Smh.

You are naive. Putin is not dumb. He knew Trump's war on Iran was targeted against him and waited it out for the west to burn out their interceptors and expose their hypocrisy at the violation of international law by Trump who decapitated the leadership of a country that is not at war with it.

Now, Putin will do exactly what Trump did and heaven will not fall. Putin will blow up strategic military assets in nations not at war with it.

The west always think others are stupid not knowing that they are the butt of jokes. The western population is the least resilient and likely to sack their leaders by the time Putin descends on them.

Meanwhile, Trump's so called blockade is as useless as the p in psychology

You guys are new to geopolitics.
This guy should get on his leash, Putin will never attack Isreal. The Jewish population in Russia is large and powerful.

This is something I wrote before the war began and it happened as predicted.

Baxilexi:
The US military was stationed near Venezuela for weeks before the attack.
Permutations are ongoing and discussions are being made to help mitigate casualties.
Their allies in the region need to also be ready.
The US signed a pact with Qatar to defend it if ever it was attacked.
Saudi is also a strong ally.
So a lot of preparations are needed.
IRGC will lose everything most certainly but how can the situation be handled to avoid a Palestine repeat, where IRGC uses innocents as human shields.

How does the US reduce damage to both its allies in the region and the Iranians that need liberation, that’s the big question.

Putin paid Trump to be a part of his committee of peace and I’m very sure Trump hinted him.

I also said this about the war

Baxilexi:
He should then.

Calculations are ongoing about the strength of his army and artillery. Most of the weapons he used are made in Iran. Iran falling is a big blow to him. Committing soldiers to ‘finish up Ukraine’ would signal the end of Russia so Ukraine is bleeding him slowly but severely.

And even if he joins the war, he would only supply weapons to Iran because the US never attacked Russia directly but only supplied weapons to Ukraine.

Putin cannot scale up weapon production fast enough to cover the supply shortfall from Iran.
His security council must be having sleepless nights. Again Trump projects a silly persona, but he is an unassuming genius.

Secured his oil in Venezuela,
Secured weapon supply/ production routes in Panama
Secured South America
Attacked Iran… as it stands he controls global energy and weapons supply.

dangermouse:
POTUS, D.J.T you are a man with an iron will. Respect!

You know how to get things done, while naive and ignorant people would always think you talk too much, but then, your words always go out before your actions to instill fear in the hearts of the fear mongers who knows how unpredictable and strong you can be.

I doff my hat.

To Prime minister Netanyahu, the slayer of terrorists, never relent in the face enemies bent on wiping you and your country out of existence.

You have my respect and you have the support of the free world.

More strenght!

People don’t know him.

Revisit his first term in office. He gave Nancy Pelosi hell.
He said he wanted a wall and got it.
People still don’t get it, Trump knows the authority he wields, those close to him say he has the smartest people on earth in his circle so when he speaks there’s always an element of truth.

89green:
Chai, so its Iran who is giving US sleepless nights, now they are sending 10,000 to go and die for Israel

How don’t you see that the US just got a new contract to secure passage of ships in the Arabian Sea, strait of Hormuz and Suez.
If I was the US I’ll sign a deal with Iran, a bit of racketeering, anyone who doesn’t pay will get their ships blown by the IRGC and together we make money.

dappydozzy:
Is homicide and genocide the same ? You are talking about Deborah, no need to stand for her, she is a matyrh, she stood for her faith to gain her eternal life, life does not end here.

But that does not justify a nation killing the most vulnerable in thousands, God will be angered at that, even if you proclaim yourself as God's Chosen. Or are you saying Isreal is defending Christianity ? Absolutely no.

Judaism and Christianity is oil and water. They don't mix. Isreal is just fighting for its own survival and want to keep dominating and which will continually spring conflicts.

The Pilgrimage to Isreal we Nigerians get crazy about is just a revenue boost to the tourism industry of Isreal

You have to unbundle the root cause of the conflict;

Ideology: modern day martyrdom is called genocide depending on who is telling the story.
An example would be, if middle belt communities decided to be defiant and subscribe to martyrdom over their homeland I believe the death toll would be higher.

False rhetoric: the Palestinians have run with the false narrative that only they occupied lands from Gaza to the Jordan river, but looking back at historical maps that is false.

Religious context: the brand of Islam practiced by these lot states that Jews are the enemy. Simple and short.

War: there are conventional ways wars are fought. Soldiers assemble in a terrain and advance to occupy more lands eg Russia -Ukraine. Hamas resistance is terrorism not war. No declaration of war, no battlefront, launching attacks from civilian enclaves, this is madness. Same way their patrons in the IRGC believed that by causing regional/global tension they could steer up sympathy, but that endangers lives and only in the future would people appreciate the difficulty and restraint taken by the US/Isreal to incur minimal civilian damages.

