Had this been Obama the same people fully behind Trump would be accusing him of being a warmonger and the ones calling into question Trump would be trying to see it from the Democrat point of view.

This kind of stuff isn't more palatable simply because a Dem is doing it (there's other reasons for such a thing being more palatable btw, I'm not about to say any and all foreign intervention is bad, just that the above isn't a good reason) and goodness knows such things have often been a matter where the leading US political luminaries have suddenly become very bipartisan. It's other important matters where they differ.
Guesty Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 Don't worry guys the Los Angeles Police Force is on the case.
Finnegan Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 Well. I'm gonna start building my bunker. See you all in the apocalypse.

twoleftfeet Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 And to think we could have had a prime minister that would have sided with the terrorist state.

Collymore Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 Boris knew nothing about which can only be a good thing.

It's reasonably easy to find a comprehensive list of terrorist attacks sponsored by Iran. The 90's bombing of a Jewish centre in Argentina and the 2012 Burgas bus bombing, off the top of my head, were carried out by Hezbollah. Not that they are the only country in the World that does that,of course. But calling them a "terrorist state" is not totally unreasonable.
Jattdogg Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 Maybe i should take a 400km+ drive north from this border area further away from the wasteland also known as the USA. For usa foxes, its a zing joke dont be offended...also, dont bomb us
Detroit Blues Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 2 hours ago, MattP said: It is. Had this been Obama the same people fully behind Trump would be accusing him of being a warmonger and the ones calling into question Trump would be trying to see it from the Democrat point of view. Wasn't the selling point of Trump, that he wouldn't get us into a war with Iran (unlike Hilary Clinton)? This seems like a desperate action of an unpopular president whose enemies are closing in with impeachment. I understand your cynical view of this as a typical political act. But I really don't believe that this is a common, bi-partisan tactic. At the very least, given the immense cost a potential war with Iran would have in $$$ and lives, it shouldn't be.
twoleftfeet Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 But the impeachment is going to do as well of getting rid of Trump as Corbyn did agreeing to an election to get rid of Boris. That is if you watch any of the right wing commentators in the USA rather than watch mainstream media perhaps they have a left leaning press there as well. The same press that wrote him off in the election.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 You've got to admire the commitment of those Iranian lads. I mean, if (off the top of my head), Dominic Cummings was killed in a drone strike, would we all take to the streets waving beautifully framed portraits of the scowling egg? I've thought about it and I don't think we would

Lionator Posted 3 January 2020 Posted 3 January 2020 There's not a single country on earth whose leadership represents the people less than Iran. It's a beautiful country, full of beautiful people, led by a bunch of lunatic, radical clerics. I pray that innocent Iranian or Iraqi civilians do not have to suffer because of Trump and the Iranian leaderships dick waving contest.
