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.

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, said that while Soleimani was “an enemy of the United States,” the killing could put more Americans at risk.
“One reason we don’t generally (assassinate) foreign political officials is the belief that such action will get more, not less, Americans killed,” Murphy said on Twitter. “That should be our real, pressing and grave worry tonight.”

They know what Iran is capable of doing.

Don't deceive Urself.. it will be US n Europe vs Arab Nations (Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, State of Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen) n I don't c US n Europe conquering.. except China n Russia falls in line.. most Arab nations get military AIF from Russia.. n Russia is always on opposite sides with US.. Palestine might just stage a reprisal attack on behalf of Iran.. or Iran does it themselves..that's all..


Zero knowledge of geopolitics.

The only middle East country that supports Iran is Bahrain. Iranians are not Arabs and their original religion of Zoroastrianism means they are never taken as serious Muslims. They are Shia. Imagine mentioning Arab nations that are actually ENEMIES of Iran among your fictional coalition

I’m just seeing this NATO pact....thanks for this....but still, are u saying a signed treaty is enuf to prevent me from doing wateva I want..??
Even the uk is almost gone out of the EU arrangement??
starting from the last statement, don't you see how long it has taken the UK to leave the EU? even though it's just economic union, not to talk of military pact that has kept them alive all these while, another expo; the only reason Russia has never annexed the entirety of western Europe is because majority of them are NATO members, meaning an attack on them is an attack on the US and believe Russia would never willingly go to war with the US, all the proxy wars that has resulted in sanctions against that has rendered their currency and economy almost useless, now imagine a military confrontation...

Now, the signed NATO treaty is much more advantageous to other members than the US that's why when Trump came in as President, he severely cut US expenses and donations to NATO and got other countries paying a fair share which they've not been doing in a while, despite the rest members of NATO complaining and angry for Trump's decision, they never left NATO nor threaten to do anything instead they started spending more as demanded by Trump. Why? because their existence in that Europe depends heavily on NATO and by extension the US.

Forget all the noise you see on the news and social media, the US is a very powerful nation. Bery poweful to be frank and Trump knows it that's why he's not scared of taking any seemingly stupid actions.

Even several Americans do not know the power of the military that's why some of them are stupi.dly shitting in their pants thinking Iran would do shit on US soil, Japan tried it and over 70 years down the line it has never remained thesame

Iran can only fight a covert war and kill a few Americans. In an out and out war, it won't take long before Khomeini is sentenced to death by his own people just like Sadam. Iran that couldn't defeat Iraq under Sadam.

Gadaffi fall is ALL France.....

America had no interest in his ouster

It's all Sarkozy
Gadaffi was about to wrestle France out of francophone west Africa
CFA is France lifeblood
And gadaffi was about to give them an alternative
So gadaffi had to go
The leaked emails of Hilary shows all of this
So I'm surprised you are even calling America name in this

Iraq and Afghan was all America,
Not Libya.

Obama is the fall guy for Killary × Sarkozy experiment


Besides
Other Arab leaders resigned and saved their countries
Gadaffi has his own share of the blame too in that respect

They should continue sponsoring jihadists
And the next on the hit list will be ayotollah and the Iranian prime Minister. America has proven they can take down anybody when they are ready.
Ask saddam, ask bin laden, ask Gaddafi.

But taking out the head only creates room for another head.

Gaddafi was taken out, look at the state of Libya and how the conflict is creating illegal weapons markets, from which BH and kidnappers are benefiting.

They took out Saddam and created a bigger problem.

They took out Osama and created Baghdadi.

It's an endless circle of violence.

Olominira:
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
You know the worst thing? All of this completely unnecessary tension stems entirely from the insecurities of one dim-witted, thrice-divorced fraudster with a compulsion to undo anything with Obama's name attached to it: according to Trump, "If it was done by Obama, it must be bad", so he went and cancelled a deal all international observers agreed Iran was actually observing. It's possible that hundreds of thousands of lives are now about to be cut short in a needless war simply because a large number of white Americans simply couldn't stand the idea of 8 years of a black man in the White House being followed by at least 4 years of a woman in charge (and I haven't even touched on the long-term consequences of Trump's climate-change denial).

Blablablabla

Who be Iran that all the US allies you mentioned would turn against the US?

Imagine Japan fight the US because of Iran, not even China would do that.

Iran can't start World War,
Iran can't fight the US because they don't have long range missiles that can reach the USA for now, they want to build it and that's why they are having problem with the US.
Iran can only attack Israel and Saudi Arabia with their short range missile and get missiles from the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia in return.
All the fighting will be done in the Middle East, after the war, Al-Qaeda will do the remaining fighting with Iran.

Even America admire their resilience secretly.

Unfortunately, Iran is fighting with the wrong enemy.

The iran of the 70s were very progressive people.
Their women dressed like Americans wearing bikinis and pants on the beach.

America actually protected Iran from Iraq at a point in their history.
If Iran had not been taken over by Islamists and Mad Men, they could have been very very good friends with the west and would have gone very far.

It is not too late. Throw off the ayatollahs, get a progressive leader, swallow your pride and apologise to America and Israel
Destroy whatever nuclear ambitions you have and be free from sanctions.

That is the only sane thing to to do to guarantee their future.


Bro, one can make a legit argument that the US being friends with Iran in the 70's were part of a comprehensive cum strategic plan to contain and isolate IRAQ. A classic example of the saying...
"the enemy of my enemy is my friend"

MY brother leave this matter. Do you think the president and all the intelligence agencies did not weigh the options before taking such action. The USA and the state of Israel have maybe the best intelligence and forecasting machineries anywhere in the world. This was how your likes sank Israel and gave them no chance against Arab invasion should Israel continue to march against Palestine. To add salt to injury America has recognise jerusalem as tge israeli capital yet nothing happened. Na so dem go silence Iran too nothing go happen.

Iran has been destroying USA Bases in the middle East with the help of this sulieman. American is avoiding direct war with Iran because of Russia and China. The only two countries America fear like it or not. America, Russia and China are the top three countries they can defeat each other. If you follow international politics any country China and Russia backs USA power is restricted there. They can only sanction and nothing more.
