Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran's Lawmaker Says Gasoline Import Halted Under The US Naval Blockade by grandstar(m): 10:49pm On Aug 16
The problem is that fuel is heavily subsidied in Iran. This has led to excessive demand and also the mass smuggling of the products across its botders.

The subsidy needa to be removed. If anything could topple the Mullahs, it removal of this subsidy.

Please note that i said, "could," and not,"would."

You are in no position to tell Iranians how to live their lives.

Why should Iranians care if you like them or not?

You and your people have been licking the white man's feet and Iranians don't complain about that because that is your choice. Why can't Iranians also have a choice about not licking the white man feet
I condemned Trump, and you say I love lick8ng the white mans butt. Is Trump Chinese? You got me confused.

I repeat it loudly: Iran is run as a fascist dictarorship and its citizens have been fed up with the Mullahs for decades.

The only reason why any of you like Iran is because it stands up to Israel and fights for Palestinians. You know nothing about them.

I repeat: Iranians do not like their rulers. You said why should Iranians care about what I am saying?

Did I say they should care? I do not give a rats behind whether the Mullahs or their supporters like you care.

I have spoken the truth. If it pains, na your wahala be that.

The problem with many of you is that you dont like the trutĥ. I will not tell you what you want to hear.
Career › Re: There’s Nothing In The Civil Service - Pensioner Shares ₦74k Pension by grandstar(m): 2:24am On Aug 15
Greatex90:
Normally 74k is supposed to be a big money, where we have a president that has the citizens at heart.
Instead of benefitting from the government, the APC government keeps removing every little help that cuts across every average citizen with their selective leadership.
If fuel was 300 naira per liter, and light is subsidized , you will enjoy the 74k with happiness.
It's a pity.
With all the hardship metted on Nigerians, the APC is borrowing shamelessly at record high rate.
I don't understand what some people are supporting.
Dont let anyone deceive, even if every dime is accounted for, paying generous pensions is unadfordable.

First of all, the civil service in all local governmenrs, states and even the the federal are bloated. Reduce the number by half, and it will still be bloated. Paying generous benefit to all retired staff will bankrupt all tiers of government.

Seccondly, Nigeria collects very little as taxes. Barely 10% of GdP. Meanwhile, Cote D'ivoire collects 27%. Tax take is too poor to provide generous pension.

It is very necessary that whatever pensions that are paid out are affordable to the gocernment as generous entitlement programs are a sutefire way to ruin a country.

It seems like you are the one delusional here

They have the upper hand.... ? How. ?

They have no Navy.... They have no Air force

They are dealing with Hyperinflation 300%

They have been checkmated with the Trump Blockade. Nothing goes into Iranian ports without America's permission.

If it continues for the next 2 months, there would be an uprising.

Even some of the Land Corridor that they are depending on for importation have been attacked with most of the Bridges blown up by Trump.. ...

Iran only has the upper hand in spreading Propaganda.

The Trump Blockade is far more powerful than Airstrikes.

Let the Blockade continue. Very soon body go tell them .
Their value system and yours are different.

You think I like the Iranian dictatorship? I dont. But i know they are not going anywhere soon.

Iran doesn't want to appear weak by succumbing to the US. But sooner rather than later they would have to bend and eat the humble pie except the device a new ace to counter the situation which I don't see coming.


The US really got them by the balls this time.... seems the only solution is for them to negotiate a deal. But negotiating a deal from a weak stance is what they are trying to avoid.


:::
You are delusional.

The Mullahs that rule Iran dont have the same values as yours. The sooner you understand that, the better. They no sene all. Na where Trump madness, na there the madness start

Thats why other Gulf nations gave them a wide berth for decades. Thats why Gulf nations did not allow the use of their soil for the launching of atracks on Iran.

Please note that I do not like the Mullahs. Its a repressive dictatorship. Their citizens are fed up of them.

That does not change the reality. Trump was warned by his military not to start this war, that it wont end. He refused to heed their warning and now we have this mess.

The regime has said they want Trump to leave office before they make a deal. They are ready to wait.

They have the upper hand. Nothing like looking weak. As I said, their values and youes are not the same.

There's an ongoing mutiny onboard the lead US naval vessel, the aircraft carrier, USS Lincoln.

7 sailors have been shot dead for participating in a riotous mutiny onboard.

Others are desperately jumping into the sea to flee the horrid conditions on board.

Lets be honest: The .Mullahs in Iran run a fascist government.

Trump is not a saint.

I feel sorry for the sailors. Cant food be shipped to them using helicopters?

All countries have suffered from this senseless war.

Trump was advised by his military not to start this war but he wouldnt listen that it wont end well.

This war will cost the Republicans big time in the coming midterm elections.

The real tragedy here is why did the US start a war with them in the first place considering how terrinbe their economy was?

The Mullahs are not beloved by the people.

The US has allowed a street thug to give them the whooping of their life.

Saudi is rich and buys American weapons and imports everything with her money!

What can Israel boast of? Did you research how they beg around before jumping into topic?

