🇺🇲🇮🇱 The Biden administration is directly demanding that Israel not conduct a military operation in Rafah.

The famous American journalist, three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman, who is considered "Biden's mouthpiece," writes about this in an article for The New York Times, citing sources.

The White House talks about this publicly, but in private the Americans' statements are even more straightforward. They tell Israel: "no massive invasion of Rafah, period."


"We are not telling Israel to just leave Hamas alone. We are saying that we believe there is a more targeted way to go after the leadership without destroying Rafah block by block," a senior US official told the publication.

Biden wants to prevent another wave of mass civilian casualties.

The US is proposing that Israel instead create a defensive coalition against Iran with Arab countries led by Saudi Arabia. This will require Israel to end the war, which has dragged on for six months, and agree to the creation of a...

Hell...I wonder what would have happened if Nigeria president decides to dollarized the economy...economic expert like you would have preached how bad it is, while y'all scream GOD take this man away grin

assuming you do grind @tomatoes and @pepper in two different machine and decided to grind it in one machine you'll be cutting the :
# cost of maintaining the two different machine
# stress of cleaning the two machine after use
# you'll save more time.
or assuming two people wants to go from point A to point B in two different bike which will cost #300 each, and they decide to enter one bike, they will get a cut and pay #500 instead of #600.
note that I'm quoting u on the fact that you said joining two different ministry changes nothing apart from having one boss.
who knows you are just sitting at home yabbin shit, because if you've been out you'll know that many ministry's in nig are just useless (apart from job creation) because in the five working days that we have official will just come two or three times, and even in those days you'll see them sitting idle doing nothing most of the time.

🇺🇸🇷🇺Tucker Carlson interviewed the famous Russian philosopher Alexander Gelevich Dugin, showing the American conservative public a relatively close ideological person and revealing his rejection of liberal globalism.
Among other things, this is an unambiguous media success for Russia, while at the same time Ukraine, for example, was poked where it hurts, remembering Daria Alexandrovna Dugina, who was killed by the Ukrainian special services

👉Spies are what they are
called in the media, carried out raids in London in March at this time, especially on two warehouses of the British companies "Oddisey" and "Meest UK", which were involved in the supply of war and humanitarian aid for the needs of the Ukrainian armed forces.
About 60 firefighters and several special vehicles were needed to extinguish the six-hour fire.


Russian Ambassador Andrei Kelin has been summoned to the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The British sent a protest note about "hostile activity".
The Russian ambassador called these accusations absurd and pointed out their groundlessness.


The Minister of Foreign Affairs, David Cameron, called the situation challenging, where British citizens themselves are "the perpetrators of criminal activity in Great Britain in the interest of Russia."


The head of the anti-terrorism unit of MI5 said that the situation is very serious, because this is the first case of criminal prosecution under the new law on national security, where the Wagner group is recognized as a terrorist organization.

The investigation is also a reminder that the original information about the arrest, even about the arsonists arrests, was kept secret so as to discover the whole group.

The arrest happened because one of the participants actively and openly discussed his activities with another unsuspecting person.

❗️NATO Prepares to Face Russia - and Problems of Its Own - The Wall Street Journal

Key points from the material:

📌 The Alliance is conducting exercises to 'defend' European countries bordering Russia in order to 'prepare allies to fight side by side'.

📌 NATO members are now spending more money on defense than they did during the Cold War, and preparing for coalition warfare has once again become a priority for the alliance;

📌 NATO says Russia is a 'major threat', but many officials in Turkey and other member states are more concerned about regional conflicts and illegal migration;

📌 NATO planners believe a 'direct invasion' of a member country by Russia is unlikely in the near future.

you know I've been thinking... Why can't the Nigerian government hire PMC to tackle the insecurities and fight the terrorist in the north? At least we know the Wagner have better experience than us, so why can't we hire them?
The cooperation of the Sahel states with Wagner might start to drive those terrorist from the countries into Nigeria. Is there any reason why we can't hire PMCs?

⚡American Enterprise Institute (AE) research estimates that China's true military spending is $710.6 billion.

This calculation is 3x larger than Beijing's self-reported totals and several billion dollars higher than estimates from the US intelligence community.

$710 billion for the actual production of necessary military hardware and weapons, not for sponsoring terrorism around the world or military bases. If this information is true, the US should be concerned about China.

You definitely a layman....Your analogy is useful for market women and your informal trading in Ogbe market. cheesy


Now back to formal....merging ministries does not equate less spending...

Assume merging ministry of education with humanitarian affair, that does not translate to reduction in allocation, if ministry of education is having 31 staffs plus the boss and humanitarian affair is have 29, when merged 29+30-1=48 it is insignificant. That's is exactly what been done here.


What Javier is trying to is create a kind super ministers who will oversee works of the closed ministries...that ain't gonna reduce shit!

We've seen this before....

Yet again!!! This has happened about 9 times in 8 months.China aggressively bullying Philippines in the South China Sea. It wasn't a collision, it is a deliberate attempt by the Chinese vessel. Then spraying water cannon at another country's vessel in an international water that overlaps many countries EEZ. What an aggressive bullying from CCP. THE world won't see this now.

Samsung is almost 20% of South Korea’s GDP. Their assets account for almost 40% of the nation’s GDP.

Samsung became a global powerhouse by providing value to South Korea. They’re not just selling gadgets to the country, they are growing the economy.

As Samsung grows, so does South Korea economy grow with it.

Nigerians so called billionaires, what are their contribution to the economy? How has their billions impacted society? Name one village that benefitted from any of the businesses billionaires.

How can you be a billionaire, and there is no value being created from your ecosystem?
Just pumping and dumping stocks on the NGX.

This is why Nigeria is the way it is. Business in Nigeria is not about creating value, it’s about extracting and exploiting the common man.
It’s always one man’s business and when the owner is dead, so goes all the so called billions or millions Naira investments.

Finally, someone providing excellent constructive criticism of Nigeria. I believe everyone can resonate with this sentiment. Additionally, to supplement your point, many of these billionaires accumulate their wealth with assistance from the Nigerian government, either directly or indirectly. What are they contributing back to society, apart from further exploiting the citizens? I've heard that recent changes in electricity laws now permit private individuals to generate power. Why aren't more people taking advantage of this opportunity?
