This is a reaction to the embassy attack, where nobody died

which was a reaction to our bombing attack of the Shia militia where we killed 25 of their guys

which was a reaction to some American contractor being killed somewhere in Iraq

That's what I was thinking too.

the American getting killed and the bombing that reacted to it have already been memory holed by the news cycle too

For reference:

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/12/27/politics/iraq-rocket-attack-contractor-killed/index.html

One American was killed on Friday, 2019/12/27, at the K1 military base in Kirkuk, Iraq, when the base was hit by a katyusha rocket attack. The US tried to pin it on Kataib Hezbollah and/or other Iran-back Shiite militias.

https://time.com/5756651/us-airstrikes-iraq-syria-contractor/

And then, on Monday, 2019/12/30, the US launched airstrikes across Iraq and Syria, targeting the Kataib Hezbollah group, which reported that these strikes killed at least 25 of their fighters.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...f173_story.html

And then, on Tuesday, 2019/12/31, supporters of Kataib Hezbollah "laid siege" to the US embassy in Iraq, in reaction to the deaths caused by the US airstrikes. No one was actually hurt during this so-called siege, and it ended a day later.

And then we got this, today.

the loving crocodile tears from the dems about this. "he was a bad man for opposing our imperial interests and it's good he's dead, but trunt didn't use the proper channels, so I shall write a sternly worded letter!!"

make no mistake, the natsec state is pissing itself in glee over this. it's just like our loving over the Kurds: trump bring the idiot fall guy for doing something the empire has wanted for a long, long, time.

every so often a bubble bursts from his rotting brain and he says "let's fuckin kill soleimani" and all the eels around him are like "yes, sir, of course" and go and press the button quick as they can, looking over their shoulder and hoping nobody notices how gleefully they're complying with his obvious dementia

anybody complains about "lack of oversight" of Trump's actions, oh, there's oversight, and they think the actions are very, very good

With Trumpy it's even better since anyone remotely competent like Mattis have already resigned and he's surrounded himself with even more Yes Men who condone his impulsive behavior.

I'd like to once again thank Micheal Bay! Having watched Pearl Harbor many times growing up because it was the only interesting movie that my grandparents had at their house, and having spent a lot of sundays at their place, I decided long ago that dying in a sinking ship would actually really loving suck and that there is absolutely 0 good reason to join the navy! having since become a not-chud, joining the military in general is stupid, but he guerenteed that I would never die sinking out in the ocean because Turmpo is dumb

I watched this short documentary about the Mahdi Army and there's a scene where occupation forces are escorting electricians and mechanics who are going around town disconnecting the electrical lines of people who have tapped into the power mains illegally

What I'm saying is America had it coming
