The War of the Dog!

In my personal opinion, Trump was never concerned about Suleimani. Trump is famous for refusing to read his daily intelligence briefings and probably had no idea who Suleimani was. Trump's order to casually assassinate Suleimani was likely just an attempt to distract the American people from how guilty he looks after all the evidence presented against him during impeachment proceedings

That's a very interesting, different and fresh perspective you have. I'm really surprised there aren't more like minded posters here. Your objectivity is refreshing. When you look in the mirror do you see Nancy Pelosi's ass.

FFS, this is all about Presiderp measuring his dick size against
the length and girth of President Obama's dick ?

Everyone has heard about Presiderp Twerp's dick.

Nothing will compensate for that.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) reacted to the briefing by saying
that rather than showing Soleimani posed an "imminent" threat
as President Donald Trump and his top officials have repeatedly
claimed, the military operation—based on the evidence presented—
appears to be nothing more than a "strike of choice" by the administration.

"I was deeply surprised at the lack of information presented
by the administration regarding a specific imminent threat,"
Murphy told reporters. "We did not get information inside
that briefing that there was specific, imminent threat that we
were halting by conducting that operation."

Murphy said that not being shown more substantial and convincing
evidence was both surprising and saddening, but added,
"I think it is likely because it doesn't exist."

"I was deeply surprised at the lack of information presented

Sen. Murphy says after briefing on intel behind U.S. strike
killing Soleimani.

"... I think it is likely because it doesn't exist."

After spending much of his presidency insulting and pushing away America's closest allies, Trump now wants their help with Iran. However, America's traditional allies now view Trump as childish, irresponsible, reckless, toxic and untrustworthy.

Trump has severely weakened our relationship with our allies. Strengthening those relationships will not be possible as long as Trump is president.

However, America's traditional allies now view Trump as childish, irresponsible, reckless, toxic and untrustworthy.

They already did. It's one of the many bitter ironies of his presidency: his fans have this crazy idea that he's restoring America's credibility on the world stage after Obama hurt it, but the reality is the rest of the world loved Obama and hates Trump.

“This is where having credibility — and having a president who didn’t lie about everything — would be really, really helpful,” Samantha Power, the former United States ambassador to the United Nations, wrote recently.

A president with credibility would be better able to persuade foreign governments to help protect American diplomats and military members who are now at risk.

A president with credibility would be more likely to beat Iran in the global court of public opinion.

A president with credibility would be able to set clear red lines that might influence Iran’s behavior in coming weeks.

But President Trump has no credibility. His political rise was built on a lie (about Barack Obama’s birthplace). He has told thousands of untruths since becoming president. He appears to be lying again — about why he ordered the assassination of Qassim Suleimani, Iran’s most significant military leader.

Combat veteran Sen. Tammy Duckworth launched into an eviscerating tirade against President Donald Trump on the Senate floor on Wednesday, claiming her 20-month-old child has "better impulse control" than the president.

Accusing Trump of putting the U.S. at risk of entering a "reckless, unauthorized war of his own making," Duckworth, a Democrat, lambasted the president for claiming that "all is well" on Wednesday, just a day after Iran's attacks on Iraqi bases housing U.S. troops.

"'All is well.' That's what Donald Trump said just hours after a dozen missiles were fired at two U.S. military bases last night," Duckworth said on Thursday. "That's what he said as our nation careens toward a reckless, unauthorized war of his own making—borne out of his illiteracy in matters ranging from foreign policy to common sense."

Noting that, unlike Duckworth, who lost both of her legs in 2004 while serving in Iraq, Trump has never "deigned to put on the uniform," the senator said she wanted to make "something clear to him: All is certainly NOT well when war is on the horizon just because you wanted to look like the toughest kid on the playground."

Yet, the war hero said, "my diaper-wearing 20-month-old has better impulse control than this president."

"Once again he's been manipulated by a hostile regime into decisions that further their goals while endangering the security of the nation Trump's actually supposed to lead... All these dictators have realized the same thing: the President of the United States is as easy to control as a toddler," she said. "Sweet talk him or thump your chest and issue a few schoolyard threats, and you've got him. He'll fall for it every time, doing your bidding as if it's his own."

