More crises for Trump and an average American. This is unnecessary. Trump is committing a huge mistake by canceling the initial agreement reached with Iran.

Firstly, US can't even manage the ongoing crises she created in the past with Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya and others. Who's advising Trump? Crises in Libya is still a crisis in some parts of Europe. Germany already has millions of refugees from Syria. These are countries of smaller populations yet you seriously want to destabilize another country of 70-80 million people all at once.

The entire America with Europe would have a serious impact if Iran is set into crises. In fact, the entire world feel this impact because by the time 40 percent of oil output is cut off due to total blockage of Strait of Hormuz. The global market would respond immediately. This is not a wise choice. Even in Nigeria, a litre of petrol may go as far as N500
Was is it also a great mistake to cancel the Abbori Accord?

But I'm somehow happy that US took this action. For months now iran has been running gaga and abusing US. the ball now is in their court to prove their military might.

The days of open warfare are largely over. Iran will sponsor more jihadists to hit at American interests. That kind of asymmetric warfare the US can never win.

Donald Rumsfeld said as much during the Afghanistan war after 9-11 when he tried to overhaul the US military to be less cumbersome and more light and agile.

Finland didn't defeat the whole of Soviet Union.
First the war was in Finland soil
Second, Finland was forced to secede 11% of its own territory.
So who won?
inasmuch as you may be sounding right to your self you are also very wrong, the Russian territory was also referred to as soviet territory during the era of the USSR, which gives more credibility to the terms I used.

Judging from your post and screenshots evidence suggests you only get you facts from Google and wikipedia I don't blame you for that anyway, the Russians suffered more casualties than the fins during the war, it was beginning to look like a war of attrition, the defeat was collosal and the soviet had to save themselves from the embarasment.

The main aim of the war was to forcefully annexed finland to the soviet union, but even after the war and with the temporary finish territory ceeded to the USSR, Finland still maintained its independence and sovereignty, the Soviet Union lost the war on the battle field.

The only way to keep these terrorist from planning further attacks against peaceful countries of the world is by keeping them engaged in a war in their own home soil. That way,they will not have time to plan another global terrorist attack on other peaceful countries of the world.

It's Trump that caused that when he canceled the agreement. The worst part is that Trump did it unilaterally. The entire EU opposed it. An average Iranian would hate anything American today because at the moment, their currency is nothing due to several sanctions. Their entire economy is down. Trump even ordered UK to seize Iranian oil ship despite the fact that Iran is not part of EU, and wasn't heading to Europe. Trump needs to understand that we are all humans and his hatred towards anything non-white should be minimized.
the ships were actually seized at around the straits of Gibraltar (parts of which is a UK oversea territory).. so it was within their capacity to seize it

This a decent move from one of the belligerents.

The spotlight is now fully beamed on the Iranians. They must not disappoint.

I am watching from a safe distance. And I don't want any proxy wars... those things are getting f**king boring! sad

The next few days will be interesting indeed.
If Iran fails to "represent" properly and proportionately to spice things up, then I will start regarding them as nothing more than paper tigers and noise-makers. Yeah, I said that!


Ofcourse they are paper tigers , by now Americans have have prepared all their responses to any possible iranian response

exactly why trump pulled out of the deal. The deal was actually an easier way for Iran to acquire the finance to develop their nuclear weapons.
iran is unapologetic. There main goal is to destroy israel. They say dis openly. Nd Obama went to pay them $200bn to keep nuclear activities under control. It's d same money they use to fund terrorist attacks.

US and its citizens in the region should be on guards because the killing of General Qassem Soleimani (the head of Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC's) Quds Force, and architect of its regional security apparatus) and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis (the Iraqi militia commander) is equivalent to the Iranians "assassinating" the US defence secretary, and/or the commander of the US Central Command, and Iran will definitely retaliate.

Iranian Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed a "vigorous revenge is waiting for the criminals." Also, the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani echoed the Supreme Leader's threat of "revenge".

yellowman2225:

You were only correct when you mentioned Hiroshima, Yokosutu and Nagazaki (2nd World war Atomic attack in Japan) For others like Germany etc, you are totally wrong. No European country will join force with Iran or any other mid/ far east Country.
China and Russia are only looking for Pawn to depose USA as World power.

India as one of the World power will dance to their Colonizers tune (Britain) who will also support their baby USA. Russia, China, and Iran only have the war infested Arabs on their side, USa will have the rest of the World excluding NKorea who doesn't even have the financial resources to go to war at the moment. USa budget on military only is more than 5 times of all these yeye Rusiay, China, and Iran combined.

EU is USA - controls europe
NATO is USA_ defends europe
World bank is Usa_ monitors world currencies / policies

Tell me what Russia control, China nko, how about Iran.

fact

Iran can only block passage of crude oil @ strait of Hormuz. Crude oil prices increases and UsA makes money as crude exporter and only shale oil maker.

China being export dependent loses
its Usa / possibly European export market due to war

Russia is the only one possibly going to make profits in terms of war. Russia sells Arm and artillery, Russian gas and oil will sell,

Final word. Usa will still be the overall winner if Russia , China and Iran Collaborate.

You said some things right except that India will join hands with the US and dance with their colonizers........ The country that colonized you doesn't count if it did..... .......
The US and Iran wont be having issues now............ So brother with the myraids of economic and military pacts that have been signed over time..........
India is likely going to be on the east......... Same with nuclear powered Pakistan..........
And Brodo.........russia is a very reckoned force against the US......... Putting China together with them is very deadly..........
They are the largest and most powerful military pacts wise when put together compered to any other duo on earth tell me if an wrong there............

And combined with nuclear powerd Korea and even plausibly India guy you get to reconsider man.........

Iran will surely revenge the action of US on assassination of her commander but it wont be by conventional war as I think it'll be guerrilla war fare tactics because they know they can not match US militarily in an open war... this will be brutal hmmm.

Even the likes of Russia and China don't threaten the US the way Iran does. Even Israel that possess just a fraction of US military strength will have dealt decisively with Iran if it had tried half of what they tried with trump.
