    Thanks for posting. Man, this Suleimani guy is a massive piece of shit. Glad he's dead. I just have one counterpoint, though. I feel some risk assessment should be implemented in this move and I fear there was none and our administration has zero idea how to deal with this going forward sans a "my cock is bigger than yours" policy and that's what scares me. Glad the dude is dead. Super glad. Now what. Now what.

    Let's take a complete overview of this situation.

    1. Iran started it with the attack against our embassy in Iraq.

    2. The guy we just killed was an evil piece of shit.

    3. Trump does not read briefings or listen to experts.

    4. Trump has a very short attention span.

    5. We closed all diplomatic channels when we pulled out of the Iranian Nuclear Deal and imposed sanctions.

    6. We as a nation are in a very difficult position with questionable leadership guiding us.

    I have a son in Qatar and friends with kids and grandkids in the region and if we had intel that this guy was orchestrating attacks Americans as he has done for years take him out!
    If you did nothing knowing he wasn’t in Baghdad passing out roses but rather planning on killing more of our service men and women then what.

    Not this time. We go to war with Iran and he's gone. I never said he was a genius. This is the dumbest thing he could possibly do.

    We are fucking tired of war.

    The question we need to give the answer to our elected officials is if Iran retaliates against Saudi Arabia for this, will that be enough to go to war over.

    Because that is where they will most likely attack.

    Well, you know, I'm seeing an awful lot of 'Merica fuck yeah on social media and It's only going to get worse. Worse than it's been. I'd die for a normal conversation here as we embark on a potentially seismic event. Again, if we've learned anything over the last 20 years (and more so the last 12), is maybe we could just talk and try to learn.....but this time on the fly? I don't know man. I'm trying.

    I thought Trump was anti war so he got us out of Syria? Is that not true? I mean that’s what he told us.

    This is a personal attack when I'm trying to have a normal conversation @SlyPokerDog

    No i agree with everything you posted above. But Captain Dumbfuck doesn’t think two steps ahead, and anyone around who might he doesn’t listen to. This was a major decision and will have huge consequences.

    I acually don't give a flying fuck what you call me but you need to be called out. Yes, calling me a dumbass absolutely is a personal attack. Though I don't even care.

    This is idiotic and what I'd hoped we were going to avoid with Bolton gone. He's just made himself a one term president. Impeachment wasn't going to do it. This will

    I did. What was ridiculous? If my original post was what you're labeling as ridiculous and you started the post calling me a dumbass then you're simply bending the rules which is fine I guess but I'm not stupid.
