Qassem Soleimani's daughter warns 'crazy Trump' a 'dark day' is coming

I bet Trump is so scared

Same old story. After the Iraqi vote those MPs present were chanting "death to Israel", now the Iranians threatening Israel.

If they're putting an $80m price on his head I'd be concerned. 'Lone wolf' attacks are the hardest to stop as there isn't always any indication beforehand. Sure there's enough unhinged people in the middle east for someone to fancy their chances. Not to mention the huge number of guns in the US itself.

Would anyone really be surprised if someone gave it a go?

Serious question, why would almost the entire country be so upset about this geezer?

If a British top ranked commander died, you wouldn't see hundreds of thousands of people mourning...

Several reasons.
State controlled media and multimedia paints its own version of world events.
Several organisations can mobilize large numbers and make sure people attend.
Military has a far bigger role in these states compared to us and the rest of Europe.
Many do buy into this inter-faith conflict and see these figures as "religious" warriors.

That does make sense to be fair.

Now turkey sending troops into Libya. Another proxy war between Qatar and turkey vs Egypt & UAE.

Undercard.

The guy was eliminated because he was planning imminent attacks against the US.
It was pro-active self-defence.
It's what should have been done to Bin Laden years before it was.

Seen at least one reporter say that speaking to an insider the case was 'razor thin'.

Numerous US politicians have called for bombs to be dropped on Iran. I remember one was so blase about it he even thought it'd be fun to say it to the tune of Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys. If Iran treated this as planning imminent attacks against them and responded with pro-active self defence by killing said politicians in their own country do you think the US (or indded the world) would be looking upon it that way or as an act of war and the bombs would already be on the way.

Personally I think it's Trump deflecting from his own troubles and starting his re-election campaign by getting the yee haa brigade excited. If Iran do nothing he can say how strong his leadership is, if they do how you can't let a soppy liberal in in such dangerous times and how it's far more important than any impeachment/investigation into him. As I've said before, Trump's actions will focus solely on what's best for him, even if the world burns.

WTF?! Is that Tom Hanks? Getting ripped into by Ricky Gervais last night has sent him over the edge.

Don't be too surprised if down the line the media reveals that there's been numerous attempts to take him out.

tbf multiple foiled attempts to take out every President. Obama was supposedly "heavy traffic" with all the right-wing racist nuts even when he was campaigning before he got elected the 1st time.

Trump has now ordered all Iranians be denied access to the US. However he seems to have forgoten that there are Iranian's who are US citizens who are also getting refused entry.

Yeah yeah yeah

 

[fernandopartridge]

They are far too clever for that but they do plan, aid and finance attacks on US interests via other terrorist organizations.
You should realize US intelligence has the capability to intercept virtually 100% of world-wide communications and they must know things none of us know.

Why do we care about US interests all over the world?

The conspiracy theorist in me wondered whether the US themselves wanted to get rid of Trump

Then found him in his house!!!

It was a suspected purpose-built militarized compound which the Pakistan Govt had turned a blind eye to (It was near a militiary academy too) of which he was found holed-up in a tiny bit of it...probably where he slept given it was 1am local time.

But mock & belittle it if it serves your purpose, eh?

I haven't seen you anti-US folks frothing about the rather indiscriminate rocket attack the other day destroying apartments & killing civilians. Guess that was okay as it was suspected to be aimed at the US Embassy?

Wonder how much frothing there would be if it were a malfunctioning US rocket with the same outcome.

What are you waffling about now Baz?
Criticising a countries foreign policy doesn't make you anti that country.
We all criticise the FA and the football league, it doesn't make us anti football.

Yeah, because there’s regular anger on here and in the west in general when suicide bombers kill indiscriminately in the Middle East.

I can't show you a positive post. I think US foreign policy is horrendous.
Doesn't make me anti American. Be a bit strange if I was the amount of times I've holidays there!

Can't be certain but I'm pretty sure if Dominic Raab was in France and Iran flew a drone in and assasinated him posters on this thread wouldn't be happy.
