i think im d only sensible man outdia... I neva knew someone is seein dis issue dsame way as me!!! Most of d coments ive seen so far shows how low nigerians reasons! U.S. basicly atacked a countrys general on her own soil, using a very frail excuse as a backup! He was planing to atack (assumptions) but U.S. ATTACKED!!! tongue



I'm not in support of killing of Soleimani, but he was on a millitary mission in a foreign country. FYI, Soleimani was killed in Iraq by US.

Don't mind the idiot. His country's MI6 and U.S CIA plunged Iran into chaos in 1953 by toppling Iran's democratically elected prime minister Mohammed Mossadeg and installing the corrupt and dictatorial Shah, Reza Pahlavi. That coup was the beginning of Iran's problem a peaceful country. Now hear what the idiot is saying, as if the world has forgotten. We know who the terrorists are.

Thanks for providing this link to assuage kingAzubuike's love for preemptive inclinations and nomadic analysis, fed by his personal attractions and opinionated bias. International politics is not based on one's personal assertion, feelings, hearsay, or beer parlor rhetoric, you have to be very objective to see the larger picture of what is most times at stake. This is not a religious maconomy but ideology based conflict, unfortunately those living in the world of paranoia like KingAzubuike e will always think along the parochial line to draw unnecessary sympathy, now that is cowardice.

But why is he being celebrated by Iranians when he was a 'terrorist'? I really need an explanation.. Any Political Analyst in the house plz
It depends on what you want to believe but to me, I don’t think he was.US messed up big time by killing him.They thought most of their allies and countries would rally around and celebrate but the reverse is the case[except Israel and Uk].Saudi Arabia[One of Iran’s greatest enemy and US greatest ally] said both parties should stop the escalation of tension in the region[which to me is not support].Russia,China,Germany and even some In Uk condemn the action.Pompeo declared after the assasination that Iraqis were dancing on the streets to celebrate the killing.This is all false as even the Iraqi PM attended the funeral procession of Soleimani and even declared 3 days mourning.So,you can see this is a strike gone wrong. If Trump had an inkling the backlash would have been like this,he wouldn’t have done it. Also,Soleimani with US[though through proxies] fought and defeated ISIL in Iraq. What caused their fall out,only time will tell. US should tell the world the targets Soleimani was planning to hit with facts[though most of that information would be classified,some can be de-classified and made public for the world to believe].One other thing,most major news channels don’t call it “killing”,they call it “assasination” because the man is a decorated Major-General in a sovereign country.Only western media term it as “killing”.

It was just a case of a premeditated attack gone wrong. They had no idea soleimani was in that vehicle and wouldn't be so foolish to kill an iranian general without being bothered about the consequences. They realized their mistake and started telling the whole world cheap excuses. They even went as far as saying soleimani was planning an attack on american soil in the upcoming months lol

Brilliant analysis, when Baghdadi who was the leader of Isil was killed nobody condemned the execution because everybody knows he is a terrorist, but the killing of Suleimani has received wild condemnation even in the US.

The man's name was not in the US terrorist wanted list and a ransome was never placed on his head for his capture just like, saddam, udday Hussain, qusay Hussain, Usama Bin Ladin and Bagdahdi.

Killing him was wrong, killing him in Iraqi soil was wrong.

I like ur analysis and that's the best they should go but I think is late for Iran to toe ds way. America will never leave Iran untamed and unmonitored. Perhaps they will never trust dem. Though it's clear Iran will not retaliate in any time soon. They will take their time and observe as the things unfold until they ascertain themselves to take the consequences. Moreover, Iran is strictly Shia country and anyone who is familiar with the shiism will know ao esteem they hold self-sacrifice. They will not care if the war consume dem but they wil definitely respond when the opportunity presents itself.
CSTR2:
One of the biggest regrets in America's intelligence circles is the fact that they failed to finish off China when they had the chance.
Republicans joke about it openly.

They could have finished them off when China was poor and weak but they didn't?

Why? Because China were smart enough to respect themselves and be quiet, and so america never saw them as a threat in a million years.

Iran must copy same.

Iran isn't a push over country when it comes to war, they are very good at it.

America should be careful, this isn't Afghan nor Iraq, they will give them hot chase for their money.

Iran is well equipped, America is the best when it comes to space fight but don't forget the biggest enemy of space fight is submarine which Iran is highly know for.

More so, drones is another powerful tool of the Americans, seems people forget easily that after Israel the inventor of drone(which they have only used for surveillance) Iran is the second country to use drone even before America and it was used strictly for attack, so Iran isn't a push over when it comes to that too.

Tanks is another US weapon, that can only be effective when the terrain is similar to Afgan and Iraq; desert , Iran is a rocky/hilly nation making tanks a no-no for america.

Iran isn't a similar to Iraq and Afgan that is purely Arab, Iranian are Persian more or less European, well educated and fully understand technology

They have large population and big land mass, making it difficult for America with the supply of 7,000 troop it will be hard to cover

Don't forget the nuclear capacity of Iran.

Am not advocating for war but its not a war America can and will never win so both parties should watch it.

American allies will not put their foot soldiers on foreign soil even their biggest supporter Saudi Arabia.

God should safe us from another war cos innocent soul will surely be affected

According to intels and highly classified info, Soleimani was a terrorist even though he was the head of Iran's Army.

We have lots of Nigerian army generals from Hausa-Fulani tribe today who are secret members of Boko Haram terrorist.


As sad as it may sound, Muslims always find it difficult to separate their religion from their profession or daily activities, they will always allow their Islamic extremism traits to becloud their judgment in whatever they do, that is the undoing of the dedicated Muslims
