Nigeria Christian Church mugu sighted

USA has destroyed good life of the people of Yemen, saria, Libya etc promising useless democracy only to give them suffering, poverty, chaos with the aim of extraction of different mineral resources.

Israel destroyed their host (Palestine) all because for expansion yet you did not see any evil in such rubbish

USA kidnapped MADURO but Nigeria Christians did not see any evil in that

The evil USA/Israel combined to destroy Iran to bring their useless demon crazy to Iran

Iran government decided to fight to avoid the kind of Libya and Yemen demon crazy but 80% of Nigeria Christians like you are so senseless and still telling us about the same nuclear threat tactics used in Iraq and Libya

USA will be so disgraced this time and Israel will pay for it's genocide. Try and understand why Iran wants shipment to be done in Chinese YUAN, be assured that Iran will not run out of missiles

I wish you and ur evil USA/Israel bad luck
Please could you educate us on how the Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims are Israel's hosts?

Your time starts now...

Trump did the right thing. Iran will never have nuclear weapon. Any body who is not okay with that can go amd join Iran yo fight the war
With due respect. Never say never. After the war, it would be a strong reason to get that weapon so that they don't feel vulnerable to attacks just like that. See what hitler did after the great war of 1914.. Rearming after the sanctions...

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.

Israel can not feed itself and not a military powerhouse ?

Is it Hegseth that fought in the Iraq war you are referring to as TV host ?

Or you don't know that it's Israel that is doing the hit jobs ?
Re: The US/Israel-Iran War: Did Donald Trump Miscalculate? by EDOLUWA: 9:36pm On Mar 20
You got it all wrong with too much talk to justify your point? Ask yourself: can Iran win this war? Or US/Israel is not capable to see this through? Terrorist don't give up easily and US and Israel know this fact before the first attack. Gbam



Truthissupreme:
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

He did not miscalculate, he knew all this would happen. He secured America with Venezuela Oil first. So Venezuela Oil is paying for the war.

Pls stop feeding us with lies here.
Israel is far richer that So many country including Iran, Nigeria and so many other. Goggle is there for you to verify.
Israel is a tiny nation without oil that has prosper very well. Israel has made use of technology in the area of Agriculture using modern methods of irrigation. In terms of development, Israel is not a third world nation but a developed nation. You lied by saying Trump said America built iron dome. That was a big lie. In fact Trump said America needs to build it's own Iron dome using Israel technology.
Pls stop feeding us with lies
Do you think that you need to have crude oil before you can be a rich country ? If it's that why is Nigeria not rich ?
I am sure that in terms of GDP, Israel will be in the list of the first 40 nations with the highest GDP

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
at this point he would

Nobody is coming to his help, you have to throw anything you can

They said it's to pressure Iran to open homuz, a panick tactic yet some folks think Americans are not desperate about the homuz

Iran is their new God, what they shut America can't open

They are rich but all the riches is stolen!

Even the nuclear tech you might want to boast of was stolen from the US. #FACTSONTHETABLE.

Do you know how many country Israel begs for aid? It’s an European-American creation. Those countries sustain it.

They have practically NOTHING to boast of!

To me, Trump shouldn’t have join the war. He should have allowed Israel to do a better job alone but no he want to also partake of the glory. I keep saying this, the west and US can’t fight the Arab the way Israel would. Israel has the Middle East at the palm of her hand. That’s way they find it so easy to eliminate whoever they wanted. It takes the US many years just to eliminate Usama, it would have taken Israel few days as long as he resides in the Middle East. All the long awaited most wanted of US, the Israelis eliminated all of them within two months since Oct 7 2024. Trump would have sold all the necessary weaponry to Israel including the B2 bomber and allow Israel to handle Iran alone. But as much as I love trump I think he is greedy and want all praises to himself. He want to lead while Nathanyanhu follow his command and the more reason the war has lasted this long. Left for Nathanyanhu to handle this war alone, by now the whole world is will be crying and chanting “free free Iran”
netanyahu is a failure that only barks

But you people love seeing force and stuff

With all the bombing and killing in Gaza hamas is still there ruling it

He has ran away from that war goal with tail between his legs to be barking at Iran that supplies small hamas

Na who survive and stick to their believe be winner of war not the one barking

What do you mean Iran has nothing to lose when in reality they have lost almost everything.....

