Pretty deep Ray. Progressives descend into some kind of moral equivalency rationale to justify almost anything. Sacrifices made mean nothing if remembered. IMHO the empty head that leads Canada is a prime example of where we are now. Maybe he will holiday long enough to return with his goatee and plumed hat. Reassuring. Geopolitics deals in harsh realities. From medieval ME and all that entails to rogue countries ruled by thieves like Russia, China and Nork. To snow flakes like the EU and Canada. People who take without compunction to those that bend over and let them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a war that should have been easily avoided but Trump basically opened a can of worms. I wonder what would happen if Pompeo got killed? Trump started a war by killing an important iranian figure which is basically an act of war. For the brave souls applauding, maybe they should also join the military because a war with iran would be more bloody than the Iraq war and I doubt iran will just target American sites, as they can also close off the persian gulf and basically cut off 25% of the world oil reserves. I hope Canada doesnt join US in this mess created by US just like every other wars. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Iraqi PM says he was schedule to meet with Soleimani the morning he was killed Sun 5 Jan 2020 14:30:21 GMT PM speaks in Parliament Iraqi parliament is starting the process of voting to expel the US military from the country. The PM says the killing of Soleimani and Muhandis was a political assassination and that permission was not sought by the Iraqi government. "I was supposed to meet Soleimani at the morning the day he was killed, he came to deliver me a message from Iran responding to the message we delivered from Saudi to Iran" the Iraqi PM said, highlighting that Soleimani was carrying a response from Iran to a Saudi initiative to diffuse tensions in the region. That came after Trump called the Iraqi PM and asked him to mediate. This is a draft resolution so the final vote won't take place today but could take place this week. Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi said it is in the interest of both Iraq and the US to end the US troop presence there. The resolution would also ban the use of Iraqi airspace. He said Soleimani played an important role in managing different militias. The US isn't in the habit of leaving any country that asks so I don't know how effective this will be. The risk is that the US departing will leave a power vacuum and allow ISIS to regain a foothold or spark some kind of civil war. For oil traders, it also raises risk that Iraq's production could be attacked. Update: The first draft of the resolution passed the vote. https://www.forexlive.com/news/!/iraqi-pm-says-he-was-schedule-to-meet-with-soleimani-the-morning-he-was-killed-20200105 Edited January 5, 2020 by nuckin_futz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Warhippy Posted January 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2020 So to sum up. Iran. Iraq. The house of Saud. All make mention it state that the killed person was asked to meet at point x. That the target was in fact mediating dispute resolution. That the US killed him in cold blood after asking to meet. The Iraqi government has now asked the US to GTFO. Thousands of lives lost, trillions wasted. And any hope of the US ever being trusted again in theME shattered. Now Trump is threatening Iranian cultural sites. Sites sensitive to Muslims around the world. But also important to historians and archeological research. Which is in fact a crime of the same nature the US attempted to try ISIS agents for committing You cannot write this kind of stuff. On a brighter note, Trump supporters suddenly believe US intelligence agencies... 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do need a regime change in Iran No Doubt I mean look what they did to that Canadian journalists a number of years back they are a terrible Nation even their people want a regime change.
