Draft dodging a war like the Vietnam war is smart – not a disgrace. I know of many brave individuals who escaped service in Vietnam because they knew at the time that it was a fake war. Prostitution, on the other hand, legal or not (whatever that means) is shameful and a real sign of a low-life. In that way, Trump follows his grandfather.
I guess that there are two things the opponent actors in this affair could do best.
First would be Chinese Xi Jin Ping declare that China will increase their oil imports from Iran , effective immly. The stupid war mongers would get the message. Second could be Iran boosting their weapons delivery to the Houthis in Yemen.
And prepare to make life in the US bases in Africa and the Middle East an inferno in such a way that the rythm of black plastic bags with soldier
corpses getting back home turns unbearable to the average citizem
The Iraqi Parliament has passed a bill calling for the US to leave. It also calls for a ban on US products so no more apaches, F-16s?, more Su-25s, possibly even S-300s?
What a sad, sad day to be living in america and having this man calling himself our leader.
I am so embarrassed by trump showing his complete lack of knowledge and remorse for what he has done and who Soleimani truly was. so heartbroken by his actions against a truly honorable and respected man… Saker is the only website I feel I can relate to and trust…please keep up the honest reporting.
He is right. He was born rich. He went to bankruptcy several times. He still is rich. And the empire’s president.
That is why I don’t see him as a delusional idiot at first. He is just repeating his entire spoiled life as the child he will be forever. Like the vast majority of first world people (and the oligarchs’ children of developing countries) I’ve met in my life.
I just read that the Iraqi parliament has voted 170 to 0 to expel US troops from the country. Solemanei was killed on January 3rd and today is January 5 – so within 48 hours of this brazen crime, Trump is witnessing the consequences what he has wrought.
Given the huge negative fall-out and backlash from this cowardly crime perpetrated by Trump, the questions that Americans must now ask are:Who exactly were the persons that advised the president and why did they suggest this course of action?
What exactly were they hoping to achieve?
Because, it should have been obvious to persons with just minimum common sense and a basic appreciation of current affairs in the region, that an act of this nature against such a beloved figure would render US presence in Iraq and Syria untenable in the short term and in the region – medium to long term.
I suspect the answers will lead to Israel and its supporters, so those questions wont be asked – and if by chance they are asked, the answers will be deemed too explosive and “anti-Semitic”.
I also suspect that Trump, being as arrogant and impulsive as he is, was played by his pro-Israeli handlers, and made to sign off an a brazen act, long sought by Tel-a-Viv, but against US interests.
He should rightly be feeling like the fool he is now.
Israel’s interests and US interests are not the same, but this is something that US politicians can not say publicly,
However, until they wrest control of the decision-making process of their country from the grip of the AIPAC crowd, they will continue to act against the best interests of their country and reap the negative consequences.
Look at Trump’s history. At a very young age ; the President was sent to a Military Boarding School. Living away from his own family ; and surrounded by people with no family ties to himself…….he had to develop survival skills at a very, very young age. In all probability Trump probably can skillfully “size up” people and make judgements about them better than most. I would be inclined to think that some very terrible secret about his previous behavior is being held over his head to control his present destructive actions toward our Country. If this is not the case; we have a dangerous “Forest Gump” at the Helm.
All of the recent presidential figureheads have been arrogant but I do think Trump surpasses them all. The world is in a very dangerous place with the U.S. constitution long in the trash, we have a nuclear power aiming to conquer the world with an imperial presidency usurped by other powers, having a figurehead of this low caliber. A failed developer and reality TV personality. What could go terribly wrong?
Maybe Trump will offer to build casinos in Iran and Iraq to sooth them. It would be great for business. Or perhaps he can send Jerrod of Arabia to offer a Chabad type peace deal?
Yes, I know I am being sarcastic. But what can one really say to all this? It appears to me that America has gotten the leadership they deserve. If only they would keep it in America. But they won’t and Iraq parliament voting for them to get out won’t make it so because the U.S. ‘stands with the Iraqi people’, so they say.
