On Monday, NBC News reported - -

- - that President Donald Trump authorized the killing of Iranian General, and the world's
leading terrorist, Qassem Soleimani seven months ago if Iran's increasing aggression
resulted in the death of an American.

On January 3rd, in response to an attack on a U.S. embassy in Baghdad that was orchestrated by Soleimani and resulted in one military translator dead and four U.S. military members wounded, Trump made the decision to kill Soleimani.

He was violating the law and he did it get the war time president juice. He accused Obama of the same thing and articulated the rationale in very specific terms that are very damning to this. Just think though, imminent is this year's covfefe. It means what he says it means.

The story keeps changing. Either way, these mob wars tend to go back and forth. Iran might whack Sonny some time on the NJ turnpike.

There is a big difference in a State killing an official of another state with no declaration war and a state killing a non state affiliated terrorist.

I know for you MAGA dipshits that is a hard concept.

But just think : Its pure mafia as RT says.

Why dont we just take out Trumps boy toy or how about Maduro?

And what a stupid way to do it. A missile? Lots of collateral. Why not go Jason Bourne. Long range snipe with a rifle at least. Deniability. But no Gotti / Trump wanted it to be public.

It wouldn't surprise me if the payback comes for someone in the trump inner circle or perhaps a trump property. But I would suspect Iran is at this very moment planning, watching, and waiting. Trump has to be lucky every day, they only have to be lucky once.

JD on the money. Twitler went after a paid government employee who worked for a nation that we have diplomatic ties with.

I'm not saying that's wrong if the Iranian was involved in an action that was going to kill Americans. But why couldn't the twitler krew, just this one time, put together a coherent explanation of the threat. They are incompetent much like the GOP fan boys on this message board.

Once thing to consider is "was Solemani in Iraq legally"? I understand he had proper documents and was meeting with Iraqis who were also killed.

So, we set the precedent that would allow a foreign government to assassinate someone they consider an enemy while they're in the USA legally. When you start calling people terrorists, it really comes down to point of view.

Is it legal under international law? Is it terrorism? Maybe the USA is a terrorist nation? One might think so after 8 years of Obama drone strikes, and not trump ordering hits on Iranian officials; if you're on the outside looking in.

Is this the latest story on how Trump came to put in the kill order?

I know it changes on the hour..
