No American president has lost re-election when at war. Economy strumming along, Trump looks likely to win in 2020. Bush did also. Food for thought.
Iran will escalate, gradually. Where ? Anywhere there are American troops, from the near to far East. Also, South America. Recall, Iranian special groups caused havoc in Basra and southern Iraq during the Iraqi occupation precipitating the transfer of power to Iraqis.
Those believing Iran is powerless miss the point; the Iran-Iraq war only lasted as long as it did because the West supported Saddam with chemical weapons tech and battlefield intelligence. Let's see how this plays out.
Btw, saw on RT a program with Prof. Michael Hudson. He made a really good point; that Trump is actually the Democrat candidate and that Democrats are trying to pick the most likely loser to Trump's candidacy. To wit, Trump has continued the neoliberal policies of Wall St, etc, increased the military budget, extending it to Space Command etc. You hear nery a squeak from Dems about that. If things go tits up, it's Trump's fault not the Dems. Think about it.....

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, said that while Soleimani was “an enemy of the United States,” the killing could put more Americans at risk.
“One reason we don’t generally (assassinate) foreign political officials is the belief that such action will get more, not less, Americans killed,” Murphy said on Twitter. “That should be our real, pressing and grave worry tonight.”

They know what Iran is capable of doing.

Nice comment. I listened to one prof from an Iranian University interview this morning on AlJazeera. He said; "I will advice all the US citizens living in middle East and Asia as a whole to leave because, Iran will definitely retaliate".

Trump has just brought in troubles for himself and the democrats will definitely use this incidence against him.

PointZerom:


Iran and US no be mate...stop chest beating.

While using the whole USA sef. Put correctly Iran and New York City no be mate!

Tell us the states.......... Name the two states then will check their areas and know you have something in the grey matter in your head.......


Persons will just come here and type even in mattes they know nothing about just because you want to talk

Alaska is bigger than Iran

Resurgent2016:


If your attempting to compare US and Iran militarily, then you clearly know very little of each country's military might. Iran may probably be compared to Israel, but even Iran won't go near Israel because Israel will shoot before it aims.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN1VF0CA

Israel has been slaughtering Iranian military guys in Syria for over a year now with Iran not even mentioning retaliation because that will prompt more aggression from israel. And guess what, Israel has been doing this a preemptive measure, Iran has even killed a single Israeli.

Meanwhile Iran had the guts to use its proxy to launch an attack on an american military base killing. Iran is lucky US is a country with systems and controls, where every action is carefully weighed and examined before execution, else it will have been levelled by now.

In the event of a conflict, even Russia and China will keep their heads far away. None of them will dear confront the US. They will just keep encouraging Iran to receive more beating.

The only thing that kept Saddam from invading the likes of Iran and other States in the middle east was the west. You need to go read the iraq-iran wars.

Iran is only still standing as a country because the us has lost its appetite for engaging in conflict within the middle east

LOL. Bros you funny.. I laughed my aas off at that point where your said both Russia and China will keep encouraging Iran to receive more beating.. Lol

OZAOEKPE:

Most Muslim just comment like an average terrorist, even their Saudi is backing the USA. They just pained for nothing

and u are a full time terrorist.

Olominira:
More crises for Trump and an average American. This is unnecessary. Trump is committing a huge mistake by canceling the initial agreement reached with Iran.

Firstly, US can't even manage the ongoing crises she created in the past with Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya and others. Who's advising Trump? Crises in Libya is still a crisis in some parts of Europe. Germany already has millions of refugees from Syria. These are countries of smaller populations yet you seriously want to destabilize another country of 70-80 million people all at once.

The entire America with Europe would have a serious impact if Iran is set into crises. In fact, the entire world feel this impact because by the time 40 percent of oil output is cut off due to total blockage of Strait of Hormuz. The global market would respond immediately. This is not a wise choice. Even in Nigeria, a litre of petrol may go as far as N500

Nothing will happen,iran cannot do sh!t.

