“Kind of strange. Who took him out, I wonder?”

“A high-ranking pro-Iranian militia commander was fatally shot in Iraq Saturday night”

My bet—its the Russians, making changes the old fashioned way. Putin owes Trump a few favors. Iran didn’t do Syria and Russia many favors in the Civil War. I read they ticked off Putin—its never healthy to tick off Putin.
