It wouldn’t hurt to bring this up the next time someone tells you Trump is an anti-war candidate.

    If his version of ‘better’ involves MOABs and a giant set of smoking craters in the Middle East, then yes. Trump was the one that launched all those tomahawks on that base and assassinated an Iranian general unprovoked, though, so we kind of already know his MO. In addition to dropping that MOAB in Afghanistan.

    There’s only one choice this fall, and it certainly isn’t Trump.

      I wouldn’t exactly call that assassination unprovoked. That specific general had led the Quds Force in operations that caused the deaths of hundreds of US soldiers and the injuries of tens of thousands of other soldiers. Then there’s the many, many other operations that the Quds Force have engaged in as part of Iran’s proxy wars in the region. He definitely earned a spot on the shit list.

      Was it a wise decision to target him? I don’t know. But he had done plenty to deserve his fate.
