The Japanese chased the British away from south east Asia. They defeated Russia, they were fighting the Australians in the jungles of Indonesia. The Japanese learned from the Germans, they were dogged fighters. Do you know that the Chinese are still scared of Japan till date. Go read about the Japs.

...And that translates to technological superiority?
The Afghans defeated Russia and England translates to superiority?
How did they learn from the Germans, when and where?
China scared of Japan now?
The same Japan Mao Zedong defeated.
The sleeping giant of the east is awake now.
Any Asian country that dares them wants to be ruined!

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.

Naah!!!
It was guerilla warfare... No face to face anything.
They hit and run, that was the tactic.
Their casualties were more, the civilian casualties were worse and it was an ugly situation.
The country was being bombed to smithereens and most of the victims were innocent.
I'm not taking it away that they were fierce fighters, but how Israel lost the war when in the end Israel was last to come to the negotiating table beats me.

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 didn't give in for a war.. .in his words Putin said the world will suffer if a war breaks out between Us/Russia and the US don't care.

The US are the world's 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.

Una too ignorant. Chia!!!!

Cadec007:
have you asked yourselfs why America continues to punish and control the Iranian oil business??

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!!!!!

lol funny u, USA n d rest of western states haven't touch Iran oil for over 40 years why? because Iran is placed on sanction.

the only states in a world that has build the most sophisticated warhead missile weapon is Russia n USA. but Russia is not economically strong, so we give it to USA.

the names of nuclear weapons u see flying on nairaland claim iran have is notting compare to what USA have.

Iran right now is just pained n bitter state. Iranian are cursing their leaders who forceful converted them to Muslim , they prefer their old culture, even d people of Iran are looking for means to revolt against their wicked Islamic leader.

Iran is decayed since there oil is smuggled for exchange of cheap nuclear weapons.it seems that all Iran has.

why can't he tell North Korean dat too

RTSC:

Stop talking nonsense.
A war with America would see Iran totally finished.
America would pound them on earth, air and sea.

It would be a swift victory and nothing would happen in the middle east.

If hezbollah tries anything, isreal would have the perfect excuse to invade and destroy.

Better analysis
Consider man power, military wares, resources, allies & ask ursef wat Iran smoked to think dey don mature. China & Russian put together fears US na Iran go give dem much sleepless night?
I doubt

...president trump has no concrete foreign policy...hence he's trying to pick up issues with iran...why hasn't him said anything for the past few weeks about north korea...who have since resumed testing missiles...

panafrican:
Trump did pretty well on foreign policy during his first term in office.
He did not blow up any country , he did not collude with warmongering nations such as UK and France to smuggle weapons into countries and start a bloody armed rebellion like what we saw in Syria and Libya.

Based on that Iran should wise up and avoid unnecessary conflicts with a country it cannot defeat.

As if his first tenure has ended...

salamudeen:
Abeg compare the Size of Iran with the size of USA...


Tell this to either Russia or China Please...

Just like saying Lagos state threatening a local Government in Bayelsa


Why would such be coming out from a president? this one is just a business man not a president @ all

Some Ignorantis that doesnt know the aftermath of war would come out and start saying trash....

One thing i realised here is 90% percent of the people who would be happy about the news would be mainly Christians and Igbos here in Nigeria...


FYI.... Am not bashing anybody am just saying my mind if e pain you this is a faceless forum dont be offended

US and Iran is not going to war. Iran cannot.

The killing by boko, herdsmen and bandits should be the focus. thses guys are killing innocent people for no reason.

distributeinc:

The ties Russia has with Syria is different from what they have with Iran. Russian government ties with Syria has been going on stable for more than a Century...am talking serious big business ties. Russia is friendly with Iran, they also have business prospects, but have some contentious issues, pertaining to the militias and Islamic extremists ties Iran is associated with. So Russia might not intervene at the same level they are with Syria, and under Trump, I think Russia will thread carefully...their intervention might be in the form of selling weapons to Iran covetly, but do the Iranians have the skills and money to acquire these hi-tech weaponry?
If Russia does this, then they will have several sanctions coming on them from the US, NATO etc...Russia will weigh it's interest carefully.