They are celebrity beggars! The whole nuclear arms you talk about was begged for!

The iron dome or talk about was funded and built by the US. Trump said it point blank. Every interceptor that thing shoots is made in the US.

What does Israel have to boast about? Genetically modified tomatoes and watermelon?

Biden even said it TEN years ago! Israel was the biggest investment US made.

Call a spade a spade! They are beggars and leaches!

Nackzy:
Honestly Trump Braggs but i haven't really seen Much of Americas impact in this war...
The only country in the world that's deadly to Iran is Jerusalem
Donald Trump said there would be Israel had he not intervened.

Iran's drone and missile strategy is second to none, and was something that caught all nations unawares.

Israels interceptors have been depleted, and building capacity takes years

The only edge in a military conflict that Israel has between the two countries is a nuke.

Would they use it against Iran if pushed to the wall? I can not say. Countries keep nukes really as a deterrent. Israel might have no choice but to use theirs

Will it stop Iranian missile strikes? No. It may only increase number of drones and missiles hitting and devastating Israeli cities.

Israel that the US, Europe and Australia are feeding!

You lots make Israel that is not bigger than Niger state look like is a self made military and economic power!

That country can’t even stand Nigeria 1 vs 1

Leaches that that can’t defeat a combination of BlackAxe and Vinkings.
My friend, stop shouting!

I am neither pro-Iran or pro- Israel.

Israel would mess up the Nigerian army.

Who feeds who? Dont they pay for their food. The rich Gulf Arab states like Saudi import almost all their food. They pay for it. It is not free

Israel is no walkover. I am against the genocide in Gaza (Hamas shouldnt have invaded it), and its poor treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank.

Israel has held its own in the Middle East for almost 8 decades. It has been transformed into prosperous nation, despite it being surrounded by enemy nations.

However, under Netanyahu, it became cocky, and began overreaching. Pride is before a fall.

It felt it was invincible. His own adviser warned him they should not invade Lebanon that Israels army was stretched thin but refusrd to listen.

Trump too was cautioned by his genersls not to start a war with Iran that it would end badly, but he refused to listen.

Oga,
The devil they say is in the details. The truth they say is usually in the middle.

Irans willy nilly destruction of US bases is probably the foundation of this story.

If they had enough interceptors, the carnage wrought on them by the Iranians could have been contained.

The issue of using very expensive missiles which cost up to $4m to stop $20,000 drones no matter the benefit is not economical.

Iran has been deploying lots of these drones first for Israel and the US armies to waste costly interceptors on them. That is where the drainage stems from.

Another is that some of these missiles take as much as 5 years to manufacture one. I dont know why but it might be down to sensitive parts.

In the war with Iran,they have been expended faster than they can be replaced.

A Patriot missile Israel deployed this year was made in January. It seems the old batch might have been used up. A lot of the missiles Iran fired did hit Israel, a rate far more higher than before.

At this rate, Iran would leave Israel a desolate wasteland in a long term war. Israel may have no choice but to use a nuuke.

Why do you think journalists were prevented from covering the damages in several parts of Israel and US military bases, US and Israel are known for censorship and underreporting of bad news
I very much doubt Israel experienced more.

Nevertheless, there must have been lots of damage.

The Iranians exposed the vuln̈erability of the Jewish state. Even Trump admitted as much and said Israel would have received a whooping had the fighting not stopped.

Stoplying:
Vietnamese farmers defeated the USA without any air force and without any navy, the Afghans did the same. You guys see the USA as if it were a godly figure. You are not great students of war. Let me tell you this: a fighter deserves a fighter.
I like how you dismiss things with the arrogance of an emperor!

The devil they say is in the details.

I dont see the US as godlike. It is however the most powerful military in the world.

I like how you write Vietnamese farmers defeated the US. The Vietnamese farmers had military training. They also used a guerilla method of fighting.

The movie, "Forrest Gump," properly portrayed the war. US soldiers in over 70% of battles never saw the enemy. They were ghosts in the darkness. The US troops also engaged in war crimes which alienated many of the people such as the carpet bombing of North Vietnam and the use of Agent Orange

In Afghanistan, they toppled the Taliban from power. The Taliban even requested power sharing with the US but were turned down. The US introduced democracy, womens could go without wearing a burqa, they could even work and go to school.

Had the US stayed another 20 years, it would have "won" the war, not with weapons, but to a bourgeoning Afghan economy and a with an established nation.

In Iraq, Saddam Hussein and his government was toppled in 3 weeks. They sacked the entire army (which was probably their biggest mistake as they formed the bulk of the vicious insurgency that came after), brought in democracy which still holds, introduced economic reforms and so on. Yes, they were able to contain the insurgency, though not end it.

They left a functioning state behind, and Iraq is doing fairly well now.The insurgency itself has basically ended.

If you were really a war strategist, you would know its hard to win a guerilla war. Mohammed who you buy your cigarettes from in the morning, is the same chap planting an IED against you at night.

It knows its no match with the most powerful army in the world in the air, land and sea.
