Democrats... "OMG TRUMP SPEAKS DIRECTLY WITH ENEMY LEADERS! WHAT A DICTATOR LOVER HE IS!"


Democrats... "OMG TRUMP DID A RETALIATION ATTACK ON ONE OF THE WORST TERRORISTS WHO HAVE CALLED FOR OUR DESTRUCTION! WHAT A MEAN BULLY!"


Trump is darned if he does and darned if he doesn't. Democrats truly don't care about anything other than complaining about Trump regardless of the path he takes.

Lol...you guys sitting comfortably on your sofas in heated rooms are always the first to talk as if you’re full of pyss and vinegar. Not one of you has any idea what this means.

Ask Israel about Hezbollah if you think this is a joke. This wasn’t a success...it’s an escalation. You think Hezbollah is gonna just forget that we killed their guy?

Now you’re gonna have to deal directly with Iranian proxies once again in Iraq, and that went disastrously the last time, in case you forgot.

Make no mistake, these same people screamed themselves hoarse cheering on the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Sorry your terrorist leaders died today. RIP.

I'm all for the US to eventually get out of Iraq and the middle east on the whole, as much as we can for the sake of peace, if it is ever even achievable over there.

But this was a decisive, powerful and deliberate act by President Trump to send a message to everyone worldwide, that if you attack US citizens or US embassies, this will be the result.

Another dead terrorist, good riddance.

Will be interesting to see if Iran tries to deliver a retaliation, but I'd be scared as hell to, if I were their leadership right now.

Nobody suggested that the US was going to nuke anyone....perhaps you misunderstood what I said.

As to why people would be afraid of the US, from 2003 to 2018 about half a million Iraqis died as a result of the country pissing the US off....also Saddam Hussein and his family aren't doing so well right now.

Do you really think Iran wants that? There's literally nothing they could do to prevent it if the US simply decided to crush them.

I'm sure if you asked him yesterday Qasem Soleimani would have told you that the US would never take him out.....he'd have been wrong and you are as well.

Iran could do nothing to defend themselves if the US decided to cripple them with missile and air strikes. Also, neither Russia or China is going to war with the US over them.

I'm a Democrat. See one of my prior posts on thread. I certainly give Trump a lot of credit.

The West's kow-towing to these "people" got going in a big way with the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973, and the "Zionism is Racism" resolution of 1975. It crested with Obama bowing to the King of KSA. Maybe if people can take some time off from Trump Derangement Syndrome (I have even though I'm a liberal Democrat) they'd acknowledge that the West is being made great again.

I was watching CNN and their solemn, confused faces. The panel was so anti-Trump it was comical.

The CNN & MSNBC media are trying to spin this best they can against Trump. Really pathetic how low they go.