Iran is no longer as wealthy as the old Persia was...things are different now, ever since these big nations divided the world after the aftermath of world war1 and 2...everything is now under a new world order.
The sanctions are biting, the world is a system now, controlled by the big cats... if you know, you know.

@ Bolded. The US has been sanctioning Russia for a decade now, it has not really changed anything much. As long as China & Europe keep on buying Russian gas, the US sanctions are useless.
EU cannot sanction Russia when their survival is heavily tied to Russian gas.

Russia and China will never allow the US destroy their biggest and strongest ally. Never! Interests or not.

I think you should read this book titled "We were caught unprepared", written by an American soldier about the 2006 Lebanon war (https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/combat-studies-institute/csi-books/we-were-caught-unprepared.pdf). It's just 1mb, download and get a true picture of the crisis, you can also recommend any book for me.

here is an excerpt from the book

... On 17 July, the first large-scale Israeli ground foray began near Maroun al-Ras in an effort to establish a foothold in southern Lebanon. One of the first units to come to blows with Hezbollah in Maroun al-Ras was the elite Maglan unit, part of what the IDF called a “special forces cluster.” “We didn’t know what hit us,” one Maglan soldier told a reporter. The Special Forces soldiers were stunned by the volume of gunfire and the doggedness of the Hezbollah fighters.

Another Maglan reported, “We expected a tent and three Kalashnikovs—that was the intelligence we were given. Instead, we found a hydraulic steel door leading to a well-equipped network of tunnels.” By the next morning, the Maglans were virtually surrounded. It was reported from northern headquarters that “the commander of the IDF’s northern sector, Lieutenant-General Udi Adams, could barely believe that some of his best soldiers had been so swiftly trapped; neither could the chief of staff. ‘What’s wrong with the Maglans?’ Halutz demanded to know. ‘They are surrounded,’Adams replied quietly. ‘I must send in more
forces.’

From underground bunkers and tunnels, Hezbollah fighters in and around Maroun al-Ras fought back frantically. As the battle intensified, the IDF was forced to throw more forces into the fray. Soon, tanks from three Israeli brigades entered the fight, along with the Egoz unit from the Golani Brigade, an engineer battalion, and Battalion 101 of the Paratrooper Brigade. On 19 July, a Hezbollah antitank missile killed five Egoz soldiers as they sought shelter in a house.5 At the same time, numerous IDF tanks were hit by Sagger antitank missiles, wounding many of the tank crewmen. “They’re not fighting like we thought they would,” one IDF soldier said. “They’re fighting harder. They’re good on their own ground.” In fact, Hezbollah’s tactical proficiency bewildered the IDF. Hezbollah was not simply hunkering down and defending terrain, but using its small arms, mortars, rockets, and antitank weapons to successfully maneuver against the IDF.
...

Efe western and some other folks have spoken the sincere truth. No doubt US is a world power however their world power most times is laddened with propaganda which many would doubt. The US cannot fight alone and in all their fights they will ensure they take it away from their soil. Iran knows all these thats why even the US is scared. Has the US ever been attacked on his soil? I mean war-like one not terrorists attacks. If the US tries to attack Iran, I can tell you that the implications and consequences will be far reaching for both countries and their allies. Iran will not only defend their territory but will take the war to them as well. It will be disastrous! I know all these are just threats and puzzles in the end time equation.

I was not referring to Japan being technologically superior to the Americans then but they had their own military industrial complex and factories. And yes the Japanese learnt from the Germans you can read about it. Mao Zedong didn't defeat the Japanese, it was America who helped the Kuomintang defeat them in China. The worst nightmare for China is if Japan trows away her pacifist constitution and goes back to the pre world war 2 constitution

tolexy007:


you said it...some of dem even forget that EU hides under America to avoid destruction from Russia, so if America call for war today his allies will support, cos if america falls, EU falls

The Allies will only join the US, if the US is facing a threat to it's homeland territory cos that is when the US is really threatened, not when the US in engaging on troublesome warfare at others.

