I don write am ooo. Bot did not ban me. You people are just always looking for who to blame for your troubles. The bot is banning you for something else. May be your IP address, may be you are using some words or just merely going against set rules that trigger the anti spam bot. Of course, that doesn't mean that the set rules are correct or fair but one thing is clear, it is not because of writing Israel or criticizing them.
Jovi or whatever, you are trying to paint a picture that the mods are in support of Israel which is clearly not the case. Learn to be responsible for your own actions.
Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza. Well maybe it has been relaxed . Several times I got banned anytime I write anything against them. You know we have been on this forum for long and you know I don't write Israel that way.

Iran should have continued hammering Israel non stop until they surrender, just like Russia is doing to Ukraine.

Presidents who knows these laws are not right would turn around to look for help or support from bigger countries like china for weapons or support but there won't be none.

If that's badly beaten then what do we call Iran's own soundly deafeted.


Lost a lot of high ups lost their nuclear facilities lost their nuclear scientists lost up to 650 IRCG personnels. Israel had freedom of operation in Iranian skies could assassinate or attempt to assassinate any one including the supreme leader if Israel wanted to more than the amount of buildings you claim were destroyed in Israel would have been destroyed in Tehran itself.


Iran was nearly as naked as GAZA let that sink in.

Iran's strategy was shoot and hope it beats the Israeli air defence with sheer speed less than 30 percent did.


Iran quickly lap up peace like a starved dog and was allowed to let out steam.


Israel proposed peace because it's goals have been met Iran accepted it because it could have been worse for them to keep on fighting. We will close the straits of Hormuz they closed nada.

We will stop if they stop. That was pathetic.


If I were Iran and I claimed to be winning the war that I did not start will end when I'm sure me enemies cannot carry out another attack.


Let Iran try to rebuild it's nuclear Facilities let's see what a badly beaten Israel will do to Iran again.

Iran is a conventional adversary, it has a defined and stated military apparatus, it has military structures like military bases, military air defense systems barracks etc which are legitimate military targets, Hamas is a terrorist group they don't have a definite territory, they hide and blend with civilians while attacking IDF forces, The war being fought in Gaza is not a conventional war but an insurgency or asymmetric style warfare.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 BREAKING: Iran has made preparations to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz, in case of any renewed aggression – Reuters.

I think the Western media is trying to manufacture nonexistent reason for the round two of hostilities against Tehran.
Just like Pansophist suggested before, it's possible that Putin & Trump already have a deal so Russia will not intervene on behalf of Iran in exchange US will withdraw military support from Kiev. The same ammunitions they're saying they're running out of stockpile, they're moving them to Israel. Even the ones ukraine have paid for. Everything is heading to Tel Aviv.

I wish Iran good luck, this type of betrayal from a supposed ally and partner need to be studied.
There is also another angle I am looking at it from.

Charity always begins at home, and Russia cannot afford to over-expand to the middle east, when it hasnt even finished the war with Ukraine.

Bear in mind that it has been a western strategy to recruit more cannon folders to fight Russia, and overtime, exhaust Russia to defeat. For example, there have been numerous attempt to open another war front with Georgia, Kazakhstan and even Moldova.

All the protest and political meddling in these countries are testament to that fact. This is also why the conflict with Ukraine is a war of attrition, where Russia is maintaining a minimal loss of its soldiers as possible, at the expense of quick success.

Furthermore, Putin's strategy has always been to conceal Russia's true strength, hence they are using drones from Iran for example. The only time when Russia will expose some of their most deadly weapons will be when the conflict involves Nato.

This can be seen with the oreshnik strike, which happened because the west used their long range weapon inside Russia. After that strike, long range weapons was not used anymore by the west.

So as you can see, it is evident that Russia is still fighting with their gloves on, and helping Iran will involve fighting bare fisted, meaning that it may get to a point where they have to assist Iran with weapons they haven't exposed yet.

No one wants the enemy to know their true capabilities, as such ambiguity is a strategic advantage in itself.

Putin will not enter a trap of engaging in multiple conflicts either near home or far away, only China with her huge population and economy can afford that.

When worse comes to worse, countries will always choose themselves, and alliance can only be relied upon when it doesnt threatens the existence or interest of the parties involved.

Hoaxen:
What's all this, an emotional breakdown? huh

One moment, you're dropping links for me to research, the next moment, you're going on an emotional rant on how the west should have been a flawless civilization throughout history, redefining genocide, and spewing conspiracy theories not backed by any facts.

You dropped twelve bullet points of so called “evils of the west” while ignoring the fact that virtually every nation on earth (including your precious Russia, China, Iran, North Korea etc) has at, at one point or the other done the same or even worse. This begs the question: if you hate the west for all the 12 points listed, why don't hate China, Russia, Iran, North Korea etc for the same reasons?
Going by your 12 points, you should hate every nation on the planet including your nation.

Instead you keep going back years into the past and saying: “eh eh eh but the west, thousands of years ago were evil Viking and stuff. why are you supporting people that were evil so long ago?”. It's funny, you even mentioned colonialism that happened over 300 years ago. No be only 300 years ago, if you like, you can go back ten thousand years ago, when the ancestors of the west were violent cavemen, that killed each other and say “you see, see how violent and evil they are”. The year's 2025 and you're still living in the 1500s.

