Why did the world react when MOAB was used in Afghanistan?

Show us the list of your so called restrictions, not your irrelevant opinions and questions.

So 13_year olds are starting threads on Nairaland now. What a simple minded question.

supercase1:

abi ooo I swear down one marine battalion go finish all naija army divisions combined in less than 5 days in an open warfare

Chai!!! Hollywood!!

rontolo:

Yes. One battalion can comprise up to 1000 soldiers. Yes, a modern force of 1000 soldiers can defeat the rag tag Nigerian forces. These will comprise of special operatives and forces such as army rangers unit. Drop the MOAB at the centre of the core troops and anyone within 5 miles radius has their air-drums destroyed. The Nigerian air assets will be destroyed on the ground. We can’t even defend against rag-tag BH. Radars will be jammed. Modern air defence capabilities are at another level. Our archaic command-and-control systems will be destroyed. Psyops will be in play. This is the classic ‘kill the shepherd’ doctrine. The rank and file will desert. Modern warfare is not about numbers. That’s why Saddam’s forces of 2.3M troops were destroyed in record time (despite their relative professionalism). This is the basis for military coups. Whole brigades are demobilised by a few committed troops who know where to go!

Also, The Nigeria military today is grossly overrated. You just don’t realise how deep nepotism and unprofessionalism have eaten up the forces.

You have solid points.I quite agree with you.
We aren't technologically at par with the US army...little wonder they are one of the best trained in the world!

As for BH,they would have been long forgotten if not for some reasons hidden from the public .

IamAtikulate:

Does a state of war exist between the US and Taliban?

Is there any Congress authorization to use the military force of the US to wage war against Taliban?

Buhari sent 400 airforce personnel to Senegal to help oust former president of the Gambia.

Were they there on excursion? Was Nigeria in a state of war with Gambia?

US invasion of Afghanistan
In response to the September 11, 2001, attacks on the US that killed about 3,000 people, then-President George W Bush ordered an invasion of Afghanistan.

Soon after, US-led forces toppled the Taliban which was in power since 1996.

More than 1,000 US soldiers were on the ground at the time, with numbers growing and reaching up to more than 10,000 soldiers by December 2003.

You can see that the combat operations against the talibans in Afghanistan was a response to an attack lauched against the US on 11/09/2001

One American military base, fit wipe out the whole of Nigerian military, plus police and amotekun

THAT'S WIERD. THE FACT ON THE GROUND IS, ALL AMERICANS, BLACK AND WHITE, LITERATES AND ILLITERATES, WACHO AND SUBTLE, LIKE NIGERIANS

THAT'S WIERD. THE FACT ON THE GROUND IS, ALL AMERICANS, BLACK AND WHITE, LITERATES AND ILLITERATES, WACHO AND SUBTLE, LIKE NIGERIANS LIKE NEW BORN BABIES.

supercase1:

u are ignorant of America millitary might and I don't blame u it's due to ignorance culture that have overtaken Nigerians that y they don't reason normally

so for your mind in a state of total national war between between nortth Vietnam and USA north Vietnam go win abi u think north Vietnam tunnels and bunkers can survive mordern American bunker bursting bombs that can even penetrate 100s of meters beneath to ground,locate the target before it detonates abi?

so north Vietnam get weapons pass Saddam Hussein and his army during the gulf war abi?

as I said before I don't blame u,it's the decayed and failed naija systems I blame.

Stop watching Hollywood flicks.... why can't they use their "bunker bursting bombs" to defeat Taliban...
Ohh the used MOAB once, how many died?

Nobody doubts that.

USA invaded Afghan, but USA was never in a state of war against Afghan.

Below is the official peace agreement between Aghanistan and the US government.





So, what war is the US trying or end if they really are not in any war?

You you mean you as a layman posting ignorant rubbish from your village know more than the US government?

It is not by force to be ignorant and keep confirming that you are.

Go school, you no gree.

War (call to arms) is a broad term and it is different from state of war.

In a state of war, the president has emergency power and has full authorization of the state to use the military might of the country, not pockets of soldiers.

In a state of war, the president has the power to federalize the National Guard.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war

The war against terror is a global campaign against terrorists not a USA war. USA only led the campaign.

USA involvement in Afghan is known as USA Intervention in Afghan. You can be at war not in a state of war.

Illiterate, declaration of war in America is not the definition for war, the definition is in the dictionary, not in our rettarded Wikipedia copy and paste rubbish.

This is how these WAEC drop out fail WAEC

If WAEC ask this illiterate to define WAR, the joker go just copy and paste wikipedia.

