Another US forces Iraqi airbase hit just a few hours ago, time to get out of the Middle East

in #backscratcher5 years ago


Hezbollah announced several hours ago, they will target ALL US bases in response to Soleimani assassination. How did assassinating him make the US safer if it makes every base and embassy at risk now? Do you really believe they were all at imminent risk before this? That math isn't working out. Soleimani is no longer there to quiet the uprising and control them or any other militias, creating yet another power vacuum.

A couple hours ago or so, another US forces Iraqi base was hit with rockets. Fox News and Trump want you to believe this was the imminent threat and it was already planned. 🙄 As of the time I discovered the news, no US news sources were covering it as of yet. I discovered it on a German news site. Let them spin this however they want. Creating more tensions in the region by assassinating a military leader that is the primary contact for many of the militias across Lebanon, Iraq, and Afghanistan; is what causes imminence of attack, much more than what was already present.

The tensions led to the downing of the Ukrainian flight. Iranians believed the US would send cruise missiles just like the time Trump sent them to Syria. The Iranian missile battery commander stated he believed the Ukrainian plane was a cruise missile, and now wishes he was dead- for making the mistake. Iranian and Ukraine government should have grounded all civil air flights for 24 hours or communicated to the military and missile battery unit that civil air flights were still active.

Believe whatever you want. We may not drink the same Kool-Aid flavor, but I won't let my cheese slide too far off my cracker. The U.S. is in for major problems in the Middle East if we don't get out of there soon.
