Welp, apparently the dysfunction and incompetence continues.

The letter about withdrawing from Iraq was "poorly worded" and only a draft, but was still sent to the Iraqi military for some reason.

sounds like the trump admin has no idea what they are going to do.

I don't understand how anyone can defend Iran and the shit they do.

When you have two bullies and one starts to follow the rules while the other is still smearing shit all over people's faces, who should we defend?

Pretty much.

Pompeo’s claim came when host Maria Bartiromo asked about a tweet in which Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said Trump was advocating for a war crime.

"President Trump didn't say he'd go after a cultural site," Pompeo said. "Read what he said very closely."

The Ministry of Truth has declared that you didn't read what you actually read.

No one is defending Iran. We are all saying what a human shit stain the president you support is, and how he wrecks anything he touches which now appears to include the US's strategic interests in the middle east, while also somehow managing to give Iran the moral high ground despite how loathesome their governing regime is.

When Iran's theocratic despotic leadership appear to be the sane rational ones then you've definitely got problems.

Now how's that for Making America Great Again?

[I Push Buttons]

So either most of Europe are ok with war crimes, or random blue check marks on twitter and their 'sources' have been exaggerating things... Hmm.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - All members of the Atlantic alliance stood behind the United States in the Middle East after it briefed NATO on its drone strike that killed Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Monday.

Speaking after a rare NATO meeting on Iran and Iraq in which the United States briefed its allies about last Friday’s drone strike, Stoltenberg also called for a de-escalation of tensions, echoing the statements of some European leaders.

“We are united in condemning Iran’s support of a variety of different terrorist groups,” Stoltenberg said. “At the meeting today, allies called for restraint and de-escalation. A new conflict would be in no one’s interest. So Iran must refrain from further violence and provocations.”

Despite anger last year among European NATO allies over U.S. strategy in the Middle East under President Donald Trump, two diplomats present confirmed that the two-hour meeting at NATO headquarters went smoothly.

They said that no envoy challenged U.S. State Department and Department of Defense officials, who briefed via video conference, over the merits of Friday’s drone strike.

There was also no discussion or criticism of Trump’s list of targets, that include cultural sites, if Iran were to retaliate with attacks on Americans or U.S. assets, the diplomats said.

They won't publicly say any criticism, so as to show unity.
But Trump has to know he can't rely on his allies...except Putin.

Saying a reckless and stupid assassination of a bad person is poorly thought out is not defending them.

If it is defending them, why do you defend nazis?

They just killed 1500 of there own people who were protesting how corrupt the coverment is didn't they? Nice sane rational folk you are backing over your own country. You tweet out much #DeathToAmerica today in solidarity? Maybe just a tweet begging them to spare you?

Because the NATO countries pussy out of the situation and don't see Iran worthy of fucking things up more so they bent the knee to the US instead.

Also, not actual politicians are present in those NATO meetings, but diplomats.

I like how you imagine you think it's either one or the other.
Maybe you should rethink your support of incompetent leadership.

Nor yours i see. Trump is indeed awful but so was they guy they wacked. I guess you think Trump woke up one day and picked some random guy to drone?

Well being Scottish i have my own incompetent leadership to worry about.

The problem isn't WHO was being whacked.

The problem is HOW, WHERE and WHEN.

You think trump actually considered anything about this guy until they shoved a picture of him in front of trump with the words “TERRORIST!!” written in crayon and being told that Obama didn’t kill him?

You think trump had anything to do with this other than give the (reckless and stupid) ok? I bet trump wouldn’t remember his name.

A bad guy is dead - but his death is going to make things much worse.

That was the point tho. Such a brazen retaliation for an equally brazen attack on their embassy.

[Logwyn]

No I don't.

The last thing I want is to be bombing people pointlessly. The U.S. has been destabilizing the middle east for far too long.
I'm also a fucking realist. We're still dependent on oil, like it like it not, and it'll take at least a decade to move forward.

Maybe the GOP should stop burning every piece of international good will? And like, adopt diplomacy?

We didn't murder any Iranian generals under Obama, FYI.

Do you have any other baseless accusations?

Give me a few days and I can come up with some more if you would like?

I am sure Trump had never heard of the guy and then got a good night sleep in after ordering his death. We have already established Trump is the worst. I just find it baffling that people are kicking up a biggers stink over this than the thousands of civilians you crazy yanks have blown into the afterlife via drone stikes.
