It didn't work for our forefathers to stop the colonizers, it didn't work to stop or punish the political thieves who are wrecking our economy, it didn't work to improve security and stop banditry/kidnappings, infact it didn't work to make Africa better in any tangible way whatsoever.

Regex: I understand you bro but then, they have a rough idea of what iran has. Atleast they know her airforce is not as superb as their own and bro, air is the real battle and game changer in modern warfare. Imagine one of the russian kahnzar missiles going 500km/700km....that is like being in Lagos and destroying PH. It's really crazy bro. Your enemy is soo far off that you can't even see him face to face to fight but already destroyed you far off from Lagos. 8 Likes 1 Share |

olugabbie: Isreal has the capacity to invade bro. They have taken a chunk of syria, egypt was not spared before isreal was begged to return back sinai peninsula. Isreal will invade any country around her with the backing of US bro. And iran can be defeated if her air force is not strong....air is the war bro Gardaffi will still be alive if the fighting was just ground battle but libya space was closed-off from him. He couldn't use his airforce because all his planes, run ways for take-offs of military jets were closed and any attempt to fly would be blown. And if you can't fly, they will keep pounding you to pieces while you can't even use your jet to go buy weapons or transfer weapons from one point to another. Critical infrastructures would be blown off - power plants throwing the country into darkness, water works and dams to render the country on stand still, telecommunication facilities to throw the whole country out of calls and data while they pound it to ancient ages without evidence to upload on internet, bridges would be blown off to stop military movements and weapon logistics, airport and sea ports would be blown off to render you useless taking weapons through sea or air likewise food for your people. They will crumble you in everywhere...economically, militarily etc everywhere that after finishing with you, it will take ages before you can come back to your initial point e.g Libya bro, these guys are very very brutal and wicked. The evidences are just too much that it is hard defending them honestly 3 Likes |

lanre316: I read that part pretty well and I appreciate that you are willing to admit that the West goofed. But I still maintain that religion and Arab culture are weak factors in the greater scheme of things. Saudi Arabia, Qarar, and the rest take religion just as seriously as the other regions. In fact, for the most part of the 20th century, Iran and Afghanistan were heavily westernized. Their women wore mini skirts and danced in beaches unlike in the gulf states until the West started interfering. Were the Taliban and Al Qaeda members not in living Afghanistan before this period? They were, but they had no power until someone paved way for them Every society has monsters living among it and you only need to create the right conditions (anarchy, wars, etc) for them to rise and cause havoc with or without religion. They are using religion because everyone needs something to hang onto to justify his madness. Hitler didn't say he wanted to kill all Jews because he simply hate them. He cooked up excuses. The brainwashed foot soldiers might believe they are doing it for Allah or whoever, but their leaders know what's up. The other areas you are talking about have not seen too much post-war violence because the West didn't do enough. In Southeast Asia and America, they directly intervened against North Korea, Vietnam, and others. They didnt arm one country against the other and in situations where they did (North Korea and South Korea), there's conflict similar to what we see in thr Middle East. But they toppled too many regimes and armed different terrorists disguising as rebels multiple times to take out governments they don't like. They've bombed too many regions and favored certain sides in a conflict that needed sincere mediation from unbiased third parties. The people that love to sanction others for human rights played dumb for decades as Israel continuously escorted settlers with soldiers to seize homes from territories that had been designated for Palestinians by the United Nations. They don't care that these people were being murdered daily but one reaction (Oct 7) and they were all over the news portraying Palestinians as violent muslims that want nothing but the end of Israel. Look at how they are threatening Iran now while totally overlooking Israel's actions. How can any place on earth face these wide array of issues and not be on fire? If you took out the oil in the middle East and moved it to Southern Africa and then let's say miraculously, those African leaders are not corrupt, You'll end up seeing different terrorist groups made of bloodthirsty Africans forming there. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

emmaodet: You have to look at something, everyone believed the USA to be superpower until time tested them in Afghanistan and Yemen(recently). You never know how powerful Iran's air defense is until it goes to war. Remember they built the drones pounding Ukraine now. No one knows the deal Iran made with Russia when it transferred the drone making technology to Russia. That the west couldn't decipher it is giving them sleepless night and they are itching to know. Just keep calm and watch. Iran survived sanctions, seized USA ships and nothing happened. They will pound Israel eh... Look at how Israel is messing up in Gaza... Bro no fear. 4 Likes 1 Share |

