that's awfully shaky ground

of course, you know that

The Iraqis wanted the air strike halted until there was more to go on

the murky ground was the Kirkuk attack to begin with

The US ignored the Iraqi call not to strike while they investigated

The same Iraqis that are so incompetent they couldn't protect the embassy

Hi

killed 25 miliia, which set off the embassy situation

All the while, Soleimani was engaged in talks with KSA

that's how Trump's call to Iraqi PM was able to 'lure him' out

he was operating in good faith, Trump talked about negotiating, the Iraqi pm passed on the word, and then Soleimani was hit

lol

The U.S. has guts to kill someone so high in their ranks in a foreign country, I'll say. And especially someone who is praised by their people. We see it as a job done right and the others see it as an aggression

assuming that's all completely accurate, am I supposed to feel sorry for Soleimani?

@qwasi I prefer the top notch Hollywood version of the ME: https://youtu.be/DIlG9aSMCpg

It's not about feeling sorry for him, it' sabout not getting the US sucked into something unnecessarily dangerous, in addition to hurtin gour credibility as good faith actors

somethign we already damaged with the Iran deal withdrawl

of course the enemy sees an attack on themselves as aggression? @Allan_Cruz

and the Kurdish situation

We just fundamentally disagree with whether or not you can negotiate with these people

"enemy" - A bit harsh

Hate the government, not the people

Whether we can negotiate with them or not is a separate issue from our behaving in good faith.
(and we can, and have at various times)

@Allan_Cruz when one side is attacked, of course they see the attack as an aggression, I don't understand what you're trying to say other than stating the obvious

on top of just the the unnecessary escalation with iran , while SOleimani was engaging in talks with KSA

Good faith? With a fucking terrorist who is responsible for the deaths of 500+ Americans?

I hate America, huh?

apparently, because to keep repeating that is stoking a fire that doesnt' need to be stoked

says you

who the fuck are you?

who are you to keep saying it over and over when you clearly dont have a grasp of the events

etc

you are just bleeting

This is just another route to bash Trump for you, plain and simple

We take bold risks.

you are deranged with hate for Trump

Trump encourages the bashing by his actions

I like his actions

If you do something worth bashing, people will bash

and if you kill 500+ Americans, Sh0t will have your back
