obedience4: I apologize for the abrupt interjection, we as Africans have no one to blame for our shortcomings but ourselves. We can try to debate this all year long but at some point we'll have to agree we have no one else to blame but ourselves. However, I'm of the opinion that you trying to downplay the word "colonialism" is one of the greatest disservice to our great continent. If the good people of Jewish decent can still talk about their ordeal or simply put " the Holocaust", I see no reason to downplay or whitewash the hardship our forebears went through. Furthermore, to my bemusement, this subject matter was one way or the other absent in our school curriculums. To the best of my knowledge, it was barely spoken of or taught, I fear the coming generations would know nothing about these heinous act or the gravity of the subject ( that would explain your notion). In conclusion, I urge you to retract your last paragraph, as it contains elements of revisionism. The British conquest in Nigeria and Africa as whole was despicable, the Jewish people didn't forget about the Holocaust, we as Africans need not forget. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

lanre316: You're very on point. The US accused China of overcapacity, which is true, this fuckers are not only flooding the market with goods more than the market demand whereby crashing the price of commodities, the Chinese are also subsiding crucial sectors of their manufacturing industries making it difficult for Europe to compete, that's why Macron keeps saying Europe needs to fight for it's interests. Imagine doing the same thing militarily, that would be Overkill. 4 Likes |

Tiopii: In what way has Syria, all the way from middle east ever been a threat to the almighty United States? Pls enlighten me. Also kindly state in what way the interest of the great United States got intertwined with Syria ? Bear in mind that the distance between both countries are 6,700 miles appro. Thanks 4 Likes |

WriterrNg: I doubt the Russians will ever do that. The relationship between Russia and Israel is really complicated, Take Syria as a case study, the Russians could have supplied air defense to protect all of Syria but yet they decided against it, giving the Israelis free reign over Syria. I understand it could have been worse for Assad if not for the Russians and Iranians. However, invading Iran was nearly impossible 2 decades ago, why would it be easy now? I believe the Iranian response was more of a message than revenge. It was just a show of force and they were within their rights to retaliate. In addition, we all know the IDF and mossads are not what they use to be or perhaps they never were as strong as we all perceive. The whole Gaza thing with the hostages shouldn't take this long according to Hollywood ๐๐๐ Seriously, Hamas are no longer getting weapons from outside, the whole gaze strip is under the Israelis control and yet they've got military aid from the US like twice or thrice if I'm correct, come on In fewer terse, Russia will not stick it's neck out for Iran to attack Israel, I'm pretty sure it's not gonna happen, I think the main weapon they've is not nuclear weapons, Iran has the capacity to cripple the whole middle east, mine the straight of Hormuz, send the price of oil to the sky and every part of the earth would feel the affect effect. But it's geopolitics, never say never. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Appleyard: You've made a very interesting point, the UN does not represent the current geopolitical landscape. Nations are supposed to be equal, while give more power to certain five Nations ( UN security council ). If the UN is to be restructured the veto power needs to be jettisoned, what's the point of voting on a motion if a fee minorities could veto the whole process. Secondly, i think the African continent is more divided compared to the Asians. Imagine having 54 countries and no sit in the UN security council. 3 Likes |

FoolishBoy419: This is really bad, at least he could have paraphrased it instead of copying it word for word. Such hypocrisy, I read where he accused someone of plagiarism. You've been caught red handed, just admit to your crime and move on. Say to no to stealing other people's intellectual property. At least give credit to who made the comment.

Jovi10: I just admitted I was wrong, I've no political inclination towards any factions ( east or west ). I'm just here to air my opinion (s) and learn new things, my loyalty remains undoubtedly and unwaveringly to the federal republic of Nigeria and Africa as a continent ( the former sounds more like a joke but it true ๐). Strictly Pan-Africanist. There are only two genders, so I don't understand the term transgendered, it's either you're a male or female, the rest of it is just confusion. 3 Likes 1 Share |

FoolishBoy419: You're right and I was wrong, i apologize for the misinformation, after doing some research I realized my knowledge about this was limited or basic at most, chips size is just a contributing factor to the cross section not what determines if a jet is stealth. 11 Likes |

Watcharena: I think chips that are smaller goes a long way in radar detection of most jets. The radar cross section in F22 is around 0.0001m^2. the chips used in build such radar system must be way to nano to achieve such fit. The semiconductor sector is capital intensive and unstable, I guess it's smarter to outsource the production. I think it's impossible for this business to thrive in a capitalist system without government intervention except the Dutch, they have all the technology except the raw material like germanium, and gallium arsenide. 5 Likes 1 Share |

