It's okay 😂 US should bring back their troops to the gulf region or try escorting a ship through the Strait of Hormuz 😂🤣😂🤣😂

No be by cho cho cho and gobling up propaganda, have you heard any news telling you US soldiers are returning to destroyed bases to resume business as usual?

That's why most times, it's difficult to argue with you lots. You basically don't use your number 6.

Donald Trump forced him into ceasefire against Pakistan, Modi was silent.

Trump forced, revised, increased, revised tariffs, added penalities on India, Modi was silent,

Trump forced India to stop buying Russian oil, Modi was silent.

Trump claimed that he can destroy Modi s career in politics, Modi remained silent.

Trump forced a completely anti India Trade deal on India, Modi shamelessly signed it, celebrated and acknowledged felicitation, sacrificed Indian farmers, agreed to charge no tariffs on US exports to India, agreed to buy USA goods including agricultural produce worthy 5 billion USD, Modi remained silent and obeyed every diktats.

Netanyahu invited him 2 days before attacking #Iran,Modi was silent.

USA, #Israel attacked Iran, Modi was silent.

USA assassinated Iran's Supreme leader #Khemnai, Modi was silent.

Israel's army head claims on their TV that they have taken control of India and will use India for mass production and sale of weapons, Modi was silent.

USA official claims that since their own war ports in Gulf countries have been destroyed,they are having to use Indian ports for the #USIranWar, Modi was silent.

USA attacked and destroyed within Indian waters, Iris Dena, an Iranian Ship that was not part of the #USIranConflict but was returning after a joint Navy exercise with India, Modi was silent.

What exactly exists in the #EpsteinFiles about #NarendraModi, is Modi also a Paedophile, a criminal or something much worse, has he also done any crimes against women, kids or much worse?
Why is @narendramodi so afraid of Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and his name being present in the #EpsteinFiles that he is silent on literally everything he shud have made a statement on in the last few weeks and months?

What is Narendra Modi being blackmailed about and to what extent that he is behaving like a slave of Trump and Netanyahu, keeping Indias internal security, interests and the dignity and sovereignty of India at bay only to Tom Tom their orders like a donkey?

Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Is ‘Running Out Of Missiles’ - The Telegraph by Uptownerd: 11:24am On Mar 05
Ah yes. Very soon they will start fighting with shovels and hoes cheesy

Where have I heard this before... Ah. Russia!
US has lost their objective... Regime change is not working.

So now they're bombing aimlessly, even as they know that the Iranian leadership has gone underground.

Meanwhile, Iran has decapitated their military bases in the gulf region and sent USA running like scared little furs. 😭 about Spain refusing them airbase. As if Spain na olodo like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, etc... Half of your citizens speak Spanish

Foreign AffairsRe: Iran Vs Usa/israel WAR (LIVE UPDATES) by Uptownerd(op): 4:10pm On Mar 03
Iran's Air Base Campaign: Why US Strikes on Iran Are Already Fading? Iran cannot match the US or Israel plane for plane. It does not need to. What it is doing instead is methodically degrading the infrastructure that makes sustained US air strikes possible. The result is a US air campaign that looks overwhelming today but will be severely constrained within 7-14 days. Most observers underestimate this because they focus on aircraft losses rather than the logistics chain that keeps those aircraft flying.

What Iran Has Hit (Confirmed Damage)

Iran has struck every major US regional land base involved in Operation Epic Fury support or staging:

- Al Udeid (Qatar): Primary CENTCOM air operations centre. Satellite comms terminals destroyed, runway damage, 3 US airmen killed.
- Al Dhafra (UAE): F-35/F-16 hub. Hangars hit, ISR aircraft grounded.
- Fifth Fleet HQ / NSA Bahrain: Command node. Roof collapses, comms blackout.
- Ali Al Salem & Camp Arifjan (Kuwait): Refuelling and logistics. Terminal fires, 2 US killed.
- Erbil (Iraq): Drone hub. US consulate damaged, MQ-9 operations suspended.

Israel Bases Hit
Nevatim, Hatzerim, Ramon. F-35 losses confirmed (3 aircraft), runway craters, maintenance facilities burning. Israeli sortie rate down 60 percent.

