You have spoken well. May I add that I often laugh at Nigerians who are just interested in picking sides rather than understanding the full extent of this conflict. In our typical fashion, we just hop on the side likely to win or the so-called good guy or the christian nation upholding christian values, suppressing the muslims. But most people here do not even understand what is going on or maybe they simply do not care.

In the 50s, Iran was a democracy, a fully functioning democracy until the US and UK came and overthrew the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh because he wanted to nationalise the oil industry of his country. Installed a puppet Shah Pahlavi that the people later overthrew and the result was an Islamic republic till this day. The US and other western powers will never learn from their mistakes. When they interfere in another nation's affairs, something worse than before always happens. Always. And they wonder why the Iranians hate them. And then they turn around and say they are fighting for their interests (which is ALWAYS to the detriment of the other nation) OR they are fighting to liberate or to democratise (when we know it's simply about spreading their hegemony and stranglehold on the world).

No nation is perfect, this much I admit but these moves made by the US and other western powers over the last 70 years have steadily made the world as a whole an unstable place.

tundess:
The US will be forced out of the ME. Soulemani death was the tribute. First Iraq by being asked by the Iraqi govt to leave, then Syria.
Soulemani had been rallying Iraqi parliamentarians to put together legislation calling for US removal from Iraq. In other words, he was an "imminent threat" to US continuation in Iraq.
If you're interested, read below. If not, wave Old Glory.
Clausewitz wrote that war also exists on a moral plane. If the US strikes as Trump has boasted, it is the sure sign of its decline, much like Suez was for Britain and France. There are many conservatives in the US who are appalled by Trump being co-opted to do Israeli and Saudi foreign policy. And it's not a stretch to imagine a false flag attack on a Saudi installation being blamed on Iran. Trump would therefore have to react. Interesting times.....

Why not hoist the flag at their defense headquarters or presidents lodge? Why the most important mosque?

Remember,

If you are displeased with any part of your body, you are only condemning your very self.

Somebody somewhere think he is doing something right by supporting US or IRAQ as a result of personal judgment.

If Iraq is guilty of anything, US is more guilty, and vice versa. If both are guilty, so is everyone that stands with them in deeds or thoughts.
If America wipes out entire Iran today, more Iran will emerge. Yes, from within America; if they happen to remain the only nation on Earth.

Diving into details of history can only bring more bitterness into our present. If you say "we are nothing without history", you're invariably saying we can't be better than our history. Don't forget, everyone is right.

Peace is far from this generation of man if mutual respect for individual stand; (race, religion, culture, strength, weakness...) is not made the priority.

When you respect, you can love.
When you love, you can accept.
When you accept all, you'll condemn none.

How I wish... that everyone will calm down and see that our differences are self created; not natural. How can species that share the same (Earth, Sun, Moon, Air,...) and ultimately same FATE at the end be this hostile.

No wonder, everything is contaminated.

Send your love to the Iranians and the Americans without judgement; their war is our war, likewise, their peace is our peace.

AlQaeda hates Iran, Bokoharam and Isis hates Iran, all Sunni based terrorist groups hates Iran. Iran is Shi'a based and practise a different form of Islam from there arab neighbours. That's why the arab world and Saudi wants that Iran is stopped from its regional goal of becoming a super power. The issue is not black and white as you see...If you talk of terrorism actually it is mostly sponsored by Sunni based establishment which Saudi is part of... But Saudi is a strong ally to the US. The terrorism thing is not as you think because even Iran fought Isis in Syria and were one of the countries that destroyed ISIS...the middleeast is very complex

Dear Donald Trump.
Are you aware that a Nigerian called Femi Adesina said America is not the police of the world? He is somewhere in the villa.
Thanks

You failed to add that while eating up Femi Adeshina, Garbage Shehu should be the appetizer, Lie Muhammed the dessert and Gloria Onoche as the napkin for cleaning. It was a joint statement by all of them. They just push dumb Adeshina forward to speak. Leave bubu and the jackals or is it cabal for dinner.

