Iranian General killed by US Drone.

You said

It's been universally criticised. No one has supported Trump on this except his closest circle.

I pointed out that the British Government had supported it and Raab had said the US were perfectly within their rights and the British Government were on the same page.

Your statement was incorrect.

You would be wrong in saying the British government supported it.

What they've done is call for de-escalation and said the US has a right to self-defence.

That's not support.
 
He may well have done. But I think you´ll agree that both Bush and Blair are responsible for far more carnage than him.

That is debatable I would say and depends on how you define it. Their intervention did do more to destabilise the region and indirectly resulted in more deaths.

This guy ordered, actually ordered, genocide though. His crimes are directly worse, whereas Blair and Bush did something that led to more deaths.

Neither Blair nor Bush are as bad as this guy I would argue.

They're all war criminals.
 
Didn’t need them yet every instability in Middle East is squarely rooted in actions of US, UK and Israel. Funnily enough, hasn’t been long enough for myopic revisionism of recent history

“Every instability” is total nonsense.
 
People who start posts with "bless" are almost invariably bellends.
You're right, I was being generous.

Trump speaks at level of 8-year-old, new analysis finds.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-language-level-speaking-skills-age-eight-year-old-vocabulary-analysis-a8149926.html

Just a little reminder of the genius' level of speech and vocabulary from the real world.




Look forward to hearing how impressed you are with him.

Donald Trump graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1968, with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and anthropology. Mensa doesn't accept SAT scores from after 1994. However, Mr. Trump was a student at Wharton when it was possible to derive an accurate IQ core from known SAT scores. Given the usual requirements for admission to a top school like Wharton, I estimate that Mr. Trump has a 156 IQ at the minimum.

"The standard description of this level of intelligence is 'Genius - Exceptional intellectual ability and capable of looking beyond known facts.' However, the percentile rating is more revealing than the raw score. A 156 IQ is at the 99.9905490555 percentile. That means that Donald Trump is smarter than 99.99 percent of the people on planet Earth


That’s from a newspaper as well
 

Define nuclear weapon?

That's pretty much anywhere between ICBM's and a suitcase bomb.

It's likely Iran have more than enough fissile material to at least make a small nuclear device (maybe a dirty bomb, where fissile material is scattered by conventional explosion rather than a nuclear explosion), but they may not have the means to deliver it outside of their own territory.

Still, it's not a gamble I'd like to take.
 
It will come out in the US press. The Washington Post Iraq correspondent is the one leading with it, so it's not just a rumour or likely to be poorly sourced. The White House is already leaky as anything, if it's true that the USA set up a peace talk in order to assassinate Soleimani on his way to those talks, there are going to be plenty of people in the government who don't want to be involved in covering that crime up.
