Is America Russia?

Russia has 9% of the world uranium and they are sufficient to cater for its needs.

is out there ..russia's military presence in niger is inreturn for mining license of uranium. And possible to disrupt E.U gasline project from nigeria to Europe.

How many military regimes make sense?

U are at the mercy of 1 man's feelings or principles on any particular day. He is the law and determiner of ur faith as a people.

Democracy is built on a system that aims to protect ur rights and interests however it is not practiced properly in Africa or Nigeria.

Our version of democracy is corrupt and weak cos of the weak systems to check and correct the wrong actions of individuals in power.
is military the only type of government

If they won the two Gulf + Iraqi Wars, why is Iran still reigning supreme in the Gulf?

If they won WWII, show us a US museum holding Hitler's remains.

I don't have time for unintelligent mentions
You don't even know that during the time the USA fought the gulf war, Saddam Hussein Iraq was the dominant power in the middle East

And the USA and Iran were ally during the Iraqi Iran war

Russian army. Conscription to fight in Ukraine. Dem go send you there.

You are not forced to join the US army. Or do you want to join? It is voluntary to join the American army, just like your country Nigeria. Conscription happens when there is a war or looming war.

If you wan join talk now make we know. No dey for corner dey do eye.

No conscripted Russian personnel is fighting in Ukraine, rather, the reverse is the case. Ukraine conscripted their youths to die senselessly which prompted a mass exodus last year.

To update you on things, just last week, Ukraine revoked visa renewals for young men abroad which means their youth must come back to Ukraine to renew visas (join the army) or become illegal migrants in their host countries.


The US featured many conscripted college kids to fight in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria & co. Many died.

Correct.

The Iran / Iraq war ran for eight years with no clear victor. Saddam Hussein showed Iraq then as the regional power, until things turned around in the relationship with the USA. The desire to control the oil resources of Kuwait, while pretentiously claiming Kuwait as Iraqi territory was the catalyst for the downfall of Hussein and Iraq. Hussein thought that claiming Kuwait would help cancel the debt owed Kuwait by Iraq. That move failed woefully. If Hussein got away with the invasion of Kuwait, he would have proceeded with Saudi Arabia, a key ally of the USA, who were also indebted to by the Iraqis. Hussein left the Americans with no choice. Again, in the days of the Cold War, the Iraqis were on the side of the old Soviet Union. They were enemies at that point.

Possession of weapons of mass destruction, refusal to co-operate with weapons inspectors, sponsorship of terrorism and the 9/11 in 2001, informed the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and killing of Hussein The rest is history.

Thank you for reminding me this morning. The events are like yesterday to me.

Do you know what it means by conscription? If you do how then are you not aware of what’s going on with Russian troops?

At the bolded, that is just the truth and nothing but the whole truth. but too bad most Africans are just too dumb to realize it. we are about to be positioned as a continent to enjoy the wealth Russian use to enjoy but taking their place as the largest oil and gas exporter to Europe and I never expected the Russians to fold their arm and watch in silence, but Africans are so dumb they can't see the handwriting on wall.

Konquest:

I CLEARLY stated my VALID opinion here based on what I have personally witnessed for many decades of being on this planet and that should be respected! My last post was very succinct and had nothing to do with being sentimental like you incorrectly stated.

For your information, I'm well-read in terms of history and international affairs aside from being a globally well-traveled man. Your last paragraph was completely needless and insulting as you and I have NEVER meet before for you to come to the conclusion that I don't read or was being sentimental. Do you think everyone here is a young ignorant person born in the 1980s or 1990s or 2000s? I don't even recall having any conversation together with you since I originally joined NL in 2005.

I have personal magazines and books from the pre-1960s, 1960s, 1970s, right through to the 1980s in my personal home library, so, I know full well that the USSR was very active in promoting communism in several countries during the Cold War years. But it's all been a case of self-interests all the way on all sides in the area of international politics and military interventions. I'll stop here as I do NOT have the time to linger on this topic.




I'm sorry if you feel insulted, that was not my intention. Back to the matter, so what's Russias interest in Africa? It definitely can't be resources, so if it's not resources then what?
Influence in my opinion, Russia wants to have more influence and economic trade and to majorly break the influence of reduce the influence of western countries. Is this good for Africa? Yes it's very good for us because we have not gained anything from the USA if we have kindly point out one economic or infrastructural benefit any African country has gained from the USA?

Russia is pushing the world towards multipolar world order which is what the world needs.

historian...that picture has been debunked. Putin was not a soldier but he worked for KGB in the 80s. At the time stated in pic,it was taken when putin was still in the university.
Also outside training offered to Mozambican freedom fighters in camps in Tanzania was largely conducted by Chinese instructors, not Soviet ones
And calculating his age by then he couldnt have been a senior officer to lead such delegations.
Further more, the zimbawean president Emerson Mnangagwa was serving a ten years prison term on the date stated.

Bro both U.s and russia are only in africa for our natural resources. For Russia is mostly Gold and Uranium.


The picture my not the real but historically the USSR helped African nations fight for their independence. Ethiopia was never colonized but because they could stand alone, it was because they had help from the USSR. Russia has gold, Russia has uranium so why would they need that of Africa?

america is almost rich with all the resources yet they still source from outside. Russia might be rich on uranium, but uranium deposit is one of the reason why they are in niger. Possible to sabotage France uranium supplies, since Niger was france primary source of uranium. Russia military in CAR have been exporting Gold and diamond in the Central african republic without paying tax back to the govt, there has been reported clashes between wagner groups in CAR and local rebel groups over minning sites... Sanctions on russia govt will make them to explore other means of earning wealth.
