Trump will psy for these things in november. The man is lacking brain power to hold that office. Every thing appears easy and simple to that loafer trying to act tough to cover cluelessness.
Obama was balancing the middle east between shia and sunni also keeping Israel safe. Now US is in the stupidity business

damtan:
Can artificial earthquake be induced? I don't trust US at all

Since the 70s Russia and US have been researching it. There is even a treaty against using earthquake stimulating technology against each other. I imagine it might be possible that seismic technology could be adapted to create dangerous resonance frequencies at junctions between tectonic plates

mrsteel:
Fighting terrorists is a collective effort
USA is not doing this for their country alone in the long run but for the world. If the world is devoid of terrorist, it will be a better place for all of us. US never attacked Iran but a terrorist. No innocent blood was shared, so what are u talking? A man that attacked Saudi oil field without remorse is who u are defending here? U must be an Islam extremist, Shiite or terrorist!

Al Soleimani attacked Saudi oil fields?
Come on. You guys are really personalizing this thing and building a larger than life image to this guy.
The suspects for saudi oil fields are Houthis supported by Iran (not just one man) and Israel for their own strategic reasons

themonk:
Please you shut up, how many peace treaties have US violated? What are they doing in someone else's country. Incase you don't know they are in middle east for that oil, the US are bullies.

They are in the middle east for the oil. Every other President before Trump used to hide this fact but Trump says it out oh ha.
It is a sad time for any US soldier or operative captured in that region from now. It is even sadder fir them because the world is already prepared mentally for the vengeance of the Iranians.

They hold all the cards now, not Trump

They may decide to wait till election campaigns commence before their response and it may take any form.

Buhari does not like the N700bn recurrent expenditures on security.
The bulk of this money is to pay allowances to soldiers deployed for Boko Haram and other internal security issues like bandits in NW...including MNJTF Chadian soldiers.

A great part of the 700bn would buy weapons and technology that will permanently solve the problem

healthserve:
And these are the persons some people are defending o

Defending ke?. It was Trump who committed act of terrorism. Now they want to bankrupt his hotels.
You absolutely should not be personally targeting officials of foreign governments.
When Putin invaded Ukraine, was killing opponents with radioactive poison on foreign soil why did they not target him personally?.

Openbusiness:
Doesn't even matter. Trump has veto powers that can override both Congress and the House. He just has to sign an executive order and haters like Nancy will continue crying, because the executive order of the commander in chief must be followed immediately

Trump cannot veto war powers act. The operational use of armed forces is the Presidents power BUT he cannot declare war without congress.

American democracy is funny and requires balancing of power especially since ANYBODY can become President especially this rich man's son who dodged away from Vietnam war, has no political experience and cannot sit down to listen to experts, analyse issues or think deep about anything. Every immature school boy has a hero in Trump.
There is a need to curb his powers to declare war

Macsjebs:
He is only putting his people first to prevent repeat of the 2001 attacks; there are exceptions to War crimes such as self defense, preemptive strike. Also US is not a party to the ICC Rome Statute

He has just exposed his people to the worst forms of terrorist attacks. Worse than 2001. Every one of them has to run scared while abroad

idealogical:
Oga trump, you can not do that, it's called war crimes.

When you don't have advisers or don't listen to advisers..

You want to know who last went after cultural sites? . Taliban in Afghanistan. They bombed hundreds of centuries old sculptures carved into mountaines with artillery claiming they were idols.
Some of these were world heritage sites.

It is a disgrace that the US now has a coward in oval office who would threaten cultural sites because he is scared of repercussions of his acts of state terrorism.
It is a sad day for America

You cannot be permitting Trump to be assassinating people like an amateur kid playing around with.dangerous toys.
Americans and their interests are the most vulnerable to terrorism .
The US has a population of 300m but entire world population is 7bn. How is the Trump idiocy sustainable in the world?
The US lost Afghanistan after spending more than $7trillion. They 'won' Iraq for Iran. Iran now controls Iraq after spending another $15trillion on a war that has made Shiites more powerful than Sunni.
The US has to boot the orange idiot out of the white house because his urge to 'show off' to his low minded admirers is causing big problems for the country.

The world is complex and Donald Trump is a too much of a simpleton .
The US needs a strategic thinker and crafty implementer of well thought out doctrine not a reality show joker

Randy100:
You forgot that he was killing American soldier before the ISIS fight. In recent days, he was threatening Americans.

Not 'he'.
Why is everybody in Nigeria trained to think only in personal terms.
Not 'he'. It is an evolution of Iranian policy in the last few months.
Iran is under sanctions.

The economy is in ruins after they had complied with EVERYTHING the world asked them to do.

*Please read this part carefully *
The US CIA and Israel Mossad have organized strikes within Iran to topple the government many times since Trump came to power.

