Trump contrasts ‘civilized world’ to Iran, but who are the true barbarians?

Trump said Iran is in conflict with the ‘civilized world,’ but civilized states don’t seek regime change, lead aggressive wars, and trash international law like the US has done more than once. So, who are the true barbarians?

The real question should be what this assassination is really about?
Is it part of Trump’s campaign strategy to be re-elected in 2020?!?

Is it to curb the massive Iraqi protests against the corrupt regime?

The drone strike that assassinated General Soleimani on 3 January happened at the Baghdad International Airport (within 100 miles from Iran’s border).
Why didn’t Iraq shoot down the drone?!?


Qasem Soleimani was a supporter of the US-backed Arab Spring since it began in late 2010.
In a May 2011 speech in Qom, Soleimani declared that the uprisings “provide our revolution with the greatest opportunities … we must witness victory in Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria. This is the fruit of the Islamic Revolution”.

Soleimani has also supported Syria’s president Assad (with his British banker wife).

In the summer of 2018, President Donald made another one of his famous BS tweets to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani:

NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

In response, Soleimani tore into Trump with unusual bombast in a speech:

The U.S. president … made some idiotic comments on Twitter. It is beneath the dignity of the president of the great Islamic country of Iran to respond, so I will respond, as a soldier of our great nation. You threaten us with a measure that the world has not seen before. First of all, it has been over a year since Trump became U.S. president, but that man’s rhetoric is still that of a casino, of a bar. He talks to the world in the style of a bartender or a casino manager.

Mr. Trump, the gambler! […] You are well aware of our power and capabilities in the region. You know how powerful we are in asymmetrical warfare. Come, we are waiting for you. We are the real men on the scene, as far as you are concerned. You know that a war would mean the loss of all your capabilities. You may start the war, but we will be the ones to determine its end.

It’s unfortunate that Soleimani forgot to mention that Donald Trump has in fact been a failed casino manager: https://ctc.usma.edu/qassem-soleimani-ir...-strategy/

Not only Qasem Soleimani was killed in the drone attack, but also the Iraqis Mohammed Reza Al-Jaberi (senior Iraqi commander and head of public affairs of the Hashd), and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis (deputy chairman of the Hashd): http://www.renegadetribune.com/soleimani...r-on-iran/

The SA-15 Tor defense system used by Iran has one major vulnerability. It can be hacked or “spoofed,”permitting an intruder to impersonate a legitimate user and take control..
