Iranian General killed by US Drone.

Of course it won't - but remember its all the fault of Corbyn and the left.

at least Iran can rely on Jezzer to tell the world the truth about them

I’ll level with you. I’m not entirely sure I understand the point you’re trying to make here.

You never notice on this forum that certain posters on pretty much every subject feel the need to take a side? They will go back decades hell even to Noahs bloody ark to try and prove one side is right or didn’t start it. You have never noticed this pattern?

The argument isn’t that the dead General wasn’t a **** and one in which had been behind many atrocities and maybe had planned more.

But there’s such thing as a strategy and this is where the argument is. He’s escalated things, made a complete cock up in Iraq and has broken international law.

If step 1 is peace talks and step 10 is nuking Tehran, this action is about step 6/7, when Trump needed to be at 3/4.

I think he does have a strategy mate and there obviously are good reasons for taking out a man who's ultimately responsible for the deaths of so many American (and British) troops and who's brutalised and murdered so many Iraqis.

Obviously, the jury is out on whether it's a good strategy but Iran don't have many options other than pursuing nuclear weapons against America's wishes. If they try and fight the US, there is only going to be one winner.

I think most people hate both.

Are you seriously going to defend Trump’s order of this assassination?

I’m glad the **** is dead but come on.

I will for the time being reserve judgement on Trumps decision to blow this guy away. As I have touched on in another post the likes of Saudi, Israel, Kuwait, and some of the Emirates may all have had some input on this. Either directly or indirectly.

Given Iran has been causing all sorts of problems, such as mining oil tankers, bombing Saudi oil installations, and so on I will with much trepidation give Trump the benefit of doubt on this one. The whole Iran thing largely centres around its efforts to get nuclear weapons. To a degree Obama was guilty of taking the easy option and in effect kicking the can down the road. Israel were never happy with the deal that was struck. To avoid a bloodbath Israel need to be happy Iran wont be getting a nuclear weapon.

The undeniable fact is that as soon as Israel feel the Iranians are close they will act if nobody else does. If they did it would be messy and very likely involve them using their own nuclear weapons. This however would cause issues within other middle east countries such as Saudi who themselves dont want Iran nuclear armed. If the yanks take out Irans nuclear facilities it may well involve less fallout in both context of the word.

I wonder how much of an Israeli boot Trump maybe getting up his backside.....sort it or we go in!?

The dollar and anything attached to it pulls the strings.

The US wouldn't just be fighting Iran, it would see countries around the world start taking liberties whilst America is distracted especially China. The total disregard for life that some Americans are emitting at the moment is tragic too.

Ah right. Yes, it’s usually fairly predictable. Happened almost straight away on this thread.

Strange indeed, both would have much to fear from a nuclear Iran, both will make sure it doesnt happen one way or another.

It’s certainly not the people who legally should be.

Got to agree. People for some reason have decided to almost suggest Trump is a bit thick. Well look at what he has done in his life and that assumption starts to look a bit silly. I think he has a strategy, whether its a good one and from whom he is under pressure to act remains to be seen.
