New York Times: The Nightmare Stage of Trump’s Rule Is Here
New York Times ^ | 01/07/2020 | Michelle Goldberg

There are no more adults in the room.

After three harrowing years, we’ve reached the point many of us feared from the moment Donald Trump was elected. His decision to kill Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, Iran’s second most important official, made at Mar-a-Lago with little discernible deliberation, has brought the United States to the brink of a devastating new conflict in the Middle East.

We don’t yet know how Iran will retaliate, or whether all-out war will be averted. But already, NATO has suspended its mission training Iraqi forces to fight ISIS. Iraq’s Parliament has voted to expel American troops — a longtime Iranian objective. (On Monday, U.S. forces sent a letter saying they were withdrawing from Iraq in response, only to then claim that it was a draft released in error.)

On Sunday, Iran said it will no longer be bound by the remaining restrictions on its nuclear program in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the deal that Trump abandoned in 2018. Trump has been threatening to commit war crimes by destroying Iran’s cultural sites and tried to use Twitter to notify Congress of his intention to respond to any Iranian reprisals with military escalation.

The administration has said that the killing of Suleimani was justified by an imminent threat to American lives, but there is no reason to believe this. One skeptical American official told The New York Times that the new intelligence indicated nothing but “a normal Monday in the Middle East,” and Democrats briefed on it were unconvinced by the administration’s case. The Washington Post reported that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo — who last year agreed with a Christian Broadcasting Network interviewer that God might have sent Trump to save Israel from the “Iranian menace” — has been pushing for a hit on Suleimani

These are the same people who have actively been trying to push is into a war with Russia. Between Russia and Iran, I would gladly have a world without Iran and they are certainly a much easier opponent. I think because of this attack, they should lose their airbases and naval bases.

I’m glad these pearl-clutching Leftists weren’t around during WWII.

The nightmare scenario the NY Slimes doesn’t really want to see would be the American people finding out the full details of The One’s nuke deal with Iran, and the true reason he gave them $150 billion! Where has that money gone to and who exactly is in control of those funds? There’s your nightmare scenario. The Slimes is helping to cover it up!

Interesting what has been the focus of their fears. The death of a terrorist-in-chief.

No he was not. A full line of people ahead of him.

The first step in responding to the Iranian attack should be directed at their self professed allies occupying the New York Times building.

Prior to WW 2 the NYT were Hitler fans.

Viet Nam they were Commie fans.

Nothing new for them

When it comes time, enemies like the New York Times will be the first to fall.

This over emotional reaction is an embarrassment.

Michelle, the socktucker, has exposed herself and the NJT for what she and they are. This POS article is proof that lunacy reigns in the halls of the Times offices.
I suggest that she and her Fukkin’ news rag go live in Iran and eat crap like the rest of the camel humping bastards.

The NYT has to do this predictable sort of article or the Iranians will ban the company upper crust from the Bacha Bazi so popular with the NYC elite. With Epstein gone so that Jizzlane is no longer booking free flights for panting presstitues, losing access to those parties would be too much to bear

The ahole Iranians have been at war with America for forty years, killing countless Americans and the nationals of other countries all over the world in that time period.

We finally have a president who isn’t going to take their crap anymore.

So screw off, New York Slimes.

Mark Levin did a very cogent piece on the perfidy of the NY Slime today, It was excellent. The Slime does not deserve its position, it is basically an enemy within our midst, supporting everything anti-American and Christian.
