Hedge Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 And the hits keep coming... Iran-backed terrorist-turned-politician leads demonstration against US Embassy in Iraq ------------------------- Given the level of escalation, I can't help wondering if it was known, to all involved in this decision, that Soleimani was in one of the vehicles. Really hoping this isn't a Neocon victory right now... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Hearing from people who'd know that this was definitely done with full knowledge and understanding of who was in the vehicle. Also being told confidence is high that this can be tied off without more... we'll see on that one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubs Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The establishment media is going to have a field day with this. They’ve been waiting for this moment for years. The moment they can position Trump as an unhinged, war monger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mullahs will have to try to respond -- but we're about to see the fruits of what has been going on for the past three years with little to no media coverage: they've been gutted by the US/GCC and its allies in multiple theaters. Their reach is limited, and their response will be the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t trust the war mongers one $&#@ing bit, and am so frigging tired of sending American men and women to fight, live, die and/or returned maimed only to see the winds of political change shift and their sacrifice be for naught. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True -- though he's only that if there are troops marching across borders (or sustained airstrikes). I don't think this goes there for the reasons stated in my last post.

I think the reality on the ground differs greatly from how things will be positioned by the media and the progressive left. They will continue to push the narrative that trump is an unhinged lunatic who needs psychiatric care and is terrifying to have as president. especially in an election year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
