Alamkiir:
I don't even understand the direction of the post
It's the same for every of his posts about the US.

If it was Russia, he'll go straight ahead to condemning them. No beating around the bush.

But since it's the US, he'll write long articles about how the US built and became the savior of world before even condemning what they did. Even if they kill a million people.

I just dey observe am since.

The US was the heart and soul of the free trade movement during the 70s, the US can be solely credited for opening up the Chinese markets to the world. President Nixon laid the groundwork with Shanghai Communique.

The US has a large economically attractive market, economically attractive in the sense that a larger percentage of it populations are high earners, this means there's a need to encourage and promote home made products.

How the current economic system continues to not only work but flourish is an enigma ? I don't know how sustainable it is in the long run.

Enter the protectionist policy

The need to promote and encourage home made products led to the US protectionist policy during the 20s.
"The 1920s US auto industry boom was significantly influenced by protectionist policies. While not the sole driver, the imposition of high import tariffs on foreign cars, starting with the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act of 1922, shielded the domestic industry from international competition, allowing it to flourish. This protection, coupled with mass production techniques and increased consumer spending, fueled the rapid growth of the American automobile market. "

The protectionist policy encouraged all sectors of the US economy and it contributed to the early economic boom in the 20s.

This policy also partly contributed to the great depression due to retaliatory tariffs.

Why would the US want to go down that road again ?
Are you making excuses for them or condemning them?

⚡Czech President Pavel:

Ukraine, even with full Western support, is currently unable to liberate all occupied territories quickly without heavy loss of life.

It would be unfair for the West to push Ukraine into such an effort now—we want Ukraine to survive as a sovereign, independent nation, not face extermination.

If preserving Ukraine's independence means temporarily accepting that some territory remains occupied—without ever legally recognising it as Russian—then so be it.

I actually responded to this and to the other of your mention. Nairaland took it down and suspended me. 😅. So, let me use less harsh words here so you can see it. Lol.

bet you've never head of Russia's S-70 Okhotnik-B heavy stealth bomber drone. A super secretive project.



Is the S-70 okhotnik-B a bomber or drone? Which one is bomber drone? 😅🤣😂😅. See who i dey follow argue military matters 🤣😅🤣. How old are you please?


The S-70 Okhotnik-B is a drone (not a bomber). It was even shot down by Russia itself when it went out of control over Ukraine. What is secretive about the drone? The drone technology that is already in the hands of the Ukrainians 😅🤣😂. Technology they have already passed to the US 🤣😅🤣

The US is the only country in the world with a nuclear stealth bomber. I speak facts. I don't need to rush to Google to pick up materials that I don't know what they are saying. Russia doesn't have a nuclear stealth bomber

Baba , I can't argue with you on military matters abeg. You know nothing. They really said an empty drum makes the loudest noise.


Someone who doesn't know the difference between a drone and a bomber is dishing out lies on nairaland as if they are facts. 🤣😅😅😂. God abeg 😅🤣😂

Have a nice day abeg. You are not knowledgeable enough in this field for us to have an intelligent conversation.


By the way, see your Russia's S-70 Okhotnik-B heavy stealth bomber drone for ground 😅🤣😂
😂 🤣 😭 🤣 😂


You're really a kid. The so called stealth bomber was shot down by Yugoslavia as far back as 1999 and probably is in the hands of the Russians.

Oga leave back and forth argument, let the US fly these so called stealth bombers above Russia let's see whether they're truly stealth. The US have never flown these so called stealth fighters over a near peer adversary. Only Islamic countries with poor air defense coverage.

You think stealth technology is a new thing? It has existed since the 80's. Infact it is considered outdated by today's standards.

The Russians shot it down themselves for reasons best known to them.

EU buying Russia LNG: lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
US buying Russia fertilizer: lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
India buying Russia oil: angry angry angry
The hypocrisy.

The USA is threatening high tariffs on India and saying Indian oil purchases are financing the Russian war in Ukraine.
The USA, Europe and some other countries have trade relations with Russia, though in lower amounts, but do the USA, EU countries and others who import Russian goods not finance Russia in its conflict in Ukraine?
Trade, be it oil or any other product, benefits Russia.
Then by that logic, India aiding America's war in Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan, by trading with America
You forgot to add US buying Russian enriched uranium.

Turkey & Saudi Arabia buying Russian oil.

⚡The Lithuanian government resigns amid a corruption scandal after less than eight months in office

The entire Lithuanian cabinet has resigned following the departure of Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas, who led the government for just under eight months.


"Having made the decision to resign as Prime Minister of the Republic of Lithuania, I hereby announce the resignation of the 19th Government of the Republic of Lithuania. It may sound dramatic, but I am stepping down — you will continue in a caretaker role until the new Prime Minister decides what changes will be made," Paluckas stated.

He emphasized that his cabinet had nothing to be ashamed of and called it an honor to lead the government.

According to protocol, President Gitanas Nausėda will now appoint one of the current ministers as acting prime minister until a new government is formed.

Paluckas's resignation was announced on July 31, following weeks of public scrutiny fueled by investigative reports suggesting companies linked to him had received preferential loans.

Just running to goggle to pick up information that you don't even understand. First, I never said Russia is lacking in Nukes. Neither did I say Russia has 5000 nukes.

Russia is a major supplier of enriched uranium to US for U.S. civilian nuclear power reactors. Do you understand this? There are many privately owned nuclear power plants in the US. In fact, most of the nuclear power plants in the US are privately owned and operated. They are used to generate electricity. They are the ones that import enriched uranium from Russia for their nuclear reactors for electricity generation.

When it comes to nuclear bombs, the type of uranium used is highly enriched uranium (HEU). The US doesn't import HEU from any country for security reasons. They have large stock of Uranium.

That you don't know the difference between HEU and other low enriched uranium used for civilian purposes shows you don't even know what you are talking about. And I even thought I was engaging with someone who was knowledgeable in this area. First it was lies about Russian submarines freqently docking in cuba. I had to prove that it is a lie. Now this. Fronting as though he knows something whereas he knows nothing. Lol

Bye!
Keyword "Specifically".

Meaning not necessarily for military. Could be for civilian use too.

They did not deny the fact that they import enriched uranium for military. They just said that's not the only reason they're imported.

The screenshot you provided proves me right. Highly enriched uranium which Russia supplies is what is needed to make bombs.
