Mil News Current Iran/Iraq/US Tensions and Actions Unfolding

From another forum, an Israeli poster..

23 October was an act of war not terrorism. A terrible day indeed
 
Soleimani has the blood of hundreds of Americans on his hands. About time he got smoked.
Not only Americans. He and his homies actively participated in teaching Iraqi rebels how to make IEDs, being responsble for a big part of the Coalition's casualties during the stabilisation mission.
 
US killed man who played main role to counter terrorism in Syria and Iraq and was succeessful in this war. Not surprised.
That's what happens when a terrorist roleplays a CT commander and stops being vital, as his main opponent, known as Bagdaddy, unexpectedly dies.
He has been pushing his luck for far too long, poking his opponents too much and not noticing that he has made too many enemies. He also missed the fact, there's a totally different U.S. president, who had declared numerous times that he would be tough on Iran and who increased the U.S. MoD budget. You do such things for a reason.

He orchestrated the last attack on the U.S. embassy, so he should have thought about the consequences.

Just another stupid and desperate step in meaningless US movements in ME.
RIP
You will hardly find a U.S. member here who would be a great fan of the American policy in the ME.
However, that region is unmanageable and many countries made numerous mistakes getting involved too much there.

Why do I get the impression that the air strike was also partly to make these people loose their minds and make fools out of themselves?
 
I'll go out on a limb here and say there's lot's of people celebrating Soleimani's death, up to and including Khamenei himself. Quds force has more power than the clerical government and is leading Iran into conflict across the ME. Soleimani's "Shia Arc" is already causing conflict in Iraq, and is destabilizing in Syria, and is already a "done deal" in Lebanon, where an Iran-backed Hezbollah shadow government pretty much rules.

Soleimani earned his place in America's cross-hairs, and I'm glad he's been whacked. Iran's proxy war through Soleimani's Shia crescent alliances needs a big finger pointed at it, and Iran needs to know, we've got our eyes on you. The idea this f*cker or his proxies can wage war against us without retaliation is over.
The power struggle inside the Quds and Iraqi Shia Militias will be interesting to watch.

This is hilarious! My powers of telepathy tell me that through those crocodile tears he's thinking, "This means a promotion!"
 
Assad is pissed which is enough to make me happy. Most Western socialist medias (outside of some American ones) are too.

Anyway. Yes, he was responsible for many casualties especially those damned IEDs but to outright call him a terrorist in the sense of OBL or Baghdadi might be a bit of a stretch.

Many people considered him as such, maybe rightly so. At worst he was one. At best he was the head link between Iran and the Shia militias in Iraq and Syria, Lebanon.

Don’t get me wrong, my sympathy for the shia militias and Hezzbolah is close to zero but I don’t want to go full Bolton-retard either. Fought Saddam Hussein then, fought IS too. If eliminating some random dude in the Middle East could have ended the wars there, these countries would have been peaceful for decades.
 
Of course he will be replaced, but then so would Hitler have been.

he undoubtedly killed or helped kill pretty much everyone’s Soldiers in Iraq, including Iraqi....

I think trump is making clear that decisions made by such people will have an effect on those same people, not just on the poor sap pulling the trigger.

Iraq is back in a mess, I don’t have the solution, I’m not sure anyone does.

any suggestions?
 

It seems the Iraqi government were quite appreciative of the now deceased general and as far as I am aware was in Iraq at the request of the Iraqi government before his death . Is this US attack some sort of strategic masterpiece which will lead to widespread de escalation of tension in the ME , or merely a flick of a coin with fingers crossed that everything will work out in the end ? If anything it will make Iraqis feel that they are still under occupation and long term that can't be a good thing .

As I have already said, there's no solution.
The best option would be a heavy-handed and a pro-Western guy like al-Tikriti. He was pretty OK in the 80s, except for being a psychopatic murderer and a gas-lover, and the West considered him somobody who could confront Iran. However, the Iraqi-Iranian War drained his budget and the economy collapsed. That's why he invaded Kuwait, as he wanted to get some more oil and money.
He took Kuwait in hours and was able to take the KSA in a couple of days.
The ideal scenario would be, despite being more than extremely immoral, to install somebody like him again, let him take over Kuwait and the KSA, as these two hate us as well despite trying to pretend that they don't.
The biggest losers would be the Kurds, even if the guy did not decide to gas them or do any nasty shyte.
All that mess (Iraq, Kuwait and the KSA) should be governed by a single ruler and anything resembling democracy is unviable there.

Take into account that 'mani was not the only person killed by the missile. There was also the Iraqi Shia militia's commander plus the Hezbollah's deputy commander. If three such senior and important guys meet in one place, it means they plan stirring some major shyte.

Or, perhaps, you think they wanted to smoke a shisha pipe ;)

We can clearly take it as a pre-emptive strike and congratulate the intelligence guys.
