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. Link to comment

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. 1 Link to comment
RedDenver Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 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. Link to comment

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. Link to comment

TGHusker Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 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" 1 Link to comment
