Also Capitalism thrives on exploitation through imperialism and Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism, the highest stage in capitalist development which Communism repudiates. So both economic models or modes of production are antagonistic to each other.

Was the Soviet Union not an imperial power? If they were anti-colonial surely they would have freed the subjugated Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Yupiks, Yakuts, Kalmyks, Chechens, Dagestanis, Georgians, Armenians, Azeris, etc. If they were not colonial surely they would not have moved ethnic Russians into non-Russian lands within the USSR.

The cure to COVID-19? The Russian-Ukrainian war!

The problem is that the UN official languages cover the most widely-spoken languages on earth. The most likely African candidate to become a UN Language would be Swahili. Swahili has 16 mil native speakers and 82 mil speakers in total. That makes it the 27th most spoken language on earth. It's hard to find an African language that would be as useful in an international setting as French or English or even Russian or Chinese. In a way it's a good thing for Africa - the lack of a lingua franca means African linguistics and culture will be better preserved. In European nations like Estonia, Netherlands, Sweden, etc. it's expected English will wipe out the native tongues in a few more generations.

Why should we be using PMC when we have an army?

Because the army was not succeeding in defeating Boko Haram or training our soldiers to defeat them. The PMC not only was defeating Boko Haram but was training up the army so we wouldn't need a PMC in the future. There's no shame in using a PMC anymore than there's shame in countries depending on allies. Rule number 1 in warfare is to accurately asses your abilities. Our army was deficient so we called for help.

Based on Google search of the image, no news of their death. Mercenaries are paid killers, they don't work based on virtues such as loyalty, justice and all those stuff. They work solely for the money They are not different from any other mercenaries from other parts of the world. Stop wishing death on them. It's kinda useless

That's incorrect. First of all: all soldiers are fore hire. Mercenaries are often ideologically passionate people but I do admit there are also adventurers/plunderers (but that is the same in national armies). During the Sierra Leone Civil War most of the mercs were fighting for 0 salary when the gov couldn't pay anymore because they believed in the fight. Most of the mercs that fought in the congo were very anti-communist and some came from SA and Rhodesia and had had their families killed by guerillas.

Right now there are plenty of foreigners fighting for Ukraine yet the western media does not call them mercs. They call them heroes and idealists. And to be fair: most of the foreigners fighting on both sides of the war are mostly motivated by ideology and idealism, not money. It's not fair to mercs to paint them as any more a psychotic killer than soldiers in national armies.

Amedino99 there is proof. Here are their military documents recovered by the Ukrainian army. The photo OP posted may be unrelated but two African mercs did die today. https://twitter.com/RF200_NOW/status/1508139285580505096?s=20&t=d889XP75JdxFldRCQdx0bQ

justli, you support a noble cause... good luck. African politicians would rather people focus on this meaningless shit than the real problems facing the continent.

But with the rules of this forum I think that subject is banned or something. Which is honestly a wrong move.

I know. How could a Nigerian web fourm ban discussion of the largest issue in all of Nigerian history? It's a bad sign of things to come. Things that are suppressed often come back in a more extreme form...

Try to study history like von Ranke, one of the greatest historians of all time. Most people today don't respect history they just use it for propaganda reasons or to win a debate. History is the greatest story ever told and we should all appreciate it.

I carried its foetus to term so I am the God of my child with full authority and responsibility and total control until it stops sucking at my breast so I better ensure I build a relation with my child so a wedge wouldn't fit in between us, is what I think.

I agree with you but that doesn't mean there aren't corrupters that try to deceive parents and children. There are manipulative predators who's goal in life is to deceive children and turn them against their parents.

What you need to is quit watching porn (and yes, porn INCLUDES inta women and any other images you look at for sexual pleasure).

Your sexual tastes are being trained by your rewards system. You are training yourself to like things that you previously didn't. This is how people become perverse. But rejoice! It doesn't mean you are a pervert it means you are infected by perversion. Like any sickness there is a treatment to destroy the aliment.

https://easypeasymethod.org/ - this website has a book that explains how to quit pornography. I suggest you give it a read.

When you quit porn and looking at insta girls your sexual tastes will go back to normal as your rewards system is no longer being overstimulated.

Do know that I am not in America, so perhaps don't fully comprehend the scale over there. Where I am, paedophiles can't get away for long teaching in the school system, and it's mostly because the pupils themselves were empowered through education about sex, and gender, and the involvement of parents..

Yes, parents need to tell their kids to tell them if freak teachers start teaching them this. This bill bans the opposite of what you're talking about. The education about sex in the USA is not "Watch out for pedohiles" it is "Hey you can be a transgender just like me!" and "If your parents don't accept your fetishes that's okay just talk to the school counselor"

budaatum:

I have 100% control, Zdalmano. That's perhaps why I don't see this your way.

Because if you don't spend 100% of your time with the child you don't have 100% control. The teachers intentionally drive a wedge between parent and child. The child can go to the school and say "I think I'm gay" and the school will not notify the parents but will instead send him to a pro-gay counselor who will convince the kid he's gay. At this point you're just being disingenuous. If school curriculum doesn't matter because parents can just undo any and all brainwashing then how do you explain the cultural revolution in China where kids reported their own parents to the authorities and got them executed? Sewing distrust between kids and parents is the best way for evil to take root. They want these kids to think their parents are old-fashioned bigots who just "don't understand" how being gay works.

budaatum:


At least, check reviews, is what I think.

