You killed their general they retaliated you punish their civilians. This is crazy

Iran declared war against the USA in 1979 LOL. And that government has punished their own civilians for decades.

Privatepart00:
That’s more better from Iran unlike USA that won’t accept their own mistakes. Flying over a military site in a situation like this leaves one without the second thought of thinking . Guess they were been protective but had a miscalculation.

The plane departed a reasonably busy international airport. It isn't a military war zone.

panafrican:
Uncle Sam was doing business with Nazi Germany, and imposing an embargo on Japan, before Pearl Harbor.

So what? It isn't like Uncle Sam started the war.

BuhariAdvocate:
The Palestinian question of 1946 was a continuation of Arab Israeli conflict of 1960. America have always be a criminals right from inception.

Britain created or recreated Israel after WWl. Britain and France created all of these counties, Jordan, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria etc. Prior to that they were part of the Ottoman Empire. USA had nothing to do with it LOL.

Shake that ass sis.

This week marks the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, a national holiday in Vietnam better known as Liberation Day. The event signified the end of the Vietnam War, culminating with a North Vietnamese army tank bulldozing through the gates of the Reunification Palace – the residence of the president of South Vietnam – and major helicopter evacuations of American military personnel and Vietnamese citizens.

Vietnamese Embrace U.S. and Capitalism
Yet four decades after the controversial war, the Vietnamese public sees the United States as a helpful ally and even embraces some of the core tenets of capitalism.

Today, the Vietnamese view the U.S. in a positive light. About three-quarters of Vietnamese (76%) expressed a favorable opinion of the U.S. in a 2014 Pew Research Center survey. More highly educated people (89%) gave the U.S. especially high marks. Young people ages 18-29 were particularly affirmative (89%), but the U.S. is seen positively even by those who are old enough to have lived through the Vietnam War. Among those ages 50 and older, more than six-in-ten rated the U.S. favorably.

The U.S. and Vietnam have built strong economic ties since war’s end, reflecting the Vietnamese public’s desire for increased participation in international trade and their views that the U.S. is the top player in the world economy. Despite the Vietnamese government’s single-party socialist framework, an overwhelming majority of Vietnamese (95%) agreed that people are better off in a free market economy, even if some people are rich and some are poor. An equal percentage voiced the opinion that growing trade and business ties between Vietnam and other countries is a good thing. Specifically, most view international trade as having positive effects on job creation (78%) and raising workers’ wages (72%).

Virtually every major American corporation has operations in Vietnam. Afghanistan is fighting terrorists, never an invasion force.

Bagdad , Iraq is 6190 miles ( almost 10 000 km)
away from Washington DC, what is the US doing there ?

There by invitation from the government. Largely operations to destroy ISIS. The US is still in Germany, Korea, Japan etc.,
and the primary reason there has not been a WWlll. The USA got dragged into WWl and WWll, then totally rebuilt Europe
via the Marshall Plan. Europe would have been taken over by the Soviet Union if not for the USA.

Iranian government is well known to be the largest sponsor of Terrorism. That is why they are so pissed that the US took out their Terror master in Baghdad. Even last Summer a couple of Euro countries arrested Iranian terrorists there planning bomb attacks against Iranians who moved to Europe.

He forgot to buckle his seatbelt LOL

52 F-35s for the 52 Embassy hostages Iran took in 1979. Trump is the master Troll

That sounds like something a Terrorist regime would say LOL.

"The Revolutionary Guards commander instructed his top ally in Iraq, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and other powerful militia leaders to step up attacks on U.S. targets in the country using sophisticated new weapons provided by Iran, two militia commanders and two security sources briefed on the gathering told Reuters

"If the above is what makes you labelled this man as a terrorist then you are talking nothing but absolute balderdash. We all know that terrorist are proud and bold enough to claim responsibility for their actions, Bin laden, bagdahdi, Abubakar shekau are good examples, and my question to you is did the US ever placed a Ransome for his capture like they have done to other well known global terrorists?

Was he openly accused as the Alpha coordinator of any terrorists acts and he claimed responsibility like terrorists do?

(Reuters) - In mid-October, Iranian Major-General Qassem Soleimani met with his Iraqi Shi’ite militia allies at a villa on the banks of the Tigris River, looking across at the U.S. embassy complex in Baghdad.

The Revolutionary Guards commander instructed his top ally in Iraq, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, and other powerful militia leaders to step up attacks on U.S. targets in the country using sophisticated new weapons provided by Iran, two militia commanders and two security sources briefed on the gathering told Reuters.

