similar to our abandonment of the Kurds, we seem to be helping ISIS out

Yeah, it doesn't make too much sense

let's not play the false information game right now, that bcomes an endless rabit hole

True

let's assume the general reporting that agrees is accurate enough.

IT does not make much sense, If what?

what assumption fails if it is to make sense

Failing back on the people that supported us taking most or all of ISIS down - who knows there may be some gimmicks here or there

what do you think Iran might do in retaliation for this?

Hopefully, nothing to harmful but i wouldn't blame them if they did.

We did something worse than them

If Trump was running Iran, what would they do?

Probably do something worse if patterns align

Never ending cycle, until one is wiped out

They aren't lead by Trump, but let's say they do something similar. Does Iran have allies that can assist them in this budding conflict?

Possibly Russia

But I am not sure on Putin's current stance on them

damn I woulda won the bet on who it was

```The Russian state bank VTB underwrote loans to Donald Trump via Deutsche Bank. Over thecourse of Trump's relationship with DB, an inordinate amount of questionable, mismanaged &risky loans approved by Deutsche Bank to Trump required his Personal Guarantee which, overtime, also lost its value.

Trump’s team at DB sought out creative ways to circumvent the varied protections DB’s compliance team institutionally implemented, & whether by happenstance or by design Trump’sloans became underwritten by Russia’s own VTB.

I informed the FBI of this in 2019.
```

Terrorist general with the blood of THOUSANDS on his hands. Qassem Soleimani masterminded the killing of hundreds of US troops in IED attacks, helped Assad slaughter his people in Syria, was an ally of Hezbollah and 'more powerful than Iran's president'

He should've released them years ago.

GG @Vlad, you just advanced to level 24!

He's been "under audit" longer than I've been alive.

BIG BOI

Wait if Soleimani was helping kill Americans so long ago

Why wait until now

To take him down

Weren’t we starting to pull out of the Middle East. Well it seems like if you want to stay there you force another country to react to keep us there.

Why would we pull out

What’s left to “win” in Iraq and Afghanistan.

defeating evil is a win

So we didn’t win yet. I was told we took back Iraq from ISIs.

We won battles but the war rages on. As long as Islam exists there will always be terrorists to fight

Okay your one of those. Aren’t they saying the same thing

GG @jackpumpkin, you just advanced to level 1!

Just when I thought Trump was doing so well and not going to wars, he does a silly thing like this

Smh

Honestly I thought Obama wouldn’t want war. I at least liked that trump wasn’t a war hawk. I guess the military industrial complex gets to all presidents.
