Israel is having a fun filled moment, they won't stop even if America pulls out.
Israel that cannot feed itself!

Let America step aside and you will see how they will run with there tails in-between their legs!

Israel is not a military power house! All that makes it a power house is the US.

Is Khamenei an American?
Are all the cleared IRGC leadership Americans?
Chief you know how many boko haram leaders have been killed? Has that stopped them from carrying on? You think it is easy to kill an ideology

Iran can no longer afford to export terrorism around the world, which represents a significant defeat for their radical Islamic ideology.

The once formidable axis of resistance is now ineffective.

Under the Ayatollah government, Iran can no longer lead its neighbours or create a united front with Arab countries.

It was at this point Trump lost the war
everyday they are begging the Iran people to come out and take out their govt

But it's not adding up, the assault remains officially illegitimate as long as Iran people are concerned

So how do you "free" a people that don't need you poison called freedom

They are stuck there and just barking

It was not a miscalculated

If there is any side that miscalculated it's the Iranians. You people said it will be a wold war and that china and Russia will help. Who miscalculated?

Everything is going as planned.
It's the risk no U.S president was willing to take. Because of the strait of hormuz and the entire middle east crisis. But trump took that risk and winning.

It will be over very soon. Just chill

This will make trump the most greatest U.S president. Just after Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. A feast no president have ever reached in recent time.

Truth be told, both the USA and the State of Israel never expected the Islamic Republic of Iran to fight back in this very aggressive manner.

They had thought that by taking out the Supreme Leader, the next move would be a walk in the park.

The allies of the USA have been made to bear most of the brunt of the ongoing war.

However, there are many ways to kill a rat.

Since the Islamic Republic of Iran is proving stubborn, the USA and the State of Israel would have no choice but to go full throttle in order to bring her to her knees.

It's just a matter of time.

He has now till month ending to pass a budget or his govt collapses, yet he is concerned about this war

The heradin coalition keeping him are not going to vote for Iran war over the exemption from war bill they are asking him for which he ditched for Iran funding bill
Re: The US/Israel-Iran War: Did Donald Trump Miscalculate? by bluefilm:
He goofed big time

Iran, with the help of China and Russia is now poised to put an end to the Petrodollar which is the only system that made America so economically relevant all these years

Prepare for the end of the empire that was once called The United States of America

A necessity to prevent World War III. No Islamic country should be allowed to create nuclear weapons. Period!
Science is open source. You can't gatekeep nuclear weapons for ever at some point series of wars would have been fought with nukes, currently it's just a hype but with time it will be a normal weapon of war

Exactly what I mean,
Iran is a paper tiger,
They can only fight on because it is an ideology and not because they are in any way formidable.

No, he didn't, everything is going according to the plan. Even Israel is not worried. So let's all sit back and enjoy the show. People's expectations are off the roof, they(Public) expected a clean sweep, but we the general public are not war experts so we don't know and don't have first-hand information on what's going on. Finally, USA & Israel won't start what dey can't finish, or go to war with someone they can't win. It's totally impossible.
like they start in Afghanistan and run away later 🤣🤣🤣🤣

. But if it was Iran who has total control over Israel or American airspace, and thousands of Americans or Israelis gather like that, we all know Iran would have killed all of them.

He underrated Iran so badly grin

All US bases in the middle east have been targeted though Iran is feeling the heat too.

Trump shouldn't make the mistake of sending troops to Iran for a ground invasion, it'll be a repeat of Vietnam 2.0 grin

Let’s call a spade a spade: Iran and these Islamic extremists have terrorism in their DNA—from the ones typing on Nairaland to the ones causing havoc in Maiduguri. We are talking about an ideology that sees dying on a battlefield with a dagger in the chest as 'martyrdom.' If they are this stubborn with just ballistic weapons, imagine the catastrophe if they get their hands on a nuclear bomb. The world would be finished

Let’s uproot the weed now to avoid the crops undergrowth.

Not at all. They know the consequences. Their aim is to get rid of Iran supreme leader and weaken their military leaders and hierarchy. After that, they can di escalate which seems working for them. And all these are powered by Israel but brought to you by the America. One day it will be over, but the damage would have been crazy.
Deescalation without occupation is just giving the Iranians time to prep again. Trump achieved naught
Re: The US/Israel-Iran War: Did Donald Trump Miscalculate? by presiade(m): 6:41pm On Mar 20
The orange buffoon probably thought the Iranian government architecture would crumble the minute their SL is taken out. He was wrong! Those monsters aren’t giving up an inch! He miscalculated big time. Although, I’m highly neutral like Switzerland because none of the warring parties mean well for my country of birth, Nigeria.

There is no accurate calculation in a war. Iran like the Houthis will run out of weapons.
For weapons that are Iranian made. U feel they are Nigerian Army 😂
Re: The US/Israel-Iran War: Did Donald Trump Miscalculate? by IsraeliAIRFORCE: 6:42pm On Mar 20
It’s not accurate to say that the U.S. and Israel did not expect Iran to fight back aggressively. The reality is that the U.S. and Israel took action against Iran because the country was approaching a point of near-total immunity, showing capabilities that intensified their threats. The advancements in missile and drone technology were becoming increasingly alarming for the U.S. and Israel. If left unchecked, Iran could become so rogue that its ability to export terrorism and destabilize countries would only escalate, posing a significant risk to Western civilization as we know it today.

Lifestone:
Over what exactly.
Toe this war reveal why the entire Middle East Countries are weary of Iran and why they all want USA protection. Imagine it's Iran vs Saudi Arabia, Saudi would have been in ruins now. Secondly, attacking your next door neighbor is simply not Smart
Get this simple fact

When your next door neighbor houses your enemy, they are not to be trusted anymore

Think of the Russia and Ukraine war

Why is Russia so opposed to Ukraine joining NATO?

The conflict is not required since they have already destroyed Iran's nuclear sites about 8 months back.

US and Israel shouldn't have either because they are the biggest terrorist countries.

You have a war that is crippling your allies in the Middle East

A war that is bleeding global economy including your home inflation

A war you are begging for allies to join you one minute and expressing frustration the next

A war that you can no longer control, typically you claim you have won but can't pull out because the ball is now in Iran court while they tag you along for fight

A war that you are needing more budget approval running in hundreds of billions

A war that you say one and Iran say five not looking to surrender

A war to help a supposed people against their leaders yet the people have left you in the cold without support

A war that you keep "obliterating" an already obliterated nuclear joke

It's just the beginning for trump, Iran has nothing to loose
A war that punished people who tortured and killed innocent protesters by killing them and their families!
