Showing the Southies what it actually means to have a Blue Water Navy that can put out to sea, project power to distant lands and achieve national and regional objectives by military diplomacy or force of arms. Not the SAN moribund in port with fancy toys that can't swim. Next on the interim shopping list are Light Frigates, A Flagship and one more LST.

first time i saw the CJ3 ISR bird
I thought that thing hovers cos it spent a pretty decent amount of time in one spot over warri refinery area

Meanwhile the Military High Command of the Nigerian Armed Forces after many years of the world's most brutal anti-terrorist war with Boko Haram and its deadlier offshoots have given the C-In-C the confidence to go public with the declaration that the war on jihadist islamafascists ISWAP terrorists is nigh its end.

My only concern now is the South-East. The North-West & North-Central will be like child's play if the President refuse to see reason and stop his sectional politics that has made the country the most divided than it ever was in its history.

The South-East insurgency is appearing to have been badly managed from the beginning the same mistake that was made with Boko Haram which turned out to be the deadliest of exigent threats to Nigeria's survival as a nation. Lessons learned some good politicking can save bullets which alone can't win a war. The NSA should tell him.

The most of s.tupid of fights to pick by anyone to fight is the one the comedian Ukrainian president Zelensky has chosen to fight at the nudging of the Biden White House. A war with Russia is a mistake. None of the big powers will come out any better because we are this close, so close to the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Heard someone ignorantly arguing just before my sabbatical that nuclear weapons would never be used - it's a stretch yes, but what most don't know is the difference between Tactical & Strategic Nuclear weapons. Moscow can decide which NATO country most sticks its head out in the neighborhood and make a statement there with a precision hypersonic tactical nuclear warhead and mostly likely that would be Poland and I can tell you nothing will happen. NATO for all its bluff won't come save Poland.

Russia has basically control or has the initiative in this war because it is a premier power. It chooses when and where the fight is waged and to all intents and purposes determines the outcome. What Western weapons only manage to do is prolong the inevitable outcome: the loss of Ukrainian nationhood which is the strategic goal of Wladmir Putin. Someone comes into your country assaults your capital, leaves when he wants and possibly it's coming back after establishing the needed corridor in the East, what more can be said of a lost cause.

The war shouldn't have happened in the first place if the comedian cum president simply signed on the dotted lines of neutrality. Now he's wasted lives and ruined his own country. I mean this guy deserves some s.panking by any new government of Ukraine quasi or puppet.

To be fair the invasion of Ukraine wasn’t an if but a when and the Ukrainians new that. Of course there going to seek out protection in NATO.

So your saying the Ukrainians should just stand down and let Russia take there country despite the fact there putting up a defense that far surpassed everyone’s expectations? They should give up for the sake of US politics? They’ve succeeded in scaring Western Europe into boosting there militaries, cooperation, and breaking free of Russian Gas.

I’m not even Pro-Ukrainian, Russian, or Western and I can easily understand everyone’s logic.

If all the islamist groups and countries that support them in the world teamed up and decided to all cross the Sahara with there vast American and Russian arsenals to take Nigeria would you want the leadership to just accept the inevitable demise of the nation state?

Then do what their mates did, stay neutral. Not running around shouting NATO and killing Russian speaking majorities. Most of the people supporting Russia are just fed up of NATO/US pokenosing into other people affairs; which is the main cause of what we are seeing today. Anyone that wins, we learn from them

You talk like a child

Those countries sending arms to Ukraine are currently in peace time with good economic growth while Ukraine is being bombed every minute

And who told you that Europe is free from Russia's oil and gas please don't come here to say what you don't know

Why so hostile? I never brought up anything about economic situation of NATO because it’s irrelevant to the situation in Ukraine.

I also never said that Europe was free from Russian Gas; I said they where boosting there independency from it as in there gradually easing there reliance by signing new contracts and investing in alternate suppliers with some regions like the balkans completely dropping Russian gas.

Dude your entire debate was one big straw man argument that didn’t need to exist; the entire time you put words in my mouth and got into an overly aggressive argument with yourself like a madman .

