
Sanctions are not meant for a country to go extinct. Theyre deterrent measures. Nigeria was once sanctioned under Abacha's regime. The main reason for the sanctions is so that Russia wont be able to fund a war. Iran tests nuclear weapons in the atlantic.
US cant come and occupy their country or fight them so as to stop their activities. Thats the difference between US , Russia and China. Russia and China are still living in the 19th century where you can "conquer" or annex a country as yours. US and the entire west is now making it known to them that the world has gone beyond this mentality and that these countries are sovereign states of their own and shouldnt be breached or dictated to just because theyre close to Russia or China.
anonymous1759:



Like I said when it comes to that level they’ll definitely find a way . Iran , Syria , North Korea, Russia , Venezuela, Cuba all been living in sanctions but they’re surviving.

Who thought Iran will be able to continue are Nuclear programs ? But the western Media will make it seem like when you’re sanctioned you can’t cope in life . That’s the real propaganda to spread fear to nations so they’ll bow to them. It’s more like mind Game.

If country like Iran can survive with sanctions for over 20 I bet Russia won’t be a problem .

Like I told you earlier , this is an industry i work in and ive been opportunrd to visit one or two gas plants in some of these coubtries i mentioned. And like i told you earlier, Russia cutting off gas supply from europe may have slight implications but this can be managed. Germany, Norway, England, Netherland and France are all oil and gas producing countries, it'sjust that for Germany , the gas they produce wont be enough to seeve both domestic and industrial use. This is mainly due to population and ehixh is why they import from Russia. Same with Italy. However, they can always explore an LNG option and it is in discussions currently. I dont care whoever Russia goes to supply their gas to. The main thing is that if sanctions are imposed on them theyll find it hard to sell their gas. Not because china wont buy, but because china wont have a medium to pay them. US,UN and NATO will go as far as removing Russian banks and their routing numbers from international bank transactions. Except the chinese will pay them in chinese yen. Because, for all i know, almost all of the world's oil and gas transactions is done in USD.
anonymous1759:



You try by all means to shift Goal post . It’s sad you can’t be redeemed any longer . From your assertion you created alternative other European countries to get Gas . Just like their likes have alternatives , Russia has China too to patronize her natural gas .

Russia has been supplying Crude oil to Venezuela and Syria for some time . Don’t make it sound like they’re isolated. Just like the western Media make it look.

And I noticed you forgot to talk about the Area where NATO also show her military strength via NATO drills sometimes they cross to Russian and China boarders. And gets chased.
it that not aggression ? But since the Media you rely on don’t put it that way you’ll never see it but talk about Russia and China . It’s high time you start thinking for yourself.

Russia supplies gas to the entire Europe? Wow, they must have started doing this overnight. Bros, you dont tell me about an industry i work right in. Russia's gas supplies ends in eastern europe.Russia supplies just 35% of the total amount of gas used in Europe and even though they supply Germany,Holland and some other central European countries , cutting off supplies don't mean anything. Netherlands, Scotland , Norway, England ,Germany, Spain and France all produce natural gas that can serve western europe and in the event that it isnt enough to go round, theyll import LNG from the likes of Nigeria , US and Australia. I even forgot to mention Qatar ,Saudi and UAE that are just close by.Like I said earlier, go study. If you havent then dont come online to start saying things you dont know or things you dont even know how they started or how they are structured

By the way, just so you know. US doesnt need to fight Russia for Russia to be defeated in a war with NATO. NATO states of England, Germany and France are enough. These states develop waepons just like Russia, have anti-ballistic missile systems and other weaponry but you wont see them celebrating war technology like Russia and North Korea do. Theyll collaborate to fight Russia effectively while US stiffle them economically by making Japan and Switzerland refuse them access to their foreign reserves. Let's see how theyll fight a war withiut funding. You need to take a short course in international policy, macroeconomics, war and diplomacy. Youll understand why US is and will continue to be the world'sstrongest superpower.

