Current Events > Attn: Trumpers, so why did trump assassinante this iranian military general?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just wondering what the reason was, other than to start war for no reason.

Just because he was there and to troll people.

The same reason Obama killed off Bin Laden.

We could play political "teams" here, but why?

Because he was a military leader of a group of Shia paramilitary terrorists that have been targeting US personnel in Iraq with katyusha rockets at an increasing frequency.

He stole a pieceKFC from trump

Why was this guy barely talked about before the attack if he was so dangerous?

He wasnt Greta Thurnberg so its not like the media was going to cover him.

Is this the part where we pretend this guy was an innocent victim of a foul assassination just because Trump ordered it?

Considering trump is corrupt, dumb, and csnt be trusted with anything, it's fair to question his every move cuz he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt or our trust

Those Mar-a-Lago guests received more warning about Thursdays attack than Senate staff did, and about as much clarity. A classified briefing on Friday, the first the administration gave to the Hill, featured broad claims about what the Iranians were planning and little evidence of planning to bring about the de-escalation the administration says it wants.

According to three sources either in the room or told about the discussion, briefers from the State Department, Pentagon, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence claimed that killing Soleimani was designed to block Iranian plans to kill hundreds or even thousands of Americans in the Mideast. That would be a massive escalation from the recent attack patterns of Iran and its regional proxies, who tend to kill Americans in small numbers at a time.

This administration has absolutely not earned the benefit of the doubt when it makes these kinds of claims. When youre taking action that could lead to the third American war in the Middle East in 20 years, you need to do better than these kinds of assertions, said a Senate aide in the room. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has also said publicly that the Iranians planned to kill hundreds of Americans before Soleimanis killing.

Administration representatives didnt provide specifics. Instead, they reiterated that the U.S. seeks to de-escalate tensions with Iran after killing one of its top military officials a major emphasis for Pompeo in his calls to foreign dignitaries Friday. How the Trump administration plans to do that remains unknown, particularly now that the Pentagon confirmed the 82nd Airbornes Immediate Response Force brigade will deploy to Kuwait. Administration officials provided instead a vague expression of wanting to de-escalate but no clarity on what de-escalatory steps look like, according to the Senate aide.

To talk about de-escalation now is absurd, in a way, because Iran will react, said Rob Malley, a senior Mideast official in the Obama White House. The de-escalation decision should have been taken before the assassination of Qassem Soleimani.

Soleimani was a bad guy, but its not like the [Quds Force] depended on him to operate, said Jarrett Blanc, a former State Department official who worked on Iran policy. The idea that the Quds Force had attacks in the works and now it doesnt because hes dead is obviously false. Its not clear why killing Suleimani changes the threat profile.

Is this the part where clowns on the right portray anyone critical of these actions as terrorist sympathizers?

That "general" was meeting with a terrorist group leader who had just killed an american contractor in Iraq and then they stormed the grounds of the US Embassy. He was literally meeting with the people killing Americans.

He had to go and the world is better off because he is gone. MAGA

This minus the MAGA garbage.

Hamid Mir met Osama bin Laden after 9/11, does he deserve to die for that?

There are a hundred stupid things Trump does daily you really don't have to criticize him for the one right thing he did.

He owed him.
