Who’s Next? Trump Crossed a Line with Soleimani’s Assassination

[AlphaOmega]

Derp derp. I bet you are just so proud! I mean it isnt like you try to push everyone into giving you a soundbite of validation then run away. Oh wait! Ive voted for people who won elections too. Its nothing special but if that is your crowning achievement... ok....

Ive never tried to remove people from office simply because I lost. Dems are actively trying to overturn our election.

Impeachment is legal. Get over it. Its not my job to give you the validation you so desperately crave. This is also irrelevant.

False. Bill Clinton lied under oath and directed his staff to lie. Those are actual offenses that were tossed. You guys don't have anything except your butthurt feelings.

 

[TomFitz]

lol..in case you havent noticed. Iran just blinked. Looks like Trump made his point.

Blinked???????

You Trumpsters are downright Orwellian!!!!

Iran attacks a US air base and it’s Iran, that blinks!!!!!!!!!!

Donald Trump is a dangerous irresponsible idiot.

He just played Russian Roulette (pardon the pun) with every American serving in the Middle East.

Iran is not cowed. it has all but renounced the nuclear deal.

Even as Trump bellows and demands that the EU, China and Russia do the same.

One has to marvel at the arrogant stupidity of a man who thinks he can stand up and demand that other countries bend to his will, particularly since he didn’t bother to consult or notify any of them when he embarked on this stunt.

Of course, it does cement his reactionary base. You made that clear.

They attacked in a manner that saved face with their people. If they wanted to kill Americans they would have. They also had an easier target that was closer, larger easier to hit and brimming with Americans. They chose not to. They were banking on Trump recognizing this as a de-escalation move. It was a feckless attack. The entire globe knows that. Simmer down now...Trump was right again, you lefties were not. Get used to it.

The only time impeachment wasn’t used for political purposes was the Nixon matter.

Really?

What did Trump get out of it?

It remains to be seen whether the Iranians have people ready to fill Suleimani’s role.

They gave Trump an out. He let them have the choice. As you said, any number of large and juicy target presented themselves.

We were on edge, not Tehran. They were vowing revenge.

The way this idiot want about it drove an even deeper wedge between the United States and all of our Western allies.

And, of course, the “iminent threat” bs turned out to be just that, bs.

Trump went from “iminent threat” to codpiece moment in a week.

lol ...hes all angry Trump didn't go war monger. Reminds me of election night.

Like I said, Orwellian.

Trump did go full warmonger. He didn’t force some settlement. There will be no negotiations.

Perhaps you can tell us what Trump actually expected to get out of it. From his idiot bluster this morning, apparantly he thinks he can order the rest of the world to follow his lead and abandon the nuclear deal. He demands Iran make concessions, but doesn’t state what he wants. His history of dealing in bad faith, going back on his word, and saying self contradictory things give no one any reason to trust him, or view him as in any way credible or trustworthy.

And maybe you can tell us what the plan was for responding if Iran had responded much more strongly (or for that matter, when they do).

Evidently, Trump says everything is fine, because no one got killed. He didn’t seem to express any concern for the US or Iraqi personnel who stood in the path of that retaliation.

This is full bore TDS nutter. You think Trump didn't express concern for our troops?

 

[TomFitz]

This is full bore TDS nutter. You think Trump didn't express concern for our troops?

Once again, you can’t address the questions you were asked, so you made up some idiotic tripe about TDS.

The irony of accusing someone of being deranged, when they express real concerns about the character of a man who almost started a war, is clearly lost on you.

But it is obvious to the rest of the world.

And who cares whether Trump “expressed” anything. His words are worthless. Why you Trumpster cling to them after being lied to so consistantly and predictably for so long would be beyond me, were it no obvious to the world that the American angry right doesn’t care what happens, as long as their leaders wave a flag and beat their chests.

Trump’s incompetence is there for the world to see.

Who cares whether Trump “expresses” concern for troops? Well, you talk radio guys do....

Who cares when Trump casually put thousands of our servicemen and civilians at needless risk over what is now obviously, a political stunt.

