You guys think America is stupid like Nigeria, treating terrorists with kid's glove. The best form of defence is attack, not even when the man had even killed many Americans and never hid his hatred for the country.

This is your Suleimani boasting below, before he got cleaned out. Nonsense.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03JezGLy5qA
So boasting is now a crime that warrants assassination, in that case Kim Jong un should have been assassinated long ago. What of Kanu that promises to destroy the zoo and bring Buhari's head on a plate? Maybe python dance is too mild, Maybe Buhari should have bombed his house with his family and dog in it.

From the video, you see his main grouse was against trump for pulling out of the nuclear agreement and various threats against Iranian leaders. Did he order or encourage anyone to attack the US? Did he lie when he talked about Afghanistan? Is the USA not still fighting the Taliban (a small inequipped militia group ) with over 100,000 troops and still unable to defeat them?

I am not holding forth for Iran, and I am definitely not supporting the Shias and all their destabilising activities, my problem is the use of assassinations and gra gra being employed by Trump. It will exasperate and complicate issues.

Have you read the JCPOA? You guys just swallow whatever Trump shits out of his ass.

This is the agreement - https://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/world/full-text-of-the-iran-nuclear-deal/1651/

I hope you can read it and comprehend it. This is an agreement signed by five of the most advanced countries of the world with participation of the UN. It smacks of arrogance to think you are wiser than all the people involved in this agreement.

What exactly are you arguing, are you saying it wasn't Soleimani's militia that attacked the the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad? if that's what you are saying, then you are either being dishonest or you've not been following the news at all. That they carried out the attack is not in dispute by anyone, not even by the Iranians. And you're already trying to move the goalposts by talking of heavy weaponry, did anybody claim they attacked the embassy with heavy weaponry? At least you admit the attack on Saudi oil fields, another Iranian provocative action just like the attack on ships in the strait of Hormuz and the attacks on the compound housing American citizens. Stop trying to paint Iran as a victim here, they have been looking for trouble and they got exactly what they were looking for.
Why is it so hard for you to show any proof that the so called attack on the US embassy was carried out by Quds Force led by Soleimani.
The CNN report says the attack, which is actually a violent protest was carried out by The Popular Mobilization Forces, which is an umbrella name for some 40 militias that are mostly Shia Muslim groups, but also include Sunni Muslim, Christian, and Yazidi groups - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popular_Mobilization_Forces

My argument is that if it was the well equipped Quds Force led by Soleimani that attacked the US embassy, they would not be using fire bombs and heavy logs to try and breach the walls and doors. They have powerful missiles and sophisticated guns.

As I sad only a tiny section of the embassy was attacked. The embassy is over 100 acres and the embassy staffs were never evacuated from the embassy.

Here is the cnn report of the so called attack -

There are videos of his militia leaders leading the assault on the embassy, most of them have either been killed or arrested. this argument is mute, no one, not even the Iranians are disputing the fact that his militia forces attacked the the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
I have been waiting for the videos showing Soleimani's men attacking the US embassy in Baghdad. I hope you will not show the video of a small number of protesters protesting (sometimes violently) in a small corner of the US embassy and writing "we are Soleimani's supporters" on a wall.
The embassy is on 100 acres - the size of Vatican City. The embassy was not attacked with heavy weaponry, like the type of missiles used to attack Saudi oil refinery a few weeks back.

Iraq’s prime minister says Soleimani arrived in Iraq to deliver a response to the Iraqis from Iran about a Saudi offer to de-escalate tensions. They was supposed to meet. - https://mobile.twitter.com/hxhassan/status/1213830321478737921

This means Soleimani was in Iraq at the request of the Saudis to discuss de-escalation of the region and not to plan imminent attacks on US troops and embassy as said by Trump and Pompeo.
It would make Saudi Arabia look complicit in the assassination.

Why not organize preaching in your private room or church and the invite people who want to hear your nonsense. A classroom is a place for learning and not for religious activities.

The media is just sick. Hating Trump over someone who
- Organized Benghazi
- Mined at least 6 oil tankers
- Brought down an American drone
-Repeatedly fired mortar shells at US based
- Raided US Baghdad embassy
- Killed over 600 hundred Americans in Iraq.
- the Benghazi US embassy attack was carried out by members of the Islamic militant group Ansar al-Sharia , a Sunni groups - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Benghazi_attack
Sunnis and shites don't see eye to eye.

Yes oil tankers were attacked by Iran in the gulf of Hormuz, but we're any of them US tankers? Besides how come you are holding only one man responsible for an action carried out by the Iranian government?

- The drone was violating Iranian airspace. Do you want the Iranians to the escorting US surveillance drones spying on their territory?

- You have evidence that General Soleimani ordered the attack on US embassy in Baghdad? Or you ascribe all actions carried out by any member of the Quds Force to Soleimani?

How many Iranian and Iraqi citizens has US troops on the orders of their Generals killed over the decades? Are you insinusting that it's fair game for Iraqis and Iranians to bomb US Generals and citizens wherever they may be in the world, even in allied countries, without informing them?

We judgemental atheists accuse both christians (mostly pentecostals ) and muslims of intolerance. We further accuse muslims of being violent in addition to intolerant.

Let me add; that muslims used to be very tolerant people. When growing up, at one time my best friend was a Muslim. When growing up we never had any disagreements, his father who was a very prominent alfa in Lagos, took me like a son, even though I was a Christian.
I spent 2 years in sokoto, and had the best time of my life. My Muslim friends never attempted to impose sharia on we non muslims on us. So I am annoyed that muslims in general have become ultra intolerant and violent.

It is a matter common sense to know that any policy, rules or regulations that is inconsistent with the provisions of the constitution will be deemed to its extent of inconsistencies null and void. That is the reason why the attorney of the company had to apologize having realized their mistakes in the matter. Stop forming too know.

