You still dey cho.
Whether you like it or not, the Khamenei now, was NOT the supreme leader Khamenei one year ago. In fact, this one is only alive because he made it to a “no keel list.”

Secondly, no one expects a jeehardeest group to “surrender.” That is why the US has always had an issue with any war in the Middle East. Only Israel understands how to deal with them: “keep the assaaulht until they vanish.”

Boko Haram will never surrender
Azawad of Mali will never surrender
Hamas will never surrender
Hezbollah will never surrender

That is because they are not conventional armies. They are a religious army. And religion first makes a man unreasonable. They refuse to see the evidence and choose to believe the lie. So they may be loosing, but they view their loss as victory 😅. They may be dyeing, but will see it as “marttyyrdom.” Only Israel knows how to make them disappear.

You don’t understand the art of war. In a war, you have to achieve political objectives to win and the US hasn’t achieved a single objective. It hasn’t meaningfully degraded Iran’s capabilities. There was a study showing that Iran still had 85% of its drone capability, Iran still holds the strait which caused an energy crisis, the IRGC is intact and so Is the leadership but replaced. Khamanei was going

Ali Khamanei was expecting to have died be it through health complications (he had cancer) or being assassinated ( which the US already did). His son was getting ready to take over. Killing the leadership was really not a flex as he was already getting replaced by his son sometime down the line the US just sped it up. Mojitaba was positioned to assume his father’s place.

Those groups you have listened are less of religious groups but more of extremists and the reason the US or any major power cannot defeat them is because guerilla warfare is kryptonite for any world power. It’s why the Americans and Russian lost/losing in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Ukraine etc is cause you cannot beat insurgents with military might alone. A war is not about whom can bomb the other harder. It is a continuation of politics. Battles don’t decide the winner. It’s diplomacy and ultimately being able to achieve your political objectives.

Cho Cho Cho
“US can never win…” yet they poked holes through out Tehran, and made the survivors, whom they kept alive, to “agree to a deal.”

I mean, imagine coming to my house, vanishing my father, burying my certificate in a place I can’t access again, and then making me sign a memorandum of understanding.

E make sense?

😅😅😅

Why would you sign a deal with the country you have defeated? Make this make sense 😂
Trump asked for unconditional surrender has Iran given that to them?

Imagine asking someone to surrender only striking them from afar (only air power) cause you are to scared to face them and acting like you are winning.
You are a fool. America is not meant to sign a peace agreement with a country it has ‘beaten’ 😂. As a winner, you set the terms not the opposing side. Heck there shouldn’t even be a peace agreement if you are actually the winner.

The four main parts of US Iran Peace agreement is: The 4 main pillars are:
a Ceasefire end to direct hostilities, Reopening Strait of Hormuz,Sanctions relief + economic concessions,Nuclear restrictions + inspections negotiations. It’s a far worse deal than the Obama one. It mostly favours Iran. Iran announced the other it closed the strait of Hormuz, they still have nuclear material and they gave far fewer concessions.

Helinuse:
Oh yes, taking out the leadership has a lot to do with jeehard. It simply will mean that they will have no coordination, and therefore loose their ability to project power beyond their limited environment.


Osama was taken out, Al Qaeda vanished into fringes of the Middle East.
Baghdadi was taken out and the formidable ISIS vanished to the crevices of Syria.

And for your information: the reason why US don’t want to put boots on ground, is that they already know that the IRGC is gone. 😅😅😅

It may take some time,
They may still terorrize the high seas,
But surely, they will recede back just like AlQaeda.

Osama and AQ maybe gone but not the Taliban which was the whole point of the war after killing Osama. America tried and failed to extinguish the Taliban. They made the Taliban stronger.

The Taliban today control more of Afghanistan than they did pre 9/11 and NATO left lots of military equipment that the Taliban has now incorporated its into military. The Taliban were flexing American weapons in parades at the end of the war.

What you brought up was minor victories but ultimately the US lost the Afghanistan War, The same way they lost in Vietnam and like what is happening in Iran.

Iran cannot project power and lack coordination? They have bombed every gulf country and hit critical infrastructure in those region. Killing Mojitaba’s father did nothing. That just angered the people.

The US does not have the means to invade Iran whatsoever. Iran has several times the landmass and population of Afghanistan and Vietnam countries the US failed in. On top of that, the terrain and climate in Iran is not favourable for any invading force.

America cannot even defeat much smaller foes and you think US can have boots on the ground? The US cannot even take Kharg Island talkless of taking Iran. Iran’s Foreign Minister Arabbas Aragaichi when asked does Iran fear boots on the ground and he smiled saying ‘No, we are waiting for them’.

Trump would be sending troops to their grave if the US dared to put troops on the ground. America has failed against much weaker foes and they want to take on a foe like Iran? You are a dreamer.

