P ![]() sleek214:Of course Iran will fall but what will happen after Iran falls is what you should be bothered at. Iran will now be an official hotbed of terrorists, disrupting the middle East. UK, Canada, Spain, EU, UN all say the war is illegal. Even Americans don't support the war but here you are pinpointing terrorists from one forest in Africa. Continue |
Gerhards:You that you know everything, point out what I typed that was incorrect. |
This is bullshit. Igbho shouldn't be given this level of optics. Guy suppose to be in court facing his charges of threat to life and illegal possession of gun. I am a full blooded Yoruba, know that and know peace. We have to be fair. Both Kanu and Igboho belong to the prison but on different charges. |
Bluearrow:Mention just one nuclear armed nation that the US had fought. They always fight weaker nations and leave chaos after their exit. Definitely, all countries in the middle East will be gunning for a nuclear weapon. Thanks to the almighty US |
Baecelona tried. Nice attempt. Congrats, Atletico Madrid |
SeverusSnape:Who is a terrorist? Define it by being fair and balanced. Let me tell you a little story. In 2018, A Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman - MBS - approved the murder of a Saudi journalist - Jamal Khashogi - right inside the Saudi Embassy in Turkey. It led to a global outrage when Jamal was murdered. Yet the US government looked the other way, rolled out red carpet for MBS when he visited the US and Trump had to insult a US journalist who questioned MBS about Jamal murder. Why? Just because the US wanted MBS to invest billions of dollars into the US The same Ayatollah regime being fought by US and Israel was facilitated to power by the same US against the Shah government. When you are the western power friends, when you are looting your country resources and investing in their countries, you are their friends. When you say no to their excesses, you are classified as a "terrorist". Do not forget, someone's terrorist is another person's hero. I ask you again, who is a terrorist? |
If you were against Putin, you should be against Trump and Nethanyahu right now. How would you strike in the midst of negotiation - that was wrong. Even Americans are against Trump on this. The UK has also abandoned Trump on this. The cost of war has come to the US. Today, the price of gasoline in the United States soared 11 cents to $3.11 a gallon, on average, in the latest reading from AAA. That marked the largest one-day increase since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. |
AirBere:The question now is - Who is a terrorist? Let me tell you a real life story which you might not have heard before. The current Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) ordered the assassination of a journalist - Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul in 2018. The guy was murdered right inside the Saudi Embassy. It caused a global outrage. Yet, the US continued to hail and praise this man - MBS -, gave him red carpet reception when he visited the US and even Trump had to insult a US journalist who asked the Prince questions about Khassogi murder in the white house. Why? Just because the US wanted to do billions of dollars business with Saudi and also wanted MBS to invest in the US. The US facilitated this same Ayatollah regime to overthrow the Shah regime in Iran. They were once friends. Fact of the matter: When you are the western countries friends, no matter what you do, they look the other way but once you say no to them, you become a terrorist. Like I always state here - someone's terrorist is another person's hero |
Heffalump:I hate Iran and her leadership but the war being waged on them currently is wrong and unjust. At the bolded, why should Israel has nuclear weapons and Iran won't have. Those proxies are devised by Iran to protect themselves. That's their intention. Those you refer to as "terrorists" are someone's heroes, it depends on which side you are looking at it. |
insidelife22:This won't make Iran free but wounded. Their operations would go clandestine and the Gulf nations would feel.itd deadly impact. Israel and US made a terrible mistake attacking Iran. Even Americans do not approve of Trump's war efforts in Iran. |
Did anyone read the part where it was stated that the Jews are attacking Christians in Israel. Nigeria Christians support Israel because they feel Israel is a Christian nation. You are wrong. Israel hates Christianity. |
ElevationD:Two countries are fighting one country, and that one country is still hitting US bases in other countries. I was shocked you could even mention nuclear materials. The US was the only nation to have ever used it in the world and since then they have been talking with Russia that they should both reduce their stockpiles - thats what you were here encouraging. Iran is really a strong nation, confronting both US and Israel full military might and still lasting this long. |
ComeToJesus:Each costing millions of dollars |
dangermouse:They are not actually firing indiscriminately, they are aiming at where US forces are based in those countries. |
US and Israel need to be careful with this war. They should know when to exit the war. I do not know Iran is this strong that can fight in multiple fronts. Iran has nothing to lose. They are quite nationalistic and fight to the death. See how US planes are dropping from the sky. Not one plane but several fighter planes. Iran will be destroyed, they wont be able to match US + Israel might but they will inflict maximum damage and scatter the middle east. |
