Only if he knew what Iran military is made up

You are naive for saying this. The US will finish off their whole army in 72 hours

Trump is a no nonsense lion. But he needs to explore all options before opting for war.

chineloSA:


America have not invaded the Venezuela because Russia sent it's troops to set it's bases should America try anything.

They have only been able to abuse them economically. But America dare not start anything in Venezuela.

If there was no Russia they could have started their shit like they did in Lybia.

Russia is the only country that can fully stand the USA today in war terms.

Ibrahimmrfish:

Is either you are a kid or totally ignorant.I remember 2006 like it was yesterday.Hizbollah totally defeated Israel in that war and if your brain can not process that,then try using Google,all the information you need is in it .Stop displaying your ignorance in public.

Oga, when did Hezbollah defeat Israel?
What rubbish are you saying?
If they had those capabilities, they would have destroyed Israel!
All they do is transborder attacks and hiding behind the civilians when Israel attacks.
In 2005/2006 Hezbollah kidnapped 2 Israeli soldiers...
What happened?
Israel crippled Lebanon, bombed them 2 smithereens just because if those 2 soldiers.
Hezbollah?!
Orishirishi!

PerfectlyPerfect:

Spot on. The US are just flexing muscles as they always do. I learnt Iran are looking to purchase some S400 Air Defence systems from Russia. If the deal pulls through, an air attack on Iran will be too expensive for the US as they're going to lose heavily to the almighty S400. Their only option would be a ground attack, for which the Iranians are already well-prepared for. I'm sure Trump already knows this, which is why he's stalling.

Have you fired a gun before?
Arm-chair analysis.

lloyds:


Russia is the only country that can fully stand the USA today in war terms.

Exactly. Russia and China. Don't underestimate China.

Both will not fold hands and look at Iran.

America has not been able to deal with North Korea because of China and Russia. North Korea has a millitary agreement with China

Nukilia:


you might be missing something very important, and that is the fact that Israel wants to bomb off all nuclear installations in Iran so as to halt their nuclear program. The Zionist regime is using America as a font in order to execute their action.

The Americans won't send ground troops like they did in Iraq because the casualties will be too much for Americans to cope with. Aerial bombardment of critical infrastructure in Iran is imminent. Key targets 1. Nuclear Installations 2. Electricity installations. 3. Weapons facilities 4. Oil installations 5. Water supplies

joker,so you aren't aware of the fact that Iran has one of the best air defence and surface to earth missiles which could blow anything off the sky,war would be a loose loose for both countries but US should stop threatening other countries too.

Efewestern:


They did, Isreal goofed in that battle, 30000 soldiers couldn't get 2000 men to surrender, what level of incompetency is that. Hezbollah achieved all their objectives, did Israel achieved theirs?

You just want to deny the obvious fact, probably because of religious sentiments.

Which battle?
What are you saying Oga!
A terrorist group that hides behind women and children won what?
Shior!

CaptainMarvel:

Take the U.S out of the equation and is real will crumble within weeks.
Don't under estimate the power of a country's wealth in times of war/conflict. During world war 2, Japan and Germany had better technologies, more formidable Armed forces and war machines. That was what led to the pearl harbour attack on the U.S by Japan but then what happened? The U.S converted its vast wealth into its military strength, And the Manhattan project was born within a space of two weeks. They attacked Japan with it and have never looked back since then. Or why do you think they got the idea of spending heavily on military and defence?

What better technologies did Japan have?
Comparing the basic military hardware-- rifles and/or grenades showed the Japanese were inferior.
Pear harbour was an attack to rule the Pacific.
Did not mean they were superior...
And it was a sucker punch.
It you talk about the Germans, that's a different story.
They were ahead of everybody

Socsed:


The only thing I'm sure of is that the country with the higher population may suffer most. America's population is 328Million while the determined small Iran is 82Million.
Bloodshed should be avoided....A country challenging USA at this time must have made some plans too. Don't underestimate the power of any country, especially during this time where there's possibility their allies join the war.

There allies will not join anything. The worst that will happen is they supply hardware.
The US doesn't want to fight Russia/or China and vice versa...
It will be too expensive and their economies will collapse.
Then another set of super powers will arise... Same way Russia and the US emerged after the second world war.
So if any country will make them confront one another, na to abandon that country and look the other way.
Russia attacked Ukraine and nothing happened, Obama looked the other way!

