People are saying Iran is in the midst of enemies like Saudi, Qatar UAE and Co. But the first nation to send envoy to sympathize is Qatar to avoid altercation with Iran. Truly Iran can't match America in a war but they can cause havocs to their interest and allies. Their allies know this and they will want to prevent it. Russia have come out to condemn the attack saying it against the international law, same way China tolled.
May God help us.

This calls for diplomacy. World leaders should intervene and calm nerves quickly.

US would wipe Iran out but it won't be a walk over. We saw what happened in Iraq. There are thousands of young soldiers that would never regain their life but what has been the gain of such huge sacrifice to America since the war was fought? Nothing really. In its aftermath we have seen collateral damages in Libya, in Syria, even the Iraq they went to war over has never regained itself.

No need for it. I hope world leaders are able to suppress the aggression and bring everyone to calm.

If Iran retaliates NATO will get involved. Russia will not allow NATO to amass troops in Turkey or anywhere in close proximity. North Korea will up its demands on US. China will go for Taiwan.

The collateral and secondary conflicts will br too many but globally impacting. In fact it could result in food shortage globally as they setup embargos and blockades on the various seas and corridors of shipment.

So lets becareful and think before we start jumping for joy. We in Africa would be worst hit. We do not manufacture and the countries we depend on for finished products would have converted their industrial resources to war support.

Lets not pray for war. Think critically.

If such a war occurs, starvation would kill half of the useless and unproductive population of Nigeria and many all over Africa. Well deserved in my view. We are over 180m in Nigeria yet we cannot produce food for ourselves? Better we perish!!!!!

I guess U.S is ready like they are ready Vietnam. They can tell better how many U.S soldiers vietlong that went with it. No super power when it's war. Both sides will definitely record casualties, cos Iran will do guerrilla warfare not one on one fight. They should also expect more suicide bombings against U.S targets. No victor no vanquish.

D conversation hasn't even started, u have already messed up and u say u no history. Was Taliban in existence between 1979 and 1989? When was d Taliban established that u are bringing it into this conversation? What has Vietnam got to do with d discussion? Was Americas involvement in d Afghan war in 1979 based on ideology or was it based on "payback"? Who told u that America "trained" Osama bin Laden? What and what training did they give to him?

Taliban is made up of a group of some of the mujahideen fighters who rose up as insurgents against the Afghan government backed by Russia in 1979. Osama Bin Laden's mujahideen group was one of the several groups backed by USA, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to wage war against Soviet forces and the Afghan government in the Afghan civil war that started in 1979 and lasted until 1994. As at 1979, the mujahideens weren't referred to as Taliban until 1994. And yes, America trained and gave support to Osama Bin Laden during that period. To avoid repeating the mistake made by America in the Afghan war, Barack Obama during the "arming of moderate rebels" in Syria couple of years ago, decided to limit the scope of support they gave to the rebels fighting against the Syrian government. Get your facts right. I'm sure you have forgotten that the Soviet Union gave Logistics support to the Northern part of Vietnam while the Americans occupied Vietnam during the Vietnam War making it difficult for the Americans and they lost several soldiers in that war. The US saw the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan as a perfect way to repay them for the loss suffered in Vietnam.

When a war is been fought on your soil it means you are already at the weaker side. One of the down fall of the short lived Biafra republic.

Iran doesn't have what it take to bring the war to US soil. Rather they will be doing defense while US attacking them in their soil. It's only US Allie they can attack in the East. E.g America embassy and military base in the middle East.
the bolded is the comment i have been looking out for.

Iran is at a disdvantage as this war will be fought in their house and America will not loose more than what they put into the war.

Cowards! They used a modern drone to kill the Iranian General, they are flying traditional flag. Do these ones think they are gonna fight with swords?

The Ayatollah has turned into a blogger, snapping pictures and identifying targets. Now, he's now flying flag like OPC.

The truth is that Iran itself is afraid of the US but they can't say it. The leadership of Iran are terrified of how they killed their most valiant warrior so easily like a chicken and they are afraid of who would be next. More like if A, the toughest fighter could be killed like a fly, who am I not to fall into the same fate.

Iran is simply buying time and seriously hoping other countries would wade in and separate the fight. Unfortunately for them, their allies Russia and China haven't said pim. Those two cunning foxes are waiting for US to rain bombs into Iran and then, they would negotiate to defend Iran in exchange for Iranian oil.

In the end, they would share Iranian oil like suya that secondary school boys contributed to buy. USA would take part, China would take, Russia would take, ISIS too would take.

Iran is not Iraq or Yemen or Afghanistan. Go and study their defence forces.

Ona too make noise.. Where was Iran when Sadam Hussein wanted to annex the country if not for US.. thats how you people will push this poor country into a war that it can't sustain in a month.. Almost all the neighboring countries bordering Iran are all US allies and you know what that means right? This will be the shortest war in history.. Terhan will be in chaos in few days and splitter terrorist groups will take over just like in Syria, Libya and Iraq..

I don't see how any sane individual can support the US who are known for war mongering.

First of all the United state are wrong to enter an international air space to fire using a drone on a citizen of another country.

I don't see in the news where a foreign government come into the USA to unleash a weapon. It never happen.

Why does the United state feel they can do that and get away with it?

Did Iran government ask for help before firing that drone?

How ever I you loom at it the United state are wrong.

