It could be the most significant event in the Middle East since the USA invaded Iraq. POTUS played his most desperate card in a bid to redefine himself as a wartime president after saying he wanted peace.
Why have there been no explanations from POTUS for escalating tensions for apparently vague reasons? Has America had enough? The assassination of global spymaster Soleimani, the second in command Iranian official.
He was the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force who was killed in a U.S. military airstrike at Baghdad’s international airport. The attack was directed by President Donald Trump, who did not know who Soleimani was, or who the Quds were when he ran for office. It is still not known how much he understands even today, nor if he has a strategy.
What is certain is that Trump opened Pandoras Box with his orders to attack will generate many Global and complicated problems as a result of his decision to attack in Iraq.
Expect the ouster of American forces from Iraq, then the regrouping of ISIS and an inability to support our US forces and retaliation.
There will surely be unforeseen and unpleasant consequences which derive from the Greek myth in which Pandora, driven by curiosity, unleashes various human evils, unintentionally losing them on the world.
POTUS attack will generate an Iranian regional violent response placing 5200 American troops and US Embassy personnel in Iraq with severe dangers.
This was the second most powerful man in Iran, who was responsible for the deaths of many over the years. Iran's supreme leader warns that there will be harsh retaliation Following the US military airstrike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.
Experts feel this US attack marks the end of US-Iraq cooperation because #Iraq will surely ask #USA to depart. This will mean a greater Iranian influence, increased terrorist activities, and more Iraqi infighting.
DOD officials say there were threats that did not appear to be imminent. It begs the question: How could #USA Government conclude POTUS didn’t need to obtain Congressional authority, as the Constitution demands?
Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected--be careful Republicans!