The West is trying to lure Iran to a full blown war but Iran is trying to take the bait.

There are 45 US military bases clustered around Iran. Why do u think there are world powers? Because they can launch a full blown attack at any part of the world in under an hour.

This is not war, this is an invasion. It took d press of a button to kill ur top Army Commander...God forbid I fight a war with ghosts.

Iran is on d brink of collapse. Their grave is already dug, but it seems they want to pour d sand by themselves.

$1 = 42,000 Iranian rial. I have an Iranian friend and he wants the government to use their money to feed d country rather than a senseless war.

I don't know if the guys here supporting war knows how the war will end. "U can only know the beginning of any war but don't Know how it will end" It may lead to another world war. So the implication is, everyone will be involved including Nigeria e-warriors or keyboard warriors.

This is highly unfair n unjustified drumming of War all because Trump want to win second time n want to stabilize their unholistic economy.

The truth of the matter is that America cannot afford
another full blown war worst off against a dogged Iran.
However you might want to look at it, America will find it
very tough to win the war because her bases around the
middle east will be subject to a barrage of long range
ballistic missiles. Iran will suffer more but she stands to
lose nothing. China and Russia will back the Iranians with
weapons just so the war drags on to a point where it
takes a toll on the US economy thereby possibly giving
birth to a new world power, China...It's not just war,
there's an economic undertone to it and the US know
better than anyone that they can't afford to prosecute
another war, not at this point where their economy is
recovering...
Hahahahaha no kill me with laff o

Iran should better thread with caution. Trump is not Obama o. Someone who promised to build a wall around Mexican border and also cut China to size. as stupid as those campaign promises sounded back then, Trump has already achieved them. He is no politician, he comes from a successful business background. Talk and do. Iran has emotionally talked itself into trouble. Saudi Arabia won't mind attacking US facility codedely and tag it on Iran as any attack on US in the middle East would be deemed an Iranian attack. The mumu egoistic ayetollah won't even want to deny it. Isreal is standing by the corner waiting for the slightest reason to go all out against iran. It's a terrible situation for Iran, they were over pampered by the Obama administration. When Sadam Hussain was alive who know Iran. Democrats made Iran feel like a world power by allowing them access to their frozen funds in exchange for halting nuclear advancement. Iran has been using those funds to fund terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and hamas and fight proxy wars against the US and Isreal. Thank God Trump has shredded d deal and impose heavy sanctions. Let's see where Iran will get d funds to prosecute a full scale war.

I see u are conversant with USA propaganda on Iran. Continue believing them. Just as they said Sadam had Bio weapons.
Republicans just love war. And i believe trump is doing this cos it's election year. But acting tough and trying to get America to spend more money on meaningless/avoidable war isn't wat WE want. Soldiers die, come back with PTSD and many other things because of A 're election' bid.

Hopefully this threat of war between the USA and Iran will fizzle out. There is no point taking sides as all parties in it will be affected and it will also affect proxies in the middle east, Asia, Europe and America.

Truthfully the American foreign policy with seems to be too meddlesome. If Saddam Hussein and Muammar Ghaddafi were left alone the world would not be seeing the kind of crisis facing the middle east and parts of Africa today.
The spill over effect of the American destruction of the Ghaddafi regime is what we even feel now in Nigeria with ISWAP.

We also hope that this attack will not fast track the impeachment of Donald Trump with the House of reps claiming that he did not see authorization to launch that attack.
the Americans are foolish as the Romans,if an aspiring politician goes to war,he will become darling of the Romans.not minding that Romans died in the war.
Same with Americans, George bush went to war in Iraq and got reelected.
Obama ransacked Libya and claimed to have killed Osama and like magic all his sins we're forgiven and he won reelection.
Trump is now following suit.
This is what the Romans called the greatness of Rome.
This is what the Americans called the American dream.
But the ultimate destiny of nations is to rise and fall.
China is there,the mandarins are Achilles heel of the Joes

Of course, the disunity can only happen in their wide imaginations. Yorubas are genetically and socially immune to such trivial, archaic manipulations
