⚡Finland has asked the EU for money to support the regions bordering Russia.

At a meeting with von der Leyen, the Finnish Prime Minister asked the EU for help for the eastern regions affected by the closure of borders with Russia.

The Finnish politician asked the head of the EC to contribute to the allocation of €10 billion. Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo also asked the EU for help for the eastern regions bordering Russia during the visit of the President of the European Commission to the country.

He voiced the request during a press conference with the head of the EC.

"It's a security issue, it's a lack of investment issue. Eastern Finland is suffering now. We need the EU to help Eastern Finland, which has suffered from Russian behavior (more precisely, from the imposition of sanctions against Russia by Finland)."

Buhari is the only military head in the history of Nigeria that overthrew a civilian government, if Nigerians head correct he no go smell even chairman.

Biden has been vibrant as a young politician only got worse when he became president.

Buhari was a young, vibrant and intelligent general during his military year's, and he holds the record of kicking chadians military ass during border conflict.


But I guess we can't blame him since he got worse when he became president.

Many people don't even know that much of the US gigantic military budget goes to maintenance and only a part translate into real new armaments. This practice in its current form is unsustainable and is one of the reasons the US would collapse like the Roman empire did.

800 billion this, 900 billion that.

That amount is not even enough to maintain over 800 bases worldwide

60% of that money will be used to line up the pockets of corrupt officials and defense contractors.

So where will money for weapons research even come from?

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?

⚡BBC reporter to US Secretary of State Blinken:

There's catastrophic loss of life in Gaza. In China, where you are visiting now, the US is described as hypocritical.

You ask China to stop sending Russia not even weapons, but components that can be used to make weapons, but you continue to send weapons to Israel.

This erodes the credibility of the US. Not only here in China but all over the world. What do you say?

He would have nothing to say, of course. What do you expect from a two-faced hypocritical bigot.

These guy's are shameless. He even have the guts to say "Russian behavior". You placed sanctions on Russia and closed your borders with the country, forgetting that, much of your people in that part depends overwhelmingly on Russia for their basic necessities and economic survival. Now, you're begging for help and blaming Russia for your folly. This is comic tragedy.