Up until yesterday this was the first time I'm hear of that man.. And from images and videos I've seen he seem like a man who was loved by Iranian citizens.

If y'all support this.. I hope y'all are gonna support the USA when they come in here and fire a weapon killing Nnamdi kanu or sowore simply because someone labeled them terrorist.
chairman is like you don't know of the synopsis that led to the attack why don't you go and read up about the general that you called a man and also the events that led to the attack.

The US saw the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan as a perfect way to repay them for the loss suffered in Vietnam.

U have in no way answered d questions I asked. All u doing is rabble rousing and mixing things up to justify d errors u made.

First, Taliban didn't exist until 1994 but in ur previous comment, u said d Taliban was d paramilitary body that fought d Soviets. Now u are saying:

"As at 1979, the mujahideens weren't referred to as Taliban until 1994".

This is very wrong because u are assuming that d Mujahedeen transitioned to become d Taliban. That's not true. The Taliban emerged in 1994 as one of the prominent factions in the Afghan civil war.

Now ur historical facts are distorted. Check this out. According to u:

"the Afghan civil war that started in 1979 and lasted until 1994".

D Afghan civil war didn't start in 1979. It was d invasion by USSR and d war that emerged as a result that started in 1979 and ended in 1989. With d USSR leaving in 1989, a civil war broke out between d various armed groups on d ground. D Taliban emerged after another civil war broke in 1992.

Earlier u said that d US trained and created Osama bin Laden. And I asked u how did d US train Osama? What and what type of training did Osama receive from d US? This is what u had to say:

"And yes, America trained and gave support to Osama Bin Laden during that period."

How does that answer d question? U only repeated what u said earlier without any facts or specifics. Just vague conclusions that u can't defend.

I also asked u this:

"What has Vietnam got to do with d discussion? Was Americas involvement in d Afghan war in 1979 based on ideology or was it based on "payback"?"

And u said this:

"I'm sure you have forgotten that the Soviet Union gave Logistics support to the Northern part of Vietnam while the Americans occupied Vietnam during the Vietnam War making it difficult for the Americans and they lost several soldiers in that war. The US saw the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan as a perfect way to repay them for the loss suffered in Vietnam."

Still u couldn't answer d question. D reason d US entered d Afghan war against d USSR was d same reason it was in Vietnam, Korea, Cuba, Congo, Cambodia, Angola and a host of others. It wasn't because payback. It was because of ideology.

So I should b d one telling u to get your facts right

Quit smoking hemp, no country will give Iran full military support against US.


Iran doesn't have the capability to spark up a global war, they are too small, too inconsequential to spark up global military coalition.

The only continent on earth that can spark up global military war or coalition is Europe, EUROPE alone! And Europe is now advanced and informed than they were in the 1930s and 1940s that led to the second world war.

European countries are no longer in disagreement or power tuzzle like they were in the 40s...they now have a common understanding and they are now more concerned about stabilizing their dying economy than going to war.

Japan is US ally.

South Korea is US ally!

Hong Kong is US ally!

Taiwan is US ally!

China and US are strong trade partners; US consume a majority of what China produces, and Americans have big financial stake in Chinese corporations, which China wouldn't want to loose, reason China is trying all things possible to end the trade war with US.

Russia is no longer in loggerhead with US. Russia has almost same military power with US, but US will win Russia in any war due to economy power of US which can sustain war for almost 50 years nonstop, Russian economy cannot sustain war for that long.

In the Middle-East where Iran is located, Iran is highly hated because of their secret sponsorship of Islamic terrorists to destabilize other Middle-East nations and take over Middle-East regional power.

Saudi Arabia and Iran almost went to war last year because of Yemen.

Kuwait don't like Iran.

UAE hate Iran. Iraq don't like Iran.

The only allies Iran will get from Middle-East are:

Yemen (already torn by war)
Syria (already torn by war)
Qatar (have no strength and also hated by UAE, Saudi, Kuwait, etc)
Lebanon (struggling economically right now that their Prime Minister has resigned due to dying economy)

The allies US will get in Middle-East to flog Iran in their own country:

Israel
Saudi Arabia
UAE
Turkey
Kuwait
Iraq will love to stay away because their country is already dead lol


The only way Iran can indirectly revenge US as they always do is to sponsor more Islamic terrorists like Hezbolla, ISIS, Taliban, Al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, ISWAP, etc to start targeting American embassies, American investments in Middle-East, Africa, and maybe Europe and attack them through suicide bombers.

That is the only and highest thing Iran can do, nothing else....Iran is a small country to challenge Houston Texas to talk of USA as a whole.


USA remains the number one nation on earth.....they have the military power, technology, and the booming economy to sustain war for decades, which no other nation has.

Russia has military power and technology, but they don't have the economy to sustain war for too long.

China have the military might and some technology but they don't have the economy and national hunger sustainability to wage and sustain war for a long time, if they do, majority of their citizens will die of hunger unlike US that will be fighting war and be hosting parties all over US because they have too much money grin grin grin


Pity Iran!

I would have sided with Iran, but Iran love terrorism a lot....Iran should quit supporting and sponsoring Muslim terrorists, they are making the whole world an unsafe place to live, and if not for USA, Iran and Muslim terrorists would have destroyed this world and its little peace we all are enjoying.


Leave religion aside, call a spade a spade, Iran is a terrorist sponsoring nation and its bad! They need to be put in check before they destroy global peace with Muslim terrorists!!!
