Trump is the antithesis of that pussy Obama. The reasons why you guys hate Trump are the reasons we love him. He told Iran not to start shit, and when they did, he laid the wood. #MAGA

You've seriously got to be kidding me. In literally any other country in the world, Sanders and Warren would be considered centrists. The Overton window has shifted so far to the right in this fucked

You love him because he's a career criminal and conman and has no idea what he's doing and is historically corrupt and is incapable of telling the truth and is a truly terrible human being? That's wei

So Iraqi Parliment voted US troops out of country. If ratified US has a year to vacate.

Welp that is one way to get troops out of Iraq.

Two birds one stone is how it will be justified. Take out one last bad guy while also bringing the troops home although we just shipped out about 5,000 more over the weekend.

Now Iran gets to exercise more influence over Iraq going forward and we’ll be back over there in the 2020’s at some point. Good thing we have a beginner level checkers player while everyone else is playing on the chess board.

PM said in his initial address to parliament prior to the vote that the resolution voting US troops out passed, he would sign.

 

One of the Iraqi analysts on German TV tonight is saying that there will be contention over the one-year issue, as there were provisions in the agreement between the US and Iraq explicitly prohibiting: attacks not relating to ISIS, attacks against Iran launched by the US from Iraqi soil and attacks against Iraqi military (into which the PMUs were absorbed officially last year). He is saying that attacks against non-ISIS actors were to be carried out with the approval of/in coordination with the Iraqi military.

 

Of course, Soleimani via his direction of the PMUs, was one of the reasons ISIS has had its ass kicked in Syria and Iraq, so gonna be pretty tough to pin this strike on that provision.

 

Not that it will make a difference in the long run. The US will leave when it decides to leave, of course.

Iran saw what happened to Saddam in Iraq and Qdafi in Libya - "nuclear capable" ensures regime longevity. Give up that capability and the US will take out the regime and laugh about it. 

They were following the fucking deal that Obama negotiated. When trump blew it up, they stopped cooperating. No fucking shit Sherlock. 

Also, you really need another hobby lol. You're posting at hugo-rates with anastasia-levels of intellectual dishonesty.

Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but I do say no more than 10 to 20 million killed, tops! Uh, depending on the breaks.

And yet after ten, twenty, fifty years from now, when Jesus still hasn't returned, it won't occur to them that they've been duped. They'll support some other nonsense with the certainty that the apocalypse is just around the corner.

O/U when IDF gets upgraded bombs / weapons from the US and takes out Iran’s uranium facilities ?

if so, the US needs to Coordinate at the same time and take out the current regime. It’ll provide cover for the IDF. If that mission is a go, it needs to be 100% successful. Might also make for a much quicker war with Iran.

Iran needs to offer N Korea all they have to nudge them into starting a Korean Peninsula conflict, ASAP. Oil, money, what ever it takes.

same for rebel forces in Afghanistan. Get them stirred up and much more active 
 

US citizens need to observe what happens when a religious minority takes control of your govt.

Tom Clancy called it many years ago

strategic germ warfare incoming. Double check those cans of shaving cream  

The United Islamic Republic.

Damn, Clancy wrote that book 25 years ago. Yet we still took out Saddam in the 2000's and can't seem to understand why Iran continues to interfere in Iraq today.

It's like shit that was common knowledge in the 90's was forgotten with the new Millenniam.
