Without getting into another Muslim bashing thread, anybody know much about these lot? It seems they're running riot in Nigeria, making a whole mess of the Eastern side of the country. Nigeria's a 50/50 Muslim/Christian country more or less, there's every chance this could escalate into something much, much more serious if they carry on the way they're going, if they're trying to implement an Islamic state I fear for the Christian population under their current rule. Meanwhile, the African nations cup just carries on as normal. Cameroon separates Nigeria from the host nation, Equatorial Guinea. Am I right in thinking that one of the biggest terrorist cells in the world operating a boat ride away from a huge continental tournament? No great deals being made out of this by the media like they did with Israel/Gaza and ISIS. Be interested to find out why. Why doesn't America want to intervene like they do everywhere else? Arms trading is my best guess. please log in to view this image
Nigeria doesn't have anything the USA needs. That's why they're not getting involved. That and a chickenshit President scared of his own shadow.
I'd say the opposite, I'd say they're not getting involved because they don't want to rock the boat over the thing they do want. Two words, Jews & Diamonds. Once the diamond market is manipulated to exclude Judisum you can bet your arse the Yanks will take an interest.
Must admit I saw the title of this thread and thought - Didn't they sing "A Whiter Shade of Pale" still that's what age does for you
Nigeria is flush with natural resources mate, natural gas, oil, gold, iron ore they have some of the biggest projects going. Africa has the blood money trades though, ethical issues arise and put legitimate people off. I can see logic in the 2nd part though, the territory is probably a huge factor as to the Yanks not wanting to get a peace of it, **** going into there for a scrap.
Why do the Yanks need rid of the Jews from the diamond trade mate? What would not going into Nigeria have to do with appeasing the Jews? I'm not piecing this together very well, I'm probably just being a bit thick.
The biggest industry in Nigeria is diamond mining I do believe, Yank Jews are probably the biggest customers in the world. There are Diamond wars going on in Nigeria, The US will be watching very closely picking their moment carefully imo.
No idea mate, don't know where you got that from. My point is Religion and industry are intertwined in Nigeria. When 'Islamic state' decides they don't want to trade with other religions it will cost the US Billions with the loss of diamond trade because the almost the entire US diamond industry is run by Jews. I didn't mean the Yanks want rid of Jews fella.
You already answered before I asked the question! I'm with ya now. India take a lot of diamonds, ironic really since they discovered them and sold them before anybody else! South Africa has a huge amount of diamonds and gold, but according to legend, one or two families control the amount of diamonds entering the world markets per year, to keep the stones value. Apparently, so I hear, the Russians have enough of the stones to self destruct the industry, making it worthless. National debt is something I have read a lot on, regarding America, the way they're going, they're going to need a miracle or to discover some very valuable assets of their own, one way or another to appease their creditors.
Some would say they hold all the power but they're happy to let the yanks play the ringleader. Make no mistake, the yanks would wipe the floor with them on a military level, same as I would be able to kick **** out of Anderson Silva's pet chihuahua but I wouldn't like to think what the consequences could be!
It's about fingers in pies init. The Russians are everywhere, can effect or manipulate all avenues of financial markets. More dangerous than any military imo.
Oh yeah, especially with Vlad in charge! Boko Haram, a terrorist cell in Africa... I guess the yanks have bigger issues to deal with, and it's widely accepted for centuries that African people's lives are worth **** all so why not just carry on the age old trend! That's not my opinion by the way, for the benefit of anybody who is incredibly thick.
http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/u...th-boko-haram-john-kerry-649240?ndtv_alsoread US Secretary of State John Kerry says he and his British counterpart are discussing a special initiative to deal with the Boko Haram extremist group in Nigeria and its neighbours. want that means 'special initiative' not entirely sure -however its likely to send more flak our way
Special initiative usually means they'll advise the UN to ask them to stop it. Flawless, what could go wrong?
Thought the UN were out there or is that somewhere else? There`s that much **** going on all over the globe with these bastards I lose track.
I've no idea mate, I posted the thread selfishly to steal all of you lot's knowledge on the subject, not something I've paid much attention to. Diddles sums it up with that translation, couple that with the mythbuster revelation that not all Islamic extremism is based on western forces occupying their country and I don't know where to begin with these guys. If they start systematically exterminating innocent Christians, I'd imagine that the shizzle is gonna hit the fizzan.