Lastly, this is not about being Christian. Visiting or living in Israel has never been on my travel itinerary, well for now. We don’t believe God lives in houses made of human hands, and those who worship him must know he’s a spirit and worship him in spirit and truth. It’s about respect for humanity, be it 1 or many. Only criminals should be killed, no one should die for religious correctness.

As the birthplace of English the PM should revisit his dictionary and look up the word ally.
The GCC have proven to be better allies even though they suffered collateral damages.

The US always has the UKs back so the PM would do better to stay quiet on the issue. His recent tirades are worsening UK-US relationships and tariffs alone could tank their economy.

How would any right thinking human love the pre-war Iran? The IRGC were gods mouthpieces on earth. A poet, rapper and many regular individuals killed for crimes against God. That kind of leadership should be exterminated.

Look at Nigeria, a government weaponizing the bad economy to slaughter their citizens, sponsoring terrorism (Ukraine has drones as cheap as $3500 and $3m usd would get us enough to secure the north central).

Deborah’s death still traumatizes me, no one stood up for the girl. For people quick to say Isreal kills women and children, no woman advocated for Deborah, the men watched her body char. I will resist any regime that normalizes this.

Idaytesj29:
Israel will be dismantled

Sadly, not in a long time.

Where they are today isn’t by serendipity or luck but hard work and providence. Christian or muslim, you should know their history. They were the most oppressed people on earth. Traded as slaves from one ruler to the other. They are an inspiration to Africans, we can whine about how Europe underdeveloped us or get our brains working and take agency over our lives.

FYI the GCC has made peace with them. With the IRGC flames ebbing away, there would be peace and collective security in the Middle East. An alliance stronger than NATO will be forged.

Arrowhead71:
Because of this shaky attitude and mind of these Europeans....its the reason Putin has no regard or respect for them
Imagine Italy fighting allies because her allies is fighting a common enemy.....ridiculous

I am bemused. All of a sudden the EU is rallying behind the IRGC.
They condemn in the morning and praise at night.
I’m sure if the US was at war with Russia the EU would turn around and rebuke the US for fighting Russia. Insane I tell you.

It’s easy to throw cheap shots at Trump now, but we must all remember that weeks ago, he told the Europeans to come in and open that strait, instead some went behind his back to pay the IRGC, flipping vermin of the earth. They turned their backs and said not our war. All of a sudden the US is taking it by force and they’re condemning the action. Do you want the strait open or not?

How is Trump the crazy one when EU leaders are obviously deranged.
They couldn’t even save Ukraine. All promises to Ukraine was a lie, only Poland really had their backs.
They should go buy oil from the US or Russia. The strait is blocked till further notice.

Comedy half hour.
Time for the EU parody of recent events. Jokers.
I give them 2 weeks to appear in Washington. Any later and they’re toast.

Gotocourt:
Iranians want Shia Dominance

And this is the truth that the lie-mongers on nairaland will never admit to.

IRGC never supported the Lebanese government but created a militia group
They never used diplomacy with the PLO but helped Hamas.
They never helped Iraq but sponsored the PMF.
Using the Iranian people’s wealth to fund intifadas and jihad.

The big question should be, how come so many European nations depend on Isreal for defense? Even Turkey.

She’s a politician so approval ratings are important but I hope she has back-channels because like Ukraine is learning, Isreal has learned that is much more secure to be feared than loved.

The EU should get their sh** together, winter is coming.

Why the IRGCs case is pathetic is, anyone with elementary knowledge of map reading knows that Isreal is not a threat to Iran.

They share no borders or economic channels.

Palestinians are Arabs not Persians, Lebanese are Phoenicians not Persians. The only commonality between Iran and these guys is religion.

So for the IRGC to become obsessed with activities far beyond its borders is counterproductive and self destructive.

The Palestinians share blood with Egypt and Jordan. Leave the Arabs alone!

And if you wish to be a big brother, why not build universities there? Turn the place into Taiwan? Boost trade, commerce and industrialization.

But no, there’s only one way in the extreme Islamic world VIOLENCE, MARTYR.

This is what a supreme/ religious leader should say, not death to an ethnicity and the spread of hate.

I wish Lebanon freedom from Hezbollah and I wish them full reclamation of their land in the south.

Trump told the Ayatollah that he stopped Isreal from killing him last year, Many said Trump was a joker. Voila, they always knew where he was hiding.

A lot of people look at the person of Trump but fail to understand that behind Trump is a network of geniuses spanning from the US to Isreal.

Trump could not send marines to Iran because of the backlash he would’ve faced, but Isreal has shown that, these guys are not in-formidable. Taking the fight to Hezbollah while still staying combat ready for IRGC.
Israeli military is a well placed investment by the US.

The only hold back that the Trump suffers is the democrats. Take away midterm elections and the IRGC would’ve been yesterday’s news.

