If $200billion flows into Nigeria the country will turn into paradise overnight, that's the amount these people want to waste on a war that doesn't even make any sense
And an average American can't afford rent, food or basic medical treatments because they don't have health insurance.
Rent: you see them living on the streets in the cold, not necessarily need to be drug addicts.
Food: you see them moving through trash bins, collecting food stamps, etc.
Medical treatments: can't afford health insurance and as a result, can't get basic treatments as simple as getting a bad tooth removed.
America is a glorified Nigeria, yet their leaders have money to fund wars just like our own leaders have money to syphon

Don't be naive, most American media has reported it. As you can see, no one is invincible in the face of worthy adversary cheesy, Trump is learning his lessons the hard way. His allies are staying away from getting involved for a reason.
All the carrier groups that he moved to the region have been ordered to move far away and we reading different "challenges" everyday that these carriers are experiencing such as leaking kitchens, fire in the bedrooms and so many other cover ups grin

They have done their own, now the Iranian stage of the war to inflict pain is just starting, they have been preparing for this war for 25 years. They are prepared to fight till next year, this people have misread the will of Iran and their capabilities to fight on till victory. Like I have been saying from day one, this war will not end until Iran impose a strategic defeat not a military defeat but a strategic defeat on both America and Israel.

You can believe whatever you want, but this will not be a quick war like they thought they will get and let me tell you they are not running out of missiles like the orange retard told you, I doubt if they have even used 5% of their missile stockpile and those missile factories are buried deep underground, so Iran hold all the card and can easily torpedo the global economy.
I don't think so,US is not hitting Iran hard enough they should stop them from exporting oil totally and see them surrender in weeks.

Let Iran at least try to kpai one small chief of something somewhere (doesn't even have to be US or Israel), otherwise what sort of "war" is this?
This should tell you something, The Iranians are decent people and are not murderers like Israel and America who find joy in killing women and children, the Iranians even send text to Israel armies about any attacks they are about to carry out...your America and Israel are the monsters pretending to be Angels, Open your eyes, America and Iran are the real Wolf in Sheeps clothing.

Iran attack military bases but America and Israel attack Schools and hospitals, spot the difference and tell me who the real murderers are...only a heartless human being will support a murderer, I am not surprised...YOU GUYS ARE THE REAL TERRORISTS TERRORIZING THIS PEACEFUL WORLD.

America and Israel invades sovereign countries, kidnap Presidents, killed millions of people yet you support them, they have killed more people than all the worlds terrorists combined...they are both bloodsucking nations.

Use your head.

Isreal used 4 million cluster bombs in Lebanon war

They are yet to even use a single cluster bomb in this Iran war....

With all their stockpiles ...

I just wonder who wan block cluster bombs for Iran
And you think Israel had been joking around in Iran? Israel is already throwing everything she has and her defensive and offensive capabilities could only go down from this point onward because USA who happened to be the chief supplier of Israel bombs and weapons are also currently involved and has her own battle to fight. Interesting times ahead

For those that have traveled wide they know Islamophobia only exists on social media.
Turkey, Dubai, Qatar, Egypt (varied), Tunisia are Muslim countries with secular beliefs.
That’s why choice of words come to play.

Radical Islam as practiced in Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan is frowned upon, not Islam in itself. There’s almost no Nigerian that doesn’t have Muslim friends or relatives.
The IRGC is the problem not Iran, I would like to visit a secular Iran, one that looks like Oman or Bahrain.
Thousands of Jews are worshiping just fine in Iran. Christians are worshipping just fine in Iran. There are churches and synagogues still there as they have been for centuries. Yea, they won't allow you go around preaching, or trying to convert people, none of the countries you listed let you get away with that either.

Dey internet dey spread lies. writing rubbish. Where is the church in Saudi Arabia? For decades, Christian expats in Saudi worshipped in hiding, in basements.

That would have been a world record! First country to catch F35!

Anyways, it is still a world record! First country to hit a F35

Iran is showing the world that, nothing is invisible!

Iran should put in more effort. If they cannot catch the F35, they should aim for the B2 Spirit. That will be a bigger and world record catch!

In other news, Iran has successfully installed Christmas light on Israel’s refinery.

Forget, Israel is a country operating under the coverage of a supernatural power.
Since the 12 day war between Israel and Iran some months back, Israel have never lost a single war plane or fighter jet to Iran.

None of Israel's fighter jets have been shot down by Iran or Hezbollah or Hamas or Houthi terrorists despite the fact that Israel have completed more than 3,000 bombings and missions in Iran, etc using fighter jets.


If una like, take my words, if you like don't but one thing is for sure; Israel is a phenomenal nation operating under the coverage of an unseen supernatural power.
Lol.
Who is going to tell this dude that Israel is operating under media blackout? You post any news of damage or destruction from within Israel, you're going to jail, nothing less than 5 years imprisonment.
Their prime minister is either dead or in coma and nothing in the media and you still believed in some bulls shit supernatural power

What do you mean nothing known to man can catch those machines? Were the machines not built by man?

And you're asking what the relationship would look like with GCC after the war, so let me ask you, how did North korea build back its country after the Korean war? And what happens to the strait of hormuz which give iran access to the whole world? Cant iran rebuild its country by selling oil and importing infrastructure?

