I’d bet it’s probably a Iraqi Shia militia that’s doing this; a couple of rockets seems like a pretty ineffectual response to the assassination of a senior military leader.

That's definitely just a local PMF. They sling a rocket every now and again every couple of days at random these days.

45 ACP CURES NAZIS posted:etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of civilians directly supporting the military that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted among the military casualties than civilian. I'm a civilian and work for the US military, but I acknowledge I'm also a valid military target because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of civilian casualties in this campaign will not be innocent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQdDRrcAOjA

Someone has to have these groups on a leash while the response gets figured out right? I figured poo poo would have been going down at the embassy the next day but nothing has happened.

I don't know if you're familiar with the band or not, but they tour a lot and unlike most "two guys with synthesizers" bands they're well worth going to a live show.

Bored As gently caress posted:Scariest parts are the following: something that just occurred to me. As I understand, the unspoken rule of "we don't assassinate foreign leaders" is there because it keeps our leaders safe too, and every civilized nation respects it because no leader wants to be shot. We just assassinated a foreign leader, at least in the eyes of the nation he was a leader of. So slight upshot, maybe they will eliminate the actual problem?

Like he gives a poo poo about the Iranian Hostage Crisis? Not the mention the threats on Iranian historical sites. So, I wonder who is in the Pentagon/Administration that is spearheading this thing. Will be a pretty fascinating historical footnote. Again, if we all live and can still read. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Jan 5, 2020 |
