After 3 years of watching this administration, I think I get the strategy:
Trump is going to keep killing Iranian generals by drone strike until the Ayatollah announces he's going to investigate Hunter Biden or until he admits he has the 2016 DNC server.
Right?

Mike Pence is now linking 9/11 to Qasem Soleimani. As if you weren't yet convinced that nothing means anything anymore from Trumplicans, the US vice president just suggested that Soleimani helped al-Qaeda, one of Iran's greatest enemies. Total dumb#^&#^&#^&#^&s will believe this.

Spence, you posted (maybe in another thread?) “why now?”, since neither of the previous two administrations killed this guy.

Susan Rice was
on tv last night, she said obama never had the opportunity, but if they had, they would have seriously considered it, weighing the pros and cons. She didn’t say “hell no, the cost far outweighs the benefit.”.

United states give Syrian rebels tow missiles which kill thousands of Syrian troops...

Iran gives EFPs to Iraqis that kill Americans

Both incidents people were trained by other country's troops who never pulled the trigger

why is 1honorable but the other Terrorism? :btu:

I never saw this perspective come up when bin laden was killed. No difference except who ordered the killing. More partisan bs from the clowns.🤡🤡🤡

This statement sums up the antithesis of your moronitude in political problem solving.

I’d help you understand the difference but if you give a man a fish he eats for a day.

I never considered attacks on military targets or the IEDs I experienced or rocket attacks , as acts of terrorism

The acts of terrorism I saw in iraq were car bombs in markets attacks on pilgrims defenceless people

There was always 2 distinct groups operating 1 group wanted the US out and attacked military targets and other well know groups who rather kill civilians to instilling fear

I've seen no one saying this guy was innocent

But I see no benefit For the US to embrace targeted killing of other country's military leader as a policy is a big leap from a stateless guy in a tent

When is the last time you served any time in politics Wayne? Just because you can’t understand the benefit from eliminating this monster does not make it wrong. It just means you don’t understand. Don’t comment unless you have been in his shoes.

I know only Trump understands ,, any one who disagrees simply doesn't understand . That's a god complex ...

This is in jest I am guessing. In ancient times when folks didn’t quite grasp concepts they often invoked terms like mysticism and perhaps a deity. Just so you get a better understanding,we just cut the head off a snake. Now the snake can not bite us.

Doing a brief net search, I couldn't find that Trump "largely" removed sanctions. There was an attempt to lift them from one oligarch provided he did some things favorable to Americans, but Congress blocked that according to other articles. Perhaps my search wasn't deep enough. Can you enlighten?

Thats the problem viewing everything thru the lens of righteous action. i didn't go to Iraq to help anyone. I went to carry out US policy. And take care of my men. This fantasy that American troops are risking their lives to free Iraqis and promote freedom is total BS. Troops do as they are told

Not to worry a Trump has planned his next four golf trips in advance, he is prepared to play at a moments notice. Sad that he plans more strategically for the next golf trip, than what he just set in motion in the Middle East.

He cheats at golf, cheats in elections and his foreign policy is via tweets and threats. He will have a lot of blood on his hands soon, his promise to keep us out of another war is gone, add that to his upcoming trial and Johns charities will be enjoying your contribution.

Since I’ve been on this board I’ve only made one prediction, that Trump would be impeached in the house and the senate would refuse to hold a legitimate trial and the 2020 election would resolve it one way or the other, so it appears I’m on track with that one.

Here is another I know I can win, I predict SD being who he is, can’t go two weeks without throwing a childish insult someone’s way and you piling on, when you two are that predictable it’s easy.

I predict Pete will continue to go hard at the right and his battle with the blue font Detbuch will continue.

I predict Trump will probably not make good with his campaign promise to end our involvement in the Middle East conflicts, the sh*t is going to hit the fan and I’d not want to be a family of a serviceman or women deployed in what is going to be explosive soon. If you feel confident with the Trumps tweetIng foreign policy and threatening rhetoric, even going so far as to suggest we would hit cultural targets, then you are as f’ed up as he is.

Pretty much correct. Though sometimes they do export freedom as an extension of FP, and sometimes they don't, and sometimes they can't.

Righteous action in Iraq (Jr Fustercluck), righteous action in Libya (Obama Fustercluck), Syria (Trump probably got that one right after Obama got that one wrong and will end in a tie), righteous action in Kuwait (Sr got that one right), VN (Johnson hands the blame).

John there is a bet between sides on Trump winning in 2020 which was intended to go to you to run the site, to which I believe you said couldn’t be accepted for tax reasons, so SD and others will need to know which of your charities to write their checks out to.

So Iran is promising military strikes, dropping all provisions from the JCPOA and will likely have a nuke very soon. Hezbollah is calling for strikes on the US military. Iran is threatening to destroy Tel Aviv and Haifa if we counter. This is looking like a pretty easy one to walk back from.

Don’t worry Trump will tweet the foreign policy solution, the little rocket man and fire and furry policy worked so well, maybe he can conjure up some Middle East appropriate insults; hey SD your so good at that get on his Twitter feed and send him something he can use.
