Those who want to keep dreaming of north Korean troops are free to do so. Those who want to focus on facts are encouraged to do so. Perhaps I should make my own science fiction: "martian troops being sent to the front line". 1 Like 1 Share |

Even Egypt that was there when God said "let there be light" is still struggling to be the largest GDP in Africa. US that is less than 500 years old is holding all of them by the balls. 1 Like |

obedience4:Trump has announced tarrif pause. ![]() ![]() Trump is a coward that will back down. Once is ego Is down. He will back down. Trump doesn't know anything about tarrif, what is it and who pays them. That's why he will announce tarrif today and pause or cancel it tomorrow. He doesn't know anything. He is dog that back but it can't bite. He will soon withdraw, pause or cancel his tarrifs on china. He did it in 2018 when he started his first trade war with China. He will do it again. 3 Likes |

23jerryking: Only a madman will think The "mighty" XI will risk its citizens and economic growth for some religious fanatic Persians miles away.. The only country XI will risk military intervention is North Korea, just because of the proximity, China doesn't want North Korean refugees on his territory.. and North Korea serves as the Chinese counterweight to the US ally South Korea. What exactly does China have to gain intervening in a military confrontation on behalf of Iran..absolutely nothing.. |

23jerryking:. No body is even talking of China using military means to shield Iran. All we are saying is it's high time Russia and China challenged US unilateralism I believe US is not the only country in the UN security council.. Kosovo, Iraq, Libya now Iran is next. Until they challenge this US will continue to see them as weaklings bask in its own ego. US unilateralism is a slap on other UN members and this has gone unchallenged for decades. 5 Likes |

⚡China on Wednesday rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s claim that many Chinese citizens were fighting for Russia, calling it “absolutely groundless”. Zelensky said Tuesday that Kyiv had captured two Chinese citizens fighting alongside Russian forces, and that there was evidence “many more Chinese citizens” were fighting with Moscow. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian told a press conference it was “absolutely groundless” to suggest many Chinese citizens were fighting in Ukraine. “The Chinese government has always asked its citizens to stay away from areas of armed conflict (and) avoid involvement in armed conflicts in any form,” he said. He added that Beijing was verifying relevant information with Kyiv. |

sainttwist1: On a scale that starts from 0 (“Israel may have nuclear weapons”) and ends with 10 (“Israel definitely has nuclear weapons" ![]() Everyone, including the United States, agrees that Israel has nukes. Israel itself has always hinted at such. Sometime around 2023, during this ongoing Gaza genocide, an Israeli minister even made remarks about using nukes on Gaza. So “allegedly” is a very loose word here. Israel “most likely has nukes” would be better. But, even if Israel doesn’t have nukes, Israel is clearly under the American/British/French nuclear umbrella. Iran, for its part, is not under any nuclear umbrella. The US or Israel can nuke Israel today and nothing will happen. But they will not dare that with North Korea. As for North Korea, I hope you realize that the Korean war is still ongoing? North and South Korea never signed any formal agreement to end the war. All they had was a ceasefire and both continue to militarize and claim ownership of the other. The north says it owns the south. The south says it owns the north. The situation there is volatile and a war can break out anytime. About the Iranian mullahs, you should read up Iran’s history to understand how they got in in the first place. The whole thing was started by the US and Britain who sponsored coups and assassinations to remove democratically-elected Iranian leaders and replace them with a monarch just so they can access Iran’s oil fields. It was these coups and monarchical dictatorship that led to the revolution that ended the monarchy and brought in the democrats and religionists that rule Iran today. Believe it or not, the current Ayatollah himself was a former democratically-elected president and was on the democrats side but moved to the religionists side after the sudden death of the first Ayatollah. The current Ayatollah was president when he was selected to become the Ayatollah and depending on how you count, was both the democratically-elected president and the Ayatollah at the same time. So, saying no one threatened to attack Iran before the mullahs got in, is a very weird point. Iran was an ally of the US before the revolution that brought in the mullahs. And let us not forget that the US once sponsored and backed a war against Iran right after the revolution. (The Iran-Iraq war) Lastly, you said “If Iran Nuke any country.......hope you know there will be retaliation.” That is true. Very true. And it is the very reason why Iran or any nuclear power will never nuke any other country. They know there will be retaliation. That is why it is called “Mutually Assured Destruction.” With that said, let me ask you, what happens if Israel or the US or France or Britain nukes Iran? Would there be retaliation? The answer is no. and that right there is why Iran must get those nukes. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Kingsnairaland: Dont mind Iran, their problem is too much strict religious rules, this will be their undoing. Iran values independence, so It won’t let Russia or China build military bases there because it doesn’t want to rely on foreign powers. Instead, they prefer to use proxies and missiles for protection. I pity Iran If they don't test nuclear bomb soon 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Several reports have emerged that show that a US Military C-17 aircraft landed in Afghanistan’s Bagram Airbase this week. The C-17 offloaded military equipment and senior intelligence officials, including the CIA deputy chief. The Taliban have denied reports that they have handed over the Bagram airbase to the United States. This comes amid Trump’s claims of wanting to retake the Bagram airbase as it remains a strategic airstrip to counter China and Iran. Trump said he wants to send troops to Afghanistan after the Taliban took control of the airbase in 2021, after the US military exited Afghanistan. |

Lawag3: Why are you insulting me? Did I insult you? Lawag3: It is your father who is a fool. Lawag3: It goes both ways. Israel too has repeatedly called for the destruction of Iran. And unlike Iran whose threats do not go beyond mullahs screaming on television screens and funding resistance groups standing up to Israel, Israel is actively working on destroying Iran, and is even itching for a direct war spearheaded by the US. Israel played active roles in the destruction of Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq. Netanyahu himself openly called for the invasion of Iraq before the 2003 war. He also handed weapons to any rebel group willing to topple Assad during the Syrian civil war. Iran watched all that happen and it knows very well what Israel can do. After the fall of Syria, Nethanyahu had a live message where he called for Iranians to rise up against their leaders. (Nethanyahu used a bit of diplomacy in his speech but his message was clear.) Lawag3: Israel also calls Jerusalem “Zion,” so I wonder what point you are trying to make here. Religions and ethnic groups will often rename territories after capture and conquest. So it is quite normal that each side would call it whatever name it wants. Israel too, for its part, has renamed many Palestinian territories. Lawag3: Again, I struggle to see what point you are trying to make here. The US and Israel also call Iran, along with North Korea and Iraq, the “Axis of Evil.” The US also refers to Iran and multiple other countries as "Outposts of tyranny" while Nethanyahu himself as called Iran a "rogue state." This is just name calling and an attempt to ridicule and delegitimize the enemy. Both sides do it. But somehow, you are okay with it when Israel and the US do it, but it suddenly becomes bad when Iran does it ![]() Lawag3: That is false. Iran has always been clear about Israel being an illegitimate state occupying the territory of another state. It is not about jihad or conquest as you claim. Israel’s legitimacy itself has always been in question. It even has its own Wikipedia page: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legitimacy_of_the_State_of_Israel Is there any other country in the world whose legitimacy is questioned? Nope. Only Israel.