By princeade86:US has military bases in those countries. It's the US military bases that are being targeted. Later, US evacuated their service men to hotels and those hotels were being targeted too. Ki |
themanderon:Be deceiving yourself. Billions of dollars are burning . US military is overstretched. US taxpayers are against killing of Khamenei - go and check the polls. Trump won on the basis to stop foreign wars, now he is don't exactly opposite. Americans are hungry and Trump is wasting billion of dollars on war which do not affect the US. Midterm election is as good as gone. Trump has till November to display his madness. |
dragunov:A country of 90 million will be levelled. You guys are clowns |
themanderon:US and Israel capabilities are not infinite. They are burning through their inventory and the military is overstretched. The interceptors that are neutralising the Iranian missiles are very expensive. The war is putting a strain on the budget. |
Iran can't confront the dual power of US and Israel but I give it to them. They are fighting on multiple fronts and getting results as well. 3 US service members downs, deaths in Israel and devastation in Gulf region. They are fighting with dignity, and Trump actually made a mistake to go for the Ayatollah. Why killing an over 80 year old man with a bomb. This will lead to more resistance and more terrorist. I hope common sense can prevail. Iran is not venezuela |
Some celebrate, some.mourn. that's quite normal in a moment like this. All the Ayatollahs in Pakistan have issued fatwa against Americans and their interests. This war is spiralling out of control and it's a war of choice for Trump - its needless and the US won't be able to control the outcome of this war both abroad and at home. |
tctrills:I will like to know why you agree that military conflict is the best approach. And I will like to understand your justification for a sovereign country to change regime in another sovereign country |
89green:Have you read about the 1979 revolution when the US govt was no more seeing Shah as a reliable l, trusted ally. There was an internal revolution in Iran and the US govt pressured the Iran military not to intervene. There were two players jostling for powers - tudeh party and the Ayatollah. The US govt preferred the Ayatollah over the tudeh party and the Ayatollah came to power since then. The US facilitated the Ayatollah regime |
tctrills:You should ask yourself why Iran supports Hezbollah, Hamas and Yemenis, Somebody's hero is another person's villain It is a form of leverage to see allies fighting alongside them when fight comes, just like the US and israel leverage on nuclear weapons. Do you see anything bad in Israel possessing nuclear weapon? Be fair in your judgement instead of supporting the destruction of another country. Iran can't be destroyed, the govt can be changed but the same fate that bedevils Iraq and Libya will be their portion - hotbed of terrorism Do not just accept the narratives of the westerners. Have you asked yourself why the UK distance themselves from this military adventurism. It is not fair and just. |
Bluearrow:I can bet when petrol prices rise at the pump station, you will be the first to shout Tinubu name. |
tctrills:Because majority of Nigerians who are supporting this military adventures by the US and Israel feel they are supporting Israel as a Christian nation No, Israelis are not largely Christians, and they do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah. They only believe in the God of Isaac, Abraham and Moses as stated in the Torah. |
Bluearrow:Show me where in international treaties which the US largely established and supported for centuries is stated that one sovereign nation could change government in another sovereign nation. It is so wrong. Why would you compare iswap and Isis to Iran which is a sovereign nation. US put this government which you are condemning there in the 70s against the Shah government. Go and learn history. Things don't go well between them and US suddenly hates them. Israel has nuclear weapons. Iran would always go to the brink of possessing one - it is common sense. I hate this Iranian govt more than you do but this military action should be condemned. Most people supporting Isreal do so on the basis of religion.. They feel Israelis are largely Christians. That's not true. Israelis practise Judaism, and they hate Christians with passion. They see Christianity as an attempt to destroy the religion of their forefathers which is Judaism. Approximately 75% of Israelites practise Judaism (Jewish), 20% are Muslims, just 5% are Christians |
Let's keep watching this in 5D |
Bluearrow:There can't be any world peace through this means. The only country that every abused and used nuclear weapon in the history of the world is the United States. Why not fight for a world without nuclear weapons. Smaller countries would always want to have nuclear weapons to protect themselves against the bigger countries. You can't have and ask me not to have. You think Ukraine would not eventually, silently pursue nuclear weapons later? Middle East will never be stable thorough this action. Iran govt will go down eventually but what will play out remains anyone guess. That country will be an hotbed for terrorism. Why striking a country in the midst of negotiation? You can't just be striking a country just because you can. Iran is currently firing on US bases in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE and Qatar. Iran is not Venezuela. As US and Israel has multiple options to achieve victory so do Iran has multiple options to distrupt middle East and the entire world. Do not start complaining once petrol prices rise in Nigeria at the filling station. It will reach everybody |
