    How do you believe I am “helping them”?

    Ya, definitely not an idle threat but I suspect it's as much tongue in cheek as it is a legit target list in response to Trump's idiotic Tweeting.

    What did you mean by "lone wolf," and the only innocents are those that don't support war criminal Trump? Walking off the steps for the mortar rounds just to hit Republican barracks, like that guy in Green Berets movie?

    The innocents are all Americans and our soldiers. I am fine with them bankrupting him though — would go well with his moral bankruptcy.

    Still have to explain how they can bankrupt him without committing a war crime. What about the guy who cuts the grass, you know, Bill Murray, if they kill him can and the gopher, can we kill a hundred thousand Iranians?

    All they have to do is threaten them as targets. Don’t have to harm a soul.

    Fun fact: Bombing cultural heritage sites is a war crime, against numerous treaties we have signed and I believe against the Geneva Convention.

    Is anyone surprised that when Trump makes it personal by assassinating foreign leaders, foreign leaders also make it personal about Trump?

    You attack my President you attack me. It matters not the name but that my country made the choice, I honor their choice.

    Really fun fact: threatening to bomb cultural heritage is like all they have to do is threaten them as targets, don't have to harm a soul.

    Calling the chemical weapon facility a baby food plant (see Clinton), or calling a nuke plant a cultural site (probably what is going on here), kind of like the definition of C.H.U.D.

    So where is that official government list of sites Trump threatened to target?

    You called Trump a war criminal which feeds the Iranian government's false narrative.

    Did you ever call Obama a war criminal for bombing 7 Muslim countries, issuing record number of drone strikes and ousting the Libyan leader?

    Yes, we need to stay the **** out of these countries that do not want us there.
    Protect our country, get our debt under control, and stop playing like we are the big bully on the playground.

    Uh, killing a terrorist general or their spiritual leader is not an assassination of a foreign leader, nor a violation of international law, that is only for terrorist sympathizers in the United Nations (of tyrants too):

    “Dear Sheikh Yassin,
    We are writing to you regarding continued attacks against civilians for which the Islamic Resistance Movement (harakat al-muqawama al-islamiyya, Hamas) has claimed responsibility. We are aware of remarks by you and by other leading Hamas figures, including Dr. Abd al-Aziz al-Rantissi and Dr. Mahmoud Zahar, endorsing such attacks.”
    http://www.hrw.org/press/2002/08/hamasltr080602.htm


    SECRETARY-GENERAL STRONGLY CONDEMNS ISRAEL’S ASSASSINATION OF HAMAS LEADER, WHICH RESULTED IN DEATHS OF EIGHT OTHERS

    The following statement was issued today by the Spokesman for Secretary-General Kofi:

    The Secretary-General strongly condemns Israel’s assassination of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, which resulted in the deaths of eight others. He is concerned that such an action would lead to further bloodshed and death and acts of revenge and retaliation. He reiterates that extrajudicial killings are against international law and calls on the Government of Israel to immediately end this practice. The only way to halt an escalation in the violence is for the parties to work towards a viable negotiating process aimed at a just, lasting and comprehensive settlement.

    And Bush, and probably Clinton also but I wasn’t really paying much attention to politics at the time... And?

    WRONG.

    I did the research myself. Here is the tweet... if someone else in this thread did it, thanks to you too.

    https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1213593975732527112

    I just want to share that Iran has 27 significant ports used for military and oil industry (nearly 300 total, but many minor ones in that number) and 25 missile sites. Some of the ports are indeed culturally historic like the Port of Siraf. It's a legit target, cultural or not. Unless you folks that are outraged have more details, the President still has plausible deniability. In other words, you don't have anything. I think anyone doing the math on their facilities would have figured out that we are going to shut down their oil business and their missile capabilities.

    I would say his tweet is awkward, inflammatory, but not a "war crime". Only a heavy duty partisan can make that claim and it's not credible.

    The 80 million dollar bounty is a total joke.

    It is based on each Iranian citizens donating $1 each. Good luck collecting, not to mention the Iranians who supported the killing of the terrorist commander Soleimani.

    Something important to Iran and Iran's culture, culture being defined since Carter (Great Satan) as threatening death to nations for decades, might be any military site.

    This is the first list I’ve seen detailing potential targets. Thanks for providing the info.
    I have a lot of issues with Trump. Thanks for removing “Planning war crimes” from the list.

    Now that you have watered it down considerably, Trump is smelling like a rose compared to Clinton running out of cruise missiles.

    If he actually does it, we can all talk. Trump has many faults, but this one is fabricated.

    Maybe a little bit of fabrication, though:

    "We have ... targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture"

    Leaves a lot to be desired as far as messages from the president go.
    Again, glad to hear he’s not planning war crimes.

    I think he pulls that crap on purpose, just to get these responses. Then when he doesn't line step, he gets to throw it back in those that fell for it faces, like Jim Acosta, Maddow, etc. It is a crappy thing to do. Yep! Is it effective for his political career... Yep!

    Too many on the Left keep taking the bait. He owns those types. It's the classic Liberals like Jimmy Dore, Tulsi Gabbard, that know his game and nail him properly without getting caught up in the projection semantics game.
