⚡Based upon July data, Chinese exports to Mexico have more than doubled, in the last 4 years, to $8.2bn per month. As we know, China also manufactures goods in Mexico to ship to the US to avoid tariffs being applied. Worth recalling that American people foot the bill for tariffs imposed by paying increased costs for those goods. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Watcharena: Trying to play smart, Iraq invaded Kuwait, a country whose defence was under the US, the US have times over the years entered into a war path when it allies whom it had a "DEFENSE PACT" was invaded, the key word here is "DEFENSE PACT" the US fought against the communist north Koreans when they invaded south Korea, fought against the vitcong when they invaded south Vietnam, the US would only intervene when there is a legal right to intervene, what the US in doing in the middle-east in defence of isreal is because of the DEFENSE PACT with isreal, the US can't come to Taiwan aid incase of a Chinese invasion, because there is no mutual DEFENSE PACT with the US, but China invading south Korea now that's a new ball game because the US is mandated by the Treaty it signed to come to south Korea aid incase of an invasion The US have no business putting boots on the ground in Ukraine, there's nothing mandating them to do so. The best they can do is supply military aid which they have done fantastic well. It wasn't until recently that that Ukraine was pro western, it has always fall under the sphere of influence of Russia, there was never time the west/US had an opportunity to craft a defence Treaty for Ukraine. one the major reasons why putin invaded was the talk of Ukraine joining NATO, if they had been drafted into the organisation. you think Putin is Crazy enough to invade a NATO member. People saying the US should fight in Ukraine, are juveniles when it comes to international politics. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Watcharena: Read my post well, I never said there was a defence pact with Kuwait, I said their defense was under the the US, the UN security Council which included both Russia and China pass a resolution which allow the use of force against Iraq, the Kuwaiti government ask for help the US government accepted and the defence of Kuwaiti was brought under the US. |

obedience4: Let's assume they have these pacts, pacts are legal obligations, so the US honored the pact. I admire that commitment. You've established that "defense pacts" are needed before the US put boots on ground. Now, kindly explain the defense pacts that allowed the US to put boots in Syria and also Libya. I don't remember the UN Security Council allowing the invasion in those two countries. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

Make una ask the buffoon what's stopping the US from signing this "defense pact" with Taiwan? What are they waiting for? China to invade first? And what stopped them from signing "defense pact" with Ukraine? They had over 20 years to do that? I know the answer.... Russia and China are not Iraq & North Korea or Vietnam.

usmanpogo: The case of Syria were counter terrorism operations, against the Islamic State, the United States military never engaged in ground attacks against troops loyal to Bashir, trump conducted airstrike when basir was accused of using gases against civilians, the US sent weapons to some groups like the kurdish forces but never enagage in operations against government forces. In the case of Libya there was a UN security Council resolution which was supported by china and Russia as permanent members of the council and also non nato members like Jordan and Qatar was also among the coalition enforcing the no flight zone in Libya, there was no ground invasion of Libya only airstrikes Just as in Ukraine and syria the US sent military aid to some factions against Gaddafi most of you guys don't know that china and Russia were also part of the Libya intervention as both nations had veto powers to stop the intervention yet didn't, when the US brought the Ukrainian invasion to the UN Security Council, china abstained and Russia vetoed it, yet the same Russia you guys are hyping failed to veto the UN Security Council resolution for a no fly zone in libya. |

First of all technically the US have no offical diplomatic relations with Taiwan, the US as many other countries have adopted the one China policy making the PRC the only legitimate government.,how will the USA signed a defence Treaty with a Taiwan nation, when the same US recognises the communist government of the peoples Republic of China as the only one government in both China and Taiwan, the only thing the US can do which it has done well is enabling the Taiwanese making sure they possess the technology and tools it requires to defend itself. Like I pointed out, the Ukraine has always been on under the influence of Russia, and it was only after the revolution that brought a pro western government, thus there wasn't enough ground work to bring Ukraine into a US defense pact Cuba is a Russia ally, we all know how the US reacted the last time the Soviet Union tried to use Cuba to counter US influence in North America, how many defence pacts dose Russia have with countries that are anti US,? When I see your nuclear rants on this thread, i just laughed, it shows how shallow your thinking is, and it seems you are missing some neurons in that your underdeveloped brain of yours. Pakistan is the country known to have the least stockpiles of Nukes yet Pakistan has enough nukes to destroy the entire world ten times over, and you are F00lishly threatening a USA who currently have one of the largest stockpiles of nukes, A country who has indeed used one, a nation who currently has over 7 nuclear armed subs lurking in the oceans ready at a moment notice to bring down hell, you are the most dullest fellow I have seen, stick to copy and paste propaganda . 2 Likes |

⚡In Poland, three trucks carrying military equipment intended for transport to Ukraine caught fire on the road from military warehouses to a national airbase. The trucks were loaded with helmets, body armor, and crates of mortar shells. Residents of the nearby villages of Aleksandrowice and Murawica heard explosions from the munitions for two hours.