I hope you are not the dullest knife in your village because if so, your village is in serious trouble.

US is not in a state of war in Afghanistan, but they signed peace deal to end the war?

So, what war are they trying to end in Afghanistan?
You mean you know nothing joker know more than the American government itself?


Ignorance is indeed a disease.

Imagine telling the USA what it means for them to be at war?

Yoruba people need help.

It seems you are equating War in Afghanistan to USA being in a state of war with Afghan.

Go and study about Operation Enduring Freedom, USA campaign in Afghan.

WiA has been an ongoing operation even before USA invasion. OEF is USA punitive intervention in that conflict and it won and has since closed the operation.

Ongoing WiA is presently led by NATO and USA as a NATO member has troops on ground which Trump is presenting withdrawing.

USA is not in a state of war with Afghan. Afghan is USA ally. Afghan is in a state of war with Taliban and USA is providing support to its ally.

USA involvement in Afghan is just a segment of the Global War on Terror. USA operation is not limited to just Afghan, it is a world wide operation.

They are all NATO operations.

willybaby:
such insults on ur nation on a Sunday... Please have some patriotism.. put aside equipment Nigeria can go toe to toe with the US... We saved Somalia after the USA ran out with there tail between there legs, you fail to realise American hasn't won a war in ages, the were booted out in Vietnam and Korea, is it Afghanistan where the looking for a peace deal or what... Sir being woke doesn't entail insulting your country, or castigating for no reason.. The Nigerian military ain't perfect but they are trying..

while i don't see US Army as invincible, your analysis is not holistic.

Modern Warfares are won by technology. over 90% of tools used by NA are purchased. With ordinary sanctions and bullying, the us would crumble the country. I don't think there is any country would want to sell arms to Nigeria while she is at war WITH USA. That's if we even have money to pay. 90% of our narional revenue comes from oil. No single oil would leave this country during such time..



Welfare. Nigeria soldiers are paid an average of 60k. They buy their own kits. retraining is almost none existent. 4 months after a soldier's demise, the family is kicked out of the barracks. No food for them. rhey feed from their meager 60k.


In 2009 when Boko Haram started most young officers don't know what an IED was. No combat experience. The set that fought 1970 war are all gone out of the military.

Oblongata:
Nigerian ground forces are one of the best in the world...

Given the same logistics and equipment, Nigerian Army would outshine American army.

Forget all the films you watch about US army... the US army is not that rugged, and depends largely on CIA for intelligence which makes their operations far more successful than others.

Nigerian army is great and rugged, but sabotage has killed the morale, I pray it goes back to its glory days

This nonsense bragging is the reason why the country in one of worst in the world. There was never any glory day. It has been steady deterioration from what Oyinbo left. An army that threatens to rape women; is that one an Army?

Fighting associated with Boko Haram killed 6,347 civilians in 2014

In 2014 alone, BH killed over 6,000 Nigerians when Jona let BH run amok.

What's the number today?

Shows you how much we've curtailed and confine BH.

BH used to set off bombs everyday, the send out suicide bombers everyday to blow up markets and even mosques, the used to set off bombs even in Abuja, they took control of nearly the whole of Borno state with their flags flying everywhere, but you don't see all that anymore, they just exploit soft targets and play hide and seek.

Terrorists are not at your doorsteps because our brave men and women are sacrificing their lives to make sure they don't show up at your door.

The US Army will take over Sambisa in a week. As a comparison, even with an Iraqi Army superior to Nigeria's, Baghdad was taken in a week. Please check this out before responding.

for you to stick to this mentality means u are already been brainwashed beyound redemption or u are just a heartless and brainless buhari supporter

Jonathan was very clueless,he thought that by doing and playing politics to favor the north he would come back for a second term and make the northern cabals his friends but he was disappointed and totally destroyed.
Jonathan sacked gen iherjirika that kept Bokoharam on their heels and choose to play Politics with bokoharam,before he left the final 2 weeks in office the mercenaries he brought in totally dismantled Bokoharam, pressmen where reporting live from gwoza,mubi and other areas that where liberated and a week before he handed over there was no bomb blast.why did your evil buhari drove the mecenaries that had already cutailed Bokoharam away,because he felt bad that his brothers are been killed hence the tempo had to change.bokoharam regained tempo the moment buhari became president.so stop this rubbish talk of buhari stopped suicide bombings because buhari is a bloody terrorists and numbers of people that died in his cursed reign had trippled or quadrupled.
buhari is a Diseaster