Efewestern:




You are probable ignorant about international politics, or should I say you know nothing about the Persians. No doubts Iran can't even dare confront the US unprovoked, that will be their end, but US will find it extremely difficult to defeat Iran in their soil, due to terrain, how determined the Persians are, allies in the region, etc.

Wars are not only won due to Sophisticated weapons, if not Isreal wouldn't have been defeated by rag tag Hezbollah militias, US wouldn't have been defeated by ill equipped Vietnam military, Saudi Arabia would have for a long time won the crisis in Yemen, etc.

Iran is threading with care, and they know they don't match the US, but if US dare attack her, they will fight US with all they have, The Persians fought Iraq will little international support even when Saddam Hussein was being supported by the entire western world, Iran back then had few weapons and depended largely on Foreign countries for military hardwares, yet they were able to push Iraq out of Iran and fought like never before, in fact they changed the objective of the war and was about encroaching Iraq. Iran fought to keep its sovereignty with tooth and nail even when Iraq was using chemical weapons on them.

Now fast forward to 2019, Iran has so many affiliated militias in Lebanon (Hezbollah, strongest in the world, that even the almighty Isreal would think twice before stealing Lebanese land), Houthi Shia groups (Yemen militias kicking Saudi ass in Yemen), Syria military (If not for Iran, The rebels would have defeated Bashar al-Assad), Iraq (Iraq is now an ally of Iran). That's not all, Iran has a homegrown military industry, they produce their own rockets, guns, submarines, aircraft (thou inferior), sophisticated missiles, etc, now tell me how you intend defeating a country such as this with ease? or you think Iran is Libya?

US knows this and they know invading Iran unprovoked will end their influence in the region, this war won't only end in Iran, it will affect all Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia and Isreal, Just an order from Iran and see how Hezbollah unleash their madness.

US is powerful, but wars are not always won by that. a war with Iran isnt what we should be praying for, as millions will perish. God heal the Middle East.

Good analysis bro
But I think even the Japanese had all of these with them and yet the US beat them in their own country. The war in Vietnam did not have full support, buy trust me if the Iranians attack the US first like the Japanese did in pearl harbour, that would be the end of the Islamic regime there. The US would burn her to the ground and no be mouth.

IT IS NOT AMERICA, IT IS ISRAEL,PUSHING AMERICA TO DO IT AND ISRAEL WILL NOT REST UNTIL THE NUCLEAR SITES IN IRAN ARE TURNED INTO RUBBLES. IF THEY FAIL IN GETTING TRUMP TO DO IT ,,ISRAEL WILL BE LEFT WITH NO OPTION THAN TO DIRECTLY HIT IRAN AS IRAN REMAINS THE GREATEST THREAT TO ISRAEL'S EXISTENCE BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSTANTLY CALLING FOR ISRAEL'S DESTRUCTION.

Spechialone:
Trump Now u know...It was same Trump that accused Clinton and Obama of causing unnecessary tensions in the North East... He who wears the shoe knows where it pinches

Trump is a certified idiot. Only an idiot thinks Trump is brilliant. Anyway, most Americans are idiots.

Almunjid:

To me , ordinary China pass US. No be by Bragging

You don't even know the difference between "to me" and "for me"

To me is a preposition which means preference, relationship between one person and another.

For me is a preposition which means opinion,in support or favour of ,benefit of.

Your said about your opinion and not your preference.

So use "for me"

ScotMisile:


Rubbish and polarized... No need for noise making bro... A war with US marks the end of IRan. US provoked Russia severally for a war during Obama's time , but Russia ddntdi give in for a war.. .in his words he said the world will suffer if a war breaks out and the US don't care.

The US are the qorldsw most dangerous terrorists and Iran knows this... You can type all you can, but Iran will cry bitter for a war with the Masters of war.

Iran makes this and that.. .and think Us is busy chopping burgers and shawarmas.

Japan made that mistake of underestimating US. ..And Vietnam is a settled case study.

The US is undefeatable.

God bless u for your analysis. I made a reference to the Japan factor. No fighters are as dogged as the Japanese. They started suicide bombing with their kamikaze stunts and the rest yet the US beat them. Anything that makes IRAN attack the US first then you will see the beast in what America is. The Japanese always felt America was a country that was more into enjoying her casinos and beaches until they attacked her. That was when they realized that they woke up a Godzilla

I've not fired a gun before, but I love international geopolitics and I keep abreast of things happening around me. People who make Wide-reaching decisions are usually not the the ones on ground, they send other people to carry out the actions.

