Me too. I never said women are not bright and intelligent. It's just that insults from women are twice as painful so I do everything to prevent their insults and I find it hard to insult a woman. If it were my fellow man, we go join curse ourselves.

Stop exhibiting your illiteracy here. The US knew the moment the balloon entered its airspace. They delibrately didn't want to shoot it down initially because according to the Pentagon, the debris can harm people on the ground. It was shot over the Atlantic to reduce the risk of injury to people on the ground. Una too dull for Nairaland.
Like the ballon did not flew over Ocean before entering Canada controlled waters territory then to mainland Canada then to USA.
The most powerful military allies can’t protect their airspace, took then over 4 days to see the ball.
Take it like that grin

In the next 100years, China can never defeat their former lord and Master Japan talkless of the World strongest

They will only remain a danger like you rightly put it, China is only puffing because of the dictator in power just like Russia.
Any country depending on a dictator for leadership rather than a Parliament of different bedfellows is only country waiting to implode
See the way Putin has been killing many senior figures and what just happened to the former Chinese leader, you think all this people don't have loyalists?
China is only a danger to herself if she doesn't allow people freedom, this is the era of technology and innovations they can't stop their people with their communist mentality in this era

China is a real and a potent threat to the USA. China now has WMD of all types and its military is now modernized and still going through rapid changes of modernization.

Go and read what happened during the Korean War of 1950 to 1953 when American forces came face to face with the Chinese PLA. Then China had no WMD and their military was still relatively rag tag but they managed to fight the US military to stalemate on the Korean peninsular.

The greatest mistake anyone can make is to under estimate your enemy, especially one like China that has a massive military backed by technology together with thousands of years of proven battle tactics.

I strongly believe that the USA and China should not be adversaries but rather wary friends who understand and respect each other.

But maybe I am living in a fools paradise.

You are the naive one here. Go and find out how the baloon entered usa airspace, it entered from the ocean over large areas of International Waters before even getting into usa territorial waters and then flying over usa hinterland. So tell me, what was the almighty NORAD/USA NAVY/Airforce doing before it actually crossed into the hinterland from the sea?

You are the one who is ignorant on boundaries and military issues. American spokesmen who have been interviewed by journalist have little to say about why they could not do anything BEFORE it actually entered its territorial waters. Yes, they actually have the option of either shooting it down or leaving it on its path, seems they decided for the latter, but that does not mean people like us should not have different opinion.

This will actually be my last response to you. Thanks.
The bolded is an intelligent question...we're waiting for the details of the excuses the US should provide for being unable to detect the 'spy balloon' while it was transiting over the Pacific Ocean before it got to North American mainland/hinterland.

Here's my analysis, the balloon has been in the US airspace for days and the US didn't talk about it until it was sighted by individuals. It might probably mean that the US didn't even detect the balloon when it first enter their airspace.
Secondly, if the US claim they detect it while it was entering its airspace, why didn't they shoot it down the moment it was entering its airspace?
Either way it shows a weakness of the US decision makers.
Lastly it shows China has the balls to violate the US sovereignty and no consequence was given to them.
Biden US lost in this balloon sh*t.
It's both a diplomatic/political win and millitary win for China. The US is weak, vulnerable and incompetent. Assuming this was a Hollywood movie, they would have detected that balloon over the Pacific Ocean.
But reality is different from Hollywood grin
They say they want to go to a war with China, they should be prepared to come back from China in bodybags.

Any asset that has to do with communication or tracking cannot be placed underground. Sattelites, radars and their signals cannot be hidden underground.

If you notice you will see that I am talking specifically about telemetry signals and not about pictures or videos that the Ballon might take.

The 'spy balloon' approached the North American mainland/hinterland from the pacific ocean direction.
They had plenty oppurtunity to shoot it down over the Pacific Ocean before it flew over North American mainland.
From comments I've read, I'm 100% certain a good number of Nairalanders do not know where China or the US is located on the world map.

China and Russia are able to produce more weapons (effective and efficient) at a significantly reduced cost than the US.
That's a millitary advantage.
The US over inflated budget doesn't translate to competence and capability.
They (the US led western coalition) were completely thrashed in Afganistan (despite their heavy spendings) and literally begged the Taliban to let them withdraw in peace.

Completely trashed, how? Was there any battle the Taliban won against the US and its coalition? How many US soldiers died in direct conflict compared with those of the Taliban.

The war US and its coalition lost in Afghanistan was the ideological war and not the military war. The US tried to impose a Liberal democracy in Afganistan, and it fail. Islamic fundamentalist ideology won. The US equipped and trained the Afgan Military even more more than Ukraine, but the Afghan people were not ready to fight. The Ukraine people are prepared to fight even if given only spears and stones.

Once again the US did not lose the military war in Afganistan, they lost the ideological war.

Yes, shift the blame to the Afghan people. It's a behaviour characteristic of the US.
What I said is factual.
They always look for something to blame and take away attention from their own incompetence and failures.

Well more people have been killed in USA in 2022 more than Nigeria.
Maybe your head need support to balance from shaking, to allow you to do research and know that more people have been killed in USA in 2022 than even Syria that is in civil war , because CNN wouldn’t report that to you.


and you have local government areas in Nigeria under firm control of terrorist in Nigeria - please mention one house in America - not a street, not a road, just one house controlled by a terrorist in America without law enforcement putting an end to it within 2 hours maximum?

in Nigeria you have bandits kidnapping and rapping your mothers and sisters in broad - daylight- helicopter delivering ransom payment to bandits in the forest and your military is looking confused - your Nigerian navy has given up it’s authority to Tompolo and his fellow ex militants to control her waters — your Nigeria is currently the undisputed poverty capital of the world — with 133 million people living in absolutely poverty …..

is that the Nigeria you are comparing with the USA- ? you not just confused you are tremendously insane!!!!

They also killed Soleimani while using foreign airspace without authorisation.
This was in violation of international rules and the sovereignty of the country they disrespected.
They should have a taste of thier medicine.

And I'm supposed to give a F about what the UN/US/international law thinks about the Rus-Ukr issue after this (see attached).
