Dpharisee:
This is terrible with great repercussions, Iraqis are already fed up with US attacking their country. Killing a guest of Iraqi government with no respect for international law is bad news.
The Iranians will respond, the man hit Soleimani is a charismatic personality in Iran and internationally.
He helped in defeating ISIS which Trump has been claiming all the credit to himself.

Even the US Congress has just called this assassination a bad decision

Unite who and who?

They can't take US on. If they do, other countries will join.

Then you have Saudi Arabia and others, you think they will jeopardize their economy and stronghold by entering into a full blown war with the West.

And Iran is Shia.




backbone503:


False. The assassination of Qassem Soleimani (a name synonymous with Iranian pride), Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and others will shockingly unite Iranians and its allies in the entire Middle East against US. This guys will show this anger.

Don't deceive Urself.. it will be US n Europe vs Arab Nations (Algeria, Bahrain, Comoros, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, State of Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen) n I don't c US n Europe conquering.. except China n Russia falls in line.. most Arab nations get military AIF from Russia.. n Russia is always on opposite sides with US.. Palestine might just stage a reprisal attack on behalf of Iran.. or Iran does it themselves..that's all..

Lol. You're just a Muslim fundamentalist hiding behind your Islamic camaraderie, with no idea of how the real world operates.

These countries you mentioned will be happy to see a destabilized and shaken Iran. Even here in Nigeria, Bubu wants to eradicate the Iran-backed Shia Islam, and you are there imagining an Arab coalition on behalf of Iran.

In your dreams. grin

Thanks. You know exactly my worry. Tbh, if Iran decides to retaliate (which I guess they will) America will not find it easy.

I also pray that the democrats don't come close to power

Lol. Iran will never retaliate. They only make mouth. Israel has been making regular bombing runs on Iranian/ Hezbollah bases in Syria and Iraq for years now. Not a single retaliatory strike on Israel. Iran is all bluster and no muscle. Their way is the coward's way; incite others to do your fighting and arm them with your obsolete weaponry.

I like Trump sha. Unlike his pussified predecessor, he does not make empty threats.

PerfectlyPerfect:

If you knew anything about international geopolitics, you wouldn't be saying this. War isn't just about arms and munitions. A war with Iran will backfire spectacularly on the US. All the middle East countries, with the exception of Saudi Arabia and Israel will support Iran. Terrorist attacks will also increase in the US due to sentimentality of the Hezbollah and ISIS sleeper cells in the US who will feel their motherland is being attacked. Also, Iran recently took delivery of Russian S400 missile defence systems and just 5 of these will be enough to protect the entire country against foreign aggression in the air. The systems are advanced enjoy to take out any and all US air platforms, including the so-called stealth aircrafts.
In all, the US will be then biggest losers


LOL. There are no alliances like that of interest.

No middle east is fighting for Iran. Only terrorists will make noise and bomb facilities within heir reach(not on US soil, anyways) and that would be that. Besides, Ayatollah will right now be suing for peace.

We will Co e back to this conversation after this is over.

Funding.......Haha what did the funding do in Vietnam.......what.......
Brother cash will not do shut......



The only place it is good is logistics ..........
You can tell me that if war starts today the US arsenal will just double...... Nah it's not possible no matter the money they have.....

So to some extent their military might is currently fixed....... And don't continue repeating stuffs like Russia won't stick it's head out.............

Is Russia not flexing it's military might in Syria...... And some contractors are just entering Libya

Did Russia not annexed huge lands from a NATO country few years back....... Has Russia not supplied defense systems to turkey and India even amidst complains from the west so bro I repeat stop exaggerating things and making them seem like a write off........ Brother if these countries where Russia China India Iran... Etc.... You would be under us colonization now ......


If you really want to get a clear conviction go online...... Not on a biased blog but or a fact based forum or website and check and compere their military strengths........


Russia surpasses the US in
Defense technology
Missile technology in general
Tank force
Ground troops serving and reserve combined
Amount of nukes......