You guys propaganda that Netanyahu is dead did not fly anywhere now its Trump miscalculate in this war, you guys should ride on it will soon clear in you all eyes when Iran turns to rubles and a new power different from the terrorist regime is installed
this is war not propaganda

Iran is literally prepared to even take the cost of this war so long as the world would bleed too

They literally live as a sanctioned country for decades without economic prosperity but John doe is already crying in America that his burger price is up in 3 weeks

Brother pls stop these your.lies, it's getting out of hand.
Israel begging for aids from European countries is a lie taken too far even.if you hate Israel.
I just educated you why Israel is a great nation but you kept ranting they have nothing.
In terms of Agriculture, I told you they have developed a sophisticated modern method of irrigation that has made them to have sustainable food to feed the entire nation. They don't have rains like we do have in NIgeria yet they can sustain their citizens with foodstuffs which your Nigeria can't.
Pls tell us what Israel has stolen that you.kept ranting .
In technologies, the Israel Jews have made almost a clean sweep in the nobel laurette for science. Most of the scientific innovatio made today are from the Israeli Jew.
To your question of what does Israel has?
Israel is among the countries that have developed in technology in the world.
All the precision strikes that have been eliminating the top Iranian commanders, is it a small thing ? How
Many countries are capable of doing such or you want to.lie again that it is America that is assassinating those Generals ?
Pls stop your lies

To you it's a show of shame but to the Hegseth amd Trump they are doing a marvellous job by decimating the terrorist regime of Iran in the middle east. I think you ought to be more concerned about the show of shame in Nigeria where ragtag Islamic militants are ridiculing our gallant armed forces.
This is what I know.as a show.of shame

It's an eye opener to those allies not to be weak and to form a security alliance against Iran for feature occurrences and again to invest in defense system that could track drones. Iran can't shot drones to Israel it will be detected, they are just using missiles which have been largely degraded and Israel are not bothered rather pushing for this war. And they have made it clear Iran can't get a nuclear weapons
the funny thing is soon you guys would actually have to live with an Iran nuclear weapon

It hasn't stop them from developing it but rather rushing to it now with the present reality it's enemies can pose

Trump is just confused, that's why he is battling with what he claim to have obliterated

This war won't stop Iran from having it's nuke, na USA go beg them to be peaceful with it

I leave you with one current reality that is not distant

This is the failure that Israel has become after promising to wipe hamas from Gaza yet hamas won them and is still standing

Israel and America would again crawl out of this war with pretence of victory, Iran only needs to stand it's ground

Until American started using Israel to destabilize the middle east remember Same Israel has been bombing Qatar, Lebanon, Jordan etc

US didn't miscalculate but successfully exposed Iran, the country is bombing different other countries without end in sight, imagine if Iran has not been taunted but allowed to fully prepared and decided to go on a war by itself. It would have been catastrophic for the whole world.
Re: The US/Israel-Iran War: Did Donald Trump Miscalculate? by TV01(m): 10:42pm On Mar 20
A win for Trump means the regime must change. Anything less is a fail. If they are able to remain in power, the Ayatollahs will claim victory. Even if there is a great degradation of iIrans military capabilities. Efforts to develop nuclear weapons will be redoubled at a later point.

All so called treaties are mere window dressing. The faith driven war impulse will not diminish and never has. The desire to wipe out Israel, the US and ultimately overrun the globe remains unabated. For ROPers, treaties are jut means to withdraw and regroup until they are ready to resume hostilities - openly or covertly.

The results thus far are not terrible. The 3H proxies disabled, the sponsorship of tear.roar globally diminished, the tyrannical e.slam.hic govenrment in disarray, and hopefully civil unrest is looming which may topple the regime.

Having said that, even if the regime does fall, it may just mean a re-calibration of the e-slam.ic problem. Iran as was, was in constant tension with Saudi Araba - sunni vs shia - for e.slamic dominance. With Iran gone, SA (or even Turkey) could step-up their agitation for e.slamic dominance, without the internecine in-fighting between sects to hinder them. Everything that weakens e-slam.ic belligerance is all round good.
