Iranian General killed by US Drone.
- Thread starter Millwallawayveteran1988
- Start date
Any kind of warfare? Nuclear weapons? At the other end of the scale, in the 1980s the USA was infamously "on the side that's murdering nuns".Well Soleimaini decided to do the inciting by having a proxy war with America and the UK, which is why he's now dead. I don't blame Trump for killing him but he should have been killed a long time ago when Soleimaini was doing the most damage and the case for it was a lot more clear cut.
What I'm against is the deliberate targeting of civilians in any kind of warfare but especially just because they stayed at the wrong hotel.
Well there's a truism. The point is that Trump didn't think how it would play out.You might be right that now wasn't the right time for it. A lot of people have their doubts (while still seeing good reasoning for it), me included but we will have to see how it plays out.

Did Iran organize the overthrow of a US president in 1953? Did Iran invade Canada the US's neighbour in 1991 and again in 2003? Did Iran encourage Canada to invade the US in 1980? Did Iran destroy the US economy by applying sanctions?
Was America threatening to wipe another country of the face of the earth at that point? Did the Republican Party hold huge military parades with its main logo being a mushroom cloud?
I’m not supporting America in the Middle East but the constant drivel from the hard left that Iran are some plucky underdog, who’s done nothing wrong, as the likes of you and Jeremy like to make out, is fucking tedious.

No but a lot of them historical things that you reference aren't really relevant.
This stems from the decision to go to war with Iraq in 2003, which I was against but in my view still doesn't legitimise Iran's actions to effectively go to war with the Coalition there and not expect reprisals.
Not relevant? Good grief, some of you - beggars belief the standards of education & basic logic
With respect these historical things you deem irrelevant are far from. Apart from the overthrow of Mossadegh all these things happened during my lifetime.No but a lot of them historical things that you reference aren't really relevant.

That's like saying Thatcher's time in office has no bearing on events in the UK now. People lived through it and have memories.
I suggest people in the Middle East are deeply scarred by what's been going on there.

Muslim countries seem to have a major issue with crowd safety.

The sooner people understand that the Middle East cannot be easily equated to Western democracy the better.With respect these historical things you deem irrelevant are far from. Apart from the overthrow of Mossadegh all these things happened during my lifetime.

Our political feuds in this country go back maybe a generation or two. In the Middle East it is centuries, and they know how to hold a grudge.

It’s a horribly brilliant riposte, in every sense, though I too sincerely hope no one is harmed as a result of it.
And it is truly amazing that we have come to situation where actively threatening the business interests of a sitting American president, rather than the government itself, is a “clever, measured, proportional” response to an assassination that provides political cover.
Where are all those that said there was no legitimate reason for Trump and his cronies/family to divest from (and cease expansion of) their businesses prior to taking office?
Its hilarious as a incumbent President .... he shouldn't have any business interests.
