This is not good at all especially when two mad leaders are taking the shots whereas diplomacy,tact and sanctions should have been employed in an already bad situation like the US-Iran present relationship. Well, maybe our petrol go sell better as it did during the Gulf war only for the proceeds to disappear into thin air under IBB. But this war is not good and may get out of hands as there are hawks by the both sides waiting to unleash mayhem.

I thought America was disparaging Nigeria for not obeying laws; which law of the UN is Ameriaca obeying in killing someone so brazenly in another sovereign nation's land against their national laws and against international laws. People abusing Buhari for holding El Zakzaky against the laws are now hailing USA for disobeying laws. Its so crazy.

All this ones that don't know anything about foreign news coming here to spill trash ..

If you don't know the man have been a wanted terrorist for long , he has killed thousands of people including his people .

And before the strick the american still seek permission from other tiger county cause the man was a common enemy to the whole world , have you heard any reasonable country condemning the Americana for what they did??

Your freedom today depends on the Americans , if not them you might be dead by now .

Make research before you talk

Even all of those people comparing the Chinese or Iranian military might to the U.S are ill-informed. Do you guys even know the amount the Americans spend on their military every year? No nation is even close to spending what the Americans invest in military hardware. Google it - a country that spends over 750billion dollars on its military per year is no joke! No other country in the world even spends half of that.

Even in terms of economy, the economy of California alone(just a state in the United States) is bigger than the economy of the whole of Russia's(California's economy is bigger than U.K and France economy as well). You people should go online and read about the military and economic might of the United States in comparison with other superpowers. China is just rebuilding its military and because the Chinese do display their weapons every year does not mean they are better than the Americans. Americans don't have time for annual military exhibitions - they don't need to show the world the kinds of Drones they have - you will only know about it after they must have used it - like the one they used last night in Iraq. Abeg!


Bros me too I tire for this folks oooh,

They really don't know all this , they just believe too much on media hypes .

Remember the soundless helicopter used in killing osama bin ladin .....Obama and 99% of Americans never knew that kind of machine was ever made .

This guys own so much hardware that are well hidden , no carry them joke oooh

America don't even need to go to any war with Iran na to destroy their facilities and oil reserves with drones cheesy

Re: Trump: US 'Targeting' 52 Iranian Sites, To Strike If Iran Attacks US Assets by kayjay69(m): 9:14am On Jan 05, 2020
Yes the US is the #1 military power in the world but spending does not necessarily make you the strongest and give you a true advantage. A case in point, the US spends billions to build stealth fighter jets, littoral class warships, the aegis system and so on, these are supposed to be state of the art equipments that are not supposed to fail and should give them an edge in the event of a war. Well unless they are dealing with some 3rd world country without basic defenses.

Russia spends millions to develop missile defense systems such as the S-300 and S-400 that have proven capable at intercepting such cutting edge technology that the US parades all around the world.

If you think the US will lose say 2 or 3 B-2 stealth bombers, or an aircraft carrier or a bunch of destroyers in the event of a war with Iran and they'll keep on coming, then you do not know what you are talking about. And believe me, the Iranians can, if the Syrians using an S-200 Soviet Era missile battery could shoot at and damage the Israeli F-35I over Syrian airspace, then I think the Iranians can do better with help from Russian Voronezh radars. (Israel did deny this ever happened and claimed it was a bird strike). There is something called the cost of war. Just like in Vietnam, if the US sees they are losing they'll just pack up their bags and leave. And this is why other countries have picked and chosen the type of technology to invest in order to deter the US of ever thinking of going to war with it. Think of Hypersonic Weapons, Nuclear Weapons, Submarines et al, they are all weapons of deterrence so that if the war mongering USA thinks it can, they'll be forced to think again.

The US may be able to defeat any conventional army head to head (without use of nuclear weapons) BUT there is a cost to everything. Is it a cost they will be willing to pay knowing fully well if they commit all their resources and lose they become weakened leaving a power vacuum for others such as China to fill.

Iran has an arsenal of short to medium range ballistic missiles that will give the US some trouble especially their bases across the middle east. And Iran will fight dirty through asymmetric means which means this war will only be protracted and the casualties on both sides will be heavier than in any recent wars. And please be reminded as well, WARS ARE FOUGHT AND WON ON THE GROUND AND IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF PEOPLE. The Iranians are about 80-90% United behind their leaders. They may protest economic hardships within the country but that does not mean they want a Western imposed democracy, they are doing just fine under their Islamic rule and despite a truckload of sanctions. And eventually, they'll just become more creative and be forced to create from within rather than depend on the outside world. Also just imagine this, the US were never fully able to occupy Afghanistan and Iraq both of which even when combined are not equal in size to Iran. The US is still fighting in Afghanistan till this day. And that is Afghanistan, fighting the Taliban, a bunch of rag tying tribal warlords. How much more a fully motivated Iranian army who are experienced at war and are ready to die to defend their country.

