Let's see the results are we're getting out of Iraq, Iran has an excuse to back out of nuke deal, and the Iranian people who have been protesting their government in large numbers are now rallying behind it in large numbers.
"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.
I don't see his death tempering Iran's ambitions in the region, so in the long term that risk factor hasn't decreased. Their new commander will probably be more cautious for a few months though. It has introduced a new risk of further Iranian retaliation for revenge purposes. Only time will tell whether matters have improved or not.

Yes, that is BREAKING "NEWS" straight from Moscow.