Bros, Ukraine is already in NATO and not even Russia can stop it. The era of when large countries can exert a sphere of influence over small ones is gone. I dont know whether it is Nigerian TV channels or papers you get your facts from. Putin is asking them to prevent Ukraine from NATO and theyre not agreeing to that.Stoltenberg, the NATO chief has already told Putin clearly towards Q4 2021 that they don't decide whether Ukraine will join NATO or not. Ukranian constitution has been amended for them to become a NATO member state. Everything is already set, waiting for Ukrainian president to accept their membership. What Putin is afraid of is that he doesn't want western allies to set up missile bases in Ukraine because it eill take just 5-10 minutes of launching a missile from there for it to land in Russia. Stop watching Nigerian news and if you cant afford to travel outside the country then ,at least, get a job so you can afford cable TV.

So you have seen how it played out. Putin has finally said he doesnt want to go to war after he saw that the US and NATO were not joking when they also moved their own troops intp Romania and moldova in response to his troops advancing towards Ukraine. Why didnt he go to war if he were that powerful? Just two days ago he mentioned that hes counting on China for support and they also agreed. All to see whethr the west would bulge. The truth you guys dont know is that the US is more powerful than both Russia and China and will continue to be. The facts i stated in my first post on this thread already makes that clear. You all believe these countries are powerful because they develop one weapon and come to the media to cry out how theyve tested it and how powerful it is. The US runs these kind of programs in San Antonio and Hawaii and you wont hear a word of it.

You know nothing then . Sorry we can’t argue . Like I said you’ve been brainwashed down to the core.
Why did America fought CUBA ? Is Cuba not an independent country? Does Cuba don’t have the right to have military ties with whom ever she pleases?

Your reply has confirmed your ignorance I was Doubting .
Cuba having military alliance with Russia puts America at risk. Because Russia will use that excuse to install their military base there to spite America.

Same thing with Hongkong being totally free puts China in Danger because If that happens America Will definitely have a military base there all In the name of protecting Hong Kong from military invasion from China .

Ukraine having military pact with the west Gives them the leverage to install a military base in Ukraine which puts Russia in grave danger from her adversaries.

America has made military alliances with countries close to their adversaries in the name of NATO .
surrounding Iran , Russia and China.
Whenever America is having a joint military exercise the MEDIA tag it as a show of strength. If Russia and China is doing the same thing the western Media will tag it as a threat to World peace.

Exactly. The US will not go to war because of the devastating implications on the countries that will be affected(not the US itself). Just also to correct one point, no country has more nukes than the US. Let someone who lives in San antonio, Texas explain this to you. That someone isnt coming out to make noise about one extra nuclear warhead that he built doesnt mean he doesnt have hundreds or thousands of them. Theyve been building up silently. Just because of lunatics like those that control Russia , china and North Korea
Rugaria:


I don't know why you Nigerians like arguing blindly over this America vs Russia thing. It's crazy, bro... This is not about who fights better or who has better army. The point is that at the state the Americans and the Russians and the Chinese are, frontal confrontations is a no no, because it will destroy everyone involved. The west might have more nuclear warheads than Russia but Russia has more nukes than the US. In any event, how many warheads do you need to wipe off a whole continent? Each party here has more than double, the required number! So? They won't fight! Unless they want to risk cancelling out each other. The US knows this , likewise Russia.

But the US might use Ukraine to bog down Russia and drain her economically through war expenses..., exactly the same thing they did to The Soviets in Afghanistan. They can only do so through proxies. They might be effective with such a plan, but it will demand a grand level of coordination, even more than the type that helped The Taliban topple the Soviet supported government in Kabul. Russia and The West won't fight frontally over Ukraine. What's in Ukraine to force such an apocalyptic fight? Do you understands what will happen in 24 hours, if it degenerates to a nuclear fisticuffs?

Exactly. And this is because Ukraine ,until recently, has not been a member state of NATO. It'sjust because of Russia's annexation of Crimea that made them join NATO. Although, the US is going to get directly involved in this war, in my opinion. Theyve been looking for ways to engage countries like Russia and China for some time now. This is the perfect opportunity. US has already entered troops to neighbouring countries to Ukraine like Moldova and Romania. NATO troops have also arrived there since last week. Biden has already told Putin to embrace dialogue or that they'll respond decisively in the event of any attack on Ukraine. Russia is overstepping their bounds in this and they'll not come out of it unscathed.
wirinet:


Putin will invade Ukraine, unless by some miracle, Biden decides to give Putin assurances (in writing) that Ukraine will not be allowed to join NATO.
Putin fears NATO base at his southern border than the economic effects of a war.

