Lol you guys are crazy. If USA goes to war with iran they can win only if they do full scale invasion losing thousands of troops. The world oil price will spike through the roof because they will close the Strait of Hormuz. This war will pludge world economy into a recession.

Instead of African nations to revert back to precolonial border lines; instead of Africa to divert all attention to power generation, technology innovation and acquisition especially in the area of computation and defense; instead of Africa to position themselves strategically to potentially take over from the west when they are devastated by war; African criminals hold sway over the cowardly and easily manipulated masses in a mischevious game of politics; cultists display their hostility In so called houses of Assembly; African youths have become over sexualized, no higher ideal trumps their thirst for material affirmation...the future is a return to voluntary enslavement..I just dey think am, I'm not happy at all cry
Forget Africa, my broda.

Trump is the Lord's anointed power on Earth.

He is protecting Israel and bringing forward End Times.

Prepare yourself. We do not need ' computation and defense'.

Only the blood of Jesus can wash away the curses of our ancestors and bring true deliverance.

Trust and obey Trump and Jesus and forget Africa.

Heaven is our potion.

Such a war in the long term will be unwinnable.

The Americans defeated Taliban in Afghanistan and deposed the Saddam regime in Iraq within 2 months each.

However they lost the peace.

Pakistan spoilt the victory by allowing Pakistani based Taliban unlimited access into Afghanistan from where the planned and carried out attack.

In Iraq, the sacking of all Iraqi soldiers by the American occupiers was perhaps the most counterproductive decision they ever made in that country.

The sacked soldiers, majority who were Sunni became the backbone of a murderous insurgency which weighed the Americans down. These ex soldiers were also the foundation of what would later be ISIS

Also, the Iranians, by aiding Shiite militia groups, did their best in sending clear message to the Americans to stay out of their backyard

Iran would be far worse. They are about 3 times the population of Iraq. They are split into many ethnic groups. They are presently engaged in a civil war with a separatist Arabian group.

America may succeed in outing the Ayatollahs from power but like Afghanistan, especially Iraq, they'll lose the peace.

You are probable ignorant about international politics, or should I say you know nothing about the Persians. No doubts Iran can't even dare confront the US unprovoked, that will be their end, but US will find it extremely difficult to defeat Iran in their soil, due to terrain, how determined the Persians are, allies in the region, etc.

Wars are not only won due to Sophisticated weapons, if not Isreal wouldn't have been defeated by rag tag Hezbollah militias, US wouldn't have been defeated by ill equipped Vietnam military, Saudi Arabia would have for a long time won the crisis in Yemen, etc.

Iran is threading with care, and they know they don't match the US, but if US dare attack her, they will fight US with all they have, The Persians fought Iraq will little international support even when Saddam Hussein was being supported by the entire western world, Iran back then had few weapons and depended largely on Foreign countries for military hardwares, yet they were able to push Iraq out of Iran and fought like never before, in fact they changed the objective of the war and was about encroaching Iraq. Iran fought to keep its sovereignty with tooth and nail even when Iraq was using chemical weapons on them.

Now fast forward to 2019, Iran has so many affiliated militias in Lebanon (Hezbollah, strongest in the world, that even the almighty Isreal would think twice before stealing Lebanese land), Houthi Shia groups (Yemen militias kicking Saudi ass in Yemen), Syria military (If not for Iran, The rebels would have defeated Bashar al-Assad), Iraq (Iraq is now an ally of Iran). That's not all, Iran has a homegrown military industry, they produce their own rockets, guns, submarines, aircraft (thou inferior), sophisticated missiles, etc, now tell me how you intend defeating a country such as this with ease? or you think Iran is Libya?

US knows this and they know invading Iran unprovoked will end their influence in the region, this war won't only end in Iran, it will affect all Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia and Isreal, Just an order from Iran and see how Hezbollah unleash their madness.

US is powerful, but wars are not always won by that. a war with Iran isnt what we should be praying for, as millions will perish. God heal the Middle East.
China, Russia are strong ally of Iran, N.Korea will act the spoiler, Iran control deadly militia in the Middle-East. It is not going to be away win for Uncle Sam. The economic effect is huge. It is obvious America can't control the split over effect aftermath of the war. Middle East might not remain the same again. Third World War might be trigger. In a nutshell U.S won't go to war, just looking for cheap avenue to bully Iran to submission.