"With one choice, Donald Trump squandered the opportunity that existed to push for greater democracy and stability in the region," Duckworth said. "In one fell swoop, he somehow managed to villainize the U.S. and victimize Iran... isolating us from our long-term partner in Iraq and amping up Iran's influence in a country everyone knows is vital to our security interests throughout the Middle East."

Trump seeks support in Iran crisis but Europe skeptical

With tensions soaring after he ordered the killing of a top Iranian general, US President Donald Trump publicly urged all other powers to abandon a 2015 nuclear accord with Tehran.

Within hours, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, one of Trump’s closest international allies, was on the phone with Iran’s president. His message? That, according to Downing Street, the nuclear deal remains “the best arrangement currently available.”

Trumpski cries for help and Europe says, "Well you stepped in it!"

Trumpski pushes NATO-ME, allies say, Who us?

NATO doesn't trust Trump, the Iraqis don't trust Trump, the Jordanians don't trust Trump, the Kurds don't trust Trump.

Trump has spent years betraying our allies and proving himself to be untrustworthy. Now, none of our allies want anything to do with him.

Trump claimed that he had to assassinate Soleimani as Soleimani was about to launch a terrorist attack on Americans. Mike Pence claims that intelligence exists that proves Soliemani had to be killed right away, however, that intelligence can never be shared with members of Congress, because that intelligence is "too sensitive".

Bear in mind that there are members of Congress who have the highest level security clearances of anybody in America. These are people who sit on select intelligence committees and regularly get top secret intelligence briefings about worldwide threats and our abilities to counter them.

But Pence says that no matter how high their security clearances, the White House will not share intelligence with any member of Congress and they'll just have to take Pence's word that such intelligence exists.

This is further proof (as if we needed any) that Trump and Pence are lying about there being an imminent threat.

Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi! LMFAO: THE TWO BIGGEST LEAKERS IN AMERICAN POLITICS. They've proved time and again they can't be trusted with national security secrets. For them, they would find a way to use that info for impeachment TDS. How do we know that? easy!... have you ever seen a democrat criticize Obama for all his drone strikes to include taking out an american citizen who should have been afforded due process under the constitution. No!!!!! Because you're all a bunch of lying hypocrites with stage 5 TDS. Missiles are raining down on the troops and SWAMP QUEEN is at the bully pulpit politicising the whole event. Just short of treason and she's your fucking hero. You wouldn't recognize imminent threat is it was stuck up your ass. Why don't you take a seat in the Iraqi embassy and see if after being attacked by that fuckers minions and see if you wouldn't consider an attack imminent. You're nothing but bullshit slinging progressive cowards. You write your bulshit disdain completely isolated in a nice warm comfy environment, like you understand what's going on.

 

[phrodeau]

Trump now claims that as many as four embassies were under threat of imminent attack. Nobody believes him.

It wasn't mentioned in the briefings to Congress, and it wasn't mentioned in Trump's address. He just suddenly came up with four embassies under some kind of attack.

There are people saying that Trump hasn't yet announced an accurate number of anything, so four is probably wrong.

That's why Germany's parliament is about to vote to go all in with sanctions towards Iran. You people have no clue to what diplomacy is all about. You're full of shit!!!!!

No! What I'm saying is that YOU don't have a clue to what diplomacy is all about. Trump's been pretty restrained. The left is OK with NATO going along for the ride and not paying their share. It pissed them off and too fucking bad! As a tax payer and our nation being 22 trillion in debt, you should be concerned yourself.

The Wall Street Journal accidentally reveals the unbearable truth about Soleimani’s assassination

Mr. Trump, after the strike, told associates he was under pressure to deal with Gen. Soleimani from GOP senators he views as important supporters in his coming impeachment trial in the Senate, associates said .

That, to me, is not just a plain truth. It’s not just an unbearable truth. It’s a pernicious truth. The Republican Party can and will commit unthinkable acts to maintain power—like permitting foreign interference and encouraging acts of war, not to mention suppressing the vote and enshrining minority rule in constitutional and statutory law—even if those acts slowly eat away the foundations of our democratic covenant.

The threat was that Trumpski was pushed by war hawks in the Senate? Ms Lindsey perhaps?

 

[jomar]

Whew, thought you’d gone fully around the bend because, you know, Trump’s diplomatic skills...

I’m fine with NATO paying more.

As for the debt, Trump probably should have been paying it back instead of blowing it up, but he’s always liked debt.