Who’s are Ukraines mates that stayed Neutral? If someone far stronger than you is harassing, threatening, and or intimidating you; your saying you SHOULD’NT seek out help or safety in an attempt to avoid further provoking/escalating said harasser/bully?

Are you out of your mind. You sound like one of those rape victim blamers who instead of condemning the rapist you focus on blaming the rape victim for stumbling into the situation.


The Russian speaking minorities and Ukrainians where already targeting each other back and forth for decades. That was just the ticket excuse Putin latched onto to support his invasion which is really about just keeping NATO off it’s borders. The same type of excuses the West uses from time to time. Many of those same originally Pro-Russian groups are now fighting AGAINST the Russian Forces.

I don’t support Russia or the west there all evil in there own way and care little for Africans. I’m not supporting one rapist over another just because the other rapist may or may not rape as many people as the other. I do agree with Africa staying neutral and taking advantage of the situation.

Well, think whatever you want to think. Can't keep arguing, from the Cuba crises to Solomon Islands of now.... That's all the explanation, you need of what a so-called superpower will do when its' security is threatened. So who is protecting who?.... NATO?.Source about the pro-russian group fighting back because from the news am receiving here, the main ones fighting back is LPR and DPR and those are the only pro-russian group...... Odessa which under strict military oppression and even kharviv. Ukraine did worse to those regions, even had a war with them; just read documentaries or articles of how all these started. No one is wrong here and no one is correct, all just excuses. Everyone is complaining about russia use of weapons , just check out how they treat those that oppose their views or want to leave the war; beheading people, tying them to ropes and flogging them to death, but check out Poland the Ukrainians that escaped, well you will see the elites of the elites; post the sources later. Using civilians as meat-shield; even that bucha, I can keep going on and on..... They're no different or even worse that Russia; my pity reduced for them, when I saw all these. Well, I pray they defend their sovereignty. They do all these and claim Africa is uncivilised, Omo but all in all Ukrainians are great people to be with.

You might think that ukrainians are great people to be with but they probably won't think the same of you. They are extremely racist

It’s not about thought I’m simply stating the reality of the situation on the ground. I didn’t state my opinion I just posted what was factual happening.

I'm sorry, but this is just bullsh*t. Ukrainians are not racist. I live in the middle of a Europe and I can definitely tell you that majority of people here are not at all hostile towards any other race or nationality if you adapt and respect our rules when you visit us or live here. Majority of people either ignore you, because we like to mind our own business, or are friendly. But you can find idiots everywhere. It's true we are reserved towards others, but there's plenty of reasons for this and that doesn't make us racist.

As for the war in Ukraine, look at 1938 Munich agreement and what followed. Allies abandoned Czechoslovakia and basically sold them for "peace". First Hitler wanted only a part of it claiming Czechoslovaks were abusing German minority in border regions. Western powers gave up the regions without Czechoslovakia having even any chance to vote about it's own territory. Then Hitler came and captured the rest of the country. And with power appetite grows. The rest is history and I'm sure we all know how it ended up. Middle and Eastern Europe knows this story very well and we also have very bad experience with USSR. We simply don't want to repeat history again and NATO helps us prevent this from happening again. And Ukraine is sadly the Czechoslovakia of 1938 that didn't give up but instead chose to fight and we are all very grateful for it, supporting Ukraine and donating weapons, repairing their vehicles and accepting Ukrainian civilians running away from the war. Just because we have a peace here doesn't mean it will stay like this forever and only thanks to Ukraine the situation for us is as it is.

I haven't seen any DR Congo pictures in this forum, so I'll share some from my folder of vehicle park. Here, Republican Guard T-72AV

If you have any pictures outside of parades, please share them, I'd be very grateful for them. Any pictures of DR Congo military vehicles are rare for me

Yh that's in peaceful times but in desperate moments true colours surface like when African students were fleeing from Ukraine; damn the racism were soo much, you won't even believe it. Some blacks are still in detention camps till now in Poland; like I said Ukrainians are good people overall but in dire times, the system true colours surface.

Russia has a well proven record of fighting for justice in Africa, they will always have some support, Ukraine has shown itself to have the worst of humanity, the treatment of Africans and other people of color has been evil/demonic. The only thing I don't like about this war is the suffering of people
