We should NOT believe a word they say. This whole thing stinks ........

particularly the timing......and location.

If there has been a genuine imminent threat........they would have sensationalized it . This was a backroom mafia style hit...........done by the POTUS. with all thee extreme weapons at his disposal. Assassinations by the US are becoming a pattern.....and Trump is actually enjoying this. He has a destructive and evil streak in him........and too many are too blind to see it. Because the economy is ok.......his supporters will defend the most atrocious acts by him.....or just close their eyes to them. They do not want to see the real Trump.

We have a duty to defend ourselves - the Reaper was only a matter of time
It has emerged in the past 24 hours that there was a British plan to assassinate General Qasem Soleimani in 2007 — but it was stopped at the time by then Foreign Secretary David Miliband.
Soleimani was planning terror attacks against UK troops in Basra, southern Iraq. We clearly don’t know every detail behind that *decision — but should always be clear about our objectives.
Britain must not be risk-averse. We must stand robust when UK interests are *challenged.

Boris should act like Churchill and show support for our American allies

After a weekend of confused silence, Boris needs to bring out his inner Winston Churchill.
The wartime leader is his lifelong hero, the subject of many speeches and a book hinting at similarities between Winston and himself.
Churchill’s wartime motto was: Action This Day.
Washington needs to know this day who are its friends and who are the hand-wringing waverers.
But urging everyone to calm down simply does not cut it.
This country voted Leave in 2016 in order to restore its place as an independent sovereign voice, not to waffle.
So do we have a view? Or are we still a Brussels stooge?
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo lambasted Britain and other EU states for refusing to stand up and be counted.
Brussels is fair game. It ditched US-led sanctions against Iran, leaving General Soleimani with the resources to pursue his terror wars against the West.
And it continued with Barack Obama’s futile dream of tempting the regime back to the civilised world with kind words and hard cash. Britain reluctantly tagged along.
Then Trump asked why the hell we were funding Soleimani while he trashed our good intentions in a murderous rampage costing British and American lives.
This man was a monster. The Mullahs played the West for fools while he was busy slaughtering countless thousands including fellow Shia Muslims.
Even so, the appeasement policy is still supported by American Democrats and EU leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron who is desperate to retain Britain’s military and intelligence clout after Brexit.
We should not allow this to blur the UK’s wider interest.
With our departure looming on January 31, the death of Qasem Soleimani is the perfect moment for the UK to signal its post-Brexit direction of travel.

they both are acting like terrorists......which makes them BOTH fools.
Apart from that...... WHY is Iran so upset with the US?? ....and has been for years?? Has Iran been treated fairly?/ Go back to when Iran took those hostages...........WHAT prompted that behavior?? Until we understand them and their motives and reactions better......all we are doing behaving like them. If the US proclaims to be civilized with higher ethics ....it has to act that way.......Otherwise it is just a silly bully with too many weapons.
The replacement has vowed to remove the US out of the ME... ............Is Trump going to assassinate him too.......and keep assassinating them as they are replaced?? Sheer idiocy.
as long as there is anger at the US in the ME........Americans should not feel safe.........and they brought it on to themselves.
there will be unintended consequences. There are no benefits to this action........except in Trump's mind.... one being distract from his impeachment. There is no good answer t "why now"......except something to benefit Trump.

Oh OK, Trump is responsible for the defense of the Shaw during the revolution and that provoked the airbase rocketing a couple days ago in Iraq, yeah I think you are reaching to make Trump the Monster here.

Canadians hunker down as NATO, U.S. offer contradictory messages on Iraq

GOP support for constraining Trump on Iran fades in wake of Soleimani killing

The handcuffing of Trump is losing support as more information comes out, going in the same direction as the support of impeachment

Iraqi prime minister says Qassem Soleimani was in Iraq to 'discuss de-escalating tensions between Iran and Saudis' when he was killed - and claims Trump had asked for help mediating talks after embassy attack


  • Iraq's caretaker prime minister, Adel Abdul Mahdi, told his parliament in Baghdad on Sunday that US strike on Soleimani was a 'political assassination'
  • Abdul Mahdi claimed that Soleimani was due to meet with him on the same day that he was killed by a US drone near the Baghdad airport early on Friday
  • The outgoing Iraqi leader says that Soleimani was supposed to bring him Iran's response to a Saudi proposal for de-escalating regional tensions
  • Saudi Arabia, a regional rival, blames Iran for an attack on the kingdom's oil facilities in September
  • Abdul Mahdi also claims that President Trump called him and asked him to mediate talks with Iran after the US embassy in Baghdad was nearly overrun
  • Supporters of the Shiite group Kataib Hezbollah scaled the walls and barreled through security at the US embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday
  • Abdul Mahdi said he personally intervened to defuse the embassy crisis and that the American president thanked him for doing so
Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian Quds Force commander who was killed in a US drone attack in Baghdad on Friday, was in Iraq to negotiate a de-escalation in tensions with Saudi Arabia, according to the Iraqi prime minister.
Adel Abdul Mahdi, Iraq’s caretaker prime minister, told his parliament on Sunday that President Trump called him to ask for help in mediating with Iran after the American embassy in Baghdad was attacked.
On Tuesday, people belonging to the Shiite group Kataib Hezbollah overran security and scaled the walls of the embassy. No Americans were injured during the protests.
Trump blamed Iran for the embassy incidents and threatened retaliation.

Of course he was that's why he was driving in the opposite direction of the Gov. buildings, wasn't that the first thing that was said after the attack if he was met by Gov. officials they wouldn't have pulled the trigger?

Iran Announces They Will Stop Pretending To Follow Nuclear Deal
January 7th, 2020


TEHRAN—In response to the United States’ recent killing of top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, Iran announced on Tuesday it will no longer pretend to abide by the 2015 Nuclear Deal between the two nations.

Sources confirm Iran has already dismantled its Department of Compliance Chicanery and fired its Director for Nuclear Deal Duplicity. “America is the Great Satan and cannot be trusted,” a spokesperson told reporters. “They do not deserve our sham adherence to an agreement we never intended to follow in the first place.”

Iranian officials then revealed that their National Center to Help Children and Orphans and their Department of Puppies and Candy were actually nuclear facilities in disguise this whole time. Shocked New York Times reporters watched as Iranian officials pressed a button at the Center for World Peace and Also Cake and Ice Cream, rotating the walls to reveal it was actually a nuclear research center.

At publishing time, North Korea was threatening to stop faking compliance with its nuclear restrictions.

What war?




The American perpetual war against otherness. You are going to be very disappointed about the USA some day very close. It,s chaos and dismemberment is assured by climate and the absolute ignorance of most of it,s tax paying citizen slaves. Like many previous Zionist projects of the past it,s been hollowed out and rendered dangerous to it,s citizens who will very likely be consumed in great numbers in the coming decade.