[b]Pokrovsky direction: retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces south of Zhelanny... This information has not yet been confirmed, but it is in our channels. According to it, the enemy, realizing that they could hold us back to the south of the settlement. He is not able to do what he wants, he quickly retreats (more correctly, runs) to the south, without stopping in the village. Ptichye towards Kalinovo. Here he will try to hold out for at least some time (I don’t think long) on the heights beyond the line of ponds, which are the last natural line of defense before Karlovka. Judging by the actions, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not particularly expect that it will be able to keep us here, and therefore it has already evacuated its support workers from the Karlovka dachas and is preparing the evacuation of Karlovka itself. But I think these measures are already too late. By and large, it’s time for them to think about a general retreat across the Volchya River from Karlovka to at least Krasnogorovka in order to try, by regrouping their forces (and reducing the front), to restore a stable front line. But this is unlikely, given the fact that official Kyiv expects victories from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and not “reductions in the front line.”[/b] 2 Likes |

obedience4: I was wrong, the UNSC did pass the intervention act to prevent the allegedly killing of civilians by the the administration. The intervention allowed for a no-fly zone in Libya to ground all military aircraft. Guess who championed this campaign ? The campaign or intervention was supposed to defend civilians or reduce the casualties of the civil war. The moment the intervention went from defensive to offensive, eventually leading to the death of Gaddafi was an overkill. Nato coordinating and supporting rebels and anti-regime forces is a move to destabilize the country or exact influence. The issue of Syria, the US is currently occupying the oil rich regions, I guess they are there to fight and defend the civilians in those places too. What international law allowed the US to put boots in Syria ? Was it the UNSC as well ? You can't just go into other people's country and occupy it and claim you're fighting terrorism. You claimed they didn't fight the government forces, I guess Assad invited them to Syria . Syria shares no land border or Maritime with the US, how in God's name is the US affected by the situation in Syria ? 9 Likes 3 Shares |

usmanpogo: I think you should read more about the UNSC resolution 1973, there is a major resolution which states and I quote authorizes "all necessary measures [...] to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, including Benghazi, while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory" Gaddafi was instigator in chief of the killings in Libya he was responsible for the mass murder in Libya and removing him from power was a "necessary measure" to mitigate against the senseless killings of civilians. You saying it was offensive operation instead of a defensive operations doesn't matters it all about how you defined the phrase "necessary measures" dose military operations were deemed necessary to prevent civilians casualties, the UNSC gave the go ahead for the USA and Co to used any means to prevent civilians deaths, and removing Gaddafi was deem a necessary measure. During the peak of the civil war, the Syria government had collapse, the country was in ruins and ISIS took advantage and became a formidable force, note isis killed American citizens, beheading them on live videos, invaded iraq which houses US bases with US citizens, iraq hosted USA consulate with American citizens,so the US should fold its hands till its citizens are killed, this is not about Borders The US was there to protect it interests, same as Iran, same as Turkey and also Russia. The USA had to do what it needed to crub isis, during isis regin of terror they were able to carry out attacks on Europe and even had an affiliation with a splinter cell of boko haram in West Africa, they had took vast amount of territorial gains were involved in young girls trade. The intervention of the US was necessary to counter the rise of ISIS's, and without the US intervention nobody knows how far ISIS' would have gone. US occupying oil rich areas and using Syria oil is mere propaganda, this are folklore, tales by moonlight 1 Like |

⚡Saudi Crown Prince MbS reportedly suggested killing the then-Saudi monarch, King Abdullah, using a poisoned ring he allegedly obtained from Russia in 2014. This plot surfaced through a secret surveillance video, as recounted by Saad al-Jabri, a former senior Saudi security official. The plot was taken seriously enough that MbS was temporarily banned from the court and from shaking hands with King Abdullah.

obedience4: Bro, you claimed the US never attacked forces loyal to Assad, so who was the airstrikes against ? Are there proof that Assad really gassed civilians or it's another instance of weapon of Mass destruction Resolution 1973 authorizes Chapter VII measures for the protection of civilians in Libya, authorizes member states to take all necessary measures to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in Libya, and imposes both a no-fly zone over Libyan airspace and an arms embargo. As you can see the resolution is not a Carte Blanche, the resolution is defensive, take any means necessary to defend the civilians doesn't correlate with coordinating with rebels or political assassination. The resolution was misinterpreted the second time on the same country twice. Are you saying there was no wrongdoing by the interventionist in this context ? 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Kingsnairaland: Bro, just a few countries trading in their local currencies would change nothing, the US dollar is gonna remain the dominant currency for at least another century or two. One thing I admire about the US is how they protect their interest. I'm certain they are working behind the scenes to counter all these moves.

usmanpogo: The resolution is base on interpretation, depending on how you want to interpret it and on what context you are looking at when interpreting it The key word is "necessary measures" the US were enforcing a no-fly zone but later started conducting airstrike in support of some anti government elements on the basis that this were "necessary measures" to prevent civilians deaths. NATO agurement is that they had to start conducting airstrike on governments forces loyal to Gaddafi to prevent civilians casualties. This airstrike and support were vital to Gaddafi loss of power and eventually his death. If the airstrikes actually prevented civilians deaths or was just a means or smoke screen to remove Gaddafi it is hard to tell. The bottom line of the whole matter is NATO acted on a legal framework which was backed by the UNSC resolution for NATO to use all "necessary measures" to secure and protect civilians, "necessary measures" can mean anything from airstrike to lunching a nuke depending on the interpretation and the context being used. A perfect example is Russia, one of the reasons which putin gave for invading Ukraine was that they were protecting Russian speaking people in the dobass region, this is Russia virtually invading another nation because it feels its protecting civilians, someone looking at that context will Putin invading Ukraine was a"necessary measure" to protect ethic Russians in the dombass, THIS IS NONSENSE because No Russian speaking person was being persecuted or killed in the dombass. There is enough of proof on the chemical attack by government forces in Syria there was a global outcry after pictures and videos circulated after the attacks, and trump conducted airstrike on chemical weapons facilities In Syria, this was major news I am not in support of the airstrike in Libya, but nothing they did was illegal, it was conducted by virtue of the UNSC resolution, infact nigeria was a non permanent member then and they voted yes. |
