Thousands ? Did CNN tell that to you ? Or Pentagon TV that's directly wired to your brain ?
Oh wait, Saddam too was responsible for 9/11, innit.

Reality told me that. A sick man got what he deserved. It's not my issue if you like sympathising with a terrorist.

What reality ? You have any sources ? That guy wasn't considered a terrorist by any stretch, his forces were actively fighting ISIS. And yes his military and paramilitary Shia forces were pulling a lot of strings behind the scenes in Iraq. As they did in Lebanon. But a terrorist ? Certainly not.

There are individuals in the US government that are probably responsible for more. This isn't a moral crusade, this is politics.

It doesn't really matter what the dude did.

What matters is that the president decided to assassinate one of the most powerful government members in Iran without any sort of approval from anyone.

Yeah this guy was seriously a piece of shit. Just because he was a general doesn't mean he should be respected or protected.

There are plenty of monsters out there that should be hunted before this guy.

Ummmm. Are you a troll or something? You just admitted that he was a terrorist in your own post (paramilitary Shia forces) and then denied that he was a terrorist...

This is a wilfully ignorant take. Whether the guy is reprehensible or not, you can't dismiss him or this event as the scrubbing of some backwater jihadi.

There are obvious serious political implications in this that you can't handwave away.

Paramilitary Shia forces doesn't equate terrorism. (there are way bigger Hezbollah executives that are much higher on the terrorist threat list). The Iran's Shia forces are actually the fiercest enemies of ISIS and Sunni terrorism. And most of Iraq are Shia so if you think you'll have a stable Iraq without the Iranian influence, you're deluded. If you don't understand a thing about the present forces and interests over there, it's not my fault.

If you tell me that he got wacked as a retaliation for the attack against the US embassy, that's perfectly normal because that's politics and the principle of retaliatory strikes. But if you're trying to convince me that he got wacked because he was a "despicable scum yada yada" and a terrorist, that's utter bollocks. Clue up.

Enemy combatants and terrorists are fair game at any time. One missile, one target. Surgical precision, no collateral damage. Nothing to complain about. They could probably scoot the wreckage off to the side and allow traffic to carry on about their day.

It's the exact same rethoric that was accusing people doubting the legitimacy of the Iraq invasion in 2003 and the farcical pretense that Saddam had WMDs, remember ? A war that destabilised the entire region and which is basically the cause (especially the dismantling of the Baath party) of today's bucket of fuming crap in the entire area.

Nobody's defending that guy, he was by no means a saint lol. Just pointing out another counter-productive US decision that will put Iraq on edge even more and gain even more anti-American sentiment over there.

But don't give me that "if you're questioning a decision, you're HATING YOUR OWN COUNTRY" bollocks, please. This is "freedom fries" tier of wank. Personally I'm rather pro-Trump, but not when he takes rushed counter-productive decisions in foreign affairs that may do more harm than good to everyone.

And none that will impact you whatsoever. You will still live your life in peace and comfortably, and will still be able to post your takes on CE each day. Unless you want to bust out your tin-foil hat, and say Iran will drop a nuke on us next.

You cannot just kill a head of state in a country you are not actively at war with.

Yes even an evil evil man like Soleimani.

All this has done is make him a martyr.

This is an even worse take than the first one.

The US has made a pre-emptive strike against a legitimate foreign power. A government can ignore an unsanctioned militant or terrorist being killed, it can't ignore a top general being assassinated.

Iran don't attack the US with missile strikes. Look forward to increased terror attacks from here.

Putting all this aside, you're implying it's nothing to think about because it's unlikely that Iran is going to personally interrupt my CE time. Imagine being interested in global political conflict, fuck me how silly is that right