The strategy session, which has not been previously reported, came as mass protests against Iran’s growing influence in Iraq were gaining momentum, putting the Islamic Republic in an unwelcome spotlight. Soleimani’s plans to attack U.S. forces aimed to provoke a military response that would redirect that rising anger toward the United States, according to the sources briefed on the gathering, Iraqi Shi’ite politicians and government officials close to Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi.

Soleimani’s efforts ended up provoking the U.S. attack on Friday that killed him and Muhandis, marking a major escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran. The two men died in air strikes on their convoy at a Baghdad airport as they headed to the capital, dealing a major blow to the Islamic Republic and the Iraqi paramilitary groups it supports.

Interviews with the Iraqi security sources and Shi’ite militia commanders offer a rare glimpse of how Soleimani operated in Iraq, which he once told a Reuters reporter he knew like the back of his hand.

Two weeks before the October meeting, Soleimani ordered Iranian Revolutionary Guards to move more sophisticated weapons - such as Katyusha rockets and shoulder-fired missiles that could bring down helicopters - to Iraq through two border crossings, the militia commanders and Iraqi security sources told Reuters.

At the Baghdad villa, Soleimani told the assembled commanders to form a new militia group of low-profile paramilitaries - unknown to the United States - who could carry out rocket attacks on Americans housed at Iraqi military bases. He ordered Kataib Hezbollah - a force founded by Muhandis and trained in Iran - to direct the new plan, said the militia sources briefed on the meetings.

Soleimani told them such a group “would be difficult to detect by the Americans,” one of the militia sources told Reuters.

Before the attacks, the U.S. intelligence community had reason to believe that Soleimani was involved in “late stage” planning to strike Americans in multiple countries, including Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, U.S. officials told Reuters Friday on condition of anonymity. One senior U.S. official said Soleimani had supplied advanced weaponry to Kataib Hezbollah.

White House national security adviser Robert O’Brien told reporters on Friday that Soleimani had just come from Damascus, “where he was planning attacks on American soldiers, airmen, Marines, sailors and against our diplomats.”

An official at the headquarters of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards declined to comment. A spokesperson for the Iranian foreign ministry was not available for comment.

PICKING U.S. TARGETS WITH DRONES
The United States has grown increasingly concerned about Iran’s influence over the ruling elite in Iraq, which has been beset for months by protesters who accuse the government of enriching itself and serving the interests of foreign powers, especially Iran, as Iraqis languish in poverty without jobs or basic services.

Soleimani, leader of the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force, was instrumental in expanding Iran’s military influence in the Middle East as the operative who handles clandestine operations outside Iran. The 62-year-old general was regarded as the second-most powerful figure in Iran after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Muhandis, a former Iraqi lawmaker, oversaw Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), an umbrella grouping of paramilitary forces mostly consisting of Iran-backed Shi’ite militias that was formally integrated into Iraq’s armed forces.

Muhandis, like Soleimani, had long been on the radar of the United States, which had declared Muhandis a terrorist. In 2007, a Kuwaiti court sentenced him to death in absentia for his involvement in the 1983 U.S. and French embassy bombings in Kuwait.

Soleimani picked Kataib Hezbollah to lead the attacks on U.S. forces in the region because it had the capability to use drones to scout targets for Katyusha rocket attacks, one of the militia commanders told Reuters. Among the weapons that Soleimani’s forces supplied to its Iraqi militia allies last fall was a drone Iran had developed that could elude radar systems, the militia commanders said.

Kataib Hezbollah used the drones to gather aerial footage of locations where U.S. troops were deployed, according to two Iraqi security officials who monitor the movements of militias.

On December 11, a senior U.S. military official said attacks by Iranian-backed groups on bases hosting U.S. forces in Iraq were increasing and becoming more sophisticated, pushing all sides closer to an uncontrollable escalation.

His warning came two days after four Katyusha rockets struck a base near Baghdad international airport, wounding five members of Iraq’s elite Counter-Terrorism Service. No group claimed responsibility for the attack but a U.S. military official said intelligence and forensic analyses of the rockets and launchers pointed to Iranian-backed Shi’ite Muslim militia groups, notably Kataib Hezbollah and Asaib Ahl al-Haq.

On Dec. 27 more than 30 rockets were fired at an Iraqi military base near the northern Iraq city of Kirkuk. The attack killed a U.S. civilian contractor and wounded four American and two Iraq servicemen.

Washington accused Kataib Hezbollah of carrying out the attack, an allegation it denied. The United States then launched air strikes two days later against the militia, killing at least 25 militia fighters and wounding 55.

