    Bottom line, the world is a safer place for everyone with the timely passing of the Iranian Oppenheimer.

    Only the Deep State is in mourning.

    with Trump as president, there's no intelligence in the room to brief...he doesn't take briefings other than campaign bullshit....and anyone supporting the crook couldn't spot a liar a mile away...also...he is golfing non stop since he lost the election...your boy is looking pretty frayed these days....golf and twitter is not the way to run a country or even a life but hey....he's got you impressed!

    The world knows in 2 months it will be a safer place as long as the unelected president doesn't screw it up.

    apparently, a lot of people believe that assassination was an attempt by Israel to box Biden in an start a war between the US and Iran. At the very least, Israel is hoping it will keep the US from rejoining the Iran nuclear treaty:

    * " Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, a veteran of both the Army and the State Department, said it would be “extremely unusual” for Israel not to have informed the Trump administration of the assassination. Quoting former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Wilkerson said, “The Saudis are willing to fight the Iranians to the last dead American. And I would add Bibi Netanyahu in that.”


    According to Wilkerson, the fix against Biden is in.


    WILKERSON: They want as a major outcome a war. As a middle ground outcome, they want a bombing campaign by the U.S. against Iranian nuclear facilities. and as a minimum amount they want to foreclose any possibility of the new president, Joe Biden, reentering the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the nuclear agreement with Iran. And it looks like they're well on that road to success
    ."
    *******************************************

    * " On MSNBC Saturday, Iranian guest Trita Parsi explained that while Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani wants to avoid starting a war with Israel over the assassination, he may be pressured into one.


    PARSI: The latest that's happening is that the Iranian president has come out with a statement essentially saying that Iran is not gonna walk into what he called a trap by the Israelis to escalate and create a war because that is, in his assessment, what the Israelis want.
    But it is not clear if that is the view of other elements inside the country. Some of this debate is starting to be taking place in public in which the argument that is made by the other side is that these assassinations continue to take place precisely because, in their view, Iranians have not responded harshly enough to previous attacks and the only way of preventing future attacks is to respond really harshly to this one. If that happens, however, then there is a very significant risk for a major escalation, potentially of war which, according to Rouhani, is what Netanyahu is looking for

    I'm referring to the post by Maris 61 where he says "Only the Deep State is in mourning." I'm talking about the imaginary cabal "Deep State".

    Arabs speak Arabic. Aramic is a different language that was spoken in Babylon and also by the Jews (along with Hebrew) in the "Bait Sheni" era, which was also of course during Jesus lifetime

    Aramaic...not Aramic was spoken by Arabs until the 7th century...then Arabsswitched over to Arabic and replaced old Hebrew.....just like Iran is no longer called Persia....it's a historical reference...although you're right about modern Arabic....I also used the term Persians refering to Iranians....Aramaic started in Syria. Similar thing happened with Mandarin Chinese....it went from a traditional complex form to simplified Mandarin....both are referred to as "Chinese"

    Iranians refer to themselves as Persians and refer to their language as Farsi. I'm not denying anyone's description just trying to clarify and be helpful. I've known a lot of Persians including a nephew-in-law and several fellow engineering students at OSU.
    Only know three Chinese guys. The first was a college prof. and I could barely understand his English.
    The second was a guy from Taiwan who's father was the General commanding their army. He was a buddy of my roommate and they were in ROTC together.
    The third was a brilliant fellow student with me at PSU where we were both studying Computer Science.
    I learned nothing of these three guys' culture or language. Just learned they were great people and a pleasure to know.
