World is better off without that dude but problem is this action opened the door to new problems that might cost even more lives than if the general was still alive.
Sounds more like you think the world was better off with him alive. Sometimes that's true. Sometimes you're better off with a tyrant than a martyr. Given how many people tranpled themselves to death to participate in standing in streets miles away from the aborted burial, I'd say we definitely accomplished the martyr bit.
"Americans by more than 2-1 say the killing of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani has made the United States less safe, a nationwide USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll finds, amid broad concerns about the potential consequences ahead. A majority of those surveyed, by 52%-34%, called Trump's behavior with Iran "reckless.""
If a 52-34 majority think Trump is reckless, then they also think he's not fit for office. Bad news for Trump's reelection chances.
Wag the Dog: "By 47%-39%, those surveyed said Trump ordered the killing of Soleimani in an attempt to divert the focus from his impeachment." Given the poor reception by senators at the Iran briefing -- where evidence that Soleimani was an immenent threat was lacking -- the "wag the dog" theory moves from silly conspiracy theory to a plausible explanation.
If Trump came up with a cure for cancer ( I guess he kinda did), the Dems would say it would make America less safe..
Democrats... are making America less safe!
Iraq has also announced a greater role for the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) militias in the defense of the country. They would be wise to do so as the coalition of states behind the wars on Syria, Iraq, and Iran will shift their strategy to destabilizing the country with ISIS.
