Heard of a BLUE NAVY? i hate to admit it,,, united states is the only naval power on the face of the earth that can project power to any part of the globe!
how did they achieve it? that's a million dollar question! if you ask me, i will say...
"at the political level,,, they're above us, government after government successfully did & submitted her home work as regards domestic & international policies...they have a clearly defined template in art of governance"

there's a reason they have and maintain military/naval bases across the globe. china or russia don't have such luxury.
You're right, and I like how you know that the US projects their power with their navy vis their aircraft carriers. Russia has developed a missile specifically for taking out aircraft carriers and current defence systems on aircraft carriers are unable to protect against this missile.
Also, the Russian naval philosophy has NEVER been about surface warfare. They've always preferred submarines.
Iran is surrounded by US bases. The US builds bases to protect their interests and assets and some countries agree to have US bases sites in them in exchange for aid. Other countries are bullied into allowing them site the bases in their territory. The problem with physical buildings, bases included, is they can easily be taken out if you have the right munitions.

The US foreign policy has always been based on intimidation, but that has been waning considerably

Well, Trump has not done much for the American families that were massacred in Mexico.
At least he is building the boundary walls to curtail influx of criminals from Mexico and block their escape route!!

Apart from that the Mexican government don't sponsor terrorist like the Iranian government!!

You should learn more or travel more before you comment online.....
Where would oil tankers pass when they must pass through Strait of Hormuz that's is under Iranian Revolutionary guards? Which insurance or private shipping company would want to take such risks passing through war zone? Besides, the news of crises in that region would raise oil prices astronomically. In case you don't know, Nigeria's daily oil capacity is less than 3m
So in your small brain you can't imagine that IN TIME OF WAR the so called STRAIT OF HORMUZ can be invaded by the Americans and taken control of?!

F-35 is obsolete? Waoh? The future of modern warfare is not on air? You a great analyst kudos.
The F-35 is obsolete. After all the billions of dollars sunk into the program, by the time it's development was completed, most of its features already had better and less expensive variants.
No doubt, it's a very capable fighter, but other less-expensive options are available. Don't get me wrong, the F-35 will be used for years to come, but as a high-tech fighter, it's already outdated.
Several countries are already building 6th-gen fighters

Are you talking of Japan that entered Protection agreement with the US and which they both operate joint military trainings and actions?!!
I’m talking of the Japan that the Americans killed thousands of their people.....u think an agreement will make a nation forget stuff like Hiroshima and Nagasaki ....agreements can be broken any day... and signed with another ....is the UK not coming out the economic marriage with the EU......my assumptions were based on war situations... and in wars, countries take sides.....and after the war they make up...its not a new thing...

clown.

Iran cannot access common antibiotics for its people.
The ayatollahs are living large while the common people suffer the brunt of the sanctions.

Antagonising America for the sake of antagonism is not progress.
Zimbabwe is proof of that.

The only way for Iran to prosper is by making peace with the western powers.
If you don't like it, it doesn't change the truth.

Under the current circumstances, Iran cannot prosper.
And America's health care where medical emergencies lead to bankruptcy and ambulance rides cost thousands are where health care is affordable? huh You also forget how America has been violating Iran's airspace and blocking their water ways. If you want peace then the U.S. should stop destabilising the Middle East, your idea of peace isn't mutual understanding but simple subjugation.

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.
Sustained crisis is also a tactics. If you keep your enemy in turmoil they may never gain sufficient energy to challenge you. This tactics works ..the cost is not as high as given you enemies enough space to gather sufficient funds and support to challenge you.

I never underrated them. They're a very powerful country. I just don't overrate them the way you're doing.

The US always shows their new weapons. You can follow DARPA on Instagram to see their latest weaponry. Every country shows their military might, that's why they do drills and parades. The F-35 is their best fighter so far and the S400 was developed by Russia and not the US.

I never said an S400 can defend an entire country. Unless we're talking about a country with a small land mass like the Vatican. You'll need multiple batteries, places at strategic locations around a country to protect that country.
The S400 has a range of up to 400km and so for you to destroy it, you need to come close to it, and how're you going to do that in an aircraft when you have missiles fired from the S400 closing in on you from all sides. The SAM can also engage multiple targets at the same time, you you and your buddies are in trouble.
The system is mobile and can be moved from place to place, unlike those of the US that are fixed.
It can track and engage with many different types of missiles and so even before your missile reaches it, the operators of the S400 can move it to a different location and it'll still take out your missile before your missile hits.
I also learnt that an upgrade, the S500 is already in development
So with an annual defence budget of over 693billion dollars an F35 will be their best? Lol... uncle.. f35 won't even be in their top 10. Have you heard about covert military research programmes? If you know how big 693billion dollars is, compared to Iran's 18billion dollars you would understand. Iran stands no chance whatsoever. They will be leveled before they even think of launching any warhead ...

I never mentioned the USA when I postulated about the 3 millenniums. Western civilization has endured for a very long time with credible historical facts and successes. Now tell me what your ancestors did in the usa since they touched down there as slaves. Mind you, soldiers don't shape history but kings and generals rather, likewise laborers
I already told you, I even told you how the whites destroyed these communities in a rage of jealousy. If you decide not to recognize these accomplishments it's because the green eye monster is controlling you as well.

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
Typical Nigerian mentality of staying put jejely in one's house and enjoying your garri.
We lack patriotism.
USA didn't just kill him, they killed him because of his crimes against it's citizens.

How can a country as big and mountainous as Iran be leveled? Except Trump plans to use nukes, Iran cannot be leveled.

LOL. There are no alliances like that of interest.

No middle east is fighting for Iran. Only terrorists will make noise and bomb facilities within heir reach(not on US soil, anyways) and that would be that. Besides, Ayatollah will right now be suing for peace.

We will Come back to this conversation after this is over.
