Saturnalia:
When war rages between Countries or Groups, Players often resort to extreme measures just to compel the opponent to surrender and fulfill one’s will.

The unlawful Amerikan bombing of the Iranian School that killed 156 schoolchildren is an example.

This is also the reason why the United Snakes of Amerika always bombs Hospitals, Infrastructures, Power Plants & Schools in every Country where she wages war.

So in all fairness, I support Iran 100% on this move with a tumbler of chilled Heineken Beer.

After all, all is fair in love and war.

So, why did you skipped Supleme leather wink

, why didn't you mention his name too cheesy

The unlawful American bombing of Iranian school that killed 156 school children, and you forgot to mention supleme leather too, Ali Larijani and others grin

Some Islamic terrorist sympathisers here are happy to cut of the nose in order to spite their face. Like it is America that will suffer it.

You are not broad in international politics and why Iranians are more learned and educated than Nigerians per world statistics.

When you take out the internet of the Middle East, what happens to Visa and Mastercard? What happens to Microsoft, Oracle and Tesla?

What do happens to demand for USD and how does it impact the US stock market in general?

Same way you said oil prices not affecting go the US and we know where they are at now!

Re: Iran Is Considering Asserting Control Over Seven Major Undersea Internet Cables by wallrichy: 3:35pm On May 10

US didn't really deal an enough heavy blow on Iran.

Heavy knockout should have been handed to Iran without regard to that power infrastructure that US actually avoided and protected infact.

It's not often that an enemy unclothedness comes open, therefore, whenever you have such an open. Go straight ahead and destroy everything destroyable before people would intensify on peaceful resolution. US shouldn't have restrained Israel from further destruction of Iran and killings of those IRGC drunks.

Israel has a better understanding of middle East warfare. Israel knows the button to press and destroy Iran present and future.

US military generals ...and experts all warned against going to war with Iran ... that the US will lose. The US went to war with Iran before...using proxy Iraq. Didn't win. Iran been preparing since for a showdown with the US ... and we're seeing how well they are prepared and how the US is not....the reason the US is not entering the strait....the reason why they have moved out the aircraft carriers 200 miles out to sea ..the reason their battleships etc do not come anywhere close to the Iranian coast. Iran is very strategic .... this is just another card. The strait was open to all ...free of charge ...no controls .....the cables were safe...but Trump listened to Netanyahu and swallowed the bait....went to war with Iran on behalf of Iran who has backed out from the firefight and moved to fight women and children in Lebanon. Controlling the cables is not as bad as strapping a few mines on them . Iran has the US and basically half the world by the balls. Countries economies can collapse....Europe will now pressure Trump...grab him by the ehmmm.n

I'm certain USA will not be affected, but watch Islamic terrorist supporters jubilate as if they've won a lotto, they're always so happy with death death death or destroy destroy destroy. Pathetic lots

You don’t understand global politics … USA won’t be affected ke? Do you know what “influence” means in global politics?

I told people when the Russo-Ukro escalation happened that the unprecedented “actions of the west, especially USA ” which they think will cripple Russia and end the conflict would only lead to global issues.

As US Dey take actions , Europe Dey realize say dem jonze putting so much into the American system

Taking Russia off Mastercard, Visa et al for example automatically Made the Europeans look to create their very own payment system

Energy supply? EU is instead looking towards Nigeria and indeed Africa (Libya , Algeria especially)

DEFENCE? EU has put together a multi-year framework on increased DEFENCE spending (this year saw a 60% rise.

Let me add that France has already fully withdrawn their gold from US reserve. Germany to follow soon.

All of these reduces Americas influence , already many EU states have snubbed America on the Iran issue which is why the US hasn’t yet invaded.

Influence is the currency of power.

You still not broad in world dynamics!

No subsea internet passing through that straight will affect Africa. Asia and Europe are the continents that will be impacted.

What does Nigeria have at stake? Will ships stop coming to lift crude oil and LNG?

The guy with the world dominance in payments and d technology feels the brunt the most.

Where is dollar pre war and currently?

Settle down and learn. Iran is playing 3D chess! They have mad and critical plays.

You think they don’t know where Saudi Aramco is located? They know and only saving it for the last days.

It seems Iran is holding more cards than what trumpo thinks, Welcome to the penalty phase of FAFO

funny enough the cable will not affect the US it will affect Africa, middle east and the weakling in Europe who are not fighting them. Iran is a terrorist nation this i know for a fact

Re: Iran Is Considering Asserting Control Over Seven Major Undersea Internet Cables by yemre: 4:21pm On May 10

Never knew we had so many terrorists on this platform. Iran is contemplating tampering with the Internet cable belonging to other continents and some terrorists are saying it's a welcome development.

But if the effect comes back to hunt your own country and things escalate, you would blame your president, forgetting that your country rely on the west for a number of things. So, when they're in crisis, the spiral effects hit your country too.

In the first place, Iran has no business blocking the strait of houmouz because it didn't create it. But blocking it now has affected oil prices all over the world but you're here blaming your president that fuel is now 1,350.

Just continue cheering them on. We are all in it together.

A terrorist will always be a terrorist.
