This was done as a distraction from the impeachment much as Reagan and Grenada. US citizens contact your elected officials and let them know you do not want war with Iran. The USA is the culprit here not Iran. CIA blowback! ‘Nuff said!
Peace is great! So why would you ever not also blame Iran and the scumbag Soleimani who helped Hezbollah and Hamas and various violent militias murder people? You want grace for Soleimani? WHY? What would you have rather attempted, a non-violent debate with him to discourage him from orchestrating attacks? Honestly, so long as this assassination doesn't prompt war, then picking off the leaders of violence like this seems like it would be a vast improvement over war. Almost like resolving global conflicts via dueling. Are people just upset that the US would be way better at it? Not a fair fight? Oh well.
Could've been intended to distract from the impeachment. Could've been intended to force Democrats into the appearance of publicly supporting Iran. Could've been intended to start a war to please Exxon, Raytheon, and Israel. Could've been a needless show of force to reinforce American power to the whole world. Could've been all of the above, and more, besides the official explanation that Soleimani needed to go because he was arranging more American murder. Also could've been that, though. If it were just that last one, hypothetically, would people here object to taking him out, and insist that American forces take their Iranian terrorist medicine?
