But one strike can't kill the 5k officers right! Remember that they are going to Iran ooo.

I won’t argue with you but I advise you go and read the history of the Sha of Iran . And how the US recently publicly admitted to the things they did.

Saudi Arabia is a monarchy. Thesame Royal family have built and been ruling the country and they take full responsibility for their people.

Iran is a rogue and fraud leadership that came into power by deceit and put their people in bondage they never sign or agreed to.

Some of you are labelling Iran people as terrorists... Educational standard have fallen so bad in Nigeria to point that many of you calling the government of iran terrorists

How can you be a terrorist if you are in government defending your Own country... They were invaded not the other way round

Some of you don't care about people's lives that are lost ..

You only care about show of support and Favouritism towards America..
Yet you dont even benefit anything from your fake loyalty

Rather than praying for the war to end . You are busy picking sides

At least, more than 2,000 of the troops will not return to base alive, while those who will manage to get back will suffer severe PTSD. If you think I'm not saying the truth, ask after some of the servicemen George Bush sent to Iraq and Afghanistan 25 years ago.
and more than 1 million Iranian ratag will be in exchange of 2000 America soldiers

Trump go use this particular issue as an excuse for the senate to allow him enter Iran. Cos na the senate dey hold his hands. If dem allow that orange fatty bom bom do his mind, he go don level the whole of Tehran by now. All the noises from Tehran and their Nigerian supporters would have turned to parades of cries in the street carrying placards to show mass death. A just dey pity these people. See eh...na them go give Trump the power to go and crush them mercilessly in that nation.

The most dangerous job in the world is being an American soldier.
Being a Nigerian or other West African soldier is not the most dangerous work but being an American soldier you claim as the most dangerous work, how many soldiers of Nigeria and our sisters West African countries have died in insurgency for that past 5 yrs compared to American soldiers.
Oga you need to sleep.

Over a thousand is an understatement. You don't even know the figures you dey make noise. Over 4500 and those figures are highly suppressed. Iraq population is 46 million now compare that to 100 million Iranians. Na hell they will enter
Reallyhuh

So it was entireIraq that fought against the IS cus I can see you are saying 100million Iranian so it's entire 100m Iran who will carry gun ba? Ok na.

Iran is 93m not 100m ok and remember US too is 342m so do the plus and minus.

Una go hear word by force..

China cannot dare it because China fears America a lot because America can send China back to 1912, reason China have been trying to avoid any war.


China's economy is not that strong enough to fund an all out war for like 5 years, it will collapse China. It will stop China from manufacturing and the rest of the world that imports from China will refocus and redirect their needs to India, Japan, and other smaller emerging industrial hubs. This will lead to the eventual collapse of China.



And of course US have been looking for a way to dismantle China's economy and influence
North Korea has more of what U.S is warning Iran of, why not dare North Korea.

Is this more than the number of troops they sent to Afghanistan and they failed woefully after 20Years?

Iran is a far more stronger country than Afghanistan.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026/03/13/trump-sends-military-to-open-strait-of-hormuz-by-force/

Donald Trump is deploying 5,000 US marines to the Middle East to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Pete Hegseth, US defence secretary, has approved a request from US Central Command – which oversees American military operations in the region – to deploy part of a Marine Amphibious Ready Group, the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, and the USS Tripoli, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The USS Tripoli was seen in the Bashi Channel, between Taiwan and the Philippines, on its way to the Middle East on Friday night.

Iran said it was closing the strait shortly after the United States and Israel began their attacks on February 28. Iranian strikes have since hit multiple vessels in the area including oil tankers.

Yesterday US officials reported that Iran had begun laying mines in the Gulf channel, which carries 20 per cent of the world’s oil.

The USS Tripoli was stationed out of Japan and would take around two weeks to reach the Mideast.

Trump is too egotistical. After all the sweet mouth of finishing Iranian navy and their capabilities, why do you still need 5k troops for that small strait?

To be a soldier is not easy o, no wonder Fela called them zombie.
5k will not be enough. They need at least a million if they are going to do anything on the ground

And that's why the terrorists regime kills its own people? And that's why instead of minding the business they shout death to Israel and the US?

I'm not saying US is perfect but they are far better than these rouge terrorist leaders.
