They waited until Trump choose his VP pick Vance before they announce Biden resignation, Trump too was waiting for his resignation before choosing his VP. But the democrats outwaited him and forced his hand because he had to choose during the republican convention.

Drinking beer is not a sin, the optics might be wrong being inside a church but drinking alcohol by itself is not a sin.

Foreign Affairs / Re: More Kenyan Police Deployed To Tackle Haiti Violence by RaptorX: 7:43pm On Jul 17
Fasindo:
shocked



Wyclef Jean people


Kenyan police shot a lot people in Kenya during the StopTheFinaceBill protest, but watch how they will never shoot any Haiti citizen. A case of killing your own brother and saving another person's life.

This is same case with Nigerian police, you see them shooting and harassing innocent Nigerians, but when they go for peace keeping they will maintain highest level of discipline by not harming anyone in the foreign country


Haiti would have been a better country if only Wyclef Jean was allowed to rule them
Wyclef Jean that stole all the millions of dollars raised for Haiti after the earthquake.

This is just a test run, but the real sniping to take him out permanently is coming. You think that sniper couldn't really take him out if he really wanted?
Foreign Affairs / Re: Bullet Pierced Upper Part Of My Right Ear – Trump by RaptorX: 6:18am On Jul 14
Predicted this here on front page a couple of weeks ago that he was going to be sniped, only thing I got wrong was my prediction got him permanently deleted but that might also mean he is not going to be president again. But one thing is sure Obama the biblical antichrist is coming back for a third term because biblical prophesies must be fulfilled.

Revelation 17 10 And there are seven kings (Carter, Reagan, Bush Snr, Clinton, Bush Jnr, Obama, Trump) five are fallen, one is, and the other is not yet come, and when he cometh he must continue a short space( Trump)
11 And the beast(Obama) that was, and is not even he is the eight and is of the seven and goeth into perdition.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Annual Defense Budget By Country (2024) Top 20 by RaptorX: 7:17pm On Jul 12
InvertedHammer:

/
So you think the whole budget is on R & D and wars?

For example, Veterans Administration which has more than 170 major hospitals and 1130 medical clinics are under Department of Defense. Below are sectional views of such VA hospital that cover acres of land in each location. Then multiply that by 170 across the nation.

There are many other things that go into that Defense budget.

/
VA is not under the Department of Defense, it's a separate agency with a over $300 billion budget and a cabinet level secretary of VA.

The only ediot I see is the person doing rubbish conversion to Naira on minimum wage job, I doubt if you are even in Toronto maybe in your dreams.

Life no balance. The least paid jobs in Toronto earn more than a Nigerian general.
How is the least paid job in Toronto pay more than a General in Nigeria, is the person on minimum wage in a very expensive city like Toronto not buying food and paying rent? Keep doing rubbish conversion to Naira and be deceiving yourself that you are better financially than a general in Nigeria.
Career / Re: What To Know About The Nigerian Army Salary Structure by RaptorX: 3:09pm On Jul 11
jedisco:
The salary structure in this country perpetuates poverty.

Why should an NCO that has put in over 20 years in the military (manytimes with a family) with all the transfers and risks involved be on less than 100k? Where does experience and years of service sit?

There should be a good overlap between higher ranked NCO and COs. I see no reason why a warrant officer can't earn as much as a lieutenant colonel. These are very experienced folks with good education many of whom were only unfortunate to be from poor families and hence didn't have the 'legs' to get into the NDA

Also, the pay appreciation with the higher ranked COs is too much in comparison to lower ranks.

For starters, no rank should be more than 10x that of a private. If a private or LC is on 50-60k, then a general should not be on more than 600k. Take the UK for example. A general earns grossly about 6x that of a private. Guess what? That General would end up paying relatively more tax so his take home would be about 3-4x that of lower ranked NCOs. Thats how to adress poverty and make sure higher ranked officers are concerned about the living condition of lower ranked colleagues.
Corporal earn more than a Lieutenant? Lol

So the man has been inside intense refrigeration for about 3 years?

Why keep him for all that long?

Is it money they don't have to bury him ni or there's a fight in the family or in his brotherhood?


RIP former Senate Presido.

Maybe they wanted to delay the man's journey into the hottest part of hell by the intense refrigeration.

It is definitely rip tide, I doubt if they went all the way into the deep parts. But a rip tide can carry you swiftly from shallow water before you know it.

Probably got caught up in a rip tide, even a good swimmer can drown in a rip tide because the water will keep dragging you out and the more you struggle the weaker you get.

Politics / Re: CDS General Christopher Musa Meets With US & South African Counterparts (Photos) by RaptorX: 5:38am On Jul 08
Faithful007:


While you’re correct about the US military unified command structure, you’re wrong to say that service chiefs are ceremonial. They are in an advisory role but they hold very strong indirect power. By convention, the president and defense secretary will not take any action without their recommendation.

Chiefs of staff plan and decide all US military responses and forward to the president and secretary for action.

During the Chinese balloon incident, Biden asked them if it could be shot down but General milley told them to wait till it got to the pacific. It was a controversial recommendation but that’s exactly what they followed.

Service chiefs are the ones who usually recommend whether US should strike a target or not. The United command generals are not involved in strategic decision making. They only command operations.
The chain of command runs from the president through the secretary of defense to the combatant commanders totally bypassing the chairman and the joint chiefs, so yes they are a purely advisory and ceremonial post with no operational control on US troops. Even the civilian secretaries of the army, Navy and Airforce have more power in the scheme of things than the uniform joint chiefs, because the US go to great lengths to have total civilian control of their military.

STEWpid:



Chief of Army Staff for only Army,,

We also have Chief of Air Staff for Air Force,,

And Chief of Naval Staff for Navy.



The Chief of Defense Staff is their boss!



Any General or even lesser rank that have operational control of troops like GOC's, commander of guards brigade are the boss not a ceremonial CDS, that will not even know when a coup happens and cannot order troops to crush it. Even that American CDS is a ceremonial position, infact all the American service chiefs Army, Navy and Airforce are all ceremonial with civilian secretaries of Army, Navy and Airforce who are their boss unlike Nigeria, and the real boss in the US military are the combatant commanders like the European command, African command. Centcom etc.