Helinuse:
Oh dear,

Everyone here was suggesting that they are the only country that can fight the US. 😅😅😅

Until Israel proved them otherwise.

And yes, Iran has terrorized the world economic system as meager pirates, just as the Somalians were doing, until the world got tired of them and put it all to an end.

For now, the world is not yet tired of Iranian piracy. When they are, no one will set boots on ground. They will just give the Kurds, the order.

😅😅😅

The fear of the world is that, no one knows what the Kurds are capable of, if they gain power. That is why even Turkey is begging US not to arm the Kurds.

The world literally cannot do anything has Iran has the energy market at its bulls. Have you seen the surge in oil prices globally cause of the war? The masses cannot afford that.

America asked other countries to assist in opening the strait of Hormuz and they all rejected. Iran now charges ships to cross the strait of Hormuz. This war is America’s Suez Crisis. They cannot invade Iran either as that would be Afghanistan/Vietnam 2.0.

This war has done nothing more than hasten US decline.

Nobody is saying that they are the only country that can fight the US but that Iran is an example of another weaker power beating America😂

America likes to act like the big dog yet it picks on weaker countries and still looses.

antimater:
Are you done ?😏

Now crawl back to where you came from.

I live in the United States and won't waste my time trying to educate folks like you

And so what you live in the US? What is special about the United Shithole of America? A country that more and more people are running away from? Oga educate yourself cause you are really clueless. America and the Western world is finished as a civilisation.

Helinuse:
😅😅😅
What ever makes you happy bro.


But they took out the supreme leader of the Muslim world SUPER POWER and all his generals and nothings happened.

Not even one IDF soldier fell sick with malaria.

😅😅😅😅

Like how the US replaced the Taliban with the Taliban is like how they replaced Khamanei with Khamanei. Killing the leadership did nothing but just make the country angrier. The leadership has been replaced.

Iran still maintains most of its drone capability. US and Israel did not degrade them that badly.

Helinuse:
😅😅😅

Well, it’s funny that random bombing of allied nations is what you refer to as “some damage” that is worth to be called victory.

😅😅😅

Iran has always mouthed itself to be the super power of all Muslim. A place that even Turkey which is 10 times more powerful and organized does not see itself.

Moreso, if you think terrorizing an international water way is the best posturing of strength, wait until the world gets tired of you. Then you will understand what Somalia understood when the world became tired of their piracy.

Nobody here is suggesting that Iran is a peer or a superpower. Iran is not even close to that but the fact that the US has been unable to incapacitate Iran and has had to sign a peace deal with them is hilarious. The world’s ’superpower’ cannot even defeat a middling power like Iran.

Iran has also inflicted a lot of economic pain on the world by closing the strait which is a global chokepoint.

Ajaludaogidi:
People will soon realize what is meant by THE ART AND F THE DEAL. Underestimate Trump at your own peril.

Trump has done nothing.

Helinuse:


There is.
We took out Osama, but that did not mean that we uprooted AlQaeda. It took some time.
We have taken out ayatollah, but that does not mean the IRGC is gone. It will take some time. But it will surely go.

What will hasten the process is only if the US loosens Israel's hands; then the process will be 50X faster.

These are minor victories. You took out Osama and AQ but stayed in Afghanistan all just to lose to them after 20 years. The same thing happened in Vietnam. America cannot even beat farmers in Afghanistan and Vietnam 😂

US and Israel together cannot defeat Iran as this war has shown. They haven’t even done that much damage to Iran. The damage they have done is largely being rebuilt by Iran now.

Helinuse:
I don't even understand you, sef.
You are too funny.


I am telling you that if the US had taken off the no-kill list, the same list that spared the life of the supreme leader in the 12-day war, there would be no IRGC today.

Too much for an "Iran superpower."

Then why don’t they do it? America is all talk. They have been bombing the hell out of the Iranians but IRGC is still intact, They replaced Khamanei with Khamanei😂. Iran closed down the strait etc

Guestmale:
America is not really against Iranians but Iranian autocratic government.but Russia has been taking the war directly to the unarmed Ukrainians.

The same America that funds autocratic Saudi Arabia 😂

Helinuse:
Because they survived?

How about the Taliban?
Shouldn't they also be studied?
How about ISIS?
Didn't they also survive?
How about Hezbollah?
Didn't they survive?
Why should Iran be studied?

Because of survival?

The US can’t even beat a bunch of farmers in Afghanistan and Vietnam.

Helinuse:


Before the war, the mouth made on Iran was too much that it was regarded as par with Russia and China. Even America took them as a formidable enemy. Little did people know that they were a group of ragtag terrorists that only depended on the tactic of "wearing out" their enemies.


