Afonja Muslims are masturbating, lamenting and analysing the USA capability of handling any crisis that will result from this. They think the USA is like NIGERIA. They will sure protest against this killing after preaching in the mosque today. Lol!

Kerfuffle:
"The flag of General Soleimani in defense of the country's territorial integrity and the fight against terrorism and extremism in the region will be raised, and the path of resistance to US excesses will continue. The great nation of Iran will take revenge for this heinous crime"—Hassan Rouhani, President, Islamic Republic of Iran.

It's funny how many people chose to tow the path of stupidity as shown in their comments.

There's almost no way America will remain the United States of America after the lapse of this decade.
Trump obviously wants war, and this time, this war (and subsequent ones it'll possibly trigger) will consume not only him, but his nation too. This time, the battle will not end on US bases across the world, Mainland US must get a taste too.

Iran is not one jungle like that in West Africa whose inhabitants will wait for God to come and fight their battles rather than utilizing the facilities he has blessed them with. Iran Will never take this lying low, they will strike effectively and catch the United Srates of America off-guard.

The Dollar is already getting shaky, debts are off the roof, plenty hidden enemies and couple with the fact that the world has already had enough of US'es bullshit. 2020 is laced with surprises.

Some children who are better off reading their Integrated Science textbook or at best preparing for jamb are also giving naive comments.


Trump wants a war yet he is the first and only USA president to step his foot in the Korean peninsular to meet Kim whom everyone say is evil even tho the Koreans are still technically at war. He wants war yet he has wounded up the Obama Nobel laureate's ISIS war in Syria, he wants war and yet he refused to retaliate when Iran was busy shooting down American drones and seizing ships.
Save this for the liberals and the pig headed islamists in the Middle East....

War with Iran would have a global effect. This is coming at the time Russia, China and Iran plan to have a joint military drill. Did Trump actually think Iraq in Iran in 2020? War with Iran would likely be the last country US would ever invade in human history.

They are not even the size of two US states

No be by size. Today, due to her nuclear might, Iran posses one of the biggest threats to world security. Again, being a major supplier of global crude, Iran can cause global economic crises if provoked. The US and other world powers know this, hence, their preference for negotiation with Iran.

The days of open warfare are largely over. Iran will sponsor more jihadists to hit at American interests. That kind of asymmetric warfare the US can never win.

Donald Rumsfeld said as much during the Afghanistan war after 9-11 when he tried to overhaul the US military to be less cumbersome and more light and agile.


They should continue sponsoring jihadists
And the next on the hit list will be ayotollah and the Iranian prime Minister. America has proven they can take down anybody when they are ready.

More crises for Trump and an average American. This is unnecessary. Trump is committing a huge mistake by canceling the initial agreement reached with Iran.

Firstly, US can't even manage the ongoing crises she created in the past with Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya and others. Who's advising Trump? Crises in Libya is still a crisis in some parts of Europe. Germany already has millions of refugees from Syria. These are countries of smaller populations yet you seriously want to destabilize another country of 70-80 million people all at once.

The entire America with Europe would have a serious impact if Iran is set into crises. In fact, the entire world feel this impact because by the time 40 percent of oil output is cut off due to total blockage of Strait of Hormuz. The global market would respond immediately. This is not a wise choice. Even in Nigeria, a litre of petrol may go as far as N500


Trump did not start any Crisis, He is just being smart and I beleive trying to outsmart them.

Do you think is a kind of country to trust? With all their so called proxy wars.

I don't think Trump made a mistake and He cannot also easily fall into going into War with them.

Lolz. The truth is that we're in fact overestimating them. That's what they want. If you're afraid that I may have an AK-47, you won't attack me. We don't know, but all the western media have always been used by the US to project the US as very powerful. Russia developed the world's most powerful missile defence system and the whole world didn't know about it until it was deployed.

Only if you understand the true thinking of an average American, you won't be posting that false narrative.
They are still bellyaching about the war that Bush started many many years ago. It has cost trillions and more than 4000 American lives.
In fact Trump himself used his stance against the war to win election, he promised to bring all American troops home. Oh well, its easier to campaign than to make promises than to fulfill them.

