No one mane can initiate a missile launch in the us, iran that made mistake shooting down its own plane, imagine it launches nuclear by mistake, only usa and japan can talk about the true cost of nuclear missile, not fanatics like iran, no matter how much you win a war, you still lose, deep down taking lives will always kill you on the inside, unless you are a fanatic.

See your mentality? U think an average Moslem is rational? If Moslem countries are allowed access to nuclear weapons, they will ground the earth. They are good at destroying not building. Imagine what we witnessed in Gaza recently...imagine then firing 1,500 missiles in a day, if not that Israel could intercept the rockets.... I beg US is the police of the world. Let them be. Imagine if those great countries had allowed Hitler succeed...abeg o

Oga, inform yourself more about the middle east, especially Palestine and Israel.
It is similar to bandits attacking one's home with Ak 47s and you throwing empty beer and minimal bottles back at them to fight back.
Israel uses f16s, f15s, f35s, tanks, howitzers, cruise missiles, cluster bombs, drones even as low as stink bombs to attack a land, air and sea blockaded Gaza. The gazians try to fight back in dignity by firing crude rockets back at Israel (mostly unguided).

It's interesting how pmb's minions are trying so hard to twist a narrative.

PMB went against Twitter because he felt hurt that they rightly took off his tweet. His action was based on his ego which he couched as national interest.

By the way, the US got a court order to seize those sites, which one did PMB obtain?
The problem with nairaland is that people just make comments based on thier perception and not facts. That press TV makes me sick. Watch thier news and see, they are just a political tools that the Iranian regime uses to make their citizens hate the west make themselves look good at home. Watch wen the Israeli and Palestinian war was going on, thier reports as expected was always one-sided

So the Iranian can't have freedom of speech in peace? And same USA will be going around preaching freedom of press/speech.

The U.S is busy blocking Iranian news site and nobody said anything about muting freedom of expression, Nigeria did the same with Twitter people started shouting. Is it because Twitter is owned by an American? Or what exactly.

Twitter was allowing threats and posts from terrorists and removing the Presidents warning to terrorists. If you can't reason the motive behind such actions, you are pretty not smart.

Because, the U.S can handle the nuclear weapons pretty well even against their enemies, whereas other countries are not mature enough, or rather too irrational to handle it properly.

It's like a married man who cheats on his wife but don't want his wife to cheat on him; simply because he knows that, no matter how much he cheated on his wife he will not abandon her or fall in love with another woman, unlike a woman who cheat on her husband.
Men cheat for pleasure while women cheat for love.

Forgive my illustration

It is not about Iranians having freedom of speech.
The Iranian Government's action of banning and preventing any private news media or TV stations from operating in the country and ensuring that the Government operates all news media is the major violation of freedom of speech! Their Government news media are therefore nothing more than propaganda machines and should not elicit any sympathy when it is disrupted or shutdown!

You cannot deny your people their fundamental rights to free speech and then cry when you are told to shut up!
No freedom of speech again?

Did the Nigerian government report to Twitter about the posts of the so called terrorists?

Anyway, some of you are too "dull" to reason rationally, that is why when the government bans crypto, you hail, but when you see a top Government official using the same crypto, you form blind & deaf...
The govt didn't ban crypto.Unah don come with misinformation again grin

I don't even have a problem with the Government trying to regulate the social media.

But trying to hide under national interest when it is actually PMB'S interest they are protecting is wrong.

Also, why not get a proper court order? Why didn't they report the other tweets that they felt threatened national security?

Rant all you like, PMB's got the constitutional powers to ban the operations of any organisation perceived to be supporting activities believed to unsettle the peace of the nation. You all can now come and justify US action after seeing that your worshipped god's own country has openly towed Buhari's path. US is a good follower of Buhari's lifestyle.
