Hear yourself...Then why did US rush to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities? Why did Israel launch the attack? Since you guys are so confident that Iranian scientists that have been killed so far has affect on the nuclear programme. Then Israel should have relaxed and enjoy life without fear of a nuclear armed Iran but Netanyahoo is still crying to this day as usual. undecided
Israel assassinations of Iran nuclear scientists over the years have slowed down Iran's pursuit of a nuclear weapon it has never stopped it nobody claims that.

So yeah in the regard of slowing down Iran's nuclear ambitions the deaths of Iran's nuclear scientists have had positive effects.

Read and understand okay

Na their work
Oga abeg explain wetin you mean by na their work. Are you saying this might be another false flag from the chosen ones like the USS liberty. This is a very big accusation please tell us more.

https://www.rt.com/news/556787-israel-uss-liberty-incident/

On June 8, 1967, Israel attacked an American intelligence ship named the USS Liberty. The incident left two-thirds of the ship’s crew dead or injured, in an intentional assault by the Israeli military, yet the US government’s response was to move on and become closer with Tel Aviv. It could be argued that this set a precedent for Israel to kill US citizens with impunity.

The fourth explanation, which stemmed primarily from a BBC investigative documentary, released back in 2012, was that the attack could have been a false-flag operation gone wrong. This points to the involvement of US intelligence officials, who are said to have discussed the possibility of a joint US-Israeli operation to sink an American ship in order to blame it on the Egyptians.

Hanukkah is more than a sweet tradition;[/color]
it is the reality of a small nation facing a brutal empire that seeks to destroy its soul. This ancient spirit of defilement returned on October 7, when the enemy came with a premeditated plan to commit sexual terrorism and erase Jewish identity, mirroring the armies of Antiochus.

The moral darkness is absolute, seen in enemies who withhold food from their own children for propaganda and even in civilian doctors who become murderers of the innocent.


Yet, even in the deepest darkness, the Jewish spirit refuses to be extinguished. We remember the hostages who, deep within terror tunnels, fought to hold onto the light by singing Hanukkah songs just before their execution.

While ancient enemies turn to dust, the nation of Israel lives on because of the Guardian of Israel, resting on the eternal promise that the light will always overcome the darkness.

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) convened a meeting in Qatar today to discuss the international stabilization force that is supposed to be deployed in Gaza. Turkey was not invited to the meeting.
Trump claims that sixty countries are ready to send forces to participate in the international stabilization force in Gaza.

An Israeli political source told the Saudi Al-Hadath channel that Israel informed the US that it will not agree to Turkey and Qatar taking part in the international force in Gaza: "This is a red line we will not accept."

An EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY in Jerusalem
A rare 1,300-year-old pendant, stamped with the symbol of the seven-branched menorah, unearthed in a major Israel Antiquities Authority excavation near the Temple Mount, testifies to the presence of Jewish life during the Byzantine period in Jerusalem.

Another testimony that Jewish presence endured throughout centuries.

Dr. Casey Babb writes:

If you aren't aware of what's going on right now, let me break it down for you.
Jews worldwide are being hunted down and killed. It's only day three of Hanukkah, and already we've seen:

1. Jews murdered by a jihadi father-son duo in Australia that seriously wounded many people, including my friend Arsen Ostrovsky thinking of you, brother).


2. Students at Brown University were murdered in a class being taught by Rachel Friedberg, a Jewish professor who leads the school's Judaic Studies program.

3. A Jewish professor of nuclear physics at M.I.T. was murdered in his home today.

4. Orthodox Jews in New York were violently assaulted on the subway.

5. Violent Palestinian protestors disrupted a peaceful Hanukkah celebration in Amsterdam. Dozens were arrested after police had to physically surround families celebrating the holiday to protect them.


6. A Jewish family in California had their home hit by gunfire because they had Hanukkah decorations up. One of the criminals shouted, "Free Palestine."

7. An Islamic terrorist attack has been foiled in Poland at a Christmas market.

8. An Islamic terrorist attack has been foiled in Germany at a Christmas market.

9. A Palestinian terrorist attack was foiled in California.


10. France has cancelled its NYE celebrations because of the terrorist threat level.

11. Canada's Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre has said that a terrorist attack in Canada is now "a realistic possibility."

I've been studying terrorism for 20 years, and I've never seen things this bad. The West is under attack – full stop. The question now is, what the hell are we going to do about it?

That is if you even know which lane you are. Answer, why has Netanyahoo been accusing Iran again of building more missiles and even ICBM if truly Israel has destroyed all launchers and buried Iranian missiles? Netanyahoo has been conveying message to Iran through emmissaries that Israel is not planning another strikes cause the rate at which Iran is rearming is very alarming. He even relayed a message through President Putin that Israel does not plan to resume hostilities. May be you are not current. cheesy cheesy

⚡Trump:

Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us.

The illegitimate Maduro Regime is using Oil from these stolen Oil Fields to finance themselves, Drug Terrorism, Human Trafficking, Murder, and Kidnapping.


For the theft of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Therefore, today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela.

