Iranian General Sulemain and others reported killed in Baghdad airstrike

[Templar 331]

Kinda funny how he did manage to get the usa out of Iraq(kicked out mind you), unlike his predecessors who kept sending you guys back in.

We left during Obama but returned when ISIS became an issue for Iraq.

If you can't understand the difference between a military installment that happens to be in a culturally significant area and a historic culturally protected site you shouldn't be in charge of anything.

Saying you're going to take out major cultural sites because they're cultural sites, not for their military value, is a massive-ass problem. Saying you're targeting them BECAUSE they're cultural sites makes you no better than ISIS. Riling up a population to do so because it'll "hurt morale" should result in instant removal from office for trying to incite war crimes.

It's not hard. Active military installation? Valid target, but if it's say... the pantheon, maybe try to see what other options exist before flattening it. The pantheon, without anyone but tourists? Go take a good hard look at yourself and ask how you're different from any other fundamalistic sect trying to remove all competition.

seeing he said "you have to kill their families" no one should be surprised by them saying that now

I'm not surprised by Trump saying it. He'd probably tweet that we should burn the bibles if he was told Muslims used them as well.

The fact that other people are trying to say "nah, it's not war crimes, valid target bro" are the people that need to be pointed out as just as stupid. We know Trump is stupid, they know Trump is stupid, they need to know how stupid they sound when they say his shit as well.

Do we REALLY need another World War or another 9/11?!!?!?! This fucking IDIOT @Trump

What is that photo about?

Well that doesn't sound good, considering Iran has been fighting large conventional wars before and such a flag was never hoisted back then?

It certainly doesn't sound good. It's actually scary. I feel like some people in here underestimate what Iran is willing to do in order to get revenge.

"Hezbollah commits war crimes, so it's OK if we do too" isn't exactly the argument you think it is.

Taking out Soleimani was not a war crime in any context in the real world of actual law. Mouthbreathing corners of the internet, yes. Real life? no.

We weren't talking about Soleimani, but the Trump tweets about targeting civilian and cultural centers.

Try to keep up.

You can't perform war crimes if you are not at war.

Acts of war, acts of terrorism, crimes against humanity - yes.

Murdering Suleimani and the other people was #1 and/or #2.

Bombing state officials, at an airport, in a country that gave no permission is very much terrorism. I know Americans like to pretend nothing they do can possibly be terroristic, but no.. it can be.

If Iran retaliated by bombing a plane, General Tod Wolters was on at Schoenefeld, what would you consider that?

[DarkAmbient]

95% confident Iran is just going to talk smack without actually doing anything significant. Some rocket attacks on bases maybe, some IEDs here and there, maybe some more kidnappings.

I wonder what some of these people think of 9/11 and the plane hitting the Pentagon. Not terrorism, because it was Pentagon?

Dunno if already posted, but the Iraqi prime minister has told their parliament that US troops should leave Iraq.

Also Says that Trump called him to ask him to mediate with Iran and then ordered the drone strike on Soleimani when he arrived for those talks, says Soleimani was carrying the Iranian response to the Saudi initiative to defuse tension when he was assassinated.

If true that makes this situation even more damning for the US as their president directly orchastrated the illegal assassination of a high ranking political leader.

if that's true we should deport the Trumps to Iran and we can all hopefully wash our hands of this mess

If they want us to leave then ok. Just continue to get US needed oil from Canada. Work out a deal to help Venezuela. Get some from Africa if needed. All the while work on changing towards either bio-fuels and/or alternatives.

Let them eat their Middle Eastern Oil.

Task failed successfully?
