What will that Stenchy of a guy know about American military ?. He's the same clown talking about how The House will confirm Trump's nominees and I have to call him out on that. The Jobless guy just like to make himself something that he's not.

Missy89:


You guys have zero understanding of military procument and fail to understand that all the branches have different objectives and beaurocracy

Marine ships are smaller and the operate from beach heads which is why the want a vertical take off jet. If that is the only design, airforce's airstrip will be useless and the version that goes on big carriers need to be modified for sea operations.

If u want to take out a single version, you will create more waste you are trying to prevent in the first place.

I'll agree with you that we don't know the intricacies of some of these but I think we can agree that Defense is the home base of wasteful spendings in the United States.

We are in a Nigerian forum run and administrated by Nigerians and yet some of us here think only American citizens have a right to comment here and I find this ridiculous .

Nairaland created a foreign politics section for a reason ,obviously we don't all have to be tax paying Americans to have a say in the foreign politics section of a Nigerian forum .some of us have family and/or friends residing in the us and even if we don't ,goings on in America always has an effect on the rest of the world ,that's why America is the number one ,that's why she is the world's power ,if America sneezes ,the rest of the wall coughs if a country is to be declared terrorist ,America decides it ,if sanctions are to be placed on a country America decides it ,America just decided to stop funding abortion and the rest of the world is already shaking ,if America hates a country ,that country is doomed ,if America decides to flood the market with its oil ,our country nigeria is dead and buried and only a fool would ignore American affairs simply because he/she is not a tax paying citizen just as only a very myopic man would think only Americans have an opinion on American affairs .

I say this with particular reference to Mr lucasbalo, you are known to attack any contrary opinion with the argument that since a person isn't in America and doesn't pay taxes as you allegedly do ,he/she has no say and I find this quite ironic because you are commenting in a Nigerian forum created and run by Nigerians and you think only American citizens have a right to comment ?,I don't know what sort of logic informs this line of argument but it's as annoying as it's childish and weak .why don't you create an American version of naira land and allow signups from only tax paying Americans so you can get opinions from only fellow Americans as yourself .
The beauty of foreign politics is when everyone from around the globe airs their views .

Should nairaland.com then ban all Nigerians residing in Nigeria and suffering and living in poverty in Nigeria from commenting in the foreign politics section so you can stop getting agitated when someone disagrees with you ?

It's funny you accuse president Trump of intolerance and bigotry but you exhibit same when you feel that only Americans have a right to comment on American politics in a Nigerian forum.

why don't you berate Seun ,the owner of Nairaland.com and a Nigerian to delete the foreign politics section.

Why can you not just attack someone with your own superior facts as an American citizen and spare us the sad rhetoric ,you have been using these lines as long as anyone can care to remember and frankly it is dissapointing.

I come here to get opposing views about America as I have family there and even more importantly ,my suffer head naira exchanges at 500-1$ now so American issues affects me ,everyone else and the rest of the world and you must get used to it .

I am guessing you would attack me too,call me poor bust conductor etc and probably won't stop the bigotry but let it be on record that such argument doesn't speak well of you as a person and I can only hope it's just a nairaland.com thing and not how you debate in real life .

Stanec obixel and all other guys here who oppose you have as much right to contribute in this section as you think you do and if u think they are wretched Nigerians who have no right to contribute then maybe you should create your own "dollarland" forum of only rich elite "big boys" and yall can have at it with each other in there .

This is Nairaland.com ,owned and run by Nigerians and Nigerians have an opinion in here till the day we all die and our children's children carry on from where we stop.

All that epistle because of me. In all your worthless epistle, tell me one time I stop anyone from airing their views ?. That's First Amendment which is hallmark of American democracy . Do you find them offensive when they call me names or call my other Buddies here Libtards or Clowns ?. The difference between us and guys like you is that we have stakes in America as American citizens. What's your stake in America ?. Supporting a racist president who do not give a damn about you or people that looks like you. We have the right as much as they do to air our opinions. So, you can foam in the mouth all you want , it means nothing in the scheme of things because you and your inter loping friends doesn't count when it comes to America .

bigcycs:


I hope you haven't escaped with the impression that I am in support of or against your president Trump cuz that would be an erroneous deduction ,go ahead call each names,hell kill each other if you like , my point has been made crystal clear Nigerians can comment about America in a Nigerian forum and wether their comment matters or not that's another kettle of fish ,it's the foreign section for God's sake!!! .bye

When the next Monthly Job report comes out,Am wondering if Trump would accept it and claim hes policies made unemployment lower..All throughout he claimed umemployment is about 40percent and the low unemployement rate is Bogus..I wonder what he would say this time around..It wont be "Alternative facts" anymore..Hypocrite..

Give him the credit, he's working things out faster, don't know why folks like u keep underestimating him. You may not like his personality or the way he talks bluntly, but he talks and he acts.

He hasnt done anything different..Obama did the same thing when he became President most especially when he got a Near Collapsed Economy courtesy of Bush..So there's no big deal in whatsoever he might have done so far.

An0nimus:
Thanks for pointing that out bigcycs. At the end of the day, anyone can voice their opinions. Shouting them down as non-tax paying America wannabees is pretty low in my book. And this is not just about Stench (who I find pretty crazy btw lol). Most contrary opinions are attacked in a similar manner - as long as you are in Nigeria you are unqualified to comment on US issues.