The attacks sparked two days of violent protests by supporters of Iranian-backed Iraqi paramilitary groups who stormed the U.S. Embassy’s perimeter and hurled rocks, prompting Washington to dispatch extra troops to the region and threaten reprisals against Tehran.

On Thursday – the day before the attack that killed Soleimani - U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper warned that the United States might have to take preemptive action to protect American lives from expected attacks by Iran-backed militias.

“The game has changed,” he said.

Guess who else Trump blew up? Another really bad Terrorist

Davos, Switzerland (CNN)Secretary of State John Kerry acknowledged to CNBC Thursday that some of the money Iran received in sanctions relief would go to groups considered terrorists.

When asked about whether some the $150 billion in sanctions relief to Iran would go to terrorist groups, Kerry reiterated that, after settling debts, Iran would receive closer to $55 billion. He conceded some of that could go to groups considered terrorists, saying there was nothing the U.S. could do to prevent that.
"I think that some of it will end up in the hands of the IRGC or other entities, some of which are labeled terrorists," he said in the interview in Davos, referring to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps. "You know, to some degree, I'm not going to sit here and tell you that every component of that can be prevented."

Nobdy refutes Soros corrupting USA foreign affairs I see. LOL

wirinet:
Here is the complete story of the Burisma, Hunter Biden and Joe Biden issue.

Burisma was founded in 2002

In 2008, Obama and Biden ran and won. Hunter Biden took a job at a bank and filed to end all lobbying, to avoid conflicts.

In 2012, Viktor Shokin conducted an investigation of Burisma, for conduct between 2010 and 2012. Specifically, the Ministry of Ecology granting special permits. It ended with a fine paid to a Ukrainian lawmaker. In other words, the investigation was conducted and concluded, and seems kind of corrupt.

In 2013, Ukraine had a political revolution, followed by Russia invading Crimea in 2014.

2 years after the investigation concluded, Hunter Biden joined Burisma as a private citizen in 2014. Of course, it was questioned at the time as a potential conflict, but, nothing untoward was found. Do note: November 2014 elections gave Republicans control of House and Senate, including the committees that overlook things like this. They chose not to investigate or pursue.

In Feb 2015, Shokin is promoted to Prosecutor General of Ukraine, and gets more corrupt. The Anti-Corruption Action Center was exposing his corruption, so he had them raided... Stories of his prosecutors accepting bribes came out, and then he began firing anyone that investigated it.

Worldwide calls for his removal began. IMF, EU, EBRD, and of course, the Obama admin.

Feb 2016, his deputy resigned in protest, denouncing the corruption and lawlessness of the office.

The next day, Shokin submitted his resignation. Then, came back, and investigated the Anti-Corruption Action Center AGAIN. Protests occured, and he was officially dismissed by parliamentary votes.

In other words, for the entire time Biden was at Burisma, Shokin wasn't investigating them, and Biden was calling for an investigator that actually would investigate corruption.

This is the complete opposite of what the GOP claims, because they're spreading literal conspiracy theories.

The Anti Corruption Action Center is CORRUPT. That is Soros trying to run USA foreign policy.

While the impeachment deals with Trump’s alleged interference in the Ukraine, the case of Trump enemies’ interference in the Ukraine is open and shut. They interfered so rudely in the dealings of the ostensibly sovereign state, that they had a joke among themselves: “The Vienna Convention is optional for our Kiev staff”. The Vienna Convention is the international agreement forbidding the diplomats to meddle in the internal affairs of the state they are posted at.

Some of this meddling had been done by and for Joe Biden, who robbed the Ukrainian state of ample funds; George Soros had been another beneficiary of the State Department activity.

He has a few NGOs there, and the US Embassy under the Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch (another accuser of Trump) actively shilled for them. John Solomon discovered that one of the witnesses for the prosecution in the impeachment hearings, then-embassy Charge d’ Affaires George Kent (now he has risen to the lofty position of the Assistant Secretary of State) demanded from the Ukrainian authorities to drop investigation of Soros’ own NGO, the Anti-Corruption Action Centre (AntAC). Moreover, on March 5, 2019, Ambassador Yovanovitch had delivered a speech asking for “Ukraine’s special anticorruption prosecutor to be removed.” And this woman dares to speak of Trump’s interference!

George Soros had a regular access to the Ukrainian desk of the State Department, to Assistant Secretary of State Victoria (“F*ck EU”) Nuland. It is difficult to separate between the twain, for the AntAC had been jointly funded by the State Department and George Soros. But George Soros is untouchable, for the ADL President Jonathan Greenblatt already determined that “Invoking Soros … is trafficking in some of the worst anti-Semitic tropes.”
