Now Reuters reporting the 6 newly minted martyrs were Iraqi not Iranian, but were members of the Popular Mobilization Front another one of the terrorist militias run by our dearly departed Iranian General Nice Guy.

But here are the facts:
-Qassem Soleimani was not a terrorist, he was the General of Iran's elite Quds Force, which had a hand in fighting the Islamic State militant group. He was practically second in command, hence "a world leader". Calling him a terrorist is incorrect and reeks of Right Wing "Patriotic" propaganda.
-Iranian, Russian, and Chinese relations are well documented. They absolutely would support Iran, just as they have in the past. (Source) So before any of you all get huffy about my apparent lack of knowledge why don't you go sit your retired butts on that sofa and turn on the History channel that has replayed all of this for the past decade, as starters, then do your own research.
-All of this, and none of you can still come up with a rational excuse as to the 1 month complete 180 in policy. Are we leaving? Are we going? How many more troops are going to be sent there? For what purpose?
Oh that's right. None of you have an answer. You're too busy lathering your warmongering to actually use your brain and figure out exactly what Trump is doing. I'll quote the man himself. From 2011.

Our President order that the man who organized our embassy being attacked amongst other terroristic activities both having already occurred and in the planning process be killed and youre mad.
Trump didnt even do this in Iran. The terrorist was in Iraq despite being banned from travel outside of Iran by the UN outside. The same UN that Supreme Leader Karen announced they will be complaining to

Nobody else would come to our defense.
Venezuela??? What the h*ll are they going to do .... throw some street garbage at us?
Dang Owl, you're not in the know. Don't you know that they own gas stations in the US? They'll put sugar in their gasoline. LOL
Not sure which Owl you are referring to.
I’ve stayed out of this and most frays lately because I am not informed enough on the subject to make an argument one way or the other.
One concern I have is with drone attacks in general. I am thinking that a foreign enemy of ours can’t attempt a strike like the one in Iraq (hopefully our defense systems can thwart it). But lone wolf attacks with drones seem much more plausible.

There's nothing to gain for China or Russia doing anything more than selling Iran weapons. Both have a lot to lose (especially China) and neither are in a position go against America unless they believe 100% they can win. Not only defeat America in a war against Iran but bring the US to its knees.
That is not going to happen

I would not be upset if a Dem president killed a terrorist who masterminded an attack on an American embassy among other atrocities especially if, as was the case here, the terrorist was in violation of his UN travel ban and in a country where the government asked us to assist due to that terrorist's actions