You guys forget that most EU countries are still in agreement with Iran on the Nuclear deal. Apart from Israel and perhaps Saudi Arabia/Arab world, don't expect any other country to join the US in invading Iran.

The EU have no interests in the invasion of Iran unlike they did in Syria.

BlackLaw:


First of all, Hezbollah did not defeat Israel. Not in 2006, not ever! Secondly, Hezbollah has been very careful around Israel since the Syrian civil war broke out which is the reason why there's not been any response to Israeli airstrikes in Syria. So you can rule out Hezbollah from the list of significant allies.
You can also rule out Houthi militias from that list,I mean they have their own problems with Saudi Arabia and other GCC allies pounding their strongholds daily.
I don't see why the Syrian military is even being mentioned in this case.
Suffice to say that Iran has no ally capable of confronting the U.S in the event of war. China would not put their asses on the line for Iran, neither would Russia.
While crushing Iran might be difficult, it is not nearly as impossible as you make it seem. Installing military infrastructures in mountainous regions does not guarantee the safety of such installations. The U.S can target such installations with precise bombs made for such purposes, bunk busters I believe they are called. Plus I'm not even going to talk about the U.S nuclear capabilities!
Iran must not misjudge the situation or underestimate the U.S resolve and the madness that Donald Trump brings to the table. They'd be wise to not undertake any provocative actions for the meantime.

I remember the 2006 Israel Hezbollah conflict because I had a aunt in Lebanon then. Many Nigerians had to run to neighbouring Jordan for safety during the war, Israel pounded Lebanon so hard. What Hezbollah did was more of guirella fighting. Hezbollah can't match the Israeli army in real conventional warfare. Them no be mate

They ran as a result of heavy bombardment on Lebanon, Israel's Original plan was to continue an air raid in Lebanon for one month, cripple the economy and infrastructures, bomb Hezbollah key communication channels and force them to surrender.

After a weak of constant bombardment, Hezbollah never stopped in shooting rockets into Isreal, all her communication channels were still in tact, Israel had no option than to send in ground troops, which Hezbollah was well prepared for.

I will share you this material to read about the battle, I already posted an excerpt above, the book was written by an American soldier, he studied Israel's inability to curtain Hezbollah and how unprepared they were. https://www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/combat-studies-institute/csi-books/we-were-caught-unprepared.pdf (We were caught unprepared).

Same thing I'm saying about US invading Iran, They might carry out some air strikes, but will meet stiff resistance if they invade Iran territory.

And the Israelis killing more Hezbollah fighters than they lost translates to them loosing the war.
The Lebanese government even with all the airstrikes folded their arms, avoiding a full scale war.
Hezbollah asked for an unconditional ceasefire in the end, while Israel still demanded certain conditions, until pressured by the international community.
So how did Israel loose that war?
If push comes to shove, they will bomb the whole country to dust.

He was cozying up to Kim, the leader of the poverty stricken North Korea, who violates human rights at every turn and was taken for the fo*ol that he is. He made Kim a legend in his country. Great job!

Explorers:
A rocket was fired into Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone where the US Embassy is based.

In an outburst following the rocket launch, President Donald Trump threatened Iran with destruction if it seeks a fight with the US.

He tweeted: 'If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!'

Hello please refer me to one of your post about how usa is ready for war. Thanks i search I couldn’t find. Thanks inadv

tolexy007:


not because of China or Russia but because of damages on thier close Allie South korea

America doesn't care about S. Korea. They are only their close allies with them because they share an enemy and they had to set up military bases in S. Korea to easily get into N. Korea should N. Korea try anything. It's not that they care about S. Korea.

