Sen. Booker: ‘This President Has No Larger Strategic Plan” In Middle East | The Last Word | MSNBC
Cadet Bonespurs may have bitten off more than he can chew this time…
Bud Fudlacker clearly here the point is not whether you served but rather did you use your rich daddy to dodge the draft and get out of even having to serve
Put trumps head on a plater give it to iran for peace
@Pub Comrad YES, he did!
Even though the u.s. has a very powerful military, the Iranians are no joke, plus Russia may back them up if this thing goes south. trump is out if his league me thinks. I dearly hope peace prevails here. I 🙏✌
@Michael Petrovich
No fkn use to Israel.
@John Is going to make you mad
John is going to be the first to enlist, so
Fk ooff
Dan Johnston so with that logic Obama had us in three wars and bombed 7 different country. He must of been mentally challenged, by your logic he
peace is not going to happen, these people are TRULY LOYAL to their commander in chief……..second the the highest
@John Is going to make you mad
Wow, where did that come from? I really feel sorry for people like you, nothing decent to say.
Take care and try to mellow out man..too much coffee maybe?
America loves a good shoot out. If you can’t do it at home with gun violence you might aswell go abroad with the missiles and tanks eh?
@Justice Boofer And now you are making veiled threats at me personally… I’m not above hunting you down and taking you to court.
I can only assume that you might have the means to carry out your statement. I live in Florida, a “Stand Your Ground” state.
@Justice Boofer Publicly Threatening to murder a fellow citizen. Good for you.
@Nevyn of OZ 1973 I’ll grind your bones to make my bread 🧟
@Justice Boofer You are a cowardly little seppo serf. If you think you could possibly survive an encounter with me, you should speak to my father, i will give you the map but you have to buy your own shovel.
Don’t forget the Tmp administration abandoned their Kurd alliances
This soleimani guy is very popular today…i mean he literally just blew up overnight
ako tairi unlikely, but war by proxy is nothing new.
Ian G No. And this foray with Iran is potentially a disaster with an impulsive, not very bright individual voted in by similarly benighted, badly educated males and folks who just didn’t like Hillary Clinton. Hillary would not have tossed NATO. She. Is a lot more intelligent than Trump, and more cautious.
ako tairi Thank you for your information . That doesn’t change the fact that Erdogan is awful, Syria deserves better. Yes, The Kurds, like other countries, lost their homeland.
Randy Cleveland would you please God pet a lid on this liberal resentment. Soooo boring.
Can’t say this will help hump’s situation.
Nothing will help his situation. He’s a traitorous, lying sociopath and he’s obviously off his meds
Colleen Firth: If wishes were horses…..beggars would ride! Hahaha!
Sure he does. Start a regional war with Iran to lift up the oil price that Vlad needs to stay above 100 to maintain the sick man of Europe aging Russia. His buddies in US defense industry and Israel will also benefit.
@Individual 1 The West will collapse before Russia does.
It is inevitable.
I wish I could see your facial expressions when you realize this.
Everything the orange dump does is for Putin.
@Individual 1 How do you know, you live in Europe ?
No more flying, no more plubic gathering of any kind. Stay away from large building. They will retaliate… Trump just diminish/ putting all Americans lives at risk. Trump my son’s won’t be fighting your war. Trump and his family should be first in line, then all the republicans in office, followed by all his supporters. This buffoon is beyond incompetent, unable and to govern. Obama was America’s blessing and now trump and his administration is our curse. They will be the death of this country.. I’m kids won’t be fighting your war.
John Is going to make you mad Guess you enrolled today, didn’t you? Or are you too afraid?
Nadia Naomi Brown-Wotrang great comment!!
@freeesurfer I’m definitely not afraid, this is concerning, this is when your common sense should kicks in.
Did he ever? He’s making it up as he goes … As per usual…
@David Skeffington I believe the exact opposite!
lol thats not true , like u know lol
@Utha no he was not right, wrong, Obama dropped 100k drone bombs in the east , didnt u get the memo lol oh and gave Iran a path to nukes, death to america , who said that , u idiots , u brainwashed clowns , so many of ya
Food for thought: The kurds in syria were the driving force in defeating ISIS in Syria. The Iranians, especially this general, were the driving force in defeating ISIS in Iraq. See a trend here?
@Rodney Boehner Neither do ‘they’. That’s what ISIS do and he was going after ISIS so your comment makes no sense. I don’t like the enemy but if you hate them so much I hope you’ve enlisted. If you want a war – go do it. Trump has caused this but his kids won’t be enlisted will they? The General at least lead from the front instead of hiding behind a desk while others were being killed.
@Rodney Boehner and Rodney your hole is in your head that’s why your brain fell out.
@Rodney Boehner Add waging illegal war to impeachment articles.
@Rodney Boehner
So not only did Obama bomb them so much we ran out of bombs
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/the-anti-isis-airstrikes-the-right-chooses-ignore
https://www.cnn.com/2015/12/04/politics/air-force-20000-bombs-missiles-isis/index.html
Obama went back in time to 1999 when ISIS formed
More delusional insanity from a donkeypunched drumpffuhrer fellator imbecile
Wipe your chin, you have orange smegma all over your face
Trump just killed someone travelling under a diplomatic passport. That is more than an act of war. Trump’s actions should be condemned. Trump is a war criminal.
@Bilan Gumus any action that targets non-combatants I oppose. The question is, is that the status quo, or an outlaying case.
Z Don’t think that this will end anything, we have made a martyr of this man, a lot more lives, US and Allies, will be lost. It was over the top stupid and a war that we didn’t want to get into. We now have to get into a maximum defense mode. This may be something that will happen more personally to all of us. He got us out of northern Syria and maybe into a war.
