I'm sure Merkel will never forgive Putin for the betrayal. Everybody wanted to keep Russia a pauper, but Merkel begged for them and made sure there was always a seat for Russia at the table. I'm always surprised when I see some Russian and Putin stans talk about betrayal.

Well, its not every dog you bring into the house, some are meant for outside. Merkel has done her best in good faith. Her legacy is lifting hundreds of millions of Eastern Europeans and East Germans out of the poverty Russia left them in, but she also allowed her good faith to build Russia up again economically, and her World War 2 guilt to allow a million Iraqi and Syrian migrants into many of whom have different values. But all in all, she fought a good fight.

Fadedvoiced:
Putin and Russia suppose dey worship Angela Merkel. She's one of the major reasons Russia was able to make a comeback.

@ibime

Merkel had tried everything to bring them into the new world, cut them in and show them this world is about soft life and economic partnerships and freedoms, not knowing Putin is a neanderthal with 1930s mindset

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
In the early years of the last decade of the 20th century. The USSR had above 300k troops stationed in , more than 90k soldiers in Czechoslovakia, 40k soldiers in Poland.
In late 1994, they had withdrawn all Soviet soldiers in , Poland, Hungary Czechoslovakia and others in agreement with NATO.

Do you think if Russia knew that NATO will break the agreement they will agree to withdraw Soviet soldiers from , Poland, Ukraine?

Russia that was taking billions in aid from USA in 1991 after collapsing. East was no more, so what are they keeping troops there for again, in a country that no longer existed. All these born yesterday children, easily deceived

Akaekpuchionwa2:


Israel and Iran does not share borders.
Iran have never initiated war against any country. You have Israel attacking Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen.

Keep telling yourself that

Iran attacked Israel through Hamas / Gaza
Iran attacked Israel through Hezbollah / Lebanon
Iran attacked Israel through Iraq
Iran attacked Israel through Syria
Iran attacked Israel through Yemen

Israel had enough and responded directly

AirBere:


We simply can't tell what's happening there. Did they refuse to take time off or their bosses denied them a time off. The tournament isn't a one game against Bayern. It's at least 3 games which doesn't equate to 3days. Some of them are actual 9-5 workers with football as side geek. if you're a senior OPS/SME being away for two weeks is a long time ooo. Their team captain is a site manager, football is like side hustle.

If they were given permission to go and declined a life time experience of playing against teams like Bayern then they deserve to be sacked lol. However, I feel they were not allowed to leave but we simply can't tell.

Club World Cup has been telegraphed for a year. E no get how you want senior reach that you can't take 10 days off with a long notice for a once-in-a-lifetime event. From what I read they are mostly junior workers and students which is to be expected from lads in their 20s. You won't get lads of that age at top top career level

Fadedvoiced:


Why didn't Israel get the B2 bombers all this while, or the US doesn't sell them to other countries??

There are only 18 B2 bombers in this world. Not for sale.

AirBere:

See competition with over the hill Messi, Busquet, Ostari(38). Trezequet that couldn't cut it at Villa was moving like prime Neymar some hours ago.

Yesterday the manager of Auckland City(New Zealand) complained that some of the players couldn't travel because they have other commitments meaning they have other jobs. Some see football like side hustle in that country but they'll be playing Bayern today lol. I'll be surprised if they don't concede more than 7 with zero corners today. Part time footballers Vs Bayern Munich. Hmmm

There's no way you can compare this competition with the UEFA champions league. They're not mates.

If I'm the boss of a part time footballer who refuses to take time off to play Bayern Munich. I will personally sack him

LordAdam16:


😂🤣😂

Please answer the pointed question.
Don't pontificate.

Why is Satanyahu asking for US intervention within 48 hours of a war he started?
Axios and multiple media channels have reported on it.

All of you had assured us that Israel will destroy Iran 1-on-1.
They should do it. Why are they looking for someone else to lift them?
Talk is cheap.

-Lord

Bibi has been asking for US to fight Iran with it for the last 18 months so what you are saying is nothing new. Secondly only American B2 bombers can penetrate 60m down underground while Israelis can only impact about 20m, so if America really wants to end Iran nuclear program, rather than damage it, the ball is in their court.

