Trump knows the system, it's just funny that a non-politician knew that much about how it all worked.

I don't think anyone is actually exposing him by sharing old Trump quotes, it's complimentary really :)
Oh, I think 'the system' pretty much runs itself my friend ;)

LOL. Nah, Georgie was nowhere near the liar Donnie is.
He was just a hapless tool for ol "Haliburton" Dick Cheney.

In fact, word on the street is that's Big Dick Cheney holding that toothbrush off screen.

I wish Congress had as much conviction to support American interests and protect lives as emphatically as they attack policy and this administration with every opportunity.

They don't have to agree politically, but to attack the president for preventing a larger attack is derelict.

Petraeus Says Trump May Have Helped ‘Reestablish Deterrence’ by Killing Suleimani

Good read. It's nice to get some insight from someone who knows the situation and the players involved.

David Petraeus: It is impossible to overstate the importance of this particular action. It is more significant than the killing of Osama bin Laden or even the death of [Islamic State leader Abu Bakr] al-Baghdadi. Suleimani was the architect and operational commander of the Iranian effort to solidify control of the so-called Shia crescent, stretching from Iran to Iraq through Syria into southern Lebanon. He is responsible for providing explosives, projectiles, and arms and other munitions that killed well over 600 American soldiers and many more of our coalition and Iraqi partners just in Iraq, as well as in many other countries such as Syria. So his death is of enormous significance.

The way I see it, this was a win. And it was also a message - We aren't putting up with this shit anymore so knock it off.

From the same article...

FP: Two previous administrations have reportedly considered this course of action and dismissed it. Why did Trump act now?

DP: The reasoning seems to be to show in the most significant way possible that the U.S. is just not going to allow the continued violence—the rocketing of our bases, the killing of an American contractor, the attacks on shipping, on unarmed drones—without a very significant response.

The brink of war is an excellent position for Trump to campaign from.this year. Watch this killing pay political dividends for Trump for months to come. Anyone standing against the commander in chief will come off as unpatriotic. Even the traditionally hostile media will fall into line.This could prove to be a political masterstroke.

It's a strategy that has been used many times in the past. I won't deny that.

What’s all this World War 3 talk all of a sudden?

I’m seeing more and more posters mentioning it ...I don’t follow the media or social media other then this forum ...

I’m guessing there is a big push on social/traditional media to get the people worked up and scared for World War 3 leading into the 2020 elections?



Note: IMO World War 3 started on 9/11/2001 ...since then the World has been turned upside down - we don’t think of it as a World War 3 because this massive all out Global War isn’t going down in a matter of months, instead it’s been a slow gradual takeover with many lives being lost
