Guest TPAFKATS Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Iraqi PM says trump thanked him for helping deal with us embassy protests last month and asked him to try and help defuse tensions between Iran and Saudi.Iraqi PM says this was why Soulimani was visiting Baghdad. When America assasinated him he was carrying a response to saudi from Iranian leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think it will improve the situation? Who's going to suffer for this killing? Although the answer is obvious - certainly not The Don!

The United States of America - Dictators of the world. All these regime changes in the Arab lands, the removed governments in South America, it’s all to fit the US needs. If these moves were being made by the North Koreans there would be hell up, so why the f**k so the US continue to get away with this?

We Brits were the previous bully boys before America's economic muscle developed after the second World War and ours crumbled after the cost of two World wars. Gunboat diplomacy we called it.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Interesting programme on bbc2 late last night about Soulimani. Made in 2018, it had a couple of bits of text at the end updating recent events.Seemed quite balanced with input from Israeli military through to iraqi militia and kurdish generals.Also had british and us army - Petraeus who led us forces in Iraq in early 2000s. Good to compare his hawkish military opinion with the more pragmatic diplomacy of the ex US ambassador. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does the US appear to have all of these bases around one random country? Yep, not aggressive in any way whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