To make the situation clearer to you, if Iran survive this war, there wont be sanction on them at the end of the war, then diplomacy takes back its effect.

And of course one of their biggest hope is China and Russia, which happens to be their biggest trading partner, and if youre asking wether it will be done for free... Of course not, nothing is for free, it is going to be a bilateral trading agreement.

Then you also say that Arabs choose civilization over redicalism... This is the point that i knew that you had seen too much of western media that made you believe that iran is less civilised than Qatar or UAE. A country with stable energy and 97% literacy rate, who have developed their own engineering, medicine, literature.etc... and whom has being in existence for more than 5,000 years... You definitely know nothing about the persians bro.
It looks like some of you loves Iran than nigeria your country.

First of all, the problem is the IRGC and not Iran.

Since the mullahs took over 4 decades ago the country has regressed on all fronts hence the internal conflict.
If you think North Korea is thriving then Nigeria is the best place on earth.

https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/iransource/iran-s-economic-performance-since-the-1979-revolution/

As per diplomacy, it is gone out the window unless a more moderate person gets into power. The Arabs have investments in the US so Iran’s demands of cutting ties with the US and its allies is delusional to say the least. Qatar owns about 30-40% of London.
Also, the Arabs will never forget this attack and remember, China has Russia and OPEC to buy oil from. Qatar has helped Iran greatly, same as Oman but that’s gone. You don’t blow up my main source of income because you’re angry with my friend.

https://israel-alma.org/qatar-is-an-ally-of-iran/

To the last paragraph, please name a drug that was discovered in Iran since the mullahs took over? Iranians are intelligent undisputed, the IRGC is trying to turn them to Somalia. They love their way of life pre-IRGC. They are as smart as the Jews.

For the first time in HISTORY, an American F-35 jet has been hit.

Iranian air defenses are hitting our best jets.

I have seen an interview where Jews were interviewed to choose either a Muslim as a neighbor or a Jew like themselves.

To my surprise they all chose a Muslim as a prefable candidate to be their neighbor, I don't know why?

So, to me, I believe there should be a greater project in painting Muslims negetively around world, including social places like this one, versus the real Islam and Muslims on ground.
Did they interviewed 99% of the Jews?

Re: USA F-35 Fighter Jet Shot By Iranian Missile - CNN by CaseSensitive(m): 9:30pm On Mar 19
This is huge. The F35 made a landing but the most important thing here is not even whether an F-35 was shot down. It's the fact that an Iranian self dense was able to identify, track, target lock and shoot an F-35. US won't keep shut about the stealthiness of the F-35. Guess it's not very stealth now.

So you are comparing the defenceless women and children in Gaza to Iran? Maybe if their success have not come from murdering 70,000 poor Gazans they would have been better prepared to face Iran. I am not going to go back and forth with you, I stand on my prediction, that this will be a long war, while Iran will take massive damage but it will not stop until it impose a strategic defeat. You can come back and quote me two months or three from now
My prediction; they’ll make a mistake- The IRGC, Iranians will be asked to temporarily evacuate the country through Syria or Iraq. A massive lethal campaign will be carried out and infantry will be stationed in Iran.
The gulf states and US will be the ones to transition in the new government.

Let’s meet in 2 months.

I said Iran has thousands of Jews worshipping there fine. Your comeback is that Iran has between 8,000 and 15,000. Did you fail math class? What's this rubbish? grin

@seun, kindly confirm if we all read the same information on threads. I believe there’s a delusional bug that translates your contents to fit into a narrative for a select few.

Time and again F35 have crashed in the US but you must understand that nothing known to man can catch those machines also, some have wingman drones.

I have questions for pro-IRGC madness. Let’s say Iran destroys Saudi, Qatar and UAE;

What would be their relationship with these nations afterwards? They’re Persians and the others are Arabs.
How would they rebuild their nation in complete isolation?
If their hope is China and Russia do they believe it would be done for free?
The Arabs chose civilization and modernization over radicalism, but trust me after this war all Arab countries will enter the arms race and I hope Iran would be happy with a heavily militarized Middle East, then they wouldn’t need the US to destroy them.

Arabs are royalty and would never take orders on the type of Islam to practice from Persian mullahs… NEVER! They love luxury and affluence!
So what do you suggest they do? When their closeness to those guys in religion and culture is being disregarded for USD. What do you suggest they do even as they are being attacked from the territories of the GCC?

If you don't invent drugs, you are not doing anything?

How many satellites have Somalis put in orbit. Iran has a space program and has done this.

How many missile systems have been built in Somalia, compared to Iran.

Iran built the low cost Shaheed that Russia, the USA and others are now copying.

The anti-aircraft missile system that just tagged that F-35 jet was built in Iran, by Iranians.

Iran builds their own train coaches, and more infrastructure.

The literacy rate of women in Iran ballooned under the mullahs. Much higher that Nigeria or Somalia. And it is not literacy of Quran

And this is through 40 decades of sanctions. Sanctions that have recently been tightened to specifically make the citizens suffer more. Something said by Nancy Pelosi and by one of Trump's officials.


You want to keep lying, acting like Iran is Afghanistan.
