Iraq has lost its sovereignty. Those who support the U.S. in this brutal show of force should know they have no inclination with Israel, it was Lybia, Syria, Afghan and presently Iran, it could be Nigeria tommorow.

America never does anything for the love of God except looking to reap massively from it.

Nigerians are too religious and uninformed to see it's not about Muslim and Christian. Even the Israel you so support has more Muslim population than Christians.

When Iran stops funding terrorism and militia groups by proxy, just may be we can have some sympathy for them..... undecided

Lol who be this one again this early morning. So why did they invaded Iraq then?

They invaded Iraq because isil started trooping in from Syria to iraqs western province. That was their excuse.
U.S presence in Iraq is due to Iran influence in the country and Isis

Can America leave the country that has oil? They went their with lies, the killed without mercy, that destroyed the country with their propaganda, they sponsored the local militants, they caused confusion for the once prosperous nation and dumbly they are threatening them with sanction when asked to leave the sovereign country.

And one daft telling me America is not a terrorist.

What is Boko Haram? A terrorist group.
What is Iran? No1 sponsor of terrorist around the world.
What is Nigeria facing today in the North? Terrorist.
What is USA doing? Helping to stop terrorist from the root (Iran) which in turn will cut off financial and military supplies to groups like Boko haram.

I hope you can now see how they are contributing to our welfare and more importantly, killed the foreign affairs illiteracy in you.

Boko Haram has no links to Iran. Boko Haram is linked with ISIS. Iran has been fighting and defeating ISIS and Al Qaeda, and is opposed to their local reps like Boko Haram and Al Shabab.


ISIS and AL Qaeda are Saudi-funded groups, and the Saudis are US allies.

So ISIS and AL Qaeda are proxy terrorist groups sponsored by the west and its gulf allies.

Hezbollah and Hamas are Shia militant/terrorist groups backed by Iran.

So each side has its own ''terrorists''.

This is what many of you Nigerians cannot seem to understand. That the issue is more complex than your simplistic summations.

You are not seeing the fact that Iraq is fast becoming a war zone for the U.S. and Iran. A major general of Iran was killed on Iraqi's soil because of Intel. they had on him in Iraq. If there is a possible retaliation as threatened, it might likely be targeted at U.S. bases in Iraq. It even happened a few hours after the death of Quassem. 5 people were said to be injured. Think about it, what is Iraq fast become?

I'm not sure Iraq asking the U.S. to leave was an easy decision for them in the first place owing the ISIS battle the U.S. had just won but weighing their options and seeing the loss of their own military officer caught in the cross fire of the death of Quassem Seleimani, they began to have a rethink.

Get your facts right. Obama didn't invade Libya. NATO did. The invasion by NATO forces were laid by France and UK. Obama and the US came in to join the allied forces reluctantly much later.

That's why I don't talk to kids. Now you want a new argument while ignoring the substance of what I stated. Boko Haram gave fuel to ipob, and if you are ignorant of things they are likely going to affect people's lives this year. Obama or NATO whatever you want to call it, empowered Boko Haram militantly from Mali, Niger, Chad and then Borno. It's something kids like you won't grasp.

The US commits terror acts as much as these fanatical Islamic groups. But you see one as white and the other black.
Na God go help una sha. InshaAllah
yeah ,the US also told me about Iswap beheading Nigerians as revenge for the death of a man in iraq,or the US also told me about bokoharam ,or maybe it was the US that told me about the attack on non-Muslims in kano some years ago over a cartoon made in Denmark ,huh?i don't need the US to tell me anything,here in Nigeria you Muslims are a typical example what Islam depicts.

The north is as volatile as they come,living in the north as a non-Muslim is like living in a war zone ,you never know when the next bomb will drop.Christians in the north and their communities are currently being decimated ,they claim its herdsmen but we know it has religious undertone.


I will still say it again,with no apologies ,if any Muslim country was a world power like America. They would have forced the entire world to become Muslims and level countries who resist to the ground with atomic bombs and bio warfare.

Insha allah you say? I was expecting allakuarba or whatever you people shout before daggering people or blowing them up undecided

At least anyone with a working brain can now see Americans for who they are, the great DEVIL. You invaded a country, the country tell you to leave, you said you will sanction them economically. Who invited you in the first place. That's how they kill Gaddafi for nothing. No empire last for ever. The Americans will meet their Waterloo someday. DEVIL WORSHIPERS.

