Vietnamese farmers defeated the USA without any air force and without any navy, the Afghans did the same. You guys see the USA as if it were a godly figure. You are not great students of war. Let me tell you this: a fighter deserves a fighter.

Iran has planned for this war for decades. It comes well prepared.

It knows its no match with the most powerful in the air, land sea.

I would say it has instead focused on a new frontier strategy: drones, rockets and missiles.

Israel started the war ... Trump jumped in with him ... Israel bailed out and left him to battle the warlords and went to wage war against the women and children of Lebanon. Trump is now stuck ... Israel has left him stranded .. the EU is just watching him and the US being humiliated ... and the whole world is realizing the US is not as powerful as it always said it was. Trump is being forced to swallow all his words ... will he?... with a big ego in his throat? They need to put him on suicide watch.
Israel the war monger is doing everything to get the EU to join be telling Zelennsky to attack Iran

The war is really against China.

China buys 80% of its energy from Iran.

China is the manufacturing kitchen of the whole world. So they require a lot of cheap energy.

Iran is under severe sanctions from USA. So they sell Crude Oil in Yuans or Gold, This circumvents the petro dollar doctrine.

Other nations also start getting ideas and start touting BRICS Nation.


USA had to quickly nip it in the Bud. The whole west was moving to Dubai for freedom from taxes and real security.

Iran was selling oil for cheap to China.

USA had to act and act fast. Now they have blocked the strait of Hormuz....Guess where everyone is buying oil from ? USA

Also a few bombs in Dubai and the real estate market is crashing and the capital is flowing back to the west.

Iran war would last a long time. Even 1-2 years.
Although the war is part of the many schemes against China, it is more about Iran itself than any other country.
The hostilities started about 5 decades ago when Communist USSR was more of a threat to America than China.
The1979 Iranian revolution was a "threat" to Israel.
The nationalization of Iranian oil was a "threat" to the US and the west in general.

Once you are against the war they will label you a terrorist supporter. Over 70 percent of Americans are against the war. I ask them if over 70 percent of Americans are also terrorists supporters. Nigerians will be fighting another people fight whereas the people directly involve don't want to fight.
Re: One Mistake Trump Hasn’t Made On Iran- CNN by DickenClarq(f):
Trump biggest mistake was attacking Iran back after agreeing the MoU.

Trump the Village !diot have finally caged himself in a very tight corner

If he keep on attacking Iran, he will get more respond from the IRGC that have nothing else to lose but to keep fighting.
If he Stop and retreat it will be so obvious that he have lost the war. And U.S won't be taken serious again by the Gulf states.

No one can bomb anyone into submission not even ISIS was bombed to submission. If Trump dare send ground troops, their casualties in Vietnam and Afghanistan combined will be a joke in what will happen to them in Iran.

I have few clients in Iran that were Anti-Regime, but currently because of Trump madness, they are now Pro-Regime and they now see the IRGC as their heros

Note; The U.S Are fighting the IRGC of Iran, they are not even targeting the Iranian regular Army. Trump-U.S should just accept defect



May God help us

You guys would just be imagining nonsense and believe it.

Are you brainwashed?

Even now, in the face of intimidation and oppression, the Iranians have shown tremendous restraint and only bombed facilities used by US military in retaliation.

Do you see them bombing civilian facilities indiscriminately as Trump did on day one.

Contract the out to Israel and go on vacation. Americans have the brains to make all manner of weapons, but have no brains to win any manner of war . Israel has the most intelligent, the most prolific, the most dynamic, the most adaptive, the most ruthless, the most resilient, the most rugged and the most effective military in the world. Incidentally most of the American military scientists and engineers are Jews. Above Israe have GOD on their side.

Must you start comparisons?

For your information , Trump is no way better in any way…. I’m sure you aren’t informed of the way he has been insulting journalists and using swear words without regard but nooo hell no

Like a big no for you not to compare and expose your inferiority complex to the world to see

Keep crying 'CNN propaganda' all you want. It doesn't change the fact that Trump is now pushing for negotiations after all the tough talk. So much for 'strength' only.
The negotiation is simply for them to restocked and restrategise. Everyone knows that already

Comments like this come from aggrieved persons. Comments like this come from the side of jealousy, envy and hatred. Possibly people that you know failed with visa applications and are stranded.

Travel to Iran is either visa free or visa on arrival. I can bet that you’ll not dare, if given the opportunity for free.

Meanwhile, you have family and friends in the USA. You frantically pray and hope to get a few dollars to visit aboki with. You do not pray or hope to have the Iranian rial in your pocket. Of course it is over 1.5 millio. To one dollar.

Na pain e dey pain you.
Simply pray that Iran does not fire as little as a bullet from a gun into Israel.

History don show say former US Presidents (like for Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan) wey double down for war because dem wan save face or find way out, always end up drowning inside war wey dem no fit win.
They enter because the country can't defend itself grin
Let him enter the war na fool dey believe CNN
He should make the most daring step
By invading via ground troops let's see if Iran can defend itself grin
The Three Choices Wey Trump Get:
Option 1: Continue the Endless Fight

If peace talk continue to fail, go he just keep on bombing dem small-small, declaring fragile ceasefires, and blocking ships for sea even though e no dey end the war?

Option 2: Double Down and Go "All-Out"

Should he increase US power, pass military targets, start to bomb normal civilian buildings, light/water power plants, and even send US ground soldiers enter Iran? (This one na dangerous line to cross).

Option 3: Cut Loss and Run Away (The Bitter Pill)

Accept defeat, pack bag, and walk away even though he no achieve any of his main goals. This one go scale his ego and pain US self-esteem well-well.

The Main Setup
Every single option get bad result, and dat na why Trump dey "trapped". He no fit win, and he no fit afford to show say he lose.



Talk is cheap
Obama happy birthday sir u get sense pass this fool called trump 80 years man grin
OBAMA 60+

The only thing Iran has as a bargaining chip is strait of Hormuz and who closing of Hormuz affected most me and you in Nigeria and other third world countries, does it affect Americans yes but in a minutest way.
Meanwhile America military has caused a long time damages to both Iran infrastructures and military facilities that will take huge cost and years to replace and build back.Iranian government has only concentrated on bombing their brothers Arab neighbors.

The only and important mistake Iran has not make is sending missiles to Israel for allowing USA to use it land as launching pad, like it's doing to other Arab countries.

Those peasant's comments above don't understand the game that kings play.

Iran May not be the real target in this war.