What are you saying Oga!

Shior!

Hezbollah is a resistant movement, secondly they didn't hide behind women and children during the 2006 war with Isreal, they fought face to face. I think you are confusing Hezbollah with Hamas or Isis.

Hezbollah had locations, they fought from a well known but fortified positions, they guided each Lebanese village bordering Isreal, while evacuating women and children to safer positions. Even before shooting rockets at Isreal they sent text to Israelis telling them to live their homes.

You just have to respect those guys, they were fearless, you can read more about them, even Isreali soldiers were marvelled at how those guys fought. 100 Hezbollah members might guide a village, you invading will think they are up to 1000 because of how well positioned they are.

Hezbollah were brave, even in current war in Syria, they are performing wonders, they single handedly defeated some rebels in 2017 or so.

Efewestern:


Iraq was not stronger than Iran then, Iraq only thought of Invading Iran because of his allies and the upcoming sanctions eating Iran up, so Saddam Hussein thought that would be a perfect time to strike.

Even after he started the war, he couldn't move deep into Iran before Iran chanced him out, and Iraq was now on a defensive battle instead of Offensive. Iraq can't be stronger than Iran then, if Iran had gotten the level of supports Iraq got, they would have captured the entire Iraq.

America will destroy Iran, no doubt, but the issue is that you feel it will cost US nothing, which is not true, Iran unlike Iraq has been preparing for foreign invasion since after their relationship went sour with US, so they invested a lot in defense, Iraq never thought his so called allies would invade him, so two different scenarios.

lol the way you're thinking this war will favour Iran baffles me

I'm not praying for war.. The same analysis you're running now is the exact same thing Saddam and many analysts were doing back then

Oga you don't know America like some of us do

I tell you.. They'll cripple Iran infrastructure, defence and whatever is left of there government

Very apt analysis. Most people do not know the US goaded Japan into world war 2. US sanctions had crippled Japanese war efforts by depriving them of needed raw materials. In fact Japan had only a month supply of fuel before attacking pearl Harbour. It is rumoured America had cracked the Japanese codes and knew about Japanese plans to bomb pearl Harbour hence moved their aircraft carriers and some destroyers days before the attack.
German technological superiority was something else though.

Did you even read the tweet?


So US should be laughing when Iran shoot at them and chant "dead to America"?

You probably think that Obama is still the president.

Sorry to disppoint u again, S-300 with Multi-band radar that Iran has will shoot it down. Its powerful 91N6E Anti – stealth range will do the job perfectly. The idea of 'Stealth' has been defeated several times so what is the big deal about stealth ?

Plus you refuse to understand the main point. All the B-52,B2 Infact Bs are nothing but to threaten the use of force and Iran is not just the kind of country to threaten. That is the point if you are missing.



Do I have to reply this again ?


Now check the facts.
Russian SS-NX-26 Yakhont missiles — with a top speed of Mach 2.9 — are lining up the Iranian northern shore of the Strait of Hormuz. There’s no way U.S. aircraft carriers can defend a barrage of Yakhont missiles.

Then there are the SS-N-22 Sunburn supersonic anti-ship missiles — already exported to China and India — flying ultra-low at 1,500 miles an hour with dodging capacity, and extremely mobile; they can be fired from a flatbed truck, and were designed to defeat the U.S. Aegis radar defense system. So does this answer you correctly ?

Japan attacked America out of desperation. They didn't expect America would be easy. Their calculation was a short war with America and quick peace negotiations. But it backfired big time.

You see, the problem with all those anti America hot heads is that they mistake the US culture of self-restraint for weakness. The dudes have no idea that almost the entire Europe literally pay the US for protection.

These dudes have no idea that the US can actually shut down the entire world within 24 hours if they feel like it.

They did not know how passionately they should be thanking God that it's not China, Russia or the Arabs that has the kind of power that the US posses.

The Japanese chased the British away from south east Asia. They defeated Russia, they were fighting the Australians in the jungles of Indonesia.

they know nothing boss. The don't no NATO is still U.S

They don't know U.S has bases in the UK and Germany

The don't know U.S once fought in the Persian gulf and defeated it's enemies

They don't know the U.S has being fighting wars for the past 20years making it the most experienced fighting force in the world

The don't know as a result of there fighting years, the keep adapting and innovatiing new techniques and weapons for Modern Warfare

Or maybe the know but are blinded by sentiments.