CORRECTION!
Never touch a white American, there's a difference.

Come back to Africa if America is that bad to blacks

The F-35 is a 5th gen fighter. Some countries are already in the 6th gen. There's so much hype on the F-35 because it was going to be a fighter to end all fighters, but the development took too long and in the end, when its deployment was completed, there were already many systems available to circumvent it. I've not been reading a wrong piece, I get first-hand information. I may or may not be a military strategist. I may not know better than the US, but I'm sure they themselves already know that the future of warfare isn't in the air. The US has the highest military budget, but do you know a bulk of that budget is expended in servicing their military bases around the world? War with Iran will degree to a world war, that's why the US Congress is already condemning the strike. Right now, Russia is only sitting on the sidelines, they didn't play a heavy role in Syria. Of course countries will buy US weapons. If you're an ally of the US they won't allow you buy from other countries.

You don't see to appreciate the strong nexus that exist between civilian and military technologies, that the west doesn't project power by weapons testing/parade the way the eastern countries do, doesn't mean they aren't working on weapons.

And even if they aren't, once they get into war mode, the advanced civilian technologies and industrial capacity they have is what they'll distill into military Warcraft. The East is still far behind in these technologies and that is partly why trump has been taking a swing at Chinese tech companies because they are bridging the gap

America and it allies are the real terrorists, they deliberately start wars on Muslim soils to kill thousands of Muslims and provoke Islamic terrorism, they then go around the world defending their actions with bad lies.

Where are the nuclear weapons we were told exist in Iraq that made them to invade and remove Saddam Hussein and killed millions of Muslims?

Trapping:


But I'm somehow happy that US took this action. For months now iran has been running gaga and abusing US. the ball now is in their court to prove their military might.

A deal that gave an enemy nation billion of dollars in cash is a very stupid and moronic deal.

Trump is not as dumb as you

MurderX:
When it comes to war, no nation is an easy win. Wars are more about economic, political and religous interests of the other countries that you think are spectators. Russia, China and the Arab nations will surely have interests in a war between Iran and the US.

You people mentioning China are lacking sense.

So China will fight the US because of Islamic Iran,
The only country China can fight for or protects is North Korea, that's because they're so close to China, defeating North Korea in a war is like invading China.

China is not ready for war unless they bring it to their door step.
China would rather invade Taiwan than going to fight for a poor Islamic State

awoo47:
iran is unapologetic. There main goal is to destroy israel. They say dis openly. Nd Obama went to pay them $200bn to keep nuclear activities under control. It's d same money they use to fund terrorist attacks.

Shut up,it's $150bn dollars and it's irans monies that where frozen during sanctions,it was given to them as part of the nuclear agreement.
That agreement was working perfectly well before Trump cancelled it.

Iran was also complying with the whole thing as inspectors from the UN where coming from time to time to inspect their facilities to prevent further enrichment of uranium.

U guys will just sit down somewhere under oshodi Bridge to type nonsense on nairaland.

Try Trumph and end in hell..what else is the old man looking rather than to help in stabilize the world of his time. Is it money or fame ? He got it already ,let his haters go and hang if they like . His offence is that no major world powers can control him because he does not need their money for anything .Carry go Baba ,we are really praying for you .

LOL.. Is America has a hundred problem, Iran isn't one of them

Ok it's about to be the US number one problem. Just watch and see.

If you have never worked in intelligence and security then your comments mean little... Death of this guy is a big plus to many Middle Eastern countries and Sunni dominated countries enlarge... Nigeria is very much relieved now with the death of this guy, because he is orchestrator of Iran's proxies war across the world...

Try working in counterintelligence operations of any kind civilian or military and feel the intensity that comes with checking mating guys like Suleiman...

Those agents that were executed in Iran and other nations could have been exchanged and imprisoned but the Iranians chose to execute them to show a false sense of power... Russia can't do what the Iranians did..

