Who told u so. Are u working in pentagon to assume the US is battling with shortages of man power. Do u know the worth of weapons us gave Ukraine and the number of bases it has all over the world? Even if it has depleted weapons it is more than capable to manufacturing more within short time.

All these kids with no critical thinking just typing bullsheet online wouldn't stop to amaze me
I am tired of all this children on nairaland analysing things about US up and down here. US have gone thousands far more than both China, Russia and North Korea combined on earth.

The German chancellor made fun of Donald Trump and his war in Iran. Trump threw a tantrum and ordered that troops in Germany be scaled down. Trump is a child.

How is he a child? Since they are bold enough to think for themselves, they should protect themselves by themselves simple.

Trump is doing Germany a favour. US has over 800 military bases worldwide. These bases gave the countries a security blanket ... that should any country want to wage war will have to confront the almighty US military. Europe ...South Korea ...Saudi Arabia ...UAE .... etc .... are now seeing the US is being humbled by sanctioned Iran ...and worse...the US is moving defense weapons from other countries to the warfront leaving their countries defenseless . These countries are now realizing the US cannot defend itself against Iran ...how can they defend us against our adversaries such as Russia ...North Korea ... China? .... we're on our own. Even worse ....Iran is attacking countries that have US bases...or support them.....so why should we continue to host them?

US is really battling with shortages of manpower and ammunition! Iran had really exposed them!

BTW, US should avoid any confrontation with China, Russia and even N-Korea for the next 10year. If they mess up with any of those at this level of ammunition shorty, the US will be a goner!
Self delusion. Why can't any of those second class upper world power go for the defense of Iran. A country that have up to 5k troops with state of the art weapons in just a single country outside it shores and have them all over the world like that, even in the next 50years I'm not sure if those three countries combine together can still face America.

THE WORST PART OF BEING A TRUMP SUPPORTER... Is being too stupid to realise you have been outsmarted by an idiot
What right do you have to call anyone an idiot when the Jagajaga baron is leading your own country? grin You probably don't realize Nigeria has become one of the biggest joke in the entire world

Trump is looking for ways to make his country more powerful and feared, which is the norm in international politics. Meanwhile, they're beating Nigerians blue black all around Africa and our weakling don't even have the balls to call them out yet or issue strong warnings... And you dey here dey call people idiots grin
Shameless guy grin

Buy solid data and watch you tube. You're talking in a bubble The Ukraine War did stretch American weapons and Iran is also stretching.it. For me to break it down that is why businesses do not sell on credit so that they have liquid capital. Or why banks don't like loaning money in Nigeria, in this our world the winner is the one always collecting. To break it down further if you earn 5K Every day and spend just N1K you will have 4 x30 - 120k a month. If you spend all you have then you will have you will have 0K.

Trump is the weapon fashioned against America. grin

This is in response to the German chancellor insinuating that Iran humiliated America by refusing to show up to the negotiating table in Pakistan.

How Trump built a business empire with such a petty mindset needs to be studied at Havard. grin
His dad built the business empire not him. He's too dumb to build anything. The only set of people with worst in IQ than Trump on earth are the headless mob and that's why they are headless.

Manpower, they have but short on ammo, yes. They all have nukes. USA didn't have need to produce so much ammo all these while because they felt there's little or no need for. But now,there's an awakening. No matter how badly their ammo is depleted, they are still the World power. Imagine still maintaining large troops in the world as still maintaining cool head

Trump is a spoilt kid, combined with the fact that senility is catching up with him, when you grow to a certain old age, you start behaving once again like a kid.

Hypocrites want the whole world to come to the side of a tyrannical IRGC but want NATO allies to deny the US assistance during the war.

They should be relocated to the UAE.

US haters love societies where despots abuse human rights. Just look at South Africa, Nigeria, Afghanistan, no value for human life.

The NATO chief has told Europe countless times over, you’re nothing without the US, but somehow they want to test his resolve.

Can the UK create an army in its current state. Mass mutiny would be the answer.

I support this move. Valuable equipment too.
This is the problem with you Trump supporters.

The US military high ups had warned Trump against starting this war. That alone was reason enough to go ahead.

He did not seek NATO's advice before embarking on this war. Now, he wants them to clean up the mess he created.

If Israel had warned him not to start this war, i am certain he would have listened.

He went there to fight another mans war. Thats the real tragedy here.

But why will Europe that knows she is a weakling be talking when big boys talk. Spain and Germany be mumu. They will be invaded. Russia will stop the war with Ukraine and take over Germany.
Don't talk to your landlord any how except your house is ready.

Chinedu, try dey think for yourself. This line is stale, if Trump likes, he should withdraw all his soldiers. Europe no longer send him papa. In Games of Thrones, a Lannister said " He's no king, if he says I'm the king'. That statement fits Trump.

This your assumption that he created a mess and wants EU to clean it up.is.most ridiculous
If you do your research well, you will know that the US don't use the strait of Homuz. Europe and Asia are the ones using it most. So if Trump tells Europe that they should help protect the route they used for their energy supply, is there anything wrong in that bearing in mind that NATO benefits tremendously from the US ?

MAYBE THE FACT HE SLAUGHTERED 200 SCHOOLGIRLS IN THEIR CLASSROOMS LAST MONTH HAS SOMETHING TO WITH IT?

OR THAT HE PORTRAYED AMERICA'S FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE AS "MONKEYS", SINCE HE IS A SICK, EVIL RACIST?

WHAT YOU NEED TO TELL US IS WHY YOU WORSHIP A MAN WHO CONSIDERS YOU A "MONKEY" BECAUSE OF YOUR SKIN COLOUR.

Iran that is filled with ancient of days warfares and armies. This Americans (Western Guys) made almost all the modern weapons both Iran and co are using today to threaten them same people who made all the weapons, Fighter Jets, Military Submarines, Warships, Attack Boats and all kinds of warfares name them. These are same people you want to eliminate.

Firstly, I’m not a Trump supporter but rather a supporter of western values, respect for humanity.

French President is sitting in prison, Epstein died in prison, powerful men in the west go to prison, Nigeria has no consequences even for the gravest of crimes.

Isreal is an ally to the US, there are security pacts that they have. Isreal ensures americas interests in the Middle East is preserved, their americas eyes and ears on the ground.
Are you opining america should abandon its ally?
If Mossad falls do you know what other intelligence agencies would extract from them?
Do you know that the US only sells certain military tech to a select few countries and Isreal is one of them?
Also, if the UK went to war with another country would they need to ask before the US joins the war?