Those saying israel was defeated by iran was a big lie, you can search google yourself this was one of israel war histories i pick up from google.

THE SIX-DAY WAR AND ITS IMPACT ON ARAB AND ISRAELI CONFLICT 93
1. The withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from the occupied territories.
2. Respect for and recognition of any sovereignty.
3. A solution to the Palestinian refugee problem.
The Arabs were willing to make peace with Israel and recognise Israel’s right to exist, but only after the
Israelis had withdrawn from the conquered Arab territories. The Israelis, in turn, declared their readiness to
withdraw from the occupied territories, but insisted that the Arabs should first recognize Israel’s existence and
make peace so that withdrawals and the refugee issue could be negotiated. Israel would use the occupied
territories as a guarantee for peace, that is to say, as a bargaining chip: land for peace—step by step5
.
The war changed the power balance in the Middle East. It was now clear that Israel was militarily stronger
than any of the Arab countries, and it changed the Arab countries’ diplomatic and economic relations with the
outside world.
According to Steven Spiegel, the relationship between the USA and Israel has gone through two phases:
before and after the Six-day War:
Phase 1 (1948-1967): Israel as a burden: “In the period from the emergence of the State of Israel to the
Six-Day War, American leaders generally saw the fledgling Jewish state as a burden cast upon the United
States by dint of circumstance.”6
Phase 2 (1967-1992): Israel as an attractive ally: “The Six-Day War, in any case, had a profound impact
on American-Israeli relations and would, in time, transform them. To American leaders, the war had
demonstrated that Israel was indeed the prime military power in the area, providing a new dimension to the
perspective of Israel as a potential benefit to American interests”.
Beyond the military achievements, Israel’s victory created a lasting sense of shame, with much of the Arab
population and Arabs being in shock over Israel’s success. The disappointment was so great, the Egyptian
president, Gamal Abdul Nasser, would resign the presidency.
The defeat in the June war also affected the Arab countries’ military and economy, leading to the collapse
in the common front of Arab armies, which had existed up to the war in 1973, and, finally, the pan-Arabism
ideology was weakened.
As one of the most significant results of the June war, the Arab countries were divided into two sections.
The first being Egypt, which was more open to the West and the United States. The second section consisted of
Iraq, Syria, and South Yemen who received military and financial support from the USSR7
.
For the Palestinians, the defeat meant that they had to take their problems into their own hands.
Palestinians were now a political force, who fought their own battles. After 1969, the Palestine Liberation
Organization PLO, which was as an umbrella for a host of new groups—the People’s Front for the Liberation
of Palestine (PFLP) and Black September, emerged. They tried to conduct guerrilla warfare in the occupied
territories, but the Israelis put an effective end to this. Then some Palestinian groups began to use other means
such as hijacking, and the purpose behind those actions was that they wanted to make the Palestinian problem
visible to the western world8
.
1967-war consequences for Israeli-Palestinian relations


Google only started iran as the recent country threatening israel of their record but the israel nation are trying to understand the iran war strategies.

Iran is the most sophisticated and dangerous adversary Israel has ever faced. A theocracy with a long-term perspective, Iran recognizes that it cannot destroy Israel in the short term and has thus adopted a decades-long strategy of attrition until destruction.

Israel is a frenetic democracy, focused on the here and now. Although we can manage the conflict with Iran and defend ourselves successfully, Iran may simply be our first adversary that is too big and powerful to be defeated.

Israel must thus adopt a national security strategy best suited to this new kind of long-term confrontation, one of "strategic patience," based on maximal self-restraint, even in the face of significant provocations, and greater emphasis on defense (e.g. Iron Dome) and diplomacy. Offense would be resorted to when the other options have been exhausted, Israel can achieve significant periods of calm (5-10 years), at a price it is willing to pay, and maintain societal resilience.

Instead of you to condemn the act....



Anyways, Nigeria is next...


US has touched literally every large oil producing countries, directly or indirectly...

Iran
Libya
Venezuela
Kuwait
Qatar

Watch out bro, Naija is next...... A fight would just break out for no reason and the US would offer to intervene, with literally little or no choice, we would accept and then the penetration would begin....


The US is a bitch!!!!!