...You have to look at things critically more to understand International politics ....US can never invade Iran for whatever reason. US is a world power but the presence of China and Russia always check there excesses...As far Russia is solidly behind Iran, then i am telling you US won't do anything....Russia and US always try not to confront each other directly ...Russia and China sees Iran strategically because of where Iran is located....The only thing Russia has to is to deploy there military presence around the Dead sea or strait of Homuz. US is significantly ahead in military strength than any other country but when China and Russia who are super powers are solidly behind you then US won't do much. Why can't US go close to North Korea is just because of China....and please US economically is not ready for any war...Iraq and Afghanistan taught them a great lesson, same reason George Bush became very unpopular in the later stages..America spent so much on wars, my bro it takes billions to fight a war and the American people don't need that now. Infact American policy is withdrawing most of there presence in the middleeast not starting new ones. The best US can do is to instigate uprising in Iran via CIA or use proxies to challenge Iranian government, that's far cheaper and safer...If Russia and China sees Iran as a vital interest to them US won't do much. The only thing meant to be done is to move a China Air carrier or Russia Submarine close to the Iranian waters then everybody will just calm down. Like I told you, these nations will do everything not to directly confront themselves but talk rheteorics...considering how unpopular Iraq war was why will US invade Iran. That is very foolish. War is not a child's play bro....guy I am reading your comments and you have good knowledge of International politics but you get it wrong in many places. The only reason US couldnt and can't depose Assad of Syria is because of Russia. Immediately After the Arab spring US had there way in Libya and some other countries but not Syria. Russia directly involved themselves in Syria because of there personal interest. This made US position so difficult against going strong on Syria. You said Russia has been quiet in Syria ever since until US left, how dare you say so. Russia is the reason Assad still controls more than half of the country if not US would have use the FSA and Kurds to take over the Gov.....Russia used chemical weapons but who are investigating them? The UN and the UN is basically weak and can't do anything to any world power. Infact the UN is basically the 5 veto powers. See the game changers in Iran issue...Russia, China and Turkey who is a NATO member making it very complex. US is very ahead militarily but you make them sound so much powerful seems you are obsess about them or something
beautiful, this is the first time am seeing you post, am really impressed with your analysis.

yawn. I dont watch propaganda. Go and do a thorough research yourself. Israel were forced to withdraw from Lebanon in shame in 2000 while in 2006 they didnt achieve any of their aim. Hezbollah defeated Israeli soldiers in every face to face battle. Israel was just bombing infrastructure while Hezbollah destroyed tanks and even sink a ship

Iran is a nuclear power. Like you observed this is a war between Israel and Iran. Us role is to extract submission from Iran which is impossible if you know this Persians well. Iran will never lose this war before blowing Israel to pieces.
talking without thinking, Iran is nothing to Israel, are you aware of why Palestinians are complaining today over Gaza? Israel single handedly scattered the Arab plans to invade it territory years back.... go asked why Israel blew up over one hundred fighter planes the Arab nations, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq , Syria parked in Egypt, their strike base. With Israelis technology, Iran is nothing.....

Does Iran have an advanced air defence system?
Despite having a missile programme, Iran lacks
missile defence technology, but the Islamic
Republic did manage to buy S-300s from Russia
which were delivered to Tehran in 2017.
"They put the order in for S-300s in 2007 and it
was delivered in 2017, but they are working on a
domestically produced air defence system. But
as of now, they do not possess a significant
system for air defence," Uygur said.
Uygur says Iran's lack of air defence capabilities
is evident in Syria, where it backs the regime.
"We can actually see this in Syria, Israel is easily
able to conduct operations against Iranian
positions," Uygur added.

The Deir ez-Zor air raid was a series of 37 U.S.-
led Coalition airstrikes near the Deir ez-Zor
Airport in eastern Syria on 17 September 2016
that killed between 90 and 106 Syrian Army
soldiers and wounded 110 more. The United
States said that the intended target was Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant militants and that
the attack on Syrian soldiers was due to a
misidentification of ground forces [17] while the
Syrian and Russian governments claimed that it
was an intentional attack against Syrian troops.
The attack prompted Russia to call an

months of intense diplomatic efforts by the U.S.
and Russian governments.

No matter how hard Iran can fight, they can't win a war against the US. This is just a matter of common sense.
How do you win a war against an enemy who can blow you up from a 1000 - mile distance ?
The world is tired of seeing innocent people dying or suffering.
Enough is enough.
Wars are not won from a 1000 mile distance, except the US intend throwing a nuclear bomb on Tehran. Wars are won with boots on the ground.
A war with Iran without support of European and Arab allies will be very difficult.
Iranian strategy in a war with the US will be a simple one. Just hold out for a few years, five at most, and the US public will call for troop withdrawal. The American public does not have the patience for prolonged wars.
Re: Donald Trump: If Iran Wants A Fight That Will Be The Official End Of Iran by UncletC: 8:41pm On May 21, 2019
whether Iran is backed by Russia or China doesn't stop US from striking if they want to....already the Director of Iran strategic studies in Turkey says he is not sure of much of the Iranian Rouhani's claim of nuclear capabilities...hear him.....