IRGC cannot have a nuclear weapon but can come under Russia’s nuclear umbrella. Same way most EU countries are under the US nuclear umbrella.

IRGC cannot toll the strait, it will set a bad precedent and countries like Turkey, Singapore, Egypt and Yemen will also toll theirs.

IRGC cannot continue sponsoring proxies. Negotiate with elected officials. If you love Lebanon, improve security by reaching out to the president not Hezbollah. Same with Yemen and Palestine.

IRGC cannot tell the US to leave the region, that’s the prerogative of the host countries.

The other demands are negotiable.

Sundaymessi:
The first rule in war is to know your enemy. This is what Isreal and the US has failed to understand. They underestimated Iran, hoping to repeat the Venezuela style of military operation till date , it has been disappointment upon disappointment. The Iranians love matyrdom. Understand this first and half of your problem is solved.

Iranians are not into the Martyr thing, they have a religious architecture like Nigerian Muslims, an extreme north and moderate south.

All the Iranians I know are secularly minded, they’re more secular than the Turks. They love body enhancing surgeries, tattoos, partying, in brief they love life!

If you’ve noticed, the architecture of this war is way more advanced than what had occurred in the past.
Everything is fluid and even the regime is kept guessing.

There are a lot of moving parts all happening at the same time.
When Trump said he was talking to some people, no one believed him, but today a meeting is holding in Pakistan.

Mossad has always had insiders in the IRGC, so I wouldn’t be surprised if all that’s playing out is a well scripted play.

America spent years in Afghanistan but look at Iran.
Step 1, create a resistance
Step 2, draw the bait, which the IRGC foolishly took
Step 3, disrupt the chain of command and start a war. The truth is the ayatollah’s death has left a massive power vacuum in the country.
Step 4, more assassinations of those who will oppose this deal and the rest, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Mirasteel:
This post reeks of ignorance

Do you support the hanging of a person for a reason know as crime against God?

Emeskhalifa:
As much as I agree with you on let bygone be bygone and let peace reign why should Isreal be the only one with the most superior fire power in the middle East?

What you’ve said is the future. A middle eastern economic & security council. Very similar to EU/NATO.

An attack on one is an attack on all. Together they can design humanitarian laws peculiar to the region.
They don’t need to have a unified currency but trade, commerce, innovation can become borderless.
Barbaric tendencies jettisoned.

I tell you, large volumes of people will want to migrate to this hypothetical Middle East.

dermmy:
2

Reasons they have to get their own nuclear weapons. I think many people like you think it is only U.S that is free to assasinate the leaders of other countries.

Before I tell you what I think, my questions to you are, are you a democrat?
Do you believe people should be hanged for crimes against God?
What kind of man was Ayatollah?

Iran is not the IRGC.

A more tolerant peace loving regime is what’s on the table.

So yes, negotiations have to be made by those who share this agenda. But hardliners will be sent underground.

Emeskhalifa:
If I have a lot of guns, and grenades in my own house as well, I wouldn't have problem with that

And if his is superior to yours?

In defense, posture is important, that’s why North Korea keeps on testing ICBMs. But more importantly is intel.
I remember a case during the Obama’s administration where it was discovered that Angela Merkel’s phone was tapped.
Giving your enemy a chance to strike first and then retaliate against your verified intel and instincts is suicide.

Isreal has signed a pact with Jordan, UAE, Qatar, and it’s willing to continue. Do you deny that some folks just wish every Jew death irrespective of their alleged atrocities?
Japanese don’t plan to kill Americans everyday because of H & N.
Europe doesn’t wish to kill all Germans because of the NAZIs.
If peace should reign, bygones should be bygones.

This right here is what leftists and Europeans have refused to understand.

These guys only push human rights propaganda to cause chaos in the west.

Their bread and butter is death. Isreal lives with them and understands that you cannot switch off for a minute.

He should know that if DJT is killed, Iran wouldn’t be on the map. Simple and short.

KingOfAmebo:
You people keep shouting terrorists without using your cheap phones and data to check the actual meaning of the word...

Name one terrorist organization that have killed 50,000 children apart from the synagogue of satan called State of Israel?

Name one terrorist organization that have killed 165 children in an elementary while they still in school apart from America?

Even if you cannot use your braiin don't let ignorance be an excuse of who the real terrorists are...

BTW, Trump confessed publicly that America gave guns to protesters and USAID have also been accused of funding terrorists worldwide.

Sane people know who the real terrorists are...

Terrorism; in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.[1] The term is used in this regard primarily to refer to intentional violence during peacetime or in the context of war against non-combatants.

Anti-zionism/antisemitism are ideologues shared by many Islamic sects. Their hatred for the Jews is a religious obligation and not reactionary. A Somalian attacking a Jew on the street is an act of terrorism.

You may respond with, what about the girl school that was bombed. It’s regrettable, sad and compensations must be made. On the flip side, who puts a missile storage beside a school for children?