@Jason m iraqis literally celebrated when they found out he was dead.
@Z It is a status quo. Stop playing intellectual games with words to escape facts. The fact is that you are celebrating the dead of a ”murderer” while you don’t seem to see that by doing that you defend the same piece of the coin. Don’t act like the US is the bringer of piece in the world. Even the dumbest human nows that every war since the 50ths were for oil and weapon experiments. Don’t speak like you just got rid of a terrorist. You just created a monster.
@Salvatore Patterson wow, you are so wrong man… it’s startling. We killed a Terrorist probably the #1 terrorist in the world. That’s a great victory for the US! You think Iran – the biggest state sponsor of terror in the world – would act any differently if their best military strategist was still planning more attacks? Are you daft? They are bad actors doing bad things all over the world. They would have, and will continue to behave as they already and always have been behaving. Your judgement is deeply and fundamentally flawed, if you think terrorists, would stop doing terror if we just left them alone. That is what you are suggesting. You realize that right?. By your completely backwards reasoning, we shouldn’t have killed Osama Bin Laden, because Al Qaeda might do something bad? You fight the bad guys, not let them live in luxury. Get that? What do you think every single Iranian asset in the world is thinking when they fall asleep? I’ll tell you: “am I safe?” If we can get their #1 guy, we can get ANY OF THEM. Please get some military friends who can educate you on tactics and how the world actually works. You gotta go back to the intellectual drawing board man, you seem really lost.
What did America think was going to happen this war was instigated by the US . To blame Iran is ludicrous, ever since Trump got into the White House the war drums have been beating against Iran .
wow so you take iran side against usa sick hope you are like 15 yrs old
and trump has the biggest drum………
@David Goldman Have you signed up to defend your brittle honor yet little boy . Ten seconds it took for you right-wingers to join deep state .
How to distract from my impending impeachment,with more details coming out daily I need to drown this….🤔 I know,a war,that’ll do it!
John Is going to make you mad he already has been impeached it’s just a matter of removal. Read it research it it’s not that hard we have the Internet it actually reads it for you. Because I think you might need help understanding it if it’s read to you
Trump threw an anti-impeachment tantrum. Get him out before he kills us all!
@John Is going to make you mad not challenged not freaking out..there is War..War..War..all over the world.Just hate to see destruction and killing. Things gotta change for Earth and Humans Before All is Gone. Thats just how it is and getting worse with time. All about Power and Greed. Just tired of the chaos everytime you turn on the News.
@Debra Blasus they cant be peace when its the devils realm..(live:evil )
@John Is going to make you mad yeah because pulling out of those wars would have left a power vacuum that ISIS was trying to fill. Pulling us out would have resulted in ISIS completely dominating Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.
@ T McAuliffe: An ”anti-impeachment tantrum”.That’s precisely what this assassination is.Soon the calls will come not to get rid of a sitting president during a time of conflict.The senate trial is due soon,so provoking a crisis is a tactic by Trump and his team.
@Philip Marsden not to mention the war time powers he would acquire if we do end up going to war.
CAN’T Y’ALL SEE EVERYTHING IS FOR RUSSIAN
@Russel Bamberry however, Putin still gains advantage in his share,
@Russel Bamberry
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/10/putin-russia-syria-oil-prices
@thewanderandhiscomp So your concerned that Putin himself gets more money? That means what to the U.S? He dies a bit richer in a decade or so? The guy lives in a palace and is given whatever he wants for nothing,
@Russel Bamberry oil is power
@a. barker Well I think the reason that Republicans are supporting Trump to the end is because they’ve sort of written themselves into corner that they can’t see a good way out of. They threw in with Trump early when he was popular with many Republican voters because they wanted to hop on that gravy train of support and also secure the presidency for their party. But now they can’t untie themselves from him without appearing like political traitors to Trump’s supporters. As they say, when you spend long enough wearing a mask, it can be hard to take it off
“This President Has No Larger Strategic Plan” … You can expect some angry tweets…
Do you think that USA attacked only today? United States is bombing countries in a per year basis since 1943
It’s called the Tweety Bird Plan…. ;o)
but that is all…….just angry tweets and tantrums………
When he was running for president he said he had the perfect plan for the middle East (but wouldn’t divulge)
So, no need to worry.
He’s got this. (S)
THAT IS A RECKLESS STEP TO TAKE IN ORDER TO SHIFT THE CONVERSATION AWAY FROM REMOVAL FROM OFFICE AFTER IMPEACHMENT
Somebody has been around long enough to see through Trump’s BS.
This was predicted a long time ago.
Trump 2020😀
Magda Garshol,your comment was exactly what I was thinking, thank you
The stated aim is to dissuade Iran from taking provocative actions, the result is going to be the exact opposite. Its the nuclear deal all over again, amateurs who haven’t got a clue what they are doing and don’t have a clear end game.
Send trumps kids along with all trump supporters to the front lines
Invite Ivanka too !
When their children come back dead will they still support him
Every last one are cowards they won’t go , they will say bone marrow or something 🤭🤣
I love this statement. Majority of men and women with military uniforms are not rich. If there is a war, many will die while Trump’s children enjoying their lives.
The question is, “how far is trump willing to go?”; because Iran is certain to retaliate.
Putin will tell him what to do. As usual. He’s probably on the phone with him right now.
I thought Trump ran on the promise of “no more foreign wars..?” Yet another promise broken by Trump. *LOCK HIM UP.*
