Yes, President Trump is not finished by any means.

But what I love about him is he doesn’t give two craps what anyone thinks - he just does what he thinks is right at that time, and that is what will keep us out of trouble and restore the USA to its proper role in foreign policy and national security.

I think what got recent past Presidents in trouble was being too concerned with political consequences - which gives the corrupt media and the Marxist globalist agendas too much influence.

Either doing too much and getting stuck in never-ending conflicts, or failing to do enough.

This President doesn’t let himself get caught up in leftist or globalist agendas by trying to do the politically correct thing - he’s an independent thinker who puts America first.

He is human, so he will make mistakes on occasion, but, like Reagan, he has inner strength.

Fingers aren’t pointed, America has raised her hand and taken responsibility for this counterstrike for his attack on Americans on American soil at our Iraq embassy.

Just heard through my no nonsense whistleblower (who will remain unnamed) that Obama is in the running and the Moooooch is a strong second.

Well, it looks like we may very well have got our intelligence back. A surgical strike where this general was known to be located. We haven’t see such precise intelligence since Reagan knocked out a bunker in Libya and scared the hell out of Gaddafi.

This is really good stuff.

God bless Trump who will not be bamboozled like his sad post-Reagan predecessors. All the lights are on under trump’s watch.

The Left will turn the lights out whenever they can.

Trump’s 2020 landslide is quickly on its way and there’s NOTHING the Left can do about it except unwittingly create a greater 2020 Trump landslide.

If you are referring to the abortive rescue attempt that killed I think 8 of our soldiers, I think this was planned to fail. Made to look like we were trying. Question is, was this done by the military or by the President?

Brigadier Hossein Jaafari-Nia, Major Hadi Taremi and Colonel Shahrud Mozaffari-Nia all from IRGC-Quds Force were also killed together with Soleimani.

Iran appointed 'Brigadier General Ismail Ghaani' as a new Head of IRGC after the killing of Soleimani.

He was a Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. BUT other outlets are saying Ismail Qa’ani.

380 Is it that simple though?

Yes

Do random Muslim terrorists care to act in defense of Iran?M/I>

They aren't random.
9/11 was essentially Sunni

1/03/2020 - Iran Has Hezbollah Sleeper Cells in the U.S. Ready to Strike

I know they’re all terrorists but since Iranians aren’t arabs?

Yes, the Qur'an declares the Arabs are better than all other Muslims. There are 57 majority Muslim nations. Sunnis make up ~87% of the world's Muslims. Iraq is majority Shia. So is Syria. So you have that Shia region of influence moving west out of Iran to Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Iran is also aiding the Muslim rebels in Yemen fighting KSA.

At some point in the Sunni-Shia feud they will ally to defeat The Great Devil (U.S.) and The Little Devil (Israel) to fulfill Muhammed's Islamic caliphate.

Or is that a dumb question?

No dumb questions. We all engage on FR with different levels of information, analyses, opinions, and biases. The MSM journalists are poorly schooled in history. A great example of that was the lousy coverage of the 1990s break-up of Yugoslavia into various civil wars. I could not tell who was who. Only 20 years later when I read Christian history did I learn about the Muslim invasions of the Balkans, and the Christian schism between the Eastern Orthodox and the RCC. Essentially, Tito forcefully, under communism, held together a population of Muslims, EO, and RCC. Once he died, the 3 basic sects began fighting each other.

Bosnian = Muslim
Croat = RCC
Serb = EO

Sulimani was banned from leaving Iran by UN sanctions...obviously he didn't listen

since he was flown into Bagdads Airport then traveled in an armed convoy.....

It looks like our military used the new targeting missle that goes right through the roof of moving veicles....

If Trump wanted war he would not have just hit a targeted convoy.

....”The MSM journalists are poorly schooled in history”....

You can say that again!......Which is why they have little understanding of what they’re even saying when they report.

I would have never imagined that most of us here could report far better than the journalists...and the desk pundits are even worse educated about what they discuss!
