A war against Iran by the US is sponsored by Saudi Arabia and Isreal. But expect deadbrain Nigerians especially the Christians to be happy about this because it's a Muslim country.

Dey do my brother
They started the Vietnam war without counting cost
They went to Iraq without counting cost
shugaboy6102:
this people budget billions of dollars for their defence yearly. America doesn't do anything without counting the cost and if this war begins no country will want to support Iran because Americans are unpredictable. Americans can never allow what happened in 9'11 to ever repeat

Will Iran give President Trump what he wants? I doubt.

Trump wants war with Iran. He knows a wartime President has a higher hopes of being reelected as fear and uncertainty bonds people with their responsive leaders. Just as George Bush jnr got reelected because of the 911 attack and consequent war and Obama was handed a reelection with his reaction to the hurricane that happened close to his reelection.

Iran is too much of a chicken hearted coward that thrive in noise making to enter into a war with America. The Ayatollah is biish who loves to cling to power and knows a war ith America will threaten his position. Nothing will happen from this. Infact, Iran might secretly seek to pacify America cos Ayatollah is peeing in his pants by now.
If you knew anything about international geopolitics, you wouldn't be saying this. War isn't just about arms and munitions. A war with Iran will backfire spectacularly on the US. All the middle East countries, with the exception of Saudi Arabia and Israel will support Iran. Terrorist attacks will also increase in the US due to sentimentality of the Hezbollah and ISIS sleeper cells in the US who will feel their motherland is being attacked. Also, Iran recently took delivery of Russian S400 missile defence systems and just 5 of these will be enough to protect the entire country against foreign aggression in the air. The systems are advanced enjoy to take out any and all US air platforms, including the so-called stealth aircrafts.
In all, the US will be then biggest losers

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
why is more crises for Trump? Hope u understand what is really happening. If u know someone will be ur future problem and have opportunity to deal with d person. Will u be looking at him working freely around u.

Trump and putin r paddi paddi...lolz
Not at all. They're in good terms but not paddy. The only reason why Putin (allegedly) influenced the US election was to make sure Hillary Clinton doesn't win. Clinton is a well-known war monger and if she had won, she's very likely to throw the world into a world war. Putin knows this. Also, Russia and US has had a long history of animosity, dating back to the 2nd world war. What US did to Russia (claiming the victory after russian troops had done all the dirty work against the Nazis) and during the cold war, and a lot of other US backstabs have made Russia cautious.

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.
You're losing ur conviction.
You claimed Finland defeated the Soviet Union. Not Russia. Are aware the the former USSR consisted of Russia and 14 other Republics. You simply saying Finland defeated them all.
That was what I responded to.
You didn't say they reached a peace agreement which FORCED Finland to secede parts of his territory.

If I may ask, where did you get ur own info from?
I guess google and all their sources are not credible again

niaralandtopuser:
the more you hit America using proxies, the more they bomb you openly. Iran is no match for America. just wait till after election. Trump is only being careful because he wants reelection

The US has been bombing Al Qaeda and ISIS for years, almost two decades in the case of the former. They're still around and remain a threat still.

The US bombed the Taliban like mad, but in the end it's the same US looking for a truce. They'd to.leave Afghanistan and the Taliban is back strong.

In conventional warfare Iran won't last a week against the US, as happened with Saddam. But in unconventional warfare the US is like the proverbial elephant frightened by a nimble mouse.

The reason the late Iranian strongman was in Iraq was to setup armies of insurgents and terrorists to fight a sort of asymmetric proxy war for iran.

The world should be rid of terrorism, but the US ought to be careful about regional balance in the middle east. Trump is headed for world war 3, with Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and battalions of ghostly terrorists in the mix, and a largely alienated and unfriendly European and Middle Eastern allies not liking Trump.

Unverified assertion?

You do realize someone is the President of the United States, and has access to an intelligence apparatus unlike the world has ever seen?

Yeah right. The same "intelligence apparatus" that President Bush Jr used to deceive the Americans that Saddam Hussein and Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, which led to the destruction of Iraq. Till date, no weapons of mass destruction has been discovered in Iraq. Or do you know of one that was discovered?
This attack is all about the 2020 US Presidential election and Trump's impeachment trial.

These usual war-mongering tactics. Their defense budget needs to be spent and ammo needs to be tested.

War is an annual budget for the US.

Iran will respond in kind, directly or by proxy.

The battleground remains Iraq and Syria plus Afghanistan.

If only our leaders can take advantage of the boom in oil price that would accompany this latest brouhaha, and allow her citizens to enjoy the benefits therefrom.

Iran can do nothing to the US, they are just lucky they met a president like Trump. Bush or Bush jnr will have made that country a parking lot by now. Saddam was a more sinister threat than Iran, US didn't even blink before clearing him out.

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.
In a war with Iran, the US has the military strength but the US will eventually be the losers. War isn't only about throwing bombs and shooting, a lot more are involved. The US took out Saddam but right now are they not the ones on the losing side? They were able to kill Saddam because they had the backing of the entire world when they claimed Saddam was stockpiling nuclear weapons, which was found to be totally untrue. Right now, which country is spending billions of tax-payers dollars annually to maintain their soldiers in these middle-eastern countries? The death of Saddam was one of the things that have terrorism its wings, and which country is the primary target of all terrorists? War isn't only about bombs and guns

Dude chill, nobody will block Strait of Hormuz. It won't even be in Russia or China's interest. Iran & North Korea needs to be thought a BIG lesson. Countries with depressed economy constituting nuisance cuz they managed to divert money meant for the welfare of their citizens to build some yeye missiles.

I know what the democrats have cost almost half of Nigerians through the imposition of a tyrant. The republicans under Trump are the only ones who can keep a murderous section of Nigeria in check.

See this civilian predicting what will happen to US. The same thing people like u have been saying several years back. What u see and hear is is very little from wht is really happening.
