It is a grey area but not unheard of, see for instance many operations during the cold war or the drone strikes done during the past ten years.

Things a superpower has to deal with. Do nothing and people bitch. Do something and people still bitch.

Forgive the double post but that is how the game works, they kill some of ours we kill some of theirs, the parts involved won't escalate because this isn't unusual in geopolitics.

Yup. I know.

The proxy war game. It's just more open because Trump has had enough of Iran fucking about.

Doublepost away this isn't SB.

That motherfucker after some digging wasn't well liked.

Wouldn't be surprised with his career. Internally he'd fuck with his fellow citizens everytime they get uppity and with the Iraqis when his proxies fucked them up for getting uppity too.

They're all celebrating his death on social media.
 
Well that's probably dealt a blow to Iranian ambitions in Iraq. Having high ranking officials killed or arrested tends to put a damper on your ability to influence a region if only because people don't want to wind up like said officials.
 


One of the celebration videos.

Doing some digging he's like how there's South Americans would think of the CIA as La CIA? The muscle in intel you'd need to do some shady shit in a proxy war? The henchmen you get as an evil genius?

His dead body with his hand as identity.

Ah this explains why they hate him.


He was the one responsible for the crackdown on the recent protests.

Hollywood leftists respond to Soleimani's death by attacking America

Anybody up to agree or disagree with the points made?

I agree in the thread this man was killed because he was acting against American interests to the point of endangering personnel in the embassy in Iraq. Whether this will backfire or not on the future response is what the future will tell us when it happens.
 
The guy had a choice, go out and organise a series of conflicts that will kill countless people, or maybe just have a day off. Watch Bargain Hunt, have a nice bowl of ice cream, you know, do things that don't involve spilling the blood of the innocent.

All these comments on how could America do this? Why? I mean, duh.

Talking about the officer who died?

Yeah, you don't have to take up arms but if you do then don't be shocked when your opponents do the same.

I agree too.

He believed in his cause as a member of the current government and rose high up in the ranks to conduct and direct questionable activities you'd see in the Cold War with proxy building. For him he poked the US too far and paid the price with his life and proxy leaders who were with him.

Is Iran unhappy? They should be.

Are the people local to the area who celebrate his death happy? Yes they are due to his activities that harmed them or their families.

Simple cause and effect.
 
My opinion is the opposite of many here. I think that this was a terrible action and a fundamental betrayal of Trump’s campaign rhetoric about putting America first. Just another in a long line of terrible actions the USA has taken in the region that will result in lost lives, lost treasure, and global instability. We should be getting out of Iraq, not assassinating foreign leaders :mad:

That's the thing. I'm uneducated to know whether this is an actual good thing or not a good thing.

Here's another airstrike. More proxy leadership getting decapitated.

Um the only time the Middle East was quote unquote stable was under the Ottoman Empire and even that was not a good thing. Just Google the African Slave trade in the Middle East.

As you witnessed the cold war how do you feel with the aftermath of the US embassy this time?
 
I'm wary of this move. Big question I have right now: why was General Soleimani in Iraq rather than coordinating whatever he was in charge of safely in Iran? Can't they send communications over secure networks (not familiar with American intelligence capabilities, what I have heard paints them poorly), or did the military leadership really think they could travel through Iraq with impunity?
Tensions flared up with the tanker attacks in May, which definitely have more of a bearing on the global situation thanks to the oil trade, yet no war started. Knowing that I'm not expecting Iran to start a full scale war.
