I'm wondering if Trump is starting to unravel. Considering it's the same corrupt and inept government that allow a rag-tag horde of Sunni adventurists over-run the country and almost reach Bagdad before we intervened, they might be better off, doing what they're told. Governing isn't their strong suit. In any event, the Iraqi Parliament has limited powers and is, almost, a token institution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habitat Posted January 6, 2020 #53 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I see a "generous" bookmaker offering odds of 20/1 for Trump to get the Nobel Peace Prize for 2020. Form not reading well for that at present. Greta Thunberg is the short-priced favourite. Strange world ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted January 6, 2020 #54 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Surely this is a golden opportunity for Trump to pull out of Iraq, without being accused of betraying an ally ? I mean.. there are only around 5000 US troops in the country... I don't know how many contractors... how hard could it be to pull them out ?

Phaeton80 Posted January 6, 2020 #55 Share Posted January 6, 2020 17 hours ago, and then said: Did I say something humorous? Do you find nuclear weapons to be amusing? Here's a tip for ya, Boyo... don't %^^$k with a U.S. president and expect to be treated with love and affection 16 hours ago, and then said: Pssst... (whispers) He has the nuke codes... AND he's probably going to be re-elected. Not so much because he isn't annoying. Mostly it would happen because his enemies lost their damned MIIIIINDS 16 hours ago, and then said: I feel no need to defend his words. If he actually bombs cultural sites I'd be amazed. The rush to apologise or justify his words to people like you ended in the first year of his presidency. He's at open war with haters like you and I'm all for it. You and your 5th column deserve EVERYTHING you get from him. Rave on... just be glad he doesn't actually control the drones himself Check out the old 'Christian' dude behind his keyboard, all excited stroking his little **** at the mere thought of a nuclear exchange, coming wars.. drunk on the power he projects onto the US military.. somehow extracting pride from the conquest of the nations his country has victimized under a guise of deceit.. invoking hundreds of thousands of deaths, seeding wholesale destruction throughout the ME, cultivating the very terrorism they boast they are battling. People who dont achieve anything themselves need such external 'national accomplishments' to fill up that void, it doesnt get any sadder than that - especially given the inherently anti Christian, criminal qualities of said 'accomplishments'. ..If anyone deserves whats coming to them, its you little man.

Anyone with a brain could see their purpose from the beginning. Here they are threatening to wipe out Israel over a U.S action. If they had nuclear weapons would they use them? https://www.jpost.com/Breaking-News/Israeli-bases-Haifa-targets-for-Soleimani-retaliation-ex-IRGC-chief-613197 The picture of the Iranian Officer should say all that needs saying about Iran within the above link. Nice! They have no idea really what to expect from Trump...but they should be (and they are) very, very afraid. They KNOW what Netanyahu will do if they attack Tel Aviv in a significant way. It doesn't matter what they say they are going to do....their actual mindset is: OMG wtf just happened!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyone who knows him (apparently not the Iranians) knows he will not back down from a fight. It could easily go to 158,000 depending on what Iran does. Probably not. I think right now Trump could Tweet that the Mullahs should all hang themselves ...and they would actually consider the possibility.

He doesn't micromanage the military and listens, at least sometimes, to their voices of experience.

Except that and then conveniently forgets they did run away from most of Syria and dozens of our Kurdish allies were killed as a result. It would have been hundreds or thousands of the Russians hadn't stepped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been a concern of ours ever since you bloody Europeans started your last bloody World War. As for ourselves, we've managed to avoid one for 75 years and we bloody well didn't do it, standing in a circle holding hands singing We Are The World.