In Palestine, the killings of children and women were classified as avoidable, some women saw it as a duty to fight (as witnessed with ayatollah’s supporters) but Hamas for the larger part used them as human shields. It’s on record that text messages were sent out in advance before strikes, it’s on record that safe zones such as hospitals and schools were being used by the militia group.

Children; a child is anyone less than 18 years. If you understand the demographics of Palestine, it’s expansive. Hamas has a large representation of teenage soldier which are also considered children by the books. We’ve seen the same scenario with Boko haram. So, if a soldier is faced with an armed 13 year old, I believe handing him chocolates will disarm him.

The world saw a small boy walk up to the then ayatollah and request to be a martyr.

Lastly, the west has to understand that, martyrdom is not genocide. Genocide only applies to those who wish not to die, value their lives and those of others and root for peace at all times.

Emeskhalifa:
Some months ago, Isreal said Egypt and Turkey are becoming too strong and should be checked, are there Houtis Hezbollah in Egypt and Turkey too? Besides who gave Isreal the audacity to tell any country in Middle East how to be strong or not? Will same Israel accept that if table should turn?

You have a point. Isreal should not dictate how strong another country’s military should be.

But here’s my question, if you see your enemy, who is also your neighbor, come home one day with a machine gun and grenades will it be of concern to you?

Most of these guys have families back home. So it’s quite ridiculous to hear folks who have never befriended an Iranian to say Iranians want the IRGC.

Same protests across Europe. There’s a group of Iranians asking Trump to equip and enlist them in ground operations and they’re willing to fight in Iran.

God bless the good Iranians and may they enjoy the beauty of the country to come in peace. One more prosperous and beautiful than the UAE and Qatar combined.

How about disarming Hezbollah?

The people of Lebanon never wanted to be a part of this war.

It’s quite mischievous to think Isreal hates the Lebanese people. They’re one of the most secular states in the Middle East. More open minded than the Turks from my experience.

The IRGC and their proxies are evils that must be rooted out.

The downside to a divide and rule system is the attendant disunity it fosters. And like I’ve projected in the past, the IRGC will never be the same and militia factions may rise in Iran if something isn’t done quickly.

To the topic;
Death to the compromisers!
Death to America!
Death to Isreal!

Some groups reject the ceasefire.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIX5crCydGs

US supplied Ukraine weapons
US supplies Isreal iron dome batteries
US supplies the EU weapons
US supplies South Korea weapons
US supplies the GCC weapons
US supplies Taiwan weapons
US has 800 bases worldwide

The amount of guns in Texas & Atlanta alone is more than Iran.

If Isreal has been fighting for 4 years nonstop how do you imagine the US has lesser weapons than Isreal.

We should root for peace. Be objective. I support the US but killing every soul in Iran but the IRGC is falling into the errors of the ayatollahs.

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh.

That human shield was a note of defiance and bold statement to the world.

As soon as the video went viral, the Pope spoke up against Trump. Italian PM too spoke against Trump. Some Republicans spoke up against Trump and the UNSC threw out the draft resolution he sponsored with gulf states.

Isn’t the world a better place now the strait is open?

It was pride all along for Iran. This could’ve happened weeks back.

Also, I don’t know think anyone should be denied martyrdom. Heaven is better than here, I just wish the west would understand this.

@OP, if you’re new to geopolitics, read a book.

Trump’s style of leadership has been consistent since his first term in office.

He wanted a wall and got it,
He wanted Obamacare gone and got it,
He want the US out of May international organizations and got it,
He promised to drop a bomb on Assad and did it,
He took out Solemani,

He may not always be right, but taking no for an answer is against his policy.
He sacked most of his aides in less than 6 months during his first term.

We should all route for peace and celebrate the demise of evil men that deem themselves as Demi-gods, deciding who lives or dies.

I look forward to seeing Macrons face, after paying the IRGC they open the strait for free.

LibertyRep:
You're still making the same mistake.

You need divergent views before your form opinion on anything, especially international politics.

It doesn’t hurt to admit that you were misinformed.

You wouldn’t be the first to fall into the dangers of propaganda. I read verified documents not just listen to news. You have provided no proof of your assertions so I assume they’re nothing more than assumptions and rumors.

The US made it clear that they wouldn’t assent to Ukraine joining NATO, so on this ground your comparison was/is completely false.

QED

Is lying a part of the IRGC fatwa?

Last-week, we are not in talks with the US

Also last-week, we gave the US 10 demands

This week, we will never agree to a ceasefire

Also this week, we will open the strait for 2 weeks but we also declare victory.

This week, we have secret weapons never before seen, also this week youths should come out and serve as human shields to protect the power plant.

The inconsistency in their positions should be diagnosed as a mental illness.

All straits must remain free for passage by all bordering countries.
