Qasem Soleimani killed: Does Trump have a strategy? https://apple.news/AIN_bc0cGQsGlOjMafOALcw This is an article from the BBC. IT does not appear to be promoting a point of view, but instead intelligently explores the dynamics of the situation Basically, they conclude that trump doesn’t really have a strategy, but that trump was more or less forced to act in response to Iran’s ongoing provocations.
Without meaning to be over dramatic.... the situation reminds me of the lead up to WWI.....probably everyone is trying to react sensibly, but one persons sensible reaction is another persons outrage. It is pretty easy for events to develop an inexorable inertia far beyond anyone’s conscious intent
Obama bombed 7 Muslim countries, issued a record number of drone strikes and ousted the leader of Libya: Did Obama have a strategy?
Anything is better than appeasement. Any smart person with an ounce of brain would recognize the simple fact we are already at war and it was Iran's choice.
Strategy... Yehh, Trump has demonstrated that he abhors engaging in war, committing our blood & treasure abroad. Pinpoint strikes is the best way to preclude war. U do know that Qasem Soleimani was planning a restaurant terror attack here in the US (on the heels of his embassy attack, btw) which would have created a far greater impetus toward the furtherance of large scale engagement - had it been successfully carried out. Strategery you ask - Yehh, take bad actors out of pivotal congratulatory scenarios proactively... Duhh, lol.
I don’t think America shares it’s military plans with the BBC. Obama possibly with the UN, but not Trump
Interesting It was the US choice to back the Shah for decades while the people suffered and why when they overthrew him they shouted "Death to America". The whole situation is much more complicated than that but it is a point to consider when one is saying it was "Iran's choice". They would/are saying that the US did nothing while so many were brutalized by a dictator.
This is very confusing. A "restaurant terror attack"? That information is known how? US intelligence? The people Trump doesn't trust? Did he get it from his call with Putin? Putin is not ever going to be known as a "reliable source". I think it's possible that he's pulling Trumps puppet strings. What is Russia's interest in all this....by the way? Don't they have a border with Iran?
When the left gets over the fact slavery ended over a hundred years ago. How about you? When will you get over the fact that Trump is not your president and America is not yiur country?
You reckon I wish Donald was PM of Aus? As for Aus -v- USA, well, I'll take the Land of Dorathea McKellar.
Did Obama have a strategy? FLASHBACK: Obama launches 2,800 strikes on Iraq, Syria without congressional approval http://www.politicalforum.com/index...-syria-without-congressional-approval.566399/
Were you pissed at Obama? FLASHBACK: Obama launches 2,800 strikes on Iraq, Syria without congressional approval http://www.politicalforum.com/index...-syria-without-congressional-approval.566399/
Then by default Trump has a strategy and that strategy is to not get us into a new war by doing pinpoint targeted strikes.
Did Obama have a strategy? Are you joking???? FLASHBACK: Obama launches 2,800 strikes on Iraq, Syria without congressional approval http://www.politicalforum.com/index...-syria-without-congressional-approval.566399/
So, when we had an extreme left-wing socialist hellbent on destroying our country, you were not interested? Now that we have an American patriot for a President who is making American Great Again, you all of the sudden have an interest in U.S. politics. Why?
So how is your immigration policy these days? Is it as racist as Trump’s? No, it’s even more racist. But just keep on pretending you’re better than us all while relying on us. Do you guys still turn away boats of immigrants at sea who want asylum in your country? Such horrors. Total human right failures by design. But hey, you guys gave the world Crocodile Dundee.
1. The Shah was reforming when they overturned him and the primary goal of the revolution was to steal all the western oil infrastructure from fossil fuel companies. Then right after that they invaded Iraq and took America's hostage, since then they've been causing mayhem all around the middle east. Iran has been at war with us since 79. Goid thing they are impotent.. but it's time we recognize a state of war was exsisted all this time and it's cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives, just like all indecisive long term wars fought with political considerations. Better a 6 month stand up fight with a decisive winner than decades of this crap.
Yes we do, and I am vehemently opposed to it, and not the least reason is its illegality. Appalling. Lastly......where do you get that stuff about us 'relying on' you? Whenever you want a military ally, the very first door you knock on is Australia.