The US and the West cannot directly get involved in a Russian-Ukraine war. No American wouod support sending boots into Ukraine. The best they can do is protect other NATO allies and support the Ukrainian military with materials and logistics.
Foreign Affairs / Re: US, allies ask citizens to leave Ukraine at once, amid a possible Russia attack by smeag0l(m): 8:14am On Feb 13, 2022
War is not the way you are thinking it is. Russia, North Korea and China even if they form an alliance all know that the US will defeat them. There are stats that point to this fact. The first is that all these countries have no allies close to the US except cuba. And theres no eay thry can get to cuba to set up weaponry to fight the US without passing through coubtries that are US and NATO allies so it is technically impossible to fight US from close range. Fighting them from afar using long rsnge missles is also loke wasting weaponry as US has some of the most up-to-date missle deflection systems. On the contrary, US can set up for war very close to all these countries as possible because they have allies all surrounding them.Secondly, the US spends the highest amount of money on defence than any other country in the world. Thirdly, amongst all these countries, Only China has more number of people in the military than US. Besides, the US only needs the total number of soldiers from just 2 or 3 other NATO allies to neutralize the ones a combination of Russia , China, North Korea, Cuba and Iran has. They onky need India , Egypt and France. Now, the rest of the soldiers from NATO are available to easily neutralize them. Then lastly, and the most important point, the US can defeat all these countries by starving them of funding. Ask me how?All of the world'sreserve currencies are either in USD,japanese YEN, Swiss francs or Euro. All the nations that use these currencies are NATO allies. It just takes a sanction to freeze reserve funds of any country going to war with NATO and then watch them run out of funds and then stop the war themselves or get vanquished. This , amongst others, is what you should think of whenever you hear sanctions. Please go study international politics, macroeconomics and diplomacy before you come type anything online. You guys just wake up and think that because a country is testing nuclear weapons and making noise about it that it means they can fight the US. Russia should go to fight Ukraine if they can and see where it will end them as a country!

Dude, you're the ignorant one here... Do you know how strong Russia is??. You definately don't want to see a Russia/China/North Korea alliance exchanging nuclear warheads with US/EU/NATO forces.

The first verse talks about a situation where the children of Israel were at war. They were doubting whether they'll win the way because they've been disobedient to the word of God(concerning their sojourn to the promised land and the wars with the heathen)even when it came directly from the prophets. That was why the prophet made that declaration. It doesn't apply to having divergent opinions with your pastor.

You are discussing with adults not children. Tell me a regulated broker that is RISK FREE!
All forex brokers carry a Disclaimer that you RISK LOOSING ALL YOUR FUNDS.

Tell me another story please.

No government is there to protect you. Ip Capital is not regulated by any forex regulatory body in US and Canada. Which means if they close shop and runaway with your money you're on your own.
Ayodeb:
Government are there to protect people. Canadian, American and Australian Governments are not corrupt like many in Africa. All the legal documents and licenses obtained by IPC are in public domain and none of these issuers countries have raised any objections against IPC for operating outside what they are permitted to do! I just hope it is not that our FXMangers are loosing clients to IPC in their thousands and they are fighting back!!!

Let us keep this discussion open and robust. It will help others to make an informed decision.

I also remember too that all Forex Trading platforms carry same Disclaimer of RISK with possibility of loosing all your fund.

Then what? From experience I am also aware that any opportunity that employ the concept of network marketing is frown at. But this concept is been studied in some universities now. It cannot be wished away so easily.

I use IP capital but I can tell you that what he said is true
There's no bot anywhere and what they post on mt4 are fake trades. I also read your post where you said they're regulated in US, Canada and Australia but the truth is that they're not regulated in any of these countries. At least, not by a forex regulatory body. If you want to know that the trades are fake, keep your focus on your mt4 for the entire duration at the time they trade but you'll never see any live trades. You'll only see trades in profit in your trading history. And usually, when you trade with bots, you'll always see the bot name or trade ID. You'll never see that in your trading history with IPcapital. Besides, they pay you 10% of the capital of the person you're bringing in. We all know this model isn't sustainable and when they start getting less snd less new people, the bubble will burst. There are several other things I can tell you about IPcapital but let me just stop here.
Ayodeb:


Why did you jump to that conclusion?
Bring your proof online for discussion! I don't address emotion and sentiment. Let us know why you reached that conclusion!

