For now I'd avoid staying at or even being in any Trump property anywhere in the world.

And the cycle of violence will continue - I wonder why the Great Great Orange NEOCON didn't envision that since he's such a "Stable Genius"....
Donnie decides to take out an Iranian General because his Repub buddies in the Senate want him to - and it starts a chain of events that results in over 200 innocent civilians being killed...
As his closest staff have described, Donnie is a Moron and an Idiot - over the past three years he's also sunk into the latter stages of dementia.
He is a danger to the republic and the world...send him packing...

Wow! Looks like our factories will be making more Tomahawks and bunker busters made to order with full customizations.

The NEOCONs can't wait for a third Middle East war....
More Tomahawks and Bunker Busters means higher prices for their defense stocks....just ask Dick Cheney...
Hummmm...I wonder what happen to the person who said the 2003 Iraq War was the worst foreign policy mistake in our history...
Guess that was just a con-job...

No, but you don’t have to be a sitting duck, which seems is what liberals want. Translation, just take it up the rear.
We’ll jus have to cut more liberal entitlements, problem solved.
And what President was idiotic enough to make a crap deal with a country we have No diplomatic relations with?

Thanks for your analysis Mr NEOCON...
Make money off war...I thought someone campaigned against that in 2016....Hummmm....
Yep, Trump's "Bring the Troops home" promise was just like all his rest - utter and complete BS...and his supporters just keep falling for the con...
And did you see today SECDEF Esper said he didn't see any intel about four US Embassies being imminent targets...oh my...

Well, there you go - the NEOCONs faking intelligence to start another war...just like in 2003.
Pence better start looking for a new job - Dick Cheney is the new VP...

Nasrallah praised Soleimani for his steadfast support for Hezbollah. Iran's Revolutionary Guard has provided training for Hezbollah, which fought in the war in Syria alongside Iran-backed militias that Soleimani directed.
Nasrallah said that the world is a different place after Soleimani's death, and not a safer place as some U.S. officials have declared.
Nasrallah is like the former Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf:
"We have them surrounded in their tanks."
The NEOCONs can't wait for a third Middle East war....
So far Trump's held them off. You should be supporting him, not trying to tear him down.

That's easy, as soon as:
all the countries there recognize Israel's right to exist and normalize relations with them and
trade between all counties and shipping in the region has zero worries from state-sponsored pirates.
Wouldn't want another Benghazi to happen.
America doesn't need oil from the middle east, but many allies do need that oil.
Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. Keep the parts that perform social services towards their neighborhoods. End the terrorist parts - they are easy to pick out. They have rifles, missiles, and use drones to bomb other people.

To a certain point.
Didn’t have to so far.
But we have diplomatic relations and need the Saudis, we don’t have any with Iran and that won’t change anytime soon.
bass4funk
As of now yes.
bass4funk
They have, but they’re not going to push, No President will whether now or in the foreseeable future.
bass4funk
It goes both ways I am sure that they do tell them off privately, but not publicly. And the relationship goes both ways, because if they don’t wanna do business with us then they get no protection from us and the people of Saudi Arabia want nothing more than to talk with that government, so their very existence depends on us protecting them.

All the feed back in regards to the attack on the military base is that Iran tipped off the Iraqi's, who probably tipped off the Americans - there were no casualties in that attack, the Iranians have caused more casualties for Iranians than the Americans have.

Both Iran and the US have internal domestic as well as external international political, economic, religious, moral, ethical, philosophical and military issues to consider and deal with whatever information and options they may have. The leadership in each country may have goals and objectives, immediate to long term, which may have phases and changes over a period of time as change is constant in the world environment.
Those goals and objectives as well as the strategies and methods of achieving them may be the same, similar or different from the people of that country. The rationale or the reasoning may be totally different as it is here in our discussion.
We are all aware that it is the "trending" or the "flow" of actions and the results and reactions from them that gives us some "insight" as to the "intent" behind the actions, the strategies behind them and the possible goals. Hopefully from that we can all decipher a meaningful evaluation and theory, a concept as to what "may be" and not "ass-u-me" or "presume" based upon out own "preferences" and "prejudices".
We must all remember that "ideals" no matter how moral or ethical or wanted or dreamt about are goals or objectives that we want to achieve and not necessarily something we can immediately and practically put into action by requiring or forcing change in other people. That is especially true when it comes to religion, politics and race.
Iran's leadership's rhetoric and actions have been consistent. We have not been given enough of the voice and actions of the people of Iran to know exactly where the entire country stands. (It is not like China and SK where the rhetoric and actions of the leaders and the people "reflect" the same or similar intent against Japan.) That should indicate and tell us something as to how US and those who relate, associate and work with Iran could continue the relationship.
Abe goes to Iran without the same problems that the US faces. That even after the tragic downing of the airliner.
All of that must be included in our perspective.

It's fair and just whatever reason the US President Trump ordered to kill Qassim Soleimani.
Why Democrat was sad and sorrow for Qassim Soleimani died and accusing President Trump as illegally order to assassinate to Qassim Soleimani?
The Bush and Obama scared of retribution by Iran and its' proxy militia organizations when they were in office and they have chance to assassinate Qassim Soleimani even though they knew this man was dangerous than Osama Bin Laden and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Also, Qassim Soleimani was responsible for death of many American soldiers and civilians' lives.
Non of previous Democrat Presidents did not want to confront China for unfair trade and unfair treatment of foreign Companies in China, but the President Trump did it and wining trade war with China. Now the US and Foreign Companies do not need to transfer trade secret to Chinese Company and Chinese Government.
The Democrat will not win the Presidential election in 2020. The President Trump may not perfect person, but he was doing for the best for the United State of America and the world.
