Mark F Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) blowback. https://apnews.com/e043255bd33ab318f71d1947716a5b94 TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The blowback over the U.S. killing of a top Iranian general mounted Sunday as Iran announced it will no longer abide by the limits contained in the 2015 nuclear deal and Iraq’s Parliament called for the expulsion of all American troops from Iraqi soil. The twin developments could bring Iran closer to building an atomic bomb and enable the Islamic State group to stage a comeback in Iraq, making the Middle East a far more dangerous and unstable place. Adding to the tensions, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to demand billions of dollars in compensation from Iraq or impose “sanctions like they’ve never seen before” if it goes through with expelling U.S. troops. Iranian state television cited a statement by President Hassan Rouhani’s administration saying the country would not observe the nuclear deal’s restrictions on fuel enrichment, on the size of its enriched uranium stockpile and on its research and development activities. “The Islamic Republic of Iran no longer faces any limitations in operations,” a state TV broadcaster said. ie, back to working on nuclear weapons. Feel safer Israel, Saudi, American people? Clueless idiotic moron Trump. as are all of his supporters including those Trump loving deplorables that post here.

Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 Interesting article on the lead up to this monumental **** up. Quote top American military officials put the option of killing him — which they viewed as the most extreme response to recent Iranian-led violence in Iraq — on the menu they presented to President Trump. They didn’t think he would take it. In the wars waged since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Pentagon officials have often offered improbable options to presidents to make other possibilities appear more palatable. By late Thursday, the president had gone for the extreme option. Top Pentagon officials were stunned.

The Unknown Poster Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 This is bad news for trump because Bolton is as batshit crazy as he is but way way smarter. Now the gop have to say “we don’t want to hear from a key witness who is willing to testify”. Hmmm
The Unknown Poster Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 Hey rudy how should we handle a potential key witness like Bolton? Should we perhaps be respectful and try to create a unity? No let’s insult him! rudy is the best ally trumps opponents have.

Can't really believe anything coming out of the US any more. I expect there are some military men who would be more than happy to attack Iran. Quote The Air Force brigadier general newly in charge of one of the nation's most celebrated and elite Air Force wings has been running an online evangelical Christian ministry for the last five years Fundamentalist Christianity has been gaining ground in the U.S. military, especially after 9/11. In 2011, it was revealed that chaplains at another California Air Force base, Vandenburg, were teaching a course in "Christian Just War Theory," in which they used the Bible and Christ's teachings to justify atomic warfare. A year before that, the military admitted that hundreds of thousands of high-powered rifle sights inscribed with "Jesus secret codes" were being provided to troops in the Middle East—a direct violation of military rules prohibiting religious proselytizing in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to avoid accusations of a "crusade." Weinstein, whose organization claims 57,000 members, has said that under President Donald Trump, radical evangelicals in the military have been emboldened. Edited January 6, 2020 by Mark F

The Unknown Poster Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 It doesn’t seem as big of news right now because trump has done this before but the US attack on Iran isn’t just military. They are holding American citizens at border crossings including Canadian/US crossing. It’s outrageous. A vile racist regime. JCon 1

Its actually interesting to go back to page one of this thread and see who predicted what. I was trying to hold out hope that Trump would rise to the occasion. Others called it more accurately. Some of the Trump supporters have given up but its wild to see some still doubling down. Mark F 1