Since assuming office, President Trump has been unable to name his Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Homeland Security, UN Representative and a host of other government chiefs. The only Cabinet choices President Trump was allowed to make were Treasury and Commerce, basically because these were deemed technicians and not pivotal decision-makers in January 2017 — an oversight Senator McConnell will never make again.
To prevent President Trump from naming even one “Recess Appointment” Senator McConnell has never allowed the Senate to recess since January 2017. It would take only 1 Senator to insist on a recess for 4th of July, Thanksgiving, or Christmas, but no one in the Senate — not Rand Paul, not Cruz, nobody — has been willing to give the President any interim apointments. (Of course the Senate does not really meet during these holidays, instead 3 Senators show up in the Senate well and vote to meet again in 3 days.)
In short, apart from the Treasury and Commerce, Trump is surrounded by Neocon Cabinet Members by mandate of the Washington Deep State. And for this reason, the Saker rightly says that President Trump runs a Deep State and not a “TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.”
President Trump doesn’t run a “Deep State” it’s the other way round: He gets his orders from the “Deep State” and some other “Departments” as well as from another tiny state.
If he doesn’t follow the given orders we could easily see how he would be “comforted” by “his way out”.
The American people know how dangerous and stupid Trump is. They voted for him because Killery is worse. The Germans knew exactly what the Nazis were up to and were complicit, as are the Americans. What an exceptional nation! The Sakers translation of Nasrallah’s speech shook me as a summary of Trump’s (read US) incompetence. We knew he (they) were fools, but as a list it is staggering. It is now pretty clear the Iranians will not take the bait (mercifully) but will achieve their aims by a series of slow time actions. The history of the British defeat in the first Afghan war is a good example of how it is done. The technical prowess of the Iranians is considerably under-rated by the US and its slimy allies. It will not be ling before they have credible nuclear weapons, they already have the means of delivery. God save the USA.
I do wonder if the orange retard considered that he has put himself in the position of being a very good trigger for the Deep State. Someone (anyone) puts a slug in Donnies head and the blame will be on Iran.
Americans will go ultra-nationalist and DEMAND an attack on Iran, so the Deep State gets all the backing it needs for all out war with Iran. Donnie gets a nice funeral.
Just a speculative guess, but it would not surprise me if it went this way.
And Iran knows that any attack by anyone on Americans anywhere will (and has been) blamed on Iran. No idea what Iran will do, but the leaders are smart enough to know that all restraint on action has NOW BEEN REMOVED. They are going to be guilty so what reason is there NOT to attack American targets?
The face of a man under extreme stress. Good F’n job. One wonders if Epstein (The Israeli’s) have something on him or is he just incredibly stupid
Trump’s grandfather who was ejected from Germany for not fulfilling national service made his money from illegal prostitution in Canada.
Trump’s father was not not conscripted when at his physical peak during WWII and Trump managed to due to a medical condition evade the Vietnam war.
Sounds like a family of cowards this Trump clan

The level of stupid astounding!! Listen i back Trump when come to these Democrats…. but this is madness…
I do not think it makes any difference. Trump and Pelosi are just two finger puppets on a single hand of Zion.
What trump has done since 2017 is insane. I am not surprised at all.

What to say about this ? I m speechless…
Dumb, arrogant, irrational, worst than a spoiled teen years old child… and worsening.
There will be no exit strategy until Jared and Ivanka are drafted to fight.

This. This right here. It should be law in u.s. that if you are a politician who wants war, you or your family will have to go fight it.

This is the face, mentality and morals of likud.

Who else but the fascist regime would want to put the US and Iran on a crash course?
Now the test is, will Iran take the bait or capitalize on the newly presented circumstances?
Obvious double entendre, Iran will provide the exit strategy. Of course he doesn’t need one. Napoleon didn’t need one either when he visited Moscow.
All of the recent presidential figureheads have been arrogant but I do think Trump surpasses them all.
