Thanks. I thought it was just me.
That's what I was referring to. I don't think the Trump towers in Iran were ever completed, but he has towers in Turkey.
Yep and who is the entity that those countries have to borrow money from because if they are not funded, they may suffer a chance of being annihilated?
Updating with responses from candidates. This is odd
Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who served in Afghanistan, has not yet commented on the killing.
Trump’s Strike Has Drawn A Sharp Line Between The Democrats Running For President
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ryancbrooks/trump-iran-soleimani-strike-democrats-reaction
The Democratic presidential candidates have split into an anti-war camp, led by Bernie Sanders, and a set of more nuanced responses to the killing of a key Iranian official, a rare and sharp contrast inside the party that begins to choose its nominee in a month.
All the leading Democrats, in varying degrees, criticized President Trump for the potential his drone strike has to destabilize the Middle East. But while Elizabeth Warren made the point of calling Qassem Soleimani a “murderer,” Mike Bloomberg called him "a murderer with the blood of Americans on his hands,” and Joe Biden began his statement denouncing Soleimani’s “crimes against American troops and thousands of innocents,” Sanders took a different tone, one drawn from a wing of the party that has opposed American wars since Vietnam.
“Trump's dangerous escalation brings us closer to another disastrous war in the Middle East that could cost countless lives and trillions more dollars,” Sanders said in a statement, after noting his opposition to the Iraq war and without mentioning Soleimani by name. “Trump promised to end endless wars, but this action puts us on the path to another one.”
The campaign’s press statement referred to the attack as an “assassination.”
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who has cast herself as the party’s leading anti-war voice, spoke about the strike on Fox News' "Fox And Friends" on Friday morning, calling it "very clearly an act of war by this president, without any kind of authorization or declaration of war from Congress, clearly violating the Constitution."
Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who served in Afghanistan, has not yet commented on the killing.
Andrew Yang, like Sanders, immediately denounced the attack and later said he would as president “restore the historical balance between Congress and the Executive branch concerning military action.”

The news outlets look like actors on a set with all of the script reading that they are doing.
I wish people would post tweets from objective news outlets and not the United States main stream media that can LEGALLY report propaganda and pass it off as truth.

Instead of you sitting there wishing on someone else, why wont you do it then?
Not true.
Not many war time presidents haven't been reelected.
If a major conflict breaks out he will be easily reelected.
You just answered the $20 Trillion dollar question of why anyone would faithfully participate in the two-party system that does not address ANY of your community’s needs.
thank you, sir!
thank you, sir!
the Middle East has a lot of spiritual energy due to being the origin of most of the ancient civilizations of the Sumer mythological gods.
Oh shit, a politician actually doing in office what he said he would do before getting in office?

Uh... that was a Photoshop of this tweet...
It's a joke/sarcasm. Sorry that wasn't clear.
This has Nancy Pelosi’s fingerprints all over it....
oh, no. I apologize if my response of being sarcastic and not serious was not apparent. Hence the use of the “

I don’t think so. You’ll see in a few days what I am talking about
initially this ^^^ n that sets off the avalanche , they know whats up , this isnt gonna be one month, get ready for a long fight
I don't know enough about middle-east politics to have a really good opinion on this. But this reminds me of when I used to get phone calls in the middle of night, you can just tell me the names of the employees or supervisors involved and I would know they couldn't handle whatever fuck up they were involved in. I don't know if this will be a good thing or a bad thing in the long run but knowing Trump and his ilk, I'm assuming he didn't think about long term repercussions.
I do understand that this is a huge step up for the World, not just the US. This guy was an official for a nation, not a terrorist target but a government official for a democratic society. Big step up. I always know the middle-east is going through a cold war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. We sided with the Saudi's.

History and facts aren't on your side. The election isn't until November, if we're in a major conflict he will win easily.
Important To Remember: No Wartime President Has Been Defeated For Reelection!

Franklin D. Roosevelt, World War II, not at war but nearing it, reelected in 1940, and then at war, reelected in 1944.
Lyndon B. Johnson, using the Vietnam War issue through the Gulf of Tonkin, elected in 1964

the only reason i hesitate about this that 45 has introduced us to a number of firsts.
he could be the first president to lose an election during war time.
Trump and his cronies are looking at the U.S. arsenal of weapons and are like it’s no fair to have these weapons and not use them. As if they will expire. God help us. And the evangelicals are cheering this on because they think this will hasten WWIII and thus speed up the rapture taking place. It’s like these cluck heads don’t read the Bible. It clearly states that no one will know the time that he will come and that he will come as a thief in the night. *paraphrasing*