And who cares when their commanding officers cower in uncertainty because they have no idea where the enemy will hit, because Trump left them fully exposed, and they don’t trust their commander in chief because they have no idea what he will do next, or whether any thought went into it at all.

 

[braindrain]

Well there might be a few sufferers, just like there are ODS and HDS suffers.

While i agree that there were plenty of people suffering from ODS and HDS the number of people who suffer from TDS is drastically higher. At least on this site.

Trump didnt start anything. Iran killed an American they attacked our embassy then thought they could plan to kill more Americans. Spare us the leftard bs about Trump starting a war. Iran has been escalating for over a year and got put in the corner.

The person the Iranians killed was a “contractor”, which is usually a code word for mercenary. (Recall that Eric Prince, the mercenary king, bough his sister, Betsy DeVoss a Cabinet post).

In this case it was a traslator. I have no idea whether this person was an American. I doubt it.

Assasinating a man at the very top of Iranian leadership is not response in kind. It was a reckless, ill conceived, belligerent escalation.

Bullying nations to the brink of war isn’t smart. it doesn’t promote stability or peace, it scares our allies more than it scares our enemies.

And, at the end of the day (for now), it was the Iranians who had the final say.

The American positions was further weakened.

But Trump’s antics did insure that televisions in the US would be focused on Trump, while Putin plays to his domestic audience by taking a victory lap in Turkey and Syria, celebrating the Russian consolidation of their sphere of influence in the Middle East. This in the wake of Trump’s ignominious retreat, and the betrayal of our Kurdish allies.

Trump doesn’t have enough respect for our allies to put them on notice that something was going to happen. Then he has the gall to stand up and demand that they follow him.

What a fool.

Funny thing is that you’re not even putting up any real defense, beyond the usual slogans.

So try this.

Go into a bar and bully some guy until he takes a swing at you. Then stand there and yell while he swings back. Fortunately (for you) he pulls the punch.

Then you declare victory loudly, and demand that someone buy you a drink.

Now, you tell me what happens next.

What difference does him being a contractor mean? He was killed by an attack which should never have happened. That death is on Iran. If there are more we will simply drone another Iranian who they will miss.

Ask Trump.

He thought it was so important that he risked starting a war to “avenge” it.

On the other hand, no one from the US government thought to tell the poor man’s wife that her husband had been killed.

Someone finally had to go around from the contractor and tell her. He was an Iraqi who had just gained US citizenship.

Not only did we show no real respect at all to the man himself, or his family, Trump used his death to launch an attack that almost started a war, and will almost certainly result in the deaths of many Iraqis in the coming months and years.

Trump’s lack of respect for other countries is also evident in his total lack of concern or empathy with Iraq itself, which conveniently provided the battleground.

Of course you would think that, being hyper partisan and all.

 

[BahamaBob]

This whole incident totally exposes the Democrat (Socialist) agenda. Iran and Russia are close allies. They are currently involved in joint Naval maneuvers. Soleimani was a close confidant of Putin. He had just recently returned from Russia where the two met for several days. Iran is the biggest supporter of terrorism in the world. Iran has been arming and training terrorists for decades. Soleimani has been the leader of these terrorists and controller of their actions. These actions includes the killing of countless Americans and attacking our embassy. Soleimani was declared a terrorist by both the Bush and Obama administrations.

Trump takes this POS out. No one on either side of the isle says he didn't deserve it. However, the Democrats are up in arms and passed a resolution that Trump can no longer take actions against the "biggest supporter of terrorism in the world" Iran. Why would the Democrats protect this ilk? The answer is clear, their Socialist leader Putin told them to. Putin's friends pumped $145 million into the Clinton Foundation, Putin's friends helped them put together the Steel Dossier, on an on. The Democrats are up to their ears in debt to Putin and he wants the killing of his buddies off the table. Putin says jump and the Democrats say how high. This is clear as glass.

Who else is Trump willing to kill?

We should be so lucky as to have a president with that big of balls in our defense.
