Na Tinubu the talk like president?

franchasng:
Old age affect people differently.

Some it makes them act like children.

Some, it turns them to talkative.

Some it makes them more stubborn and wicked.


Trump doesnt talk like a President, talk more of President of the world, the President of the most powerful country on earth, he needs to do better angry

Trump and his regular cho cho cho.
Iranians are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, celebrating those who have imprisoned them for decades and despising those who seek to free them.
Religion is the opium of the people.
Crying more than the bereaved

Very good. Terrorise the terrorists. Not tag them as repentant
I've always known that Quran did not say a Muslim should be buried within 24 hours.

It's all bcoz of the harsh weather of the saudis and they technically smuggle that into Muslim practices.

Khomene was killed since February 28 and they embalmed him till now while our own Muslims in Nigeria will not even wait for the children of the deceased to arrive before they'll bury him.

I don't know who's more Muslim.

I keep telling you Google is your friend. See below, all US has to do is bomb Kherg Usland to oblivion. They CHOOSE not to!
Another good question you shld ask is why they haven’t totally bombed the island to oblivion if truly Trump wants to win the war

Oga you are either funny or ignorant of world affairs. Iranians are Persians and their system of governance and life is unique to them, must they follow that of the imperialist, the west? Why must the western system of government be imposed on others? Who told you they need liberation? Oga the US like a thief is after their oil and nothing else. If the US wanted to free then then why bomb their civilian infrastructure ie schools, universities, hospitals, ports, airports etc. Why sanction them for many years so the people will be impoverished and rise against the government, why threaten to end their civilization?
Anyway between you and Iranians who needs freedom more? Do you even know that for 50 years Iran has been among the top 5 countries in the world that produces the most engineers even sometimes surpassing the US? Do you know that 80% of destroyed infrastructure has been rebuilt since the first ceasefire? In you Nigeria road will spoil and remain bad for 10 years. Do you know that despite all the bombing on Terhan there is still stable electricity? Do you know Iran is not indebted to world bank and IMF as your own country is, infact since 2006 they have had no dealing with those western institutions. Do you know Iran under sanctions mastered refining process and reversed engineered parts needed to maintain production whole your own nnpc despite all the billions spent cannot produce 1 liter of petrol.
Go on YouTube educate yourself about Iran, despite all the sanctions on them, the life expectancy of males is 78 and females 80 years at per with the US and UK.
Oga guess which country has the lowest life expectancy in the world, not Sudan, Chad, Burkina Faso, Somalia, Burundi, the country that takes the award for the lowest life expectancy of 51 years at birth is NIGERIA!
So before you talk of Iran, think of your own country.

Same reason they haven't bombed other infrastructures:
Because they want to destroy IRGC but NOT Iran, which they will then inherit and have to rebuild!

Do you truly, in your heart of hearts, believe that if Trump wanted to destroy Kherg Island (90% of Iranian crude), he can't. Or if he wanted to bomb critical infrastructure, what exactly is stopping him?

Even Trump was not that stupid to bomb the island.
I did you the favour of asking AI about the implications of Trump bombing kharg. As per critical infrastructure, you sef ask AI to inform you.

"The US refrained from destroying the core oil infrastructure on **Kharg Island** primarily to prevent a catastrophic spike in global energy markets and to maintain leverage for diplomatic negotiations. While the US military *did* execute precision strikes in March 2026 that eliminated the island’s air defenses, radar sites, and military garrisons, President Trump intentionally left the actual oil export terminals intact.
### Why the US Avoided Destroying the Oil Infrastructure
* **Global Economic Fallout:** Kharg Island handles roughly 90% of Iran's crude oil exports. Obliterating it would take millions of barrels of oil offline instantly, threatening to push global oil prices past $150 a barrel and trigger a worldwide economic shock.
* **Diplomatic Leverage & De-escalation:** President Trump explicitly linked the safety of the oil terminals to Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Keeping the infrastructure intact provided a bargaining chip, and strikes were paused after progress was reported in regional negotiations.
* **The Complexity of Seizure:** While the US debated physically seizing the island, military experts warned it would be incredibly difficult to hold. Being just 21 miles from the Iranian mainland, US forces on the island would be sitting ducks for precise drone, missile, and artillery fire coming from Iran's mountainous coastline.
* **Preserving Post-War Iran:** Completely destroying the infrastructure would permanently cripple the revenue-generating potential of the country, leaving any future successor regime economically unviable.
### The Implications of a Full Scale Attack
If the US had gone ahead and completely wiped out or permanently seized the oil facilities, the consequences would have been severe:
* **Energy Market Tailspin:** Global oil prices would have skyrocketed, directly increasing inflation and energy costs worldwide. China—the primary buyer of Iranian oil—would face severe supply disruptions.
* **Uncontrolled Asymmetric Retaliation:** Denied its economic lifeline, Iran would likely have launched a total asymmetric response, using its vast arsenal of drones, mines, and missiles to completely shut down all commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, targeting neighboring Gulf energy facilities.
* **A Long-Term US Military Mire:** A physical occupation of the island would have forced the US into a high-casualty, resource-heavy defense operation against constant mainland bombardment, pulling the US deeper into a direct war with Iran"

How so? Can't one strike wipe out all top Iranian leadership at the funeral and US will have no one strong enough to speak for all sectors if Iran?

True, but it also happens to be 100% true what he said. US learnt a lesson - if you wipe out the leaders of a country there'd be no one left to reach a firm agreement with. Especially IRGC many of whose members actually WANT to die and go relax with their 72 virgins! grin
Then why he is saying it then, when he knows he won't do it.....do you get? How many time has he been saying Iran will be wiped out today, then he'll shift again and again and again

The vast majority of Iranians despise the Mullahs.

They have done their best to chase them away, but the rulera double down by arresting and executing many. They executed thousands of protesters this year. They are ready to slaughter a million to hang on to power.

They have no shane.