I hereby put to you that you are either ignorant if you are not aware of the above, or you are real the terrorist if you are aware but just decided to attack someone is totally oblivious of your existence because of the flame of religious intolerance which has totally consumed the you and your Paul believing crew.
When it suits you, you shout constitution. When you impose sharia in a country with secular construction you forget constitution is supreme.

Why are you guys not trooping en mass to Islamic countries with sharia law, but instead you troop to the US and Europe, predominantly Christian countries and claim fundamental religious rights. Can I claim religious rights in Saudi Arabia or even zamfara?

I don't know why such topics are on front page. No country on earth is a match to the USA in an open war even Russia. U are talking about a country with a navy bigger than the next 5 biggest navy nations, the country with d biggest Airforce. A country who spends over a billion dollars every 24hrs on its military since 9/11. Trump would have full veto powers in a time of war dats what he wants Iran is only using demslves as d scape goats.
The biggest navy, airforce and trillions of dollars did not win them the Vietnam war, the Korean war and the Afghan war. All the wars they won was fought with allies against a poorly organized and not determined foe.
Iran can obviously not fight a conventional war with the US, but Iran is master of unconventional or asymmetrical war. This has been shown in the hezbollah wars and the Houthi war. Iran would just be hitting taegets of US and it's allies and run. The US will retaliate back by hitting targets inside Iran. This can go on for decades. The US cannot invade and capture Iran easily. It will come at tremendous costs in terms of casualties and costs. The US can't take high casualties.

There are Chadian forces in Nigeria and Nigerians forces in Chad. The Boko Haram fighters operate from Chad. The carry out attacks in Nigeria and run back to Chad through the lake Chad region. Our troops in pursuit was always required to turn back at the Nigerian Chad border.
With the arrangement, the Nigerian troops did not need to turn back at the border and the Chadian troops need not turn back at the border too.

And you believe that Soleimani would order the attack on US embassy and then order his supporters to write boldly write on the US embassy walls "Qassam Soleimani ordered the attack on US embassy" or "we are supporters of Qassam Soleimani" if you believe that then you will believe Trump would order his supporters to carry a placard reading " I withheld aid to Ukraine to help my 2020 re-election" on the senate floor during the impeachment trial.

He was plotting to kill more Americans.

Yes he deserves to be dead. If you’re lamenting his death, you are a terrorist supporting idiot.

Soleimani caused Hurricane Karina.
Soleimani caused Hurricane Maria.
Soleimani caused the 2018's Camp Fire.
Soleimani caused the 2014 california earthquake.

The same Soleimani that was a US ally during the early days of the Afghan war.

Extinction of a single specie can create an inbalance in the eco system leading to more extinctions.

A good example is the dodo. The extinction of the dodo is leading to an extinction of a certain tree which will lead to extinction of animals that depends on the tree.
Read the report here;
Recently a scientist noticed that a certain species of tree was becoming quite rare on Mauritius. In fact, he noticed that all 13 of the remaining trees of this species were about 300 years old. No new trees had germinated since the late 1600s.

Since the average life span of this tree was about 300 years, the last members of the species were extremely old. They would soon die, and the species would be extinct. Was it just a coincidence that the tree had stopped reproducing 300 years ago and that the dodo bird had become extinct 300 years ago? No.

It turns out that the dodo bird ate the fruit of this tree, and it was only by passing through the dodo’s digestive system that the seeds became active and could grow. Now, more than 300 years after one species became extinct, another was to follow as a direct consequence. Will more follow?

Where women are locked up for not wearing their head covering and where gay people get tossed from the roof? Not to mention if you dare protest, you can get killed as 1500 Iranian folks were killed a month ago by Soleimani and his crew? That’s what a real terrorist regime looks like, not all these malaria fever induced dreams of Orange Man Bad that liberals have all the time
And how is that different from the Saudi regime, that kills assassinates critics in foreign countries. What they do to gays, women and critics inside Saudi Arabia is better left to the imagination.

If you remove snakes from the eco system, rats and other vermins would multiply, resulting in more deaths. Diseases caused by rats causes far more deaths than snakes. Snakes hardly attack humans, except in rare cases. Most snake bite is by mistake as snakes have very poor eye sight.

I have heard Cobras and mambas live in a family house (usually rat infested) for months without anyone noticing.

President Clinton orders air attack on Iraq

On December 16, 1998, President Bill Clinton announces he has ordered air strikes against Iraq because it refused to cooperate with United Nations (U.N.) weapons inspectors. Clinton’s decision did not have the support of key members of Congress, who accused Clinton of using the air strikes to direct attention away from ongoing impeachment proceedings against him. Just the day before, the House of Representatives had issued a report accusing Clinton of committing “high crimes and misdemeanors” related to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, in which Clinton had–and then lied about–an illicit sexual liaison with an intern in the Oval Office.

Sorry to say but you are ignorant of international politics.
Both Ruhollah Khomeini and Donald Trump need a war or at least an escalation of conflict to preserve their regimes. Trump is facing a removal as a result of impeachment and falling popularity by independents and Democrats. His republican support base is never beyond 45% in polls.
Ruhollah Khomeini is facing backlash at home because of biting economic problems as a result of sanctions by Trump. He also needs a war to divert attentions.

A limited conflict would benefit both Trump and Khomeini.
Trump killed the a very important Iranian official on Iraqi soil without informing congress. Iraq (a US ally) would also see the this as an aggression. The situation could escalate very quickly and drag the US into another war. This time the US will be going into a war with Iran without its traditional allies.

One positive to Nigeria. Crude will most likely increase to close to $100 within a month or so. If that will lead to better lives for Nigerians is anyone's guess.
