They accused Russia of doing this, today they're doing the same.

The war hasn't even begun properly yet.

U.S Army Increases Military maximum enlistment Age To 42 (Photos)

A major update to 🇺🇸 U.S Army recruiting regulations this week raises the maximum age a recruit can join to 42, and removes a barrier to joining for recruits with a single legal conviction for marijuana or drug paraphernalia possession.

The Army’s previous limit was 35, though exceptions are occasionally made. The higher age limit brings the Army in line with other services’ limits of 41 in the Navy and 42 in the Air Force and Space Force, Kate Kuzminski, who studies military recruiting for the Center for a New American Security, told Task & Purpose.

Army recruiting officials have noted in recent years that the average age of recruits is increasing, with officials telling reporters in 2024 that the average recruit was 22 years, 4 months, and that it was still “going up.”

Kuzminski said the change has positives and negatives. According to a report she authored for the RAND Corporation, many older recruits scored higher on enlistment qualification tests than recruits who joined before 20. Those older recruits were also more likely to reenlist and be promoted than their younger peers.

However, older recruits were also less likely to graduate from basic training and had higher attrition rates.

The older enlistment cap is the latest in the military’s multi-billion-dollar overhaul of recruiting, launched after years of missed recruiting goals. The Army, the largest branch in the military, failed to meet annual recruiting goals in 2022 and 2023.


Changes in recent years to the Army’s recruiting enterprise include installing a pre-boot camp prep course for recruits who do not initially meet fitness and academic standards and creating marketing schemes to move the Army’s messaging past the post-9/11 wars and appeal to Gen Z.

They are sending food and medical aids to the people winning the war according to mairanders supporters of the evil regime.


Iran is poor unlike the US that receives support from over 40 allies.

No one ever said Iran would win, we just said Iran would make it really painful for the US.

By the way, it was you guys that boasted that the US would finish off Iran in 48 hours and they would surrender. Like Venezuela.

Even Trump boasted that it'll be quick and decisive.

Nice one...

Ally is not only guns and bombs in the battle field!


The problem is that you Nigerians do not read or research.

Russia has always sent humanitarian aids to every crisis hit part of the world. It didn't start today.

The fact that the U.S makes alot of noise about their own does not mean other countries aren't giving out aids too.

Like the popular Nigerian saying: The family that pounds yam loudly at night thinks the quiet neighbors do not eat.

Russia Sends 13 Tons Of Food Aid & Medical Supplies To Iran (Photos)

🇷🇺 Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said Thursday that it has sent 13 tons of humanitarian aid to Iran via Azerbaijan.

The ministry said in a statement that the shipment, consisting of medicines, was delivered to Azerbaijan for subsequent transfer to Iranian authorities.

The aid delivery was carried out on the orders of President Vladimir Putin, the ministry said.

“The ministry’s aviation organized the delivery of medicines to the Republic of Azerbaijan for subsequent transfer to authorized representatives of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the statement said.


Regional tensions escalated Feb. 28 when the United States and Israel launched large-scale attacks on Iran that have killed more than 1,300 people, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has responded with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel as well as Gulf countries that host US military assets.

Foreign AffairsUkraine's Population Drops From 40 Million To 20 Million People - Will Lloyd by WriterNig(op): 6:29pm On Mar 21
According to British journalist, Will Lloyd

🇺🇦 Ukraine's population has fallen to 20 million by 2025, compared with more than 40 million in 2014, said Will Lloyd, editor of the British magazine New Statesman.

“A British official told me that Ukraine's population, estimated at just over 40 million in 2014, had fallen to around 20 million by 2025, significantly lower than most publicly available estimates,“ Lloyd wrote in X.

He also noted that he first visited Ukraine in 2024 and has since witnessed Europe's waning interest in the conflict in Ukraine, with its focus shifting shifted to the Gaza Strip, Greenland, Venezuela and Iran.

“The world was in chaos, expensive ammunition for modern air defense systems was running low and needed everywhere from Kiev to Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi; Ukraine was no longer front-page news“, Lloyd stressed.


Since gaining independence in 1991, Ukraine has experienced serious demographic problems. The country has a mortality rate of three people to one newborn.

The last census in Ukraine was conducted in 2001, when the country's population was 48,457,000.