They were in the process of setting up a Millitary Base in Ghana. It has nothing to do with being ally but strategic position for their military bases. They are worming their way into Mozambique and it has nothing to do with being friends.

America doesn't care about anyone but themselves.

dermmy:
War is not the solution to everything. Honestly the United Nations has failed. I think the reason united nations was created is to bring countries together so that they can settle their difference in a pacific way through diplomacy but the way powerful countries flex muscle against weaker ones won't help. US pulled out of a deal that major world powers initiated and wants the other party to continue its commitment to the deal, now you want to force her to come to the negotiating table isn't that funny? US has no right to unilaterally walk out of the deal this is a multilateral world for God sake. US should not make herself the emperor of this world anything regarding world peace and security should be resloved in the UN. I support a multilateral world order.

National interest comes first before any other thing

You don't mess with a Republican president especially when it's a certain DJ Trump

Hezbollah didn't ask for any unconditional ceasefire, I even provided a book for you to update yourself about the crisis, yet you keep posting false information and lies, hyping the Israeli troops that lost shamelessly. Here is another excerpt from the book, note this book was written by Isreal strongest ally, America. On several occasions, American forces refer to the 2006 Lebanon war as it taught them a serious lesson.

Israel failed on the strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Israel did not succeed in generating decapitation, paralysis, blindness, or any other effect that substantially harms the will or functioning of the organization’s command and control echelon. Nor did it succeed in suppressing the operational effectiveness of Hizbollah’s combat groups and light surface-to-surface rocket formations. At the end of the day, Israel did not upset the equilibrium of Hizbollah’s system and did not create a sense of helplessness and distress, nor did it push the organization towards cognitive-strategic collapse and a drive to end the war immediately on Israel’s terms.

In the conventional arena, the IDF ground forces performed unsatisfactorily. The fight at Wadi al-Saluki, for example, revealed the failure of tank commanders and crewmen to use their smokescreen systems, the lack of indirect-fire skills, and the total absence of combined arms proficiency. The IDF lost many of these perishable combat skills during its long years of COIN operations against the Palestinians. Hezbollah proved to be a highly dedicated and professional fighting force, armed with some of the most advanced weapon systems in the world. There can be no doubt that the IDF greatly underestimated its opponent. From 2000 to 2006, Hezbollah successfully embraced a new doctrine, transforming itself from a predominantly guerrilla force into a formidable quasi-conventional fighting force.

In the tactical arena, Hezbollah proved a worthy adversary for IDF ground forces. Its use of swarming ATGMs and RPGs against Israeli tanks was both shrewd and inventive. Of the 114 IDF personnel killed during the war, 30 were tank crewmen. Out of the 400 tanks involved in the fighting in southern Lebanon, 48 were hit, 40 were damaged, and 20
penetrated. It is believed that five Merkavas were completely destroyed. Clearly, Hezbollah has mastered the art of light infantry/ATGM tactics against heavy mechanized forces. Hezbollah also deserves high marks for its innovative use of sophisticated ambushes and the clever use of both direct and indirect fires

For six years, the IDF conducted a counterinsurgency campaign against the Palestinians and developed a doctrine rooted in EBO and high-tech wizardry. However, in the summer of 2006, when confronted by a conventional war with Hezbollah, the Israeli military proved incapable of defeating a minor adversary. Although research and analysis of this recent conflict are still ongoing, the emerging details of ill-conceived doctrine and an army marred by long years of counterinsurgency operations still yield valid and important lessons for today’s US Army officers.

why do you waste your time on he-goats? Hezbollah defeater Israel twice, first during the lebanon war 1982-2000 and again in 2006. Hezbollah continue firing rockets into Northern Israel to the last day of the war. Funny they didnt use their most sophisticated weapons which could have targeted Tel-Aviv. They have sent drones close to Israel's nuclear reactors since then. Israel is donut for Hezbollah forces