So all countries in the region; US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, are doing the same things against each others interests in.the region. It now looks like US/Israel/Saudi/UAE/Turkey against Iran/Qatar/China(secretly)/Houthis in Yemen/Hebollah in Lebanon.
Saudi Arabia killed a dissident last year inside its embassy in.Turkey and cut up itd body into little pieces. Trump did nothing so Trump is now supporting state terrorism BUT when they behead US citizens or kidnap American women to give to terrorist it hurts Americans deeply so why start playing in this dirty field.
Military power cannot save you.from terrorism . We will continue to.pray for Trump and America.

Alvin212:
A Child born outside wedlock issa bastard



Baby mama culture is a trash culture.

Born outside wedlock? Are you sure? . We saw wedding pictures. They lived together more than two years.
Why is the average Nigerian so mentally lazy? . Brains are to be used vigorously .You are not using yours. There is even no divorce yet maybe because of love and respect for this young child

Make u na dey use brain o.
It costs nothing.

ContractKiller:
But OP, this question is actually redundant.

All you have to do is look at the person Nigerians voted into office as their head of state and use him as the unit for measuring Nigeria's average IQ.

Nobody actually reckons with Nigerians when it comes to matters requiring logic and critical thinking.

Nigerians surrendered their ability to reason like human beings to superstition.

Nigerians are super smart to vote Buhari. They reasoned within context. Pre- 2015, the 4th republic was a corrupt, incompetent and confused structure under PDP hegemonic control. Retired Military officers who were heads of state that were shivering and scared under Abacha suddenly discovered dutch courage when the man died and put their minions in.power. The western world also obliged with some techno-cratic ministers under Obssanjo as their boy-boy. In 16 years they had stolen $600bn and kept abroad. They raised up about 30 dollar billionaites BUT 105m poor people. It was a JOKE.

Thank God for Buhari, we can now extend the definition of the Nigerian to include the rural poor, semi urban poor, farmers, solid miners, manufacturers et.c instead of the stupid petro- centric urban middle class idiots we had as "Nigerians" before
20% of the country living in 5 cities wasting their lives and potential by feeding on crumbs from Adenuga, Danjuma, Dangote, et.c feeling smug that they are least better than other poorer, less empowered but more productive Nigerians.
Buhari is resetting brains. The next step after infrastructure and agriculture would be techno-entrrpreneurship, innovation and world competitiveness.

After his tenure, some one has to continue cleaning the country.of the urban youth gangs, cults, oil theft, prostitution, almajiri-sm, banditry and si on that PDP economic policies brought in.16 years.

jeffizy:
Time changes, people too.

Osama Bin Laden was an Ally of USA before Al Qaeda became uncontrollably deadly.

Get it right. This man was not a terrorist. He was an Iranian official. His expertise is coordinating militia groups as a weapon of state policy/ power for Iran.
When ISIS took over 3/4 of military weapons and facilities in Iraq, it was people like Soleimani who led the fight back by the Iraqi shiite government .
So why kill the man if not to garner fake support against impeachment trial or to help you in November elections?.

All Obama or Bush afldministration who were far more intelligent than Trump would have done was to plan a "mission of warning". Maybe the missiles would have deliberately missed and more Iranian leaders would have been "almost killed " as well. This would have been serious warning. Now you have killed the guy and you are shivering in fox holes waiting for retaliation.
It is stupid.
Iran does not need military power to retaliate. Retaliation is in the terrorism space not military and they now hold all the cards

Alexandro15:
Iran had better respect itself and stand down with all the threats. Imagine declaring a price for the hear of a sitting president, a president as powerful as Trump.
They are not in any position to make threats. In addition to their military and nuclear might, two powerful countries have already declared for the US.
Iran should not take the bait that has been set for them.

It is not a military issue. It is a terrorism issue. The US actually committed state terrorism by assassinatimg one man.
The Israel, Syria, ISIS, Turkey always had the means to kill Soleimami. He had always been too visible. It was not profitable to kill him. He was actually the best defeater of ISIS on the ground so why kill him and try to alter the balance of power between Sunni and Shiite in the region. Former leaders of the US did not kill Soleimani for many reasons. It was not out of weakness. Trump is not wise.

He has opened himself persomally and his personal enemies internationally and locally can take the bait and blame it on Iran.

When you are President of the US, brains and wisdom are what you.require
You are not the inventor of its nuclear bombs or the designer of its aircraft or military systems. All that is required of you is wise application of power.
Killing an official of another country is not wise. It exposes you to retaliation and only one side has the advantage now. They can wait one year, two years or even after a possible second term to het revenge

sammyj:
Oil that has been rendered useless by the US. The introduction of the shale oil by the US will render oil useless all over the world. The only thing that still has value is LNG Gas!!

