The US / Iran war...


Recommended Posts

I thought bombing an international airport in Iraq and killing an Iranian no.2 was a measured, well thought-out move. 
What could possibly go wrong?

Surely the Iraqis and Iranians, who don’t get on, couldn’t make use of a joint enemy, could they? ... and, of course, it won’t lead to more Westerners being attacked and killed in different parts of the globe ...

I watched a documentary on Soleimani last year, a very powerful figure and integral to many of the  issues in the Middle East including Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon.

Iran has been fighting proxy sectarian wars throughout the region and this guy was the central figure in terms of planning, arming and training the various insurgencies and militia groups.

Certainly no loss to humanity but the wider implications could be serious depending on Iran’s next move.

The irony is that he and the US worked together against ISIS and met several times as a result but obviously there was no love lost on either side.

He was also responsible in terms of funding, arms and strategy for the insurgency in Basra against British troops.

Hopefully both sides show restraint or this could easily escalate,  Iran’s response will be interesting as they are very vocal in their threats but this takes things to a different level.

Dominic Cummings is currently seeking weirdo's and misfits to join his team at Number 10 - and "reforming" the Civil Service - no doubt to ensure a no deal Brexit.

 

The blonde puppet was last heard of on the exclusive Caribbean island that Princess Margaret used to frequent.

Who’s running the country?