The US is not stupid, if they get lured into a full out war with Iran, it will drag on over another 10 years atleast. The end result will be more deficit to the American economy thereby making America weaker and China stronger in the longer term. Don't forget Iran is a major partner with China when it comes its belt and road initiative. Iran is a Russian ally, in the event of war same as Syria the Russians will limit American Airpower, that means they must put boots on the ground and I guarantee you that will be the undoing of America cos the Iranians know their topography better than anyone else and they have been defending it for the past 2000 years.

I do not like wars and I do not wish for both countries to go to war but if they do, believe me it will not be the outcome everyone thinks. If Iran is wise they'll sit this one out and respond later down the road. If the USA is wise they'll focus on building their domestic issues at home and avoid unnecessary wars.

The US will be forced out of the ME. Soulemani death was the tribute. First Iraq by being asked by the Iraqi govt to leave, then Syria.
Soulemani had been rallying Iraqi parliamentarians to put together legislation calling for US removal from Iraq. In other words, he was an "imminent threat" to US continuation in Iraq.
If you're interested, read below. If not, wave Old Glory.
Clausewitz wrote that war also exists on a moral plane. If the US strikes as Trump has boasted, it is the sure sign of its decline, much like Suez was for Britain and France. There are many conservatives in the US who are appalled by Trump being co-opted to do Israeli and Saudi foreign policy. And it's not a stretch to imagine a false flag attack on a Saudi installation being blamed on Iran. Trump would therefore have to react. Interesting times.....

Iran should better thread with caution. Trump is not Obama o. Someone who promised to build a wall around Mexican border and also cut China to size. as stupid as those campaign promises sounded back then, Trump has already achieved them. He is no politician, he comes from a successful business background. Talk and do. Iran has emotionally talked itself into trouble. Saudi Arabia won't mind attacking US facility codedely and tag it on Iran as any attack on US in the middle East would be deemed an Iranian attack. The mumu egoistic ayetollah won't even want to deny it. Isreal is standing by the corner waiting for the slightest reason to go all out against iran. It's a terrible situation for Iran, they were over pampered by the Obama administration. When Sadam Hussain was alive who know Iran. Democrats made Iran feel like a world power by allowing them access to their frozen funds in exchange for halting nuclear advancement. Iran has been using those funds to fund terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and hamas and fight proxy wars against the US and Isreal. Thank God Trump has shredded d deal and impose heavy sanctions. Let's see where Iran will get d funds to prosecute a full scale war.

You see, uninformed folks like yourself is reason why the world has gone bad. If you think iran has enemies, then America has twice as more. Listen, Even Americans are scared of a possible retaliation, and travelling to some parts of middle east and europe have been hit with a massive decline. Yes america might have both the resources and manpower that dwarfs Iran's.
But as a student of history you may have to read further to fully understand the power play and vested interests.

During the invasion and uprising in libya, america, Britain, france immediately became friend of libya and acted as the defacto air support team for the rebels. Russia, china would not hesitate to take sides, and trust me, it won't be for the Americans.

Whatever happens will have far reaching consequences, every side suffers in times of war. you all should condemn the violating of the airspace of a sovereign state, its a clear act and intent of war. Soulemani, you can brand a terrorist but certainly loved by his people...

Hopefully this threat of war between the USA and Iran will fizzle out. There is no point taking sides as all parties in it will be affected and it will also affect proxies in the middle east, Asia, Europe and America.

Truthfully the American foreign policy with seems to be too meddlesome. If Saddam Hussein and Muammar Ghaddafi were left alone the world would not be seeing the kind of crisis facing the middle east and parts of Africa today.
The spill over effect of the American destruction of the Ghaddafi regime is what we even feel now in Nigeria with ISWAP.

We also hope that this attack will not fast track the impeachment of Donald Trump with the House of reps claiming that he did not see authorization to launch that attack.

The us is doing the world a huge favor bt u guys don’t have any idea. The us is and has only been checking the powers of terror prone countries so it doesn’t get out of hand. Saddam was a menace and a ticking time bomb, Iran is one also. They need to be checked.

What happens if u live such countries alone and unchecked? They will become too difficult to put in order, terror groups will increase and they don’t follow acceptable conventions. The world will not be safe with such people.