New Hits: Cyprus & Jordan
- RAF Akrotiri (Cyprus): RC-135 Rivet Joint intel planes staged here after Al Udeid. Drone strike Sunday, runway damage, 2 drones intercepted Monday.
- Muwaffaq Salti (Jordan): F-35s, F-15Es, A-10s, tankers. Multiple missile hits, THAAD battery engaged.

What Iran Claims (Lincoln Hit)
IRGC says four ballistic missiles struck USS Abraham Lincoln. CENTCOM denies. Lincoln continues ops but repositioned further east. Eisenhower unconfirmed but operating at max range.

What Remains Untouched
- Diego Garcia: B-2 bombers only. Out of range.
- US Carriers: Lincoln/Eisenhower in Arabian Sea. Vulnerable but operational.
- UK Lakenheath/Fairford: F-22s staged. UK denies offensive use.

What This Means for US Air Power

Iran hit the sustainment layer, not the fighters themselves. No land base is safe for staging heavy jets within 1,000 miles of Iran. Refuelling tankers cannot loiter over Gulf. ISR coverage degraded 70 percent. Satellite relays down.

Timeline of Constraint
- Now: Sortie rate 50 percent of peak. Carriers carry load.
- 7 Days: Land bases fully defensive. Carrier ops at max range (limited ordnance). Drones/B-2s only for high value targets.
- 14 Days: Carriers rotate or risk saturation. No safe tanker orbits. Air campaign becomes sporadic.

Iran's Airspace Recovery
Iran regains control not by matching F-35s but by denying US the forward infrastructure. S-300/400 batteries reload. Fighter patrols resume. Airspace contested, not denied. Enough to protect regime survival.

US retains deep strike capability but loses sustained suppression. Iran buys time, survives the storm. Conventional air dominance erodes to parity.

Topman7:
Once the US economy crashes in the next few years, the entire world nuclear program would start to be dismantled.....Nuclear weapons are only desired by nations because AMERICA is around.

Once America is gone, the need for the nukes evaporates and they become an expensive liability.
Unfortunately, the US economy is not going to crash in the next 20 years. However, their influence will continually dissipate gradually until it becomes a shadow of itself and become like UK.

Nigeria Must Develop a Defense Doctrine and Acquire Nuclear Weapons Immediately
⚫📝
Uptownerd Editorial | By Oha Michael ESQ| 1st March 2026
ABUJA, NIGERIA - The world order is not evolving peacefully. It is fracturing into raw multipolar competition, and Nigeria is naked in the middle of it. Boko Haram and ISWAP factions are resurgent in the northeast, banditry and jihadist creep from the northwest is spreading toward the Gulf of Guinea, separatist gunmen linked to IPOB keep the southeast bleeding, and herder-farmer massacres rack the north-central zone. Early 2026 body counts already top a thousand dead in weeks. US airstrikes hit our soil, Trump-era rhetoric labels us a Christian-genocide zone, and our overstretched forces beg foreign intel while local corruption eats the budget. This is not “challenging security.” This is the Global South predicament on full display: resource-rich, population-heavy, militarily toothless, and permanently available for exploitation in the so-called New World Order.

That “New World Order” was always Western marketing for unipolar dominance after 1991. It is dead. Russia is entrenched in the Sahel, China funds infrastructure with strings attached, the US swings between tariffs and drone strikes, and Africa’s coups prove the old rules no longer bind anyone. Multipolarity means no single cop on the beat. It means every serious player grabs what it can. Weak states become playgrounds or prey. Libya 2011 was the memo: disarm, get regime-changed, resources auctioned off. Nigeria sits on oil, gas, solid minerals, and uranium deposits mapped across the four regions (and in large commercial deposits). Without real power, we are next on the menu.

