I refuse to believe this story

Knowing fully well that nairaland is full of Alpha males, you just want cruise

I don't believe this is real. The guy is just playing with our senses. Even someone under a spell cannot be this senseless.

He sold his kidney for less than $2000, my God! That guy is desperately ignorant.

Slava Ukraine my foot

Funny enough I have several Ukrainian friends currently living in Ukraine and they are not racists.

We have racists and tribalists among every single people in this world. So, you should not use the actions of a few to judge the whole.

Even here in Nigeria and on Nairaland we have very toxic tribalists who denigrate other tribes every single minute and they are proud of it.

If you point one finger at others, just remember that at least three other fingers are pointing back at you.

Which one is thy are not getting answer.

Even right here in Delta state it's the same thing CBN is still accepting old notes

Speak for yourself, they have not been attending to anyone in Osogbo since Monday. People are just camping outside and nobody had attended to them.

Cease

This defense is shallow and watery.

BigCowHornn:



You don't know more than the US military
If they felt that Ballon could get much they will fry it right there in the sky

So, the US military is all-knowing and always right. And we must agree that they are Omniscient and can never be wrong.

Hmm..

BigCowHornn:



Those things you are talking about are always being tracked na it's nothing new.
What do you think Russia used to use Cuba and spy satellite for

Yes, but the data will not be as accurate as flying directly over the target country,especially over the sensitive assets themselves.

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.

BigCowHornn:



That Ballon was 60,000 feet up oooo. Not even commercial planes fly that high

Chinese and Russian satellites are only a little higher if there was anything new to be seen the US would have shot that thing down sharply

All US top military assets are located underground not above ground

What you normally see above ground are mountains and forests etc all heavily guarded

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.

Hotice085:

That is why China and Russia remains the greatest of all cowards, they can never be bold to tell the world what they intend to do unlike the US that will tell you straight to your face
Russia lied about invading Ukraine but the US knew
The Chinese lied but the US knew but was only waiting for it to go over the costal parts before shooting it down
The US will either tell you or remain quite not giving out cheap lies like Russia and China

My emotions may likely lean towards the USA sometimes but I must admit that China and Russia are very powerful and formidable enemies. USA should be careful and sometimes try to address some of their concerns. But hey, its a jungle out there and there will always be enemies.
And mind you, the advancement of the Chinese military is giving the USA sleepless nights because they can see that the Dragon is waking up before their very eyes.

China is potentially more dangerous than Russia.

BigCowHornn:


You have a point.

Bit then remember it's a Ballon. It will float on water with everything it's carrying intact but on land it might crash and catch fire

The USA wants that thing whole

It was a risky and dumb move. It actually flew over or in very close proximity to very sensitive installations and could have gathered very important telemetry data and sent them back to China. No country wants its enemies, or even allies to have access to its sensitive telemetry data. Any way, the people that made the decision knows better, I just hope they do not regret this decision in the future.

Microwhy:

You started coherently but later show how little you know about boundary and military.
How can Biden shoot down the balloon before it enters US airspace.

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.

BigCowHornn:



Shebi reading is a taboo in your family.

The article says the US were worried about shooting it down over land which would have caused casualties. They didn't want it to fall and hurt people so waited till it was over the ocean

I believe there is something they are not telling us. The balloon flew over places where there were no humans for hundreds of miles. A USA government spokesman was asked why they did not bring it down over uninhabited territory and he had no answer.

1stGenAmerican:


A president that is wise enough to be power drunk over his title of Commander in Chief to go against the advice of people who are experts in American defense and intelligence. Biden isn’t a narc like some of the African leaders, making hasty decisions that are like cyanide for the citizens and the country.

If you know what really goes on in the Oval Office during deliberations, you won't talk like this. Go and try find out what happens you will discover that military chiefs usually have opposite opinions and it is left to the president to accept whichever opinion he wants.

My opinion still stands a out Biden on this particular issue, though he is my man, we cannot always agree. I believe he should have shot down the balloon be fore it enters the US airspace.

USA should have detected it long before it enters their territory and appropriate actions should have been taken. Inaction on this issue shows a weakness in their defence. Next time it won't be a harmless balloon that will enter, it might be something much more sinister.

Amayabor1:


Go educate yourself on why the US delibrately didn't want to shoot it down initially and why it was shot down when the balloon was over the Atlantic ocean.

I know everything and my opinion still stands.

1stGenAmerican:


Biden doesn’t have absolute power and like a good leader, he followed the advice given by intelligence and military leaders. There are reasons why it was shot down when it was.

He has absolute power to make such decisions. He could make his decisions based on the advice of his military advisors, most of whom have opposing views. Ultimate decision lies with the president.

UncommonLogic:
Yeahp, we shot it down. China messed up big time.
The US will now go through the whole mechanism and technology on the spy balloon.

Most or all of the devices found will be copies or clones of technologies that USA already has. The balloon was on a one-way mission.

Antiochus:
China said it was a baloon that monitors weather that strayed into U.S. There are other ways of spying out a country from the outer space with powerful satellites a capability China and other world powers possess. I'll wait for U.S to retrieve the baloon and satellite attached to it and analyse to know if it was a spy satellite.

Flying physically over a geographical area is important because you can get important and sensitive telemetry signals that is impossible to get from a distance. That's why you see spy planes constantly foray in and out of their enemies airspace in order to get these important signals.

I belive USA should have shot down thus balloon long before it entered the mainland USA. My conclusion is that Biden is not a decisive leader. He is weak. Though I still prefer him a little bit than Donald.

Please who can help me to fix the power button of this headset. The headset is still working, it's still charging and the ANC light is still coming on, but something is broken in the power on/off button hole.

All the repairers in my area are saying they need the exact kind of headphone that is dead so that they can extract the parts from it and use it on this one.

Name of the headphone is Mpow H12.

They are called Deep Fake technology. We have video versions of them too. Very soon there will be no difference between real pjctures/videos and fake ones.

That is Tinubu and APC problem, definitely not my problem.

My boy is 2 year old and we have taught him to wake us up whenever he wants to pee in the middle of the night, and he does that diligently. During the day he goes to the bathroom and pee for himself.

Your niece being 5 year old should be able to wake up and pee by herself, or at least wake you up that she wants to pee. Truly, it might be failure of leadership.

Go and make a bank transfer, so that your criminal activities will be well documented.

Stop giving excuses, we know you too well

Then can you explain why banks are still giving out old currency over the counter even till this morning?

tradepunter:


Yeah yeah easy to open but then they fk you over with lD and other crappy documents

Every bookie asks for kyc documents, especially when you win and wants to withdraw millions, even Bet9ja and Sportybet. Every sane person should have documents of identity. If you win millions, you cannot escape the kyc route.

tradepunter:


Not everyone is on 1x..... Majority of people here are on sporty

Opening a new account takes less than two minutes, I believe access to more options means more freedom to make money.

GentlePEACE:


I know what am doing. Both new and old can join provided they pass the two test

In the next batch I implore you to allow contestants to choose the bookie they want to use between either 1xbet and Sportybet. This gives them more freedom because 1xbet has some options that are not available on Sportybet.
