Remember when I told you about a troll farm? Do you remember that the BBC published a report on that same troll farm years later.

Well it looks to me that that same troll farm has been activated to support one of the sides in the US vs Iran War.

Bloomberg published an article yesterday, I created the thread this morning, but funny people are shouting, "Old news".

Doesn't that tell you all you need to know about the funny people?

ccollins:
another apc youth man has spoken and created a topic

This is the entertainment on this thread for me.

I have often written about people who behave like drones. They have no sense and can't reason for themselves. So everything to them is which party, which religion, which ethnic group, that's all that's in their heads. Common sense is absent.

Here's an example, what does this thread have to do with APC? Nothing. But the poster above is a drone, so he can only repeat what he has been programmed to post.

It's the same with all the drones that are desperately trying to link me with the article. This is simply entertainment for me, but I don't expect drones to be able to think that deeply. They can only shout religion, party and ethnic group.

Iran Hits Key US Radar, Deepening Gulf Missile Defense Woes

Iran has destroyed a key $300 million radar system crucial to directing US missile defense batteries in the Gulf that risks further straining the region’s ability to counter future attacks, according to a US official.

Satellite photos show that an RTX Corp. AN/TPY-2 radar and support equipment — used by US THAAD missile defense systems — was destroyed at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan in the opening days of the war, CNN reported earlier, citing commercial satellite imagery. The destruction of the equipment was later confirmed by a US official.

Data gathered by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank show two reported Iranian strikes in Jordan: one on Feb. 28 and one on March 3. Both were reported to have been intercepted.

“If successful, an Iranian strike on a THAAD radar would mark one of Iran’s most successful attacks so far,” said Ryan Brobst, deputy director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. However, he added that “the US military and its partners have other radars that can continue to provide air and missile defense coverage, mitigating the loss of any single radar.”

US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, units are meant to destroy ballistic missiles at the edges of the atmosphere, enabling them to engage more difficult threats than shorter-range Patriot batteries. With this AN/TPY-2 radar out of commission, missile interception duties will fall onto the Patriot systems, for which PAC-3 missiles are already in short supply.

The US has eight THAAD systems globally, including in South Korea and Guam. The batteries cost about $1 billion each, with the radar comprising about $300 million of that, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

“These are scarce strategic resources and its loss is a huge blow,” said Tom Karako, a missile defense expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The Army’s current “eight-battery force is still below the force structure requirements of nine set back in 2012, so there aren’t exactly any spare TPY-2 lying around,” he said.

A THAAD battery consists of 90 soldiers, six truck mounted launchers and forty-eight interceptors — 8 per launcher — one TPY-2 radar, as well as a tactical fire control and communication unit. Each interceptor missile, manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corp., costs about $13 million.

“If you want integrated air and missile defenses, this is just one of the things you’d put in the theater,” said William Alberque, a Europe-based senior fellow at the Pacific Forum research institute.

Earlier in the war, an AN/FPS-132 radar in Qatar — a fixed installation unlike the mobile THAAD system — was damaged during an Iranian attack, according to research from the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Monterey, California.

That system is an early warning radar, designed to spot threats at extreme distances but without the precision needed to launch weapons at them.

Air and missile defense systems in the Gulf region have been stressed and, at times, overwhelmed by Iranian retaliatory attacks of drones and ballistic missiles. It has prompted fears that stockpiles of advanced interceptors such as THAAD and PAC-3 will soon run dangerously low.

On Friday, defense contractors including Lockheed and RTX met at the White House as the Pentagon pushes to speed weapons production.

I was right, the troll simply wanted my attention. He's repeating what I posted to me as if I wasn't the person that posted it and as if I don't know what I posted.

LEAGUE OF CHIEF IMAMS CAUTION NIGERIANS AGAINST MEDDLING IN MIDDLE EAST CRISIS

•Warns against protest, allowing global events to trigger local unrest

Nigerians, especially Lagos residents, have been cautioned against any kind of protest, disaffection or act that can jeopardise peaceful coexistence in the country due to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. They were also warned against meddling in the ongoing war between Iran, Israel and the United States.

The League of Chief Imams made the appeal while speaking at the 2026 Ramadan Tafsir/Iftar programme, held at the Lagos House, Ikeja, on Tuesday night.

The position of the Chief Imams was a reaction to the protest staged in some parts of the country, particularly by members of the South-West chapter of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria on Monday in Lagos over the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, during recent United States-Israeli strikes on Iran.

Reacting to the development, the League of Chief Imams who spoke through the National Missioner and Chief Imam of the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria, Sheikh Abdulrahman Ahmad, called for calm and restraint, warning that Nigeria must not allow global events to trigger local unrest.

He said that Ramadan and Lent periods should be used to pray for the continuous peace of Lagos and Nigeria rather than embarking on protests or any form of disaffection over the Middle East crisis, noting that any form of demonstration or protest should be disallowed.

The Islamic cleric noted that Nigeria is also affected by current global happenings; hence, the need for reflection, solution-solving and constant prayers for the government to succeed at both the state and federal levels.

He said: "Beware of fitnah; when it happens, it will not only affect those who are responsible for it, but it will also affect all of us. The crisis in the Middle East is fitnah. This is a time for prayer, a time to be part of peace; this is not a time for protest and demonstration. This is not a time for insults. This is not a time for upheavals. It is a time of sober reflection.

“Allah has warned us to beware of a calamity that, when it happens, will not just affect those who are responsible for it. And at the moment, it is affecting all of us. How may it go? I told the congregation they should prepare for an increase in fuel prices. And today, if you have refilled your vehicle's tank, you will know how much petrol is being sold per litre. Chances are that it could even go further. It could even hit N2,000 per litre. It may even be worse than that, except we face it with prayer."

While expressing sadness over the loss of lives and destruction of property in the ongoing Middle East crisis, Sheikh Ahmad said that if citizens cannot be part of the solution, they should not become part of the problem. He also warned against propaganda and being drawn into conflicts that do not directly concern the nation, urging Nigerians to pray for those affected in the Middle East as well as for peace and stability at home.

Referencing the aftermath of the 2020 EndSARS protests, which caused a lot of destruction in Lagos State and other parts of the country, the National Missioner and Chief Imam of the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria noted that Lagos State and Nigeria are still dealing with the consequences and cannot afford further disruption.

"We are not happy that our brothers and fellow human beings have been attacked on a daily basis, but then, if we cannot be part of the solution, we should not be part of the problem. Don’t join a protest that you don't know anything about. Remember that the country is still dealing with the effect of EndSARS protests. Don't cause disruption. Your intention may be pure, may be good, but do you know about the next person who will hide under that and cause mayhem and cause destruction? That is why we have come to appeal to all of us that we should be part of the solution, not a part of the problem," he said.

The League of Chief Imams also implored Nigerians to embrace unity, responsibility and spiritual reflection, praying that the sanctity of the month of Ramadan would bring relief and peace to the world. They also urged clerics to use their respective altars to preach against disaffection, confusion and any form of protest and allow peace to thrive across the land.

The 2026 Ramadan Tafsir/Iftar programme was attended by Islamic clerics, Muslim faithful, top government officials, civil servants and journalists.
