Nigeria is the second largest petroleum producer in Africa

-$100,000,000 of taxpayer dollars

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

Comparing yourself to a lion and your enemies to rats.

Where have we heard that one before...

In authoritarian North Korea, the general public is forbidden from accessing popular media that portrays their enemy in a positive light

Notes for communist revolutionaries:

If you don't use an iron fist, your detractors will say you use an iron fist to crush dissent and they will manipulate the will of the people against you. After you fail and your supporters are rounded up and executed, they'll blame the failure on your ruthless authoritarianism.

If you use an iron fist, your detractors will say you use an iron fist to crush dissent, and you may lose favor among the people. You may find yourself doing questionable acts to hold onto power. However, you may actually succeed. Your detractors will say you are a ruthless authoritarian.

Sucks for the blood spilled in the second choice, but at least you'll have something to show for it when the dust settles

Honestly unsettling as a concept. "Foreign country, regardless of any atrocity, has my unconditional support".

ill speak for Americans, but people all over the world beware. beware of foreign influences. dont be xenophobic and afraid of culture. but people need to realize that russia and china are not friendly. China is mainly the enemy of the world, they have their hand dipped in everyones pocket and control most of russia and america imo.

but our foreign enemies are trying to divide us Americans. with political parties, race wars, social issues, just like everything this post has stated.

we need to come together as Americans, no matter our colors, background, views. we need to realize that it truly is us against the world and to turn on eachother is a grave mistake.

Some real brain geniuses over there
