Has there been any analysis or even the suggestion that this might be a bad situation or kinda war crimey on the msm coverage of this in the US? Or are they all going with the woo yeah our brave military triumphs over evil again angle as they seem conditioned to do reflexively? That cnn(?) tweet from earlier was gross as hell.

I may be wrong here but, reading about the war in Syria the past few years, this General was operating pretty openly in Syria and Iraq. He was directing forces that were fighting ISIS and openly coordinating with U.S., Kurdish, Russian and Syrian forces. Hell he's traveling through the Baghdad airport when he got smoked. It's a pretty big deal when you kill a member of someone's government without actually being in open conflict with that government.

killing him is purely a spite move to send a message of escalation

I think the US seized a lot of Iranian asset as part of some sanctions and that's what the money being returned was.

The Obama money bullshit was about money that belonged to Iran and that had been embargoed or impounded by the U.S. for years and when the nuke deal was signed with Iran, Obama merely ordered the release or Iran's money back to them. Of course this got translated by FOX into Obama gave billions to Iran.

US right now the big obnoxious redneck drunkenly swaggering round the bar talking loudlyfor everyone else to hear about what a little pussy weirdo Iran over there looks like, and how he's gonna kick there rear end if they dont stop looking at him. We just hit the part where the US intentionally spills a beer all over Iran then gets in their face shouting that Iran shoved them and they better apologise and pay up or it's gonna be fuckin' on.

The editors of the New York Times defended Henry Kissinger, arguing that he should be given a pass for his role in Condor and other dirty works because "the world was polarised, and fighting communism involved hard choices and messy compromises".[139]

i guess tonight is watch a movies night but so anyways movie review number two:

knives out wouldn't have been much fun at all if they didn't wrangle fox horn james bond into hamming up the private detective role lol

the beginning half of the mystery movie was basically "a buncha actors you know are quipping at each other for a bit after each scene ought to be over so eat it up you schlubs" but once that ran its course the mr fog craig leg daniel and the dubious cops was much more enjoyable imo