Most kids don't have a choice. There is a single public school in their district that allows for almost 0 parent input. Not everybody in the USA can afford a private school.

budaatum:


Besides, don't you think you'd be an irresponsible parent if you needed this bill to tell you to get better teachers for your children?

The whole point is that parents have almost 0 control in the school system. The school board meetings have been getting bombarded by parent protesters and no changes or progress have been made. Do you think parents can just snap their fingers and get a new teacher put in?

Blackfire:




I don't know why you southerners hate boko naram like this

So should we be supporting boko haram? What are you suggesting?

Blackfire:
Why will they be killing boko haram...Is it there job... we will not take such insults...

Yes, they were hired by Nigeria to defeat Boko Haram and train the Nigerian armed forces. They were very successful at it too. Buhari's decision to get rid of them makes 0 sense... unless he wants the war to continue.

budaatum:


I've given an alternative perspective, one where educators are responsible and the threat is in the parental house.

Nobody denies most overt abuse happens in the home. But this bill has nothing to do with that. This bill is to combat the subtle grooming millions of American children undergo everyday at their schools. Not only are the new generation of teachers teaching kids about homosexuality and transgenderism and sexual fetishes but they bring in guest sex "educators" whose job it is to brainwash these kids (example: Al Vernacchio). Vernacchio goes from school to school teaching kids about pornography and gay sex and the parents have no idea.

What kind of argument is it that if we stop schools from grooming kids parents will start abusing their kids more? This bill is to combat the brainwashing/mass-grooming happening in schools. It's a separate issue from familial abuse.

That's just depressing. This bill is much needed but it's like slapping some tape on a crack on a dam. This has to be the start of a movement or the pedophiles and corrupters will win in America.

This should be interesting...
I'll start:
1. Taiwan
2. Palestine
3. Serbia
4. Cyprus
5. Donetsk (But I still love Ukraine)
6. Lugansk (But I still love Ukraine - it just makes sense for Ukraine to say goodbye to these problem regions)
7. Georgia
8. Georgia
9. Artsakh
10. Moldova
11. Morocco
12. Somaliland

budaatum:


Paedophiles have this thing where they convince those they abuse not to inform the adults. Now they can show Desanti's bill to those they abuse to convince them not to tell.

I hope you're joking. The bill prevents perverted sex "educators" from corrupting youths in school. In America they can teach about all sorts of depraved sex acts without parental consent. This bill is trying to stop pedos from infiltrating schools.

The Central African Republic soldier makes sense. Russia is well-loved in CAR. In Bangui there's even a monument to Russian soldiers and the Russian language is a required course at CAR Universities.

Why did Buhari kick out the South African PMC's that were defeating Boko Haram and training the Nigerian military so Nigeria could stand on it's own in a counter-insurgency engagement.

This is a very enlightening interview:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKf371K_QHU

"We don't want foreigners fighting our war!"
PMCs are not a foreign military power. They are hired by governments when their army is unable to perform up to the required standard. This South African group was not only destroying Boko Haram but they were hired to train the Nigerian army so a PMC would not be needed int he future. It seems like Buhari kicked them out solely to gain political points because foreigners fighting alongside Nigeria is bad optics.

Elite forces (such as the pictured 72nd mobile strike force) were trained by PMCs. Why not let them finish the job and modernize the Nigerian army? It just makes no sense.

Also do you have a source for your stats because from what I can tell your figure is off. And Zimbabwe's life expectancy was 43.06 in 2005. So once again even if your exaggerated figure is correct the African population in Zimbabwe were better off under Rhodesian rule.

Ofodirinwa:
The love expectancy for a black person in Rhodesia was 49. 2/5 children in Rhondda died at birth and the average black child ate 1 meal a day.

The topic you're trying to tackle is above you.

In 1970 the life expectancy in ALL OF AFRICA including the largely Arab north was 46.61. It would be even lower if we only include sub-Saharan Africa. So you are complaining they were above average with a positive trajectory?

Ofodirinwa:
The love expectancy for a black person in Rhodesia was 49. 2/5 children in Rhondda died at birth and the average black child ate 1 meal a day.

The topic you're trying to tackle is above you.

Absolutely braindead. Blacks were better off under Rhodesia than under Zimbabwe. ZANU and ZAPU killed more African civilians than the Rhodesian forces. And it was the British who were against the Rhodesians and sewed discontent among the people.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWlyxe0X0Eo NONE of this came to pass. Mugabe deceived a nation.

BSsniffer:


Another day another flatin0 showing his stupidity and foolishness by endorsing the demonic Ian Smith's Rhodesia where millions of Africans were brutally murdered and systematically oppressed. You really think these white supremacist diamond smugglers have a soft soft for some unknown forest igbo tribesmen...lol stupid coon. Igbos will hate a black Yoruba man for supporting the hausa/fulani during the war but worship the white brit who heavily supported the genocide against them. Bunch of rettarded coons.
