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.

You will start the war but we will end it.”

- Qassem Suleimani

Worrying words. 

For the United States to assassinate a member of a foreign government cannot be wise. To do it to a high Iranian official leaves the world in a very dangerous place.

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.”