Where are the 2 downed Jets you boasted about, or have you shifted goalpost on that one?

seankafor:
no matter wetin seun or spambot do,I say I must reply you

Israel don't need to call USA to any war. Half the nuccas in USA war cabinet have been hoping to catch Iran at a time like this for the last 2 decades but were never sure of disabling Iran's air defence which Israel has handed to them on a plate. So they will naturally discuss it with or without Israels prompting. What will hold them back is whether they want to risk war with an Iran that will have nukes in 5 to 10 years

Another quote arrested by Spambot, this time LordAdam

Whoever keeps quoting me should enjoy the Spambot, must be Sean Okafor

While Israel has unchallenged dominance of the skies, it will risk taking a couple of missiles hits every night to bomb Iran economic and military assets back to stone age. Every oil well, refinery, port, bridge, power station might be obliterated. Israel's know how to take small Ls to deliver Big L like Laurent Coleman's mum. Iran should be looking for how to provide basic services for the next 20 years than funding terrorists to attack Israel. Israel has much more access to capital and will swallow and replace the functions of anything lost in weeks.

A couple of unguided ballistics landing incoherently every night is a an easy trade off to having dozens of planes with aerial dominance that can go and target any facility specifically. A ballistic can only drop one unguided payload while plane can drop several targeted ones. No be today Putin dey drop unguided ICBM on Ukraine and hasn't won the war in 3 years. Give Putin just 3 weeks of aerial dominance of the skies and he will win the war. If the Israelis actions in the last 18 months are anything to go by, they will happily take a couple of punches to land 10 while they have this aerial dominance. Aerial dominance doesn't last forever. Once they let Iran breathe, Iran will scramble air defence batteries from Russia, Pakistan and Turkey, so my bet is Israel will keep this going unless USA says stop

Ibime, are these legs straight laidis?
.

We don't need straight legs, we need bow legs and these legs look bow enough

Bow legged players tend to place their shots where their mind directs the leg to place it. It is always k leg players that can't place their shots properly like your guy Kolo Muani.

Roland17:


I watched the video for 5 minutes and to honest, I would apportion some of the blame on the children. Family will do family thing, but you don’t allow your dad/ parents to retire in the village and not physically, I mean physically visit with him at least bi-annually to see things for yourself.

He retired to the villa in 2017 and it took 5 years before you started noticing changes? He never visited the US again after he left in those 5 years? None of the kids visited with him in 5 years before you started noticing changes? What did you expect would happen? I did not watch any further to know when they finally visited with him.

The relatives only took advantage of her parents because they were assured no one was going to keep them in check and maybe their dad was naturally kind and did not like trouble, because if na my pops? Good luck! The matter may have been worsened if their dad didn’t travel home a lot while he was active in the US.

It’s like sending a kid to boarding school and assure yourself that phone and video calls are sufficient enough. The day you will physically see your pikin after staying away for a long time go shock you!

The kids have to show more responsibility, this one no Dey for I got too busy in the US like the daughter said in the video. Naaa..they have to take turns to visit in person with their dad and see for themselves how he is doing, especially for his health.

Retiring in the villa isn’t bad, I have uncles who retired in the villa after living abroad and they are doing very well. Also, I don’t know how the transplant happened but in my experience, my uncles spent months in between before finally transplanting. They still visit the US for medical treatment and vacations but now primarily reside in the village and they are happy and won’t have any other way.

I actually read this story on Social Media last week and it hit close to home as my Dad recently suffered a stroke

On the contrary, the girl has been in touch with her Dad until the Stroke, meaning the Dad was in charge of his affairs and handling his affairs correctly

It was when he suffered the stroke that his siblings kidnapped him, got access to his money and and blocked communication with his daughter

That his daughter risked the journey to the village is a big risk for her to take, you know how these Oyinbo children no know road and it will take weeks and months of logistics planning for her to ensure her safety in the village (especially in the East) but her love shined through and she did it. It reminds me of one of my Naija-German friend where I had to arrange armed escorts to take her to her village in Anambra to retrieve her fathers property documents from her uncle. It took some weeks of planning and courage on her part, plus we had to make sure we could get her back to a hotel in the City same day after the confrontation with her uncle.