Iranian and Israeli officials have been exchanging
barbs and boasting about deploying military
technology if the two sides clashed.
Speaking to TRT World , Hakki Uygur, Director of
the Center for Iranian Studies in Ankara, said
that although Rouhani makes certain claims
about Iran's capabilities it is hard to determine
whether it is all true or mere rhetoric.
Since the 1990s, Iran has been developing its
missile technology sector, making major
investments and frequently announcing new
missile tests, said Uygur.
The country has significantly increased its long-
range missile arsenal under its space-launch
programme. Its homemade missiles have
improved both quantitatively and qualitatively
along with elements like accuracy and lethality.
"Recently they had two space rocket launches
and both these attempts were unsuccessful but
for them to reach this point means that they
have made serious improvements in this field,"
Uygur said.
"Iran has the most advanced missile system
infrastructure in the region that is without a
doubt, but are they as advanced as Rouhani
claims? We can't confirm that," said Uygur.
Ibrahim al Marashi, Associate Professor at the
Department of History, California State University,
San Marcos, told TRT World that Iran does have
missiles, but raised questions over their
maximum range."The missiles are tested within
Iranian territory, and so whether they could hit
targets in Israel is a matter of conjecture,”
Marashi said.
According to the Center for Strategic
International Studies (CSIS) think tank, Iran has
become the main base for supplying missiles and
rockets to its proxies such as Hezbollah, the
Assad regime in Syria and the Houthi groups in
Yemen in recent years.

that killed between 90 and 106 Syrian Army
soldiers and wounded 110 more. The United
States said that the intended target was Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant militants and that
the attack on Syrian soldiers was due to a
misidentification of ground forces [17] while the
Syrian and Russian governments claimed that it
was an intentional attack against Syrian troops.
The attack prompted Russia to call an
emergency United Nations Security Council
meeting. [18] Later, the Syrian government called
off a ceasefire that had been the result of
months of intense diplomatic efforts by the U.S.
and Russian governments.

Sorry I could not read the whole article, but I can confidently tell you that the US always inform Russia before an attack in Syria against Syrian forces or ISIS positions. This is to prevents Russian casualties and thus direct confrontation between the US and Russian forces. It is an arrangement that had been in place since the beginning of the Syrian conflict.

USA don't need fight Iran face to face
They should just arm the sizable Kurdish population which are demanding for autonomy

Its called proxy war

You forget to add that they are strong allies with Russia and China. The North Koreans will definitely join the fight cos they ll see it as an opportunity to take it on against the U.S
plus Iran is an extremely rich country. they have enough resources to back them up for a fight. And also they can simply obliterate isreal in retaliation to any us attack.
But one on one, Iran can't withstand the U.S
You are right sire, the allies are Iran’s hope but if the war goes nuclear.... Iran will actually be destroyed cos it takes one Tsar bomb(strongest nuclear weapon) to destroy New York alone... though Iran allies can’t start with that ,but it will be hard for America to win a land war with them...most of the attacks will be on air which united state is good at and for the Hezibollas, they are not strongest as the man you tagged claimed it’s the Pakistan army... there is no small country again every country is powerful on its own ... no country can be underrrated ....not in Middle East at least

Wars are not won from a 1000 mile distance, except the US intend throwing a nuclear bomb on Tehran. Wars are won with boots on the ground.
A war with Iran without support of European and Arab allies will be very difficult.
Iranian strategy in a war with the US will be a simple one. Just hold out for a few years, five at most, and the US public will call for troop withdrawal. The American public does not have the patience for prolonged wars.
There are ballistic missiles(non nuclear) they travel miles and Europeans (western)are restricted to defense only after ww2

even before the US came into existence the Israelites have been winning battles so America or not Israel can't lose
please I respect your opinion... but I will encourage you to understand that Israel are people chosen by God's design or purpose as a people without independence or proclamation which is the one you and I know according to the bible...today the Israel as a country was proclaimed by man and not God in 1948 aftermath of ww2 with the help of USA and UN. one thing you should know again USA is the first country to recognize Jerusalem as their new capital by moving their embassy there. if you want to survive war in this 4D generation just clinch to the best ally acting as god and see if you will not prosper.

I hate having to lecture people who are stubbornly ignorant on how international diplomacy work. No matter the fiery rhetorics between Russia and the US in the Syrian conflict, they have a line of communication to prevent the two of them from accidentally entering into a conflict.
Syria air strikes: US ‘warned Russia ahead of airbase missile bombardment'

Members of the Russian armed forces at a Syrian government airbase bombed by the US were given advance warning of the impending military action, the Pentagon has confirmed.

Russian forces were notified in advance of the strike using the established deconfliction line. US military planners took precautions to minimise risk to Russian or Syrian personnel located at the airfield,” spokesperson Captain Jeff Davis said on Friday.

Last year, US was directly supplying weapons to Crimea including training their soldiers to fight against Russia, but Putin never said a word, he thought he would be able to conquer Crimea, but he was so wrong and failed. Crimea is still standing today, you know why? Because they had the US backing them.
Mr man.which Crimea are u taking about?,is it the same Crimea that did a referendum on going back to Russia and has since rejoined her despite all the hues and cries by the US and which she couldn't do anything about?, u dey make me laugh oh ,u don't really know what u re saying.

Some folks here think that since a biafran, a Christian state, can be defeated by hausa Muslims with Yoruba Christians and muslims, therefore Iran can defeat US....... Hehehehe.... I laugh in Cantonese.