America will not allow Criminals, Terrorists, or other Countries, to rob, threaten, or harm our Nation and, likewise, will not allow a Hostile Regime to take our Oil, Land, or any other Assets, all of which must be returned to the United States, IMMEDIATELY.

When i see WriterNG and that other fellow talking about china and Russia coming to Venezuela aid in the event of a "fictional" military incursion by the US.. I just shake my head. Kids!!!!!

First of all Russia and China lack the political power nor will to even muster an intervention, China knows a military intervention in Venezuela brings the issue of Taiwan to the table, China intervention in Venezuela makes the Taiwanese matter fair game!!. Knowing fully well that the US Policy of "deliberate ambiguity" can flip at any time, there could easily be a paradigm shift regarding US relations with Taiwan!!

Russia is even worse, they lacked both the political will and military prowess to even mount a response. There's the issue of Ukraine that's still needs resolving. Without the US there will be no peace deal in Ukraine. They don't even possess the ability to project power around the globe...They have a track record of watching from the sidelines, and has times without number proven to be an unreliable partner... beside she is a country that is facing logistical problems in a war close to home. I wonder how they plan to supply Maduro half way around the world with weapons...


In a military intervention by the US.. like I have always said the airspace around Venezuela would be a restricted zone, just like we saw a few days ago. US military air assets would enforced a no flight zone around Venezuela airspace restricting air traffic. except maybe XI and Putin are crazy enough to want a military confrontation with a nuclear power, I don't see the duo taking the risks by engaging the US military directly because of Venezuela.

While the US navy would also initiate a naval blockage around Venezuela, no vessels would be allowed into the country.. In conclusion mate there will be no foreign supports for Venezuela

The best Russia and China would do is make statements of criticism, and say they stand by Venezuela, and offer Maduro a place to stay out his retirement!!

P.s there is one big propaganda making the rounds around the thread that Russia has the ability to out produce Nato and the US in terms of weaponry!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Russia can't even out produce the US alone talkless the bulwark of NATO's entire defence industry, for emphasis sake the US have the biggest defence industry in the world, the biggest defence firms are american owned firms.. nobody produces more weapons nor export more weapons that the US defence industry.

These misconceptions are because of the current output by Russia defence industry at the present time. Lets factor that US nor Nato are currently not in a state of war!!, the US economy nor her industrial might are not currently being tailored for war, thus weapons aren't produced in the rate the Russians are producing.. Russia entire economy and industrial might are currently been used to sustain the war in Ukraine

These were the same mistake the Nazis and the imperial Japanese empire made, they underestimated the industrial might of the United States of America..and they paid dearly for it.

There's no universe that Russia out produces the US in terms of military tech.. Russia should be compared to Germany and France not the US.
Potus on social media today, I am ordering A TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela,"

Like I earlier stated on this thread that any potential conflict with Venezuela would be a closed affair, there won't be any intervention from any country.. as the airspace and surrounding waters around Venezuela would be a restricted military zone.. The US military via her Airforce and Navy would enforced a military blockage around Venezuela

Dem no born any country to challenge the status quo in the Americas.

⚡Venezuela has released a statement. Here is the English translation of both pages:

On the night of today, December 16, 2025, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, violating International Law, free trade, and freedom of navigation, has issued a reckless and serious threat against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

On his social media, he assumes that Venezuela’s oil, land, and mineral wealth are his property, and that Venezuela must therefore hand over all its wealth immediately. The President of the United States intends to impose, in an absolutely irrational manner, an alleged naval military blockade against Venezuela with the objective of stealing the riches that belong to our Homeland.


Venezuela, in the full exercise of the International Law that protects us, of our Constitution and the laws of the Republic, reaffirms its sovereignty over all its natural resources, as well as the right to freedom of navigation and free trade in the Caribbean Sea and the world’s oceans. Consequently, in strict adherence to the United Nations Charter, it will fully exercise its freedom, jurisdiction, and sovereignty above these warmongering threats.

Immediately, our Ambassador to the United Nations will proceed to denounce this serious violation of International Law against Venezuela.

We call on the people of the United States and the peoples of the world to reject by all means this extravagant threat, which once again reveals the true intentions of Donald Trump to steal the riches of the country that gave birth to the United Liberating Army of South America and to our Liberator, Simón Bolívar.


The people of Venezuela, in perfect popular, military, and police unity, will know how to defend their historic rights and prevail along the path of Peace.

Mr. Donald Trump explicitly puts forward the following interventionist and colonialist expression: “until all the oil, land, and other assets that were previously stolen from us are returned to the United States.” His true intention, which has been denounced by Venezuela and by the people of the United States in large demonstrations, has always been the appropriation of the country’s oil, land, and mineral resources through massive campaigns of lies and manipulation.


Venezuela will never again be a colony of an empire or any foreign power and will continue, together with its people, along the path of building prosperity and the unrestricted defense of our independence and sovereignty.

The Venezuelan people, in perfect popular, military, and police unity, remain firm in the unrestricted protection of their territory, their wealth, and their freedom. With our Father Liberator, we say: “Fortunately, it has been seen that a handful of free men can defeat powerful empires.”
