grin grin grin grin The whole world is against America and Isreal, yet, Iran has not achieved any pivotal objectives in this war, Russia has being to donate food and drugs to Iran, amid Isreali continuous precise bombing. Trump has announced that negotiations with Iran is ongoing, I expect an Iran with the upper hand to come out and debunk that statement or refuse to negotiate. It seems Iran is really giving America and Isreal a bloody nose only on nairaland and Nigerian Facebook pages with yoruba Muslims and abokis as posters.

Nigeria trump organization in Nairaland aka NTON will tell you dat American is winning and doesn't need these folks to win, na we dey mumu our self, there are three known proverb by the japanese,1, He who has the gold make the rule,

The Japanese pillars remind us that money is fleeting, emphasizing the importance of patience and the natural flow of circumstances. War, driven by fleeting gains or impulsive decisions, disrupts this natural order and can lead to long-term instability. The principle of readiness teaches us that a wise leader must always be prepared and cautious, understanding that sudden violence can escalate beyond control. Lastly, learning from the past urges us to reflect on historical conflicts and their consequences, recognizing that hasty actions often lead to unnecessary suffering and chaos.

Applying these lessons, initiating war in Iran without thorough understanding and preparation is unwise, as it disregards the natural flow of events, neglects the importance of vigilance, and ignores the valuable insights gained from history. Wisdom suggests that patience, preparedness, and reflection should guide such critical decisions, rather than impulsive conflict.

USA na their Papa anytime anyday... They are all doing this things because of the hate they have for President Trump that's all.

They seem not to like Trump of a guy leading the USA.

Because Trump was busy insulting Europe, he even belittled all the sacrifice Europe made during the Afghan and Iraqi and Syrian war. To thank Europe for being their for US, Trump started "dashing" them tarrif.

Trump and his goons will learn the hardway, that to be a super power you need allies. Israel alone can't go all the way.

I don't think Trump has any goodwill left in Europe grin

In as much as Trump goofed, Iran can't win this war. The worse is that US will go all in, loss men and will end up destroying Iran just like they did in Afghanistan.

That aside, if not that Trump was busy abusing Europe and belittling NATO, Europe would have blindly followed him into Iran and by now it would have been a done deal. But his big mouth and uncoth behavior have landed him in a very tight spot. Come November he and his party will pay a huge price for this mess grin

The decision is final.

While some countries in Europe are denying Trump the use of their naval bases to advance attacks against Iran, neighbouring gulf states have become a pliable tool for US to launch attacks against Iran. European countries get sense pass those Arab nations by far.
The Europeans are wise. Trump wants to fight Iran and he is launching attacks from other peoples countries. When Iran wants to retaliate, they won't hit America (too far away), they hit the neighboring countries where the missiles are coming from.

If he knew he wasn’t capable of going alone into the war, why didn’t he secure their support before starting it?

Some of the Iranian missiles have double range; up to 4,000km. The Italian government has expressed significant concern over Iran's increasing missile capabilities, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni warning that Iran could strike Italy and Europe directly

Be calming down, I don't give a fvck neither can I do sheeet about whatever dfvck is going on in the middle east, Tunibu and his APC urchins and thieves are squeezing our balls here, that's enough wahala already, without having to add external stuff to the mix. My tears have finished, crying for Nigerians unalived by the APC government and it's terrorists arm, so no tears to spear for Iranians nor Americans. So, just belive whatever makes you feel good. If Iran, decimating Americans and Isrealis in your fantasy makes you feel better, by almeans enjoy yourself. cool

if you look at the news from unbiased trump lens you will see that is only trump that is crying for deal and peace

Iran has issued it's statement of not negotiating and even gave a counter proposal of USA should leave middle east etc (basically no deal or concession cos it's winning)

It has left trump to be fooling himself with extending his own deadline etc

Trump is the one loosing allies in Europe, he is the one that still can't open homuz in attestation to the fact that all his military bombing so far is a failure that hasn't weakend Iran enough

Trump is the same clown that gave himself 4-6 weeks to end the war, we are in week 5 and Iran is still able to control even more proxy like houtis to join war, still bomb into Israel etc

Trump is basically now looking for an exit, the whole ground invasion is another threat that he can't carry out

USA can't go in, trump is also using threat tactics to get Iran into a deal but Iran doesn't want or isn't fearing the threat of invasion

Invasion is a long war and trump can't foot it, Iran simply knows trump would bark and exit this war with nothing to show for it.

He has achieved nothing that is why he keeps telling you he destroyed nuclear weapon that he claimed he destroyed last year.

Is it ballistic missile he has destroyed that Iran still has to be bombing Israel?

Is it weaken that he weaken Iran, that it's proxies are more energized to join Iran rather than been scared?

Is it homuz he has been able to open?

Is it regime change and installing a new pro America leader he has been able to achieve?

Nothing he has achieved aside failure, Iran simply needs to outlive him for a win not to go head to head which is the way you people see victory

And Iran is winning in that regard

Trump is learning the hard way never piss off his allies anymore. America may be the best military but its can never win wars alone. He needs his allies. Trump disrespected them, now he is learning the reason the past presidents maintain cordial relationship with them even when the relationship was one sided.

Oga, America is finished.

Even the fact they have someone like Trump as their president should tell you the country is finished.

It's going in the way of Rome, Babylon, Assyria, and other foolish empires of history that thought they were invincible.

These countries blindly supported the US for one reason .... security ... military protection by the most powerful military. Now that Iran has stood up to the mighty one and have them scrambling for help ...these countries are asking themselves....if the US can't prot ct itself from Iran how can they protect us? ...and Iran has warned any country that supports US military will hear from them. Iran has backed up its words . Why would they now open themselves to collect missiles by allowing the US to use their bases? These countries are now making calls to China for military cooperation.

All these because of oil. If there wasn't any oil benefits in this iran war, all these countries will allow US wholeheartedly. Europeans knows that Trump has secured US oil abundantly through Venezuela capturing. So they are careful not to raise Iran wrath (cowards) to avoid oil scarcity for their citizens.
Imagine US cutting 50% of crude import from Nigeria , in few years coming, they will stop buying oil again from any other place than sucking Venezuelas, giving them more balance time to tackle Islamic bandits. By then, the true definition of world power will manifest. Even NATO go collect wotowoto from US.
So you support the oil steal that happened in Venezuela?

North Korea pose real threat to the world and America yet they can’t do anything about it .