DystopianMuse: I think your assertion might be wrong, China uses BeiDou. It's relatively newer and has more satellite than the GPS or GLONASS. Perhaps it was designed for the PLA only but it's available for civilian use now. https://www.gpsworld.com/chinas-beidou-challenges-u-s-gps-dominance/#:~:text=The%20BeiDou%20constellation%20is%20newer,places%2C%20including%20the%20developing%20world. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Mille: You've made a valid point, extremism is not limited to Islam alone, all the holy books have been used to perpetrate all sorts of atrocities. There's no disputing that Muslims carry out the most terrorist attack in the current generation, it's heart wrenching to admit but it's what it is. 9 Likes |

WriterrNg: Do you understand what you just typed ? It's nearly impossible to occupy the second largest country in Europe, the Russians would need full scale mobilization for that. I don't think you understand how expensive and ineffective that is ? What I don't understand is the frenzy going on in the west about Russia going beyond Ukraine. If truly the Russians have lost so many men and equipment, what's the panic all about? Perhaps to increase defense spending. I even read some comments on Quora that the Polish army is so strong they're gonna screw the Russians so bad lol Like I said it's nearly impossible to occupy a country as big as Ukraine. The worst they can do is take a chunk and call it a day to save face. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Procashtips: It's the month of Ramadan, fighting is prohibited, it's well stated in the holy Qur'an. I'm not saying Ukraine was involved but why will ISIS pay their radicals to commit atrocities. I think the first step into ideological terrorism is brainwashing, getting paid to do the job sounds sketchy. Except the preacher was bad at his job. And lastly, doing the shahada with the left index finger is very wrong, even during Salat, it's one of the first things you learn when you perform Salat. Perhaps these guys are new converts. 8 Likes |

WriiterNg: Druggie or not, I think his bravery should be acknowledged. Most leaders would have deserted their country, he stood his ground. He wants what's best for his country, I don't know another better definition of patriotism. However, I'm of the opinion the Russians started the SMO on a wrong foot, I think we can all see a glimpse of what the Russians would be like when they go all out and that's why leaders in the west think this might propel them to go beyond Ukraine. I don't think any nation has ever had this experience of modern warfare and it was evident from the start. The US for example have never faced(invaded) a country with such air-defense like Russia did in Ukraine, I guess that explains why the Russians lost so many military equipment at the start. These experiences are vital for both Russia and the US. Imagine all those countries invaded by the US and its allies having these much air-defense, I'm pretty sure they'll think twice. This is gonna be really costly for the Russians and we'll see how their economy performs when this is all over. The US can afford wars because it can print more money but I don't think the Russians can. 1 Like |

WriiterNg: This woman has a lot of salvage replies lol Europe problem is not the world's problem. The first world world war happened in Europe, yet they managed to make it everyone's war by naming it "World war l". The second world war still happened in Europe and they still called it the "World war lol " I thought we had other continents besides Europe. Perhaps there's something I'm missing. 11 Likes 1 Share |

lanre316: Bro, I think putting the US, Russia or Iran in the same sentence with the word "moral" is a great injustice. All these countries are ruthless killers. I understand the lines between good and bad becomes blurred when it conflicts with certain interests. There are no moral yardstick to measure who's more evil. Thirdly, the fact that you even proposed naming dead critic from both sides as a challenge is deeply unfair. Let's call a spade a spade . Imagine making ratios of dead people, that's nauseating. Lastly by your submission, Leopold was a better man to Hitler. Why not just say both are evil. 3 Likes |

Tiopii: The US is the biggest economy no doubt ( this will continue for another century at least until it implodes) but the world the needs China more than ever. I don't really see where the world needs the US to be honest. Even president Putin said it during the interview with Tucker Carlson" the Chinese are bigger problem for the Americans." No disputing that China has overtaken Russia, it also wields more influence than Russia (diplomatically and trade -wise). 2 Likes |

shoodboi2: Bro, I think we can both agree a huge chunk of Russian revenue is going into the defence sector (is that a good return for money ? I'm not sure) . I really do admire their resilience. Western countries going into recession has nothing to do with Russia. 1 Like |

WriiterNg: I think we can all agree the major exports of the Russian federation is fuel and energy that makes up 63% or there about, selling at discounted price is bound to have an adverse effect on the economy pretty soon, the question is when . I read somebody said something about diversification, these things takes time and the Russians had all the time to do that but they didn't. As much as I admire the way they found a way around the sanctions, we can all agree that the Russians won't be able to carry out any military operation after Ukraine for a long time . 2 Likes 1 Share |