You guys are too ignorant and naive. Iran is 98% literate country. They have the third largest number of engineers and scientists.
I find that most pro Trump people dont know much about the world and since Trump himself does not know much about the world, it has become double jeopardy.
By assasinating a top security official, Trump has unleashed great forces of Vengeance. The military might of the US has been rendered useless, all the other side has to do is kill US ambassadors, generals, public figures in almost every country they can reach.
The US is now stupid under Trump.
Israel's Mossad could have killed Soleimani may be 20 times if they wanted. The Obama administration also had the means to do it just as Saudi Arabia. Why did they not?. They did not because it is bad precedent and there is no value to it. He is a government official. Not a terrorist. What he is doing in Iraq and Syria is the same as what CIA, Mossadamd KGB are doing - organizing militia to fight proxy battles for his country

The US has never won.a war on its own ever. Not once. They lost vietnam. They lost Afghanistan, wrecked their own economy and are losing the economic edge to China.
They will lose in the middle east with Trump and that will be.the end of US power in.the world

AfroMighty:
This trump mean business....
For this to grow into a full blown war., It will start with iran foolishness...
So pls iran Don't act foolishly...

No my friend. There will be consequences. Unfortunately it might be innocent people that will pay for this executive recklessness.
Until now we have been condemning acts of terrorism from Shiites and Sunni but now when the Shouted act we will accept it as a 'response '. Americans are not safe for probably a decade

panafrican:
Trump did pretty well on foreign policy during his first term in office.
He did not blow up any country , he did not collude with warmongering nations such as UK and France to smuggle weapons into countries and start a bloody armed rebellion like what we saw in Syria and Libya.

Based on that Iran should wise up and avoid unnecessary conflicts with a country it cannot defeat.

There is no such thing as US destroying Iran. If they use nuclear weapons, the entire world is destroyed. If they land troops the US will lose. If they do airstrikes, Iran will mine the strait of hormuz and let lose their militias in the region including Hezbola in Lebanon and Houthis in Yemen. It will destroy the worlds economy

Guestlander:
Fox news or is it false news watcher. Completely brainwashed people.

Faux news. Complete lies for the unexposed Americans. A lot of them are my friends so I cant say this in some quarters but Faux news is parochial and too US internal context specific to be credible

Dikegodspower:
buhari has succeeded in taking this country backward...imagine chad

MNJTF troops. Nigeria also had troops in Chad and our airforce was in Niger Republic.

There is a new strategy that govts want to adopt. As bloody civillians we will just take it that Nigeria and all contributing countries are withdrawing troops. Then we wait

Trump is still not going to win re election. If he likes let him start world war 10. The US has never won a unilateral war in history. They have only ever won with a coalition. They lost vietnam and they lost Afghanistan.

Brainless people. The iranians could kill Trump as well if they are patient ....emphasis on patience. Anybody can be killed if he has killed before. It is very stupid policy to target personal officials of another country. Trump is treading on a dangerous path and no amount of childish praises from ignorant kids will prevent the consequences and there will be consequences
Israel had the means and opportunity to kill this Solemaini severally but they did not because it was strategically not worth it. That is how a professionally managed national security architecture behaves

This is the first sensible thing I am reading about national federal restructuring in a long time.

It is not premised on lies but a fairly accurate definition / statement of the problem.

However, we cannot do anything about structure now because of money (probably N100Trillion) required to settle border, shared assets, intra regional structure set ups and security infrastructure alone. Another reason we cant do it is geo political security. There are too many bar guys in tue neighborhood and they will run amok and destroy / loot stuff especially the East and middle belt.
I know this is not palatable news but it is the truth.

Nigeria can only restructure when another five year oil or commodity boom comes. That is not likely now.

Islam is unsettled in N.West African. They will come south. All they are waiting for is a weaker Nigeria and Ghana.

Simply because you are getting older.

This answer shows you know nothing about sex. It is familiarity that reduces the urge and makes sex less frequent.

This 'invention' is a load of crap

EmmaFantastic:
Former US Vice President, Joe Biden, who was Vice President to Barack Obama through Obama's 8 years presidency, is one of the leading contenders for the candidate of the Democratic party in the forthcoming US Presidential election slated for November this year. He has now said that if he wins the primaries to be the party's candidate, he will consider a running mate from the opposition republican party. This is in addition to what he has already been saying - that he would go for a female and/or a colour person as running mate. Very interesting!
This news is from Reuters. You can read the full details on their website. Here:

Happy new year all.

That or Mayor Bloomberg. The Democratic party has to shift slightly right to boot out the orange misfit in the white house

This was not giraffing. It was bold face, open looking

Are you kidding me?. This guy is extremely qualified na. Electronic engineer. Ordinary rural electrification. That's burying poles and laying cables. These days you put 500kw solar per community.
How is he nor qualified?
There are too many kids on Nairaland. In every country it is who a President knows first that he appoints. There is no job interview. Stop infantile thinking. The real world is not taking JAMB exam
Most of Buhari appointees will do well. This one Buhari knows his dad thats how the world works. Trump is doing this kind of thing very well in the US. Erdogan appointed his son in law Finance Minister in Turkey. All UK Prime Ministers from the conservative party were school mates and friends from secondary school and university

Kapeter:
thanks. But i pity the police sha. Won't they all run away from boko haram and iswap like this.

MOPOL wont run. ATF wont run. There is even Nigeria Police IG's special forces that will even hunt down and arrest some Boko Haram cells.
