US kills Iran's General Soleimani

[200sols]

Also, do you really think Trump woke up one morning and fancied launching a drone attack?

Probably, the man is unstable.

Good move, bad timing.

Agreed. Although is there ever a good time? It's a choice between bad timing and worse timing.

Someone must be pulling Trump's strings, I doubt he knew who these people were.

It's about time we took the fight to them and not wait for attacks against us. Now let's hit the UAE where the terrorist cells are getting their funding from!!!

Oh bless you. Saudi and their Extreme Wahhabi proxies are our allies.

We will have to wait until their oil runs out.

TEAM AMERICA **** YEAH!!!!

I cant see this ending well especially since they killed an senior Iraqi war hero in the attack as well.

I wouldnt want to be any of those 5,000 US soldiers in Iraq at this moment.

I imagine he had no idea who they were until the people paid to know who they were briefed him, much like anything else.

Hope Johnson is not stupid enough to get the UK involved.

I fully expect to see Johnson in his pants, riding a bike, wearing a pirate hat and wielding a wooden sword, cycling his way over there shouting "ill get the fuzzy wuzzys" and "they don't like it up'um"

 

[Skillmister]

This seems like a terrible idea.

Got to keep our special relationship ship going for that juicy trade deal.

LOL!

I was only saying the other day to a friend that with each decade something ignites that will set the agenda for the coming years and this might be it. I think it will only be confirmed if Iran actually does something back. So far its always been all talk from most of the countries in that region.

I can't help but wonder if the words that slipped out of Henry Kissengers mouth nearly 10 years ago will come true.

Who knows where it goes from here. Iran has to strike in some way if not to appear weak. Yet they can't risk an all out war with the US. I just hope we stay out of whatever hell escalates from here.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Part and parcel of having a mental healthcel in charge of a superpower.

Just LMAO at his tweets from 8-9 years ago.

 

[nightrider1470]

Hope we don't get involved

Well it wasn't a good time for Soleimani.

Yes quite, but I'm wondering how the situation developed.

Thats what commentators were saying this morning. Up until last night the Iran/US thing was doing everything to each other other but short of being an act of war. That has all changed now and although Iran have several options in the arsenal to strike back at the US without it becoming a full all out war, it only takes one mistake or misjudgement on either side and that is what we will get.
