TrumpBiden:


You're still crying?

😂😂😂
Get more placards for protest, cos more bombing is on the way.

And by the way, try to compose new quotes cos"you don't need to be Muslim to support Palestine.. bla blah blah" is now stale.

People now understand that supporting Hamas action is supporting terrorism, and truly you can't be a human being and you support terrorism. You just have to be a blind religious bigot to support Hamas.
exactly.

There is no need for useless maps. Dwelling on the past will be useless to me. To think I want to even start the comparison of a very tiny kingdom the size of Ibadan (if we can call it a kingdom sef) Oyo was greater than military and economically.

Oyo's power can be seen in several successful cities across 3 countries still existing today. From Porto Novo and Ketou (both in Benin republic), Ibadan, Iwo , Abeokuta, Osogbo , Ota, Offa ,Badagry, Ilaro, Ogbomosho, Illesa, Ijebu , Iwo, Gbongan, Saki, Iseyin, Ondo Atakampe(Togo) etc. Over 40 million people speak the language of the old Oyo empire across different countries.

Touted as a great kingdom, its language couldn't even survive outside of Edo state not to talk of influencing others. A supposedly great empire with no successor city or state grin (except we have to count Libya and Italy).


Chai!

⚡Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valerii Zaluzhnyi asked US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for 17 million shells and $350-400 billion for the “deoccupation of Ukraine,” Ukrainska Pravda newspaper reports.

Austin was presented with these calculations, as well as the “preliminary ideas” of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on long-term planning.

“Austin was told about the need for 17 million shells. He was surprised, to put it mildly, because the whole world couldn’t collect that many shells,” a source told Ukrayinska Pravda.

According to him, Kyiv also asked Washington for “$350-400 billion.”

In addition, Zaluzhny allegedly complained to Austin about the interference of the office of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in the command and control of troops.

“Well, it’s clear that the president also found out about such conversations. And they do not contribute to trust,” said a high-ranking military source.

The White House budget chief warned the US Congress on Monday that failure to agree fresh funds for Ukraine by the end of the year would “kneecap” Kyiv on the battlefield.

In a letter to the House Speaker, the director of the Office of Management and Budget Shalanda Young said time was rapidly running out to support Ukraine’s fight against the Russian invasion.

“I want to be clear: without congressional action, by the end of the year we will run out of resources to procure more weapons and equipment for Ukraine,” Young wrote.


“Cutting off the flow of US weapons and equipment will kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield,” she added.

President Joe Biden asked Congress in October to approve $106 billion in national security funding, including support for Ukraine and for Israel’s war against Hamas.

But Congress has been paralyzed for months by Republican infighting, with hard-right lawmakers particularly opposing any further assistance for Kyiv as the war drags on.

⚡Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, known for his pro-Russian views, vetoed the provision of 100 old BTR-60 armored personnel carriers to Ukraine.

The already ratified agreement on the free supply of 100 supported armored personnel carriers to Ukraine has been returned to parliament for re-discussion.

Radev said that the deputies were not sufficiently familiar with the specific parameters of the deal and could not objectively assess whether these armored personnel carriers were really no longer needed by Bulgaria itself. For example, to combat natural disasters and protect the border.

The equipment was manufactured about 40 years ago and was stored in the warehouses of the Bulgarian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Opponents of the transfer of armored personnel carriers to the party in parliament accused the authorities of transferring the equipment free of charge.

⚡The United States currently does not produce a single advanced chip on its territory, said the head of the US Department of Commerce, Gina Raimondo.

“Yes, we want to create jobs in the United States.

Yes, we need to develop manufacturing in the United States. But fundamentally, this is an initiative that meets the interests of the country’s national security,” she said at the Reagan Forum on National Defense in California.

Even the chips marketed under the brand of the American technology company Nvidia are “every single one” made in Taiwan.

“I don’t think I need to explain to anyone in this audience what risks are associated with Taiwan or China,” Raimondo noted.

Iran and Lebanon want to avoid ‘big war’ – Lavrov to RT

Moscow does not believe that Iran, Lebanon, or militant group Hezbollah want the Israel-Palestine war to escalate into a broader regional conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has told RT.

Concerns continue to be raised that the fighting between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas could spark a wider war in the Middle East.

Israeli officials have threatened to bomb Lebanese capital Beirut in a similar way to their campaign in Gaza, while some US hawks have called for an attack on Iran.


Moscow, however, believes there is “no appetite” for a major conflict in Lebanon or Iran, Lavrov stated, adding that neither country wants “any involvement in this crisis.”

It is not disputed that this assessment is true for Iran, regardless of an escalation of attacks by militia forces on American bases in the region, which Washington has blamed on Tehran.

“Yes, Americans say that some ‘pro-Iranian’ armed groups in Syria and Iraq are trying to attack American military sites,” the Russian minister said, describing such incidents as “nothing new.”

Lavrov suggested that the US military presence in Syria was clearly illegal and was also questionable in Iraq, considering that the latter country’s parliament ordered the government to oust American forces in 2020.

⚡Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has categorically opposed the free transfer of old armored personnel carriers to Ukraine.

According to him, the equipment can be used "to protect the Bulgarian border and provide assistance to the population" in case of an emergency.

He called the safety of Bulgarian citizens a top priority.

Ghostagain:

1. Funny how I provide evidence, yet you are still debating. Man, your oyo empire is a fairytale.
2. Your "first king we gave Benin" is an other fairytale.
You can't debunk hard evidence with your unsubstantiated beliefs, it is the other way around.
3. Nobody on earth is more Edo than the emperor of Benin empire whose ancestry has been written about since the 1400's, many of you could be the decendants of migrants from Brazil or Sudan or Mali, you have no way of knowing that. But the Oba of Benin, son of a king who himself was son of a king....and so on...you get my point.
4. Which is bigger Benin Kingdom or Egypt: view 1747 map of Africa below:
