Not necessarily you, but a lot of people go nuts whenever we try and pull out of a middle east country claiming it will only benefit Russia.

 

Well hes an idiot, but I don't see how killing the top general of your biggest ally in the region would make Russia happy.

I don't know that I've ever actually heard that unless it's in reference to Syria or Iran since they are backed by Russia.

 

Russia really doesn't care about Iran that much. The Iranian government is a thorn in our side which why they are backed by our opposition. I think Vlad would gladly welcome any destabilizing force in the region that makes us look bad and lessens our sphere of influence in a negative way even if it means a few of his eggs are cracked. The only thing he wouldn't accept is ISIS since it's a threat to everyone.

A thorn in our side? We have been itching for regime change war with Iran since the 1970s. We tore up the nuclear deal. We put sanctions on them that crippled their economy. We stopped medicine from going into their country that is killing civilians. Id say we are more of a thorn in their side.

Iraq War 2.0 propaganda inbound. I'm guessing it'll save them time and money to use the exact same talking point the Bush admin did last time.

This has me really confused. Am I misunderstanding the intent here or did Trump finally give us an honest assessment of his abilities and spell out the consequences of putting such a dumbass in charge of our country?

 

Seriously, can somebody explain this to me cuz apparently I'm not comprehending it correctly.

That's what you took away from that?

 

I'm fully aware of what we've done. I've also said that I wish we had better relations, because the people of Iran do not hate America. Obama made a huge mistake not supporting their  uprising. The Iranian government is not a victim though.

I kind of had a feeling that was the case. They don't seem so incompetent that they would just completely miss personnel if they were aiming for them.

Trump's just concluded speech --  "I'm Great, I built up the military,  I have a great economy.  Obama is to blame &  is in league wt Iran by financing the build up of Iran's military"