This guy death was a collaborative efforts of Israel, saudi, UAE, Kuwait and other Sunni State...
Do you guys think it's easy to liquidate a military leader of this status? It was just a matter time and I am very pleased with this news...

Rest in peace to all those personnel lost in the line of duty

Any which way, Donald Trump will win both the war & elections in November. The alternative cannot even be contemplated. America must never fall into the hands of democrats ever again.

He's looking for votes and he knew quite well that war abroad, aka invasion always give US citizens erections. Give them war, telling them that one or two countries are planning to terrorise them, and boom.

Obama's sell out deal. Billions of $$$ in raw cash plus release of hardened criminals to a rogue terror-sponsoring country. America under Obama for another 4years would have been reduced to a third world country, controlled by Iran, North Korea, Russia and the Muslim world. Long live President Donald J Trump.

Olominira:

It's Trump that caused that when he canceled the agreement. The worst part is that Trump did it unilaterally. The entire EU opposed it. An average Iranian would hate anything American today because at the moment, their currency is nothing due to several sanctions. Their entire economy is down. Trump even ordered UK to seize Iranian oil ship despite the fact that Iran is not part of EU, and wasn't heading to Europe. Trump needs to understand that we are all humans and his hatred towards anything non-white should be minimized.

USA will wipe Iran out of the face of the earth in less than 24 hrs....

Your statement that the last set of Christians that were ANNIHILATED by Boko Haram was in response to American strike (on ISIS leader) and that it is Allah that is fighting for you (Muslims), obviously implies that you support the action of Boko Haram. Or do you feel I misquoted you?

mysticwarrior:
war is not about size and population, China is 60 times bigger than Japan but yet Japan succeeded in invading and occupying China 1937 - 1945.

Finland is a small country and it defeated the soviet union which happens to be the largest nation on earth, this happen in the winter war of 1939 - 1940.

Japan did not defeat the entire China, China was fighting a civil war then the Japanese took that advantage and invade some parts of China which the Chinese resolved their differences and faught the Japanese off.

I never heard Finland faught the Soviet Union not to talk of defeating the USSR in a war.

I PRAY THE IRAN DO NOT REPEL THE ATTACK BECAUSE DEM GO SUFFER.

Trapping:

America is one of the biggest terrorist in the world and always playing the victim. America has always terrorized her own citizens and have the nerve to call Muslims terrorist.

Here is what will happen Iran will step up it's targeting operations abroad... From Europe to America and they will try hurt Israel the most... They will step up attacks from Yemen on Saudi Arab... They will step up patrol on the Strait of hamouz setting them on course to clash with the international patrol force set up by international countries to protect their oil cargo..

We might see a normalizing of relationship with Russia, yes with Russia! The reason is because they have been under the radar accusation and finger pointing by iran that Russia is refusing to sell S400 missile defence system due to their close relationship with Israel... Which will be a game changer with the war with Israel..

The Iranians know Israel is protected by the two most powerful nations Russia and USA.. It just that Russia uses Arab nations as a test run for it's weapons against Israel which is a backed by ameircas tech..

Secondly any civilian target by iran target officers on American soil or any western soil will result to total extermination of the intelligence target officers network that have none official cover and expulsion of intelligence officers with official cover

You guys are so confident. But if Iran retaliate in one way or the other, will you guys apologise here? No, it's not in an average Nigerian to do that. Lol. Instead, you will be telling us that Iran made a mistake and would pay for it. We're revisiting this comments in future.

Donald Trump may want to go to war with iran to avoid the continuous process of his removal by the senate, Clinton also used that move

democrats are even afraid to go to the senate to present the article of impeachment...

is that why trump us iran military to bomb saudi?

is that why trump told iran militia to bomb US base and kill US workers?

how is that Trump fault?

Iran is angry Trump blocked free obama money...and they r trying to bully him into regret....they forgot Trump no get joy
