If the Soviet Union and the United States have not experienced direct military confrontations, on the other hand, they supported, armed and trained Africans, to fight other Africans.

The point is, once they have a missile that can hit the United States, we are now back in the kind of game we used to worry about with the Soviet Union, only the Soviet Union was more mature about this whole thing than I think the North Koreans will be.

Turkish Heritage Endures
Military milled protecting state
its 1991 Saddam Hussein is rattling
sabres in Kuwait controlling oil
after years of enduring this deadly
viper on the Turkish border supported
by military and financial aid and
diplomatic and moral support
from the Soviet Union, China, France,
and main ally the United States
tables are suddenly turned
Saddam is out Western Allies;
line up for the proverbial kill
so swiftly is American firepower
turned upon former allies; in this
neck of the woods where allegiances
so swiftly change American supported
today on presidential hit list tomorrow; yet
Türkiye in true spirit of Kemalism endures...

Bush's war in Iraq has done untold damage to the United States. It has impaired our military power and undermined the morale of our armed forces. Our troops were trained to project overwhelming power. They were not trained for occupation duties.

Africans
Africans at this hour of the day deserve an atonement,
And in the name of the looted wealth during Slavery Days;
But, do think very well before you tread on this issue.
Blind justice,
But it is time to push harder and harder! !
And to create the atmosphere of blameless error,
For there are more stories to say about the Slavery.
Physical death doesn't separate a man from a woman,
Because in the way of Yahweh they are always united forever!
But, i am only writing to the one who knows the law.
Africans need atonement in many ways,
For our past stories are still recorded in our minds;
And peace is right here at our fingertips.

The Russian drama began at the end of 1991, when the Soviet Union mercifully ended. Russia and 14 other new countries emerged from the ruins of the Soviet Union. Every one of those 15 new states faced a profound historical, economic, financial, social and political challenge.

Face Of Jackal God Mubarak Gnaws Egyptian Bone
Behold face of jackal god hosni
as orders sly chaos across sands
burn new mall order camel charge
Tahrir Square blow up oil pipeline
hear senile whisper there will be chaos
in Saddamish Hitlerish destruction order
I jackal order... survived assassination
dark secret police secrets let me rule more.
Hell no I won’t go I’m alias Soviet Union trained
in air force I US $40 billion to $70 billion gained.
My solution to opposition nuke it seek and destroy
I resurrected Soviet one party state Egypt is my toy.

Either the United States will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States. And when we call for education we mean real education. We believe in work. We ourselves are workers, but work is not necessarily education. Education is the development of power and ideal. We want our children trained as intelligent human beings should be, and we will fight for all time against any proposal to educate black boys and girls simply as servants and underlings, or simply for the use of other people. They have a right to know, to think, to aspire.

Africa
Black skins immaculate souls
we are Africans, the pride
of the creator, from kilimanjaro
he veiw the world, that makes
Africa the continent of God.
we are Gold mix with diamond
the wind from the west ship us
out now we are sky, never
desolated we are African.
The ego of mama africa possess
our blood so our tails are far
from dust. Beauty is black so
we are the face of the earth the
home of the seven rivers, the
voices of fascinating creatures
pin the jungle made us believe
that black is the is the race and
Africa the root, in unison we beat
our chest to that.We are Africans.