I like Trump but this last one is the straw that broke the camel's back. He is just endangering the world recklessly. His recklessness is tilting the balance of the world.


You like Trump but he is endangering the world, Hey you lying SOB, Is the life of the 600+ Americans that were lost courtesy of this terror general less important than his? So the Iranians can do whatever they want, kill whoever they want without endangering world peace but Americans can't retaliate?

You are not mentioning the US diplomat that was killed by those terrorists being headed by the assassinated commander.. Trump vow to avenge the death of that diplomat with a big price for Iran.. Iran keeps poking hands inside the eyes of US and keep thinking the fear of war will deter the US from responding but Trump just proved enough is enough.. Even when things were looking rough between US and Russia, Russia said they won't like to feel a war with US.. Iran is too small to humble the US..

Lies
If the USA wanted to stop Boko Haram they wouldn't have invaded Libya in the first place. Gadaffis sons got enough of the weapons and cash they had to distribute to Alqaeda in Libya.
So as customary the alq-im had to find body soldiers and Boko Haram was ripe coming from their discontent with Yusuf's killing by the npf.
It was the perfect hideout for gadaffis sons, but now we are how that has morphed into a national disgrace. Let's stop this shameful talk, the u.s like other countries are just responsible for all the nonsense happening in the world.
When trump withdrew troops from Syria, Isis fighters broke out of jail, it is public record. There was no record of trump rounding them up. So where are some of the Isis fighters on the loose?
Let me ask you, how old where you when the Iraqi invasion started? Iraq was already weak politically. But now it is not the same with Iran. The death of this man has emboldened them and Iraq already gave US the boot. So who is now the oppressor and the aggressor? Who is the one actually dousing the fire here? Stop speaking from a point of ignorance and actually see behind the media manipulation of your brain.

They left in 2011 after the Congress signed a bill because 60% of Americans felt the war was a mistake and needless , they all voted for a withdrawal. they invaded their land again in 2013 with the excuse that they were looking for isis. Now they are telling you to pack your bags and go. The best they could say is they would pay for all their bases and money spent if they leave. That's funny.

Lol, when isis was gaining more territory in Iraq and killing the iraqi military forces, the US provided air support and intelligence to the Iraqi military and acted as an advisor to them providing them with Intel and supplying their military with sophisticated weapons, so why didnt Iraq rejected USA help?, after Isis gain more territory in Iraq it was devastating cos of the amount of casualties recorded in the short amount of time while Isis territory, hostages kept increasing which lead to many displayed citizens which received aids and support from the USA, so why didn't Iraq rejected their help.


In August 2014 Obama sent troops to Iraq to help in the fight of isis which other countries such as Canada, France led-coalition on Iraq to fight Isis. The US trained over 170,000 Iraqi soldiers, teaching them how to fight and kill Isis, providing them with weapons to kill Isis and take back their territory ,so why didn't Iraq asked the USA to leave then? The war against Isis lasted for 3years 2014-2017 in which over 150,000 Isis members was killed and the the USA and it's allies lost close to 80 fighters in the fight but victory was achieved in 2017 when Isis fighter was defeated and pushed out of Iraq, now the Iraqi parliament wants to order the removal of foreign troops in their country, and do you think some of them don't know about the misdeeds of soleiman? Even some of the citizens was jubiliating after the assassination of soleiman. Iraqi parliament should had asked the US Army to leave there country in 2014 when they provided Intel, weapons, intelligence, support, aids, training to their military and country.

I have been a big supporter of Trump since I can remember. I have read his books of which my favourite being "Think Big." I download a lot of his campaigns, speech, debates of which my favourites are his third debate again Hilary Clinton when he was enmeshed in a locker-room talk scandal and his State of the Union Address in congress last year. I also love his first U.N. address that held no bound or restriction. I model after him and his books guide my thinking. His book, Think Big, is my second best after Robert Greene's 48 laws of power.

From reading his books, I understand Trump perfectly and know what he can do and what he wouldn't. That doesn't mean I can't criticise him. I'm exposed to international journal and have history at my fingertip.

I don't follow blindly because I like you. I'll criticise you if I have to. The only reason many of you keep dragging us backward in Nigeria is because you don't bother thinking with your heads anymore immediately you've love a leader. That's why Buhari still has cult-like followers and the ineffectual buffoon of a former President hasn't been stoned.
