Also, anyone else remember when the murder of Jamal Khashoggi didn’t warrant even a tap on the wrist on Saudi Arabia for fear that it could escalate to war?

It would surprise me if this whole new imbroglio was done in the interest of Saudis. Hell, or even at their behest.

Well, Trump has signed a multibillion weapons agreement with the Saudis. Got to put those weapons to good use!
 
This dude's foreign policy is on point. All you old neocons and all you new neocon democrats now talking out the other side your dirty mouths can kiss my ***. Make the Globe Better Again.

Score one for Trump.
 
I've seen everything online that Iran's general was responsible for hundreds, thousands and even millions of deaths. Not sure if true, but if he is responsible for millions of deaths then good riddance. **** that guy.

He was pushing back against ISIS. I’m not getting bullshitted again. The infamous War on Terror continued... pretending to be the good guys thousands of miles away.
 
So can someone give me the Cliffs Notes version of what’s transpired and why.

And whether Trump having this dude assassinated was a good move. Open for debate I’m sure but I’d like to hear what ppl say. Go.

They want to shove another war down our throats basically, and this wouldn’t be your conventional Middle East war like the previous.

Apparently this is still a work in progress. There was another strike about an hour ago, and there are a couple thousand Marines unloading in Kuwait. I would guess that if you are an Iranian asset in Iraq, your cover has probably been blown. That suggests top notch intel, probably someone on the inside.

That’s what I’ve got so far, maybe someone can bring some more detailed information and I’ll welcome it as well. I was looking at it from a broader perspective.

The American people need to unite at once and say “F these wars”.

I liked this article: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/03/who...em-soleimani-and-why-his-killing-matters.html

For the best pop culture reference, If you imagine Iran as the Empire in Star Wars, the "Supreme Leader" as The Emperor, Soleimani was Darth Vader. Dude was personally involved in every Iran generated Hot Spot for the last couple decades. It is kinda crazy that they allowed him to be so out in the open like that, considering how much of their knowledge and administration they have invested in the guy.

Most think he was more popular than the Supreme Leader which almost kind of makes me wonder if he was hung out to dry by the Mullahs. He may be more useful to them as a martyr than as someone who could possibly replace them.
