Twitter is how trump conducts most of his business, so where's the insult..
Does reasoned well thought out debate now only consist of scoffing at the contributions of others while not providing one of your own?

with respect Nicky, there is not a chance in hell that any western country is going to side with Iran over the USA in a war. Of course nobody wants a war. The USA and Iran don't want a war either, but these things happen. For years, Iran has committed terrorist atrocities against the west. They are becoming more and more active, something had to be done and taking out a terrorist general seems like a reasonable step to me.

:joker::joker:

Been listening to a debate on this on LBC this morning it seems a lot of Iranians are glad he has been killed from what they were saying he was a 'bad' man over 1500 young people were killed due to him plus hundreds more Americans etc,even his own people ,so if all this is accurate,it's good he is no more,imo.

no he does not that is patently a false statement

Iran does not want a war, they now just want justice served to those who killed their general


also your statement of ''terrorist general'' makes no sense, since he in recent years fought against ISIL terrorists, extremists in smaller Iraqi cities

Yes I am aslo listening and have been since the attack and many callers from Iran and Iraq have said the same

Callers *allegedly* from there.

This is how easy it is to justify murder without trial, drone strikes and acts of war.

Appeal to the gullible.

According to US intelligence he was plotting (another) imminent attack on US citizens. What do you want the US to do.

If Dutch intelligence knew that this man was about to kill 1000 people in your town what would you want done....nothing?

''If'' and ''Could'' are big words though

this isn't a game where you can just call out drone strikes based upon thoughts

Trump is playing with US citizens their lives, and ironically when trying to save them from what they believe a imminent attack, by killing this general, he might've just put diplomats, military personnel stationed there at military bases in the middle east, and personnel at navy boats there in more danger

Look at his tweets over the last 24hrs. . The last one referring to himself in the third person is classic!

Are you trying to pretend military intelligence does not exist now??

:conf:

your statement was false, trying to style it out wont make that change...

Yes a number 2 to the nation
Evil as hell.

According to US intelligence, Saddam had weapons of mass destruction and we know how that turned out.

That was Corrupt New Labour Blair
and USA GW Bush.


Not the same staff now
silly

The US has been pulling the same stunt for over a century.

I stand by my comment ...his tweets over the last 24hrs just prove what I suggested :laugh:

no just saying you need concrete hard evidence


military intelligence does exist i agree, so if there was concrete evidence of those ''imminent attack'' as they say then yes a drone strike is justified


to answer your hypothetical question, if dutch intelligence has proof of my town being attacked, yes take action to prevent that from happening


i mean if CIA followed their evidence, leads what they did have pre 9/11 they could've prevented the attacks on the world trade center, pentagon and the deaths on board flight 93 of united airlines

there was video footage from the airport the terrorists boarded the planes from, also prior to 9/11 they found documented evidence of attack plotting on a laptop in a motel, at phillippines including airplane hijacking schemes for 9/11

just a example, how crucial it is you follow the evidence

It wasn't 'thoughts' Nicky,they had intelligence and proof.

Evidence of WMD? ..Oh then drone away!!

Terrorists can dislike and attack other terrorists, that's why there's so much turmoil in the middle east...

how did it tiurn out as it was your labour party who was in charge of the UK?

You think your conservative party wouldn't have followed the same path when only 2 voted against it and 146 for it? That's cute.

The Iraq war and the current Iran situation are completely different. For one thing there is hard evidence that Iran ARE developing nuclear weapons. There is hard evidence that they are a terrorist state

Ahhh some sense. Why is it that the same people who are so vocal about the way this country conducts itself, but are now doing their best to portray Iran like they're some kind of innocent victim.

There were comparisons drawn between the female imprisoned in Cyprus with Nazanin Ratcliffe, who's imprisoned in Iran. And how it's all Boris's fault. It's not. It's the corrupt, archaic regime in Iran.

they were not in power and the PM was labour person Tony Blair

not a great time for the labour party tbh and this is their legacy

that isnt cute, its real and dangerous

:skull:

They are expanding the nuclear program because Trump and the US backed out of the deal (that Iran absolutely were sticking by), and Iraq were also sold as a terrorist state with the US government falsely linking them to 9/11 repeatedly. No one is saying it's the same situation. I'm saying the situations are irrelevant, because the US has a history of doing the same **** around the world regardless of the situation.

As you're referencing a post I made, without quoting me :smug:, then I feel free to address this without any tears needing to be shed. I didn't say it was Boris' fault, I said he put his foot in it and made her situation far worse as Boris' words were used at her trial.

I swear Trump could **** a cat and people would defend it, saying it was a terrorist cat or something like that

He's a feline womaniser.

I read in the Guardian yesterday that Iran’s “half-million-strong armed services are the
most potent military force the US has faced since confronting the Chinese People’s
Volunteer Army more than 60 years ago in Korea”. I don’t think so. That was a conflict in
which perhaps 2.5 million people lost their lives. What the West is dealing with here is a
hostile regional power that has literally got away with murder and never reciprocated any
goodwill we have shown. We have let it run rogue for too long. Mr Trump won’t thank me
for saying it, but he has just struck a blow for the rules-based international order.

And I swear Trump could kill Satan and still be the bad guy.:hehe:

The irony of that post is that of course 95% of the forum dont care what he does they hate him as he is rich, white old and American

:joker:

He launched a drone strike to kill someone in a country America wasnt at war with.

He's most certainly not the good guy.

As is Bernie Sanders, but I don't dislike him. I have a problem with trumps sexual assaults, locking kids in cages, trying to ban muslims, his penchant for white nationalism, attempting to take health care away from millions of people. Not because of skin color, wealth, or nationality.

well you must be in the 5% slim....
