LordAdam16:


Because peace is expensive!

The entire world should be paying tax to America for keeping a semblance of stability on the planet.

Even with the number of US and Allied bases on the planet, look at how many conflicts and skirmishes are ongoing.

Russia annexed Crimea in Ukraine. China is building artificial islands and seizing territories of its neighbors. North Korea has thousands of artillery facing down on South Korea. Kenya is conducting operations in Somalia. Rwanda is participating in the Second Congo War. And let's not start with the Middle East.

This is the real world. The strong bully the weak.

And the only person wielding the big stick is America. Take them out for one year and every continent from Europe to Africa will be embroiled in never-ending crises. Even us in Nigeria will not be spared. Our fellow Nigerians in the North will import the Middle Eastern/Mediterranean feud over here. Our naive fellows in the South will choose sides as well.

You wake up in the morning, go to work, head home when you close, rinse and repeat; and you think that security you enjoy costs nothing.

I'm not saying America is perfect. But what are our alternatives? Putin. Xi. Kim. Rouhani.

Those guys would meet up, divide the planet, and anybody, ethnicity, or nation who coughs will be deleted without hesitation.

So as you go to bed tonight, say a prayer for the 1.4 million American military service personnel and their allies the world over who maintain the current world order. If you hate it so much, migrate permanently to Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, or Syria. Then lets see how long you last after you question anything about the ruling regime.

-Lord

America starts more conflicts than it solves so military investors can get rich selling weapons and trading resources. So you basically want the rest of the world to pay America so they don't get invaded, that sound very much like how a mafia operates.

you said peace is expensive, that's is because humans are greedy.
Tell me what kind of peace Americans brought to post gadaffi Libya.
Tell me the version of peace Americans brought to post Saddam iraq.
Or what grade of peace did Americans sold to Syria.
Americans are the ones over throwing legit governments who happened to be against American economic interests.
The war in Vietnam is uncalled for but because the French wanted a regime change,the French and Americans went to war against Vietnam, Dr King and Muhammad Ali stood against their government because of that.
Americans have been causing instability world over.
Look at Obama for example,he stood against gej because he felt he has the right to dictate to every African leader.
Yar adua and gej being learned fellows gave me hope about the Nigeria project,a time when technocrats we're at the helm of affairs.
The likes of health Minister,madu,
The agriculture Minister,akinwumi adeshina,
The minister of power,Prof chinedu nebuo.
Obama supported buhari because the Americans have always wanted Africa to be backward.
All patriotic African leaders always end up tragically courtesy of USA.
How is the USA giving the world peace with the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons.
America is the number one terrorist of the world

Ok so during Obama's time Iran did not attack US assets but somehow that's worse than Trump's time where they are attacking US military assets?

The money was Iran's money don't get it twisted. It was money that got frozen during sanctions not the US dashing them money.

Money is money.

They included 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three British nationals, according to a tweet from Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko.

You should be more concerned about the state of security and governance in Nigeria, rather than comparing Obama's tenure to that of Trump.

LordAdam16:
Of course they had to stand down.

Iran shot down 2 expensive US drones. No response.
Iran blew and seized oil tankers. No response.
Iran took out a significant part of Saudi's oil installations, equivalent to 5% of global oil output. No response.
Iran attacks US military base killing one American contractor and injuring 4 US soldiers. No response.
Iran prods their militia to attack US embassy in Baghdad in an attempt to sack it.

Trump finally said, "Enough". He took out their top-ranking general in one precision strike.

That's a President. That's a deterrent. Not that useless oaf called Obama.

If Iran had killed another American yesternight with their launches. By now, it'd have been raining fire and brimstone in Tehran!

Iran can sabre-rattle all it wants; but if it tries any of the nonsense it had done in the past few months again, there'll be hell to pay.

Trump just told Iran, "my craze pass your own." Do anyhow you see anyhow. Two seconds.

Iran is scared of a full blown war looking at the condition of their neighbour Iraq ,ever since the 2003 war with USA that country has never remained the same. The best Iranians can do is carry out a kind of propanganda attack just for ppl to know they still have small bite and that they aren't coward, in reality we know they don't want war with US

In their own space. If Iran had done what US did, your dull brain would reason differently. You're hypocrite.

Again, you lied. And you're hypocrite. Britain seized Iran oil tanker and reciprocated. You knew that of course but something inside your brain just wasn't working correctly. Lol

Iran took out a significant part of Saudi's oil installations, equivalent to 5% of global oil output. No response.

How conveniently to accuse Iran, it could be USA for all what we knew and didn't know. Is there any evidence that proved Iran was behind it? Of course, no.

Iran attacks US military base killing one American contractor and injuring 4 US soldiers. No response.

That was in response to what? And of course, a baseless accusation. [/quote]

Lol. Trump already backed down coz his advisors already told him it won’t be in the USA interest to go to war with Iran.

Iran even informed the Iraq government before the strike, so they don’t want loss of live in the army base but rather passing a message to the USA that they are in the game.

He said he is sanctioning Iran economically rather than responding with a military solution.

He also said he will be looking forward to Iran cooperation with the USA for peace in the Middle East.

Sometimes power is not enough, there are many things that might go wrong if USA attacks Iran coz the Middle East will be far more chaotic and it will have a counter effect on the neighbors of Iran and Europe in general in terms of migration.

Either way, no more WW3. Hence Nairaland local war analysts can go to rest now!


You go school at all?
Iran did it to calm their citizens, it's not like they can't shoot down people there or they can't get the target precisely but they deliberately missed the target just to save face.
