Major General Qassem Soleimani, leader of the IRGC Quds Force, has been killed in a US airstrike while on the way to the Baghdad airport.
US regime stated that it was revenge for the storming of the US embassy in Baghdad earlier in the week; which itself was a reaction to US bombing the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), an Iraqi militia groups allied with Iran which has been fighting Daesh for years in Iraq and Syria.
This entire mess was provoked some months ago when US and zionist drones first bombed PMU bases in Iraq and Syria. This was followed by sudden protests and the vandalization of the Iranian Consulate in Baghdad by protesters.
It is quite suspect that the US occupation forces knew that the convoy carrying Qassem Soleimani and others would be coming that way at that time. Someone may have tipped them off.
Major General Qassem Soleimani was a legendary leader of the elite Al Quds unit of the IRGC since 2002. He served in the Iran-Iraq war, distinguished himself on the battlefield, and led operations inside Iraq during the Saddam Hussein era.
In recent years, Major General Qassem Soleimani’s strategic acumen has saved Iraq from further ravages by the ISIS and other US/Zionist-sponsored terrorist groups.
His efforts at fortifying Baghdad prevented an ISIS assault and takeover of the city, and helped the Iraqi army retake control of territory from ISIS.
But the US regime never talks about this. To them, he is a terrorist killer upon whom the US regime blamed all its incompetence and failures.
US regime clowns, like Pompeo and that warmongering sewer rat Lindsey Graham, issued whiny rants via social media about how Major General Qassem Soleimani thwarted and complicated plans to create a pro-US consensus in the region, and set Shiites in Iraq and elsewhere against the US.
It was the US illegal invasion of Iraq based on WMD lies in March of 2003 that set Shiites and other Iraqis against the US. This was preceded by 12 years of harsh sanctions that killed 500,000 Iraqi children. Iran did not need to lift a finger. That was all US doing.
The US invasion spawned unrest and chaos which allowed Al Qaeda in Iraq to grow, followed by ISIS and its takeover of half of Iraq. Therefore, the US is 100% responsible for everything that has happened since then.
One of the main reasons why the US is so reviled in the Arab world and the Mideast is because it is too deluded to realize how much its deranged policies and actions have hurt everyone around them. When people complain and fight back, they are branded terrorists and 'freedom haters.'
The Iraqi government eventually asked Iran for help, and got it.
What the US objects to as Major General Qassem Soleimani’s repeated attempts at ‘undermining its plans for stability in the region’ is simply Iran preventing Iraq, Syria, and other countries nearby from having their governments overthrown by US proxy terrorists, then replaced with pro-US puppets who will allow the US to use those countries as staging grounds for future provocations and attacks against Iran.
So if the US has a problem with Iran’s presence in Iraq, then it can only blame itself. Iran’s presence in Iraq is due to the mess the US made in 2003. No if’s, and’s, buts or tweets about it.
Major General Qassem Soleimani was the scourge of ISIS, and Dotard Trump killed him. Perhaps his effectiveness at eradicating ISIS was not to the US regime’s liking.
If ISIS rears its head in Iraq again and starts causing chaos, then the US will be to blame for it.
US forces and other functionaries currently stationed in Iraq are sitting ducks, and their situation remains precarious and uncertain. They are surrounded on all sides by hostile forces, right in the middle. Easy pickings.
Iran has vowed retaliation for this reckless and stupid act of terrorism, and Iran follows up on its warnings.
The assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani will not change Iran’s resolve in Iraq. Ayatollah Khamenei has announced that Iran will double its efforts, that its operations will be expanded, adjust its tactics, and root out those responsible for the killing of Qassem Soleimani.
Realizing what they have done wasn’t so smart, Trump and Pompeo have started tweeting that they want a de-escalation and negotiations with Iran. They also ordered all US citizens to depart Iraq as fast as possible. US regime is scared of retaliation which will inevitably come.
The US, battered on the international stage throughout 2019, is set to suffer even more failures and setbacks in 2020.
If Trump thinks he can distract people from his current predicament and failures with this mafia-style murder, then he is mistaken. If he thinks that Iran will give him what he wants, then he is hopelessly stupid.
Looking at how the US conducts itself in foreign affairs, its behavior is on par with the Corleone family in the Godfather movies. The similarities between that dysfunctional, criminal family to Trump's is uncanny. All you have to do is change their names, and you have instant Corleones or Trumps.
And this is not that much of a stretch since the Trump family actually has connections to filthy zionist Mossad agents and Jewish gangsters going back to Bugsy Siegel, Moe Dalitz, Meyer Lansky and others, through Trump's scumbag son-in-law Jared Kushner and his low-life father. The dots connect quite far and low.
Fake smiles and promises, followed by treachery, betrayal, guns, bombs and knives. This is the essence of what passes for diplomacy within the degenerate global criminal syndicate known as the US government.
Trump has lied, and did not honor his campaign promises. He has not ended the wars, is putting more troops in war zones, has not pursued good relations with other countries, created unnecessary enemies, abandoned treaties, damaged the US economy, and committed acts of war and aggression based on lies, just like his rotten predecessors.
And if he continues these reckless and destructive policies In Iraq and elsewhere, then he will be ‘bringing US troops home’ in body bags.
And then Trump will receive the kiss of death from the voters, the establishment, or both; just like old Fredo.
