can they fight God??

Nothing concerns God here. People living in Israel today are not hebrews, they are white men from Europe.

Also leave bible out of real life issues.

I really like your examples especially the part where they will kill sorwon and Yorubas will come out to mourn...
Sowore wasn't tagged a terrorists, and his revolution is accepted by people all over the country, infact most yoruba's don't know him, if Nnamdi Kanu is killed, then I will believe USA is the police of the world. Then, Thousands of Biafra would come out to mourn, Just like millions Iranian and Iraqi mourned Soleimani

Iran despises the US for many things: not least deposing its democratically elected leader, Mossadegh, in the 1950's for no reason other than imperial hegemony and oil control (which would eventually precipitate the Islamic revolution); providing material and tactical support for Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war; shooting down an Iranian passenger plane in Iranian territorial waters, murdering almost 300 passengers in 1988 (and refusing to even apologize); backing Iran's sectarian adversaries, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states in attempts to dictate the affairs of the region; supporting Israel's apartheid state (yes, Iranians do care about the plight of Palestinians); and crippling Iran's economy for decades with punitive sanctions. The Trump administration came in and reneged on a deal Iran signed in good faith with the US and European powers, re-establishing crippling sanctions against Iran even though it was abiding by the nuclear accord. So yes, Iran despises the US and has many reasons to despise the US. Stop talking nonsense about Israel.

Bureaucrats itching to turn US military firepower on a Middle Eastern regime they claim without evidence is plotting an imminent attack. Compliant sections of the media that put flag-waving jingoism ahead of skeptical scrutiny.

This is just as it was in late 2002, when President George W Bush’s administration built unstoppable momentum towards invading Iraq, promising to destroy weapons of mass destruction (WMD) that never existed. Nearly two decades later the potential target is not Iraq but Iran, with many of the same concerns over false pretexts and official lies.


Two countries will suffer while Iran will enjoy...is this how your brain work? Stop speculating ....let's see how it goes if there is gonna be war or not

This is one killing too many ! America as a nation belongs to all ,all mankind. The likes of Mr Trump is equally a beneficiary of america benevolence and as such does not have any right to make any attempt to change this ageless culture fraudulently overnight with his racist approach or views on virtually all issues. By killing Soleimani,Trump has only succeeded in raising the level of threat to lives and properties of Americans. Any reasonable person will understand this. Trump should tread softly not to plunge the whole world into avoidable catastrophe. He should stop playing god that he is not. Trump is insane !

It is so clear even from the on-set that trump just wanted to save his impeachment saga and divert the attention of the world to other things. Why won't you want shiite Muslim to practice their religion. Americans should vote trump out he is a menace to the society with his attitude of hate on Blacks, Muslims and immigrant. Threaten a nation of destroying their historical sites isn't that terrorism? boasting of arms and weapons you build and you don't want others to acquire same weapons cos u afraid of it been abusive. No regards for the sovereignty of a nation. Obama ordered osama bin laden been caught alive or dead why can't trump do the same then if there is a struggle you take him out why outright killing. Saudi Arabian is a problem to the world same thing they are doing in Yemen Syria and Nigeria (El-zaky)

Are you aware that Bill Clinton did the same thing when he was impeached for Lewinsky s3x lies

Though, these can't lead to any world war, but the truth should be said. Why would U.S just invade someone else's country and kill someone, because he was tagged terrorist. If that's the case, why can't U.S. just help us kill Nnamdi Kanu, because Nigerian government tagged him and his group terrorists. Hundreds of thousand of Iranian and Iraqi came out to mourn his death. Nnamdi Kanu would also be mourn by the Igbos, if killed. There is different between a "tagged terrorist" and a "terrorists proper", Souleiman was loved by his people, and they are not happy with U.S being on their land, U.S should take her soldiers away from Iraq and Iran and should let go their oil. This is more of politics than war, just like in the case of Nigeria.

He was tagged terrorist by the US and they have the power to execute their wish against him.
Why do you think anyone sacrifices and works hard to succeed in life and have power?
Simple.
To oppress the lazy bones who can't do likewise.
Do you treat the rich people in your family/town the same way that you treat the paupers?
If a rich kid rapes a pauper's child, won't they settle the matter "amicably"?
If the pauper's child dares rape a rich kid, his balls will be fed to the dogs first before he is roasted alive, literally.
Get real Oga and hustle for your tribe/race instead of wailing and whining about America dealing with inconsequential Kanu.

There is a whole lot of home-politics being played in the reactions to this issue. No one is talking about the fact that Qassem Soleimani directed the attack on the U.S. embassy in Iraq that killed a number of Americans. No one is talking about the fact that the rebels his IRGC sponsors attacked a Saudi oil facility with rockets few weeks ago.

And Soleimani was the leader of a 'terrorist organization'—the U.S. had gazzetted the IRGC as a terrorist organisation few months ago. So, legally [as far as the U.S. is concerned], the killing of Qassem is just like that of al Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS.

Fortunately if the reports of 'no-casualty' are true, then it means Iran has adeptly navigated this murky waters: it has fired directly on a U.S. base—enough to assuage the rage within Iran and to keep its national pride. And most importantly, it has made sure there are no casualties on the American side—just enough to not incite the U.S. into retaliation.
Stop d lies. No one was killed in the Embassy attack/protest. The tension was deescalated without any casualty. It's like you don't know how impenetrable that embassy is.
Only one American died in a separate attack that took place earlier. And that was a result of direct conflict between US soldiers and Iraqi rebels.
State facts when you want to engage political discuss or no one will take you seriously.

The fact still remains the same, you shouldn't use your power to intimidate others. Why would they just be building military bases everywhere?, Recently they just came to Nigeria to search our Air port, who can do such to them?, why would you just tag any body you hate terrorists?, just because he is against your opinions, Soleimani fought against ISIS with his life, he was loved by his people, people of Iraq, and even most Israelites, that U.S were using as a reason for attacking them. It's weakedness, and surely everyone would real whet he or she sow

If you cannot use your power to intimidate others, what is the incentive for sacrificing and working hard to accumulate power, which is necessary to create orderliness and efficiencies among groups?
Do you have the answer or you are content with your utopian paradise that exists only in your mind?
Do you know how many people the Oba of Bini, Alaafin of Oyo, Sultan of Sokoto etc killed because they were against the king's opinion and therefore considered threats to the peace of their kingdoms? Do you know how many?

Another thing is that I don't think USA will back down after the missiles Iran fired, they are so stubborn that they will want to prove they are boss and Iran is ready to fight till the last, they don't care who they are fucking up against

A lot of journalist as well as war analysts are saying Iran is too insignificant to slip the world into world war 111. But the truth is that when it comes to war, no one should be underestimated because the toughest of giant risk having his balls chop of when fighting a dwarf .

9/11 was American government bombing its building and killing innocent civilians just to have an excuse to invade iraq.

America is perpetually under "attack" by the owners economically and what they have done and still doing is worst than 9/11.

I won't engage you. "Iraqi rebels" you said. Who has been financing and controlling Hezbollah, Houthis and other rebel groups to attack Saudi [Wahabi], Israeli and American interests in the region? In Nigeria, who is the patron of the non-violent IMN [Shi'ite]?

What do you think is the crux of the whole talk about Iran proxy wars?

Be guided.

P.S.: Fox news is reporting that Iran is refusing to handover the two blackboxes from the crashed Ukrainian airplane that went down in Iran. It is suspected that Iranian air defence forces downed the civilian plane.

You guys need to stop taking the sympathy too far. Iran is not without blood on its hands [just like the U.S.].