People are wired differently I guess. There are tax-paying Americans here who point out facts without rubbing their status in people's faces. Just like there are Nigerians who argue without saying 'Libtards' or Americans kool-aid drinkers.

CFCman:
134 million people have, so far, been banned from entering the US due to President Trump's Executive order suspending refugee admissions for 120 days

Lucasbalo:
Begining of Nazism and the birth of the Fourth Reich. Bravo for a bigoted Presidente. 17 of the 19 hijackers of the planes that attacked the Pentagon and the Financial Towers were from Saudi Arabia and SA is not banned from coming to US. You wonder why. Oil, Oil and Oil, since we have an Oil man as SOS. America don enter one chance.

Appleyard:

The present cost (and still counting) is enough to build 5 new different companies that would aadequately absolve all the said jobs you were talking about, and many openings would still be available. And I believe you also know that majority of those job owners aren't actually American citizens but foreigners, huh?

obixcel:
President Trump signed an executive order late Friday which temporarily bars refugees from entering the United States.
Trump signed the order on refugees while at the Pentagon, minutes after General James Mattis was sworn in as Secretary of Defense by Vice President Mike Pence at a brief ceremony which the president attended.
The executive order, “Protecting the Nation from Terrorist Attacks by Foreign Nationals,” contained these key elements:

-Suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days, prohibiting the arrival of refugees into the United States from any country during that period
-Ordered the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to undertake a complete review of the refugee vetting process
-Permanently banned Syrian refugees until President Trump determined otherwise, and
-Lowered the ceiling of refugees allowed to enter the United States during Fiscal Year 2017 to 50,000.

ValerianSteel:
I'll agree with you that we don't know the intricacies of some of these but I think we can agree that Defense is the home base of wasteful spendings in the United States.

ValerianSteel:
Do you cheer or denounce this?

Anyone cheering this is a heartless soul.

1. I'll start first on who is a refugee? A refugee is a person running away from a troubled land where all basic human rights and decency no longer exist while chaos tears through the societal fabric of that country. The unsafe environment prompts these men, women and children to seek a safe haven.

2. We should be glad they've always seen the United States as the beacon of hope where they can come to, be welcomed with open hands and live freely and better than they did in their former countries. The United States being has actively led the world in showing kindness to people in distress by welcoming refugees.

3. The lives of refugees are made harder by the waiting and vetting period they undergo before being accepted into the United States after scrutiny from the respective agencies in charge. Sometimes, the process takes a short 6-9 months, others take 2-4 years. They are only accepted after each agencies agree such individual passed the test to be come into America freely as there's no evidence they are a threat to the safety of any American should they come in. Let it be known even in the most dire situations, the process is not hastened or vetting gut for anyone, the agencies do their jobs thoroughly determining who can enter or not. In fact, some die during those waiting period.

3. If you scared by a Muslim refugee coming to blow up America, know this 'no Muslim refugee has launched an act of terrorism on American soil". None ever witnessed, reported or arrested for being a terrorist. Why? Because our agencies do the right thing preventing them from coming in, a proper cross check of an individual's history, ties and past life activities are highly scrutinized to see if they pose an imminent or future threat.

There have been more terrorist attacks from home grown and radicalized Americans ( Muslim or not). America faces a great threat of a 'White Male going on a shooting rampage in schools, churches, theatre'. In the case where a refugee ( Muslim or not) does launch terrorist activity on American soil. You should not be more concerned, does that qualify all refugees as terrorist or bad people coming to do harm to America. If you think it qualifies, I hope we can qualify all White males as violent gun shooters out to attack schools, churches and theatres. There are always bad eggs in every class of the society but the hard fact is the vetting system is 99% safe. The 1% is a risk we can gladly take, we have institutions that protect Americans from potential attacks, who knows maybe among the many attacks the FBI and DHS have stopped ever included one planned by a refugee ( Muslim or not).

4. Do you believe the United States admits more Muslim refugees as our lying President Donald portrays? If you do, you are misinformed. The United States admits just as much Christian refugees as Muslim ones. Also know that Muslim refugees are under threat of existence just as their Christian counterparts from other parts of the world sometimes the Muslim ones are at greater risk in life. In 2016, 37,521 Christian refugees were admitted and 38 ,901 Muslim refugees were admitted in the 2016 fiscal year.

5. The order stops the admission of refugees from Syria indefinitely, and bars entry into the United States from seven predominantly Muslim countries linked to concerns about terrorism. Those countries are Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. Except Trump's ban doesn't Include Saudi Arabia, Egypt, U.A.E, Qatar and Turkey, some of the said financiers of terrorism with Saudi Arabia having a part in some of the terrorist activities in America.

Where were these countries off the list? You may say, there are no refugees here, people leave these countries and apply for refugee status with hopes of running away from the sometimes i humane conditions imposed on them there. The major reason they aren't blacklisted is because our Führer does business with them and avoids putting them on the block.

6. Refugees should not be turned away because they are Muslims or come from places where terrorist come out of. Why? Do you stop milking your cows because one didn't produce milks that day. We shouldn't classify all Muslim refugees as terrorist or evil because of where they come from.

You are spot on. The Nigeria Pom Pom carrying cheerleaders of the Bigoted One won't feel it when the results of Trump bigoted views are raining all over America . I don't want my beloved America to turn to a pariah nation in the comity of nations. People like you and I and out other friends will keep shouting from the mountain top because our lifes and family are in jeopardy . The ones egging him up will be safely ensconced in their various outlets in Nigeria but our case is different .