Let me ask you something, can you even tell the difference between imperial Japan and modern Japan or Nazi Germany and modern Germany?
Are they the same to you?

After WWII, Germany, Japan, Korea and so many countries were virtually in ruins, but look at them today. Top world economies. While you're here still whining about colonialism.
When the West left Africa, did they take the land with them?
Is it not in Nigeria that we discovered crude oil?
Why haven't we developed despite the crude oil?
Is it also the west's fault?
Why didn't the west also prevent, the Asian tigers like Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan etc from developing?

And one more thing: i said “They ARE not tyrants” not “They WERE not tyrants”. Present tense not past tense. Maybe this is the problem with all you propagandists, you all live in the past instead of the present.
Same thing I have drummed into this folks' head for some time now. Everything they accuse the West of their perfect Russia has done probably worse.

Russia just started the largest war on the European continent not seen since the hay days of WW2, but it completely okay with our friends here for Russia to wake up one morning and invade another sovereign nation, Russia took crimea they were all happy, the same people will say Israel is taking lands from Palestinians, Russia took Ukrainian land through conquest and adsorbed them into the russian federation, but they want the Israelis vacate the land they took after a coalition of arab nations decided to invade a smaller neighbouring country.

Civilians are dying in Ukraine, they don't care because it russia, You see them clamouring for russia to use more force, Thousands of Ukrainian civilians have died in the cause of Putin unprecedented invasion of Ukraine, According to them russia has "legitimate" reasons for invading another country, but the Jews shouldn't invade Gaza and rescue it citizens who were kidnapped by terrorist Hamas.

They keep talking about Gadaffi, Which country is currently supporting and sponsoring military coups in africa?? Is Russia not currently instigating regime changes in africa?? Imagine if a pro- russian democratically elected government was toppled by a Western backed military junta, they would have been critical, but since it russia they all decided to turn a blind eye, They are critical of western military facilities on the africa soil, they call it "occupation", but Russia military facilities and mercenaries are termed "partnership". Russia backed mercenaries are currently operating in the continent, We shouldn't forget that mercenaries are not liable to the Geneva convention, they can commit as many atrocities as they want, they are not liable to the doctrines of the convention, the "pleader" Gbadebo19 posted some of the atrocities here carried out by the mercenary group. It is completely fine to our friends, that a mercenary group is currently operating in the continent.


The worst of it all is colonialism. How can a nation, a race, a continent in this era and age still puts the blame on colonialism for its economic woes?? Africans weren't the only race nor continent to suffer the catastrophic consequences of colonialism, I always use Singapore as an example, they got their independence almost the same time as Nigeria, both shared the same colonial master the British, while one has become a first world country with a developed economy the other is still a developing country with corruption problems. While other countries have counted their losses over colonialism and move forward, even becoming better than their colonial masters, many folks here are still blaming the colonial masters for their woes. If care isn't taken, the next generation would still blame colonialism for the underdevelopment of the african continent

Let me formally welcome you to the thread. I'm totally happy to have you on our side, cheers mate

It happened to Uganda and Ghana. The World Bank and IMF respectively withheld loans to both countries until their anti-gay laws are cancelled. A quick search says that the former president didn't sign it. In return, the loan was lent by the IMF to Ghana. For Uganda, the World Bank resumed funding after being re-assured that there will be mitigation measures in the anti-gay law.

Up till today, I never read where China mandated any African country to give up their religion to become atheist or learn Chinese or Muslims in African countries to eat pork. But hey, China bad bad bad 🙄

Eh, that does not pass the smell test.

The Russian military is built to take on all of NATO conventionally.

Assisting Iran directly in its war with Israel would not take much.

Iran had its 600K army on standby. It could have opened up mobilization if he situation demanded, but there was no ground invasion. It kept its air force on reserve. Russia can spare a couple of squadrons of fighters. It can send a few AD systems to plug holes. It can send Spetsnaz to hunt infiltrators.

China should obviously do more. But Russia and Iran were military partners in Syria for more than 8 years. Hezbollah and Iranian elements have fought in Ukraine, although not as much as Russia would prefer. Let's not forget Iran's widows mite, its drones and missiles that it sent from its stockpile right up until the 12-day war started.

Maybe both had agreed on a plan for limited conflict, assured as I was, that Iran would prevail.
But at a certain point, there is copium and there is reality.
This is Putin's blunder.

Why will he back the Russian workers in Bushehr with the full might of the Russian military, and by some reports, even station an AD there? Right there in IRAN. While generals and nuclear scientists in Iran were getting snuffed. That is the Syria playbook. In Iran. That is diabolical.
Then he started giving lamba about no defense pact signed. As if he needed one before demanding drones from Iran.

This is not Russia. It is Putin. Medvedev will do a heck of a lot more than Putin has done.

My hope is that Iran will pivot on time. Not keep waiting on jets, ADs, and whatever help from an ally that may never come.
He repurposed Wagner to African Corps. Who are in Mali as we speak. But Iran that is separated from Russia by the Caspian Sea is too far away.