This war has exposed them badly. Their only saving grace is that the region they find themselves in depends heavily on assets they can sacrifice anything for. Assets such as energy installations, refineries, rigs, and transport routes.

Even America knows very well that if they let Israel's hands loose now, Iran will be Gaza.

What are you smoking? Nobody saw Iran has anywhere near China and Russia. Iran is not close to a peer but has inflicted quite some damage on not just the US but its gulf partners. Iran War is America’s Suez confirming it’s no longer the world’s superpower anymore.

EdiskyHarry:
How Iran stood alone to fight these two nations should be studied as a course in all Western universities.
Ukraine has exposed to us that Russia is only big in African media,
Iran has exposed to us that USA is nothing without nuclear weapons

Ukraine is a country that is armed by 40+ countries that has still been wrecked by Russia.

What is it then?

It’s not a good example of nature is what I’m saying. You won’t really see good nature in the UK.

1Sharon:
Most Nigerian women already help reduce financial burden. Because most Nigerian women work. I’m very certain your mother wasn’t a housewife and you’ve never even met a housewife in Nigeria. So stop the pretence.

Now question for you, what is your BMI? When last did you go for a medical check-up? Do you know what your creatinine levels are? Do you drink? Do you smoke? Do you workout?

Do you have more kids than you can afford?

Yeah no most are leeches not all but most and most want the man to fund their entire lifestyle no independent mindset at all. Most are the financial burden.

1Sharon:
Nice.The beauty of the UK is out there if you're into nature.

Lake District and the mountains of Scotland are on my bucket list.

Absolute BS, UK and Europe in general is the last place to go for nature especially untamed nature. Most of the nature in Europe is heavily curated as they wiped it out mostly a couple centuries ago. Scotland is the only part of the UK that has anything close to true wilderness. England is 72% farmland and the rest of it is very urbanised.

PaZwoD:
Just say English Mud House

It’s quite different to a mud house

shaybebaby:
Essex is one of the flattest and driest counties in the UK, Cumbria the opposite, mountainous and the wettest.

I'll add pictures once we arrive but in the meantime. Enjoy the pics of the landscape as I traverse from south to North.

You call that one nature? That is what you are calling a mountain?😂

Exactly! The paper thing is a factor.

There's nothing even wrong with marrying a foreign woman. But these guys always have to bash Nigerian women in the process and glorify the western woman like they are without faults.

The grass is really greener on the other side till you cross over and see how much extra work is put in to make it so.

A woman is a woman anywhere on earth the same way a man is a man anywhere on earth but the differences in culture are clear. Nobody is saying that foreign women are perfect but highlighting differences.

Latest update is that Nigerians are now migrating to Iran, Iraq, Russia and china 😁

Who said they are? As I said before, less people not just Nigerians but from the global south in general are flocking to western countries. The US had negative growth last year. More people left than came into the US in 2025. There are significantly fewer Africans flocking to the West. in the UK, net migration fell from roughly 944,000 in 2023 to around 171,000 in 2025. That’s a drop of about 82% from the peak.
People really do not see the western world as this pinnacle of human civilisation anymore but for the shithole it really is.

It makes sense now cause you have a westernised view of the world.
The same USA that can’t even handle Iran that had to sign a deal with Iran the same country they claimed to have defeated is what you are defending.

The entire global south has gone red be in in trade, technology, infrastructure etc. China is way ahead. What influences Africa has is coming more from Beijing and Moscow not Washington, Brussels or London. You are spewing the usual western narrative coping about their decline.

educatedfool:
America's wealth measurements can be misleading because they are based largely on asset prices, which can be inflated by speculation.

It is a valuation of his assets which is at that $1+ trillion mark now.

antimater:
@Sladem05, you have made several claims. I needed to educate you otherwise I won't bother responding to your posts. Some persons I long to see engage me on this thread is the man called Pansophist, Freestuffsng and some other Islamists and and anti west people who believe (in their little mind that the West is collapsing).

Moving forward,let me respond to each one of claims directly.

First, you say Russia and China are not open to immigrants but still have growing numbers of African and Asian migrants. That is not the flex you think it is. A country tolerating migrants for labour does not make it a successful society for those migrants. The question is not how many Africans live in China. The question is how they are treated. What jobs they hold. What rights they have. How much money they can send back home.

Nigerians in China are mostly traders and students. Very few rise to positions of influence. They don't send billions of dollars in remittances back to Nigeria. Compare that to Nigerians in the United States. They are doctors, engineers, tech executives, university professors, and business owners. They send over 7 billion dollars a year back to Nigeria. That is money that builds houses, pays school fees, and starts businesses.

Show me a single Nigerian in China who sends that kind of money home. You cannot.