FoolishBoy419: Who wrote history books? Who decides what is considered "current affairs"? Who controls the news? When you watch the news, do you see images of videos of US, UK and French white men planning to kill or overthrow foreign governments? No. But you have seen more than enough photos and videos of African and Muslim countries threatening the US, British and French governments. You have seen videos of frustrated Africans and Muslims screaming "Death to America" and burning the American flag or French flag. It's all about perception. That is, what the public is made to believe. We only know what we are told. Now, those responsible for telling us decides what we are told and how we are told it happened. Take the case of that Chinese balloon or that of North Korea launching rockets. North Korea has launched a lot of satellites but they never talk about it. Instead, the entire focus is on their nuclear program and missile tests. Take another example, a month or so ago, there was a topic on frontpage where a group of Egyptian boys raped a lady in some European country. How was the news reported: "Pack of Arab boys rape...". Only wolves travel in pack but it was used for the boys because the news was intended to present the boys, along with Arabs and Muslims, as mad savages that hunt and kill, just like wolves. Have they ever used "pack" for white rapists? No. What about when some random dude stabs someone? If he's Muslim, they add "Muslim" to the headline, irrespective of whether he did it in the name of Islam. But once he's a non-Muslim, there no reference to his religion and he is just called a stabber. Have you also read Ghanaian newspapers? A typical headline goes: 19 people, including three Nigerians, kill man during robbery. 4 Nigerians arrested for peddling drugs. 75 men, including one Nigerian, arrested for gang rape. They will always reference Nigeria, why? It is to shape public perception and create anti-Nigerian sentiment within the populace. Even when the majority of the criminals are Ghanaian or the victim of the crime is a Nigerian, in so far as a Nigerian was among the attacker, they will mention it. Even here on the homefront, do you notice that Boko Haram rarely makes the news these days? It's because the media has decided to speak less about it. If they decide to focus on Boko Haram news again, we will return to hearing of BH's never-ending exploits and we begin to once again wonder whether we have a government in this country. Now, who decides whether Boko Haram news is told or not told? Those are the people that control your mind. And it's more complex in the US. They don't just stop at the news. What about Hollywood? African countries are always at war. Their streets are dirty, brown, and muddy; their people are poor, dirty, miserable, malnourished, and always wear faded or torn clothes. And ow, we never have large, clean cities unless it's fictional ones like Wakanda. Meanwhile, Russians are always the bad guys, Muslims are terrorists, and the American man is a hero. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

FoolishBoy419: The united nation will collapse sooner or later due to the mistakes the previous association made - The league of Nations. When an association favors one part than the other, it is no miracle that it will collapse. When the same stick that is been used on iran, north korea, russia, china is not been used against US, isreal, UK etc then resentment will grow because you have created a system to cheat and estort others and sooner than later, such a group will collapse. An association that is always sleeping and snoring while isreal takes other peoples land, chase them away or just flatten them looks the other way when another country's embassy is been bombed but becomes awake and alert with sanctions when the other retaliates is an association on borrowed time.It will collapse. 11 Likes 5 Shares |

lanre316: Nigeria is not a serious country and should never have been a country, so she is not in the WhatsApp group of countries who know what to do with their "witches and wizards" for technological advancements. The Americans call their alien technology. For you to think the supernatural isn't involved in making of top rank weapons is funny though. Don't let me say more than this. (Read books, watch movies and try to understand the messages they're passing.). Even the book of Enoch attested to the fact that demons (fallen Angels) taught humans how to make weapons. The same demons slept with humans. (Passed part of their being into humanity) |

Procashtips: That Russia is holding on to its comparative advantages in not selling more advanced tech to Iran. And that Iran can easily build systems of comparable quality. Iran has obvious blind spots that need to be corrected yesterday and the only immediate solutions are in Russia and China. Russia has sold the S-400 to Turkey. That two-faced, slimy worm that I'm sure has promptly delivered the schematics to NATO engineers. Russia has offered its 5th-gen Su-57 to India. Iran should have all the S-400 systems and Su-35 jets it needs at friends-and-family rate. Russia traditionally will flood allies with current-gen weaponry and reserve cutting-edge, next-gen weaponry for its own needs and favored partners. Iran should be getting that treatment, regardless of what their indigenous development plans are. -Lord 3 Likes 1 Share |

LordAdam16: I never said Iran can build comparative weapons that Russia has advantages in or can you point that out in my write up? I said they should build theirs too, but Russia got the comparative advantage. Now why do you think Iran is not getting these offensive and anti defensive weapons from friends of interest even as their security is getting more threatened? |

Procashtips: I don't ascribe anything malicious to the delay. It appears to me that Axis Powers were content with coasting and building alliances at a leisurely pace until it became apparent that the West was serious about forcing a confrontation. That took them unawares. That's water under the bridge now. But I do hope both parties--Russia and China on one hand and Iran on the other--pick up valuable lessons from this ordeal. -Lord 1 Like |