Unfortunately there is not much you can do with a stroke victim when someone is controlling their communications. Even as of yesterday, I had to wipe off all apps from my dad's phone except his calling app where I favourite his children's numbers, my mum and his sisters and two friends as that's the only way he would be able to look at his phone and get to communicate with who he wants. The first thing he did after I sorted his phone was to call my sister and tell her that Abel (his friend who is about the same age as me) just fixed his phone so he can call her.

I also had to transfer all his bank details and everything to my mum cos he no know any of his pin numbers nor can he read small text again so his bank details are Greek to him. In the process, I solved a mystery - he had asked my sister last week how I was coping with a £5k loan that was meant to help my mum. In the process of sorting his banking out, I found that he had lent his friend Abel £5k and in his stroke state, he was confusing me with Abel and wants to recover the money to give to my mum. So you can't blame anyone for being incommunicado or not in touch with a stroke victim and it is very easy to kidnap their finances as this guy sibling was doing.

I usually try to avoid conversations about the Middle East because, honestly, it’s a rabbit hole. So let me stick to my main point about what’s happened since yesterday.

Unless we’re prepared to go all the way back to the creation of Hamas - who created it and why it was created - and everything that led up to this, the only justification I’ve seen for yesterday’s attack is the claim that Iran is getting closer to acquiring nuclear weapons—and that, somehow, this makes the aggressive escalation by Isreal acceptable.

That’s exactly where my concern lies. This kind of logic and escalation could easily spiral into something much worse—potentially even a third world war.

Well, Israel is the only sovereign country to chop State sponsored terrorism against it on a Daily basis and expected not to react. Only weak countries do that.

Let any country constantly sponsor, arm and direct terrorists against another country and they will chop direct confrontation.

India attacked Pakistan for harbouring a terrorist group that killed tourists just weeks ago

USA attacked Afghanistan and Sudan for harbouring Al Qaeda that attacked USA

Let any country sponsor and direct the Uighurs to attack China and see if China won't attack that country.

Even Gaddafi that sponsored a plane bombing was not forgotten for 20 years

Any country, you name it from Britain to Russia to Brazil that knows another country is directing terrorists to attack it constantly will immediately attack that country, unless them no get levels

But somehow we want to normalise that Iran can surround and pound Israel with terrorist missiles, with a stated aim of their Government to wipe Israel off the map and Israel has no right of action. They first attacked Israel directly in a State-to-State attack twice last year, while Israel is defending itself from dozens of missile attacks and blockade from Iran proxies daily, and Israel striking Iran nuclear facilities is the problem in all these.

Of course Israel was on great with Iran until the Mullahs took over Iran with a stated cornerstone policy of wiping Israel off the map. They chose the beef in of the Palestinians.

So if there's any conversation to be had, it's the fairness or otherwise of the Palestinian situation going back to 1948.

Gucciboy:


13 goals in debut season is still better than 8 goals from leao and 10 goals from rodrygo .

Greenwood is the only winger with shooting power,plays direct football and has eye for goals more like mbappe of psg so I'm taking Greenwood over them.

Forgot to mention that he doesn't have a weak foot.

Greenwood is cancelled in England, forget about it. He may return when he is above 30 and everyone has forgotten. To bring Greenwood into your team is to invite a circus show of media, womens groups and opposition fan chants to all your matches

diggz:
Iran attacked Israel twice last year. Once after the killing of their commander in Syria who was meeting Hamas there, and once after killing of Nastallah the Hezbollah leader

Where did the killing of their commander take place—inside their embassy or outside of it?

As I mentioned in my previous post, neither party is innocent in this matter. But I find it strange that Israel would choose to escalate to full-scale war at a time when a deal seems close, all under the pretense that Iran might acquire nuclear weapons—something Israel already possesses in abundance—within the next 12 to 24 months. I just don’t understand it.

