Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd : Transcript: NPR's Full Interview With Iran's Foreign Minister

i've been thinking along the same lines as cornelius. nothing suleimani did was without the accord, the full accord, of ayatollah khomani. you have to ask cornelius's questions: what if trump decided to assassinate the ayatollah. that would be a unilaterial decision to enter into war with iran.

for what?

it is an insane idea, that only an arrogant and uneducated idiot would entertain.

yet he did something that is very close to that.

"Third is they attacked a citizen and a senior official of Iran. We're responsible under international law for protection of our citizens. This was an act of aggression, an armed attack, albeit a cowardly armed attack, against an Iranian official in foreign territory. It amounts to war, and we will respond according to our own timing and choice."

As all United States Americans know, Donald Trump their brave commander-in-chief did his level best to avoid doing any military service and this is probably one of the reasons why early in his presidency, Trump the Besserwisser who  claims that  he knows " more than everybody" was already boasting that he knows better than any of his generals: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do" and later in his career Trump felt no remorse about taunting John McCain record as an American war hero

Would Trump dare to assassinate the Military Commander-in-Chief of Russia whilst that chief was on a state visit in Iraq? Would Trump have the testicular fortitude to assassinate China's military Chief? Would he not tremble before challenging North Korea in like manner?
