US assassination

“Mr Trump the gambler, I’m telling you, know that we are close to you in that place you don’t think we are.

- Qassem Suleimani

And all decided from a holiday resort in Florida.


“If this thing sparks into a war, it will absolutely not benefit us,” warned retired Lt Col Daniel Davis, a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq now at the Defense Priorities thinktank. “It will be catastrophic for everyone.”