Second, you say African migration to the West has slowed or reversed. That is not true. The numbers tell a different story. Between 2010 and 2023, the number of sub Saharan Africans living in OECD countries grew by 78 percent. That is not a reversal. That is growth. The United States remains the top destination for Nigerian migrants. The United Kingdom is second. Canada is growing fast. People are not fleeing the West. They are still going. They are still staying. They are still sending money home.

You say Africans view the West as a decaying civilization. That is what people say on social media. That is not what people do with their lives. If the West is finished, why are Nigerians still applying for visas? Why are Nigerian students still paying tuition at American and British universities? Why are Nigerian nurses still moving to the UK and Canada? Actions speak louder than tweets.

Third, you say most Nigerians abroad are not doing well. That is also false. The data is clear. Nigerians in the United States are among the most educated immigrant groups in the country. Over 60 percent hold a bachelor's degree or higher. That is higher than the American national average. Nigerian American households have a median income above the US average. Nigerian Americans own homes at rates comparable to the general population. These are not struggling people. These are people who are succeeding.

Does that mean every Nigerian immigrant is rich? Of course not. Some struggle. Some work multiple jobs. Some face discrimination. But to say most are at the bottom is simply not supported by the evidence.

Now let me ask you a question in return. What about Nigerians in China? What is their median income? What percentage hold professional jobs? What percentage are business owners? Where is the data? You will not find it, because it does not exist in any comparable form.

You say the West is a failing civilization that cannot look after its own people. There is truth in that. Homelessness exists. Inequality exists. Racism exists. No serious person denies that. But here is the difference. In the West, Nigerians can complain openly. They can organize. They can run for office. They can build wealth and pass it to their children. They can send their kids to good schools. They can buy homes in safe neighborhoods.

Try doing that in China, Russia or Iran as a Nigerian. Try buying a home. Try getting a mortgage. Try sending your child to a Chinese public school and having them treated equally. Try running for local office. Try organizing a protest against working conditions. You cannot.

So do not tell me the West is finished. The West has real problems. Serious problems. But it is still the place where millions of Nigerians have built successful lives. It is still the place where they send their children for education. It is still the place they choose to live when they have a choice.

You talk about building Africa. I want that too. I want Nigeria to industrialize. I want us to stop exporting raw materials and importing finished goods. I want us to manufacture what we consume. That is my position, and I have written about it at length.

But pretending the West is worthless does not help Africa. Ignoring the fact that China extracts more from Nigeria than it gives back does not help Africa. Pretending that Nigerians are not succeeding abroad does not help Africa.

The truth is that the West, for all its flaws, has created systems where Nigerians can thrive. China has not. Russia has not. The numbers prove it. The remittances prove it. The educational achievements prove it. The professional success of Nigerian Americans proves it. I know countless of people who migrated from Nigeria to UK , Canada, USA in recent times and am sure alot of people here on this platform also have those who relocated abroad to Western countries. I also know many more who are intending to.

And the truth does not care whether you like it or not.

How isn’t the West finished? US can’t even cripple Iran. They couldn’t even beat the Taliban in Afghanistan. They lost to a country without a military. I don die 😂. Europe is becoming irrelevant. Everything about the western world be it their systems, power, governance, influence etc is collapsing. The West is done.

I don’t even know where to start with this delusional brainwash but this is largely western propaganda.

The West is not good for Africa period. They colonised the continent, extracted its wealth and they benefit from Africa being underdeveloped. China’s influence in Africa and the global south now is overwhelming. Who are African countries’ biggest trading partners? Whom has done most of the infrastructure projects in Africa in the past 20 years? Whom dominates Africa’s telecom infrastructure and tech in general? It is not the west. It is China. Heck even Russia is far better than any western country in Africa. The west has done nothing more than destroy that continent.
You think the West is free? Tell that Edward Snowden or Julian Assange. You can’t even post a meme on twitter without getting jailed here.

Migration to the West has slowed. In America, they experienced a negative migration rate in 2025. People from the global south in general are not flocking to the West anymore
this means in numbers)

Nigeria (UK example)

* 2022–2023 peak period: ~60,000–70,000/year (ONS range in earlier releases)
* 2024: ~52,000 (down slightly from peak)

Africa broadly (OECD countries)

* African migration to OECD countries is still in the hundreds of thousands per year, but:
* Student visas dropped sharply in 2024–2025 (UK, Canada, Australia all down ~15–40%)
* Work migration is more stable than student migration


Africa and generally Africans like the rest of the world do view the West as a declining civilisation. It’s a multipolar world just look at the US and Iran war. China is now the dominant power in Africa and the global south in general and that is by a widening margin. The West really does not offer much to Africa or Africans.

And no that group of Nigerians you listed is a highly specified group. Most Nigerians and Africans in the western largely end up in mediocrity. Heck many of them are even coming back now Z