No, let's stick to the facts

Iran sent hundreds of missiles into Israeli cities to avenge the killing of a terrorist Lebanese leader

Israel for 2 years have been taking missiles from Houthis and Hezbollah, directed, funded and armed by Iran, even as recently as few days ago

Israel took an attack from Hamas from nowhere 2 years ago, directed by Iran

So what makes you think Israel striking Iran is not a continuation of what happened last week.

Or is it by hiding behind terrorist groups.

If you want to dig further into the matter, you can bring up historic accusations against Israel on the Palestine issue but the fact remains, Iran has been the aggressor towards Israel since October 7th 2023 and are in a state of war with Israel since then. They even stepped out of the bounds of State-to-State relations by acting emotional after the death of a Lebanese citizen to send hundreds of missiles at Israeli Cities. That's if we want to go by the letter of the law, we can see who is being emotional and lashing out for wetin no concern their citizen.

The Hamas hostages are still not released. You want peace but won't give up kidnap victims.

diggz:


@ the bolded: If you’re going to tell a lie, at least make sure it’s not such an obvious one.
Iran only attacked Israel last year after Israel carried out a strike that killed people inside Iran’s embassy compound.
An embassy is considered an extension of a nation’s territory—so that kind of action is essentially a declaration of war.

Iran attacked Israel twice last year. Once after the killing of their commander in Syria who was meeting Hamas there, and once after killing of Nasrallah the Hezbollah leader

What is their business with state response to the death of the Lebanese Hezbollah leader?

BlueRayDick:
During the night , 70 fighter jets attacked Iran hitting 40 targets successfully .

Israel has successfully created freedom for future air operations within Iranian airspace .

Everywhere go soon stew ……. Make una keep calm and enjoy the meal when it’s being served from the Jewish kitchen .

LordAdam16 should please confirm the downing of 2 Israeli Jets from any reputable source

Dem done dey cry now but had no tears on October 7th when the terrorist Iranian regime sent Hamas to murder and kidnap Israeli civilians indiscriminately and have been sending Hezbollah and Houthi to bomb Israel for wetin no concern them.

Iran was so bothered by Israel assassination of Hezbollah chief, it sent hundreds of missiles into Israel directly. Going by rules of State-to-State engagement, what concerns Iran with revenging the death of the leader of a non state actor in Lebanon. Emotional people, it's now they rules of engagement that Iran has been violating constantly

Make any of these groups just catch one of these nuccas anywhere, we go hear Allawaqbar followed by beheading while they are still explaining how they Palestine. Can never any terrorist that will kill me on sight anywhere like my Tanzanian brother below.

While Iran Nairaland wing is busy celebrating civilian casualties in Tel Aviv , Israeli forces are taking out key government infrastructure and strategic military targets from within Iran unchallenged .

There are levels to this shiiit! Who u don u!

No Israeli soldier or military asset was harmed yesterday, and I doubt even a civilian died. During Iran's revenge, more Iran soldiers and assets were destroyed

Now imagine Israel take the gloves off like Iran and start targeting civies, will any port, ship, refinery or oil installation remain standing?

LordAdam16:


Forgive me if I do not take the IDF at their word.
They've killed medics, lied about it, then changed their later.

This photo of the downed jet is making the rounds.
Could be AI generated, but the truth will emerge eventually.

Was any Jet downed in the end?

LordAdam16:
They've acknowledged one death. 44 injured.
Unconfirmed reports of injured soldiers at Nevatim base.

Mediocrity will keep updating its tally.

I recall vividly when the clowning after earlier True Promise attacks was that there was not even an injury.
The mending will continue.

Israel denies any plane shot down or any pilot missing

LordAdam16:


Target who and where you want to target.
Iran will target whomever and wherever it wants to target.

I told ya everything in Israel is fair game.
Satanyahu went into this with eyes wide open.
Israel just killed more than 30 civilians in Gaza today. Hundreds this week.
You dey whine yourself.

All Iran/Russia ers are terrorists just like this fellow above. No different from Boko Haram

LordAdam16:
