    1. Let me put it this way watch the 9 minutes interview with the Iranian Prime Minister he demolished trump this man doesn’t the intelligence to run this country

    2. Should have thought about that before the last republican administration lied the american people into war … At least in Iraq we had an entrance strategy with out an exit since it was only gonna be 30 days in Iraq … In this case thier is 0 strategy for entrance or exit this is a move designed to be put into Trump’s weekly klan rally so he can get cheers from his ignorant base

    1. Crimdor: Silencing people is not a good idea. There are many good Iranians who hate their government who need a conduit to the civilized world. Blacklisting and censoring never stops.

  1. Donnie Bone Spurs has to divert attention away from that pesky Impeachment Trial coming up ….. even if it starts yet another , endless , costly Middle East war .

  2. Trump had a Knee Jerk Reaction just decided to take out Qassem Suleimani just to distract from
    his impeachment, but in the end Trump instead got dunked under water and made his life that much worse! 🤣🤔

    1. @Crimdor OH Iran fought an illegal war against us killing 5,000 American soldiers and thousands of civilians?? OR did America do that in Iraq? Did the General fight against Americans who were ILLEGALLY in Iraq killing women and children?

  3. WELL IF WE GO TO WAR THANKS TO THIS WORTH FOR NOTHIBG PRESIDENT HE SHOULD BE THE ONE MARCHING IN FRONT ROLE.

  4. Iran has laid out to the world they have finished with their revenge. However, they have no control over the angry factions that praised their General. Wait… Wait… It is coming.

    1. Nah dude, these were just warning shots.

      The actual revenge maybe more asymmetrical in nature (fitting bcoz Qassem specialized in asymmetrical warfare).

  5. Little Donnie didn’t have evidence of an imminent threat. This wasn’t a preemptive strike. It was illegal under international law.

    1. 5,000 American soldiers died in a Iraq war based on lies YET we are calling an Iranian General the terrorist

    2. Yeah what else is new, that president, oh wait I mean criminal trump does that’s breaking laws. And we are no smarter than he, for we continue to allow him to run this country and the rest of the crooked government. How dare we say we live in a democracy or that we are a free nation. All that’s missing is our shackles, bow down to your deceptive government who got you just where they want you. We allow criminals to run our government and our country. Well guess we deserve what we asked for and seem to support.

  6. Symbolic is spirituality motivated! They are smart especially with what we are comprehending collectively here as a spiritual awakening!

  7. Based on Trump’s speech, I don’t think Trump understands this symbolic gesture as he kept on repeating the same BS as before.