The US beats them in
Air Force
Supported by their aircraft carriers
And naval fleet which is near comparable


We are not adding china to form the duo yet oh

My guy let's just rest it will be a war...... Not something of placing certainties.....


You mentioned worked war three......if then Soviet Union didn't come up and break the robintrop Molotov pact Germany would have conquered Europe and the axis would have attacked America........ As even Japan was on another front with Russia and China in Manchuria so bro it is even clear you are informed but from western propagandist....

Only if you understand the true thinking of an average American, you won't be posting that false narrative.
They are still bellyaching about the war that Bush started many many years ago. It has cost trillions and more than 4000 American lives.
In fact Trump himself used his stance against the war to win election, he promised to bring all American troops home. Oh well, its easier to campaign than to make promises than to fulfill them.
the war between the two country is inevitable but USA don't want to start the war. Look at what is happening in Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Saudis Arabia, Iraq and Israel, Iran is the problem.

Mordecai:


Imagine this line of thought. Are you for real?

Iran stands no chance against US. The strait of Hormuz might be blocked initially, but the US Navy will easily take out the Iranian warships and take control of the sea.

The war might linger, but the battlefield will be Iran and Iraq, and while there'll always be a resistance in Iran, the US will demolish them. The US does not need a coalition to beat Iran. There is no country today that will go to war against US on behalf of Iran. So why is Iran making life difficult for their citizens?

There is no wisdom in Iran grandstanding against a Trump-led US. Trump will call their bluff. This assassination is just a warning.


In which part of my comment did I say Iran can match the US...I’m just on the line of thought that war can spring up frOm all of this....and like all wars countries will take sides

let me give you one expo you don't know.

Japan's military is only built for defense, they can't orchestrate any form of attack, this means they can't attack ang country only to defend their country in the situation of being attacked. They depend on the US for that likewise south korea.
International politics and war is not emotional bullshi.t as you think.

Believe me you, no country in it's right senses would willingly go to war against the US. I'm not saying it because I like the US or whatever. Even groups of countries, and by the way USA has the power blocks of Europe ad military allies via their NATO Pact.

I gues you don't know this...

This is a decent move from one of the belligerents.

The spotlight is now fully beamed on the Iranians. They must not disappoint.

I am watching from a safe distance. And I don't want any proxy wars... those things are getting f**king boring! sad

The next few days will be interesting indeed.
If Iran fails to "represent" properly and proportionately to spice things up, then I will start regarding them as nothing more than paper tigers and noise-makers. Yeah, I said that!




Seconded!
Moreover, i think historical writing and analysis gonna be extremely boring without military wars between and among nation-state to spice the pages of history books. therefore, Iran should fully *REPRESENT*

[quote author=CSTR2 post=85455674]Even America admire their resilience secretly.

Unfortunately, Iran is fighting with the wrong enemy.

The iran of the 70s were very progressive people.
Their women dressed like Americans wearing bikinis and pants on the beach.

America actually protected Iran from Iraq at a point in their history.
If Iran had not been taken over by Islamists and Mad Men, they could have been very very good friends with the west and would have gone very far.

It is not too late. Throw off the ayatollahs, get a progressive leader, swallow your pride and apologise to America and Israel
Destroy whatever nuclear ambitions you have and be free from sanctions.

That is the only sane thing to to do to guarantee their future. [/quote

Top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani was killed Friday in a US strike on Baghdad’s international airport, Iran and the US confirmed, in the most dramatic episode yet of escalating tensions between the two countries.

The Pentagon said US President Donald Trump ordered Soleimani’s “killing,” after a pro-Iran mob this week laid siege to the US embassy.

Many American citizens anywhere in the world may loose their lifes because of this. Even the lifes of those resident in America are still in danger because these guys may engage in secret assassination to avenge this man.
Moreover, Christians all over the world should be very careful and vigilant because the way their retaliation will come may not be the way that is anticipated.

Furthermore, my annoyance is that this will endanger the lives of loved ones and relations in American soil and elsewhere.
