All armies lie about everything. Deception is the oldest weapon of war.

This is why some poor countries only send the kids of diplomats to these competitions. Poor people will abandon ship and seek asylum in richer countries.
This happened with Nigerian athletes so many times.
The brave girls of my country were forced to wear the hijab to be allowed to play for the national football team. They had to wear clothes they did not want, but because of their passion for football, they had no choice but to accept these restrictions to continue their path. When they traveled to Australia for a match at the stadium, they refused to sing the Islamic Republic's anthem. At the same time, they were threatened from inside the country that when they returned, they would face severe punishment—simply for refusing to sing the regime’s anthem. Some of them left the national team camp and applied for asylum. Donald Trump also supported them and said that if the Australian government did not grant them asylum, the United States would do so. For 47 years, this regime has told our people that America is our enemy. But the real enemy of the Iranian nation has always been the regime itself—not America and not anyone else
Add the girls families left behind to your prayer groups.
As soon as we declare war on Iran, America will withdraw from the conflict, sell weapons to both sides, and use our resources to defeat both sides and expand the Greater Israel project.
dermmy: See frustration. World's number 1 military seeking coalition from other countries to help her in its aggression against an Iran without an air force or Navy.
I don't really see what "being a Jew" has to do with this but ...
ariesbull: I just pity that Zelensky now....Russia is dealing with him silently and quietly... Nobody send am! His benefactor America is being decimated and being a Jew he is,he might be booted out
bryght4u: Don't tell me this was actually released. We've been dealing with clowns all along, clowns but very dangerous ones who sold themselves the lie of invincibility and swallowed it hook, line and sinker. #47 can produce and equally direct this movie because that is what it actually is - a Hollywood production. The realities on the battlefield is real world, real-time events that mock his clownish production. He should revel in his foolishness; Iran will keep teaching them lessons they haven't been taught in a while.

basilico: The UK army esp is strong and very well trained. What they lack in manpower is compensated by training and modernization. Europe countries have cutting edge militaries, they are no pushovers at all. Wokeism and liberalism is what's destroying Europe.
Ghostagain: I'm not going to read that thing. You have to tell me what you want me to see on it, how does it contradict my earlier claim, and I don't go by snippets, show me a link to the original document.

I think only Israel and USA see Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation (not my opinion, so please leave me alone, I have no opinion on this). Also I think Iran fought against hamas in Syria, but I think they have a common ennemy in gaza.
Also, if I recollect well, Israel funded hamas, in order to create a counter power to "Palestinian authority" and stop the move towards 2 state solution.
CanadaOrBust: Who do you think funds terroristic organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah?
CanadaOrBust: But you'll no longer see them thinking about enriching uranium. That's the point - their capacity to ever develop nuclear will be permanently removed
USA doesn't produce weapons at the same pace as Russia.
dvkot: honestly eeh, some commentators I really use to value their opinions just made me weak with their ridiculous takes on this Iran n USA war... If Russia haven't run out of missile how on earth do you expect US to run out of missile?
I'm Edo and also trained in martial arts (boxing), I've been avoiding fights outside the ring since I nearly got shot once by a coward and one time a 20 year old kid was acting tough with me, I told him we should fight because I don't do the talk tough thing, then he tried to set me up with his gang... These days, things are not the same 😅
Anyways, this was just anecdotal.
You got my point on the earlier "neighbour beat down" analogy, that is how the USA military thinks.
23jerryking: That's not how I go about it, I'm a full blooded Igala boy 😂 and we have small pride. Na one-on-one sure pass.
If you want to beat up your neighbour, would you like a fair fight or a fight in which you are sure you would win ? 😅
Invite your entire family to join the beating down of your neighbour. That will guarantee your victory. 😎 Zun Glasses.
23jerryking: Why did they need up to such numbers to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait? Are they really that weak or there's something else attached to it?
Pakistan and India are wild cards, they are like moderate versions of turkey. They talk out of both sides of the mouth and they will stab you in the back while smiling to your front.
LordAdam16: the new york times is now reporting that white house officials are saying trump may decide to end the war
iran should not accept any unilateral ceasefire
the strait of hormuz must remain closed until they lift sanctions and codify it in congress and the un
and any permanent end of the war must have security guarantees for intervention by russia, china, and pakistan
Trump doesn't seem to be smarter than his Nigerian supporters. I can remember having to educate these guys on why Iran is not Venezuela and America can't just defeat Iran in 3 days. Now I hope they understand.
You see, the big differences between the USA and Russia start to show:
1. Russian defence productions are state managed, so profit doesn't undermine defence imperatives whereas in the usa, money making companies are in charge of defence productions and they don't care about defence imperatives, they only care about making as much money as possible, even if it means sacrificing the military might of the usa.
2. Russia has virtually all the ressources in house, the USA doesn't, and therefore needs to either buy them from third countries or invade those countries for the ressources. All these add costs.
3. Mass producing these weapons in the USA Will take years to train the adequate number of personnel and change the way defence companies operate (USA is too capitalistic for the companies to give up profit and focus on defending the country).
Mille: That's part of the point Israel and US will never run out. Yeah, they can run low on some specific type but they can also ramp up wartime production.
The US has massive stockpiles, and these production companies will and can manufacture missiles massively if and when needed.
Surprisingly, Iran is dealing with the situation the best way possible. I didn't think they had it in them earlier.
That kid doesn't know that when you reach my age, peer pressure has zero effects 😅
FoolishBoy419: You're the one that needs to do some research. Even Israel-designed weapons like Arrow 3 are not produced in Israel. Yesterday, the US bypassed congress to sell 12000 dumb bombs to them. They can't mass-produce high end weapons
Israel is good at theoretical work, one of my mates in France had to go to Israel to work on great cardinals. You don't need great resources to do theory.
23jerryking: Why is Israel referred to as the "start-up nation"? Stop disgracing yourself like this na. Are you not bigger than this? At least try and pretend to be.
USA doesn't produce that much. It's private capitalistic companies which produce these products in the USA and they maximise profit to the detriment of defense imperatives.
Also:
Ghostagain: Anything Israel claims it made has past through many countries via what is known as "chain of fabrication". If Israel is blockaded or faces sanctions, it won't have access to that chain of fabrication.
The atomic bomb Israel has, it's France which gave it to Israel. Every month France and many other European countries send military supplies to Israel, the USA does so as well, I think Australia and canada also do this. Yeah, "chain of fabrication".
Mille: All these talks of USA, Iran, Israel running out of missiles or ammunition after two weeks make me laugh. When they are not corrupt and poorly managed countries like Nigeria
How anyone can believe countries who have been prepared for war for a very long time ever run out is baffling to me. Even small hamas in a tiny strip of land didn't run out and continued producing rockets under heavy bombardment talkmore of these countries who have large production hubs.
