Is this trump's Reichstag or Gulf of Tonkin moment? He's gotta be looking for one...

Looks like Trump may be breaking another campaign promise.

Ilhan Omar apparently thinks it's a ruse on Trump's part to turn away people's attention from the whole impeachment stuff.

I really wish she would vanish from politics. Yesterday.

The only thing bigger he could have done is send missiles to strike a major Iranian city.

The only question now is how Iran will retaliate. Will they strike Israel or us directly or via proxies.

And to me clearly he's trying to start a war to get himself reelected. All those who voted for him because they thought Hillary would go to war should learn a serious lesson from this.

The monster in the White House has just sunk to a new low and will continue to sink lower until he is removed. Given that Moscow Mitch has his nose fully planted in Trumps butt, I just hope we can survive until he's defeated.

And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

He has wanted trouble ever since he smashed the deal with Iran that President Obama helped to set up. That started to knock down the dominoes......... all the way to this.

By the way, I'm not suggesting that the Iranian murdered was a good guy - far from it. But now every American general or top diplomat is a target for Iran at the very least.

Killing foreign nationals without a declaration of war seems problematic to me. I KNOW that trump's bootlickers and assorted hangers on would scream bloody murder if it was an American official killed by a foreign brown people power. I mean, can you imagine? They'd positively froth blood.

It could be worse than that.
This action could incite extremists from anywhere in the World. Home security in the West just got a whole lot less secure, imo.

Sadly that's just what may happen.

Foreign national somewhat understates it, he was one of the 3 most powerful government officials behind only the Supreme Leader and, arguably, the President.

As an individual, he's an evil *******, but his assassination means a series of escalations the lead to a war with Iran are now a distinct possibility.

Australians have a tendency to understatement

In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29, 2011


I always said @BarackObama will attack Iran, in some form, prior to the election.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 16, 2012


Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2012


Don’t let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected–be careful Republicans!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 22, 2012


I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2013


Remember what I previously said–Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 25, 2013


Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!

And very popular with the Iranian people. I'm afraid we have seen nothing yet!

Hezbollah leader calls for Soleimani's death to be avenged


The head of the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah has called for the death of Gen Soleimani to be avenged.

"Meting out the appropriate punishment to these criminal assassins... will be the responsibility and task of all resistance fighters worldwide," Hassan Nasrallah said in a statement.

"We will carry a flag on all battlefields and all fronts and we will step up the victories of the axis of resistance with the blessing of his pure blood," the leader of the Shia group added.

Here we go,look out Israel.

The strike was retaliation for the US embassy attack in Bagdad.

The message was/is clear. "Don't ever **** with Americans, or we will **** you up".

Funny on how anti Trump'ers conveniently left that particular aspect out.

Not surprised though.

It was bound to go in that direction anyways.