Conventional fixes have failed for fifteen years. Our 2026 defence allocation hits N3.15 trillion — Army alone takes over half — yet the military remains geared for internal policing, not deterrence. Indigenous drones, local AK-103 clones and armoured vehicles are welcome baby steps, but they do not stop great-power meddling, proxy insurgencies, or future blockades on our sea lanes. A proper national defence doctrine is overdue. It must be written now: integrated strategy covering land, sea, air, cyber, space, economic resilience, and information warfare. It must treat internal threats as symptoms of deeper sovereignty failures, not just law-and-order problems. It must prioritise self-reliance over endless foreign training contracts. Anything less keeps us as permanent clients.

And that doctrine must include nuclear weapons. Bluntly: deterrence is the only language great powers respect. India and Pakistan never signed the NPT, tested in 1998, absorbed sanctions, and today sit at the adults’ table. North Korea walked out of the NPT in 2003, built its arsenal, and survives. Israel never admits but nobody invades. These states faced worse isolation than Nigeria would. In a multipolar world where Russia and China openly court African partners, the non-proliferation police have lost their monopoly on enforcement. Sanctions hurt, but they are survivable when you control your own resources and have alternative markets.

Nigeria already has the civilian nuclear foundation. The Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission is past IAEA Phase 2 for power reactors. Uranium is in the ground. Dual-use technology is not science fiction; it is engineering and political will. Yes, enrichment and weaponisation are hard, expensive, and technically demanding. Yes, we signed the NPT and TPNW. Yes, initial international backlash would be loud. But the alternative is perpetual vulnerability — watching our borders leak fighters, our waters policed by foreigners, and our leaders negotiating from weakness while jihadists film beheadings for global recruitment. Nuclear latency or outright capability changes the conversation overnight. A single credible deterrent ends the era of treating Nigeria as Africa’s soft underbelly.

Critics will scream proliferation risk, cost, corruption. They are not wrong on the risks. A badly managed programme could leak material to the very terrorists we fight. Budgets already leak like sieves. But the status quo already costs lives and billions in ransoms, lost production, and displaced people. The money spent on foreign arms deals and mercenaries could seed a domestic strategic programme if political will exists. Corruption is a governance failure, not an excuse for strategic suicide. Fix leadership first, then weaponise the nation.

The Global South is no longer begging. BRICS expansion, South-South trade, and African Continental Free Trade Area show the direction. Nigeria, with its size, population and resources, should lead, not trail. A nuclear-armed Nigeria with a coherent defence doctrine would command respect in Abuja, not just in Davos. It would deter external regime-change fantasies, raise the price of meddling, and force neighbours and sponsors of chaos to recalculate.

The window is narrow. Multipolarity rewards the bold before new rules crystallise. Abuja must form a classified high-level commission today — military, scientists, diplomats, intelligence — to draft the doctrine and map the nuclear path. Redirect slices of the defence budget, STEM scholarships, and quiet partnerships with non-Western nuclear states. No more press releases about “modernisation.” No more begging Washington or Paris for spare parts.

This is not warmongering. It is survival arithmetic in 2026 geopolitics. The strong do what they can; the weak suffer what they must. Nigeria has been weak long enough. Develop the doctrine. Acquire the weapons. Immediately. Or accept that our future will be decided in foreign capitals and terrorist camps, not by Nigerians.

Foreign AffairsBasic Toolkits For American Invasion In The Trump Era by Uptownerd(op): 10:10am On Jan 14
Basic Toolkits for American Invasion in the Trump era
Step 1: A US senator makes a tweet about a particular region and how horrible the government there is and how the people are suffering.

Step 2: Elon Musk quotes it and magnifies the reach

Step 3: MSM jumps in and polishes the stories with their scripted similar headlines

Step 4: Local influencers are onboarded from that country and paid in cash or promised a Visa. The targets are easy, ardent Christians indoctrinated to Western values who hate their cultures.

Step 5: Invasion by the US military

Step 6: Starlink provided to show support to the local citizens which is just a military surveillance tool coated in goodwill.

Rinse, repeat... and the pattern continues.

Many Muslim terrorist groups being solely sponsored by Iran will die a natural death with time. Peace will return to MiddleEast and many terror organizations will suffer funding and support which will force members to turn a new leaf and embrace peace and life.
This person is either a CIA/MOSSAD account or a very ignorant person or have drunk too much USA kool aid

Name one terrorist group sponsored by Iran or Khamenei?