First of all, being a money services business is different from being a forex broker. FINTRAC only ensures anti-money laundering laws are not violated by organisations registered with them. They do not provide any protection for you if IPC runs away with your money.
Then the answer to the response you provided in number 2, a company has to be registered as a forex brokerage to provide the kind of service IPC is providing. And this has nothing to do with whether a trader is placing the trades themselves or if a bot is placing the trades as you have mentioned. To the third point, only inexperienced traders will say they have verified the trades and they're real. For trades that have an average trade holding time of 10 minutes , you should be able to see the trades. I have sat down and watched to see the live trades and couldn't see anything. And ,for your information, there are companies like this that post fake trades on mt4.
To your fourth point, the aggressive manner in which the multilevel marketing is driven shows there is a hidden agenda. What I'll advice you to do is take out your initial capital and let the profit run.
To your last point, disclosing your liquidity provider had nothing to do with trade secrets. It is simply disclosing the bank or financial institution these monies are coming from so people can do their due diligence.
As an experienced forex trader of so many years, my advice to you once again will be to exercise caution with your investment in them. I've witnessed schemes like this before. I'm working with a European company presently to provide a bot that can work with any broker so that people can be free from these kind of schemes and from people asking them to bring their monies for investment. Sadly, I won't be putting the project here on nairaland. Mods bannes me last week for advising people on how not to get scammed. I guess scam is now being promoted on nairaland by the mods. Lastly, you can't even ask me to use your link to join IPC because I knew about it before you and I joined long ago and have made and pulled out my capital.
Omoedeki:


I’ll try to respond to a few of your questions though I have been with them for just last week.

1. The are regulated by FINTRAC as an MSB (Money Service Business) and their services clearly states Foreign exchange and Virtual currency dealings. They are also regulated in US as an MSB. This is because they are not actually a broker, maybe in future if they open account for customers such that they can place trades independently then we can question them for brokerage licenses but for now customers don’t place trace hence cannot be termed as brokers.

2. They don’t provide brokerage services because customers don’t place their trades independently. The AI bot in their central server does the trades centrally.

3. You cannot be sure that the trades are not live trades unless you sit at your computer waiting daily for the trades. This is a waste of my precious time. Some folks have dragged the trades on to their mt4 platforms to verify if the prices were real and has been confirmed.

4. I think the multi level marketing is just to encourage adoption. The company makes money from sales of BOT and it is fair to share that with me if I introduce someone to them because the bot don’t actually cost them anything to give out free if they want. The company also take out 20% from weekly profit which is shared to referrals too. I have been in forex for long and knows that a good forex trader can make lots of money.

5. Would you disclose your trade secrets to others especially as competitors are everywhere. If you look at their trades the bot is just scalping so tight spreads is very very important. I believe based on the volume of the trades they place liquidity provider can actually give them very good spread which retail traders will never get hence before a retail trader will go green the bot has already achieved it’s take profit.


In conclusion, care must be taken. Invest what you can loose, don’t overexpose yourself. I know how much I lost personally to forex in 2019/2020 that I vowed never to touch it but after someone who I respected a lot in forex trading introduced it to me I had to give it a thought and I have since increased my capital.
I’ll encourage anyone to give it a try. Take advantage of the 50% discount being offered. You only need 150 USD to start. If after one month you still doubt then you can pull out your capital but from indication you can recoup your capital in 2 months then let the profit ride in that case you have successfully reduced your risk exposure.

You can always shoot me an email using the email on my profile. If you want to join my network you can also use the link on my signature. I am on ground here in Canada �� so I can go to their office or call FINTRAC if need be but I doubt I if it’s necessary. If you do anyhow for Canada you see anyhow so no body will want to risk going to jail �

So I'm cancelling this job request and posting it on upwork as I couldn't get anyone here to do it. The only person I got was requesting for an upfront payment and I can't pay money directly to him.

So I finally found someone here who can take up my offer. Although, his charge is more than what I could get on fiverr and upwork and his delivery schedule is longer, he is a Nigerian and I've decided to bless a Nigerian this period. Dominique, please can you help me act as escrow? I promised not to send monies upfront directly to people I meet here until our transaction is complete. I've agreed to pay half of the agreed sum to a nairaland mod pending when the job is completed and I'll pay the programmer the balance.