F-35S obsolete? Please what makes F-35 series obsolete? Guess you have been reading a wrong piece on the internet. IDF just took delivery of another squadron.........S-400? This has already been circumvented by the IDF.
The future of warfare isn't in the air? Are you a military strategist who knows better than Pentagon? Here this, in conventional war, no nation comes close to the US in weapons, strategies, logistic and capabilities to strike from anywhere in the world. War with Iran does not translate to war with Russia and China as these two countries will only watch.

For years, Isreali defense force-IDF has been striking Iran interests in Syria and Iran has not responded.

Any war between the US or Russia will go nuclear and both nations won't do such a stupid thing.

The F-35 is a 5th gen fighter. Some countries are already in the 6th gen. There's so much hype on the F-35 because it was going to be a fighter to end all fighters, but the development took too long and in the end, when its deployment was completed, there were already many systems available to circumvent it. I've not been reading a wrong piece, I get first-hand information. I may or may not be a military strategist. I may not know better than the US, but I'm sure they themselves already know that the future of warfare isn't in the air. The US has the highest military budget, but do you know a bulk of that budget is expended in servicing their military bases around the world? War with Iran will degree to a world war, that's why the US Congress is already condemning the strike. Right now, Russia is only sitting on the sidelines, they didn't play a heavy role in Syria. Of course countries will buy US weapons. If you're an ally of the US they won't allow you buy from other countries.

Will Iran give President Trump what he wants? I doubt.

Trump wants war with Iran. He knows a wartime President has a higher hopes of being reelected as fear and uncertainty bonds people with their responsive leaders. Just as George Bush jnr got reelected because of the 911 attack and consequent war and Obama was handed a reelection with his reaction to the hurricane that happened close to his reelection.

Iran is too much of a chicken hearted coward that thrive in noise making to enter into a war with America. The Ayatollah is biish who loves to cling to power and knows a war ith America will threaten his position. Nothing will happen from this. Infact, Iran might secretly seek to pacify America cos Ayatollah is peeing in his pants by now.

Assassinating General Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander - Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis - is a big pre-election gamble by Trump. Iran will directly or indirectly surely avenge this.

Talk like this is why people like you cannot be President! A rogue attacks your embassy with intent to kill your citizens there, and you still don't understand that attacking a country's embassy is the direct equivalent of attacking the country that owns the embassy. Why do you think Julian Assange was holed up in Ecuador's embassy in London for several years without the British Police attempting to force their way in and arrest him right away??

The job of a President is to guarantee the security of his country and her citizens, so if his country is attacked, he will be either stupid or weak (like Obama) to not punish the attackers.

In your show of concern on the issue of raising tensions and what not, WHY DIDN'T YOU SCOLD IRAN FOR BEING STUPID TO ATTACK A COUNTRY'S EMBASSY? WHY WAS YOUR SCOLDING ONLY DIRECTED AT THE USA WHO WERE THE VICTIMS IN THE FIRST INSTANCE? It is because of people like you who keep making oppressors like Iran feel invincible that those oppressors keep getting more emboldened to commit more aggression.

You're being economical with your earlier comment.
If not that all foreign opinions largely supported Finland do you assume they would have gone that far?
There are many authors account of the Winter War. USSR might have suffered the highest casualties but their military strength forced Finland to a Peace Treaty to secede 11% of Finland territory.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War

Wikipedia compiled the account of the event by various authors and historians.

Iran is having issues with its citizens thanks to the west. I am not a big fan of Iranian government either. However, the alternative is a story of bombs, deaths, rape, torture etc. Look around, history of citizens toppling the government always end with huge sacrifices. It doesn't help that we live in a world where countries are more actively interested in establishing superiority by any means necessary than promoting democracy, world peace or human rights.

Either way, less powerful countries are doomed. If Iranian citizens should rise up today, it is not going to end soon and it may never end.

isn't that what the US want? more wars means more middle East allies will buy weapons to protect themselves. wars means a better US economy. ISIS is failing so they need another cash crop and Iran will foolishly present it to them as a gift
